resynchronize

Match timing anew

To resynchronize is to synchronize again—to restore timing alignment after it has been lost.

The term appears frequently in technical contexts: devices resynchronize with servers after connectivity lapses, audio and video tracks resynchronize after drifting apart.

My phone resynchronized with the cloud once I got signal.

The prefix re- emphasizes restoration of a previously established coordination.
