[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Newbie question! (MS and Sony UX50)

With Missing Sync the memory stick in your pda should appear on the desktop
and allow you to add and delete files from it. Unfortunately the latest
update of OS X (10.3.5) crashes as soon as you try to do this with Missing
Sync - which is the only way it's possible. The developers are apparently
working on this:

You can - look in the additional tools folder inside the Microsoft Office
folder and you should find an installer called Handheld Sync Installer. If
it's not there look on the Microsoft website.

Sorry, don't know.

All the best, Colin.
