Synchronizing information—the basics

Synchronizing means that info that is entered or updated in one place (your smartphone or your computer) is automatically updated in the other, so there’s no need to enter the info twice. We strongly recommend that you sync your smartphone with your computer or corporate server frequently to keep your info up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.

The info from all the following applications is updated by default each time you sync your smartphone with your desktop software:

How each application syncs depends on your computer type and the desktop software you are using, as follows:

Computer type	Desktop type	What syncs and where
Windows	Microsoft	•	Calendar, Contacts, Memos,
	Outlook		and Tasks sync with Outlook
		•	Pics&Videos syncs with
			Palm Desktop
Windows	Palm Desktop	All apps sync with Palm Desktop
Mac	Palm Desktop	All apps sync with Palm Desktop

[ ! ]Before You Begin To sync your info, you must install

Palm Desktop software from the Palm Software Installation CD that came with your Treo 700P smartphone—even if you sync with Outlook or another third-party application. See
