I've suddenly run into a BIG PROBLEM that I don't know how to address. I routinely sync my DJO with my Palm Desktop (at least nightly), but tasks I enter from either the iPod or desktop sometimes don't get carried over to the other. And to make it worse, they also sometimes disappear from the device I entered them on!!
I've watched the CompanionLink screen and the DJO display during the sync, and things look normal until they reach the CL message "Reading tasks" followed by a number, which may be as low as 1 or up to 100 or more - I had 285 tasks total last time I looked. Then everything stops moving. I sometimes get a message, I guess from CL, that the Deja Office connection is lost, and I guess it is. If I get back to DJO, I often see a message that the sync in complete, with the right number of tasks shown -- but the one or two tasks that I've just entered may be missing, in one or both places. This behavior seems to happen mostly with repeating tasks, but I can't be sure it's confined to them.
Something that may be connected: I recently had occasion to restore the Palm Deskktop ToDo list from a backup (first time I'd done so) and when the smoke cleared, all the category assignments were gone from DJO, and set to "unfiled" in Palm Desktop. I've restored them manually, mostly. It was a few days after this that tasks started not to transfer.
This system has been SO reliable in the past that it really shakes me up to see it fail suddenly. Do you have any (quick) advice for me? The settings and devices I use are shown in my signature, and I'll be more than happy to supply anything else that's needed. Thanks for any help you can give me.
