Common sync problems

Data appears outdated

You're seeing old information that hasn't updated with recent changes.

Use Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac) to hard refresh your browser.

Look for sync indicators in the app - some changes may take a few minutes to propagate.

Clear your browser cache and cookies, then log back in to force a fresh sync.

Sync errors or failures

Synchronization is failing with error messages or not completing.

Check your account permissions and ensure you have the necessary access rights.

Contact support if errors persist - provide the specific error message for faster resolution.

Not syncing between devices

Changes made on one device aren't appearing on others.

Cross-Device Sync:
  • Ensure all devices are logged into same account
  • Check that sync is enabled on all devices
  • Verify devices have internet access
  • Restart apps on all devices
  • Check for app updates on all devices
Account Verification:
  • Confirm same email address on all devices
  • Check account status and permissions
  • Verify billing status (sync may be limited on free accounts)

Sync is very slow

Synchronization is taking much longer than usual.

Performance Factors:
  • Large amounts of data to sync
  • Slow internet connection
  • High server load (check status page)
  • Many devices syncing simultaneously
  • Background processes interfering
Optimization Tips:
  • Sync during off-peak hours
  • Close other bandwidth-intensive apps
  • Ensure stable, fast internet connection
  • Consider upgrading your plan for faster sync

Checking sync status

How to check your sync status:
