My Yojimbo library is not syncing properly over the mobileme network.
This problem started to appear when I installed the latest Yojimbo
update. Since my sync is set to automatic, I am frequently given the
option throughout the day, no matter which computer I'm on, to merge,
replace or cancel my sync with mobileme. No matter what I choose, this
window with the above options will pop again five minutes later. How
can I remedy this situation? I have tried reset the library backwards
and forwards on all three of my computers, but the problem still
persists.

Previously, Bare Bones recommended setting sync to *Hourly* over the
automatic setting to work around a bug in MobileMe syncing. Not sure
that bug exists, but to my knowledge, BB still recommends hourly for
syncing.

I suggest you switch to hourly and see if that helps.

Thanks for the tip. I have done this and still have the sync problem
on two computers, but not on my work computer, go figure. They've all
been switched to hourly syncs. Any other suggestions? Thanks for the
help.

Just to add to this- without solving anything (!)

I have a new macbook which will not sync Yojimbo with my existing
iMac. Both machines are running 2.1

This is what I did:

imported Yoimbo data from my back up disk into the new macbook

set up new macbook to sync with mobile me

synced away


This is what happens:

everything else (mail, calendars, bookmarks, etc) sync between the two
machines

Yojimbo data doesn't


..and I can't understand why

Regards

Steve

Your best bet is to contact sup...@barebones.com. They have the experience and knowledge to help you sort this out.

I've noticed that it can sometimes take 24 hours for Yojimbo items to
sync. I don't know whether this is a holdup in MobileMe, or whether
Yojimbo is failing to activate part of the sync process until (say)
it's relaunched.
