Synchronization starts but stops without
finishing
If you upgraded from a previous Palm OS ®
device or received a system error, such as
Sys0505, there may be conflicts with
software on your Treo 680.
1 Locate your Backup subfolder and
rename the folder (for example,
BackupOld).
Windows: C:\Program
Files\Palm\<device name>
Mac: <Mac hard drive> : Applications
: Palm : Users : <device name>
NOTE Can’t find a Palm folder in Program
Files? Then look for a palmOne or
Handspring folder instead. For more info,
see I can’t find my user folder.
2 Synchronize.
3 If the problem is resolved, begin
reinstalling your third-party applications
one at a time by double-clicking a single
file in the original Backup subfolder that
you renamed, and sync after each
application you install. If the problem
recurs, delete the last application you
installed and report the problem to its
developer.
4 WINDOWS ONLY If the Windows
New Hardware Wizard appears, the
synchronization process may be timing
out before the wizard completes its job.
Follow all instructions in the New
Hardware Wizard, and then sync again.
5 WINDOWS ONLY Uninstall
Palm Desktop software. Click Start,
select Settings, select Control Panel,
select Add or Remove Programs,
select Palm Desktop software, and
then click Change/Remove.
NOTE Mac computers do not provide an
option for uninstalling Palm Desktop
software. Contact Technical Support if the
problem persists after completing step 3.
6 Reboot your computer.

The HotSync Log can give you information
about your most recent synchronization.
Windows: Right-click the HotSync manager
icon in the taskbar in the lower-right corner of
your computer screen, and then select View
Log.

HotSync menu, select View Log.
