Moving Info Between Your Handheld and Your Computer
What information is synchronized?
When you install Palm Desktop software from the software installation CD, a conduit is installed on your computer for each of the following applications. The conduits allow you to transfer information between the application on your handheld and the corresponding application in Palm Desktop software when you synchronize.
NOTE Information from Expense is synchronized on Windows computers only.
If you install the Photos desktop application from the software installation CD, you can synchronize the Photos application on your handheld with the desktop application.
During CD installation, you can choose to synchronize your handheld with Microsoft Outlook on your computer (Windows only). If you do, info from Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos is synchronized with info in the same application in Outlook (Memos is called Notes in Outlook). Information for Expense, Note Pad, and Photos is still synchronized with the same application in Palm Desktop software. You can insert the CD at any time to choose synchronization with Outlook if you did not do so during the initial installation.
You can synchronize more than one handheld with your computer. For example, family members can all synchronize their handhelds with the same copy of Palm Desktop software, or some can choose to synchronize with Palm Desktop software, while others synchronize with Outlook. Just make sure that each handheld has its own username; the desktop software reads the username and recognizes the handheld during synchronization. Loss of info may occur from sharing the same username.
NOTE A single copy of Palm Desktop software recognizes different sets of information for different usernames; so, for example, each username can maintain and synchronize its own contact list. A single copy of Outlook maintains just one set of info, so if multiple usernames synchronize with the same copy of Outlook, they will all share the same contact lists, calendar events, and so on.
