Using anki for the first time. I synchronized the desktop app. When I click on “Synchronize” on my iphone, I keep getting the same error message: “A network error occurred. Error sending request for url (): connection error: Socket is not connected (os error 57).” Any suggestions? Thank you.

Try – [image] Sync error after update to 24.04 Help A couple of things to try: if media syncing is disabled, does the error go away? If so, it’s likely related to some large file increasing the network timeout in the preferences screen to 2 minutes may help

Thanks, Danika. I had 3 really large shared decks. Deleted them for now, and increased the network timeout to 2 minutes. The synch worked. Appreciate your help.

After deleting the decks, do yourself a favor and run “Check Media” as well. That will show you how to clear out any media that belonged to those decks. (Should be somewhere in the Tools menu.)

Hi, Thanks very much. There were 622 unused files that belonged to the decks I deleted. All in the trash now. Appreciate your help.

Great! If you’re sure they aren’t needed, feel free to run Check Media again and empty them from the trash.
