Download Opera browser with:
@leocg Wow! Don't you think that's a little odd, given how syncing is a selling point on the desktop browser? And ESPECIALLY since Touch's own selling point is Flow, and all that DOES is sync between your browsers!? As a Mod, do you think there's any chance of them fixing that?
When it was finally time for me to graduate from my VIC-20, I had a choice between IBM and Apple. I chose IBM because it offered a flexibility just not available -- make that "allowed" -- on Apple products. I have valued that flexibility ever since, and that's why Opera (as opposed to the dictatorial Chrome) is my default browser on all my devices. So I've been looking forward to Touch for quite a while now.
I realize Opera Touch is brand spanking new, but I admit the first thing I expected to see when I linked it with my PC 10 minutes ago was my Speed Dial. Instead, there's a group of "Top Sites". And the bad news is, I stopped playing around with Touch (haven't even seen that single circular display with the mystery dots around the perimeter yet) to find this forum and ask how to sync my Speed Dial. Suggestions?
Dang! Thanks. It seems to me it would be useful to be able to see the tabs in order of when you last used them, right to left.
Hi! If I click on a tab, I would like it to not just come to the front, but move all the way to the right of all the tabs on the screen. So the current tab is always top/right. Is there any way to do that? Thanks!
I apologize once again for taking so long to reply. Now that I'm a little more acclimated to Opera, I think I understand the processes above better. I have found the online sync listings for open tags/speed dials etc. on the other machine. They still don't actually sync with each other, but they're accessible, which is the important part. I would LIKE to have the same Speed dial on both, but perhaps it's better to do that manually (so a delete on one doesn't necessarily delete the Speed Dial on the other.) Anyway, I thank you for your help and patience.
I found the Tabs menu you're talking about. In it is a toggled drop-down "Other devices" list that shows my iPhone and the three pages open in that. But nothing about the other instance of Opera on the other machine.
You are looking at the tabs menu, right?
My ignorance is showing once again. I don't know where the tab MENU is. I don't see it in settings and there doesn't appear to be any way to show it in the menu bar because, well, there doesn't appear to be any way to display the menu bar. (Right clicking on the tab bar doesn't show that as an option.)
Clear cookies and cache and it should work.
This DID work, thanks
No, I tried that and it didn't work -- different tabs on the browsers. So I closed both browsers and started them up again and the tabs on each are still different.
There's something wrong with one of the browsers, though. As I said earlier, if I try to view this thread on, call it A, it keeps loading the page, time and time again. (At last count, it showed 236 views of this thread!) Works fine on "B", though.
Do you think I should try uninstalling/reinstalling Opera on that one?
"All bookmarks" shows the same set of bookmarks in the same order on both computers.
As I said, both computers show my correct e-mail as "signed in as", I only have one account and the bookmarks match.
When I add a bookmark, it shows on both computers almost immediately
No "Other Speed Dials" in Bookmarks (no Speed Dials at all in Bookmarks)
The list there is:
[heart] Show all bookmarks Ctrl+Shift+B
[checkmark] Show bookmarks bar
Add to bookmarks Ctrl+D
[folder icon] My Folders > bookmarks imported from Chrome, followed by
[file icon] imported from IE (1)
[file icon] Imported (1)
[file icon] Imported (2)
[file icon] Imported from Firefox
[file icon] Other bookmarks
[file icon] Mobile bookmarks
[folder icon] Bookmarks bar > [3 bookmarks on bar]
[folder icon] Imported bookmarks >Imported from Chrome > [long list of Chrome bookmarks]
[folder icon] Trash
Yes I do (Sorry about taking so long to respond. For some reason, when I go to the Opera Forums page using Opera, the page just re-loads constantly.)
I have two Windows computers. The computers are both running Win 7 Pro. They are not only
on the same network, they are in the same room, about 6 feet apart.
They are both running Opera 42.0, and the "Signed in as:" line on the "O menu" drop-downs on
both computers refer to the same, correct, e-mail account.
The documentation says Opera should sync:
"Opera for computers: bookmarks, tabs, Speed Dial, settings, history, and passwords."
None of these sync.
I have been searching the documentation/FYI's for about two hours now and have found no solution
to this problem that works.
The instuctions say:
"Sign in and out of your Opera account . . . "
I have signed out of my account on each machine, closed Opera, re-opened it and signed in.
". . . Use the Opera account button located to the right of the combined search and address bar
to sign in to your Opera account. When you're signed in successfully, the button will display a
green check mark. This check mark indicates that Opera is syncing your browsing data
to your account."
I signed on and the drop-downs on each machine had the correct green checkmarks.
I also followed the instructions and looked in Settings/Browser/Advanced and the following have
checkmarks next to them on both machines:
Bookmarks, History, Passwords, Settings, Open Tabs, and the "Encrypt only synced passwords
with my Opera credentials" is checked too.
I love the Vivaldi browser but decided to use Opera because, other than attempting to
copy directories between the machines constantly, there was no way to sync Vivaldi.
And syncing is one of Opera's selling points.
Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong (and where I could have found
that information?)
Thanks,
Bill Dollison
