CHAPTER 5 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Handheld and Your Computer

Tip

When you use File Transfer or Drive Mode, remember to bring your USB sync cable and AC charger with you, so you can connect to other computers.

Using Drive Mode to work with info on another computer

On a Mac computer, use Drive Mode to move files between a computer and your handheld’s internal drive.

If you are at a Windows computer that doesn’t have File Transfer installed—a computer at a hotel or your friend’s house, for example—use Drive Mode to open, move, or copy files on your handheld. With Drive Mode, your handheld connects to your computer like an external USB removable drive.

The computer must support standard USB removable drives in order for you to use Drive Mode with the computer. Most current operating systems such as Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Mac OS X support USB removable drives.

NOTE While you’re using Drive Mode, you cannot use any other feature of your handheld, including using File Transfer or synchronizing. You can, however, continue to receive alerts such as notifications of appointments or new email messages. If you select an alert or attempt to use your handheld in some other way such as pressing a quick button, a message appears asking if you want to continue using Drive Mode or disconnect from Drive Mode to use your handheld.
