This morning I launched OmniFocus on my first gen iphone and it hung while trying to sync with Mobile Me. It was synching fine yesterday. So I rebooted the iPhone and now when I try and launch OF it says it's loading then returns to the home screen without launching. Any ideas?

Try rebooting the iPhone and see if it helps. I've had similar problems with other apps and when I upgraded to v2.0.2 of the OS it helped (which mean that my iTouch rebooted)

Check out the "will not launch" item on our troubleshooting page and see if that helps any.

First I moved old data to archive to reduce the size of my database. Then tried to launch OF on the IP and no launch.

Then I rebooted the IP and deleted OF of the IP and then reinstalled from iTunes. But tried to launch and same symptom - "loading ..." then back to the home screen.

Running this build of sneeky peek.

Product: OmniFocus-1.1

This is frustrating. I was so looking forward to using this app on my iPhone.

I'm not sure what else to suggest. Have you emailed our support ninjas at urgent@omnigroup.com? It's much easier for them to trouble-shoot in one-on-one email conversations, than here in the forums.

I emailed the support ninjas but haven't heard back yet. I believe they are busy.

Hi,
My OF on the iPhone had the same behaviour yesterday. After a few returns to the home screen when trying to launch OF, I decided to reboot iPhone. It got stuck on startup screen. Not very happy....

The whole thing began with an OF sync on the iPhone not ending happily.

At home I had to reset the phone from iTunes, since it did not get passed the startup screen when forcing reboots. The good thing is that you can restore from backup. It took perhaps an hour of waiting and fiddling before I got the thing to become my iPhone again.

Hopefully things will stabilise
cheers,
ceffe

You really shouldn't recommend this except as a last resort...

"It is possible that your iPhone or iPod has gotten into a confused state. Try turning off your device by holding down the Home and Sleep/Power buttons at the same time for approximately 5 seconds, then turn it back on by pressing the Sleep/Power button."

... to the OS this is the equivalent of unplugging your desktop while it's running. Resetting like this should only be done after power cycling, re-syncing, and other less invasive methods of troubleshooting.

This has been happening to me for the last 2 days. Very frustrating.
