[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Tungsten C and Missing Sync

[Mac Mike]

Ross,

You don't have to uninstall or reinstall Palm Desktop once it is on your
system.  You'll just have to enable/activate the correct conduits so that
your PalmOne device now syncs to the Palm Desktop instead of the iApps.

The conduits from PalmOne should still exist in your "disabled conduits"
folder.  For exact location, please refer to the Missing Sync knowledge
base.  Just drag the conduits your need from the "disabled conduits" to the
"conduits" folder.  Also, make sure you don't have any conflicting conduits.
In other words, make sure that your are syncing to only one address book,
one calendar, etc.  If you are no longer using the iApps stuff, make sure
you have disabled Apple's iSync Palm Conduit.

NOTE:  Whatever you do, do not run Palm HotSync.  This may re-enable it as
the sync manager, and you'll have to reinstall Missing Sync to make sure
nothing got screwed up.  Not a big deal, but it will save you time if you
don't make that mistake.
