Synchronization error message
I am a new user to OF and am enjoying using it. However, I hit a problem this morning. When I boot up OF I get the following message:
[INDENT][B]Cannot start synchronization server.[/B] Cannot read pid file for newly launched server[/INDENT] It started happening after I had a problem in Mail where I wanted to "Move to Inbox" and the application seemed to hang for ~20s. It was when I closed down Mail and OmniFocus and restarted that the problems began. How do I fix the problem? |
Stephendancer, I know our support ninjas have gotten some reports of a problem like this. I want to say it's a permissions issue on the machine in question, but I'm not sure that's the case.
I know they've helped folks resolve this, though; if you [EMAIL="omnifocus@omnigroup.com"]send them an email[/EMAIL], they'll get you back up and running... |
Thanks. Actually, the problem has kind of gone away!

Similar problem for me
I've actually had this same problem intermittently.
I have OmniFocus 1.9.4 running on OS X 10.6.8 with all of the latest software updates from Apple installed. OF is setup as one of the Login Items that starts up after I have logged into my system in my Standard user role. About 10-20% of the time, I get the same "Cannot start synchronization server. -- Cannot read pid file for newly launched server" message, but OF still starts up and is usable. It's just that I can't sync using Bonjour with my iPhone or iPad on my local network. Usually if I quit and then restart OF the problem does not recur (it has only happened once that it repeatedly failed with the same message; a reboot cured the problem). Any idea what might be causing this? I doubt it is a permissions issue since it works most of the time. It's a bit of an annoyance so if there is something simple to remedy the problem, I'd be grateful for the fix. Thanks. |
