Sync keeps losing account info/connection:

I started sync in ffv7. It lost all settings (ID, password, & key) in move to v8. But still loses without further upgrade after re-instating sync. How can I fix?
Also, if all sync account info is lost on main PC, what's the procedure to re-instate?

Hi,
As Richard mentions, you may want to review your Privacy settings: [[Options window - Privacy panel]]
Almost every case similar to yours is because of a too aggressive Privacy setting where you reset your passwords at the end of each session. You can use Custom settings and make sure that your passwords are saved. After all, if you want to sync them, you want to store them.

  • When trying to download ITunes rel 10, I keep losing my intenet connection

    When trying to update and download ITunes release 10, I keep losing my internet connection - message I keep getting is "There might be a problem with the driver for the Local Adaptor Connection adaptor".
    I keep restoring my PC to a previous point which gets me back my internet but now have lost all access to Itunes ( version 9 ). I have alos tried uninstalling all Itunes products but the internet connection
    failed during this sequence as well.
    I've never had any issues with upgrading Itunes before. Can someone PLEASE help
    me through this. Thank you.

    You won't see anything obviously related to iCloud, Jimmy. But if you go to the home iTunes Store page while logged into your iTunes Store account, you should see a Purchases link now under the Quick Links header. That's the only part of iCloud active at this time.

  • I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

    That's not the correct port. It should be 993 for incoming.
    If you signed into iCloud from the System Preferences, it should automatically create the iCloud account for you in Mail. Sounds like it is an account you already had set up for MMe in Mail.
    Open Mail preferences, open the Accounts tab, disable that account in the advanced pane.
    Open Sys Prefs, open the iCloud tab, and sign out of iCloud. Then sign back in and see if a new iCloud account is automatically created.

  • I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago.  I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2).  I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on.  Very annoying.   Suggestions please?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago.  I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2).  I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on.  Very annoying.   Suggestions please?

    What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band?  Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
    The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
    Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
    If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on.

  • Satelite C660 keeps losing its wireless connection

    Hi
    We have bought the above laptop for our son for christmas and it keeps losing its wireless connection, we also have a Satelite L450 which is running fine (not losing internet connection) we have been onto our broadband supplier they have told us that as the wireless connection on our other laptop is fine, it is something to do with the C660, one of the drivers needs an update, unfortuneately I have forgotten the driver name but it is something to do with the modem, Our son is desperate to use his laptop.
    Can anyone help?

    Had the same problem but with a different Satellite model - the signal was fine on another laptop in the room - the problem was the power management option / power plan - the link below says it all but in short if it is on balanced the default option the default means that it tells the router to go into a power save mode that it might not support.

Not sure why it happens or what's goinng on with It. Works great and then sudden wifi failure to recognize.

  • My Net900 keeps losing wired Ethernet Connection after windows 10 upgrade

    Since I updated to windows 10, my router keeps losing the wired connection. WiFi is working fine, but I have to reset the router constantly to get wired connection working.  Any suggestions?

     
    Hello, 
    That's weird. I'm experiencing issues with the wireless on my laptop after updating to windows 10.
    Do you have any other device that you can check the wired connection? I would like to check if this is a specific issue with Windows 10 or is the router it self with any device using a wired connection.

  • My iMac G5 keeps losing its WiFi Connection

    I have 3 macs working off my wireless router.  Two out of three are still working fine, but the third (an iMac G5) keeps losing its network connection and either won't find the network or, if it does, will not allow me to rejoin it, even after entering the relevant key/password. It has been in the same location in my house and has worked fine for the last five years.  But oddly, if I move the G5 to within a few feet of the router it starts working again (though sometimes seems unable to find the network, although when it does it will let me join it, hassle free).
    Have spoken to some Apple guys and, following their advice, have gone into SYSTEM PREFERENCES, NETWORK, LOCATION but having got that far a pop-up appears telling me that an application has changed my network settings.  Zapping OK, this dialog box just keeps re-appearing and the only way I can get out of this corner is by 'force quit'.
    Can you help?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Because of a "feature" in the Security Update 2008-006 for OS X 10.4.11, sometimes 10.4 systems repeatedly display the message "Your network settings have been changed by another application." This message is sometimes accompanied by dropous in wireless connectivity. This issue went away with 10.5 or later.
    The potential fix is as follows:
    Delete the following files from Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    NetworkInterfaces.plist
    preferences.plist
    com.apple.nat.plist
    then restart. Before doing this and deleting these files, be sure to write down the names and passwords required to log in to your router as all these settings will be lost and will have to be re-entered.

  • Mac Mail losing account info

    Hi,
    Every once in a while, and I don't know why, MacMail just loses my account info.
    For example, everything was perfect (even this morning) until I came back from lunch today. I opened up Mail and just got the spinning wheel next to my account name and then the circle with the triangle & exclamation point inside. Doesn't show any errors at all. Just no incoming email. This account is for an account on my web host, not gmail or yahoo mail or other webmail thing.
    Also, for another account I also get the spinning wheel and then I get a message that says "The POP server "pop.sbcglobal.net" rejected the password...." This also used to work fine and I don't know why it would suddenly lose the account info.
    The first problem is more of an issue for me because I don't get any message that tells me what's wrong.
    Any help is appreciate.
    Rob

    MacMail just loses my account info.
    Mail is not losing your account info; it's just unable to establish a connection to the mail server for some reason. Happens all the time, around the world, so it's nothing to worry about. It should correct itself on the next attempt.

  • After the 2015-002 update to Mavericks, I keep losing wi-fi connection with my Macbook Pro.

    After the 2015-002 security update to Mavericks, I keep losing my wi-fi connection with my Macbook Pro. My Kindle Fire stays connected, so I'm assuming the problem is connected to the update. I have to be right next to the router, or sometimes the next room, to stay connected. Sometimes it stays connected for a few hours, no matter where I'm at in the house, then all of sudden it won't. Haven't found a rhyme or reason to it at all. Can anyone help me?
