This is a long shot, and probably is not the problem, but if I remember 
correctly, if the Visor itself is at the screen that says something like 
"Sync complete. View Log?", it won't synch again until you get off that 
screen. But I could be way off-base here; this is just a kind of vague 
memory of mine.
