Synchronization

Synchronization

Synchronization backs up the information from your smartphone onto your computer and vice versa. If you ever need to perform a hard reset or otherwise need to erase all your information on your smartphone, you can synchronize your smartphone with your computer to restore the info. Similarly, if your computer crashes and your Palm Desktop info is damaged, you can recover your info by synchronizing with your smartphone. To make sure you always have an up-to-date backup of your info, synchronize frequently.

This section describes synchronization between your Treo smartphone and a desktop computer running Palm Desktop software. You can also synchronize the information on your smartphone using Wireless Sync or other third-party applications. See the separate documentation for Wireless Sync or other applications for information on features and configuration.

Before you attempt to synchronize, make sure you’ve installed the desktop synchronization software from the Palm Software Installation CD.

Tip

Every device needs a unique name. Never synchronize more than one device to the same device name on your computer.
