Sync does not work (or work not as one would expect)

I have synced all my bookmarks and passwords to mozilla sync then I reinstalled windows on my pc. I installed FF, connected to my FF account but not a single thing was synced to my computer again. I would expect it to sync back all my stuff however it is not happening.
Is my information lost forever? How do I recover it back?

The Sync Key (aka Recovery Key) was used in Firefox 28 and earlier versions as the 3rd "key" for security purposes, that being encryption / decryption of user data.
With Firefox 29 the user only needs their email address (account name) and their Password to use Sync. The 3rd "key" is now extrapolated from the Password and is a hidden implementation, not user facing as before.
Sync is intended to be used to synchronize Firefox user data between multiple devices. When a user would find it necessary to format a drive or a drive fails, and the user would need to reinstall all their software, the expectation is that their data would still be on one of their devices.

  • Safari, at times does not load images on webpages, is very slow, or doesn't work at all. Rarely does it operate as one would expect.

    iMac 27" 2009 intel core 4 gigs of ram, 1tb HD, Current operating system. 2 user accounts, myself, my fiancee's. Each with iPhones so each setup to utilize iCloud. I have disabled 3rd party plug-ins once with only short-term effects. There are other issues with the computers performance and I have spoken to apple support regarding them multiple times. Some include iCloud not syncing properly to the iMac (though it does to phone and online), Finder windows getting "lost" between "digital desktops". Desktop image not syncing across all "digital desktops". iTunes often has issues with syncing with and playing from my iTunesMatch account.
    Safari's issues include it not loading any images on a website, when trying to load a new page by typing a search in the the url it won't even begin to load a page, sometimes it is very slow to load a page, a lot of time it will spend 5+ minutes "attempting" or not even visually attempting to load a webpage without warning the page can't be found, and then of course there are the "page can't be found" warnings as well.
    Very much thanks in advance,

  • Im runining windows 7 trying to upgrade to itunes11.02 but get error message that the file is not on a network - im not prepared to reload 5000 cd tracks   would expect better service from apple can you help

    please help

    Many thanks.
    the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable
    click ok to try again or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package itunes64.msi in the box below 
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • ResetActionListener does not appear to work for sub regions

    I have input fields that are contained within a region. Outside of this region is my Cancel button which contains the af:resetActionListener tag. When pressing Cancel, input fields outside of the region reset as I expect them to, however, input fields contained within the region do not reset at all. Does the resetActionListener behave this way by design, or was it not designed to handle this case?

    I appreciate the response, however, partialTriggers are not the issue here. I already have a panelGroupLayout, which contains the input fields, as a partial target of the cancel button, and have confirmed that the fields are getting refreshed (by using an outputText which fetches the current time). I believe this is an issue with the resetActionListener's ability to reach input fields contained within a region. Placing a resetActionListener on a cancel button within the region resets the fields as one would expect, however, I need to have the cancel button outside of the region. Here is an idea of the code structure which is not working to reset the input fields with an resetActionListener:
    <af:commandButton text="cancel" id="formCancel"
    actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.myBean.cancelActionListener}"
    partialSubmit="true" immediate="true">
    <af:resetActionListener/>
    </af:commandButton>
    <af:region value="#{bindings.mypagdef.regionModel}"
    partialTriggers="::formCancel"/>
    And it's in this region that my input fields, which are not getting reset, exist. I have stripped out several panel form, group, and stretch layouts, and a template usage to simplify the example code structure, but I don't believe those have anything to do with the problem.

  • Location of iPhone sync data files or How to not have to re-install all my iPhone apps?

    Hi Folks,
    I recently did a clean install of Lion on my MacBook Pro and I've chosen to not use Migration Assistant because I don't want to move over a bunch of cruft under my 4+ year old home directory (Tiger > Leopard > SL).  I've been very selective about the things I've moved over and all has gone well until I want to sync my iPhone.  I've transferred purchases from the iPhone but if I check Sync Apps, iTunes wants to wipe and re-install everything!  This wouldn't be a problem, except the time it would take to re-organize all my apps on the iPhone again.   (Side note: Please Apple, give us an "auto-organize" button for apps!)
    Any idea how to move over my old sync data files to avoid having to nuke/reinstall my iPhone's apps?  Or is there another option to preserve how my apps are organizated?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Rob

    Setting it up as new will not put anything over, then when you sync it will sync the applications over and it will sync the applications over Un organized.  My advised should resolve the issue, I work for technical support for the iPhone's, iPad, and iPod Touchs for Apple...
    Right Click the iPhone and click Transfer Purchases and then do the backup and restore from backup... That will transfer all your applications over to your computer and then organize them properly in their folders...
    OK, that does make sense so I won't bother setting it up as a new phone.
    Quick follow up question though, do I need to click the Sync Apps check box before I do a restore?  The reason I ask is that I've done a transfer purchases/backup/restore cycle but all the tabs (Apps, Music, Movies, etc.) do not have the sync check box checked following the restore as I would expect.  And when I go check the Sync Apps check box that's when it warns me "Are you sure you want to sync apps?  All existing apps and their data on the iPhone will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."  That's when the apps then become unorganized.
    Thanks so much for your continued help!

  • How does Azure Compute Emulator (or the Azure one) determine if a role is web project or something else ("The Web Role in question doesn't seem to be a web application type project")?

    I'm not sure if this is F# specific or something else, but what could cause the following error message when trying to debug locally an Azure cloud service:
    The Web Role in question doesn't seem to be a web application type project.
    I added an empty F# web api Project to a solution (which adds Global.asax etc., I added an OWIN startup class Startup etc.) and then from an existing
    cloud service project I picked Roles and
    chose Add
    -> Web Role Project in solution, which finds the F# web project (its project type guids are 349C5851-65DF-11DA-9384-00065B846F21 and F2A71F9B-5D33-465A-A702-920D77279786),
    of which the first one seem to be exactly the GUID that defines a web application type.
    However, when I try to start the cloud project locally, I get the aforementioned error message. I have a C# Web Role project that will start when I remove the F# project. I also have F# worker
    role projects that start with the C# web role project if I remove this F# web role project. If I set the F# web project as a startup project,
    it starts and runs as one would expect, normally.
    Now, it makes me wonder if this is something with F# or could this error message appears in C# too, but I didn't find anything on Google. What kind of checks are there when starting the emulator and which one needs
    failing to prompt the aforementioned message? Can anyone shed light into this?
    Sudet ulvovat -- karavaani kulkee

    Sudet,
    Yeah you are right, the GUID mentioned seems to be correct and the first one i.e. {349C5851-65DF-11DA-9384-00065B846F21} means the web application project which compute emulator uses to determine while spawning up role instances.
    You might want to compare the csproj of your C# and F# web projects which might give some pointers.
    Are you able to run your F# web project locally in IIS? If yes then you will definitely be able to run it on azure so I will recommend to test it in IIS Express first.
    Here are some other tips which you can refer or see If you are yet to do those settings
    1. Turn on the IIS Express - You can do it by navigating to project properties
    2. Install Dependent ASP.NET NuGets / Web Api dependencies (If there are any missing), Reference System.Web assembly
    Also I will suggest to refer this nice article about how to create a F# web Api project
    http://blog.ploeh.dk/2013/08/23/how-to-create-a-pure-f-aspnet-web-api-project/
    Hope this helps you.

  • I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

    I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

  • 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.

  • Why are my tags not syncing for a shared email account? IE One person tags an email as "Work" but it does not show on other users Thunderbird.

    Subject says it all for the most part.
    A shared email account we'll call "[email protected]" is not syncing tags across other end users Thunderbird. User A will tag an email as Work but it will not sync/show on anyone else's application. I've read that Thunderbird stores tags locally now? Is there a way to sync them up to our IMAP server? Or would we have to revert to a previous version of Thunderbird (if so which)?
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    the issue is probably that the server does not support tags..... Thunderbird stores them locally, but syncs them were the server supports it.

  • IPhone4 MS Outlook 2010 Sync - DOES NOT WORK

    Syncing between MS Outlook and iPhone4 Contacts and Calendars does not work. Is there a fix for this? Music and videos sync, but anything related to MS Outlook 2010 does not.
    Help! Any fixes or suggestions. I want to keep my iPhone4 and not toss it.
    Computer OS: Windows 7 64 bit, MS Office 2010 Ver: 14.0.5128.5000 (32-bit. iPhone4 Version: 4.3.1 (8G4).

    My life and contacts are in the hands of MS Outlook 2010. I need to get a new smart phone that will sync with Outlook. I was shocked to see that Windows Phones running Windows Mobile 7 and having the latest version of MS Office Mobile WILL NOT sync contacts with MS Office Outlook 2010 running on one's PC. There is a very limited work around using a Hotmail account, but it will only work with a relatively small number of contacts (I have 3,500!).
    To what extent does the iPhone 4 sync using the procedure you outlined above? Does it sync 100% of all info in your MS Outlook contacts? For example, does it sync "Categories" and "Groups" information? Also, does the sync work both ways? I.e, does a new or updated contact in one device update the other, regardless of whether the change was originally entered into the iPhone 4 or the computer on which one has MS Outlook 2010?
    Thanks

  • 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.
