More on My Struggles With Missing Sync

Have I mentioned before that Missing Sync for Palm OS Version 5 is the worst application I have ever had the misfortune of owning? Oh yes, I have.

Here's another example why. At least twice a sync (which I almost never do, because it takes about 30 minutes), I see a dialog box like this:

Missing Sync Puzzling Dialog

Does anyone who doesn't work for Mark/Space know what this means? ... because I sure as crap don't.

So why haven't I uninstalled this yet? I'm too lazy / fearful of the extrication process and I know that I'll have to spend days cleaning up the three years worth of duplicated events in my wife's calendar to do it right. Actually, Missing Sync didn't create just duplicate events -- it seems to me to have created duplicate-duplicates for each and every un-timed repeating events. This software makes my wife mad at me.

Actually I get this same problem. There's nothing on their support site about it; I'll have to email them when the holidays finish and see if I can get them to sort it out. I'm way tempted to change back to plain old jpilot.

I have just completed "Liberating" my sister's computer from Missing Sync Version 5. Mark/Space has very thoughtfully included an un-installer.

After running the uninstaller, re-installed Palm Desktop, and re-setting up iSync, things are back to normal.

I am really sorry I "upgraded" too. It takes forever to sync, and I get those same dialog boxes (support says just hit "allow") and they re-categorize all my events. very disappointing!!
