"Sync encountered an error while connecting: Failed to connect to the server. Please try again."

"Sync encountered an error while connecting: Failed to connect to the server. Please try again." message has appeared on both my desktop (OS 10.6.8, FF 6.0.2) and laptop (same).
This error is not covered in your help documentation.
I have an active internet connection.
I have tried resetting the Sync on the laptop several times over the last few weeks.
Please advise.
Thanks

Hi!
It seems that you are not using the latest version of Firefox. Please, update and try again: http://www.mozilla.org/firefox

  • After updating to firefox 7.0.1, I get the error "Sync encountered an error while connectiong: Incorrect account name or password. Please try again."

    This was working just fine until the update. I did the reset password. It says it is reset, but when I exit firefox and restart, I get the same error. I've put in the new password and get the same error. This almost looks like my account was deleted from the sync server, but when i do the reset password, everything says it is ok. But Firefox keeps giving me this error.

  • There was an issue connecting to the server. please try again later. 124.

    I'm trying to publish a site withdreamweaver as one of the 5 sites I get with my CC account using business catalyst, but I get the following error message "There was an issue connecting to the server. Please try again later. 124." whenever i try and connect which doesnt really help.
    I'm logged in with the correct account in dreamweaver, and i have no issues publishing sites from muse using my CC account.

    Hi Pirmin87,
    There was a known brief outage a few days ago that could have resulted in this.

    However at the moment everything should be connecting fine.  If still an on-going issue please reach BC direct chat support for further investigation.

    Hi,
    Sometimes the server is not available and you can get an error like this one. Usually it works if you try to sync later. If this doesn't work, take a look to [https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/ this post] to learn how to report a bug.
    Let me know if this is helpful.

    Cannot connect to server. "Sync encountered an error while connecting: Failed to connect to the server."
    Help!
    This happened yesterday 1/20 after my daughter was in her e-mail account. Had trouble with the screen also.

    I started having this problem after the download of the new Firefox 5.0. No solutions posted have worked so far. FIPS is already disabled.

  • Sync encountered an error while connecting: Server incorrectly configured

    I have started getting the following message for some reason. No one has been able to answer it on the user forums. Can you help please? "Sync encountered an error while connecting: Server incorrectly configured. Please try again"

    same thing, started today. i have pasted my sync-log here. my username has been changed from my real username to "username". i noticed the URL in the log. nslookup returns Non-authoritative answer:
    Name: sync-rr.phx.services.mozilla.com
    Addresses: 63.245.217.208
    63.245.217.207
    Aliases: phx-sync038.services.mozilla.com and i am able to surf to the page. it asks me for a username and password, in which i put my sync username & password. it seems to take the login/pass just fine but no page is served - it just sits on loading forever.

    When I started up my computer this morning, a warning popped up saying: ! Sync encountered an error while connecting: Unknown error. Please try again.
    Why do I need to set up Sync on Firefox when I only use this one computer and do not even have a cell phone?

    If you do not want to use Firefox Sync any more, you can deactivate it. See instructions here: [[How do I manage my Firefox Sync account?]]

  • When the system status says icloud is OK but it reports "encountered an error when connecting to the server", where do you report the problem, or how do you connect?

    When the system status says icloud is OK but logon reports "encountered an error when connecting to the server", where do you report the problem, or how do you connect?

    Yes i am hoping staff here will look into things, even if i can not get the speeds back what i previously had for near 6 months it would be nice to know why i can not and why the download has dropped by around 10Mb and why my upload is now inconsistant.
    Ironically the post concerned got edited because i actually posted the full rather silly reply the Indian call centre made babbling on about down rates rather than the uprate i queried with them.
    Bit of a shambles really no real way on BTs web site to contact anyone with regards to broadband issues.
    The form which you kindly suggested and i appreciated your help ended up in the hands of someone who either did not bother to read the query or just had such a poor grasp of English they did not understand the query.
    Pretty pathetic really when BT are the largest telco in the UK. I think ill be taking my broadband business elsewhere regardless at the end of my 18 month contract, while im sure staff here are wonderful and may even yet help me, i do not particularly want to go through the almost like pulling teeth pain of getting any future issue looked at.
    They are great at quickly fixing voice line problems and have a great test on their site. Broadband side of things and support for that though seems a shambles.

  • Unable to connect to the internet please try again later

    I have a blackberry torch 9800, I don't have a data plan. I use a wifi signal with other phones, but my blackberry doesn't allow me to browse or view apps online.  The error "unable to connect to the internet please try again later" appears.  The phone has a clear signal of the wifi, i've tried various other hotspots, my other phones work perfectly.  The blackberry says it's connected to the wifi, but no internet browsing is possible.  What else can I do other than rip the battery out to re-boot?

    well that sux, are there any alternatives?

  • "Unable to connect to the internet, please try again" wifi issue

    I recently recieved my blackberry storm in the mail excited to use the wifi. I set it up including entering the correct security code a number of time for the "wep" security options and it recognizes the network. I believe it's connecting also, but when I open my browser the message of "Unable to connect to the internet,please try again." pops up. I have a verizon account with a data plan, but due to not wanting to use up my data plan I switched it off as only to rely on my wifi. What can I do? I've updated everything and tried so many things. Our wifi has never done this to any other device. PLEASE HELP!

    in the browser, go to the options and setthe default browser as "Hotspot browser" instead of "Internet Browser".
    The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

  • Sync encountered an error while connecting: Server incorrectly configured. Please try again.

    I have tried to do a clean install but it fails to resolve the above output message. Therefore I am now attaching my debug information to this forum hoping someone can help me in finding a solution to my problem. This error message will keep popping up for a good 10 minutes before it disappears. Is there anything wrong with the connection to the server? Thanks in advance.
