I must say I am having no luck or long term reliability in syncing across devices. If I have a database with changes only on mac, then all is fine. If I then add new records on iOS then at random times, the sync will stop working and in the latest case, corrupt the Mac version. It is at the point now that I I click on a search, it crashes, and then when it reopens it just crashes again because it defaults to the previous selected search.
The latest problem saw me set up 150 records on the mac, all syncing nicely and reliably. I added six new records on the iPad today, and these all synced back to mac and iphone as well with correct record count and photo of the record in the list. I can see and open the 6 new records on iOS, but as soon as I select any of the 6 new records on the mac, immediate crash. Any search selected on mac also immediately crashes, and gets stuck in the infinite crash loop.
I have deleted the file on mac and sent the iPad file copied directly between devices to mac and it still has the same issue. There is no issue on either the iphone or ipad opening any of the records.
It is getting to the point where I have to pick a master device for the record updates, and not jump between devices to update or add records as the sync randomly just plain corrupts things.
BUMP.
Brendan, it is still doing this with one of my forms. Anytime I add records to the ios version, it crashes my mac version. If I am unlucky enough to be on a saved search that causes this, then there is no way i can see how to restart the program as it starts on the crashing saved search. INFINITELY
Is there a way to tell it to start not using a saved search that was the last used one. I would rather not completely uninstall the mac version for a third time and restore from a mac backup. I am starting to lose my sense of humour, and the loss of ability to use my ios version to add records is disappointing.
Can you try updating to the latest versions? 5.0.2 for iOS and 5.0.3 for Mac.
