Replace iPad database

tailwheel

I'm trying to replace an existing iPad 1Password database with the contents of my Mac database. Every time I set up sync, the two databases are merged. If I restore the Mac DB I must re-authorize the iPad and again it merges the two. I've tried changing the iPad sync settings from "Automatically" to "Manually" and checked the "Replace information on the iPhone" but those settings are lost when I restore the desired DB on my Mac.



Can anyone help?



Thanks

Welcome to the forums, tailwheel!



If you really have all the information you need on your Mac, the simplest solution would be to just delete and reinstall the app on your iPad. Then there will be nothing to merge.



Note that following this procedure will erase any data stored in the 1Password app on your iOS device, so you'll have to set up your master password and Dropbox syncing again. If you do not sync with Dropbox, you will want to make sure to backup your data before performing this procedure:

Once you have your data backed up (either synced with Dropbox or a special backup as outlined above) you can remove 1Password by pressing and holding on the 1Password icon until all the icons start to jiggle. Then you can click the X in the top left corner to uninstall 1Password. Once 1Password disappears, you can press the home button to stop the icons from jiggling. You can then either re-sync the 1Password app over from your computer, or download a fresh copy from the App Store (note: even though the button still says "Buy," you won't actually be charged a 2nd time).



I hope that helps. Please let me know.



Thanks!
