If you use the iBank finance software for Mac – and you have a new device (maybe the new iPad?) AND you sync through MobileMe AND you restored your new device with a backup of an old device – then you will need to take a few steps to get them to talk to each other.
Just typing in your MobileMe account and password will not be enough.
First, on your new device – open the iBank app and navigate to Settings in the iBank app (the icon appears on the bottom left and looks like a wrench).
Then, the third item down is called Syncing. It should say syncing via MobileMe.
Tap this and then on the next screen tap edit in the upper right hand corner.
At the bottom of the screen you will see a red bar that says “Delete Sync Settings”.
Tap this and delete your sync settings.
Now open up the iBank app on your Mac.
Go to File->Set Up Device for Syncing.
Click iBank Mobile (you will see a choice at the top of the screen for iBank Investor or iBank Mobile).
Then click on Set Up New Device on the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
In the drop down window that appears click on Next.
Select your device from the list.
If it does not show up, make sure that the iBank app is actually running on your device and that you have navigated to the “Sync with iBank for Mac” screen in the Settings section of your iBank Mobile app as described above
!!IMPORTANT!! This section will only appear AFTER you have deleted your sync settings as described above.
From this point on – just follow the onscreen instructions.
Your device will generate a four digit code that you will have to type into the iBank for Mac app. This will pair the devices.
You will then need to type in your MobileMe account and password on your Mac.
And then you should be good to go.
This is what worked for me. No guarantees that it will work for your setup.
I don’t work for iBank by IGG Software or Apple.
