Subscriptions suddenly lost

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

I've been using Mal Conduit successfully for months - it's a great system - but suddenly, although it appears to be working successfuly, the result is that when I open Avantgo on my Palm Pilot after doing a sync I find that all my channels have vanished, and all I have is a screen saying: "You have successfully nstalled the Avantgo software on your handheld device, but you have not selected any channels. To select channels please visit www.avantgo.com. If you have already selected chanels try syncing your device again."

I've checked on the AvantGo website and all my channel subscriptions are still there.

This problem has - since yesterday - occurred repeatedly on both my G4 and my IMac, and has not been cured by upgrading from v1.0.3 to 1.0.4.

Of possible relevance si that at about the time Mal Conduit stopped working, I "installed some handheld files" (a couple of text documents) on my Palm Pilot using Hotsync, something I'd not done for quite a while.

I've reported this problem to AvantGo - though I predict that if they reply they'll merely say they know nothing about Mal Conduit.

Suggestions anyone?

Cheers

Same issue here. Just noticed tonight. I can Synch wirelessly, but not through Treo's USB HotSynching.

Mine is working now via USB. Could just have been a problem (maxing out?) with a channel of data. We must have had similar subscriptions?

Same for me. I'm using a Sony Clie PEG-TG50. 5MB of memory available. Only 2 subscriptions: AccuWeather.com and Cinemark. I've re-installed the software and set it up properly several times to no avail. Oh well, I'll try it once more before giving up on it entirely.

Whooooops!!! I just discovered that I'd used the wrong USER ID. It works just fine now that I'm using the Avantgo User Name.

Same problem here. - Mike Heinz

It started quite suddenly. I *may* have broken things by syncing with my PC one day, but since then I've done a hard-reset of my Palm and reinstalled from scratch and didn't get any joy.

The conduit loads but doesn't appear to do anything at all - no error messages.

i have the same problem. started a couple months ago. oddly, it will first do what was described above, then on the 2nd try, it will sync perfectly. alternates like this consistently. i thought perhaps it was due to having too many channels, or channels to large, or not enough free space in the internal memory. but after reducing channels, and freeing up space, the problem persists. it is possible that one single channel is the problem, but have not had time to test each one. i emailed avatgo, but of course received no reply. here are my channels.
