The exclamation point in the menu bar icon indicates a sync conflict (page 321).

Show Data Change Alert: This pop-up menu lets you set an alert when iSync is about to change more than a certain pre-set percentage of your information. The alert will give you a chance to cancel or allow the sync.

Reset Sync History: Resets the sync history, but does not delete any data. The next time you sync, iSync behaves as if syncing for the first time, asking if you want to merge or replace information (as shown on page 319).
