Have you done/do you know how to do all the maintenance routines on your Mac? Such as rebuilding permissions, running the cron routines, rebooting into the unix screen so you can do fsck -f and that sort of thing? Because it sounds to me like you should try these OSX maintenance/repair routines and see if that straightens some things out, whether or not you have to reinstall MS. There is information online about (and some utilities for) doing these things and I can try to help (a little, really busy) if you need some assistance ChemBob On Aug 1, 2005, at 1:44 AM, BDarkatsh@aol.com wrote: > To review my previous post briefly: After several successful syncs > of my date > book within a short period of time, it suddenly crashed.

Something seemed to happen, a lengthy log was generated,and I was able to install the MS prc file to the T3, but only one of my 44 contacts from the Palm Desktop addressbook appeared on the T3, and nothing from my PD datebook showed up in the Calendar on the t3. I tried setting up a conduit set just for the datebook and addressbook, Mac overwriting handheld, but per the sync log and per the results on the handheld,"nothing happened". I'm not trying to do anything complicated yet , just get my contact data and datebook to sync the way it used to via HotSync to my IIIxe.

Often it immediately launches, as it should. But every once in a while it will attempt to launch (bouncing once or twice in the Mac OS X dock) then just give up. When I manually click the icon to force it to launch again, it attempts to launch again but gives up after two bounces. Making a third attempt by clicking the icon again always launches it correctly and then it runs fine. Strange, huh? I wonder if it has something to do with a third-party background application or some other background process. I'm running Mac OS X Tiger on a 2.0DP G5. Some background apps that are usually running include the HP Deskjet all-in-one support app, Default Folder, Stuffit Deluxe and Extensis Suitcase. Yet this behavior has shown itself even when these apps are turned off before the sync attempt, so I'm not really sure if they can be considered suspects unless there are residual cached memory issues. -- = George Pytlik = george@adwiz.biz http://www.adwiz.biz/ "Short words are best and old words, when short, are best of all." --Winston Churchill From jbender at markspace.com Tue Aug 2 15:49:49 2005 From: jbender at markspace.com (Julie Bender) Date: Tue Aug 2 15:49:51 2005 Subject: [missing-sync-palmos-talk] Strange problem with Pocket Quicken In-Reply-To: Message-ID: That appears to be a limitation of the PocketQuicken app: http://www.landware.com/faq/result.asp?FAQ_ID=95 Scroll down, it appears as if PocketQuicken can be tweaked to do what you need it to do, but I'd definitely back up my data files and put them aside before playing with the workaround.

They've recently released an updated conduit that fixes that issue. I've got their Passwords Plus conduit installed and I've had sync issues with that one installed as well, but I think I have a corruption in the desktop component and I've just not had the time to spend fixing it. If you don't have those conduits, turn off/uncheck all conduits in The Missing Sync except backup and do a few syncs. Add them back one at a time and sync a few times. Eventually you'll find the bad conduit, then you can go to the developer's site and see if there are updates to it that fix the issue. Not all conduits are developed equally, they're their own little programs and they're just as able to be buggy as any other app out there.

Since I select a specific file, it should use that file all the time, no matter which one was last opened.

I have a Tungsten T5. I can successfully and consistently sync via USB cable without any problems. When I sync via Bluetooth, it almost always fails. The Palm says something like "the connection was lost" and quits, and The Missing Sync looks like it's happily syncing forever. Clicking the 'Cancel' button in The Missing Sync greys it out, but has no other effect; it's still hung forever. top shows that The Missing Sync.app is using about 30-40% of my CPU. From the output of sample, it looks like most of that is just for updating the progress bar. (40% of my CPU for a progress bar? that's sad.) If I force quit it, syncing won't work again. I have to restart my Powerbook, or at least stop and restart all the daemons that go with it. I'm attaching the sample output of everything that might be involved. Anyone have any suggestions?

For what it's worth, I had the same problem with the same OS / T5 combination.

Now I've just had the entirely opposite experience. I mistakenly left my cable at home on Friday. I had to hard-reset my T5 and with no cable I thought there was no way to get everything back. Bluetooth sync worked perfectly (but ever so slowly) and I did a complete restore. I've never used BT sync before because it's just so much slower than cable. But it's good to know I can if needed.

My latest "sync" amounts to a launching of Missing Sync via the cradle sync button, an apparent attempt at sync'ing the Address Book via the iSync conduit, with absolutely no result. It just keeps trying to synch until it eventually fails. Yes, "Enable iSync for this Palm Device" is selected in the iSync conduit listing in MS. Yes, the correct name name appears for the account. Yes, I am using MS Version 4.0.6 b3 (67). I am using the Apple apps (iCal and Address Book). ".mac" sync is desirable, but of secondary importance. The enabled conduits within MS are: Backup Calendar Contacts Install iSync Conduit Mark/Space MemoPad Media Tasks TimeCopy I need to know what procedure to follow to ensure reliable synchronization each and every time. I'm at the point of junking Missing Sync, despite the excellent support and and responsiveness. I'm using it primarily because I need Memo synchronization which wasn't available when I moved to OS X and iSync.

I upgraded my old PDA Palm Desktop Software using the Treo disc and after running a while, I had an unresolved problem syncing. PalmOne techs had me wipe Desktop software off disc and reinstall. I could open the new software and add records, then sync and it would hang up again. Hence, I purchased Missing Sync. MY STATUS: I installed MS then read (doesn?t everyone do it in that order?) that I should have Palm Desktop installed first but that MS would sense what was up and fix it. Seems to have done that because I can now sync Apple iCal and Apple Address Book sucessfully. It choked on Memos so I deactivated the memo conduit. I presume Memos was the reason I needed Palm Desktop and it does me no good... won?t work for me. I looked for Mark/Space MemoPad in the library folder mentioned in the user?s guide. Not there. Serched the disc for it but no conduit, just the application. MY QUESTION: Can I reinstall MS to get the MemoPad conduit back - without messing things up?

Initially we ran into the error that occurred when syncing over 3000 contacts and slimmed our address book down. Now with less than 3,000, the syncing works fine. RANDOMLY the calendar syncing got a little weird. All one-time events (not reoccurring events) which occurred prior to this week were deleted. Unfortunately the device was synced before this was realized so I am not 100% sure if this is Missing Sync, Treo, or Entourage. To try to replicate this problem, I have created a ?test? event at 2pm on a Tuesday from last week, and also an all-day event from last week. I created a reoccurring event ?in the past? to see if that would sync correctly as well on both devices. All of what I just created synced fine. I am just writing in to see if anybody has ever had their Entourage calendar?s ?prior? one-time events deleted and how to prevent this.

It seems to be actually two problems, but I'm quite a bit more concerned with ical/isync not working. In a nutshell, I'm noticing that when I sync, isync always gives this error message (see email below), and creates multiple duplicate entries in Ical each time. This happens even when I follow the instructions at http://www.markspace.com/support/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=2391 to erase and re-sync, but still the same thing. Also, I checked in ical, and the record was there, although it must have been a corrupted one, as it was an event that I know I didn't put in ical or the PDA; rather, it was a combination of different records. Anybody notice the same thing, or have any thoughts on how to fix it? I'm running ical 1.5.5 (v670), MacOS 10.3.9, and missing sync 4.0.5. I have a treo 650 (verizon). --- Burv wrote: > Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2005 00:31:09 -0700 (PDT) > From: Burv > Subject: Re: [Mark/Space Support #544941]: Missing > Sync for PalmOS > To: support@markspace.com > > Hi, > > I also forgot to mention that, when I added a bunch > of > channels in avantgo, which caused me to run out of > available space on the PDA.

Tried this multiple times, and each time, I get the following error message in Isync. I've tried quitting and restarting the applications, restarting the system, forcing slow synchronization, setting isync to ignore anything older than 1 month (since I figured it may have been that isync was getting too much data), but I still get the same message - that it fails.

You need to upgrade iCal, the latest version is 2.0.2. You didn't mention your iSync version but the latest is 2.1 (build 88 I believe) and you should have this as well. Realistically, you should run all the cron routines, rebuild your permissions, test for corrupted preferences, possibly run DiskWarrior, yada yada yada. Then you should seriously consider upgrading to Tiger (OSX 10.4.2) to make sure everything is as up to speed as possible. iCal 2.0.2 and iSync 2.1 may require Tiger, I can't remember. All the maintenance routines I mentioned (except DiskWarrior, which is possibly the best MacOSX utility ever developed but not free) are available in the free utility MainMenu. You can find it at versiontracker.com. Sincerely, ChemBob On Aug 15, 2005, at 1:06 AM, Burv wrote: > Hi, > > I sent this in to support at markspace dot com, and > have since realized a couple things.

This is frustrating to me because it was the one reason I bought in. The advertising made it look like I could get MS and then it would be easy, plug and play.

MacOS X is Unix with a pretty face, and cron goes back to the very early days of Unix. I'm sure that someone has created GUI interfaces to cron, but most of the normal interaction with cron goes through the command line.

And cron is a utility that has existed within Unix for decades. It's provided by Apple, as part of the OS. So, it doesn't do a damn bit of good to be complaining about things that Apple has provided and then trying to use those as an excuse to go back to so-called "standard" Apple software, since Apple provided the software you're complaining about in either case. Same goes for iSync. No sense bitching about it here, because Apple created it, and Apple is responsible for fixing it. And it doesn't make any sense to bitch and moan about MissingSync not fixing this problem and going back to "standard" Apple software (like iSync), because Apple created this problem in the first place. If you're going to bitch and moan about something, the first thing you need to do is to better understand just what it is that you're bitching and moaning about, and then figure out where it is that you should bitch and moan in order to try to get the problem corrected. -- Brad Knowles, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.

The crons are Unix maintenance routines from all the way back in the mainframe days. Some of them run daily, some weekly and some monthly. Indeed OSX runs the crons automatically if your computer is on. But many people are on laptops that they close or often desktop users turn their computers off at night (or they go to sleep), which is when the crons run (I don't remember what time of night). So utilities are available to run these crons (via a GUI, such as MainMenu menu command "Run Maintenance Scripts" -> 'daily' or 'weekly' or 'monthly' or 'all) when you tell them to run. There is also thefsck -f command to repair directories (you have to hold down command S during startup) that can repair many types of file system problems. I believe Apple has instructions for this in their support forums. And if all else fails (and occasionally for routine rebuilding of the "wrapper") DiskWarrior can't be beat. Unfortunately there are no maintenance-free or bullet-proof operating/file systems yet. Unix comes closest but still requires a little knowledge and work.

When I click on Missing Sync on the Treo, I get a graphic with a Connect-Disconnent button. When I attempt to leave that screen, I get a message that says "Disconnecting without unmounting the memory card in the Finder may corrupt data and make your Mac unstable. Are you sure you want to disconnect?" I've read the Knowledgebase on it (article 000145) but it doesn't help. The solution notes than when mounted, the expansion card appears as a DOS-formatted disk on the Mac desktop. I have never seen it on the desktop. What's the deal? Also, since I'm not connected to my Mac at the time, I don't know what this means. I have no options but to disconnect to get out of that loop, but I don't know what effect it has. And here's another related problem. In iPhoto, I exported a photo to my card. I then synced successfully. But how to I access information on the card? The photo is not in Pics and Videos and I have no idea about how to access the card? I've read the Treo manual with no luck at all.

Rob From miketall at mac.com Mon Aug 15 23:19:47 2005 From: miketall at mac.com (Mac Mike) Date: Mon Aug 15 23:20:04 2005 Subject: [missing-sync-palmos-talk] Sync with StickyBrain In-Reply-To: <0A0AD433-6DF1-45C0-AE37-913DB32E48BF@gmail.com> Message-ID: Hi Rob, If I understood you correctly, I think this should be a fairly easy one. You can set up different "Profiles" that will enable you to configure & enable the conduits and save that specific setup. The "Profiles" can be found near the upper right hand side of the main Missing Sync window. It has some basic pre-configured settings like, "Backup", "Install", and "All Conduits". However, you can save any configuration you wish and use it for a later time. The "Profile" selected will only affect the conduits settings and selections. It will not change the "Current Handheld" setting. I just tested this. Since I don't sync multiple handhelds, I don't know if the "Current Handheld" is automatically selected when the device is docked. I'm guessing it will not be auto selected since this could cause issues if both PDA's where docked at the same time. So, the simple solution is to select the "Current Handheld" that you wish to sync and select the "Profile" that matches that handheld device (you must create this profile yourself) - then sync. -Mike PS - I use Sticky Brain as well, and I do not see any setting for the conduit beyond the typical sync, force one way, & do nothing settings.

I actually checked the results of the erase and sync again, and found that it did in fact work. However, after one or two syncs, it starts failing again with the same message. 2. My treo was also low on space the first time I got the message, so I deleted some things, so it's 50% now. Still syncing and failing with the same error message. 3. I also tried the disk utility that came with OS 10.3.9, and synced. Same thing. 4. I'd like to stay at 10.3 if I can; I ran software update, and I have the latest for 10.3.9. 5. I partially agree with Michael Thompson's gripe... Apple has taken some stuff that runs without tweaking on some other unixes, and Iv'e often found it's just easier to install an open source app on a linux machine than to futz with fink or whatever. I install x code tools, gcc updater, etc. from developer.apple.com, but for the time I put into doing that, it's often easier to just put it on a linux box. But I must say, it's definitely worlds better than Windows :) Irrelevant of this, missing sync is still an additional layer on top of isync, so that's one thing I'll try, i.e. syncing without missing sync, to rule out the problem. If I still get the error, emailing this list may be a moot point. 6. ".. you should run all the cron routines, > rebuild your > permissions, test for corrupted preferences, > possibly run > DiskWarrior,..." Cron routines? I don't have any. Are there supposed to be some installed by Missing sync? [barnabas:~] burvil% crontab -l crontab: no crontab for burvil [barnabas:~] burvil% sudo crontab -l Password: crontab: no crontab for root [barnabas:~] burvil% Also, I ran repair permissions under disk utility, which I think takes care of the rest of the things you mentioned (except for Disk Warrior).

It definitely makes it a bit easier. The problem with StickyBrain is that it leaves the notes in the Palm/Sync folder, and doesn?t know which note has been synced with which Palm. If it has synced a note with Palm 1 it won?t sync that note with Palm 2 because it ?knows? that it has already synced that note. But with profiles, and maybe a macro or Applescript in StickyBrain, maybe I can work around it. BTW, it?s pretty easy to sync more than one handheld these days. MS sorts out which is which.

That will make it much easier when my girlfriend gets a PDA - just have to remember to clean up my 'little black book' first :) Let me know if the "Profile" thing work for you. What you are saying makes sense, and I had not thought of that. It would be great if this works without having to do anything extra. I'm hoping that when multiple PDAs are used, 2 copies of these notes are stored. In my Documents/Palm folder, things are subdivided by User name. If this is where things get stored, then maybe the problem is already solved for us. Please post your feedback when you try this.

I just found one called Macaroni -- http:// www.atomicbird.com/?q= In addition to all the regular maintenance tasks it has one that "Cleans language-specific localized files for languages you don't need." The user chooses which languages to eliminate and it hunts down all files for them and trashes them. Missing Sync, for example, had a handful I didn't need as did many, many other apps. I mean, do I need Farsi and Swahili files for Safari or Hindi for iTunes??? After it trashed the language-specific files, it had freed up 940MB os space!!!! They have a free 35 day trial.

We don't use the Bluetooth-PDA-Sync port, so that may be the difference; we use our own method of dealing with Bluetooth. We'll see what we can do to address this in a future version. -- Scott Gruby Lead Engineer Mark/Space, Inc. Please visit for assistance with Mark/Space products.

Simply uncheck it and then it won't sync. When you upgrade, it will remain unchecked and won't sync. You can have multiple conduits that sync the same type of data installed, just not checked. -- Scott Gruby Lead Engineer Mark/Space, Inc. Please visit for assistance with Mark/Space products.
