Sync tries to overwrite database 1x/day [A: that's extremely unusual. Contact support.]
 

Hi,

I'm using Omnifocus 1.10.4 for Mac on two Macs running snow leopard. Both are set up to use Omni Sync service. "Show Clients" shows that they both have synced. But, I have a problem.

The last sync from this Mac failed. I got a message asking whether I wanted to overwrite my local copy, or to not sync. This seems to happen quite frequently: about once per day. What could be causing these intermittent failures, and why is there not a "retry" option?

Sorry for the trouble, ianeiloart! There isn't a "Retry" button because that error message doesn't mean "I wasn't able to reach the sync server" - it means "I looked at the database on the sync server, and it doesn't appear to have any history in common with the database on the device".

Having that happen once a day is [I]extremely[/I] unusual - off the top of my head, I would think that some sort of external process must be messing with one of the databases in order for that to happen so regularly.

The best thing to do here is going to be to contact our support folks [EMAIL="omnifocus@omnigroup.com"]via email[/EMAIL] so we can investigate this with you.

Could be Pomodorable
 

Ah, that could be Pomodorable Task Management Syncing. I'll switch it off.
