How to correct an inconsistent data sync error message on Mobile Me?
This is a big priority in my Southern Maryland Realtor World to get Outlook and my new iPhone and new IPad working harmoniously. One data entry and every device knows the scoop is my kind of (you thought I was going to say POOP, didn't you?) one stop shopping data entry system.
I could not get help on the Mobile Me Chat line so I googled the error message I was getting and was lead to these Apple.com directions:
To reset your MobileMe Sync data in Microsoft Windows
- Open the MobileMe Control Panel in the Windows Control Panel.
- Sign in to your account if you are not already signed in.
- Click Sync.
- Be sure there is a checkmark next to "Synchronize with MobileMe."
- Also be sure that each data type you want to sync (such as Contacts, Calendars, and so on) has a checkmark next to it.
- Click Advanced.
- Click Reset.
- From the "Replace" pop-up menu, choose the information you want to reset, such as Bookmarks, Contacts, or all data.
- Choose to replace the data on your MobileMe with data from your computer.
- Wait for the sync to complete. Depending on your Internet connection and on the data you are syncing, it may take several minutes. The status of your sync is indicated at the bottom of the Sync panel.
Additional Information
After resetting, other computers syncing with MobileMe will display an alert the next time they sync the data on MobileMe that has been reset. Generally, choosing to merge is recommended, but if this does not resolve your issue, you may need to replace the data on your other computers with data from MobileMe.
Resetting data on MobileMe will delete all sync data from the MobileMe web apps and any iPhone/iPod touch and replace it with the data from the computer you performed the reset from. Any contacts with a specific ringtone may lose that setting.
Hope this helps! I am doing it now!
