Pocketpedia sync

I have lately been having trouble getting Pocketpedia to sync with DVDpedia. It gets hung up on the screen that says “Synchronizing… Checking if sync needed.” for about a minute, then nothing happens. It synchronizes with CDpedia just fine. I have DVDpedia version 6.2.1. I am using an iPhone 12 with iOS 16.5.1, Mac Mini with Ventura 13.3.1. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Have you read this Topic: No syncing to pocketpedia!
Try the following:

1 - open desktop DVDpedia and hold the Option key and click on the Help menu and this will open a hidden menu
2 - select and click on Export for Pocketpedia
3 - save the resulting For Pocketpedia.pocketpd file to Desktop and Quit DVDpedia
4 - connect your iDevice to your mac via cable
5 - open Finder and click on your connect iDevice in the left column under Locations
6 - let it finish completely the Sync'ing process
7 - select Files on that windows tab bar
8 - select Pocketpedia and right click on each Folder/File and select Delete. However DO NOT DELETE the actual Pocketpedia entry
NOTE: sometime Finder does not immediately show these App's & Files, wait a few minutes.
9 - select the For Pocketpedia.pocketpd on your Desktop and drag & drop it into Finder on top of the Files Pocketpedia entry
10 - eject your iDevice from your Mac
11 - open Pocketpedia on your iDevice and select DVDpedia within the Collections column - it should now start to reload all your entries and cover art, be patient as it may take a while. (from seconds to several minutes)

Hope this helps :D

FineWine, that worked perfectly! Thanks so much! I hope that I won't have to do this every time I need to sync, though.
