The later #5 beta seems to be working for me. I've
managed mulitple consecutive syncs without a problem.
I also figured out a work-around for what could have
been a big problem. My iCal calender and addressbook
were both in good shape and up to date on the Mac. But
a problem with the PocketPC forced me to restore a
week-old backup. I knew this would be a problem when
trying to sync. Here's what I did: I made a full
backup of the iCal and addressbook data. Ran a sync.
It screwed up all the data on my Mac - as expected. I
restored my data from the backup and ran another sync.
This was enough to fix iCal and get it back on track.
Addressbook was still all screwed up. But one more
restore from the backup and sync actually got that
working again. It took more time than I think it
should, but it did have a happy ending.
QUESTION: Why can't Missing Sync just let me tell it
that the data is correct on the Mac (or the PPC) and
that it should correct the other device? iSync and
iMac can do that. In fact, every other backup program
I've ever used can do that. Is there some technical
reason that makes such a simple idea difficult to put
in the software?
