I want to kill Apple right now. I did a sync, and for some reason my iCal now has only data from 6 months ago- all of my current appointments are lost!!!!!

I guess this is all my fault for not backing up imporant information, but geez, I've been trying to get iCal/iSync information cleared up for ages now. I hate this program.

From the iSync help file:
"To revert your computer and all other devices to the information that was on your computer just before you performed your last sync, choose Devices > Revert To Last Sync."

I'm sorry to hear that you lost the files but it seem that your copy of iSync is damaged or outdated. It worked pretty flawlessly for me.

If you're running the latest version, maybe you should delete all preferences files and reinstall the app.

I did that a while ago. The thing that is giving me such a headache is all of the hidden caches and such. I helped my friend set up a new iSync app with her new Tungsen and it all works fine. I'm still trying to recover from damage the iSync beta did.

To avoid any problems like mine I would advise everyone using iSync to read this first:
