Tablet not synching to PC

I have a new windows tablet, and have tried this synching for the first time. My PC has the latest Firefox and so does the tablet, both are logged in with my email address. I have selected what to sync but nothing is synching from my PC to tablet. I have signed out from tablet and back in again and I get a message "sync enabled, firefox will begin synchronising momentarily" but nothing happens. The arrows does turn blue and turns for a few seconds but then it stops.

Hi,

No error messages came up and I couldnt see a time stamp so I deleted the accounts on both devices and created them again and went to "synchronise now" on the tool bar. That appears to have done the trick as the bookmarks are now on the laptop.

Hi wyatt20uk, Are there any error messages on the sync page? (Settings > Sync, below the "singed in as") It may be that you do not have auto syncing turned on.

If there are still issues, it is also possible to wait for sync to complete then look for the last sync time stamp on the about:config page.
