Mobile Me sync problem - especially bookmarks

[sgould]

I decided to sort out and merge the bookmarks on the three computers in our house. MacBook on 10.5.7 and MacMini running the same. Third laptop is not yet done and I've left it switched off so far until I sort things. Sync is set to "Manual".

What I have done so far is sync the Mac Mini with the iDisk. So as there were no Bookmarks synced on the iDisk before the two should be the same.

When I did this I was asked if I wanted to "Merge" or "overwrite". I chose "Merge"

Then I merged the iDisk with the MacBook, giving me all the bookmarks in one place. Again I got the pop up asking whether I wanted to merge or overwrite.

I have worked on the bookmark list on the Macbook and edited out most of the duplicates.


But...

.... when I then try to sync with iDisk there is no pop-up box. So it doesn't ask me whether I want to merge or overwrite. It assumes I want to do a merge as I did before. But I want to overwrite!!

Where can I change/reset this? Doesn't seem to be in the Mobile Me Prefs.

Arrrgh!

Sod's law again!

As soon as I post this I go and have another look and find it!

It is in SystemPrefs/Mobile Me/Sync

Then click the "Advanced" button and "Reset Sync Data" button on the drop down window.

I'd been ignoring this button as it appears on a window that allows you to edit the list of synched computers. I thought that the button only referred to that list.

I think I can sort this all in the morning now
