Ok, I have re-synced once, replacing all data on my portable with data from Mobile Me and the service is set to sync automatically now and merge data.

So why does a message come up periodically saying that sync needs further attention and asks me if i want to merge data, select another option from a drop-down box (like replace all data on this computer) and require me to hit the sync button in this dialog box again?

I know this is all supposed to work transparently, but I must have something wrong somewhere?

HELP!

anyone know?

I am experiencing the same problem. I have tried 'merge all data' and 'replace data on computer' yet I still get this prompt every hour requiring me to select an option before it will sync.

When MobileMe was first released I signed up. At that time I started to use "Automatic" Sync. I had some initial problems so I switched to Manual Sync for a while. Then when to Daily Sync and I think I am now on hourly Sync. Haven't had any problems since. Really not sure why and have not went back to testing Automatic. I just thought at the time that there was really no reason for the Automatic for my needs. If I felt I needed something ASAP I just did a Sync Now. Anyway, I think since then most of my stuff gets Pushed (I think). You may want to try Manual Sync until you get everything working properly.
