In August of 2011, I evaluated this software (paid edition,) and gave it ½ star due to long standing, and glaring, problems with syncing iCal's repeating (chained) events.
In short, SyncMate duplicates, and/or fails to properly assign events to specific weekdays, for recurring events (e.g, every two weeks.)
Editing a single event (such as canceling it) in the chain of repeating events, is not synced to the phone; the event remains on the phone calendar. To make things worse, putting same event back in iCal (e.g., a single cancelled instance, of a repeating meeting, was reinstated for that weekday) causes duplicates in the phone calendar; two identical events (same calendar) are listed, running side by side, at same time.
It took time, and repeated effort, to elicit a response from the developer; the developer was apologetic and asked for more data (which I supplied.) I was assured that issue was forwarded to actual development team.
Seven months after submitting the bug report, inclusive of log files generated by the program, nothing was done to remedy the problem. No response to my latest e-mails asking for update.
Hence, ½ star for failure to address glaring, long standing issues through two version upgrades (3.5 and 3.6) and reprehensible, if apologetic, customer support.
I want to emphasize that the issues are unrelated to the iCloud or CalDav; the bugs were present before appearance of either change in iCal.
Background:
MacBook Pro 5,2 8 GB RAM, Momentus XT HD
Lion 10.7.3
SyncMate 3.6.1701 (latest as of 4.26.2012)
iCal, as per Lion install.
Phone: Blackjack II with WM 6.0
All deemed compatible by Eltima

Really? Two people, each with a Mac computer, each with a Google acct, and each with an Android phone: we want to sync Google calendar and contacts with iCal and Address Book. How out of the ordinary is that? Isn't that what they advertise?
I have asked very direct, specific questions, and received generic solutions which ignore my questions. Everything results in fixing the messes that result.
Uninstalling everything and starting over was no different.
I wish I could rate this lower!
Anyway, sorry for this inconvenience, our Support representative has forwarded his reply to you again, please, check your inbox and let us know if you received this email.
We are looking forward to your update.

It has old and boring interface, but it's ok if you need to get your contacts on your Mac.

"Which device would you like to sync?" I choose another Mac.
I Type its name, just as it shows in my network connections, I type my password as usual.
I "Continue"
and get: "Can't connect."
Whereas ChronoSync finds and syncs the other Mac just fine.
Try to connect your second Mac using the following instruction http://wiki.eltima.com/user-guides/syncmate-macos/synchronization-with-mac.html

However, just noticed that Image Capture is no longer seeing my card reader or any cameras.
After a lot of troubleshooting (complete OS install), have found this software to be the cause of this.
Has anyone else had this problem?
OSX 10.6.2

Please, try to perform the following:
1. Connect your camera to your Mac and make sure that your camera is in PictBridge mode.
2. Launch ImageCapture manually and see if your camera is recognized. Please, let us know the result(support @ eltima . com).
3. If ImageCapture doesn't recognize your device even after you launch ImageCapture manually, please, try to disable USB module in SyncMate while working with ImageCapture ("Enable/Disable USB module" button in SyncMate preferences - http://wiki.eltima.com/user-guides/syncmate-mac-os/main-menu.html)
Thank you.

If I connect the JAMin via USB while Syncmate is open, nothing happens, as if it doesn't recognise it at all.
But if Synmcate isn't open when I connect the JAMin via USB, the system seems to recognise a windows mobile device and Syncmate automatically opens.
But like in the first instance, after Syncmate opens nothing else happens, as if the phone wasn't connected at all.
And in both cases the phone doesn't do anything at all (other than start charging via USB)
Still searching around for a fix but if anyone knows, advice would be appreciated!
