Synch port issues on iPhone...

Post by bobmac1547 »

My iPhone wont get rid of a particular port configuration for sync that is no longer valid.
It's xxxx (192.168.0.2:21108) as seen on the iPhone EPIM

When I do the sync wizard on the PC, it defaults to port 21109. When I try to change it to 21108 to make the iphone "happy," I get an error that I can't use the same port twice. 21108 is being used by synch to a different iPhone (another member of the family).

How can I get rid of the iPhone insisting to synch on port 21108, I have already uninstalled and reinstalled EPIM on iPhone but that did not work. I also deleted and re-established the synch on EPIM-Win and that did not work either.

HELP!

Simply click on the string that displays your PC's IP address with the 21108 port number on your phone and select the option with the 21109 port.

I should’ve been more explicit. I don’t have that option now since I uninstalled and reinstalled the iOS version. And anyway, why is it showing me anything before I start the wizard on the PC? I would expect all of the port information to not exist on iOS until I run the wizard on the PC.

I basically want to start fresh!

If you want to start fresh, remove all existing iOS syncs from WinEPIM. There's no need to reinstall either the iOS or the WinEPIM versions.

That worked...kinda...
The problem is that now both of us have both ports on each of our phones. As a result, we have to manually select the correct port each time.

Is there ANY way to have each iphone display the port that IT uses to sync?

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to do that.

Thanks for the clarification.

Is this an iOS limitation, or an issue with EPIM.?

This feature will require further development in EPIM for iOS.

Thank you for your honesty! It’s a rare thing these days from developers.

I’m sure it’s not a priority for you, but when you can get this thing fixed, it would not be a nice little grace note.

Thanks again
