HotSync problems
Problem
Solution
I cannot do a 
HotSync operation; 
what should I check 
to make sure I am 
doing it correctly?
■
Make sure the cradle/cable is connected 
securely.
On a Windows computer try these steps:
■
Check the Windows system tray to make 
sure the HotSync Manager is running. If 
it is not, open Palm Desktop software.
■
Make sure you selected Local USB or 
Local Serial, as appropriate, from the 
HotSync Manager menu.
■
If you are using the optional serial 
cradle/cable, make sure you selected the 
correct serial port on the Local tab in the 
Setup dialog box. It should be set to the 
port where you connected the cradle/
cable.
On a Macintosh try these steps:
■
Make sure HotSync Manager is enabled. 
If it is not, double-click the HotSync 
Manager icon in the Palm folder and 
enable HotSync Manager on the HotSync 
Controls tab.
■
If you are using the optional serial 
cradle/cable, double-click the HotSync 
Manager icon in the Palm folder and then 
click the Serial Port Settings tab. Make 
sure Local is selected and that the port 
selection matches the port where your 
cradle/cable is attached.
I did a HotSync 
operation, but one of 
my applications did 
not synchronize.
■
On a Windows computer, click the 
HotSync Manager and choose Custom. 
Check that the correct conduit is active. 
■
On a Macintosh, double-click the 
HotSync Manager icon. From the 
HotSync menu, choose Conduit Settings. 
Select your user name from the User pop-
up menu, and check that the correct 
conduit is active.
