Why sync randomly removes not so many bookmarks?

Hello

I sync between 3 PC, but these last few months, it was not reliable.

I found it deleting various records, empty records, duplication of bookmarks into folders and generally being a nightmare.

I have an export that has fortunately most of my good favorites. I tried a disconnection, reimport bookmarks - everythings Ok for a day or two, then it starts to be again randomly.

I have over 6000 Favorites I've heard can be a problem - could it be?

See you soon!

No point in trying of synchronization of bookmarks if you have more than 5,000 bookmarks.

Sync is not particularly good at managing the large number of changes in bookmarks either. Personally, I suggest that it is even more important to backup bookmarks manually if you opt for the synchronization of bookmarks.

These days, Firefox is quite well with bookmarks internal default automated but you learned Sync can be a nightmare if you manually back up at least you can then choose to save a set of bookmarks sync did not wreck.
You have found most of the kind of corruption, causes of synchronization are difficult, time-consuming or impossible to correct, and very probably Sync will be assigned automatic backup sets until you realize what has happened past.

If I understand correctly this is a long-standing problem and would require a redesign of the synchronization process and I don't think it is expected to do.

Note There are two different ways to save bookmarks.

  1. HTML is the export import ADDITIONS

  2. . JSON .jsonlz they REPLACE BACKUPS

I hope that some of this information will be useful in dealing with this issue.

Edit the typos and format

  • I do not use sync and am not connected? Why my favorites are synchronization?

    My desktop computer has a series of bookmarks that I use at work. My home PC has another, different set of bookmarks that I use at home. I do not use sync and am not connected to sync on each PC. Why my favorites are the synchronization between two PCs? For example, I noticed several bookmarks near the top of my bookmark menu over a line of separation that I do not have to work.

  • Why the address bar is not displayed marked bookmark first when entering?

    I have all the tag bookmarks. When I type the given tag name (exact) in the address bar it shows mixed history results ignoring added fresh bookmarks. I have to manually go through the Bookmarks Manager and select them by label. How to solve this problem? It's really annoying.

    Thanks for the link.
    The solution is to add ' *' at the end of sentence so that history in this way is omitted. It seems that in the standard semiautomatic results are also sorted by how many times links were visited. That's why my favorites were not included in the list.

  • iBooks is not synchronization of bookmarks and notes on devices

    I have an iPad 2 and mini ipad and do the two together to sync and it used to work, but now it doesn't.

    Hello there, irisapple.

    Looks like you are having problems with your bookmarks and notes synchronization on multiple iOS devices. The following Knowledge Base article provides a few major steps for troubleshooting of bookmarks:

    Get help using bookmarks iCloud and playlist

    Before you start

    • Check the system status page to see if there are known issues related to bookmarks from iCloud, since your device might not be the cause of your problem.
    • Make sure that your settings of date and time on your device are correct.  You can easily correct problems caused by an incorrect date and time settings by entering the right information.
    • Make sure that you don't lose important information in making copies of your bookmarks.
    • If your bookmarks are not in the same order on all of your devices, check to see how many bookmarks is in the folder. If the folder contains more than 500 Favorites, the order of bookmarks may not be the same on all devices.

    If you go to a bookmark that you deleted in the last 30 days, you can recover it from iCloud.com. Just click settings and under Advanced Options, click on restore bookmarks.

    Learn more if you need help to use iCloud tabs.

    {...}

    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch

    After each step, check to see if the problem persists.

    Turn on bookmarks and update your device

    Check your Internet connection

    1. Open Safari and go to www.apple.com. If you are unable to connect to the Internet, your iCloud does not refresh playlist and Favorites in the app Safari help with your Internet connection.
    2. Open a secure Web site to your iOS device to see if you can access the ports 80 and 443. Safari requires access to port 443 to push updates between iCloud and your devices.

    Check your account details

    Tap Settings > iCloud and make sure that you are connected to the same iCloud account that you use on your other supported devices.

    Restart Safari

    Close and restart the Safari app on your iOS device.

    In iOS 7 or later:

    1. Double-click the Home button to see your open applications.
    2. Find the Safari preview screen and he drag up to close the application.
    3. Press the home key to return to your home screen.
    4. Wait a minute, and then reopen the Safari app.

    1. Tap Settings > iCloud.
    2. Disable Safari.
    3. You can choose to remove my [device] If your data exist on one or more of your computers. Otherwise, choose keep on my [device].
    4. Wait a few minutes and then back on Safari.

    Restart your device

    Press and hold the sleep/wake button, then drag the slider when asked power off. Turn on your device.

    This article provides also some good information regarding the Notes on your devices:

    iCloud: overview of Notes

    Notes on your devices

    When you make changes using Notes on iCloud.com, they automatically appear in the Notes on your iOS devices and Mac computers that are connected to the same iCloud account and vice versa. You can also view your notes updated iCloud in Microsoft Outlook on your computer Windows put in place to iCloud.

    However, if you upgrade your iCloud account in the Notes application on a device with iOS 9 or later or OS X v10.11 or later:

    • Your notes on these devices and iCloud.com keeps them abreast of the notes on any of your devices with iOS 8.4.1 or an earlier version, OS X v10.10.5 or earlier, or Windows.
    • Your notes are not are stored in your @icloud e-mail account.

    Notes in other accounts

    If you upgrade the notes in your iCloud account or not, they are separated from the notes in other accounts that you have, for example a Yahoo! or Google account. iCloud keeps only the notes in your iCloud up-to-date account.

    Use iCloud Notes from a web browser

    To use Notes on iCloud.com, go to icloud.com/notes and sign in with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).

    If you use another iCloud application, you can move Notes by clicking on the name of the application at the top of the iCloud.com window.

    When you work with Notes on iCloud.com, make sure that you use a browser that is recommended in the Apple Support article system requirements for iCloud.

    If you see Pages, Numbers, Keynote and parameters on iCloud.com, your account has fair access to the web features only in iCloud. To see and use the Notes and other features iCloud, iCloud implemented on your Mac or iOS device.

    If you try to use Notes on iCloud.com, but get a message indicating that an iCloud email address is necessary, your iCloud account is not configured with a free email account @icloud.com. iCloud uses the e-mail account to store notes for the original app Notes on iCloud.com and 8.4.1 iOS devices or an earlier version, OS X v10.10.5 or earlier, or Windows. If you do not have an email address @icloud.com, you can create a turning on Notes in the iCloud on your Mac preferences or in the iCloud on your iOS device settings.

    Thank you for reaching out to the communities of Apple Support.

    Kind regards.

  • Why Flash cookies are not deleted the first time I'm leaving Firefox?

    I am running XP, Firefox 16.0.1 and Flash Player 11.4.402.287 and have Firefox configured to 'Clear history of Firefox closing', with 'Cookies' (among others) checked "settings to erase history. I also have Flash Player configured to "Block all sites to store information on this computer."

    As I understand it, from Firefox 4 and Flash Player 10.3, have Firefox configured in this way should cause cookies Flash should be deleted out of Firefox. I also understand that even though I have Flash configured as I do, a list of websites that try to plant a cookie Flash is always recorded in the main settings.sol cookie.

    I noticed, however, that this list of empty Flash cookies is not removed the first time I have quit Firefox; on the contrary, the list is deleted after launch and then leaving Firefox again.

    Here is a step-by-step example:

    (1) Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage tab-> storage Local to Site-> button settings confirm that the list is empty

    (2) output, that manage Flash Player settings

    (3) launch Firefox-> go to http://www.Hulu.com/ and click on a video to start playing

    (4) recovery Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage-> Local website storage settings... tab button-> make sure that the list indicates http://www.Hulu.com/, 0 bytes, block

    (5) leave the Flash Player Settings Manager

    (6) Firefox exit

    (7) raise Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage-> storage settings Local to Site-> NOTE THAT THE LIST SHOWS AGAIN http://www.Hulu.com/, 0 bytes, block

    (8) leave the Flash Player Settings Manager

    (9) restart Firefox

    (10) raise Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage-> storage settings Local to Site-> NOTE THAT THE LIST SHOWS AGAIN http://www.Hulu.com/, 0 bytes, block

    (11) exit the Flash Player Settings Manager

    (12) exit Firefox

    (13) stimulus Control Panel-> Flash Player-> storage-> storage settings Local to Site-> NOTE THAT THE LIST IS now EMPTY

    Once again, my question is - why this list is not emptied the first time around?

    Safe mode disables plugins, I think not, so that you can put those aside for now.

    I suggest disable all non-essential extensions. We all tend to accrue to those who are not really necessary. You can do so here:

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Modules > category: Extensions

    If the kernel extensions, you really like the cause of the same problem, then I think you will have to just live with it. Please note that Flash is followed correctly your bet as a block, so I don't think that something is actually stored.

  • Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Why my printer does not print with Windows 8?

    Did you just upgraded or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can't get your printer to work?  If so, this can help you.  Many people have questions about the installation of their printer on a new OS.  This will help you answer these questions and make sure you get everything installed.

    Before you start

    Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8, you should check to make sure that the printer is compatible with the new OS.  The link below will give you a list of printers that will work in Windows 8.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03168175

    If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 formed another version of Windows, make sure all software uninstall complete of your printer.  It should still print, but to use all the features, you will need to reinstall the software, if available.

    Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer.

    1. USB.  You must ensure that you have a USB cable which does not exceed 6 feet (about 2 m).  Be sure to connect the printer directly to the computer.  Do not use a USB hub.

    2. Ethernet cable.  Make sure you have the network configuration, you have a free cable port on the router, and you have an available Ethernet cable.

    3. Wireless.  You must ensure that you have the configuration of the wireless network, and you have the password of the wireless network.

    1. installation Via USB

    Installation via USB in Windows 8 became much simpler for users of HP printer.  In other versions of the Windows operating system, you need to launch the installation and wait that it asks for the USB connection.  If you do not, you will need to uninstall the printer from the devices and printers folder and then launch the installation.  In Windows 8, which won't be a problem.  If you plug the USB cable from the printer and then install the printer software, work remains.  Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via the USB port click on the link below.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03521864

    2 installation Via an Ethernet network connection

    For an Ethernet connected printer, the installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It's really as simple as that.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    3 installation Via a wireless network connection.

    For a wireless printer, network installation is disconcerting.  All you have to do is to connect the printer to the network.  Once you have done so, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if available.  It is roughly the same as just Wireless Ethernet installation.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    Alternative installation methods

    With Windows 8, the drivers of many printers are installed with the operating system.  These are called pilots InOS, since they come built-in to the operating system.  If you have one of these printers, you should have to do simply connect it to the computer via USB, or connect to the network via Ethernet or wireless.  Once you have that makes Windows will take care of the rest.  There are other methods of installation of your printer if normal methods don't work for some reason any.  You can install the printer is using the printer, or through Windows Updates Setup Wizard.

    Set printer wizard:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02681060

    Windows Update:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03460648

    Note: The drivers of Laserjet for the Asia-Pacific and the Japan will come only at a later date.  See below the link support site for the availability of the driver.  I will update this post once they become available.
