I just got a new laptop (PC) as my old one (Mac) decided to go to the great apple store in the sky. When I downloaded Anki and tried to sync I got the weird message message seen below and now all of my pictures/screenshots have been replaced with blue folders w/ question marks in them. I could really use some help if anyone knows how to fix this.
The screen shots and pictures show up just fine on AnkiWeb

What happens when you try to sync again? Does it sync to your phone or other device?

It syncs fine on my old senile mac and on my phone (android). The screenshots showing up in my phone have always been a little screwy since I got the app though. But otherwise it is fine everywhere else.
 
You've tried syncing again and you get this same error each time?

Have you tried uninstalling+reinstalling and then syncing with the same/latest version of Anki on all devices?
 
I did try that and it helped on the decks I made. I had to delete some of the decks I got from other people though and re-download them. So right now most of the screenshots are back. Although it still likes it still likes to make me choose to sync down or up occasionally when I clock the sync button.
