Unknown Sync Error

Not sure why this just started happening after Sync working fine since Mozilla changed the system months ago. Here's my log:

Can somebody tell me what to do to stop getting error messages at the bottom of my FF screen?

hello, this is currently an ongoing server issue that is investigated by mozilla. there is nothing you can change on your end to address that...

From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software, play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

Unknown sync error -- Tried everything (?)

I've recently switched from Chrome to Firefox to try and get as far away from Google as possible. There, I never had any issues with syncing across devices and platforms.
On my Windows desktop, syncing never fails. On my MacBook Air, it always says, along the bottom of the window, that an unknown error has occurred.
I did have the Keychain Services Integration add-on installed, but removed it because I thought that that might be why. Still, I get an unknown error. I removed *every* Firefox-related file on my MBA and got everything going again (minus that add-on), and it still throws an error. I also tried deleting the profile and creating a new one, resulting in the same error. Lastly, I tried the PlacesCleaner add-on, also with the same results.
I'd attach a sync log, but it seems like some of what's in it might be private.
Any ideas?

You could '''Unlink''' that MBA from Sync, then restart Firefox on the MBA and then re-connect to your Sync account, to see if that helps.
There's no private information in Sync error logs, but most of those logs contain more characters that these "Post a Reply" boxes can handle and the formatting might not carry thru when posted.
In the second column of the Error log look thru the '''Sync.Status''' items for the first listed ERROR; subsequent ERROR listings might be of interest. Also, any '''Sync.ErrorHandler''' lines might have information we can use.

I had the "unknown syncing error" for so long with no improvement that I finally uninstalled Firefox sync--but I'm STILL getting the error all day long!!!!

Running Firefox 4.0, was running Sync 1.7 on a Windows XP machine. Became so frustrated with the constant error message at the bottom of my screen (Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action.) that I uninstalled Sync. However, after multiple Ff restarts the error message continues to appear.
I noted that at least 10 other people had posted this as a problem in the forums but didn't see any solutions.
Can you help?

I know the last reply was from a couple weeks ago, but honestly, I haven't been able to find anything else in the last week of searching Google. I'm new to the MDT process but I'm having the same issue with what you posted. I can shift-F10 during the "Applying
system settings" and open my unattend.xml file and remove the IEWelcomeMsg line and the image deploys perfectly, so I know that's my problem. I can't figure out where that line is coming from. I have edited every unattend.xml file in the Templates folder under
MDT and also the one in my deployment task sequence, but somewhere during that deployment, that one setting gets added back to the unattend file and nukes the whole image. I'm about to pull my hair out. I'm implementing MDT to save time but I feel like the
last couple of weeks trying to get it to work have been a waste. I have thought about backing my reference image back to IE9, but having to deploy IE10 post image seems like it's an unnecessary burden. Any help would be appreciated.

Issue with sync error: Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action.

Hi, i have just recently started having an issue with Sync on my desktop. My associated Android and Mac Laptop do not experience any issues when attempting to sync, but the desktop constantly gives the same error. I have tried unpairing the desktop, clearing all files, restarting and then adding the desktop to sync once again, but the error persists.
All of the bookmarks on the desktop have vanished, but are still in my sync data and have no problems being viewed on the other paired devices. This also tells me that the issue isn't the sync server and is something unique to the desktop machine.
I am hoping that this won't require a reinstall, but if all else fails, it is an option. I will try to attach a log file once i have submitted the question.

I agree. Too many issues lately with sync errors and flash crashes. I'm going back to Google Chrome for a few months. Don't have time to be bothered with the nonsense and slow fixes.

Can't Export Movie - Unknown Compile Error - Help!

I edited a 32 minute movie in Premiere Elements 10, and now I'm trying to export it. At some point during the export, and it seems to vary, I get an unknown compile error. I've been trying to export the movie for the past week and all I get is failure despite trying just about everything I've found written about how to solve this.
I have Win 7 Ultimate SP 1 running on a Lenovo desktop machine with an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU at 2.67 GHz, 4GB of RAM, 32 bit proc.
Premiere is installed on system C drive with 6 GB of free space.
Project and scrach disks are on D drive with 165 GB of free space.
Media files are on 2nd E drive with 50GB of free space.
Project and most source material is NTSC DV -- there are quite a few photos with motion, plus some iPhone HD video on the timeline, hundreds of clips in all plus narration, a few titles, etc.
Export destination folder is on D drive.
Everything will render to green lines atop timeline (sometimes it quits during render and I have to keep hitting Enter to continue rendering, but eventually it's all green)
So far I've tried:
- Reinstalling PE 10
- Reinstalling Quicktime
- Copying all the photos to their own separate folder
- Editing each photo slightly (outside of PE 10) and resaving to make sure none of the photos are corrupted
- Emptying the temp folder
- Deleting all the renders and cache files and letting them rebuild
- Exporting small pieces of the timeline to try to identify a bad clip -- this is a maddening process and I did find one clip that would generate the error, but I managed to export that to AVI and reimport and replace on timeline. It would be awfully nice if PE would just TELL ME which clip it doesn't like if in fact it's a clip error.
- Turning off the shadow / highlight feature I had on some clips, but this wasn't the issue, smaller sections with these clips exported fine
- Tried exporting to various formats: Vimeo SD, MPEG DV Standard, iPad Standard High Quality, AVI -- all result in the same error (the format I want by the way is Vimeo SD)
- Rebooting the machine and turning everything off that might possibly consume memory
This machine has never had problems exporting in the past. One thing I did try that worked -- installed PE 10 on another (less capable) Win 7 machine, and fed it all the media via an external drive. The other machine did the export fine (though it took a while given it is underpowered). This is nothing more than a work around though as I don't normally have access to this machine and I'm not done editing.
I'm at my wits' end! What else can I do to get this movie file to export?
Appreciate any help or clues you can provide to solve this mystery.

Oh, that is tragic!
I never had any issues with mine. Maybe it knew how respectful I was, having come from manual rewinds and a sync block? The Moviola was a godsend, at least for me. I am glad that I got to edit film, and on many setups, as some of that translated well to digital Video. Back when I was in film school, Video was 2" tape, and the only editing was by cutting at a 45 degree angle, and splicing the tape. There was not even deck-to-deck editing, way back then. Also, Video looked like crap, at least to my eyes. We could only use a switcher, to "edit," or do a feed to air. Looked like crap!
As for the Lexus, I can imagine all sorts of problems. My new LX-570 requires me to "Accept," when I put it into reverse, on the rear-view monitor! At least my wife's MB does not require that, but it is a 2011 model, so maybe the 2013 models will require that the user sign off on all sorts of "stuff."
Now, I can play Finding Nemo, for my rear-seat passengers, while driving, but the front-seat passengers cannot see it, which is just fine. When driving, I am not even a fan of hands-free calls, and declined most of the streaming stock quotes, etc. for XM/Sirius radio. NOT while I am driving. I will save that for reading the WSJ in the club at the airport.
Some years ago, our driver in London got a new BMW 7-series, and it allowed the playing of DVD's, even in the front, while driving. Not sure that I would want that, but such is life. At least his seats' ventilation system was "well-chilled," where ours' are just air. He almost froze my bum, showing off his new auto.
Now, working with PS, or PrE in an auto, or even on a mobile device, is just not something that I can wrap my old head around. I want a fast computer, with a big display, and cannot imagine editing Images, or Video, on any handheld (or auto) device.

Unknown MTP error (0x8004c03e) when connecting pTunes to computer

I recently purchased a Palm centro and began using pTunes with no problem. I bought some headphones for the phone and when I used them, they blew out the speakers. I had to get a new phone and I took my memory card out of the damaged phone and put it in the new phone. For some reason, none of the music is still on the card. This is not a major problem, I thought. I went to sync all the music onto the new phone, but as soon as I plug into the phone (so it is connected to the computer) and pull up pTunes, it says "Communicating" and then comes up with this: "Unknown MTP error (0x8004c03e)". I pulled up Media Player on the computer and it recognized the phone. I clicked the button to sync the music to see if it would work anyway and it starts to sync and then says error for every song. Please help! I gave this long description cause I know sometimes with these kinds of problems the more information I can give the better.

When I used the link in that email to download the CC Desktop App and when I launch it, I'm still receiving the error "Unknown Server Error" Sign in is currently unavailable. We are unable to access your account. Please try again later.
Anyone run into a similar situation or have thoughts on how to remedy this?

Itunes sync error code -54

I have an IPAD2, IPOD, 5S and 6....each time I connect to Itunes I get sync error and the code is 54.
Code is not listed on Apples Support page of various codes.
Uninstalled Itunes, restarted Windows PC, dowloaded and reinstalled ITunes, same issue.
Is there a solution to this problem?

On the Windows version of iTunes, error -54 means a general IO error occurred that can be caused by many different things: a file is corrupt, a file is locked, or an .m4a file could not be converted to a lower bit rate.

Home Sync Error

Hey Guys,
My users are receiving the samw error "Home Sync Error" with their PHD set up. It not all of them, but I haven't found a pattern that is causing it though? No relation in workstations etc.
There are various errors like "Unknown Error:[1]rename('/Volumes/...." and also one for deleting a file. Most of them seem like temp files but the .GlobalPreferences is also in there?
Has anyone else had any experiance with this issue, or can shed any light? Any help would be greatly appreceated.
Regards,
r00tb00t

Well I posted here not giving to much info so I should probably give some more. This is a post I posted else where I have copied!
Here are some more details:
It would seem that when a user logs on their Portable Home Directory is mounted under the /Volumes directory (in my case /Volumes/groupname/username/). We all know this already. We also know that with stuff like this and mobile homes etc clients make preferences (like .GlobalPreferences) on a per-computer basis, if you look in myhomefolder/Library/Preferences/ByHost we can see many .GlobalPreferences files each ending with the MAC Address of a machine we have logged onto. So for my students there are many entries for the different machines they work at.
It would seem (as far as I can tell) that when a student logs on we create a temporary .GlobalPrefernces file in our mounted home directory at /Volumes/teachers/james/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.fstemp.PHD-R-R9FKAzSqm_-james52hfaStqfe4.noindex
(Note here that during the time I or anyone else if logged on, this file doesn't actually seem to exist its not in the folder?)
And when we logoff we rename the temporary file to replace the actual .GlobalPreferences file located on the server, which for my example user was /Volumes/teachers/james/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPrefernces.0011223344 5566.plist
So, when my students logoff they get:
"Unknown error:[1] rename('/Volumes/teachers..../.fstemp.PHDR_R9FKAzSqm-james52hfaStqfe4.noindex', '/Volumes/teachers...Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist')".
So my question is, why would that be? Am I on the right lines? Does any one have any idea why this is happening?
All input is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help so far.

r00tb00t

Unknown Server error, again and again

I have to delete my ../OOBE/opm.db file every two to three days to get past the 'unknown server error' CC login. Is there a more permanent solution? I did all the updates.
This is really annoying. I open a file. I get a 'font not present' error because CC didn't sync my Typekit-fonts. Close file. Quit CC. Navigate to folder. Delete opm.db file. Open CC. Wait for font sync. Open file... At my hourly rate this is dubbeling the monthly cost of CC!!! I just need my software to work, especially at these rates! (Sorry for the rant, but this bug is getting on my nerves).
(Mac pro on Mountain Lion)

Hi enesbaskaya,
Opm.db could be found in user Library which is hidden in 10.7 or above. Please follow the kb: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html and try to delete opm.db.

Sync Error messages

Hello.
Since Monday I keep getting sync errors on Firefox 31 with a Windows 8.1 machine:
"Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error."
Here is the sync log:
http://pastebin.com/fuY8u572
It looks like it is syncing everything except for the open tabs on this computer.
Could you please take a look?

I have recently started getting these messages on Firefox ESR 24.7.0 Macintosh. It's very frustrating: I have no idea what will happen to sync once my machines are able to access the database with their increasingly-divergent bookmarks, etc.
Should I assume the problem remains at your end? I have at least one error log available to post on request.

IDick Sync Error, with no info about problem!

I keep getting the following iDisk Sync Error on my MacBook Air but it doesn't give me any info to resolve -
" Your iDisk did not finish syncing because a problem occurred, please try again later."
My sync setting are set to sync automaticlly with my MobileMe account and the problem has been happening for 5 days without me being able to resolve. When I dismiss the messag eit keeps popping bavk up every 2/3 minutes
I am using OS X v10.7.2. Can anyone advise how to resolve?
Thanks

Just wanted to add:
Even when I just change the name of the voice memo in iTunes I get the unknown error -13019.
Name changes on the iPhone app are not reflected in iTunes (the still have the date/time stamp as a name there). But sync works.
When I change the name in iTunes too to match the name on the iPhone the sync is not working.

Sync error code (-54)

I get the following error code when attempting to sync my 5s on my HP computer running Win 8:
-The iPhone 5s cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-54).
I purchased AppleCare when I bought this phone and after multiple phone calls with AppleCare the last contact I had, I was told "We will review the diagnostic files you uploaded, and I will call you back." That was three weeks ago, and after sending two follow up emails, now the supervisor at AppleCare has not and does not call back to resolve. (I think AppleCare is no longer the value it once was).
Has anyone else had the sync error code (-54)?
How did you resolve it?

On the Windows version of iTunes, error -54 means a general IO error occurred that can be caused by many different things: a file is corrupt, a file is locked, or an .m4a file could not be converted to a lower bit rate.

PHD and Home Sync Error

I am running Snow Leopard server 10.6.4 and all clients are running Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
When a user with a PHD network account opens a datafile such as Word or Excel, a home sync errors ocurrs. As soon as the file is closed the error disappears but it is very frustrating to have these messages pop up whenever a file is in use by the user. I don't recall this being a problem under Leopard.
Is there a setting which can disable these pop ups when the user is user the file?

Well I posted here not giving to much info so I should probably give some more. This is a post I posted else where I have copied!

It would seem (as far as I can tell) that when a student logs on we create a temporary .GlobalPrefernces file in our mounted home directory at /Volumes/teachers/james/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.fstemp.PHD-R-R9FKAzSqm_-james52hfaStqfe4.noindex
(Note here that during the time I or anyone else if logged on, this file doesn't actually seem to exist its not in the folder?)
And when we logoff we rename the temporary file to replace the actual .GlobalPreferences file located on the server, which for my example user was /Volumes/teachers/james/Library/Preferences/ByHost/.GlobalPrefernces.0011223344 5566.plist
So, when my students logoff they get:
"Unknown error:[1] rename('/Volumes/teachers..../.fstemp.PHDR_R9FKAzSqm-james52hfaStqfe4.noindex', '/Volumes/teachers...Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist')".
So my question is, why would that be? Am I on the right lines? Does any one have any idea why this is happening?
All input is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help so far.
