Synchronizing Your Handheld with Your Computer

What information is synchronized?

If you use the preset settings, information from all the following applications is transferred between your handheld and Palm Desktop software each time you synchronize your handheld with your computer:

NOTE Information from Expense is synchronized on Windows computers only.

In addition, the preset settings back up system information from your handheld to your computer and install add-on applications from your computer to your handheld.

If you’ve installed applications from the CD, these applications may also be included in the presets for synchronization.

If you want to synchronize applications other than the ones using the preset settings, see the User Guide on the web.

During CD installation, you can choose to synchronize your handheld with Microsoft Outlook on your computer (Windows only). If you do, information from Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos is synchronized with Outlook. Information for Expense, Note Pad, and Media is still synchronized with Palm Desktop software. You can insert the CD at any time to choose synchronization with Outlook if you did not do so during the initial installation.

NOTE You can also set up the VersaMail® application to synchronize with Outlook.

You can synchronize more than one handheld with your computer. For example, family members can synchronize their handhelds with the same copy of Palm Desktop software. Just make sure that each handheld has its own username; Palm Desktop software reads the username and recognizes the handheld during synchronization.Loss of data may occur from sharing the same user name.
