[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Re: Tungsten C and Missing Sync -- STILL NEED HELP

[David Neil]

Bill,

What you should do is hard reset the device, that will get rid of the things
that are there that you can't use. Then go to:

/Library/Application Support/Palm HotSync/Conduits/

And find any of the Palm Desktop Conduits (which are: Address, Calendars,
Contacts, Datebook, Memo, Memos, Tasks, and ToDos) and move them to:

/Library/Application Support/Palm HotSync/Disabled Conduits/

In the conduits folder you should have Apple. That is the iSync conduit.

After your hard reset you should launch the sync again. When you do Missing
sync should ask you what device it is. I suspect that previously you had
associated this device with the same name you had used for the previous
device. What you need to do is make this a NEW device and assign it a new
unique name.

Then after that is complete you should look at Missing Sync and see the
iSync conduit. As I had said previously, double click on the iSync conduit
and check the box to enable iSync for the device.

Now when you sync it will sync with iSync.

You should NOT get anything restored from the previous device. The most
important thing here is that after your hard reset you give the device a
UNIQUE name. Until a sync the device will not have a device name.
