Troubleshooting Tips

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 tried to do a local
HotSync operation,
but it did not
complete
successfully.

Try each of these in turn:

■

Make sure HotSync Manager is

running. If HotSync Manager is
running, exit and restart it.

■

Make sure you selected Local USB or

Local Serial from the HotSync Manager
menu or the Palm Desktop software
menu.

■

Check the cable connection between the

cradle and the port on your computer.

■

Make sure you installed the software

that came with your handheld. You
must install this software even if you
upgraded from a Palm organizer.

■

Click the HotSync Manager and make

sure that the Local USB option has a
check next to it. If you are using an
optional serial cradle, make sure that
the Local Serial has a check next to it,
then select Setup and confirm that the
COM port setting matches the port
where you attached the serial cradle.

■

If you are using a serial cradle, try a

lower baud rate setting on the Local tab
in the Setup dialog box.

■

Make sure you are not running another

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

■

Read the HotSync Log for the user

account for which you are performing a
HotSync operation.
