unsynced
Out of step
Unsynced describes things that aren't synchronized—not matched in timing, not connected to a shared system, or not updated to reflect the same information.
Digital files are unsynced when local and cloud versions differ: My phone shows unsynced changes from yesterday.
Audio is unsynced when it doesn't match the video.
The word appears almost exclusively in technical contexts.
