I had his problem more times than I can count. My solution: (well, one of them):
First, did you ever do a back up? Can you find it? It should be in library/openbase/backup. If you don't see openbase in the library, just do a search and you'll see those folders at the bottom of the screen--and it will show up. Check that there is/are indeed back up files.
Ok.
In open base manager, highlight & click on your DB and and tell it to stop running. (I forget the right term.)

Then, then, go to configure and rename your stopped DB. Like, um. , [DB name] date or something.

THEN.
back to Daylite. File-->Database-->restore backup. Go far enough back to something that worked. HOPEFULLY you will be able to log in. (you can see I've done this zillions of times). It seems you have to identify a back up date far enough back in time.

If you have your mac doing a dot mac sync, turn it off. Having it on produced lots of problems for me, and things seemed to clean up when I turned it off.

hope this helps.

After getting my new iPhone, and abandoning my old Treo a week ago, I learned about the Daylite upgrade that will allow iPhone syncing. I was SO excited!

...until I downloaded and installed the upgrade. I have not been able to access my database since then. I have poured through all of the knowledge base and forums without any success finding a solution.

I followed the articles I read and I let my laptop sit while Daylite said the database was being "rebuilt"... for over 24 hours... and it never did progress. So I opened OpenBase and clicked on the log for the database. It shows over and over again that the password to login is incorrect. I am the ONLY user of the program. It is ONLY on my laptop, with the old backup databases on an external hard drive connection wirelessly. However, the new local build is located on the local laptop server. I did not alter or change the password at any time.

I emailed support, waited two days, got a canned response, tried the suggestion to login=Daylite Admin, password=Daylite Admin without success, replied and haven't heard back. I've already lost a potentially big sale because I could not access my database to make my confirmation and follow up calls. I am about ready to abandon Daylite and start suggesting that others in my industry not even consider it. I need a program that actually keeps up with current technology!

Any help from anyone would be appreciated, because I'm willing to give Daylite another chance until I find a program to replace it.

Thanks Patricia! I will try it this afternoon after work and report. Glad to know I'm not the only one to have this problem.

Didn't have time to try it today, and probably won't for another couple of days! Arg, this is frustrating.

Shannon,

Did you try 3.5.1? A few people reported a similar situation and support has been helping them get over the issue with workaround.

Other than the "canned" message you said you received earlier, have you gotten anything else from support?

Support has been pretty diligent with these types of cases - they are even working overtime.

AJ,

Since you are so responsive on the Forum, here's an easy one for you.

While syncing my Mac and Treo using Daylite 3.5.1 and MissingSync, I am surprised that Daylite stays open and actually allows me to alter it. Is that a good sign or a bad sign?

Many thanks,
Fred

I think I can answer this one. It is because in 3.5.1, the Treo syncs with apple's syncing services, not directly with Daylite.

Actually, Patricia, I'd already gone the backup database route before I upgraded but wanted to try it again to see if it would work after the newest build. I just haven't had the time. And to answer AJs question about support... I JUST got a response yesterday that they are just about to release 3.5.2, which should fix the problem. That's good since I have out of town company AND I'm house hunting (NO TIME TO WORK ON THIS RIGHT NOW!)

I finally had a little time to work on this. Couldn't sleep! Anyway, I restored the latest backup that I knew worked, and finally got in... but all my calendar data was lost, so I spent almost an hour importing each calendar category from iCal... and now I've got to recategorize them all. Also, all of my projects, smartlists, and reports are gone. What a big inconvenience and devourer of time. I've got a month's worth of new contacts to input that will take me a few hours... and a lot of cleaning up to do. I still haven't gotten word that the new build is out, and frankly, I'm afraid to ever update again!

I'll tell you what, I DID find some fantastic programs that sound much better and seem to have better support than this. I can't afford to be a beta tester with my precious time and money. Now that I've got my database restore and accessible, I'm probably going to migrate all the info to one of the programs I found at: http://www.macsimumnews.com/index.php/archive/macsimum_...for_the_mac_part_iii

Shannon, as you look at other systems, put the "backup" icon on your toolbar and backup, backup, backup.
Good luck as you move forward...
