Synchronization Finishes But Information Does Not Appear Where It Should

1.Make sure you’re synchronizing with the intended desktop personal information manager (PIM). The Palm Software Installation CD enables you to choose whether to synchronize with Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook for Windows. Reinsert the installation CD and select Change your sync method if necessary. If you use a different PIM, you need to install third-party software to synchronize. For more information, consult the company that makes the PIM.

2.If multiple Palm OS devices are synchronizing with your computer, make sure you are synchronizing with the correct device name. If information is not appearing in Palm Desktop software, make sure the correct device name is selected in the User list on the toolbar of Palm Desktop software.
