[missing-sync-hiptop-talk] To Dos Not Synching

[Rod Morehead]

My experience is that the error handling is just not very good, and 
"failed syncs" generate lots of lots of duplicates.

To make things even more challenging, syncing failures are often not 
reported in the UI, but is visible in the application log.

There are many ways that data can causing syncing failures. Common 
causes are missing fields (first and last name in contact for example) 
or too long fields (very long notes for example).

In a nutshell, the Hiptop desktop schema is less rich/more strict. The 
missing sync conduit, in general, doesn't simplify the data, and syncing 
errors result.

Also, subscribed or published calendars often cause sync errors, even 
with otherwise Hiptop compatible data.

My suggestion is to revert to a backup or clean out the duplicates. 
Backup the address book and iCal data, and then do "reset syncs" until 
you get a clean sync.

Please view the mailing list archives for more information on getting 
started with the application log, doing reset syncs, and spotting failed 
records in the logs.

For better or worse, the Missing Sync for Hiptop is the only solution on 
the Mac, so one can work around all the issues, or have no sync.

Also feel free to email me off of the mailing list.

Thanks,
