Mac OS X 10.4.7 Special Report: iSync issues
Some users are reporting that devices are no longer properly synchronizing through iSync after updating to Mac OS X 10.4.7.

"I installed the updates that were released when Mac OS X 10.4.7 came out and found out today that iCal has not been syncing with my palm using Missing Sync ever since. When I pull up the settings in missing sync for the Mark/Space Events and Mark/Space Tasks, I noticed that the calendars in the 'Synchronize events from calendars:' are blank."
