I had setup a sync much like you mentioned and then after using MD on B (and closing), when I opened MD on A it showed all my accounts as zero!!! But after a few minutes they suddenly came in. Then they blinked to zero again for a few seconds and then stabilized. It may take an unusually long time to sync between Macs using iCloud.</p>
<p>However, some of the transactions that I had cleared on B did not show cleared on A. After turning all the sync capabilities off with Toolbox, and promoting the secondary MD data file on B to a primary and moving it to A all is stable now.</p>
<p>Possibly someone more knowledgeable about the inner workings of sync might be able to see a problem in the errlog.txt file. Possibly using some of the file checks of orphan accounts using Toolbox might clean up some hidden errors in A.</p>
<p>To find “errlog.txt”<br>
(Mac OS) Library/Containers/com.infinitekind.MoneydanceOSX/Data/Library/Application Support/Moneydance/errlog.txt<br>
Hold the option key and use the "Go" menu in the finder to access the Library folder.<br>
Or open a finder window, press Command-Option-G (⌘⇧G) and paste in this path<br>
~/Library/Containers/com.infinitekind.MoneydanceOSX/Data/Library/Application Support/Moneydance</p>

Thanks - very useful advice (I wasn't aware of the "Toolbox" extension)</p>
<p>I found that "B" was secondary (I think because it was restored from a backup), so I used Toolbox to change it to a Primary.</p>
<p>I think everything is syncing, but I need to experiment !</p></div>paul
