Spanning Sync Uninstall

After a recent post about problems with Spanning Sync there seemed to be hope. Alas it was not to be. Following my post there was a comment indicating that Spanning Sync desired to try to make their software work. I spent another several hours getting the data they needed and emailed it away as instructed.

At the end of the day it is yet more time wasted on this product. There are people who test it and never have a problem. So it seems it does work for some, but if it doesn't work you're stuck. Now the trial has ended, the product has been uninstalled (itself a 45-minute process that hangs at every turn) and I'm only haunted by the ghosts of Spanning Sync. Although it's not installed it is still causing sync errors. Fantabilous!

Oh and now sync seems to be completely broken.


Spanning Sync deleted my Address Book!!!

We tried the trial at work, and it did very well until the trial ran out. It asked to resolve syncing conflicts. I didn't realize the trial was over, so I check the box to "use Spanning Sync for future conflicts." Then, I got a lot of notices about the trial being over. Then it tried to run a sync and it ate all the vCards in Address Book. WTF? I had them backed-up on my iPod, but I cannot get them off the iPod! We all now use BusySync, yet SpanningSync still opens-up for scheduling conflicts! How do I get it off my machine??
