How to sync post-MobileMe?
 

Hi, silly me trying to sync my iPhone for the first time since MobileMe went away. What are my options now to sync between my Mac and OF?

In my iPhone OF settings, it indicates OF 1.6.3 as the version.

Thank you,
Vicci

Happy to help! One of the reasons we created the [URL="http://sync.omnigroup.com"]Omni Sync Server[/URL] was to give folks who were previously using MobileMe a place to sync their data. We'd recommend that.

2nd request...Sync w/iPhone post-MobileMe
 

Hi, I posted this last week and got no response and now can't find the post.

I'd appreciate an answer from the OF folks.

What are the sync options now that MobileMe is gone? I do not want to put my information in iCloud or on someone else's server.

Why can't I direct sync from OF on Mac to OF on iPhone when I plug in my phone?

For a guaranteed response from Omni, you need to contact them directly, not post on the forum, where they may or may not see it. 1-800-315-6664, +1-206-523-4152, or email [email]omnifocus-iphone@omnigroup.com[/email].

Brian from Omni did answer your post [url=http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=25814]here[/url].

Hi, I did this and it worked once and hasn't worked since. I used the URL in the email.

Thanks, left them a voice message with questions and answering options.

We'll be happy to help sort this out over the phone, but in case someone has a similar question in the future: Apple gives their own engineers access to programming interfaces that third-party developers such as ourselves don't get to use. The interfaces that Mail, Contacts, and other Apple-written apps use to sync across the wired connection to your computer is one such programming option.

OmniFocus and other similar apps from other developers need to use a wireless connection and talk to an intermediate server. They can't directly access your Mac the way Apple's own apps can.
