It is normal to have a few errors on the first sync: fields that may exist in one file and not the other are a common issue. But soon you'll be syncing error free and can then move on to wire up additional tables or start refining your filters.
1. In your mobile file, navigate to the layout selected for syncing in step one of Tab 1 of 4. Enter browse mode. Make a new record on this layout and fill out a few fields – or if you're pulling records only, make a new record in the corresponding table of your hosted file.
2. Still in your mobile file, open scripts and find the script "Zync It - This Table" inside the folder "GoZync".
3. Run that script. In FileMaker Pro you'll see a progress bar as the sync completes. In FileMaker Go you'll see a spinning busy icon.

2. Navigate to GoZyncMobile and click on the "Dashboard" tab. Click "refresh" if you don't see the entity you'd like to sync. Once you do, click "Zync Now" beside the entity you're interested in. (Once you've added GoZync's scripts to your file you can use a Zync - It button in your own layout to sync, but testing from GoZyncMobile just removes one more potential error... that your button calls the wrong script ;-)
3. In FileMaker Pro you'll see a progress bar as the sync completes. In FileMaker Go you'll see a spinning busy icon. If you only have a few records, or nothing has changed since the last sync, you may not see anything as the sync happens too quickly.
Turning on Testing Mode
If you have more than a hundred records to sync, you may want to set Testing Mode to "ON" n the upper right of the dashboard layout of GoZyncHosted.
Testing Mode was introduced in version 3.171
Testing Mode restricts the sync to consider just the last 5 records in your table as having changed since the last sync. This can make troubleshooting much quicker as you don't have to wait for long syncs (such as after hitting "reset" in GoZyncMobile).
Filtering
If you have many hundreds of records to sync you may want to filter down your found set so you only have a couple dozen records in each sync. This will sync really fast and let you run thought a lot of tests in less time.
You can learn more about filtering here: downloading found sets.

Testing
Once you've completed the integration for one table, you can test your sync. While you'll eventually want to test his from your iPhone, iPad, or laptop (offline) to your host/server, you can start testing right now, in FileMaker Pro, with all the files opened by the same copy of Pro.
