Leopard OS users that would like to synchronize their Daylite database (contacts, task and appointments) with a clean Address Book and iCal database, follow the steps below:

1) Create a backup of your existing Daylite, AB and iCal databases.
(in Daylite select File -> Database -> Quick Backup - for the Address Book select File -> Export -> Address Book Archive... - for iCal select File -> Back up iCal...)

For iPhone Users ONLY:
Warning, the next step will delete ALL of the data on the iPhone - make sure you have a backup of everything on the computer before proceeding!
Reset your iPhone to factory settings (settings -> general -> reset -> erase all content and settings).

2) Ensure that you are logged into your Daylite database
- Go to the Daylite menu bar and select Preferences... -> Synchronization
- Turn synchronization 'Off'
- Close the preferences window and exit the Daylite application (shortcut keys [apple] +q)

- This should create a blank Address Book database with only an 'Apple Computer' and default user contact card

- Exit iSync

7) Launch Daylite and login to your database
- Go to the Daylite menu bar and select Preferences... -> Synchronization
- Turn synchronization 'On'
- Proceed with the Synchronization setup and complete it (if applicable, ensure that "I synchronize with an iPhone or The Missing Sync for Palm OS"box is checked)
