How I Screwed Up My Database With MobileMe Sync
[B]Update:[/B] I figured out that this was just my screwup, however I have a new question on my followup post.
[B]Original Post: [/B] Hey guys, Check this out. Had omnifocus for a long time. I've just recently purchased a new mac and sold my last one. I was using omnifocus on my last mac, and syncing with mobileme. When I installed omnifocus on the new mac, I just used a backup file to restore everything. From there I did a ton of manual work and cleanup, and have been saving as normal. I recently decided I should get it syncing with mobileme again, so I have another backup (and can sync with my iphone). I went into mobileme, inserted my mobileme information, and hit sync. When I hit sync im pretty sure it said that it would backup the database from mobileme on my computer, and replace it with my current database. However after I did that, it went to my omnifocus screen, and it appears like I am now looking at a ton of tasks and stuff from atleast a couple months ago. I'm guessing this means that when I synced it replaced my current computer database with the mobileme one? What is the process here, I haven't closed omnifocus yet and would like to revert to whatever I had saved as of earlier in the day. I'm sure the backup files are somewhere so I should be okay, but just wondering what the usual mobileme sync path is like? Is this what is supposed to happen? I assumed it would sync the data on my computer, and overwrite mobileme. Thanks a ton for your help. |
Update:
This is the message I saw when syncing: Replace your database and start syncing? Your current database will be backed up on your computer, and replaced by the sync database: I somehow just read this wrong. Not sure what's up with my brain, it pretty clearly states that the synch database ie ON MOBILEME , will replace my computer database. To fix my screwup, I just hit "revert to database backup". Figured I'd just document this here, incase someone else that messes up like myself, could find it. [B] Anyone know how I get my current omni database, to erase over the mobileme one?[/B] |
File->Replace Server Database followed by a careful reading of any sync related messages generated by your iPhone next time you sync ;)
