    Have you tried uninstalling the app, restarting the device and re-installing it by any chance?

As far as syncing goes, it updates quickly except for the fact that it says there are 19 files it is updating - and is apparently always doing so.. I have no idea which 19 files or why 19.

I have not tried uninstalling and re-installing the App and will do so tonight. Thanks for that !
