Mark/Space announces the Missing Sync for Blackberry

This package, promised for delivery by the end of the first quarter of 2007, will require Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later and a Blackberry device sporting version 4 or later of the Blackberry OS. It will reportedly support these devices, and may support others by the time that it ships:
• 7100 series
• 7130 series
• 7290 from Cingular and T-Mobile
• 7250 from Verizon
• 7520 from Nextel
• 8100 series: the Blackberry Pearl
• 8700 series
• 8703 from Sprint
• 8705
• 8707 series
More pre-release information is available here:

Information Appliance Associates, with the help of Research in Motion, continues to offer PocketMac for Blackberry at no charge, available here:

That's been discussed extensively by engineers at Mark/Space, but it's not nearly so simple a fix as you would imagine. When the process is reversed through the synchronization framework, unintended consequences of such programming create addition issues.
The problem is the inherent limitation of the Palm OS itself, and until Palm corrects—if ever—this OS issue and modifies the manner in which such events are displayed in its calendaring application, they we are all stuck with it.
A combination of weekly or monthly data views on the Palm and a short notation of the ending data of such an event in the Note: field in iCal can quickly alert you to the start and end data of a multi-day event, and—therefore, its duration—on a Palm device. To avoid synchronization of any and all events, or to term the process 'useless' because of this issue, indicates that you're not sufficiently adaptive to use this technology.

Mark/Space releases version 4 of the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile OS

Mark/Space has released the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile version 4, which offers many feature improvements. Among them, likely the most important is support for the Windows Mobile 6 operating system.
A full list of what's new in this release is available here.

I installed the beta version of Missing Sync last night. It seems to be working well (contacts and calendar). Note that only Bluetooth connections are supported and you must read the detailed instructions for getting this to work.
I have yet to try a software installation.
I tried running Activesync 4.2 within Virtual PC 7 but it was hopeless so needed a Mac solution.

The Missing Sync for Palm OS v6.0.4 won't run with my Palm Tungsten E2

Having problems with Palm iSync on My iBook with 10.4.11 I bought The Missing Sync.
I removed Palm Desktop and installed Missing Sync. However sync won't start when I press the HotSync button.
Is my Palm Tungsten E2, running Palm OS Garnet v. 3.1.1 too old?
If so, can I upgrade it?

No, there is nothing published - that I am aware of - other than the Missing Sync User Guide that you received [as portable document format file] when you purchased the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
There is some developer documentation available from Apple, but it has little direct bearing on anything like the issue you are seeing. Your crash logs should have provided an indication of what was going on, and - using them - Mark/Space should have been able to identify your issue pretty easily.
It's very difficult to troubleshoot unusual issues remotely. Common problems - which can be easily identified - are readily corrected just by following the instructions posted by some knowledgable person here in the Apple Discussions forums. Given the unique circumstances you report of total failure following the installation of the Missing Sync, it's very likely that the actual culprit in your configuration is NOT the Palm desktop, iSync, .Mac Sync, the Missing Sync for Palm OS or your Treo 600. Something unique about your configuration is likely responsible. Trying to eliminate the variables, though, is not an easy task.
One relatively easy way to troubleshoot such issues is to create a new user, reinstall the Missing Sync and attempt to synchronize using that new user account. If that process is successful, you'll immediately know that something involving your existing user account is responsible for the issue.

Palm Tree 755p + iSync/Missing Sync for Palm/iSync Conduit 1.2

I'm lost! Being stuck with a new Palm Treo 755p instead of the iPhone until my contract runs out. How do I get my Treo to sync with my Mac? There's iSync, iSync Conduit 1.2 and even Missing Sync for Palm. I'm willing to pay anything just to get things to sync with the Treo & iBook. But, after reading anything and everything I can find even on Discussions ... I'm more confused than ever.
Can anyone tell me what the real difference is between Missing Sync for Palm vs. iSync & iSync Conduit 1.2?
If I had that rebate check from uncle Sam maybe I'd go out and pay off Sprint to get out of my 2 year contract and then buy an iPhone, LOL. Oh, that's right we don't get the check until summer
Any help is appreciated.

OK, I finally broke down and purchased "Missing Sync," after waiting for Apple to fix this problem. I'm sorry to say that "Missing Sync" does NOT solve this issue completely. It will sync the Address book, but will NOT work with iCal.
Apparently, "Mark/Space" (the makers of "Missing Sync") are aware of the problems, have identified the problem as Apple's, and reported it to Apple. Here are some of the issues noted on the "Mark/Space" web-page...
"This article describes situations under which The Missing Sync may report errors or perfomance issues. One error message is specific to iCal (part of Apple's Mac OS X operating system) and describes errors from iCal that are affecting the ability of The Missing Sync from performing sync functions properly."
"In certain situations, The Missing Sync reports an error message titled 'iCal Sync Errors'. This error is often caused when iCal is attempting to share data with Sync Services. Although this error has little to do with handheld devices, it affects the ability to sync data to or from those devices as Sync Services functions are compromised."
"THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO APPLE, INC. BY MARK/SPACE."
"Errors that are not reported in The Missing Sync log may be found in the Console.log file."
"Here are some of the error messages you may see in the Console:
iSDSqliteRecordMapper
SQLite locking issue
iSynceConcreteSession
NSInvalidArgumentException
ICalExternalSync
ISyncInvalidRecordException
These error are generated by Sync Services and reported to The Missing Sync."
So, for those of you hoping that "Missing Sync" will solve the problems we are having with various hand-helds, and/or cell phones, it doesn't completely. I am a huge fan of Mark/Space's "The Missing Sync" and have used it many times throughout the years. It's a great piece of software that does a whole lot more than iSync ever has, but it does NOT solve all of the problems that are being reported all over this forum in regards to iSync issues and hand-helds/cell phones.

Anyone using "Missing Sync for iPhone"? Any alternatives?

I have had enough trouble with Mark/Space software's Missing Sync for iPhone 2.0 that I'm pulling my hair out. It is consistently finding conflicts and just keeps popping them up on the screen, and the conflicts are jibberish that make no sense.
I had this trouble with earlier versions of this software, and it digs so deep into your system that even when you're installing software, it will pop up, which scares me as I don't want other apps running while doing something like this.
Now I updated to 2.0, because I thought maybe it would be resolved. No such luck. Now, programs randomly crash saying it's "Missing Sync" app that is crashing, etc, etc. I need to get rid of this program but I want something that is similar: A way to keep/download my call logs and text messages.
Just curious if there are other programs out there that don't run deep in your system, etc.
I've tried and tried to get this resolved from Mark/Space, but their support is abysmal, no answers about what's going on.
Any insight would be great, thanks

Do I need to buy Missing Sync for Palm to get memos to work

Do I need to buy Missing Sync for Palm to get memos to work for my palm? Every thing else worked just fine, but my Memo Conduit which is Disabled Conduits now.
Brian

Memos using those conduits are stored in and access using the Palm Desktop.
I too think that the Missing Sync for Palm OS is a vastly superior way to synchronize contacts, events, memos, tasks and other data that iSync is, but you can simply restore Palm Desktop memo synchronization if that is all you want to do.

The Missing Sync by Mark Space

Does anyone have any experience using the Missing Sync with the iPhone? Does it work with with syncing notes?

jbarrows, I have just helped a friend with Missing Sync for iPhone, and it was a dissapointing experience. Their website does not make it explicitly clear ([see here|http://www.markspace.com/missingsynciphonenotes.php]), but two-way note synchronization is NOT supported. Here's the deal with note synchronization:
(Information valid as of Feb 15, 2008, pre-iPhone SDK release, but presumably valid until further notice from Mark/Space and likely until summer '08 when developers can vend their wares.)
[Missing Sync for iPhone by Mark/Space|http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_iphone.php] does NOT sync notes From Mac TO iPhone, but rather only syncs notes created on the iPhone to your mac, readable on Missing Sync's Notes app or a few other apps.
This was so disappointing to my friend that I negotiated with Missing Sync to refund her the purchase price, which they did do. They are a great company, but the MSiPhone product does not, in my opinion, provide the needed functionality. This is not their fault, however. I believe with the SDK kit out, by summer we'll see full note syncing along with the other basic functionality that should be enabled in a smartphone device of it's caliber--search, to-dos, etc.
If you feel moved, you can make a suggestion to Apple developers about the iPhone note syncing capability [here|http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html]. Employees do monitor these boards, but it's best to use the Feedback mechanism.
There are Web-based applications which can serve as good (temporary?) work-arounds for your problem, however. These WebApps can be found [here|http://www.apple.com/webapps>, most are in the Productivity section [here|http://www.apple.com/webapps/productivity>. All are web-based, meaning you can access them from a WebApp on your iPhone through Safari, and on your desktop via a web browser. You can put this WebApp on your iPhone-homepage to make it convenient to access on the iPhone (it will give you an option to do so when you decide to download the app, and you can move things around on your home page by pressing and holding a homepage item for 3 seconds, at which time all the items will start to jiggle, and you can move things around).
My friend was deciding between three WebApps for her noting needs:
[PogoNotes|http://www.apple.com/webapps/productivity/pogonotes.html]: a clean and simple interface, but does not offer many options. She chose this option.
[Listingly|http://www.apple.com/webapps/productivity/listingly.html]: a more powerful but less intuitive and clean interface--many different kinds of lists and notes.
[Noter|http://www.apple.com/webapps/productivity/noter.html]: a simple but less clean interface in my opinion, doesn't offer many options.
Do post back other questions. ~jeremy

Gave up and bought Missing Sync for Palm OS

I finally gave up on Leopard ever being able to sync directly with my Palm Treo 650 and bought Mark/Space's Missing Sync for Palm OS ($39.95).
After an hour or so of experimenting with Missing Sync, I'm happy that my Treo and Leopard-loaded Mac are in accurate sync.
It's been very frustrating that Apple and Palm have not fixed this.

today the support person at palm suggested that i purchase missing sync if i wanted to use my leopard mac with the palm (she said they are working on a fix, but don't know when it will be out) -- so i am probably going to do that. how difficult was it to get missing sync to work?

Alternative for Google Sync for BlackBerry Storm 9500

Hi, recommend an alternative for Google Sync for BlackBerry Storm 9500 without BES / BIS, thank you!

from GMail, you can export your contacts and your calendar events to a CSV or XLS file.
then using the Desktop Software, you can synchronize those files to your device.
That being said, using a BlackBerry without BIS is having a very incomplete BlackBerry experience.
The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

. It's not clear to me if the default sync for calendar is the iphone or my mac (shows 82 modifications). I want it to default to the mac but the wording suggests the iphone. Also, I don't see any way to do the syncy

I'm having trouble with a sync alert. It's not clear to me if the default sync for calendar is my iphone (3G) or my mac (shows 82 modifications). I want it to default to the mac but the wording suggests the iphone. Anybody know the default device and if it can be and if the other can be selected if desired
Also, I don't see any way to do the sync on an individual entry basis for calendar. Looks like it will only do all of them at once. I'd like to go through them one by one to confirm which entry is correct.
Thanks
PS This message ("Syncing with [OWNER'S NAME] iphone will change more than xx% of your calendars events or todos on this computer) only started when I recently updated my OS.

Okay, so my friends think it is funny to change the passcode on my iPhone.
Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

Unable to sync with 'the missing sync'

i just downloaded an app to sync my pam pre with my palm desktop, but it only lets me sync with outlook. palm desktop is not even an option. how can i fix that? i dont use outlook, i use palm desktop as my primary organizer.

I think you're right. The Missing Sync web site doesn't mention Palm Desktop.
You could investigate some other sync products. Some of these list Palm Desktop as a supported sync destination:

LIS - To get the data for the missing data for the infostructure S906

Hi
We have performed an unicode conversion In our SAP ECC 6.0 system, after the conversion, the infostructure S906 (copy of S006) was not updated for the period 22nd June to 25th June 09.
Then we regenerated the infostructure S906 using the tcode MCS/ on 26th June and after which the update rules are working correctly in S906.
Now when we run the SOP report for this week, the data is missing for the period 22nd June to 25th June 09.
We have gone thru the note 64636 - to setup the infostructure from the begining, which needs more downtime.
Is there a possibility to get the missing data for the above period only, instead of setting up the infostructure from the beginning.
Thanks & Regards
Senthil

You did not tell us what kind of update are you using. Some transactions (e.g. OLI1) allow to run it by posting date; others (e.g. OLI9) for a range of the documents. You can find what document numbers were created in the period of question and then run it for them. Although I would recommend the full rebuild.

Moving from missing sync to blackberry desktop on 8330

currently using missing sync on my curve 8330. just downloaded the blackberry desktop for mac software. is there anything i should know before switching over?

Hey bradg01,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
I can definitely help you out.
1. Make sure you have all previous synchronization programs removed before you install
BlackBerry® Desktop Software for Mac.
2. BlackBerry® Desktop Software for Mac does not support synchronization with iCloud.
3. What data will you be synchronizing and what programs do you use? (Entourage, Outlook, iCal, Mac Address Book)
Let me know if you have any more questions. I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Missing Sync for Entourage 2008 or I Cal?

There are well known issues when using Entourage 2008 as the default calendar. Missing Sync has a work around that links Entourage to ICal, however, this is not a stable fix, and rarely works all the time. So the question is: Should I default to ICal as the primary calendar and forget Entourage's calendar function for syncing events while using Missing Sync?

Were you able to find a solution to your problem? I use Entourage as the default calendar and used ICal Cleaner to get rid of all the duplicate appointments that were being created. I then forced iCal to replace everything in Entourage. Everything worked fine for a few months until I purchased a new iphone. Now the diary appointments keep disappearing and no-one seems to be able to figure out why. I'm just wondering if something on the new iphone is making it unstable.

Tungsten T5 iSync, HotSync, Missing Sync for iCal, Mail and Address Book

I have just been given an old Palm Tungsten T5 and have been looking at the various options available to make it do what I need with regard to syncing it with my G5 PPC iMac with 10.4.11.
I use the T5 only when I am away (from the iMac) and travelling and would like a set- up that allows me to sync, in this order of priority:
iCal, including annual events such as birthdays, and differently colour-coded calendars and, if possible, to dos although these are less important
Mail
Address Book, in which I really only have e-mail addresses
According to some old threads on the subject, Missing Sync appears to be the program of choice for syncing iCal and Address Book, but not Mail. Instead there appears to be something called Mail.App Conduit 2.0.1 requiring at least Palm Desktop 4, and presumably HotSync.
Is there a single program that will sync all three of these Mac applications effectively? If not, am I going to have to (buy and install and then) uninstall Missing Sync and Palm Desktop (or HotsSync) alternately?
Is iSync a real option?
Or is there some clever way of using one or more programs to start with and then switch over to just one?
I would be grateful for any advice as to how to deal with this. Thank you.
Nick

I don't know if you can do this with the Centro. I should have mention that I was talking about webOS (Pre and Pixi). To sync with webOS you need Mac OS 10.5 or later for iCal, and 10.6 for Address Book.
