Hi there,
I posted a note about my syncing conundrum on the thread up from this, and then realized this is the better place to ask...

I'd heard about problems with Mobile Me when I got my phone two days ago, but I was naieve enough to think that Apple had had time to work out the bugs. I guess they didn't.

I've been trying to sync my Contacts, by adding a new Contact to Address Book on my MacBook Pro, and then syncing to my iPhone.
After the first, successful, downloading of all my Contacts from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone, no new Contacts that I've since added (to my MBP) have appeared on my iPhone.

Syncing not working!

However, I just entered a new Contact on my iPhone. Synced... and what do you know, there's the new Contact in Address Book on my MBP.

So it is syncing... ONE WAY only.

Is this something I can correct in my Mobile Me settings somewhere, or on my iPhone? Or is it still a glitch with Mobile Me, that others are still experiencing?

Thanks for any advice... malch

Any ideas or suggestions regarding this one-way only synching?
It's a problem for me, because I need to sync from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone... I don't really care as much about the other direction.
Thanks for any input/ideas whatsoever,
malch

For all of you who've been desperately trying to figure out my syncing problems, take heart... I was on the phone with an Apple iPhone support guy today, for an hour, and he couldn't solve the riddle.
I'm now simply skipping MobileMe when it comes to syncing my Contacts.
