Just downloaded and installed the Mac OS X software, and I initially ran into
the same
problem you had - no "sync" button, and when I set the watch to "PC", it could
not find a
connection. Fortunately, there's an easy solution: the "read me" file says you
must plug
the USB dongle device in BEFORE you start the program for the first time. I
shut down the
program, made sure the USB device was attached, re-started the program --
problem
solved.
