[Paul Bonnar]

Michael & Patricia:
Thanks for your help. I've now discovered that 50% of the (old)  
events already on my Palm Treo have not even synced onto the Palm  
Desktop! This is possibly because when I was using Windows I  
installed a program called KeySuite which is, I suppose, the Windows  
equivalent of Missing Sync. The KeySuite application is still "in" my  
Treo - my contacts are listed in "KeyContacts" and my events in  
"KeyDates". It would appear that these are not only not syncing with  
Missing Sync but that any new data I add to the Treo is defaulting  
into those applications (is that the right term?) and therefore  
continuing to not sync.
I've tried the KeySuite FAQ's to find out how to transfer they  
KeySuite data to plain old Palm and then uninstall KeySuite but there  
appears to be no info on this.
My plan now is to try to print out the old KeyDates info from my old  
Sony Vaio so at least I have a hard copy and then try to uninstall  
KeySuite from the Treo via the Sony Vaio.
This is really turning into a quest for the holy grail!
Paul

It has been awhile since I did this, but when I switched from Palm  
address
and calendar to iCal and Addressbook, I exported the data from Palm as
vCard and vCal and then imported it into iCal and Addressbook that way.
It sounds like you have put a lot of work into this, and maybe have
already done this, but you may want to start over, export everything  
from
Palm as vCard and vCal (should be export choices under File menu),  
import
it into iCal and AddressBook (again, import options under File menu) and
then sync to your Palm device.  Make sure you follow MS instructions  
so MS
activates and not HotSync when you push the sync button.
