iPhone & iPodtouch Reunion sync problems?

[martha]

"While data from your iPhone is synced back to the database on your desktop, if you’ve made changes to the desktop data and accidentally sync it back to your iPhone, any changes you’ve made on your iPhone will be lost." This is a quote from a review in MacWorld. Is it true? If so, is this a bug that is being fixed?


I still don't have an iPhone nor an iPodTouch because supposedly iPhone is coming sometime this year to Israel. But I might just opt for the iPodTouch, since I never use a cell phone in any event. I avidly read anything concerning Reunion and these instruments for the time that I will purchase one, hence my question.

But I might just opt for the iPodTouch, since I never use a cell phone in any event.I'm the same, Martha, so I got the Touch. It is a great toy in itself, and with Reunion on it, useful and delightful in equal measure.
Your quote from the review does not describe a bug to be fixed. It's just that the process is different in one direction from the other: you can (a) add bits from your Touch to the main file, but when you update in the other direction, then (b) the whole file on the Touch is over-written. Therefore if you've added stuff while out with the Touch, you need to do (a) before you next do (b).

Ahhh, I see what you are saying Michael! In other words, it was just carelessness on the part of the user that made him lose data on his iPhone, because first anything in the iPhone/iTouch must be transferred to the computer and then one can update the information on the phone/touch! Good to know!

Many thanks!
