    Ok. I would suggest rebuilding sync.

    Install/run toolbox extension. Enable advanced mode. Click advanced button. Click force refresh sync option. Wait a bit. Restart MD. Restart iOS device.

    See if that works.

    If not. Same procedure. But click force reset sync settings. Then set up syncing again from scratch. Then disconnect and reconnect ios to the new sync folder.

    Please send a screenshot of the Mac’s Moneydance top section that shows the menu items?

    @Erkki

    Launch Moneydance again and take a manual back up of the file you consider to be the most up-to date . (just in case)

    • Navigate to Extensions->Manage Extensions and install the Toolbox

    • From from Toolbox Options (on top left corner) choose Update Mode.

    • Click Advanced modeagain from the last column (on the right).

    • Choose the option: Force a reset/Push of your dataset to Sync. Wait a few mins. This will reset and update sync with a new consolidated dataset.

    Then navigate to File->Syncing and choose a sync method.
    Preferably, Dropbox Folder (it's faster!)
    - Set or take note of your existing "Passphrase".

    With "Dropbox Folder" Moneydance will just read and write files to your Dropbox folder on your computer, which means that you need to have Dropbox installed and running, but you don't need to be online in order for Moneydance to read and write the changes.

    • Click on Show Passphrase and take note of it. (You will need to enter the same later, on the mobile app)

    Launch the mobile app and select Settings->Syncing via Dropbox->Disconnect. Restart your phone.

    Launch the app again and choose the same file as your computer.
    Enter your Password to match the Passphrase on your computer.

    Finally, enter a "dummy"" transaction on each device and allow a few seconds for them to sync. They should display exactly the same transactions.

    I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions or need more assistance.

    (You cannot turn off syncing and then use force push sync… you have to leave sync on….)

    After te steps below it seems to work, at least Dropbox is deleting files. But I don’t have extension in my version and I don’t know how to get. I will return in case I am having issues. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU.

    Is this an AppStore version ? Maddy, does the AS version remove the extensions menu?

    Erkki, how did you follow the steps if you don’t have extensions and can’t load toolbox?

    @ Stuart Unfortunately I'm not a Mac user and I cannot confirm that straightaway but I will find out for you and respond on this thread as soon as I know more.

    Erkki, your main menu should look like this. What does your look like?

    I'm a fellow user.

    It is my understanding that the App Store version does not have the Manage extensions option due to Apple restrictions - another black mark against using this version.

    As such on this version you would have to manually download and install the extension.

    @All

    We can confirm that dwg's statement is correct.
    In addition, in order to manually install the extensions on the Mac App Store version of Moneydance, you can refer to this article of the Knowledge Base. Specifically, you should follow the steps in the last paragraph.

    Please let us know if you have further questions or need more assistance.

    HI,

    Toolbox installed. The syncing works based on your previous advice.
