How do I get Sync to iPhone working?

LicenseKeeper for iPhone gets its data from LicenseKeeper for Mac. You will need to download and install LicenseKeeper on your Mac and populate your database before syncing.

On your Mac

Sync to iPhone uses Dropbox to move data into the cloud so it is accessible from LicenseKeeper for iPhone. Dropbox needs to be installed and running on your Mac in order for sync to work. I recommend that you turn on the "Start Dropbox on startup" option in the Dropbox preferences so it's always ready to sync when you need it.

When you're ready to sync, press the Sync to iPhone toolbar button or select the File > Sync to iPhone main menu item. Sync to iPhone is a manual process so you will need to do this each time you want to update the data on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Depending on the size of your LicenseKeeper library, it may take some time for Dropbox to copy everything into the cloud. You can monitor its progress by watching the Dropbox icon in your main menu or enabling Growl notifications in the Dropbox Preferences. You can also watch as files are sync'd by opening your Dropbox folder in Finder.

On your iPhone

Once Dropbox is done doing it's thing, you'll need to launch LicenseKeeper for iPhone on your device running iOS 4.1. If you haven't configured Sync yet, tap the Settings icon on the bottom toolbar of the main view. Select the Sync item and then tap the Dropbox button. You will be prompted to Link or Sign in to your Dropbox account.

If you have Sync configured in LicenseKeeper for iPhone, you just need to tap the Sync button on the bottom toolbar to initiate the Sync process. LicenseKeeper for iPhone will connect with Dropbox and retrieve your library. Again, this is a manual process so you'll need to tap the Sync button to check if anything needs to be updated.

Dropbox Status

If you have followed the instructions above and sync is still not working, it may be that Dropbox itself is having problems. You can always check if Dropbox is up and running normally on their status page: http://status.dropbox.com/.
