HotSync problems

Problem

Solution

I cannot do a
HotSync operation;
what should I check
to make sure I am
doing it correctly?

Check the Windows system tray to

make sure the HotSync Manager is
running. If it is not, open Palm Desktop
software.

Click the HotSync Manager, choose

Setup, and click the Local tab. Check
that the Serial Port setting displays the
correct serial (COM) port where your
cradle is attached.

Make sure the cradle is connected

securely.

I did a HotSync
operation, but one of
my applications did
not synchronize.

Click the HotSync Manager and choose
Custom. Check that the correct conduit is
active.

I am using Outlook
as my PIM, but I
cannot do a HotSync
operation.

Click the HotSync Manager and choose

Custom. Check that the correct conduit
is active.

Check that the correct conduit is

installed. Reinstall the HotSync
Manager and make sure the correct
conduit is selected.

I cannot launch the
HotSync Manager.

Make sure you are not running another

program, such as America Online,
CompuServe, or WinFax, that uses the
serial port you selected in the Setup
dialog box.

Uninstall and then reinstall Palm

Desktop software.
