How to stop Sync from duplicating my Bookmarks

When I open FF on either my Mac or PC, I find duplicate bookmarks. When I delete the dups, they appear the next day. This has happened now for the past week and I am tired of having to delete them each day!!
What is going on and how do I fix this?

I was having this problem. After almost pulling all my hair out trying to figure out why my bookmarks keep duplicating, even after I deleted my Firefox installation, deleted my Sync account, and created a fresh installation and fresh sync account, and I still watched as my bookmarks kept duplicating even after they were totally deleted. I then disabled my WiFi to see if I could isolate the problem, and I was still watching my bookmarks duplicate in multiples of 20+ right before my eyes!!! Then, I knew the problem was much deeper than the bookmarks Syncing process. It turned out to be a conflict between Firefox Syncing bookmarks and Apple's iCloud bookmarks Add-on for Firefox. Once I removed Apple's iCloud Bookmarks Add-on, the duplicating stopped. I restored my bookmarks backup saved to my cloud account and everything is working perfect now. Thank goodness!

  • I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad.  As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message.  I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

    I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad.  As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync.  I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed.  Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • I find very annoying that, although the cursor is flashing in the serch box, unless that box has been clicked in to enable it, typing goes to the nearest topic in the bookmark list. how to stop it from happening?

    i use Google home page as my firefox home page. often i find that although the cursor is flashing in the serch box, unless that box has been clicked in to enable it, typing goes to the nearest topic in the bookmark list instead of accepting the typing. how to stop it from happening? why not stop the cursor from appearing in the search box unless you have clicked in it?

    Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
    I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
    When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
    Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
    Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

  • How to stop iPad from transferring apps to Mac?

    First off, let me state that I have iCloud backups of the most important app data and I don't care that I don't have backups for the rest. I don't care that those apps might one day be gone from the App Store. I don't care about saving my game data.
    What I do care about is that I shouldn't be forced to have a backup of ALL the apps on my iPad/iPhone on my MBP, which didn't come with unlimited storage space.
    I think at one point I was asked by iTunes if I wanted to transfer the purchases to my Mac (or if I wanted to backup the apps? I don't remember) and I foolishly clicked yes. Now, even though I have clicked on "Rest Warnings" multiple times, iTunes still insists on copying all the apps to my Mac without asking me if I wanna do it.
    I saw some suggestions about creating empty folders and stuff but I don't wanna do that. It just doesn't make sense that Apple doesn't give us an option to NOT backup our apps to our Macs. I thought the point of having an App Store where you can download your purchases anytime you want is so that you don't have to keep everything on your Mac.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I hope you get a solution soon. I've been having this problem too. I under any circumstances don't want my apps on my computer either, I remember when I bought my first iPad iTunes used to have an option to choose whether or not to sync/transfer apps but now its gone and it drives me crazy everytime I want to transfer music. I remember this option was Under the tab "Apps" in the device and under the Apps list. It was a check box like the ones that the Music and other library syncing currently have. But i havent seen it in a while. Apple really screwed this up.

  • How to stop FIM from Deleting Connections?

    There is something that i need, but have ben unable to do... and that is to keep my BDC data even when there is no connection. I have not been able to figure out how to stop deletes from happening... this is what happens when my service is down
    This is the result of the DeltaImport... It adds a SPS-Dummy object and removes all my objects, this causes all my fields in the user profile to become empty. I do not want this to happen. How can I configure FIM to not do this?
    This is the result of the DeltaSync...
    I have been working on this for days, and I just can't figure it out. I am going crazy!!! Please assist me.

    Hi Marc,
    Sorry for the typo. It's a BDC source, I use a WCF client to access a SQL Database (HR External System) that has 4 fields that are necessary to present in the Sharepoint User Profile. The issue occurs with a Full or a Delta Sync. The problem is that if the
    BDC source is not present the fields are deleted (I get a SPS-Dummy Added and all of the pbjects in the BDC Connector Space are deleted).
    I do not want this to happen. I do not want the User Profile Attributes/Fields to be empty/deleted if there is no connection I simply want them to stay what they are... I have two issues.
    1) Is that the even if i change my data on SQL Server side, the changes do not get picked up by the sync. Since the only field that is being tested for change is an ADid, since the id does not change the BDC does not consider them changes.
    2) If there is no connection I do not want the attributes to be deleted. I have not figured out a way to effectively do this.
    So my issue appears to be simple to solve, but after 4 days and hundreds of tutorial pages read I have yet to figure out a proper way to do this.
    Here is the pseudo-specification
    The Fields that come form the HR System (SQL Server) are to be presented in the user profile. If there is no connection to the BDC file the fields remain as they are until there is a connection and updates can be made. Changes to any of the fields are performed
    manually in the HR system. These changes must be picked up by the daily sync.

    How to stop Firefox from checking for add-on compatibility every time it opens?

    That can be a problem with the compatibility.ini file in the Firefox profile folder.
    Try to rename (or delete) the compatibility.ini file in the Firefox profile folder to see if that helps.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

    You can also check for problems with preferences.
    Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

    Restore the new Ipod from the backup of the old one.  When you first connect the new iPod to the syncing computer, iTunes should tell you that it found a backup and would you like to restore the iPod from that backup or as a new iPod.

  • How to stop mail from recovering a too large message

    how to stop mail from recovering a too large message

    You can't stop Mail from storing sent messages locally. If they're synchronized with the IMAP server, they'll still be present locally. The only way to get the effect you seem to want is to use webmail.

    How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

    You need to find and delete (move to the Trash) the offline mail cache (.offline cache.) It's a hidden folder (files and folders with a preceding dot are hidden) inside the Mail folder (inside IMAP) in your user library. Since it's hidden, in order to see it run the following command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. Hit return/enter once you have pasted in the command.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true ; killall Finder
    To reverse this and hide all those hidden files and folders again
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false ; killall Finder
    Leave hidden files/folders enabled until you finish emptying the Trash so you know it's gone.

    How to stop Mail from selecting addresses from the list of Previous Recipients?

    This is a related question.
    I deleted ALL my previous recipients and when I create a new e-mail it STILL is getting addresses that I don't want - they pop up and I don't know how to stop this!
    I switched from one ISP to another - I deleted the old e-mail account in MAIL - I DID use the same name on the account - is that why it keeps bringing up the old address? 
    ARGH!

    Add image to iPhoto Library
    From where.  I don't think you can keep it mininmized when importing because if it runs into a duplicate it will present a warning window for you to make a decision in. Therefore, it will always be open when importing.
