I installed the app today and synced with no problem after entering in the key.
Next, I entered 4 transactions on my iPod while out and about.
Came home and did the steps I thought would work, and nothing is happening.

Here is my console window:

Starting Moneydance 2010r3 (751)
Settings Folder: /Users/cmeier/.moneydance
OS: Mac OS X 10.6.4 x86_64
Java: 1.6.0_20 (Apple Inc.)
svc added: Cheryl_iPod type:mdncsync.tcp.local.
requested service info

Honestly, if you tell me to disable my firewall, I will have no idea as to what you are talking about - I would need step by step on where to find that info and how to disable it if is enabled. I have a Mac running 10.6.4.

Thanks,
Cheryl

   Update:
   Playing around with trying to enter a transaction while both were running, and here is an updated console window read-out:

   Cheryl,

   The first thing I would suggest is what I do to make my iPod touch sync. (I get the same console readout as you listed in your first post.) It's what I have to do every time I sync, but it works flawlessly when I follow this routine.

   1. Open the Moneydance desktop program and open the console window
      
   2. Open the Moneydance app on your iPod touch and wait to see the "requested service info" message
      
   3. Close the Moneydance app on your iPod touch
      
   4. Open the Moneydance app on your iPod touch and wait for about 30 seconds
      
   5. Voila! The sync occurs!

   I have no idea why this works, and we are working on a new syncing method which we expect will be much simpler and more consistent. Please let me know if this makes the sync work for you, if not we'll move on the other other troubleshooting possibilities.

   Angie,
   Sorry it took so long to reply - I've been busy and haven't had a chance
   to really sit down with this!

   This email - the process worked. I will answer your next email next. :)
