Codebook Sync Disabled - Ideas?

Hi @maslin

This is actually the correct behavior on the Mac side. WiFi sync should always be initiated from the mobile device involved.

To successfully perform a WiFi sync operation, both copies of Codebook need to remain open and unlocked and have the exact same master password.

Here are the steps to perform a WiFi sync:

  1. On Codebook for Mac, go to Codebook Menu → Preferences → Sync Tab, and set the sync preference to “Desktop WiFi”. There should be light gray text at the bottom saying “Listening as (port 57419)” similar to:

  2. On Codebook for iPhone access the sync view through More → Sync, set the mode to Desktop WiFi and tap the Computer row to attempt to find your computer name, currently your sync view should look like this:

  1. Your computer name should show up under the “Local Network” tableview on the next page similar to:

  2. Tap your computer name, which will bring you back to the sync view with your computer name inserted similar to:

  3. Tap start in the upper right hand corner and the sync should begin.

If these steps don’t work, we’ve written up a short set of common troubleshooting instructions here:

From your description, since you were previously able to sync over WiFi and are no longer able to, my best guess is that you may just need to restart your router/devices and re-try syncing.
