From: Tannie Date: 16:27 on 26 Jan 2005 Subject: iSync must die! I hate hate hate iSync. Below you'll find my report of my latest attempt to sync all my devices. I think have succeeded mostly, but fear monday when I walk into wark and sync... So much hate comes from trying to get it all right,I just have no words for it. The report says it all. I managed to keep patient for about 1.5 hours (doing nothingmore then sync and write down my actions. Special Note: I only synced and did not change anything (unless otherwise noted). I've set up my palm to sync the contactsusing the iSync conduit and set all iSync devices to only sync contacts. To save time. (I do get things like 469 of 766 processed... Lines of information perhaps? Secretely syncing / processing ical anyway) 16:28 Started iSync through palm-sync with .Mac, Black (phone) and Tannie (palm Tungsten T) Syncing only contacts, no calender or todo items 16:31 Conflict! Contacts: add 21 | delete 15 | modify 2 -> Proceed 16:33 Done syncing, conflict resolver. 16:35 Syncing again to resolve conflicts (Black, Tannie and .Mac) 16:41 Conflict! Contacts: Modify 4 -> Proceed 16:43 Done syncing, conflict resolver. Error: Saturday, January 08, 2005 16:43 |Black| Device refused to add a contact (18) Conduit Black generated an internal error NSSyncConduitException (Device refused to add a contact (18)): can't close cleanly the connection to the device. (note: Black thinks it still thinkswhen iSync says it stopped syncing) 16:45 Syncing again to resolve conflicts (Black, Tannie and .Mac) 16:52 Conflict! Contacts: Modify 1 -> Proceed 16:54 Done syncing, conflict resolver. (3 conflicts...) Error: Saturday, January 08, 2005 16:54 |Black| Device refused to add a contact (18) Conduit Black generated an internal error NSSyncConduitException (Device refused to add a contact (18)): can't close cleanly the connection to the device. (note: Black thinks it still thinkswhen iSync says it stopped syncing) Yes, again! 16:55 Syncing again to resolve conflicts (Black, Tannie and .Mac) 17:02 Conflict! Contacts: Modify 1 -> Proceed 17:04 Done syncing, conflict resolver. (2 conflicts...) Again the same thing with black. At this point I decided to turn of .Mac syncing and fix the problems in my addressbook. Strated with 104 cards. Merged 1 and deleted 1. 102 cards left 17:08 Syncing again (Black, Tannie and *not* .Mac) 17:09 Conflict! Contacts: Modify 1 -> Proceed 17:09 Done. error that it couldn't connect to Black (it still thought it hadn't finished the previous sync) 17:10 Syncing again (Black, Tannie and *not* .Mac) 17:14 Conflict! Contacts: add 1| delete - | Modify 3 -> Proceed 17:17 Done syncing, no conflict resolver. (again, Black doesn't like it, I suspect it has to do with a duplicate contact) Merged duplicate contact in addressbook. 17:21 Syncing again (Black, Tannie and *not* .Mac) 17:26 Done syncing, no conflicts! (but oddly enough same error on Black) Addressbook likes how I want it. 17:28 Reboot phone, syncing with just .Mac. 17:29 Done. Addressbook likes how I want it. 17:30 Syncing .Mac and Tannie 17:32 Done! 17:33 Syncing .Mac and Tannie and Black 17:36 Conflict! Contacts: Add 1 -> Proceed (I suspect it's the duplicate one again) 17:37 Done! Conflict resolver, indeed the contact I thought. Resolve it by keeping the one from Black. 17:38 Syncing .Mac and Black and *not* Tannie 17:39 Done! Conflict resolver, again the contact I thought. Resolve it by keeping the one from Black. 17:40 Syncing .Mac and Black and *not* Tannie 17:40 Conflict! Contacts: Modify 1 -> Proceed 17:41 Done! error connecting to black though... 17:41 Syncing .Mac and Black and *not* Tannie 17:46 Done! error with black again (couldn't close connection properly) 17:48 Syncing .Mac and Black and *not* Tannie 17:51 Conflict! Contacts: Modify 1 -> Proceed 17:54 Done! error with black again (couldn't close connection properly) 18:03 Syncing .Mac and Black and *not* Tannie 18:04 Done! error with black again (couldn't close connection properly) 18:04 Syncing .Mac and Black and Tannie 18:07 Conflict! Contacts: Modify 1 -> Proceed 18:07 Done! error with black again (couldn't close connection properly) 18:08 Syncing .Mac and Black and Tannie 18:08 Conflict! Contacts: Modify 1 -> Proceed 18:08 Done! error with black again (couldn't close connection properly) repeat Repeat REPEAT! untill hate grows and phone gets smacked against the whole, iBook set on fire, palm thrown in front of train. Peace returns. Tanja
