Disaster of the day - this time it's work on my office computer being destroyed.

This morning - all OK at home and on iPhone. Sync'd & up to date.
Get to work - get 'incompatible database' message, used 'iDisk' version. OK... looked good.

Then did a LOT of work rescheduling, completing, and rethinking some projects and actions.

Synced on my office computer. Seemed to go OK. (How could I tell - the software went through the motions.)

I've set iPhone sync to 'manual' thinking that I could keep a safe copy there. But I figured - looks good, let's sync.... Uh. oh. Nothing changes on the iPhone!!

Sync on my office computer - BAD MOVE! - lost everything.

Ha ha ha. Joke's on me.

[OK, I was able to restore from the backup...]

Are you using MobileMe in some cases, and the "Advanced/WebDAV" configuration in other cases?

Good question! But, no - my computers are all set to 'MobileMe' sync.

It was only a few days ago, however, that I noticed that my original iDisk sync settings were showing up under 'Advanced', and I changed them then.

iPhone is 'MobileMe' too.

I'm noticing something similar. I've set this up as MobileMe on the computer and the iPhone several times, but on more than one occasion the computer and the iPhone have "spontaneously" changed to "Advanced."

I am loving the power of OmniFocus, but the anxiety over losing track of a task every time it syncs is counter-productive.

Sync does not work/ is not stable/ enters into some strange oscillation/ who knows!

And I'm in some strange oscillating sync universe now.

Changes made on my laptop (at home) are not showing up on my iPhone. (And I'm sure that if I sync'd my laptop after seeing the failure on my iPhone, I would lose my changes (e.g. as at work, yesterday)).

They did show up, earlier today!

I'll 'work around' as usual (i.e. delete various incarnations of .ofocus and re-sync to get a 'good' copy out there)... Ugh.

(Oh yeah, I'm manually syncing and waiting for the sync to finish after every set of changes.)

I have turned off iDisk syncing and cannot seem to keep things in sync to save my life. I've paid good money for the software and am sorely disppointed that I spend so much time every day hacking around and trying to make it work.

This is beyond frustrating.

OF Sync is not reliable.

Disaster of the day - made changes (mainly rescheduling due dates) on my laptop OF, sync'd. Did this a couple of times. Looked good and I thought things were uptodate and stable.

I have an iPhone sitting on my desk. But didn't pay too much attention to it. Sync'd once to bring it uptodate.

Just now, checked off a couple of more items on my laptop OF. And sync'd.

LOST ALL CHANGES! The laptop OF database has reverted to something close to what it was before I started this morning. Except, now I have duplicate entries for periodic items that I had earlier checked off.

I'll have to make all the changes again!
