[missing-sync-hiptop-talk] "Synchronization Failed!" *ouch*

[Jim Agutter]

Hello,

I have also been receiving this error on every sync.

Trying to isolate the problem I have changed the settings in ICal to  
get rid of past events older that 60 days.  Changed reoccuring events  
to expire so they don't go on indefinitely.  I have counted about 100  
events that are trying to be sync'd.    Any idea on the problem?   
This problem just started about a month or so ago no long after the  
final release of the software.  I did not have this problem with the  
beta versions.
