I'm glad to hear that you are able to sync fine now. To answer your questions, the current version of the Missing Sync for Pocket PC reads ALL records from the handheld. Then when writing records back to the handheld we only write back those records that changed. We are working on an update that will sync only those records that have changed, thus increasing the sync speed. The first problem ("eternal conflict") that you saw was probably a random problem writing data back to the handheld. This has not been a widespread problem, but there seems to be a few kinds of events that cause problems. The upcoming release also changes the way we exchange data back and forth and we expect to see even more accurate synchronization of data. We will post a beta application in the coming weeks asking for users to help us beta test this new release. Thanks!

As Ken just pointed out, we're at the tail end of development of a large 2.0 style upgrade. While it has been longer than we initially planned to have between 1.x and 2.x, we believe you'll feel it has been well worth the wait when it ships. The downside of that decision was that we didn't have an intermediate "1.5" style release. It is a bit premature to provide further details at this time, but we'll be posting more to this list in the coming weeks.

One thing I should mention: I have both a Mac and a PC here. I do connect the device to both systems; however, the PC is only used for software installation and notes syncing. Calendar, task, and contact syncing is disabled. Dunno if this might affect things on the Mac end. -- David On Nov 1, 2004, at 3:14 PM, Ken Freeman wrote: > On 10/30/04 10:01 PM, "David Ramsey" wrote: > >> A weird situation has developed when I try to sync my iPAQ 4700 to my >> Mac. >> >> The first time through, iSync will display a single (seemingly random) >> contact record and announce there's a conflict between the version on >> my Mac and the version on the iPaq.

Mark/Space is working on what we think will be a very impressive update. In an earlier list response today I mentioned that in the upcoming weeks we will be asking for beta testers. As for our support offerings. We do realize that for the past few weeks our email support has been behind, resulting in longer delays in replying to some customer problems. We recently hired another support operator and are making changes to the www.markspace.com/support page to help improve access to the self help information. We are also looking at adding other support options in the near future to provide live support help. We encourage people to use the support email forms at http://www.markspace.com/support/emailsupport.html. These forms ask specific questions that will help us better troubleshoot your problem. Too often customers don't provide enough detail for us to troubleshoot the problem and it takes two or three emails to get the key information. This slows down our support personnel by filtering and replying to emails just to gather information. Please use these forms and be sure to provide steps to reproduce the problem you are having. Myslef and others at Mark/Space do monitor this list. Please feel free to continue posting product suggestions and questions. Thanks! Ken Freeman Missing Sync Product Manager Mark/Space, Inc.
