<p>Install / run latest toolbox extension.</p>
<p>On all non master datatsets (ie your sync copies). File / new. Create a new dummy dataset. Close MD</p>
<p>On all iOS devices. Click the settings cog and disconnect. Kill app.</p>
<p>On master dataset<br>
1. Set sync to iCloud.<br>
Run toolbox. Open MD folder. Open sync folder. REMEMBER THIS LOCATION.</p>

<p>Restart md. Set sync to Dropbox.<br>
Run toolbox. Open md folder. Open sync folder. REMEMBER THIS LOCATION.</p>

<p>Restart MD</p>

<li>
<p>Toolbox. Enable advanced mode. Advanced tools. Select<br>
‘Force reset Sync settings (This resets all Sync settings, changes your Sync ID, and turns Sync off. You can then re-enable it for a fresh Sync)’</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Restart MD. Your sync has now been disconnected and sync relationships killed.</p>
<p>Now open the folders from points 1 and 2. There will be folders with looooooooong numbers. Delete these folders. Or rename them to something else for now and delete later.</p>
<p>Now on master enable sync. Wait. Restart MD.</p>
<p>Now on other computers, MD file/new/open sync folder. Select the dataset you just sync’d. There should only be one. Repeat for others.</p>
<p>iOS. Cog. Connect. Again there should only be one.</p>
<p>Now check those folders again. There should just be one new loooong number sub folder (the is the new sync)</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/554153722022-08-20T12:55:25Z2022-08-20T12:55:25ZSync: (re)start fresh<div><p>Lastly. Go back to the other NON master sync copy computers, launch finder, delete the old datasets. The date/time will be older than the dataset you just created by doing file/new / open sync copy.</p></div>Stuart Beesley (Mr Toolbox)
