I've tried every suggested solution to get Sync back working. What can I do?

I use Firefox Sync on three Macs, all running 10.9 Mavericks & Firefox 25. One device consistently fails to sync for the past week or two, though I've tried all the suggested fixes in sequence.
The last sync had this in its error log:
1383581241080 Sync.Service INFO Logging in user mikey23

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

TS2446 My apple id has been disabled. I have tried every suggested recovery technique and nothing has worked. Can someone offer advice?

My Apple ID has been disabled. I have tried every suggested recovery method including the ones recommended by Apple. Nothing has worked. Can anyone offer a suggestion.

Contact iTunes store support. They deal with disabled IDs all the time. You can reach them here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

I have tried EVERY suggestion Adobe has made and no matter what, I get the black "Adobe Reader Installer" screen EVERY TIME!! Any suggestions to help me overcome this problem would be appreciated. BTW: I have a Windows 7 Home OS. I prefer FireFox. I have successfully downloaded Adobe Reader using all the major browsers, however it does NOT matter, I am NOT able to actually install Adobe Reader, every time all I get is the black pop-up "Adobe Reader Installer" screen!!!

PS.... I had a previous version on my computer that needed to be updated.... so I uninstalled it because I was having trouble installing the new version.... so even that did not help!!

This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting. Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
Change DNS Servers
Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on your connected network
Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Try again
If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
On your Mac
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
You can use OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
or
You can Google Public DNS if you want
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
I have actually repointed my routers DNS so all my devices now point to OpenDNS servers

Adobe Air download - "Couldn't write the application to the hard disk. Please verify the hard disk is available and try again" message. Been at this for days. Tried every suggested solution on multiple forums. Anyone come across a reliable fix?

I have a subscription to Adobe Story Plus. I have been attempting to download the desktop version for over a week with no luck. I've read every forum I can find and attempted every suggested solution with no luck.
Things I have done:
- downloaded adobe air directly from website.
- refreshed adobe story after air download and retried story download.
- restarted computer
- attempted download on multiple internet browsers.
***One thing that I have noticed is that I cannot actually find the adobe air application on my pc. The installer is present and every time I try to open it I am told that air is already installed and updated.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm no computer expert, but I am capable enough to usually troubleshoot my own problems. This one has gotten away from me though and I'm out of ideas.
Thank you in advance.
Adam

Does these steps help?
- Download Adobe AIR from https://get.adobe.com/air
- Double click on the downloaded file and install it.
- After installation, download the Adobe Story installer directory from https://story.adobe.com/AIR/AdobeStory.air
- Double click on the downloaded installer to install it.

My scrollbar on my mouse pad on my laptop won't work since I downloaded the 4.0 version. I tried what some other people tried but I still can't get it to work.What can I do to fix it?

I just download the 4.0 version and my scroll pad on my laptop won't work. I have to use my arrow keys or the side bar on the side. The scroll pad works with Internet Explorer and anywhere else just not with Firefox's newest version.

This one is easy. The shortcut is for the old iTunes, that is why it won't work.
I assume you are using Windows.
If so, go to the bottom left of your screen and click the start button. Go up to programs and hold your cursor over it. A list of all your programs should pop up to the right. Move the curso over to iTunes. There should be an "about iTunes" and an iTunes logo there. Right click on the iTunes logo and click create shortcut (you can also just drag it out to your desktop). That will give you a desktop shortcut for your new version.

HT201407 i have a old iphone 4 i want to use for games only but my apple id and password is gone i cant find it i have tryed several times and cant get in to phone what can i do

i have iphone 4 I wantr to use just for games but I don't have my password or apple id for phone how do I fully restore it

You go to https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid if you don't remember the ID.
If you know the ID but not the password, you go to https://iforgot.apple.com and reset it.
If you can't do either of those, you call Apple and speak to someone in account security.

Firefox will not shut down and I have to use the force quit option on my MAC to get it back. What can I do?

At almost every shutdown of Firefox it fails to completely shutdown and when I go to start it up again I must force quit to get it to completely shutdown.
The code says Firefox (not responding)

'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Getting error 107 downloading after effects. Have tried all suggested solutions

Need assistance with downloading after effects trial as I keep getting error 107. Have tried all suggested solutions. Thanks

It isn't the installation of the Adobe Download Assistant which can cause this problem it is where you select to download the install files too. The Adobe Download Assistant would be installed to your Program Files/Applications folder and install files would be downloaded to your user folder, by default, or your desktop.
Alternately you can intitate a direct download by following the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369.

HT202873 I just purchased GB10 last week and I repeatedly keep getting the following message, "Garageband was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open Garageband to download and install them again." I have tried EVERY suggestion!

I just purchased GarageBand 10.0.3 last week and I repeatedly keep getting the following message when I try to download ANY of the FREE Piano lessons in the "Lesson Store", "Garageband was not able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open Garageband to download and install them again." I have tried EVERY suggestion that I have come across on the internet and nothing is working! If I'd known I would encounter this issue, I would not have paid for this. Tried restarting, rebooting, reinstalling, deleting the cache, and on the verge of just reinstalling the OS. I have come across people have the same issue for months and I can't believe Apple has not offered a fix or update or anything.

Immargarita, Since you just purchased the software you qualify for a no charge one on one at an Apple store. They never could tell me what was wrong, but after three visits and not one dime, all lessons downloaded at the store. I was not going home until it worked.
Hint, hint, I had just upgraded OX when the problem started. So... I qualified for tech support. I forgot to get my none working since the up grade Photoshop fixed. Some Java component can't be found and just like GB, the link to Apple for support does not work. I have the good old PS disc. I'm not happy with this cloud stuff.
When you call and give the SN for your computer, they may say it will cost $29.00 dollars for one time support. Instead choose a different prompt, tell the human being what your problem is and set up a visit to the Apple store. BTW, no one at the store seemed to have heard of this issue.
The techie just started the download and ran the activity monitor. The download stopped once. Then he continued it and everything is there now.
Shame on you Apple.
Hope this helps.

Laserjet Color MFP M276nw Cannot connect to Web Services, tried every suggestion on forum

I've tried every suggestion possible on the forum. I opened up all ports suggested by HP support on my Belkin wireless N600 router. Changed DMZ to IP address on printer. We even directly wired ethernet to printer, still cannot connect to Web Services. Now I have to wait till April 4 for a engineer to call me back. Everything else is working fine. I can print wirelessly from my laptop & smartphone. Just cannot access Web Services, oh & firmware is up to date on printer & router. We changed DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

It sounds like you have done everything to connect the web services. Web services will not connect if you are on a guest network but if you are connected via ethernet it should be on the right band. What is the printer's IP address? Sometimes it can be too high. Is this for a company that has a proxy on the network? How far away is the printer from the router? Are there any metal shelves, wireless devices or anything else near the printer or between the printer and the router? Check that the router is on Channel 11.
--Printer Does Not Connect To Web Services--
Have you heard back from the engineer? I am anxious to know how it went. I am happy to help if they don't, otherwise keep me posted on what happens. I possibly have one more step for you.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Ghost Excel workbook opens each time I start excel and prevents formulas - tried all suggested solutions without luck

Hi
When I start excel and open any workbook a 'ghost' work book opens it doesn't contain cells and is just greyed out. When I am working on a document whenever I start to write a formula the ghost wbook opens and I cannot see the original document to complete
the formula. If I open multiple workbooks I sometimes get a ghost workbook for each doc that is open - after a while I get error message to say not enough reources to do even simple tasks like save work or open a document.
I have posted on several forums and tried all suggested solutions without luck - this is really preventing me from using excel which I need daily. Personally though I am only intermediate user I think it may have something to do with a workbook that I downloaded
that had macros in it but I cant be sure
Any help greatly appreciated
Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,
First make sure have installed the latest update. Second, we can repair Office 2013 from Control Panel > Programs and Features. Third, open Excel 2013 in safe mode, if it works fine, disable some 3rd-party application add-ins.
Could you please share a screenshot of this “ghost” workbook and upload it to OneDrive? I’ll analyze it in detail as soon as accessing it.
If there is anything about this issue, don’t hesitate to tell me.
Best regards,
Greta Ge

It's recommended to download and install Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support
teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office programs.

HT4972 My phone doesn't show up in itunes or in my computer. I have tried every suggestion currently listed on this forum. My phone is basically worthless.

I can't get my phone to show up on any of my 4 computers. Used 3 different cables. Tried every suggestion on apple support site.

Ok, so its been a while since I posted anything on here. That's pretty much been because I've been too busy and didn't have time to do anything to sort out my problems with my ipod.
I did as suggested and ran full system scans for viruses, adware and spyware. There was nothing major wrong with my PC. I also tried to format my ipod through the disk management part of the device manager window, after taking a long time to recognise the ipod and try to format it (8 hours) it got to around 70% before failing. So I though I was doomed to bin the ipod.
However I tried again today, to connect to my PC and the ipod had run out of charge completely and displayed pretty much every unhappy icon possible: the sad ipod, the folder and exclamation, and the dead battery. So I plugged the ipod in for a few hours while I went out, and when I came back it was fully charged. From here I had no problem putting the ipod into disk mode and connecting to the PC. This time I could access the ipod as normal through the my computer window and simply told it to do a full format. This completed in less than half an hour, restored the ipod to factory setting and am currently waiting for itunes to put around 3,000 songs onto the ipod.
I have no explaination for why the problem has been solved save to say that running the battery down completely may have done the trick. Sorry this has been such a long post but I am very happy right now (saving £200 on a new ipod). I never even had to reinstall the itunes from my original CD version.
Lastly, a big thank you to all the people who offered their advice.
