When I try to set up Sync with an existing account on a fresh beta profile, it crashes--what can I do?

Using openSUSE 11.3 (i586,) Firefox 4.0b11 (and several previous versions) crashes with very repeatable steps:
- Start with a new profile
- Navigate: Tools -> Set Up Sync...
- Click: I already have a Firefox Sync account. [Connect]
- Click: I don't have the device with me.
- Enter my Sync user account, along with the correct password and the correct sync key. Using Firefox Sync server.
- The program will spin for a second or two, then crash, and bring up the crash reporter.

Before I remembered sync existed I tried mozbackup which had worked for years but this time it was denied access to signons2.txt. The next attempt was to follow the instructions for copying all of the appdata/.../... folder. Those instructions told me to create a new profile on the computer I wanted to copy the files to. I did that then I remembered sync. Sync would not function on that computer until I deleted the new profile and had only the default one. Then it was happy.
Is sync supposed to work on machines with more than one profile or could it have worked if I had selected the default profile from profile manager? Should Mozbackup worked on firefox 6.01?

    Hi
    I would try this since Apple TV is built to allow multiple Apple Ids
    On you Apple TV
    General > Settings >Itunes Store > Add New Account (put yours in here)
    Then Switch account to your Apple Id
    Cheers

    "You may be able to use other payment types in your country, like debit and Maestro cards. Too see all accepted payment methods, follow these steps:"

    Ok, it's just a glitch that it's not auto-rebooting from the disk.
    Please backup your personal files off the machine to a regualr external drive and disconnect all drives before doing anything
    Take the 10.6 disk out and clean and polish the bottom with a very soft clean cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to cut the oils.
    Stick the disk in and reboot holding c key down, this will make it boot from the disk and you can install Snow Leopard that way.

  • Why does it say I have an invalid email when I try to set up sync?

    I have an ipod touch. I downloaded the firefox home app onto the device.
    I then tried to sync my home computer.
    When I try to set up a firefox home account I go to "tools", enter "set up a sync " and then enter "create a new account". A window comes up that "email address". As soon as I start to enter my email an "x" shows up followed by "this is an invalid email". What's up?

    Just keep typing until you have entered the entire email address.

  • When I try to set up sync on an xp netbook nothing happens after clicking the (I already have an account) Connect button

    I am trying to add an XP netbook to sync. I go to tools/set up sync. Neither the Connect nor Create a New Account buttons work. (I tried the Create a New Account just to see if it works)
    The Cancel button does work.
    What is the problem?

  • We just insta lled ios7 on my wife's iPhone and iPad. Now both FaceTime and Face Book on her devices use my e-mail instead of hers. When we try to set up here her e-mail on either of her devices it says that we can not do it because that e-mail is in use

    We just installed iOS7.0.3 on my wife's iPhone 4 and her iPod. Now her FaceTime and Facebook use my apple id.
    When we try to log in to either site on either of her devices with her apple id it tells us that we can't because that id is already in use.
    How do we fix that?

    Thanks. That's the point. I'm not trying to set up a new account. When we try to go to either of those 2 sites on either of her devices, her Apple id comes up and you have to put in her password. After doing that, a message appears that says you can't log in because that id is already in use, but it is her id.
    We use the same iMac but have different accounts. I want to keep everything seperated.

  • TS3276 When I try sending emails through Mail with my iCloud account, it says "Unable to Sign Message"

    I cannot send messgaes through Mail with my iCloud account. Whenever I try sending them, it tells me "Unable to sign message".
    Does anybody know how to fix it?

    Check if you have set the correct language and country in your Apple TV. Maybe you are trying to connect to the wrong iTunes store.

  • My iPod touch can't syncing with the computer or download apps by itself this morning. What can I do?

    I just got up this morning and tried to download some apps on the appstore, but I couldn't. It said: An unknown error has occurred. Then, I tried to connect it to my macbook pro and sync the song to the ipod. It said "the ipod could not be synced because the sync sesssion failed to start" . What can I do to fix it?

    How about some additional detail like iPod OS, router make and model, encryption you use on your network, examples of troubleshooting you have tried?

  • The connect button does not respond when i try to set up sync

    I upgraded the 4.0 version of firefox yesterday to 4.2 and all of my settings were reset to defaults. When i tried to setup sync it asked me to create a software password. I did this and then clicked on the connect button. It then prompted me for password. Upon incorrectly entering the password it will prompt me again but if i enter the password correctly the dialog box close and nothing happens. If i try to click on "connect" again nothing happens. If I restart firefox and try again i will again be prompt to enter my password but again nothing will happen.

  • A bunch of tabs opened in Firefox, it froze so I closed it and now when I try to open Firefox it is trying to open all the tabs and it freezes. What can I do?

    The entire program becomes unresponsive and I cannot get into any of the tabs. It will not allow me to close any of the tabs either.

    Delete the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    Set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes] to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
    That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen the other tabs.

  • HT1351 My ipod will sync with my music library but willno longer download purchased music. What can I do to correct this?

    My Ipod will not download purchased music even though it displays "synchronizing" message. This was never a problem before. Note: my ipad will not sync either. I have my music library stored in a PC Windows 7). Is there something that I am not doing correctly?

    Try disabling a/v software and turning off the Firewall on your PC.
    Disable antivirus software
    Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
    Then try syncing your iPod.

  • When I try to download Yosemite the icon in the doc reads "waiting" and never does anything. What can I do to start the download?

    I have a macbook pro operating on OS X software, version 10.6.8. I am trying to upgrade to the newest version (I'm clearly behind, I know) and when I click "get" in the app store the download drops into the dock and reads "OS X Yosemite--waiting" and the only option is to click "cancel download". I've restarted the download twice and restarted the computer once. I'm not sure what else to try. Suggestions?

    Try the download again. If it shows waiting, check the App Store Purchases tab for a Resume button. If there is none, let the download sit there. Sometimes Apple's servers bog down. I usually try downloading at night.
