I cannot sync because both computers insist I register the other device with their code and vice versa

I want to sync two computers, but both insist they have the master code and insist that I enter it into the other machine. however the other machine will not accept it.

From your description, I believe you are not logged in with any of your machines. Do you see something like [https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/compcode.jpg this image on the left]? If that appears in both of your computers, you need to log in first. Once you do that in one computer, you would see [https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/2011-01-27-15-46-25-9c0352.png this menu].
This way you could proceed as explained from the Step 2 in this article: [[How to sync Firefox settings between computers]].
In order to log-in with one computer, make sure you follow Cor-el's intructions:
"Tools > Options > Sync" or "Firefox > Set Up Sync":
Click "Set Up Firefox Sync" to go to "Firefox Sync Setup"
Click "I already have a Firefox Sync account" : Connect
Click "I don't have the device with me" at the bottom
The "I don't have the device with me" appears at the bottom of the 3 boxes with the code.
Remember that in order to log-in, you would need to have your sync-key.
If you don't have it anymore, the only way to proceed is to go to [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ your account] and delete it. That way you can start from scratch and by following the steps in the article I linked you should be fine.

  • Outlook 2007 Calendar Appointments have stopped syncing with iPhone 3GS and Vice Versa.

    Outlook 2007 Calendar Appts have stopped syncing with iPhone 3GS and Vice Versa. Only noticed in last month or so. Help required please.
    May have been after an iTunes update.
    Have upgraded to latest version of iTunes and iOS but to no avail.
    Contacts sync OK both ways, it's just Calendar Appointments that don't.
    Any ideas and assistance greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • ITS Content Cannot Sync Because Apple TV could not contact the iTune Store

    No wonder it's still a hobby. Once again, I woke up to discover that all my synced iTS content had simply disappeared from my Apple TVs [third time this has happened with over 100gb of content), and neither one of them was appearing in my iTunes "control" Mac mini. Both of them. Photos and non-iTS music were still there, that is, until I had to disconnect/reconnect to my mini, in which case I had to start from scratch. Upon rebooting the ATVs, the rental video content was available, but when I tried to re-sync my purchased content libraries, I get this message: "Some of the items were not copied to the Apple TV because the Apple TV could not contact the iTunes store to authorize." Checked my account. It's fine. Actually then tested a rental and a purchase from the Apple TV, and that worked fine, so obviously my network can access the iTS and so can the ATV. But when I try to sync, ATV claims it cannot access the iTS. This is happening on both. So, I quit iTunes and remove the iTunes plist files and start over. Same story!

    So, after searching more here, I decided to try an authorize/deauthorize/authorize set of steps; the computer itself was already properly authorized, but what the heck. Presto.

  • Google calendar not syncing anymore with my BB and vice-versa

    Hi everyone!
    A few days ago, I updated my BB curve 9360 to OS 7.1 and earlier today I noticed that my Google calendar was not syncing properly... Well wasn't syncing at all. However I received mails and was able to delete them correctly
    First I noticed, that my email address was not registered as a calendar anymore. Then I tried to send service books which added my Google calendar as default calendar in my BlackBerry (good thing I guess).
    But that's all it did. Now, when I add a new event in Google calendar using my BB, it doesn't sync with the Internet-based calendar and when I add a new event in Google calendar, it does not sync with my BB either (and I have waited more than 30 minutes).
    So here is what I can do to try and solve this problem:
    -Send service books one more time but I don't think it is very useful
    -Delete my email account and setting it up once again
    So I am completely lost because it has always worked until I updated my OS from 7.0 to 7.1. My data plan hasn't changed.
    Thank you for your help
    Regards,

    Hi ThomasDM,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    To resolve this issue with calendar synchronization, please try forcing a Gmail® synchronization on the BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 smartphone. Before doing this could you please verify once more that your default calendar on the BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 smartphone is still listed as your Gmail® account?
    1. Click the Menu key > Options > under Accounts click the Gmail® account > remove the Checkmark from Wireless Synchronization > click the Back menu key and Save
    2. Under Accounts click the Gmail® account > place a Checkmark in the Wireless Synchronization   box > click the Back menu key and Save
    Note: The following prompt will appear " Some of your calendar changes might be lost. Enable wireless Calendar?" Yes or No. Click Yes
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a way to sync iCloud Calendar with Google Calendar and vice versa?

    I have been using Google Calendar for awhile and really just like the design of Mac's calendar a lot more. I want to use the calendar feature on iCloud because I can access it online when I need to. However I use an Android so I don't think I can completely utilize the iCloud Calendar feature on my phone. Is there a way to get Google Calendar and iCloud Calendar to talk?

    Welcome to the Apple community.

  • We have 2 users on our computer both using Yahoo as our home page. One user page loads fine but the other loads with awhite background and text overlayed on other text. Can you help?

    Not much else to add.

    I'd still prefer to keep separate user accounts. I never had any issues like this before. The only time I started having a problem was when I was just trying to force empty the trash a few months ago. I came on here looking for a solution and someone posted a way to empty the trash using the terminal. Before then, I hadn't used the terminal for anything--it was just another app in my utilities folder.  (None of this has anything to do with having separate user accounts. Plenty of people with kids make second and third user accounts on their laptops so that multiple people can use one laptop, having more than one user on a laptop is not very difficult.) But thank you, I'll try that out and see if it works!

  • You cannot login because an error occurred while retrieving the login URL.(WWC-41441)

    Hi,
    I have a Portal install with the following specifications:
    OS - Sun Solaris 2.6
    DB - 8.1.7.0.0
    iAS - 1.0.2.2
    Portal - 3.0.9.0.7
    It was working fine. Then the initjvm.sql that installs the JVM
    in the database was run. This was done as part of the steps
    required for enabling the UTL_SMTP. The script ran without any
    errors but after that Portal Login was failing with the following
    error:
    You cannot login because an error occurred while retrieving the
    login URL. (WWC-41441)
    and there were no Java classes present in the Portal or SSO
    schema. To overcome this error I reloaded the SSOHash classes to
    Portal and SSO schemas and ran ssodatan. The script ran
    successfully and I was able to login to the Portal after that.
    However, if I login as the administrator and try to create or
    edit users from the Administer tab of Portal, the same error
    occurs again:
    You cannot login because an error occurred while retrieving the
    login URL. (WWC-41441)
    I can programmatically add users using the Security APIs.
    The wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table of the Portal schema
    contains one row but the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table of the
    SSO Schema contains no rows.
    This install of Portal is hosting a number of applications and as
    such running opca again is not an option.
    Any workaround for this?
    Thanks,
    Rupesh

    Hi,
    I ran ssodatan again and got the following error:
    ERROR: Setting Login Server Partner App
    ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
    I then found out that the wwsec_sso_enabler_private in the SSO
    schema is invalid and this was causing the above error. I tried
    recompiling the package but got the following error:

    The same package in the Portal schema is valid. Will an

    To sync via wifi you first have to connect to computer via USB and check the box in the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes that sync via wifi.
    Note you can only sync with one computer. If you change syncing computers you have to restore the iPod on the second computer.

    Thanks Gail but ive tried that as well as logging oht and back into my accounts on my iphone and mac but I still get that message. I actually found a solution by unckecking my synced music playlist and clicking sync to remove it and then reclicked on my playlist to sync and it actually synced notmally and I got all of my new songs so I wanted to test it again so I clicked on sync again and the message once again popped up until I did the un-syncing and re-syncing again. I guess I will keep doing that in the future even though its annoying but its better than resetting my iphone.

    I recently installed a new hard drive in a MacBook 2007 and then 10.6.3. I'd like to be able to Sync iCal to the calendars I have created on other devices (new iCloud account and an ME account). I can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 because the MacBook is 32 bit. Just looking for a workaround as this is not a primary device.

    You should update to the latest version of Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 - you can download it here; however it's still not compatible with iCloud and though you can connect to access your email you cannot access any other of iCloud's facilities.
    However some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. I've not tried it: use at your own discretion.
    To access the email:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    Are you sure you can't upgrade to Lion? It requires an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which you may well have, though it also needs 2GB RAM so you might need to add additional RAM (might not be worth it for what you want). The published specs don't mention 32 or 64 bit. You can buy Lion by ringing the Apple Store at the number at bottom left of this page.
