Make sure that Firefox on your PC is using the new version 1.5 of the Firefox Sync add-on (or a recent Firefox 4 nightly build).

The sync key needs the correct capitalization. Using your PC, you could also try changing the sync key to something easier to type and check.

A longer sync key required (apparently). 12 digits or more...

I got it to work finally - just use a new, system generated sync key/passphrase (same thing).

No matter how long or complex a sync key that I tried to come up with; it simply wouldn't work. Once I used the system generated one - bang, it worked on all four devices.

Goes without saying, that I'd back your stuff up first .....
