Windows XP users: To sync your info, you must install Palm Desktop software from the Palm Software Installation CD that came with your smartphone—even if you sync with Outlook (sold separately) or another third-party application.

Windows Vista users: Before inserting the Palm Software Installation CD, go to www.palm.com/windowsvista where you’ll find instructions and information about using your smartphone and desktop software with Windows Vista.

Upgrading from another Palm OS® device

NOTE If you are setting up your first Palm OS device, skip ahead to Connecting your Treo smartphone to your computer.

You can transfer all compatible applications and information from your previous Palm OS® device to your new Treo 755P smartphone. This includes your calendar events, contacts, memos, and tasks, as well as your application settings and any compatible third-party applications

and files.

When you install the desktop software from the Palm Software Installation CD, some third-party applications may be quarantined because they are not compatible with the Palm OS software version 5.4.9 on your new Treo smartphone. Quarantined files are not installed on your smartphone, nor are they deleted; these files are placed in a new folder on your computer: C:\Program Files\Palm\device name\PalmOS5 Incompatible Apps. (On some systems Palm may be replaced with palmOne or Handspring.)

TIP If you have third-party applications on the device you are upgrading from, you may want to review the info in Upgrading that lists the kinds of apps you do not want to try to install on your new device. The info in Upgrading is also useful if you run into other problems during the upgrade process.
