The Desktop Wifi sync option in the Preferences dialog is greyed out. How can I debug why?
I’ve tried reinstalling using the msi and made sure that the option to install WiFi sync was ticked, but it hasn’t made any difference.
I probably did install originally with that option ticked, but was expecting that reinstalling and selecting the option would have fixed it.
Hi @hsenag
Desktop WiFi Sync is initiated from your phone/mobile device. The behavior you’re seeing is correct (The sync menu grayed out on Codebook for Windows when Desktop WiFi mode is selected). Sync is a bi-directional operation, so the records from your mobile device and desktop are merged (being careful not to duplicate identical entries) and copied to each device involved in the Sync operation. Here’s a link with screenshots and instructions on how to perform sync operations: Getting Started with Sync
Could you try initiating the WiFi sync from your phone/mobile device following the instructions provided in the link and let me know if you’re able to get your data synced?
It’s the option to select Desktop WiFi mode in the Preferences dialog that’s greyed out, not the Sync menu. I see a grey radio button for that option, whereas the others (Dropbox/Google Drive/Local folder) is fine.
I tried initiating from my phone but it couldn’t find my desktop and even when I entered the IP manually it couldn’t sync with it.
Hi @hsenag
I’m very sorry for the misunderstanding on my part, I should have read more carefully. Could you take a screenshot of your installation folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Zetetic LLC\Codebook so we can see if any files are missing?
Sorry for the delay - here’s the output of dir /s (let me know if you really need it as a screenshot, but I guess this has the same info):

Thanks for getting back to me with the contents of your installation directory. It appear that the directory doesn’t have the Zeroconf dll files which should be installed when you select the WiFi option during installation. Could you try going into Add/Remove Programs and “Change” the installation of Codebook to modify it to include the WiFi option?
After this modification, let us know if the Mono.Zeroconf.dll and Mono.Zeroconf.Provders.Bonjour.dll files are present in your installation directory. If they are, attempt to WiFi sync again and let us know the result.
Thanks! That did indeed fix it. I guess if the option was already disabled in a previous install, then selecting it during an upgrade doesn’t have any effect.
