HotSync problems

I cannot perform a HotSync operation. What should I check to make sure I’m doing it correctly (continued)?

I did a HotSync operation, but one of my applications did not synchronize.

On a Mac computer try these steps:

1.Make sure HotSync Manager is enabled. If it is not, double- click the HotSync Manager icon in the Palm folder and enable HotSync Manager on the HotSync Controls tab.

2.If you are using a USB cradle/cable, disconnect the cradle/ cable from your computer, and then reconnect the cradle/ cable and restart your computer.

3.If you are using the optional serial cradle/cable, double- click the HotSync Manager icon in the Palm folder and then click the Connection Settings tab. Make sure the port selection matches the port where your HotSync cradle/ cable is attached.

On a Windows computer, click the HotSync Manager and select Custom. Check that the correct conduit is active.

On a Mac computer, double-click the HotSync Manager icon. From the HotSync menu, select Conduit Settings. Select your user name from the User pop-up menu, and check that the correct conduit is active.

I am using Outlook as my PIM, but I cannot do a HotSync operation.

I cannot launch the HotSync Manager.

Click the HotSync Manager and select Custom. Check that the correct conduit is active.

Check that the correct conduit is installed. Reinstall the HotSync Manager and make sure that the correct conduit is selected.

Reinstall Palm Desktop software and select the option to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook.

If you are using the optional serial cradle/cable, or if you are performing a HotSync operation using a modem, make sure you are not running another program, such as America Online, that uses the serial port you selected in the Setup dialog box.

Make a backup copy of your Palm Desktop data, and then reinstall Palm Desktop software.
