[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Some solutions..?

[Christopher Kirill Sokolov]

I had a very similar issue, and I basically resolved it by trashing 
the _contents_ of:

~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local

This seems to reset Apple's (the operating system's) understanding of 
what is being synchronized.  Make sure you have a backup of your ical 
and address book before doing this, and make sure to replace the 
contents of .mac with the contents on your computer etc. before 
syncing with your Pocket PC.

Starting over by doing this and trashing my Missing Sync preferences 
resolved my syncronizing problems.

I had some trouble (maybe still do?  not convinced yet) getting 
Missing Sync to pick up ActiveSync requests from my iPaq over 
Bluetooth.  I resolved this, I think, by basically following the 
instructions here, even though I have an iPaq.

I hope this helps.  Mark/Space -- Please review these ideas, and if 
they make any sense, could you work them into tech notes so that 
others won't have to take as much time as I did to discover them? 
Maybe put a command in Missing Sync to reset the SyncServices 
preferences and the Missing Sync preferences?
