I would like to use the Moneydance IOS app. I have downloaded it. When I click on File -> Syncing... in Moneydance on my Mac nothing happens. The interface is frozen for a while, ~1 minute, and then nothing. If I click on anything else in Moneydance while it is frozen I see the spinning beachball.

    After this happens, grab help/console and upload that here.

    Console grab as requested attached.

    It looks like Moneydance is trying and failing to connect to dropbox. I believe I synced to dropbox a few years ago but no longer have that dropbox account. The resulting java exception is not being handled.

    Install/run toolbox extension.
    Update mode
    Advanced tools menu
    Force reset sync settings
    Then try again
