I’m on syncthing v0.14.5. My network has four nodes. One of these nodes acts as an always-on server that distributes the data to all other clients who are online at different times of the day. Another node is a MacBook with the latest beta version of iOS (Sierra).

I have an issue that most probably was caused by the incompatibility of syncthing and Sierra starting with beta 3 or 4, which somehow vanished with beta 7:

When I try to sync the Sierra machine with the server, the progress bar stops at 100%, tells me “synching” forever, but no data is sent or received (in/out 0B). The server tells me the corresponding info.

Could you guys please tell me what to do? I tried to rescan on Macbook + server, restart the server syncthing process, etc.

**Update:** I found similar reports. Some suggest to remove the index files. Should I do that on ALL nodes in the network or just the server / sierra host? And do I do that on all machines at the same time or in a specific sequence?

Mismatched ignore patterns? A missed .DS\_store or similar file can be worth 0.0023% or whatever and look like “100%, syncing”.

Thanks Jakob!

I checked on MacBook and server. There were _no_ ignore patterns specified.

However, I found in all folders files named similar to .sync-conflict-20160902-115352.DS\_Store

I added an ignore pattern to all machines/synced folders like that

```
  // OS-generated files (OS X)
  .DS_Store
  .Spotlight-V100
  .Trashes
  ._*

```

Nothing changed for the stalled syncing.

There seems to be some interesting side effects to adding the ignores after index exchange now delta indexes have been implemented.

I could be wrong but I think this could be your issue. Try Alex’s solution.

Yes, ignores are crap with delta indexes in 0.14.5. The situation will be improved in 0.14.6 released tomorrow.
