iSync
The Reset All Devices command in iSync can be a useful tool to resolve differences between data on your computer and other devices. However, care must be exercised when using this feature.
When you choose Reset All Devices, data on your synced devices (mobile phone, Palm, iPod, and so forth), is erased and replaced with data from Address Book and iCal. This data can come from the computer or your .Mac (pronounced "dot Mac") account.
Important: Any information on the device that is not in Address Book or iCal is erased when you choose the Reset All Data command.
Other information may also be lost if it is not synced, such as voice dial tags, speed dial information, custom ring tags, and so forth.
For this reason, compare data on the computer with data on your synced devices before choosing the Reset All Devices command.
