update 1.0.1 cleared my database
 

After I updated Omnifocus on the iphone to version 1.0.1, I opened the application to find it telling me to sync with a mac or create a new database!! I don't have Omnifocus for the mac, I am using it as a standalone on the iPhone. Is there any way to get my database back? I synced with iTunes this morning.

I am in the exact same boat. I updated to OmniFocus 1.01 and my stand alone database got wiped.

Quick question for you both: Did you check for updates and download version 1.0.1 on iTunes, or on your iPhone/iPod Touch?

Interesting, I updated via the phone itself and it preserved my local database.

Follow-up question: Had you backed up OmniFocus to iTunes recently? (like, right before downloading the update)

I installed via the iPhone itself and backed up this morning.

Follow-up question: Had you backed up OmniFocus to iTunes recently? (like, right before downloading the update)[/QUOTE]Yes, my iPhone got backed up immediately before syncing as it usually does. However, since the sync that updated OmniFocus, I've synced (and backed up) the phone again.

I have not plugged the iPhone into iTunes since the update. I wanted to check to see what a fix could be before writing over the data anymore

Just did a little test, and here's what I've got so far (even though it doesn't appear to help much):

- I updated OmniFocus to 1.0.1 on my iPhone
- Seeing that I could go one of two directions afterwards, I chose to download the 1.0.1 update on iTunes, instead of plugging in the iPhone first
- Plugged in the iPhone after the update had downloaded
- Everything backed up and synced, no issues here on my end

That all said, I am wondering if the [URL="http://www.macworld.com/article/134525/2008/07/iphonebackingup.html"]iTunes Backup Lottery[/URL] may have come into play here for jahn, when I first got OmniFocus on my phone, it took three attempts to successfully back it up into iTunes.

I don't know how that played into hassler's use case.

Another follow-up question, are you both on Mac or Windows?

I'm on a Mac running 10.5.4
