Ugly Sync Error Message
 

I'm starting to get serious about using OmniFocus... bought a new iPod Touch, and the OmniFocus App for Touch.

Now.. I am trying to sync OmniFocus on my G5 desktop (where I have been using the basic OmniFocus app for quite some time...) and am getting a big, ugly error message that says (as much as I can access on the screen to copy...)

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Success... sort of...
 

I managed to get the iCal syncing to work. I found a thread online about entering a terminal command to disable synching... compressing the iSync folder into a .zip file for backup... trashing the existing iSync folder... and then restarting the computer.

For whatever reason, that worked... and I was able to go through the process of matching up the OmniFocus contexts with iCal calendars... so now I am at the "get the sync settings from your Mac to this device (iPod Touch).

WHERE the heck are the "Share Settings" and "Send Settings" buttons that the instructions in the OmniFocus iPod/iPhone software calls for?

Thanks for the help!

It sounds like you are still using the released 1.0.3 version of OmniFocus, but to sync with iPhone or iPod Touch you need the "sneaky peek" version of OmniFocus, which can be downloaded from [URL="http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnifocus/download/sneakypeek"]here[/URL] (or check the OmniFocus product page and look carefully for the link).
