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

Did You Know?

When you transfer files using synchronization, the files are always placed in the corresponding folder on your handheld—for example, the Music folder for MP3 files or the Documents folder for Office files.

If you transfer files using File Transfer, save them to the corresponding folder so you can easily locate them—or copy or create your own folder structure to organize your project files any way you like.

When would I use each method?

The method you use to move info onto your handheld depends on the type of info it is. Here are the methods to use with the most common information types.

Information in Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Memos, Note Pad (Windows only: Expense, VersaMail®) Use Palm Desktop or Outlook (Windows) to enter information on your computer. Synchronize to transfer the new or updated information on your computer to your handheld.

Applications (PRC or PDB file) Use Quick Install from within Palm Desktop (Windows) or drag the application to the Send To Handheld droplet icon on your desktop (Mac), and then synchronize to install the application to your handheld.
