Losing data during syncs.
 
I'm going nuts here.

I keep entering actions into a project on my Mac, only to have them disappear after syncning.

I suspect it has to do with this message that I keep getting. Could someone explain what this means in plain English when I see it on my iphone. I tried starting over with OF on the iPhone and resetting the database and syncing again. Even starting fresh I keep getting this message. What does it mean and what should I button should I press?
[INDENT]Your database couldn't be synchronized because the database on the server appears to be totally unrelated to the local data base. Which database would you like to use?

[/INDENT]Maybe I need to know a bit more about how the synching works. Which way does it go in which circumtances. What happens if a change gets made to my mac and a different change gets made on the iphone before a next sync, should both those changes get transferred? In other words what is the protocol for the order of synching? I hope someone can follow what I'm asking here.

I can't get these two to line up no matter what I do.

I'm also frequently getting this message on my mac OF
[INDENT]Your database couldn't be synchronized, because the copy on the server has been reverted since the last sync.
[INDENT]This was [/INDENT]most likely caused by restoring from a database backup. Which copy of the database would you like to use? The other database will be saved in your database backup folder.[/INDENT]
What steps could I go through to get what I have on my computer to show up on the *&^) iPhone OF?

I'm getting into a similar state. Database on the server keeps being "reverted" and I have to choose local or server copy.

Hey gadget doctor,

Here is the [URL="http://forums.omnigroup.com/showthread.php?t=8615"]answer[/URL] that finally got me out of it.

Enjoy the synchage.
