New Sync entries in prefs.js

I've noticed that after using the new History button ("history-panelmenu"), the following entries are added to prefs.js:
user_pref("services.sync.clients.lastSync", "0");
user_pref("services.sync.clients.lastSyncLocal", "0");
user_pref("services.sync.declinedEngines", "");
user_pref("services.sync.globalScore", 0);
user_pref("services.sync.migrated", true);
user_pref("services.sync.nextSync", 0);
user_pref("services.sync.tabs.lastSync", "0");
user_pref("services.sync.tabs.lastSyncLocal", "0");
I never use the Sync service. Is there a way to completely disable Sync and remove those entries?
Thank you.

Hi Yaron,
If there is a sync account you can remove it. As far a removing the preferences you can reset Firefox.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you.

Updated ios8 on ipad: new calendar entries do not sync to other Apple devices through iCloud

After downloading the latest ios8 update, the calendar function on my iPad no longer syncs as it should with my other Apple devices. Specifically, it will receive calendar entries made on those other devices but I can not make an entry on my iPad show up on the other devices. How do I fix this?
Related to this, some of the support community entries suggest logging out of iCloud and then logging back in. But then I read that what I have to do to do that is to delete my account. I don't want to do that. I want to keep everything I have on my iPad- mail, calendar, notes. I just want the sync function for new calendar entries to work.

Check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) on your iPad and make sure it's set to an iCloud calendar. If it isn't, make this change, then test calendars syncing again.
If your default calendar is set to and iCloud calendar, go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Calendars, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then turn Calendars back on. Test your calendar and see if it syncs properly now.

I have firefox sync setup in my laptop with firefox 3.6. I am migrating to a new laptop with firefox 4. How to import the synced entries from my old browser?

I have been using Sync plugin with my Firefox 3.6 installation. Now I am moving to a new laptop with Firefox 4. How do I import the synced entries from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4?

Hi!
You have 2 options. If you decide to use Firefox Sync to do it, follow the instructions described here: [[How to sync Firefox settings between computers]]
The other option is to do it manually. To do so, you need to migrate the profile. Follow this steps: [[Backing up your information]]

Cannot type existing new Sync key in entry field

I recently changed my Sync key on my desktop, but when I try to type the new Sync key into the appropriate field on the options tab for Sync on my laptop, no keyboard input is accepted. No error messages, but I can tap any key and nothing happens. The keyboard and laptop themselves work fine--in fact, I'm typing the question on the laptop now--but this problem renders Firefox Sync basically useless. If I can't sync across multiple platforms, then there's no point. For that matter, if I reinstall my OS on the desktop, if I can't enter the key, the backup for Firefox info goes away. What was the Firefox Sync dev team thinking?!

I have the same problem. The incoming mail field is grey and will not let me type in it.
Any suggestions?

How do I create a new event entry for a specific calendar?

In my iMac Calendar app, I have created a few calendars for different functions. But every time I try to create a new event entry for a specific calendar, the app seems to prefer a different calendar instead by default. I cannot enter events in other calendars. Is there a way to do this? In previous versions, I would highlight the particular calendar I wanted to work with and the entry would go into that calendar. Thanks!

You don't. Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

Iphone4 - NEW calendar entries in the PAST delete themselves!!

I have an iPhone4 which works well but I have an issue with my calendar. I have my works Outlook account synced (works well) and my person google email (works well) - where the problem is, is when I enter a new calendar entry for a past event (I may have forgoten to enter when I went to the dentist last), on save it appears as an event for that day in the list, then after about 2 seconds - its gone! For New events for the future, it works fine!
Anyone else had this problem?

Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
In the Calendars section near the bottom see how far back events are set to sync. That might be your problem.

New iCal entries on iPhone wrong default.

According to iTunes, when I add a new event on the iPhone it defaults to "Birthday", which is a calendar I never created. In the preferences I set it back to "Home" but every time I sync, it goes back to "Birthday"!
I already have a read-only calendar called "Birthdays" that's created by Address Book entries. So where is this extra "Birthday" calendar coming from, and why can't I get it to stop defaulting there?

This is a very serious known bug where new calendar entries will always use the last calendar in your list, no matter what iTunes shows. If you have a read-only calendar as your last calendar in your list (e.g., U.S. Holidays or Seattle Seahawks schedule), then the calendar appointment will disappear the next time that read-only calendar is refreshed from its source. That deletion then gets synchronized to your iPhone, and then it's gone!
The simplest workaround is from within iCal, drag Home down to be the last calendar listed. Then it will work, regardless of what iTunes reports.
Good luck!

How to make room for new calendar entries???

Using PC Suite, I can no longer sync my Lotus Notes calendar with my Nokia phone, because the calendar on my phone is full. I also can't add any new calendar entries on my phone for the same reason.
Question: how can I delete everything older than 1 year on my Nokia phone calendar, without having to manually delete hundreds of items? That would free up the room I need, and I would set my sync settings to make sure the old calendar items don't get synced back to the phone again from Notes.
Thanks for advice on this - it is very frustrating!

Which phone model do you have?
You can clear all the calendar entries on S60 based phones if you have the Calendar app in Month view; Options > Delete entry > All entries (or "Before date").

When I try to create a new sync account using my email address, the response says it's alreay in use. I imagine this is a relic of my old foxmarks account. Is there a way to release that email account from the old version, or to reover the password?

I've gotten an iPhone, and downloaded the Firefox browser to it, and I'd like to sync the browsers between my iMac and iPhone. When I enter my email to create a new sync account, I'm told that it's already in use, but there's no option to retrieve my password.
Any idea how to get around this?

Try the options at https://services.mozilla.com/ and see if you can't recover the password.

FIREFOX 35.0 'NEW' SYNC: I'm already signed-in to Sync but when I click on FF Sync/"Manage" in 'Options' I receive a message that my password is incorrect. Why?

Hi Mozilla support,
My query is twofold but interrelated ... and sorry for the protracted dialogue, in advance :)
(1) Regarding my Sync "Password" + (2) Strange issue in Options/'Sync'/"Manage
Set out below is my 'issue'.
Perhaps you can clarify what is going on here for me and help me to stop this strange occurrence.
I've used firefox since 3.5 and love it.
I now have Firefox 35 on Windows 8 (64-bit) with the 'new' Sync successfully set-up on a newish HP Desktop computer (Envy 23).
While my 'issue' doesn't cause a huge problem, it IS a source of unnecessary frustration & confusion.
If possible I'd like to eliminate that unnecessary stress and enjoy using FF again.
Additionally, I thought this peculiar 'issue' may be an indication of something else amiss in my FF Sync or my FF settings.
Here is the scenario:-
At the moment, I'm signed in to Firefox "Sync" and it IS definitely syncing successfully - the 'circular arrows' spin around & tell me when it was last synced, so I know that's okay.
However, after the last update (to 35.0), I had to "reconnect" sync because it has "disconnected" .
I had terrible trouble signing back in, even though I was using the exact same password I had been using prior to the update.
After several failed attempts to sign in and FF repeatedly telling me I was using the 'incorrect' password, I closed the browser down & restarting FF 35.
FF had somehow 'signed me in' automatically - with the same password I thought was correct or not, I don't know.
Anyway, after all the trouble signing-in I not only felt dubious that all the data WAS syncing, I wanted to take a closer look.
But also I needed to check which password was being used for Sync, when FF signed me in (after the update & restart).
To double-check sync was working properly, I went into - "Options"/Firefox Sync/"Manage" - and was told that I needed to (quote): "Sign in, Continue to Firefox Sync".
I thought it was strange as only a couple of minutes before that, FF had already signed me in & sync seemed to be working. (the circular arrows were spinning)
Not knowing what was going on, I did as suggested by FF and entered my User-name & Password (for a second time).
I was then informed my password was 'incorrect' (please see uploaded/attached image).
I found this odd, considering this 'message' came up even though FF itself had signed me in to Sync after the update to 35 & restart of the browser.
What is confusing to me is the mixed-messages I'm receiving from FF.
FF must have signed me in to Sync using the very same Password that I've used since the 'new' sync was set-up & had been using for some time, but was now informing me in - 'Options/Sync/"Manage" - that the password was incorrect.
Although I am, at this moment, signed in to sync & it is working, I'm utterly confused as to what is or isn't the correct Password.
*If it can be avoided, I don't want to change it because I've saved it in so many places in PC, for future reference.*
Can I 're-save' the same password for Sync again, so that I can be sure that it's correct?
Also, for me, this strange behaviour by FF sync is an unnecessary source of angst and would love you to tell me what is going on or how to fix it please?

# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

I lost my sync key when my harddrive was wiped, so how do I get a new sync key without deleting my saved data?

I synced my firefox bookmarks so that I could reupload them if ever my computer got wiped, so I don't have a second device with the sync key on it. I made the mistake of only saving the sync key on the computer. I just got my computer back from the shop and they wiped my operating system without asking. Now I don't have my sync key and the only way to access my sync account requires that I change the sync key and delete all the data saved on the server. How can I get access to my data?

Sorry, without your Sync Key your data is worthless, it can't be de-crypted, and creating a new Sync Key will wipe it from the Sync server.
BTW, the Firefox Sync service isn't meant for "backups", it is meant to synchronize your Firefox data between different "devices". Any chance you had more than one device setup with that Sync account? If so, you can use the Sync Key from that device.

How can I sync my Android Firefox to a NEW sync account?

My desktop was reformatted, but my bookmarks are still synced to my "firefox beta for android". I'm under the impression the only way to retrieve them back from my android is to set up a new sync account. Yet for the life of me I cannot figure out how to unlink my old sync account from my android.

Help, my new Blog entries, since iLife '08 upgrade, don't show ANY text!

Ever since upgrading to iLife '08, my new Blog entries do not show any of the text once it is uploaded to the server. In fact, all of my recent Blog entries now have all thier text gone when viewed online. Only Blog pages in "Archives" are still normal. What gives?! They all look good in iWeb, but not live. Thanks for your help. Wayne

Hi Cedric. I went ahead and took down all recent changes to my site, and then just re-uploaded my last good set-up from iLife 2006. I think iLife 2008 changes how blog pages are addressed. As an example, my two most recent good entries show on the web as:
http://waynelhenderson.com/Blog/693901ED-99E6-42D3-8AA9-7F8338989B47.html
http://waynelhenderson.com/Blog/629035FF-E021-4B9D-AFE5-D091583E0676.html
Notice the long string of numbers, letters, and dashes, after the word /Blog/? My iWeb in iLife 2008 no longer puts those types of strings at the end of /Blog/. Instead, the Blog web entries show as:
http://waynelhenderson.com/Blog/Entries/2007/10/26Tuning_In_With_Wayne_Henderson_podcast_39_%26_40%2C_by_Wayne_Henderson_Voice-ove rs(206)984-1446iPhone_GreenpeacePackers!.html (before I took it down because it wasn't working right).
Could the fact that instead of the string of number, letters, and dashes after /Blog/, my iLife '08 uses "/Blog/Entries/2007/10/26_Tu....etc" have anything to do with my problem of text not showing?
I've always used the same fonts, sizes, and colors. But now it's not working. What is weird, however, is that if I did Select All, and Copy and Paste the web page contents onto Notepad...the text IS THERE...just not showing on the web.
Argh!
