Same here. Getting the error message: "authentication service temporary (should be temporarily imo) not available" when turning Opera link off and on again to force sync.

The same story. Synchronization works fine between my desktop Opera and the Link. However, it does not work between Opera Mini and the Link in the last two days at least. I am also getting the same message "Authentication is not available". I hope it is a temporary problem. I was reading different blogs, and it looks like Opera has different linking issues for a very long time. It is time to fix it.

Just tried and got the same error. Hope it's just temporary. Maybe the Opera Link service needs an overhaul.

Me too! Sent a message to them, their response was check the forums since you don't have a premium account. If this errror isn't addressed soon, I will probably discontinue using this browser and find something else.

Bookmarks not synching in Opera Mini. "Authentication services temporarily unavailable": am receiving this same message on both Mini 4.3 and 6.5 when manually trying to force sych on by logging in to Opera. Have reinstalled 6.5 with same result and now have no bookmarks there. Have sent in bug reports. As this has continued to be a reported problem for the past 48 hours, it would be nice if someone in Opera tech could address this issue and respond in the forum. Thank you.

Mine hasn't been working for about 2 or 3 months!

On my Nokia 5230, I use Opera Mini 6.1.25570 (6.5 crashed whenever I went to the 'Saved pages' tab, but that's another story...).

Opera Mini won't upload bookmarks I've made on it. I've tried forcing it to sync by turning Opera Link off and on again but after I enter my username and password and click the Login button, the message box says "Logging in" then displays "Synchronising your data..." but then just stays like that with the twirly progress thing in the top left corner going round and round and round. I've left it for 10 minutes but nothing more happens.

Is there any way to solve this?

Thanks all.

for the record, sync dialog blinks three times like sync attempts or it just say 'syncronise your data' perpetual? Are you using standard internet settings from your provider? With what version you encounter this problem? What is happening if you kill the sync process and restart the app?

When I had this problem, I was using the standard internet settings from my provider. Restarting Opera Mini didn't help, the same thing happened over and over again. For me, the version this happened with was 6.1.25570.

I know that resetting the phone is not much of a solution because you still lose all your bookmarks but I ended up having to reset mine to factory settings for a completely different reason, then reinstalled all my old programs (including Opera Mini 6.1.25570) and it now works properly. I suspect a file that Opera Mini uses to sync somehow gets corruped which makes the sync functionality no longer able to work correctly.

my settings are the standard ones from my provider. i cant remember which version, maybe v.6 something. the sync is perpetual, i.e it goes on endlessly. have to cancel to stop the process. restarting the app does nothing...same problem. dont want to do a re-set just yet mainly because i dont want to lose all my bookmarks. also i have seen other people have had the same problem in the recent past but the issue was on the opera server side which was later fixed, so hoping its the same again this time.

i should add that i went to check my bookmark folders in my opera link account. i saw that some of the folders were missing, so decided to log out of opera sync on my phone and log back in, thinking this would then refresh the files and the missing folders would be updated. bad move, because i have not been able to log back in or sync any of my bookmarks ever since!

I have Opera Mini on my iPhone and the Opera browser on my computer. I just downloaded Opera Link on the computer, and it is enabled. On the computer, it says Opera Link is working fine. When I click "Sync Opera Mini" on the iPhone, it gives me a message to enter my email address so that it can send a link to my computer to download Opera there. I am signed in. There is no syncronization happening. What should I do?

Yes I've just experienced the same problem, which is kind of the reason why I downloaded Opera in the first place!

I used Opera in the past, but now use Safari & Chrome - but Opera Link looked ideal to sort bookmark syncing out - but if it won't work then I shall uninstall and look to Safari on my PC too.

Shame because Opera Mini looks quite good.

EDIT:
Logging in with email as username & not username seems to sort this out.

Be good to have a manual refresh button to speed sync up but nevertheless it does appear to work.

Hope this helps!

Opera Link is not working for me. I logged out by turning off Opera Link but when I turn it on and logged in, it does nothing other than say synchronizing your data which does not disappear. This is a recent problem.

I tried logging in with my email as Nickhind suggested, and it did sync some things, but not everything.

When I tried logging it with my email, it says that all my book marks will be deleted. I didn't want to have my bookmarks deleted so I pressed no.

Thanks.

Ah neophile1 actually it seems to only sync items in your Opera Mini folder to your phone - and irritatingly you can't see any other bookmarks sitting on your computer from opera mini unless you copy the whole lot to the Opera Mini Folder and make that the equivalent of the Root folder!!

Opera Mini Next is the beta version of Opera Mini (Opera Mini 7). You can get it from http://m.opera.com/next/ (from your mobile phone).

Try to reset internet settings from data account and internet profiles checking manually, not all sync errors are server-side related - most likely a bad pattern in connectivity area.
