Seeing open tabs on other devices

I cannot seem to connect either my iPad or iPhone to the iCloud in such a way in where i can see their open tabs in safari on my macbook.

I have the same problem, though I do now have OS 6.0 on both my iPad and iPhone. Any suggestions?

  • How do I access open tabs from other devices in Firefox 4 for desktop (windows version)

    I want to see the open tabs from other devices but I can't find how to access it.
    Where do I find them in firefox 4?
    I use the windows version.
    Thank you!

    This is for all versions (image attached below):
    1. In the top navigation (you might have to press the ALT key to reveal the menu), navigate to '''History - Tabs From Other Computers'''
    2. Alternatively; open a new tab and type '''about:sync-tabs''' then press enter.
    NB: When you open a tab in the 'Tabs From Other Computers' window it '''WILL NOT''' remove that tab from the other device.

  • No ability to see open Safari tabs in other devices on iPhone 4s

    I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.0.2.  I have set up iCloud on all my devices and it works to sync mail, calendar, contacts on all devices (iMac, iPad & iPhone).  What I can't see on my iPhone are the open Safari tabs in my other devices.  I can see open tabs in other devices (inlcuding the iPhone) on both my iPad and iMac.

    Currently There is only one option to watch 1080P movies from iTunes on your Apple devices... With a sync with a laptop.. Apple by default sends the 720P file... Users have no option to control video download... Some like me want the full file... Some uses may think the 720P file is fine... However I see the difference... And it is big.. The iPhone has a 1080P camera... So it can play and store a 1080P file... And the screen does display a better image... Just watching a iTunes movie and shooting a video in 1080P on your iPhone and you can see the image is better.. YES it's 1080P... not 720... Apple has know from release of iPhone 5 on September 21,2012 iPhone can play 1080P file... However the system is overloaded as I seen on my Apple T.V. On Christmas say ready to pay is 8 hours 22 minutes... I pay for 50MBps download and 5MBps download.. fastest I can get in my area... It's obvious it will load Apple's network and the don't want to make the changes... Users now wanting 1080p files for iPhones/iPads.... The system load would jump off the scale... I contacted Apple told them the issues, currently they have stopped emailing me replies on the issue after issue was escalated to Apple engineers... Apple knows... Yet...
    I want control of what file I download into my device over Wi-Fi... Apple has missed the ball for over two years... Missed it rolling down the hall... Missed it bouncing down the stairs.... Missed it as it rolled across the street and is still going with no fix yet....  

  • Dozens of open tabs lost! Synced them, reinstalled Windows and Firefox, set up Sync, looked up "tabs on other devices" in history - Only a third or so listed.

    Dozens of open tabs lost! Synced them, reinstalled Windows and Firefox, set up Sync, looked up "tabs on other devices" in history -> Only a third or so listed.
    Usually, when I reinstall Windows, I manually backup my Firefox bookmarks and open tabs, but because Sync has worked perfectly for me in the past, I didn't do it this time. I backed up all my other files and settings and whatnot from the rest of my system, then in Firefox I hit the Sync button (put in on the GUI so I see if it's syncing or done) for the last time, waited until the green rotating dot was gone, closed Firefox, shut down the system, formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows and Firefox. After setting up Sync I waited a while to make sure everything is on my system.
    Then I wanted to have all the tabs and windows open as I had on the old system, so I went to the history and "tabs on other devices". I could already see from the small size of the list, that tabs were missing. I went through all of them, opened them and sorted them into windows.
    -> Maybe about two thirds of the tabs I had open on my old system are gone!
    Not just new tabs that might not have been synced (although the button showed sync was complete), but also old tabs (from weeks ago) that must have been synced before. Actually maybe especially or even only the old ones are lost. And the lost tabs are not just from one of the open windows, but from several.
    What can I do to recover my lost tabs?
    They contain important websites that I didn't bookmark yet, articles that I wanted to read, windows with dozens of tabs on a topic that I did some research for and stuff like that.
    What does the green circle mean? Does it indicate that the sync is complete (to the Firefox servers) or just that the changes have been saved locally and set up for some next scheduled sync with the Firefox servers?
    Further info:
    I always run the newest stable release of Firefox (v19 on both systems). Old system was Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation, new system is Windows 8 Pro. My used Sync quota is about 10 MB. I had 4 Firefox windows open with different amount of tabs in each of them, from 10 to maybe 80 with an overall amount of 150-200. Most of them weren't loaded. Firefox start is set to "load last session" and tabs are set to "load when selected". Memory usage 500 MB - 1 GB.

    I have most of the items bookmarked. Having 200 - 300 tabs open saves time, since I don't have to go to the bookmarks, if the tabs are already open. One problem has been crashes, but as long as I can restore a previous session, I can still get to the data. I had quite a few tabs open when I was planning to purchase a new computer. I also follow the stock market, and the weather. I was also looking at various VIrtual Private Networking (VPN) sites. At one time, I probably had 20 - 50 tabs open, just for those. I did bookmark a few, but unfortunately lost the VPN tabs, when Firefox crashed. Even if I don`t go to a particular group of tabs very often, leaving it open is faster, especially since I will know where they are. I often put the computer in standby mode, rather than shutting it off, especially if I will remain in the same location.

  • I can see open tabs from my PC on my Mac, but I can't see open tabs from my Mac on my PC. Why?

    I've set up Sync on my work PC and my home MacBook.
    I can see open tabs from my PC while I'm on my Mac, but I can't see open tabs from my Mac while I'm on my PC. Why?

    Here is what I am seeing on my Android device - at the top, a few options like History > Top Sites> Bookmarks>Reading List. Then, the search/address bar, then to the right of that, a square with the number "1" inside it, then 3 dots that, when chosen, give you the following options:
    New Tab
    New Private Tab
    Request Desktop Site
    Tools
    Settings
    Any thoughts on how I specifically sync my Desktop open tabs to my Android device so I can then see all my desktop open tabs on my phone?
    Thanks!

  • Firefox Sync places "Tabs" from other devices all on a single page.

    Before late yesterday and today, I had never used Firefox Sync. I did eventually find the results under the History menu, under "Tabs from other Devices". The system was not well explained. I searched the internet, and did not find any explanation of where to find the results. All of the "Tabs" were on one page, vertically listed from top to bottom. They were not in the order I had them in my browser windows, but appeared to be in somewhat of a random, haphazard order. Before Firefox crashed yesterday, I probably had 300 - 400 tabs open in the two windows. There is no way the current Sync system will be of any value to me. I have had crashes, for about the last year or so, because my Windows XP computer only has 1.5 Gb of memory, which is still more than a lot of XP computers had. An acquaintance has a Windows Vista computer with 2 Gb memory, and also experiences crashes. I recently purchased a Windows 7 64 bit computer with a lot of memory. I moved by bookmarks over ( for Firefox), and even got Netscape 4.8 running, even though it has a 16 bit installer, that will not run by itself on a 64 bit system, but there seems to be no easy way to transfer the contents of my Firefox tabs over. I considered using MozBackup, to transfer the tabs, but the author said he did not think that was a good idea.

    I have most of the items bookmarked. Having 200 - 300 tabs open saves time, since I don't have to go to the bookmarks, if the tabs are already open. One problem has been crashes, but as long as I can restore a previous session, I can still get to the data. I had quite a few tabs open when I was planning to purchase a new computer. I also follow the stock market, and the weather. I was also looking at various VIrtual Private Networking (VPN) sites. At one time, I probably had 20 - 50 tabs open, just for those.

  • Two devices synced, but firefox will not show most tabs from other devices.

    I have had my laptop and my PC synced forever. Up until a week ago when I clicked "tabs from other devices" it would show me all of my tabs from the other computer, and if I closed one or opened a new one it would show up in the list almost instantly. Now all of a sudden when I click show tabs from other devices it will only show one or two of the tabs I have open on the other computer and ignore all the rest. No matter what I do I can only get it to show like google and facebook. Everything is still synced properly, bookmarks and all that jazz work fine. It's just the show tabs from other devices that isn't working, and that's the only feature I care about. If your suggestion is to make a new sync profile, don't bother responding, as that is not the problem or the solution.

    Hi tdkevin,
    This is strange you were not asked to try the new sync. As the old sync has the tab sync feature, but the new one has a new place for them. In order to move to the new sync you have to remove all the devices from the old sync and then it will allow you to set up the new one.
    In Firefox for Android
    In the new one in a new tab, tap on History, then on the bottom there are two icons: a clock and one with 4 grey squares. Tap that one and look at the recently synced tabs.
    In Firefox for Desktop
    if you have not set up the new sync the Tabs will sync every interval of time set by default in the about:config page. (search for sync interval I think). In the new one the about:accounts page will have a manage button that will take you to the preferences of sync. There you can check the Tabs tick.
    I hope this clears up the differences between the old and new. The original question though was why some tabs were syncing and others not. I do not know, we can look at about:sync-logs if you have any errors in those log files. This may help lead to some more info.

  • Sync does not show tabs from other devices

    I have two computers running Windows 8.1 and FF 26: at work, and at home. Both are synced, however, every time I want to see tabs on the other computer (History - Tabs from other devices) all I see is a blank tab. Sync settings on both are to sync everything (tabs option checked).
    Is this a bug, or is there anything else I need to do to see the remote tabs?

    Hi, yes, other items do sync (bookmarks from remote host show up instantly).

    As you can see, there are some potential authentication issues, but I don't understand why would it only affect tabs sync, while bookmarks are fine. Note also that I merged all the stuff to the sync account by Sync - Manage Account - Reset Sync - Merge data from this device browser into your Sync account.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Open tabs on other computers

    Dear sirs c.q. ladies,
    After setting up Sync on several computers, all using Firefox 4.01, I get a welcome screen stating;
    "Your open tabs are available under the History menu. You can also open them via the 'Tabs from Other Computers' option in the Tab List menu on your tab bar."
    However, I cannot find the "Tab List menu" on my tab bar. I would be grateful if you could direct me to it.
    Thanks, Jos

    Hi Joshout!
    The option you are looking for shows up when you click on the small arrow that you can find in the right top corner of your browser.
    I'm including an screenshot that should help you.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut for the open tabs on other computers?

    I know that you can click the arrow on the right of the tab bar to access the tabs from other computers, but is there a keyboard shortcut for it, or another way to access it?

    And then, you can switch groups by CTRL+` (grave accent, since my kb is portuguese, I have to do CTRL+ SHIFT + ´) or CTRL+~ (tilde)

  • Server can't see itself on network, other devices can

    When I create a Network user either using Server app or Workgroup manager home folder is not created. I started digging and I found that all devices on the network can see and access server's afp, but server can't see itself on network. On everyone's computer's "server" is shown inside finder, but if I open server's finder I can only see other's computers but I can't see server.
    I've tried opening afp://(IP ADDRESS), afp://(DOMAIN), afp://localhost and none of this work inside server. DNS is fine, users can log and see files, etc. The only thing not working is afp from within the server and therefore user's accounts can't be created.
    As a background I have a mac mini running under Mountain Lion with OS Server. I had an issue with Open Directory on which I couldn't edit/create/delete any user so I erased the OD Database and started over again.
    Any idea will be very appreciated.
    Thanks All !!!

    Thanks a lot for your quick response, I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly but if I use anything with afp.XXXX I get an error saying afp.XXXX.com not found (NXDOMAIN) but also I don't have any server named "afp".
    If I use it without "afp." I get:
    Using domain server:
    Name: 192.168.3.254
    Address: 192.168.3.254#53
    Aliases:
    (server).com has address 192.168.3.254
    or if I use 192.168.3.1 (main router) I get the public IP since everything is forwarded to that server (is the onlyone on the network).
    For checking DNS I used changeip -checkhostname and I get:
    Primary address     = 192.168.3.254
    Current HostName    = (server).com
    DNS HostName        = (server).com
    The names match. There is nothing to change.
    dirserv:success = "success"
    When I connect my clients to VPN I don't have any DNS issues.
    I also thought it was a DNS problem but FTP, Web, and everything else works within the server, within the network and for external networks, AFP is the onlything not working.
    Please let me know if you need any information, I really appreciate your help since this is anoying and I can't create folders for new users even if I use "createhomedir" command.
    Thanks!!

  • Firefox shows my phone twice in Tabs From Other Devices

    As you can see here: http://yannbane.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Screenshot-23.12.2013-150209.png, Firefox shows my Galaxy S 3 phone TWICE.
    Why does this happen?
    Can I reset it, to only show the device once?

    Yannbane,
    Please file a Bug report about that issue. I suspect that Sync is synchronizing some data twice to your desktop / laptop device.

  • I cannot find how to open tabs from other computers.

    Both of the computers have been set to sync tabs, and they seem to sync bookmarks and history fine. I am using Beta 4 Version 7.

    Never mind, despite the program saying that it is in the History submenu, it is in the Tabs menu. Also, it can be gotten to using "about:sync-tabs". (Minus quotes.)

  • HT204051 iphone5c i often lose wifi connection on 2 phones must reset to open. No other device connection problems just Iphone5  Why? How to correct?

    My two Iphone 5C disconnect from my wireless (wifi) router often.  Usually when changing from LTE network to wifi.  I must reset (turn off and on ) phone to regain wifi network.  All other dervices on wireless work great.  What is causing the problem and how to correct???

    Howdy Old rider,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
    If multiple iPhones are having the same issue where ithey are disconnecting from your Wi-Fi network, then I'd like you to please review the settings on your router to ensure they match with the information in the article below.

  • IPad won't share tabs or history with other devices

    The subject line refers to a problem I'm having with Safari on my iPad (3rd Gen., iOS 8.3) sharing its history and open tabs with Safari on my iPhone 4s (iOS 8.3), and Safari 8.03 on my iMac (Maverick).
    Using my iPad, I can see the history of what I've done using Safari on the iMac and iPhone but none of what I've done on the iPad. Naturally, what I've done on the iPad does not show up in History on the iMac or iPhone. Similarly, while I can see tabs currently open on the iMac and iPhone on any of the three devices, I can only see open tabs on the iPad *on* the iPad -- i.e., I can't see them on the iMac or iPhone.
    I'm logged into the same iCloud account on all three devices and Safari is switched "on" in the iCloud preferences. I restarted the iPad. I turned Safari "off" in iCloud prefs on the iPad. (When it asked what I wanted to do with Safari data synced with iCloud -- yeah, right -- I choose to keep it on the iPad. Then I turned it back "on" and no change on the iMac and iPhone.
    Any suggestions?

    Try changing your router channel. 
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) is also worth a try.
