My problem is, sync encountered an error while connecting: unknown error please retry preferences. I tried to resync, but my email address was already synced. Help!

The above just started happening yesterday, I click it off and it pops back up again. Today, I tried to set-up sync and it showed my email already existed.
I have problem number 2, which has been going on for sometime now, "we noticed you may have signed in or signed out in another window. Click o.k. to reload your page. Today, I went to file and clicked exit and restart Firefox and the same thing happened. Please help me!

I had the same error,
I accidentally saved the password server XXXX.services.mozilla.com
Once the password unregistered, synchronization started to operate.
for more logs, we can look at the variables in about: config and doing a search services.sync
services.sync.lastSync may be useful to track the status of the synchronization

  • Why do I need to set up sync when I only use 1 computer. A warning showed up that says: Sync encountered an error while connecting: Unknown error. Please try again.

    When I started up my computer this morning, a warning popped up saying: ! Sync encountered an error while connecting: Unknown error. Please try again.
    Why do I need to set up Sync on Firefox when I only use this one computer and do not even have a cell phone?

  • Sync encountered an error while synchronising: Unknown error

    I'm using Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
    I set up a sync account to transfer my history, etc. from my old desktop to my new laptop (details above). Since then, i haven't used my desktop, just the laptop.
    For about the last week or so, the following error message keeps popping up at the foot of the screen:
    "Sync encountered an error while synchronising: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." And there is a 'Sync now' button.
    I can't think of anything that I've done (installing extensions, etc.) to cause this to happen.
    Any ideas, anyone? All help appreciated.

    Go to [https://account.services.mozilla.com/ your sync account], log in, and click clear your sync data.
    Then click the Sync now button on the error message.
    The error went away for me.

  • I want to sync my 2 computers, but my email address is already used

    I want to sync 2 computers, but I can't set up an account because my email address is invalid, because, I think, I already have a sync account, and I don't know how to access the existing account so that I can add a device

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    Hi,
    Sometimes the server is not available and you can get an error like this one. Usually it works if you try to sync later. If this doesn't work, take a look to [https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/ this post] to learn how to report a bug.
    Let me know if this is helpful.

  • Sync encountered an error while connecting: Server incorrectly configured

    I have started getting the following message for some reason. No one has been able to answer it on the user forums. Can you help please? "Sync encountered an error while connecting: Server incorrectly configured. Please try again"

    same thing, started today. i have pasted my sync-log here. my username has been changed from my real username to "username". i noticed the URL in the log. nslookup returns Non-authoritative answer:
