Not sure why this just started happening after Sync working fine since Mozilla changed the system months ago. Here's my log:

hello, this is currently an ongoing server issue that is investigated by mozilla. there is nothing you can change on your end to address that...

Thanks. When I get the error there's a button to check Server Status and it always says server is operating normally, so I thought it was at my end. Thanks again for explaining.

I get this same error message intermittently. I haven't a clue what to look for at about:sync-log, so have pasted at http://pastebin.com/jynZWPMi.

Thanks for your help.
