Please feel free to get in touch or post here if you have questions.
For method one, please paste the following into Terminal.app (found in the Utilities subfolder of the Applications folder on your hard drive):
killall SyncServer
Then, press return. You may get a 'no such process' response. That's okay. That just means that SyncServer wasn't running when we told it to stop.
Next, enter the following command into Terminal and press Return again:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/SyncServices/*
If no error messages appear, you can quit Terminal. (If one does appear during the second step, please copy it into a message to us at the address above.) The second command totally resets the Sync Service database, forcing it to rebuild everything from scratch. |
...then perhaps I can help you reset only the OmniFocus sync information without destroying sync data for you other applications. I did the following:
0. Close OmniFocus.app
1. cd ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata
This appears to be where the Apple stores the sync data for all syncing applications.
2. grep -ri omnifocus *
This showed me which clientdata files related to OmniFocus. I got this output:

This line caught my eye: "e91660c392db590ccb318d50e0089cc12c0874ba/clientname.txt:com.omnigroup.OmniFocus"
I guess that this was the sync data just for OmniFocus, so I tried deleting it.
3. rm -fR e91660c392db590ccb318d50e0089cc12c0874ba/
Your folder name will differ. I hope there's only one folder with a clientname.txt file that matches OmniFocus. If I saw more than one, then I would probably delete them all and hope for the best.
4. Re-open OmniFocus.app.
You should see that the sync settings remain, but have no OmniFocus tasks on your iCal.
5. In OmniFocus: Sync with iCal.
Voilą.
I make no warranty, but I hope this helps you.
