What is included in "preferences" when you sync your computers using Firefox 6?

What preferences are included in the sync function?
Tool bar settings?
Plug in settings?
Preferences is just too broad of a term, I prefer that when I sync any of my computers the tool bars look the same, the menus look alike, etc.

You can see which prefs are synced if you open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and filter for <b>services.sync.prefs.sync.*</b>
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).

  • When you sync your Ipod using Itunes does it back up your photos?

    Title says it all,
    when you sync your ipod does it back up your photos automatically.. Preferrably the photos that are in the camera roll?
    My ipod won't turn on at all, I have tried everything and I am thinking it might be a battery issue at this point but anyways.. I might buy the Ipod Touch 5th Generation and I REALLY need the photos that I last had on the ipod. The day before the ipod decided to die on me, I synced it to my computer to put music on it and stuff so I am wondering if it backed up the photos as well?

    Yes iTunes backs up your iPod automatically every time you sync unless you have the Summary pane in iTunes for the iPod chacked to backup to iCloud. In that case yo have to manually backup to iTunes.

    Yes, the iPod backup that iTunes makes (and iCloud makes) includes photos in the iPod's Camera Roll album.

  • What is the green next to apps composed of when you sync your phone?

    what is the green next to apps composed of when you sync your phone?

    Hi steven1098,
    If you are referring to the green portion of the status bar at the bottom of iTunes that indicates current usage and available capacity, that portion (the green section) represents the spaced used by your apps themselves. You may find the following article useful:

  • When you sync your phone does data go from phone to pc or pc to phone

    Good morning, when you sync your iphone4, is the phone uploading to the pc or is the pc downloading to the phone?  What is the overriding situation?  Also, can you delete unwanted phot folders from the phone or do you have to try to "restore" phone to factory settings and start again or will this even work?  I am always guessing when I sync because I am never sure which way it is going.  Thanks for any help.

    I thought I tried the uncheck/check but maybe I didn't so I will give that a try.  It is actually my friends phone (I try stuff on mine but I was hesitant on someone else's phone) so I will try that when I visit them again next week.  Thank you, I will let you know if I am successful.

  • What is the other ( yellow) when you plug

    What is the other yellow when you sync your phone to itunes? I takes 4 gbs of storage.

    It can be favorites/recents/etc,
    It should be less than 1GB.
    More than this indicates corrupt files.  A restore should resolve.

  • HT4236 where are the photos saved when you sync it on iTunes

    Please help me I am not sure if my photos are saved and I want to make sure before I update my Iphone so I want to know where they are saved when you sync your phone

    Syncing does not save your photos, photos are imported to the pc/mac.

  • TS4006 when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"

    when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"
    DONT WORRY EVERYONE, FOUND THE ANSWER I NEEDED FROM ANOTHER POSTING - THANK YOU

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You don't need to do anything, you have chosen to back up to iCloud instead of iTunes.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • HT201253 what do you do when you sync gets stuck at step 3 of 7?

    what do you do when you sync gets stuck at step 3 of 7?

    i don't know why it happens. but i know how frustrating it can be. the same thing happened to me. i posted a few inquiries in different apple forums and didn't get any ideas of how to fix it. i did however find a solution on my own.
    i found that if i did a "restore my ipad" that it fixed it. i was hesitant at first because i was afraid of loosing valuable information. but much to my relief i didn't loose any thing. other than an hour of my time.
    this seemed to fixed my problem of being stuck on "waiting for items to copy". my ipad now syncs both wired and wirelessly without any hang ups. however i would suggest that if you are syncing a large amount of data (movies for example) that you do it wired and not wirelessly. i found that it takes a lot longer to sync movies wirelessly.
    good luck

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    What to do when you forget your apple security question

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
