Unable to create local socket
 

Hi

I have updated OmniFocus from 1.5 to 1.7.5

I have the iPhone version 1.5.3 and I am running SnowLeopard 10.6.2

I had absolutely no problem with version 1.5

Now, Omnifocus is not usable anymore. Every time i launch it, i have an error message "Unable to create local socket" and impossible to synch with the iPhone. The firewall is off. And same problem if i connect directly wifi between the Mac and the iphone ...
Fortunately, before upgrading I made a backup of the working version 1.5 and when i revert, the problem is gone and everything works back like before.

You'll get faster technical help by using Help → Send Feedback to send requests directly to Omni.

That said, have you tried rebooting before launching OF 1.7.5? Reading the log you posted, it appears that there is already a server running at the same address that OF wants to use. I wonder if that might be the OF 1.5 server. Rebooting would make sure the old one (or any other one that wasn't auto-launched) was shut down.

Cheers,

Yes i did reboot. In fact i did it before posting the message and after I made the log.
But after my reboot, i had still the same error message ! ??

So that's why I posted my message int this list with the log i made and everything I got.

Sounds like you did the right thing.

As I said, use Help → Send Feedback to email the OmniGroup for help on this one.

Cheers,

Curt
