Ed, I don't think you will find an authentic 4.3 AS. I am almost certain
the iteration progressed from 4.2 to 4.5.

HTH,

I think you are right. My AS archive directories go 4.1, 4.2, 4.5. Don't
even have a beta directory for 4.3 or 4.4

Glad you have the sync functional again. Now don't go and spoil a good
thing by asking any questions as to why it works now.

Thanks, Sean. This was one of the articles I saw that made me wonder.

I uninstalled 4.5, installed 4.2 - and got an error telling me my
device requires 4.5!!
So I unloaded 4.2 and reinstalled 4.5 - and it connects and syncs
fine!
Go figure .....
