MLO crashed. Now will not WiFi sync with Android.

[Dale Shepherd]

I have MLO pro on my android tablet.  I installed the desktop version and synced the two.  Overnight, the desktop version locked up and I had to reboot the PC.  When I reopened MLO, all my tasks were gone and when I tried to sync again, I get the error message "ERROR Cannot find paired file on PC. Please open paired MLO data file on PC.  If it does not help, close all MLO  instances on PC, run MLO on PC again and open file paired with this device profile.  I have done so, but it did not help.  How do I get this fixed?

Hope you got this figured out.

A tip for others. I find that if I have an issue (say, messing up my MLO login password) MLO opens a new default file with no data (like word). Usually going to the recent file list and grabbing the file I want solves the problem.

I don't know that Dale experienced the same problem and quite possibly not.

Most likely culprit seems to me is your desktop's IP address changed after the reboot.  MLO/A's wifi sync depends on IP address for the pairing so if MLO/D's IP changes, A won't find it.

You can check your desktop's IP by opening a cmd windows (aka "DOS" window) and type 'ipconfig'

Then check in tablet in wifi sync settings what IP it thinks your computer is at.  These should match.

If not match, break the wifi sync and set it up again and problem will go away.

hth.
