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).
Here's the log from the home computer (I'm trying to copy the tabs from this computer to my work computer):

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!

  • 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.

  • I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts

    I can't synch my iPhone with iTunes because the device does not show up in a device window when I plug it in...it's missing in action and thus I'm not able to add any content from the iTunes to my iPhone, e.g. podcasts.   All the instructions on synching start with "find your device in the device window".  But what if you have no device window?

    Missing "message" from above: The iPad "DGMTR" is synced with another iTunes library on DGMTR's MacBook Pro. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library? An iPad can be synched with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iTunes library.
    I thought the libraries were the same.

  • 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. 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 cannot get my old ipod shuffle to sync because it does not show up in my devices list!!! I have tried letting it die and then plugging it in and still no success!! HELP!!!

    To sync via wifi you first have to connect to computer via USB and check the box in the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes that sync via wifi.
    Note you can only sync with one computer. If you change syncing computers you have to restore the iPod on the second computer.

  • Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

    My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.  I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case.  My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine.  I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list.  Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading.  I'm at a loss.  Please help.  Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices?  We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot...  have I run out of rope?

    hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
    ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
    This week i was determined to get it to work!  So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
    ...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr   this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
    Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1  owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV  GERNERATION 1!..yes we do  still exist!
    at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie  using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work,  however it did sync/send the movie to itunes..  so at least i could save a back up copy.
    good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

  • 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.
