[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Howto: migrate a Treo 650 from Windows to Missing Sync 5...

[David Taylor]

Hi there.

Now that Scott G. has reassured me that I can use time zones with my  
Treo, I need some help with an OS migration.

Currently I am syncing a Verizon Treo 650 with Palm Desktop/Hotsync  
on my work laptop, which runs Windows XP SP2.  I would like to  
transfer the sync to Missing Sync 5.0 on my G5 tower running Tiger  
(10.4).

Currently the set of applications in use is:

Contacts
Tasks (to-dos)
Datebook
Memos
Avantgo -- could be removed
SplashWallet (SplashId etc) -- important but could be removed

My impulse is simply to install Missing Sync on the G5 and then hook  
up my Treo and press the sync button.

Do you think that it is that simple?  Do you have any advice before  
attempting this?

I am assuming that I should avoid all connections to my PC after the  
migration to the extent of uninstalling Palm Desktop/Hotsync etc.

Also how do I do a backup of my data before I start this?

Thanks.

David
