Sync does not retain account information

I set up my sync account as per the instructions. It worked fine, but then it disappeared. Now when I go to "options" then "sync" it is as if I never set it up and there are no options there except to set up sync. If I click on that, it prompts me to enter my account information, but then wants me to add it to a device, but its the first device I added sync to. It doesn't seem to work even though I set it up already.

Make sure that your privacy settings are not deleting the passwords when closing the browser. This is the most common reason why the behavior you are seeing happens.
Take a look to this article: [[Options window - Privacy panel]]
You should either Remember History or set up a Custom setting mode that keeps your passwords.

  • Hotsync Log does not show any information since August 2008. My Treo 755p has been syncing fine but nothing shows in the log!

    I just noticed that when I am done syncing, the Hotsync Log does not have any information about the most recent operation.  In fact the date of the last entry in the Log is August!  Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix this?
    Thanks.

    Now I know I've lost it--I'm replying to myself!  Would you smart tech people please take a look at what I found and see if it means anything.  Thanks!
    Two more clues:
    1) I was searching the Palm Knowledgebase and found out where the HotSync Log file is.  When I open the file, using Explorer, this message pops up: 'To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this web page from running scripts or ActiveX Controls that could access your computer.  Click here to...'  If I allow it to run, the screen blinks but nothing seems to change.  If I close the Log file and reopen it, it happens again.  How can I stop this from happening to the file?  Could this be the problem?
    2) The Knowledgebase Article below tells how to create a new 'fake' log file to 'fool' the HotSync Manager.  So I renamed the original log file, then created the new file as instructed.  Then I did a HotSync.  After the HotSync completed successfully, I opened the HotSync Manager and there is my new 'fake' log file that has only the words I typed into it when I created the file. Nothing in the Log about the operation at all! 
    Article ID: 38959   What does the error that ends with 'HotSync.log is missing' mean and how do I fix it?
    The HotSync Manager is very particular: if it doesn't find things exactly as it expects, it won't work. One of the things it has to find in the right place is the HotSync log, a file where the HotSync manager records everything it does. See How can the HotSync log help me to troubleshoot HotSync problems? for more information about this file.
    When you get this error, your HotSync Manager can't find the HotSync Log. This prevents you from performing a HotSync operation. Luckily, the HotSync Manager isn't too bright. Give it any file called HotSync.log and it will be happy again.
    The easiest way to give it what it expects is to create a new text document, rename it, and put it in the folder where the HotSync Manager expects to find it. Here's how:
    Launch the Windows Notepad. You can usually get to it by clicking on the Start Menu, choosing Programs, then Accessories and finally Notepad.
    Type some text. You can type anything you want, as long as there's at least one character in the Notepad document.
    From the File menu, choose Save As.
    In the Save dialog, navigate to your user folder in the Palm or Handspring folder (find your user folder).
    Name the document HotSync and click Save.
    Launch Windows Explorer. You can get to it by double clicking on My Computer or by clicking on the Start Menu, choosing Programs and then Windows Explorer.
    From the Tools menu, choose Folder Options.
    Click on the View tab.
    Uncheck the box next to Hide file extensions for known file types.
    Navigate to your user folder.
    Right-click once on the HotSync.txt document, and select "Rename" from the menu. Rename the file HotSync.log
    Attempt another HotSync operation. If you still get the "HotSync.log is missing" message, contact Handspring.

    I am not able to login to my facebook account and error message reads "This web site does not supply ownership information." Please help
    only title bar opens and nothing else....please help

    Normally, when you connect via http, the browser doesn't check for site identity, so I don't understand what's happening there.
    Do you have any security-related add-ons that force popular sites to use a secure connection, or claim to provide anonymous browsing?
    Were you making the connection on your own network or on a public network (e.g., school, coffee shop)? If it was a public network, maybe the error indicates that your traffic was being intercepted???
    Without hands on, this is a tough one to diagnose.

  • Sync does not sync my passwords - EVER

    i started using sync now since foxmarks went down and have a few observations:
    bookmarks sync - that feature is very, very slow. sync happens in minutes and sometimes not complete and I have to manual start sync numerous times until everything has been syncd
    passwords sync - does not happen, EVER, none of my passwords are syncd.
    that addon is not very good, I can't even make backups or see the contents of my sync folder online. There should be a way to save all your data so you can import it when you reinstall. having to rely on a slow and buggy sync is not good.

    1. Xmarks replaced Foxmarks a few years ago, when they added other browsers beyond Firefox to their service. Xmarks hasn't shut down yet, that was planned for early January 2011. That may not even happen - UPDATE: Xmarks Sync NOT Dead Yet - http://www.xmarks.com/about/shutdown
    <br />
    2. In Sync preferences there are 5 items to select for what type of data is sync'd. '''Firefox will: Sync everything''' is the default setting. Any chance you changed a setting there?<br />
    3. "not very good" - in your opinion. Sync wasn't created to mimic other services, like Xmarks. The developers included the features that they think are important and are trying to keep it uncomplicated as they can. Being able to view your data on the Sync server would have greatly complicated the encryption of your data and the retrieval of that data from the server. Unlike Xmarks, your Firefox Sync data is encrypted as it leaves your PC and then unencrypted when it is downloaded to Firefox or Firefox Home on another device. Your "Sync Key" is only good in Firefox, so your data can only be read in Firefox - no one else has access to your data in an unencrypted format.<br />
    4. To recover your data from the Sync server, you either install the Sync extension on Firefox 3.6 or install Firefox 4 which includes Sync (once it is released) and you setup your account information on the new installation. You then sync the new installation with the data that is on the server.<br />
    5. As far as speed of the sync goes, while the initial sync might take 30 to 45 minutes, subsequent syncing is done very quickly depending upon the differences in your data between the device and the server.

  • Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes allways crash and stuck i made some troubleshoots like reinstall again but nothing and my itunes is update and the system is windows vista home premium.Please help me...

    Syncronizing my 3gs with itunes the sync does not finish because itunes always crash and stuck and i can not sync my device, i dont no whats wrong because the itunes even can not  acess itunes store, still loading waiting for itunes store and nothing.I tryed reinstall itunes but just waste of time.
    My itunes is update, iphone 3gs 4.3.4, system is windows vista home premium.
    Please help me.

    I also have the Mcaffe security centre so on the face of it we have very similar situations and I had not problems.
    You asked what I meant about saving the installer on your PC.
    When you go to the iTunes download page:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    And click on download, you should be offered the choice of running the installer or saving it. You need to click on save and then choose a folder on you PC where you want it saved. But I think you already did that.
    After the installer file - iTunessetup.exe - is save on your computer, you double click on it to run it.
    It's very odd that the installer fails at different stages. usually when the installation fails, it is at a specific stage and usually generates an error message.
    I am afraid I am mystified. Have you had any other problems with your PC which might suggest a general problem not specific to iTunes?
    The only other suggestion I have is to download a fresh copy of the installer - in case it got corrupted. You could also try using "run as administrator" to run the installer. It should be an option if you right click on the installer file.
    The other thing it might be worth trying is to install it from another account, but you would need to create another administrator account if you don't a;ready have one. Or if you have another account that is not an admin account, you can temporarily promote it from the control panel>>User accounts.

  • Scroll bar does not retain its position after or before pack

    Hi
    My Scroll bar does not retain its position after pack in my application.
    But i need to retain its state.
    My code snippet is :
    System.out.println("VAlue--->" + getHXValue());
    scrollPane.getHorizontalScrollBar().setValue(getHXValue());
    pack();
    My VAlue printed is 100.
    But my positon of scroll bar is at 0 th location.
    Can any one help me.....

    Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
    My code snippet is :Snippets don't help.
    If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)",
    see http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html,
    that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
    Don't forget to use the "Code Formatting Tags",
    see http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting,
    so the posted code retains its original formatting.

  • Sync does not work- multiple desktop FF

    Sync does not allow adding more than one DESKTOP FF in order to sync multiple desktop FF (e.g: work, home, & friends , etc..)
    I do not like to use an add-on.

    Sync doesn't care about the type of device (desktop vs laptop vs phone) when trying to add a new device to a Sync account. Please explain what you want to do with Sync with a little more detail.

  • Bravia Sync does not work with Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B and BDV-N8100W Bluray 3D Home Theatre System.

    Bravia Sync does not function with my Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B and Sony BDV-N8100W Bluray 3D Home Theatre System.  The Sony Bravia XBR-55X900B does not list the Sony BDV-N8100W on the Bravia Sync device list.  Does anyone have an explanation or solution for this?

    Please use a component cable.  With either RCA or optical for audio.  That is the quickest fix.  For current HDMI issues. 
    1.7 upgrade has been known to fix most of the HDMI issues.  Verizon is working diligently to roll out img 1.7.

  • Firefox 29.0.1 Does Not Retain Options Settings. Cookies Enabled.

    On only one of my XP profiles, Firefox 29.0.1 does not retain the settings made under tools-options. I have deleted the cookies from Mozilla on the chance they may have been corrupted and have also cleared the web cache. The problem remains. Also, it is not clear in the new version how to have Firefox ask you each time before a cookie is accepted. Thanks for you help.

    You can try to delete the cookies.sqlite and permissions.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Director: Show Folder (Linux: Open Director; Mac: Show in Finder)
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    You can inspect and manage the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
    * Click the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location bar
    * Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
    * Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab

    Hi  VlH,
    According to your description, the issue can be caused by the Profile or Profile Values table.
    You can check the event log and ULS log to see detail error message.
    To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
