Syncing three devices

signalmountainmart

<div class="IPBDescription">Not getting this straight</div>I've had 1PW for my Mac. Today I got it for my iPad and iPhone. I must be doing something wrong because on the iPad I see everything that's on my Mac, but I don't see any way to add things from my iPad.



On the iPhone, all I see is that I can add, but I can't see any of my data. There did seem to be one anomaly when I was setting up on the iPhone. I got to the point where it told me to put the secret answers that I was seeing on the screen into 1PW on my Mac, the same way it did when I installed on the iPad. The problem was that the screen to enter the secret words never appeared. It had appeared for the iPad.



I'd appreciate any clarification about this.



Thanks,

Welcome to the forums, signalmountainmart!



I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble syncing. Please update 1Password for Mac to the latest version as we have made some changes with regard to syncing. (1Password > Check for Updates…)



Once you have verified that you are running 1Password for Mac 3.5.4 (1Password > About 1Password), let's continue.



Before I go too far, I just want to mention that we now offer a method of syncing that is fully automatic, does not require you to even be near your computer, and is our recommended method of securely syncing.



With Dropbox syncing, you can keep 1Password up to date from across town or across the country — anywhere you have an Internet connection. You Mac doesn't even have to be turned on!

I would strongly advise going with Dropbox syncing. It is more robust and just as free as Wi-Fi syncing. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' />



If you would prefer to stick with manually syncing via Wi-Fi, please read on.



On your Mac, if your iOS device is already listed in the sidebar under the SYNC section, please remove it by right-clicking on it and selecting "Delete…"



IMPORTANT: Because of the Bonjour networking service that Apple provides for Wi-Fi syncing, please restart your Mac and iOS device before proceeding further. You can restart your iOS device by holding down both the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears.



After restarting, please open 1Password on your Mac and iOS device.



On your iOS device, go to Settings > Sync and turn WiFi Sync ON, then follow these steps:



1. Tap "Allow New Connections"

2. 1Password on your iOS device will display two secret sync codes.

You’ll need these in a minute.

3. On your Mac you should be prompted to enter the codes automatically

4. Click "OK" and begin configuring your sync options.

5. Click "Sync" to perform a sync operation.



If you are still stuck, please take a look at our [url="http://help.agile.ws/1Password_touch/sync_problems.html"]Wi-Fi Sync Troubleshooting Guide[/url].



Please let me know how it turns out, or if you have any additional questions.



Thanks!
