Just purchased DTTG, and ran the first sync (Mac, DTP) on 2 databases. The sync seems to work fine, recognizes my wifi network and the databases I selected (including the Global Inbox).
Yet, after it finishes, the databases on the iPhone (IOS 5) are empty, despite the fact that there is information on the Mac.
Might I be missing something?
Thanks,
Simon

Have you added documents to the Mobile Sync groups in your databases?
