I have same same error. The steps I took are as follows;
- Downloaded MobilOrg app for iPhone.
- Created an account on Dropbox.
- Linked Mobilorg to Dropbox account.
- Created test entry in Mobilorg.
- Attempted to sync.
Error returned "Error syncing changes. An error was encountered
while attempting to fetch mobileorg.org <http://mobileorg.org>
from the server. The error was: Unexpected error"
On my Dropbox account, I see:
MobileOrg\.dropbox
But you need to run org-mobile-push from Emacs, and set any
variables it relies on. I forget which, but they are in the
manual.
Ah, so I have to have an existing org-mobile-push'ified ".org" file in
Dropbox prior to syncing? I don't think this is really made clear in the
instructions. I didn't know that there was an org-mobile-push dependency
between Emacs and Mobileorg. I had the impression that Mobilorg could be
used stand-alone.
No, I don't think so. That's why the instructions talk about the
'staging area'.
So my system is: I have my 'real' orgmode files in Dropbox, but
not in my MobileOrg directory. I then have a command in Emacs
that when I press C-c g, my .org files are committed to git, and
org-mobile-push is called to copy them to the dropbox/MobileOrg
directory. I then can sync from the ipod and have them there.
I can make changes on the device, marking items as done and taking
notes.
When I come back to my desk, I use a command bound to C-c p to
call org-mobile-pull. I also have auto-revert-mode enabled for
org files, so all changes simply appear on screen in my org
files.
I'll try this and report back.
