This software completely screwed up my PDA databases and I have spent many hours working to fix everything it did. Make sure you backup everything before you install this software so you can fix your databases if it does to you what it did to me.

I'll bet that you didn't follow the instructions... - SPI...master...

If you actually READ the intaller instructions, you would find that you are supposed to do a complete and final sync of your device (and .Mac) and then do a BACKUP DATABASE on both your iCal and Address Book (found in each of those apps). ... ONLY then, are you supposed to actually install the new version of MissingSync... THEN, during the first sync with the v6, you need to have the Calendar, Tasks, and Address Book records OVERWRITE the device.

After following the above instructions "to the letter" I found absolutely NO database errors or sync difficulties on my PalmTX and my wife's LifeDrive.
