Hmm, well, I don't know much about the preset sync, but from what I heard, it rarely works for people. Ye could just be one of those unlucky floofs who just can't get it to work on y'er computer.
Also, I think that the preset sync only works with the presets that 'ave been uploaded to the FH site, not entirely sure on that, but 'twas what I've always thought.
I'm not sure if we 'ave any preset sync wizards on the forum, but I hope someone is for y'er sake. Sorry I couldn't be of much help.
