Daylite Syncing- is anybody out there making it work?
 

I've read all the posts on this forum and the majority of users seem to think Pocket Mac is a P.O.S. Initially, I am in agreement. I have a MacBook Pro, Daylite and a 7130c.

Is anybody out there getting this sync to work? When I try, this is what happens:

-Contacts come over without emails
-Tasks come over without due dates at first (I erased everything and when I tried again, completed tasks came over as incomplete)
-Calendar is not syncing at all
-I haven't even been syncing regularly to see if it works through multiple syncs

I know others have had the same issues as me but is there anybody that has conquered this? I do not want to go back to my Treo.

Thanks!

I have it working. Don't know why it's not for you. All I did was change my current sync from iCal/Mail/AB/Stickies to the Daylite equivilents.

Has it worked every time on every sync? I'm just not able to get mine up and running.

Not sure if this will help, although this link talks about some issues with regards to set-up, file purging, etc.

It works now, althouth I have had trouble with the whole thing before. A series of reinstalls and some tweaked data later I have a solid sync going. Not really a solid app. It seems to be consistent now, just have to jiggle it quite a bit

Do you have due dates on tasks? Did you just keep reinstalling and uninstalling until it worked? Thanks!

Youch, I spoke too soon. NO calendar items are syncing. I just switched to using DL and sent all of my calendars over to DL from iCal. I assumed since nothing blew up that it was working. Sorry for the ray of sunshine. I did find this on the MarketCircle forums...

and someone spoke about using a script with automator to export the calendar to iCal and then sync with the 'berry.

Looks like I'm in the same boat as you.

Just DL'ed the new version of Pocketmac:

Can't get it to sync my calendar items with Daylite. Bummer.

roccitman,

Thanks for the update. I was hoping Pocketmac 4.0 would be the answer to my prayers but I guess not. Is everything but the calendar syncing for you?

I have been watching the Marketcircle forums as well. The MC moderator there just posted this: Blackberry Sync and PocketMac - Topic Powered by eve community
I am trying it now
more later...

...back again. It seems to have worked! I am now syncing Daylite calendar with my 7100t. I will continue to let you know how it goes. I'm sitting in bed now and about to slip into a coma.

p.s. Using a PB G4

Roccit- you are the King! I can hardly believe that this might be the solution to syncing with Daylite.

I'm still very nervous to make the switch because it's a pain for me to re-establish my BES connection with Outlook once I jump off.

Could you please keep me posted on how things are going for you? I'm especially interested in how the tasks (categories, subtasks, due dates, etc.) sync and of course the calendar.

Thanks for all your help!

ekang--

Just stumbling through this. Here are my warnings:
~Clean up your data: Make sure and think out your sync process. I am actually syncing iCal/Mail/Stickies/Address Book with DL with my 7100. I created a little bit of a mess with duplication so be careful.

~ Backup your data. Nuff said.

~Remember that the latest version of DL is a beta, so don't trust it completely.

That being said things seem to be working ok. I am not seeing any errors and my calendar seems to be copying back and forth nicely. My calendar mess is more because I have my home calendar stuff mixed in with work stuff that will then get pushed out to the company DL database (garbage night, take your meds, takeover the world, pay the mortgage). The PM log seems to be pretty clean doing what it says. BTW, if you open up the PM log you can watch it update during a sync.

I don't use tasks much and I'm new at DL so I will start keeping an eye on those things to see if there is any corruption. I will add a few tasks to DL, and some to the 'berry and some to iCal and see what happens. I also use Mail Act-On and Mail2iCal to generate automatic tasks so we'll see if we can toss a monkey wrench into things.

I'm online all day, let me know if you have any questions.

Roccit- Thanks again for all your help. I think I am going to take the plunge. Listed below are the steps I'm going to go through; would you mind taking a look and advising any changes? Thanks!

1. Download latest beta version of Daylite 3.1.4
2. Install Daylite 3.1.4
3. Close Daylite and restart Macbook Pro
4. Download latest version of PocketMac 4.0 (from the email they sent me)
5. Clear Blackberry with the tool that is on the PocketMac site
6. Initiate sync with Calendar, Tasks, Address Book (don't care about Notes)
7. Pray
8. Validate data

-I've been reading the thread on the Market Circle forum- do I need to do anything special with Daylite prior to first sync?

That sounds pretty good to me. There isn't anything you need to change in DL (there isn't anything TO change). Good luck, and watch your logs in PM as you go.

Roccit- are your completed tasks syncing over as "Deferred" status?

ekang--have not had time to play, buried in estimate hell. Will try to play later this week.
