Unknown error when trying to set up Firefox Sync

I try to set up Firefox Sync but as I fill in my e-mail address on the first line i first get the message "invalide e-mail account" (or similar) but then when I continue to complete it with [email protected] it just says "unknown error". I have tried several different e-mail addresses on two different computers but the same annoying unknown error message keeps coming up.
What am I supposed to do about that?

  • Unknown error when trying to set up aol mail

    AOL just stopped working as of 10am today!  I sent mails this morning and now I cannot get AOL to work.  I deleted the account and tried to set up AOL Mail again and I keep getting an "Unknown Error" message!  HELP......

    Hey there jsmugs,
    It sounds like your AOL account is not working in your account, and you also cannot set it back up. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage, follow these troubleshooting steps.Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
    Try a different Wi-Fi connection
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Delete the affected email account from your device.
    Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
    Add your account again.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    I keep getting an unknown error when trying to connect to the store. I ran diagnostics and it says secure link to itunes store failed. I've tried all suggestions from apple and nothing will work.
    Please Help

    I received this email from Apple and this corrected the problem for me...  I only had to reset the iTunes cache
    1) Open iTunes
    2) At the top menu, click File > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac)
    3) In the Preferences menu, click the Advanced tab
    4) In the Advanced menu, you should see a button that says "Reset Cache". Please click this button.

  • Get an error unknown error when trying to access app store

    I get an unknown error when trying to access app store on my iphone 4...I have turned it off and on, updated the software, etc.  I have never been able to sign in.

    You could add your contacts in one by one  (or a few at a time) on whatever you are syncing with (Google, MS, etc.) and try and catch which contact is causing problems when you sync.

  • When trying to set up automatic  syncing , on my iPod Nano, I get a notice that I am synced to another unknown computer.  How do I get unsynced from this other computer ? Have I been hacked ?

    When trying to set up automatic  syncing , on my iPod Nano, I get a notice that I am synced to another unknown computer.  How do I get unsynced from this other computer ? Have I been hacked ?

    Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting.  A phone can only sync with one library at a time.  You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced.  To know which you will have to provide the information.
    If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

  • Google Apps account now showing Unknown Error when trying to sign in

    This is a post I made over at webosnation.com, but no one knows what's going on over there (but a handful of people are having the same problem).
    For some reason my main email account has decided to fly off a cliff on both my FrankenPre2 and my TouchPad. The things I've tried from searching around the net:
    -Changing my password
    -Making sure the new password does NOT use any special characters
    -Removing the account from my Pre and re-adding it
    -Disabling multiple sign-on from the Google side (I had it linked to the account I use for Google Voice)
    -Removing all patches from my Pre
    None of these things have had any effect. When I put a wrong password in it comes back with an invalid password error. The correct password bring back an Unknown Error.
    The funny thing is I have a 2nd Google Apps account set up on both devices for work, and that hasn't had any problems.  What makes this even weirder is my friend who owns the Google Apps domain I'm on has a TouchPad with his account set up on it and it works fine. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Aaaaaaaand we're back up and running.

  • TS4526 Unknown error when trying to play video from netflix or HBO go.

    When I try to play a video from Netflix or HBO go it attempts to load and says unknown error please try again later.  I've been trying this for several days.  I logged out then logged back in with no change.  It seems to play the other apps okay.  I've only had the apple tv for a couple months and the software is up to date.

    Had the same issue and found this information.  Just tested and it worked for me. Hopfully helps some else also!
    Answer: Change your DNS setting in the iPhone/iPad Wi-Fi settings.
    That worked for me. My original DNS settings were assigned by my WIFI router a. I removed these and placed in: 208.67.222.222 (Open DNS server IP)
    To make this adjustment go to Wi-Fi, locate your selected Wi-Fi network and click the blue arrow beside it to being up advanced settings, click in the DNS area to change it.

  • TS1702 I am getting an unknown error when trying to update or purchase apps from the apps store. This is new, after the new OS update. Help

    Hi, I get this unknown error message, twice when trying to update or purchase new apps. It was working fine, then just stopped. I changed my password, but that hasn't worked. Help!

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    1. Settings>Store>Apple ID.
    2. Tap your ID and sign out.
    3. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off.
    4. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to download again.

  • I keep getting the error:  "lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error" when trying to import from a catalog?

    I have around 400,000 photos of 15 years so given the high number, I organized all my photos into 6 catalogs to avoid potential problems. All the photos and the catalogs are in a 4TB Seagate external hard drive. I use Adobe Lightroom 5 and I use a PC with the latest Windows Office 2013.
    I wanted to have a NEW Catalog of all my rated 1 Star+ photos of all the years in a single Catalog. So I created what I called Star+ Catalog and I was told the best option is to import a Catalog at a time and given that there is no means to filter importing only Stared photos, I would import all the photos and then delete all the UnStared photos. I did that for Catalog Year 2014 but at the end gave me the message: "lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error". It actually had imported around 40k photos from about 50k total. I tried again and again and every time I end up with the same thing. I created another new Catalog and stared from scratch and the same ting happened: the ONLY EXACT 40k or so photos were imported and the rest were not!! When I imported Catalog Year 2013 of around 45k photos, it worked perfectly. But when I imported Catalog Year 2012 of 35k photos, the same thing happened!! 
    I then tried exporting the needed photos to a new Catalog and that worked.  But then when I try to import them again from my Master *+ Catalog I get the same error again!!
    I also tried creating a new Master *+ Catalog and tried to import the Catalogs of each year into it and the same error happened again!!!
    Any advice: 1) on how to solve this? and 2) if there is a better and easier way to create this Master Catalog of All Stared Photos of All my Catalogs?

  • Why do I keep getting an unknown error when trying to download an app from the app store on my iPod touch 4th generation when I put in the correct password?

    I keep getting the same unknown error has occurred when trying to download an app what is wrong?

    as an example.. from the sprint forum for a different device (unsure what device.. it's just not an iphone since no iphone or ios device has these settings -- ive seen this advice several times and I believe it's some form of android.. but not sure)
    advice from the carrier advisor --
    "Clear data in the Dialer and Dialer storage.... under manage Applications> All.
    That is Settings - Applications - Choose All to view All choices - then find Dialer and clear the Data. Repeat this for the Dialer Storage as well. I personally also deleted the message thread first from the text message window and my log history which is a menu item from your call screen."
    and another for you from a customer -- it is sprint again.. but this time a Samsung Epic
    "OMG ... if someone can't tell me how to fix this "9230: Message sent using invalid number of digits..." error, I'm going to scream.  My husband and I both have Sprint Epic phones and love them EXCEPT for this one problem! Help!"
    Maybe they should sue Samsung?
