Strange, scary syncing between iMac, MacBook Pro, and iPad Pro was created by pauhana658
I've been using idoceo for several years now on the iPad Pro. When idoceo for the Mac was released, I immediately downloaded it and synced my data from the iPad to my iMac and MacBook Pro. No problems.
Recently, I bought the new MacBook Pro and tried to sync the data from the iMac to the MacBook Pro. Didn't happen. Created some classes on the new MacBook Pro, then tried syncing again. This time, all of the old classes on the iMac were deleted, while the newly created classes on the new MacBook were synced to the iMac. I was actually sitting in front of the iMac and watched as the old classes disappeared and the new classes appeared.
Worse, the iPad data is a disorganized mish-mash of old and new classes. Folders are out of order and many classes are out of their folders.
I'm not sure what to do at this point. I need all three devices to display the same data, both old classes and new classes. Is there anything I can do to restore classes (and order) to the three devices?
I've attached three screenshots. The first is from the iPad Pro showing the disorganized sync, the second from the M1 MacBook Pro showing just the new classes, and the third from the old MacBook Pro (with wi-fi turned off to prevent syncing) with the old classes that I need to keep.
