    I have a copy of my Tap Forms database on my work Mac, and on my home Mac. I’ve noticed that syncing has stopped working — changes I’ve made to both the data and the database structure on my work Mac are not showing up at home. (This has worked seemingly flawlessly for years.)

    How can I try to diagnose what’s going wrong?

    Thanks.

    Hi Greg,

    You could try picking a document from one of your Macs and copy it across to the other Mac and see if that solves the issue. That way they are now identical documents again. Try rebooting too.

    Thanks,

    The next day, the documents were properly synced without me having to do anything special. Not sure why it hadn’t happened earlier.

    iCloud can be slow and finicky sometimes. I don’t know why. Glad it resolved itself.

    In my case, syncing via iCloud just stopped for only ONE of my DB.s. It is still working for another.

    I need to get the other one working as well.

    I saw an elaborate method for fixing this, but, I cant find it now. Perhap[s someone can pint me too it

    I have tried deleting my DB on the iPhone, and copying back via Airdrop.

    I did get the DB ok, but, syncing still didn’t work.

    Regards

    Maybe try disabling iCloud Sync for that document on all your devices, click the Delete from iCloud button on one device. Then Delete the document from your iPhone. Then re-enable iCloud sync on your Mac. Wait for it to finish syncing. Close the document and open it again. One more sync cycle will happen. Close the document again and then use the Send Document command to send it over to your iPhone. Enable iCloud sync there.

    That should do it.
