{{The following will help you understand what is happening when you sync your PasswordWallet data:}}
{{There are a few ways to sync an iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) with a Mac or Windows:}}
{{To synchronize with any of the above methods (starting with the device or computer as noted above) do the following:}}
{{A wizard will appear and will walk you through all of the steps required to sync.}}
{{After successfully completing the synchronization wizard, PasswordWallet will automatically save synchronization settings with a name. To sync again with the same settings, just select it.}}
{{Settings can also be modified. When modifying settings, PasswordWallet will step you through each step of the wizard with your previous settings filled in and ready for changes.}}
{{Errors when syncing with a device or computer:}}
{{Try the following:}}
{{Errors when syncing with Dropbox and WebDAV:}}
{{Try the following:}}
{{To move your file back and forth between your computer and device, run "PW" on your device and tap "Backup & Restore".}}
{{If your data is missing from your device and you have no backups, run the PasswordWallet Backup Extractor on the SAME computer you've previously synced through iTunes with. The extractor is available for Mac OS X and Windows.}}
{{Download the "PasswordWallet Backup Extractor" to your computer.}}
{{Synchronizing files between your Mac and Windows Mobile devices requires MissingSync for Windows Mobile. MissingSync maintains the connection to the device while the PasswordWallet conduit (portions of which are also built in to PasswordWallet) performs the synchronization. PasswordWallet does not have to be running for the synchronization to execute.}}
{{PasswordWallet for Windows Mobile will execute on any Windows Mobile 5 device, be it PocketPC or Smartphone. To begin, plug in your device and confirm that it is recognized by MissingSync. Select "File" menu → "Synchronize" → Windows Mobile}}
{{Push "Install" under step 1. PasswordWallet will communicate with your device, determine if it is a PocketPC or Windows Mobile device, and install the correct version on your device. After you push "Install", MissingSync may have a question for you. Push "Default" if it is confusing.}}
{{Push "Install" under step 2.}}
{{Push "Configure" under step 3. Add and remove files to synchronize with the remote device. Drag and Drop works. Or you can push the "+" button to add a file or the "-" button to remove a file. Files that do not exist on the device will be copied to the device. Files are never copied off the device by the conduit.}}
{{Run MissingSync and push "Synchronize".}}
{{We recommend MissingSync for Palm as it is a modern Cocoa app still maintained by Mark/Space. HotSync from Palm has not seen a major update for over 5 years. Our conduit and synchronization work best in MissingSync. To begin, select "File" menu → "Synchronize" → Windows Mobile}}
{{Enclosed in PasswordWallet's application is an automator action. Automator will find the Synchronization Action automatically. There is nothing special to do. So long as PasswordWallet is installed in your Applications folder, Automator will find it.}}
{{After running automator, the action can be found under "Library" -> "Utilities" -> "Synchronize Files". The action will have a PasswordWallet icon.}}
{{The automator action, for input, requires two files. These are most easily fed by the "Finder" action named "Get Specified Finder Items". The automator action expects only two files. The automator action will generate an error if exactly two files are not fed to it.}}
{{A sample Automator action can be copied to the desktop from the "File" menu → Synchronize → with Automator}}
{{To use this menu item, open up a saved PasswordWallet document. When open, select this menu item to set up the synchronization. In the sheet that is presented, select the "Remote" file to synchronize with as well as the synchronization type. The original file will be closed temporarily and will be automatically re-opened. If the remote file is also open, it too will be closed and reopened automatically. You may be asked for the master password for either file when they reopen.}}
