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.
