I can only find com.apple.isync.plist
tried moving it to the desktop but it still won't open, though now it gives no error messgae
oh nad also i haev isync 1.5 installed and it won't let me install isync 2.1 because it says i have a more up to date version already installed
moved it to the desktop, it won't launch, no application bouncing or anything
moved the .app to the desktop - same problem
tried installing 2.1 - says there is a newer versino already installed
Is there any uninstall software for macs? I was thinking if i can uninstall the entire program (rather than just deleting the .app) it might let me reinstall.

Why don't you Spotlight iSync and see what files come up.
You should find an iSync admin archive, which may be worth trashing/moving.
In fact, if it were me, I'd trash anything thet remotely looked iSyncish, but then again I have regretted that apparoach before.

How much of a pain in the ass is reinstalling? For me, that is a three-day procedure. Your mileage may vary, and it might even be a good solution.

Well, it will take tonight to backup the entire HDD to my PC, then 30mins install of osx, 3hours of patches downloads, and then another 2 hours to installt the old software (i have a copy of everything I ever downloaded to install so at least i don't have to download all those again.) i think I might do it this weekend if i get bored.
I have the same issue. I've been hoping that the Tiger update launched today would fix it, but it hasn't.
I'm not sure how this is related, but I've found info on the net that says that installing the Flip4mac wmv player breaks iSync. How it messes with a completely unrelated application I don't know .. but uninstalling Flip4mac might yield a solution.

iSync crashes
Hi! I tried moving .plist files to desktop, moving SyncServices folder, and many others things...at the end, I tried duplicating iSync.app (right click on iSync.app and select "Duplicate" and it creates iSync copy.app) and it worked!!!
I'm 99% sure that the problem began the day I installed Flip4Mac on my MacBook. Thanks Craig for your help!!!
