[missing-sync-palmos-talk] MissingSync and iSync under Tiger

[W Yu]

There's a comment on the iSync/MissingSync hotsync action under Tiger
published in MacFixIt.com today. Worth taking a look.

Quoted below:

iSync not properly synchronizing It appears that users will have to
re-initialize any iSync-enabled devices from the data saved on their Macs
after updating to Mac OS X 10.4. The new version of iSync -- 2.0 -- does not
allow devices to automatically sync and retain data stored on said device.
Instead, as noted by MacFixIt reader Mark B, users have two options after
updating:

reinitialize the device from the data on the computer (losing any changes
made on the device since the last sync) or
"merge" the two data sets, creating duplicates of nearly everything.
So make sure that your devices are synchronized under Mac OS X 10.3.x first
(all data that is on the device is also on the computer) before updating to
Mac OS X 10.4.

One reader affected by this issue writes: "Have just updated to Tiger 10.4
and tested out iSync 2.0 and MissingSync 4.0.4 with my Palm T2/SE T68i.
Well, it was most annoying that iSync would reset all the past sync data.
Meaning that all data will have to either re-merge or overwritten on the
peripheral device."
