=Error While Syncing=
There are number of things that can cause this:
*Your Sync client isn't compatible with the data you have on the Sync server. See [[Firefox Sync is not working#I upgraded something and now Sync doesn't work|I upgraded something and now Sync doesn't work]]
*Your password is incorrect. See [[Firefox Sync is not working#How do I change my password?|How do I change my password?]]
*Your Sync Key is incorrect. See [[Where can I find my Firefox Sync Key?]]
*If you've set a [[Protecting stored passwords using a master password|master password]] and haven't unlocked it
*The Sync servers are under a heavy load - in this case, the error will stop when the server load returns to normal.
=I upgraded something and now Sync doesn't work=
We recently changed a lot of things about how Sync works. One of those was the way it stores your information. If you've updated one of your devices to Firefox 4 Beta 8, Firefox 4 B3 for mobile, or the Sync extension to version 1.6, your Sync data has been updated to the new format. This means that any of your other devices which have not been updated, will need to be updated in order to keep syncing.
