I'm going to copy my backups onto a thumb drive, and then nuke my installation from orbit and see what happens with a fresh install from the latest sneaky peek.

GoFarGoGo, before you do that, just try setting the copy of the information on your iDisk aside - inside the documents folder, rename the "OmniFocus" folder to "OmniFocus - Old".

Does sync work now?

That worked for me. I had an recent backup copy of the OF database at idisk. I just deleted that and sync to iDisk finally worked.

Thanks!

Always the voice of reason and restraint...

Hm. Odd. There is no folder named OmniFocus on my idisk. There are old backups of .ofocus docs from two months ago, but nothing recent.

Ah, but trying to move the Omnifocus.ofocus doc dated May 22 doesn't work because it's 'in use', I think I'm getting close....

I can't seem to delete or change the name of this file. How frustrating...

Ok two reboots & one Finder lockup later. I was able to rename the file. Now the desktop client has synced...and ipod says it synced, but no projects or actions.

So now I'll move over into the syncing problem threads and do some reading.

Thanks Omni for helping out today, I know it can't have been an easy day for all of you.

Epilogue: Ok, doing the rubber chicken dance over my computer, updating to these evenings release and resyncing my computer, then resetting the ipod database and resyncing finally made everything show up correctly.

WHooo! Now I can start getting things done! :)

That did it. I had a file on my iDisk with the name Omnifocus. I renamed it and now syncing works. Thanks a bunch.

Finally got mine working, but I had to go a step further. After I deleted everything on my iDisk related to OmniFocus, I still got this message:

Unable to read document.

Old-format transaction file "root=14E791F6-6093-475E-8F5C-EDD95D013904:76D7D552-4607-43AD-B74A-CF92539F67A1.xml" must be upgraded before opening.


Then I deleted all _local_ backup files and finally it sync'd succesfully.
