Two syncs have to happen; the iPad has to sync the change to the central repository, and the Mac has to do a sync to pick up that change.

One obvious question is whether the iPad was connected to the network when it tried to sync (normally 1 minute after you make a change).

There might be a simpler way to do this, but it seems to me that to get the OF iPad app to sync I have to hit the OmniFocus button in the upper left, then hit the little round gear in the upper right of that menu window, then hit Sync Setup, then hit Sync with MobileMe, then hit the Sync button in the upper right of that menu. Five buttons to manually sync.

Is there a simpler way to manually start synching? And if not, shouldn't there be?
If you are in landscape orientation, tap the sync indicator button at the very upper left corner, above the Quick Entry button. If in portrait orientation, tap OmniFocus, then the sync indicator button just below the OmniFocus button.

And while I'm asking questions ... how come it doesn't automatically sync sometimes? Honestly, there are times when hours pass and some items haven't shown up on the computer from the iPad.
Most likely that the iPad isn't connected to the internet, in my experience.
