It's never easy, even when you have a Mac
I have a MacBook laptop and a PDA phone running Windows Mobile 5. I have diary and contact details on both. I use Missing Sync for Windows Mobile from Mark/Space inc.
I'm not trying to do anything clever, All software is up to date, I am asking every piece of software and hardware to do what it is advertised as being designed to do. basically I want to sync the MacBook and the PDA.
Not a difficult task I would have said, not in this day and age. I've been doing this sort of thing since I had a Psion 3a. Though I didn't have the MacBook in those days.
My MacBook reminded me this morning that it had been a few days since I last sync'd my PDA, so I thought I will just connect the two up, click the "SYNC" button and be on my way in a few minutes.
It is now lunch time and despite many attempts (I lost count after 15) I still not yet been able to sync the two devices together without errors being reported. I've gone through the knowledge base articles, tried all the hints and tips even gazed cross-eyed at the log trying to work out what " unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x20026a44 " means.
So far from what I can make out, the problems appears to be when I modify an entry on one device. The other device complains saying there have been a change.
Sorry, did I miss something somewhere? Isn't that is the whole point of the exercise. This stuff is suppose to make my life easier. We are suppose to laugh at those wandering around with Filofaxes, not envy them. ------ GRUMP!
