We are working as hard as possible on this product and other
products. I can't give you an estimate on when a fix will be
available (and even if a fix for your particular issue will be
included), but we are working on issues with the product. We can't
release versions with just one fix in them as there are many
components involved in a release, so we have a number of fixes
planned and every fix takes time.
We hope that you can bear with us and we will have a new release when
several issues have been addressed and it has been adequately tested.
Thanks for your understanding.

I'm interested in writing an app that pulls data from the memo pad on every
sync and does something with it. Is there a specific format for the memopad
data stored by MarkSpace MemoPad? How about hooks so my applescript or obj-c
app can be notified when the sync completes?

The format for the data stored in Mark/Space MemoPad is not
documented. However, you can write a conduit and application and
bypass the Mark/Space MemoPad conduit and application.
> How about hooks so my applescript or obj-c
> app can be notified when the sync completes?
There are Objective-C hooks to be notified.
#define kSyncNotification
@"com.markspace.missingsync.syncmanager.notification"
#define kSyncStartNotification [NSString
stringWithFormat:@"com.markspace.missingsync.syncmanager.syncstart-%
@", NSUserName()]
NSDistributedNotificationCenter* center =
[NSDistributedNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
[center addObserver:self selector:@selector(syncStartNotification:)
name:kSyncNotification object:kSyncStartNotification];
[center addObserver:self selector:@selector(syncStopNotification:)
name:kSyncNotification object:kSyncStopNotification];
- (void) syncStartNotification:(NSNotification *) inNotification
{
NSDictionary *userInfo = [inNotification userInfo];
[self handleScripts:YES conduitName:[userInfo
objectForKey:kSyncConduitName]];
}
(I'd recommend using the Conduit Developer's mailing list: if
you have further questions about development as your questions may be
relevant to other developers.)

I'm trying to get the hang of Sync Services and Missing Sync (5.1). When
syncing Tasks between a Palm T3 and iCal, I often get the alert, "Syncing

If you want to change this, open iSync and go to Prefs. I find it

Message-ID:
I am trying to sync a Palm T3 with iCal. (OSX 10.4.6, MS 5.1.0) For a few
days it worked. Now, no syncing. I'm also trying to use Sync Services
between an iMac and PowerBook. Can SS be interfering? The calendar is not
syncing between the PB and iMac either. Contacts DO sync. I've seen the
solution here before to do a desktop overwrites handheld. But if my
computers aren't syncing either - where is the problem and what should I do?
This is all new to me and I'm afraid of losing 8 years of calendar, though
it is backed up.

Rob,
Are you getting any sort of errors?
Plaxo, if I remember, works as an Address Book plugin - meaning it
*shouldn't* cause a direct issue with our synchronization of
contacts. But something else may be happening. If you have a snippet
from our log we might know better.

In-Reply-To:
Message-ID:
Hello:
I have a client who is having a similar problem. After upgrading to MS
5.1.0, iCal is no longer syncing. Address Book sync's fine.
Missing Sync: 5.1.0
17" Powerbook G4
OS: 10.4.6
Treo 650
Palm OS: 5.4.8
There is no error on the sync log on the Treo. However, on her Powerbook, I
do get the following message in the sync log.
NSInvalidArgumentException [ISyncConcreteSession
clientAcceptedChangesForRecordWithIdentifier:formattedRecord:newRecordIdenti
fier:]: I don't know anything about a record with identifier
com.apple.syncservices:7A98B0AB-A531-11DA-9CBB-000A95BD12BE. Are you sure
you got it from this session or from the session's snapshot? If so, perhaps
it has been deleted?
Thanks in advance for any help.

The wording sounds like it will change more than 5% of my calendars rather
than 5% of the data inside. Anyway, when I have gone ahead, it does not
seem to have changed more than 5% of the data/events. So I don't really
understand what it means. Does it mean something other than that it will
change more than 5% of the events? Does it lie?

Why must all messages start with "[missing-sync-palmos-talk]"? It is very
annoying not to be able to see the subject in the list. I gather that your
messages start with "Re: Contents of missing-sync-palmos-talk digest..."
That's even worse.

Right. "[msp]" would do just as well for identification purposes.
What people on some email clients - where message lists can stretch out to
the full width of the window/screen and messages are either opened into
their own window or are viewed below - is that on other email clients such
as Entourage 2004 the preferred "3-column" display has the message on the
right, with message lists in a rather narrow column in the middle. (The list
column has two lines for displaying minimal headers - the sender's name
above and the message subject below.) Even on my 23" display, I keep that
middle column at just about 3" wide. Typically an msp subject gets truncated
like this:
Re: [missing-sync-palmos-talk] Re: missing...
Useless. On my 15" PowerBook it's more like this:
Re: [missing-sync-palmos-talk]...
Every single message subject looks like that. You cannot tell one apart from
the other. It's got to be even worse on a 12" iBook or 13" MacBook.
(Probably bad enough to force me not to use this preferred "3-column"
display at all, as I recall from when I had an iBook. But for a 15" screen,
the "3-column" display works just fine for all messages except ones from
mailing lists like mspt - which is the worst of all.
Just something to keep in mind...

this annoys me too. But I don't think it's possible to change the name of a list in existence, is it? so is it worth having to resubscribe?
If it can be changed, I'll be very happy on my 12" PB...

Other lists don't begin the Subject with the name of the list. I can't
imagine why this one does.

I was wrong. If they're using the same Mailman software as the lists I run (which the headers indicate they are) there is a setting in General options

so all they have to do is change that setting to something, thus messing up most of our email filters but allowing us to see the whole subject line.
Now there's an issue which is guranteed to annoy half the list, whatever they choose...but it can be (easily) done at their end.
over to the Missing Sync people to decide on this...

The proper way to filter would be on the "List-Id:" header. That way
mail can be filtered AND the subject is not so long.

Exactly. Filtering on Subject headers is my least favorite method.

An Apple Mail rule could include:
List-Id Contains missing-sync-palmos-talk.lists.markspace.com
Unfortunately that only works with rules since Mail still doesn't
have general support for arbitrary message headers searches (e.g. in
Smart Mailboxes).

Message-ID: <821E9D0E-E633-45A8-970D-A9C20255D3FA@mindspring.com>
Hello-
I am using a Treo 650 w/Missing Sync v.5.1... I regularly sync my
iCal calendar program on my PowerBook with the Treo. Most everything
works great, but there is one inconsistency that is giving me
problems. Events that I have entered in my iCal program (as 'All Day'
events) that recur across multiple days show up as single day's event
on my Treo calendar. In other words, the calendar records do not
retain their 'multi-day' status when they are transferred into the
Treo's calendar. Is there a way to remedy this?
Thanks in advance for any help!

You need to create a repeating event, not an event spanning multiple
days, which aren't supported on the Palm OS.
http://www.markspace.com/support/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=2563
Multi-day all day events
If an all day event lasting more than one day is created in iCal, it
appears as a banner, spanning multiple days. The Palm calendar
application cannot do this ? an event must begin and end on the same
date.
When a banner event is synchronized from iCal, it will only appear on
the first day of the span in the Palm calendar. If a change is made
to the event on the Palm, the original iCal event will be changed to
be a single-day all day event because of the parameters in the Palm
event.
If an all-day repeating event is created on the Palm, it will sync as
discrete reperating events in iCal.

Message-ID: <72D30A4C-5092-4DF7-8AD9-DFF751892D30@kissphotography.com.au>
Hello all,
I've recently got a Palm Treo 650 for sharing my iCal calendars via
Missing Sync.
iCal 2.0.3
OS X 10.4.6
Palm OS v.5.4.8
Missing Sync for Palm OS 5.1.0
Palm desktop software not installed.
I am having the reoccurring situation where my read only Birthday
anniversaries (originating from Address Book) are repeated in the
Palm Calendar.
I am only syncing Events and Tasks to the Treo - not contacts or the
Address Book.
The Birthdays are not repeated in iCal.
The first time I noticed this I removed the repeats on the Treo by
syncing with "Overwrite handheld with desktop data"
This was fine but they have just re-appeared after my latest sync.
I had a few events spanning multiple days in iCal so I reorganized
those to be a series of singular daily events in succession (so that
they would display correctly in Palm OS Calendar) - this is all I
have changed between the two syncs.
When I first noticed the repeated birthdays there seemed to be the
same number of repeats as times I had synced to the mac.
Thanks for any clues on this one.

Thanks for the suggestion - I have turned it off and so far no more
repeats, which is understandable.
rather I was wondering if there was anything known on the iCal side
of things which is known to cause it.

[ THINK DIFFERENT ] Meaning: "Think non-Apple" ;-)
There is a very good application called Daylite
http://www.marketcircle.com/. It allows you to do ALL you want.
Once you're set, you can then export all into iCal or AddressBook -- just in
case you really do NEED to use the data with other Macintosh integrated
features like widgets, macnews.de, etc.
I also have quite good experience with another application which also synchs
independently. It can sync (one way) TO iCal/Addressbook at any given
moment. Their conduit is under strong development. It's called

Hi all -
I missed this discussion back in April, but want to express
appreciation for the points raised below and add my vote that it would
be very useful if markspace were to write a sync tool for Palm/Google
calendar. I am finding myself abandoning iCal and my PDA in favor of
Google calendar, then being stuck without it when I'm not near a
computer.
Google calendar suits the way I use computers, much like other nifty
"social networking" tools like flickr. I use many computers
(desktop/laptop/office) and I share with many people (family, friends
and colleagues). If Google calendar (or one like it - I recognize that
there are multipel good online calendars - but Google is the one with
the open API that I know of) could be the "truth" calendar that syncs
with my Tungsten for when I am offline, that would be superb.
Otherwise I will be looking for some other solution - right now it's
printing out calendars! This effectively turns my Tungsten into a
glorified addressbook and alarm clock, which is rather sad really.
Incidentally, subscribing to the Google calendar iCal calendar doesn't
work properly using missing sync, even accepting that it's read only.
I now have multiple entries for events from the Google calendar in my
tungsten so I've abandoned that idea.
Cheers,
Tobias

It is our intention to bring the Notebook application to other
products in our product line. However, at this time we don't have a
timetable on when it will come to the Palm OS product.

No fix yet. I'm kind of surprised that the MS folks haven't done
anything for this yet .......
The idea was to subscribe to my Google calendar in iCal and then have
MS copy the calendar to my palm device. In the future one would hope
that MS will simply provide a Google sync conduit, but first, they
need to understand Google's interpretation of the icalendar "standard".

I have Sync Minder set for daily reminders on a machine that is put
to sleep at night and only rebooted occasionally.
Will Sync Minder still run constantly behind the scenes issuing
reminders on a daily basis or does it only activate alerts on daily
system startups?
thanks.

Subject: [missing-sync-palmos-talk] Can't sync only iCal
Message-ID:
I am suddenly unable to sync Events/iCal with my Palm T3. All other
conduits are working and I can sync the Palm Calendar with the Palm Desktop
Calendar using Missing Sync. When I try to sync with iCal, the sync wheel
goes around and there is a MS window saying "Pushing changes from device"
but nothing happens. The Palm says "Synchronizing Calendar." After about 40
minutes the Palm says "Lost Connection" and "Hot sync interrupted." The
sync wheel is still turning and MS still says "Pushing changes from
device." Eventually I have to force quit and even restart with the Power
Button. The Sync History just said "Sync starting at 6/15/06 2:56 PM
(14:56:37) on USB (5.1.0)."
Apple Sync Services is also not working with iCal so I wonder if the
problems are related. However, at the moment I am unable to trouble shoot
that because, thanks to Verizon sending me a wrong modem, I am without my
usual DSL. Still it seems that Missing Sync should be able to sync locally
with the Palm and the PowerBook iCal. Or can iCal be corrupted? It doesn't
seem to be.
I put this problem on the Mark-Space Web site about 5 days ago but have not
had a response.
Missing Sync 5.1, OSX 10.4.6, iCal 2.0.3.

That's not only evil. It's stupid.

Subject: [missing-sync-palmos-talk] Categories lost after restore from backup
Message-ID:
I purchased MS 5 shortly after it was released and had a bunch of
problems. I lost a LOT of time recovering lost data. For a while I
kept up with the bug fixes and updates but at one point I decided
just to wait until the product seems to be bug-free before I lose any
more time recovering data. Since that time I have not been using MS 5
to sync but just to backup my Palm.
Judging by the discussion on this list, MS 5 seems to be mostly
bugless so the time seems to have come for me to download the latest
version and risk trying to sync again.
Before I do that, though, there is one question I hope to find an
answer to. One reason I lost so much time when I had to recover lost
data was that restoring from backup always left me with all the items
in my task list, calendar and address book in the "Unfiled" category.
That means I had to painstakingly re-assign my categories to every
item. That can take a lot of time, let me tell you!
I was wondering if anyone knows why all the category assignments get
lost? Does this happen to anyone else? I can't imagine that's a bug
with MS. Is that a feature of PalmOS 5 (I'm using a Zire 72)? It
never happened to me on my old M515 under PalmOS 4.

One of the reasons I upgraded to MS 5 was precisely because
categories were synced correctly. Although I have had other problems
this feature has always worked for me. I have Palm OS 5.4.8 and a
Tungsten T5. I'm running MS 5.1.

Let me clarify. I'm not talking about *syncing* categories between
Palm and Mac. I'm talking about *restoring* backed up versions of the
Palm databases (*.pdb) back to the Palm.
Anybody have any ideas?

I guess I was not specific enough in my reply ... that is precisely
what I was talking about (unless I am still misinterpreting.) I got
fed up with having to go through all of my contacts (in particular)
after I did a reset on my Palm to restore the categories.

Hm, it does sound like we're talking about the same thing. Let me
give you my current background. Yesterday for some unexpicable reason
my Zire's battery discharged completely so I lost everything. I have
been using MS's Backup conduit faithfully with the "Backup all
databases" option clicked. I set the Backup conduit to do a "restore
from backup" and hit the sync button. After syncing all my items were
back, but everything was in the Unfiled category.
It sounds like you've gone through this procedure before and the
categories were not lost. So what are you doing differently from me?
I'm using a Zire 72 with PalmOS V5.28004.

It's been a while but I recollect is that I did just a regular sync
(which should download everything automatically.) Since I had done a
hard reset the Palm is back in its original condition i.e. without
any user data.

HI Matthew,
I restored my personal Treo 650 after palm repair returned it back to
me (after a month and half, but that's another story) and all of my
applications retained their category settings. I.e., All the
applications I had put in a custom category remained in that category
after the restore. Note, this was a brand-new replacement device, so
none of my data was on the device until I restored it.
Hopefully this helps.
Regards,
Blaine

Just jumping in late here - one of the reasons I'm delaying making the leap
to an intel Macbook is that I'd heard, somewhere, that the Pocket Quicken
2.5.1 conduit didn't handle running under Rosetta.
Do you see any issues? Does it sync reliably? I have Pocket Quicken working
well with my Treo 650/PB 12" 10.4.6 combination, and I don't want to lose
the functionality while waiting for Landware to come up with a universal
binary version of the conduit.
Thanks

hi.
so nice of you to respond. i'm feeling sooooo
frustrated. i did check the settings, and
addresses/contacts nor events/calendar do not show up.
i am using a mac osx with 10.3.9 and it looks like
the conduits for the addresses/contacts are only
supported for mac osx 10.4, but the info isn't syncing
with the palm desktop either. in frustration, i
uninstalled missing sync and tried just using the palm
desktop, but couldn't get that to even sync ANYTHING
at all. it's as if the desktop doesn't even know my
palm is connected. so...i deleted all the palm
software, then re-installed it. still, i could not
get it to sync. the only thing i haven't tried is a
HARD RESET...since i have been entering this vital
info directly into the palm, i'm hesitant to do it.
thanks for your help.

Are you using addressbook?
I use the mark space contacts and ical settings for my addresses and contacts
and calendar functions. Might want to give that a whirl and see what happens.
I actually prefer the addressbook over the palm desktop these days.
When all else fails write a note to tech support, so far, they have been most
helpful when I get in a true bind.

Foldersync :
In MissingSync's main window it ALWAYS says "Synchronize folders" - as
opposed to "Handheld overwrites Desktop" or "Desktop overwrites Handheld" as
it sometimes will say with other conduits.
Yet there are 3 choices for setting up Folder sync.
I think it would be better to state here (in the main window) rather the
phrase "See conduit settings" or "Click Settings for info".
This would be more _true_.
As it is written now, it is _false_ because my settings are "Overwrite
Handheld".

Subject: [missing-sync-palmos-talk] Downloading FROM Treo to iCal/Address
Book
Message-ID:
Hello all,
My Mac was stolen from my office complete with iCal and Address Book
data and backup data. I had done a synch with my Treo 600, so all the
data is on my handheld. Now I want to download the data on my Treo
600 to a newly authorized computer and make sure that the data will
not be wiped out the first time I synch it up. I am running Mac OS X
10.4.6 (Tiger) and Missing Synch 5.1.0.
I am concerned because the installation instructions say that Missing
Synch will get its initial data from the computer, and cannot get it
from the handheld. From this paragraph from the manual:
===================
The Mark/Space Contacts conduit allows you to either synchronize your
Mac and your Palm device or to overwrite the data on your Palm with
that from your Mac. Sync Services conduits do not presently have the
option to have device data overwrite the Mac?s. You can choose to
sync all or selected Address Book groups.
===================
I cannot tell what will happen. Does "... conduits do not presently
have the option to have device data overwrite the Mac?s." mean that I
cannot transfer my handheld data to my Mac? Or, does "... allows you
to either synchronize your Mac and your Palm device or to overwrite
the data on your Palm with that from your Mac." mean that if I choose
to synchronize, my data will be transferred from my handheld to my Mac?
So, my question is, Can I simply install Missing Synch, then synch my
handheld without losing my data?
Or, must I find some way to download my handheld data and get it into
iCal and Address Book before I set up Missing Synch?
I THINK if I install Missing Synch then synchronize I will be safe,
but obviously I want to be 100% sure of this before I do anything,
because I do NOT want to reconstruct my calendar and address book
manually.
Thanks for any help.

in iCal
Message-ID: <3AABD795-CC4A-45CA-9CCC-8B3D69600981@vocaro.com>
Back in November, I had written about problems I was having with
duplicate alarms in iCal after syncing [1]. I ended up writing a
script to remove all the duplicates. That solved the problem...until
I had to re-install The Missing Sync last week, and the problem
cropped up again. This time, instead of the duplicates appearing as
display-only alarms, they were sound alarms with no sound specified,
and unfortunately my old script didn't handle this kind of duplicate.
So, I've modified it and released a new version [2]. I hope someone
finds it useful. (I assume I'm not the only one seeing duplicate
alarms after syncing.)

I think so, but I am not 100% sure, it is SUPPOSED to mingle - merge
- data from both, so if there is 0 data on the mac and lots of data
on the Treo, it should merge - ie. bring the treo data to the mac.

I would definitely run the Backup conduit first, so that even if the
Treo accidentally gets wiped during the Sync, you can restore it for
the backup,
There is also BackupBuddy and SyncBuddy to help with this, but they
may not be necessary. The Backup conduit from Missing Sync should do it.
I remember that in the old Palm Desktop, it was possible to replace
the Computer data with that from the pda, so it may be possible to
install Palm desktop first and try to get it to transfer the data to
the Mac and than install and run Missing Sync. I have no idea if
this is a good suggestion or not.
One more idea: If I remember correctly, it is possible to sync
Entourage in Microsoft Office 2004, you have to first install the
conduit, there is Handheld Sync Installer in the Additional Tools
installer folder in your Microsoft Office 2004 folder (this should
work even with the 30 day demo). Again, you may need Palm Desktop for
this or it may work fine with Missing Sync, I have no idea the Sync
service would be needed or not.
"Go to Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Additional Tools and run
the Handheld Sync Installer.
Before you hotsync for the 1st time you may want to open up the
Conduit Settings in Hotsync manager and change the defaults (I set
all of them to Handheld overwrites PC just for the first sync)."
I saw this on some forum and it looks like you may need Palm desktop
for this.
Than once you get your data from the Treo into Entourage, go into
Preferences in Entourage and under Sync Services, turn on Address
Book and iCal and Notes syncing. This should bring your bata back
into Address book and iCal.
hope some of it works

Thanks Tom!
Here is what happened:
I looked at BackupBuddy and SyncBuddy and decided to install a trial
version of SyncBuddy, which is a very nice program. You essentially
get a window of all the files on your handheld and can copy them
to your computer with a simple drag-and-drop. The copy operation does
not change any dates (or anything, for that matter) on your handheld, so
it is completely invisible to any synchronization operation by any other
synchronization program.
Then I ran Missing Sync with only the backup conduit as Tom suggested.
Then I ran it to synchronize with Address Book and iCal and no data was
lost. So, it turns out I did not need to do the SyncBuddy backup
after all,
but the stress level was definitely lower having done that.

I have a problem syncing my Treo 700P to my Mac with the newest
MissingSync for Palm.
I think the problem is a bad preferences file, but I do not know what
to do about it.
The Treo comes to a full stop while saying "Synchronizing Saved

Where would I start to get it back to normal?

Message-ID: <7C0382E5-0935-4226-A17E-04C8EF410742@sbc.edu>
Hello!
I purchased a license for the Missing Sync a few days ago based on
the plethora of good reviews and a suggestion from a friend who is a
satisfied user. I wanted to ditch the Palm hotsyncing tools and use
of Apple's Sync Services, especially since I just upgraded to a
MacBook Pro 17" and am wanting Universal apps wherever possible.
I use DateBk 5 from Pimlico Software on my Treo. It sits on top of
the existing Palm calendar and task databases, so it doesn't require
any special conduits and I've never had issues in the past.
At first I thought everything was working perfectly, certainly far
better than my prior Palm Desktop experiences (over the course of
three generations of the Treos these last few years).
Last night I created a To-Do item in iCal and set an alarm on it
(Message with Sound, 15 minutes before on Same Day). I synced right
afterward but noticed the To-Do on my Treo lacked the alarm, so I
wasn't going to get an alert.
To make a long story short, I've not yet been able to get a To-Do
item I make in iCal with an alarm to sync and include the alarm
parameters on the Treo. To-Do items I make on the Treo with alarms
also do not appear in iCal with alarm parameters.
Calendar events I make in iCal do sync with the alarms for the
most part. But, unfortunately, as I experimented I started running
into even more bits of strangeness. I found that some events I made
in iCal simply did not appear on my Treo after syncing. Doing a
second sync, however, would usually make them appear. Some events I
made in iCal appeared on the Treo as "New Item" which is iCal's
default text until you change it. It was fully defined in iCal with a
title, but synced as New Item.
Another clue I've gotten along the way is what appears to be a
sort of time delay between use of iCal and syncing affecting with the
accuracy. When you're making tests and immediately syncing, you tend
to do it at such a pace that there is only a few seconds between
quitting iCal and telling your Treo to sync. In many of those cases I
had missing calendar items or incomplete items on my Treo after the
sync. A second sync, however, would usually cause them to appear like
they should have the first time.
Similar to this, some items I made on the Treo would not appear in
iCal after syncing and then immediately opening iCal. Closing iCal,
however, and re-opening it again a moment later would make them
appear (more or less complete, I think). I've always quit iCal before
doing a sync (just in case that was a factor).
During all this testing I've done things like delete my task and
calendar databases on the Palm and then doing a sync to force iCal to
provide all the data "fresh" to the Treo (hoping to eliminate
database errors on the Treo side). That didn't fix anything. After
that, I went through the steps in the knowledgebase to simulate the
equivalent of a conduit's Handheld Overwrites Desktop (clearing iCal,
backing up the cleared calendar, restoring the calendar and option-
clicking the conduit to set an advanced option before the sync). iCal
came up blank after the sync, but closing and re-opening it caused
all the data to appear.
Since that time, it appears that calendar items are a bit more
reliable in terms of syncing... but it doesn't seem to be 100% yet.
However, I still cannot get a To-Do item in iCal to sync WITH its
alarm settings.
I did notice, however, that a To-Do I just made on the Treo with
an alarm appeared in iCal without the alarm settings - but the note
field had this:
[---11:30 s000.... ]
which happens to be the 11:30 AM alarm setting on the To-Do item
on the Treo.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be happening?
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
I think I've summarized all of my testing which has been pretty
consistent and methodical (problem solving is a big part of my job,
so I tend to approach things fairly scientifically in this regard).
If I've missed something, let me know.
My system is a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.4.6, Missing Sync 5.1.0
(131), and Treo 650 with DateBk 5.4a, S6.
Thanks!

Hi
I am proud to say that Missing Sync has been working great for quite a
while.
But now, suddenly, it has become unhappy.
Here is my sync log:
Sync starting at 6/22/06 12:53 AM (00:53:27) on Network from:
192.168.0.103 (5.1.0)
Using profile named:
Event conduit was unable to open the Event database on the handheld.
Failed Mark/Space Events (0x4004)
Sync completed successfully at 6/22/06 12:53 AM (00:53:47)
I tried this 4 times. Same result each time.
What should I do?
Mac OS X 10.4.6. Missing Sync for Palm 5.1.0 Palm TX.

Any advice welcome!

Message-ID:
The new MS Folder Sync conduit seems to do no checking (compare dates,
file size, md5sum etc) of the destination file when copying data over. ie,
it copies every file over to the Palm regardless of whether or not it's
changed.
When you've got quite a few folders in the Folder Sync configuration, this
means a HotSync takes a long time as it painstakingly copies every file
over each time, even if none of the files have actually changed.
Is this a bug or just a lacking feature? :)

Are you looking at the To-Do in DateBk 5? Try viewing it in Palm's
Tasks application. We do support the alarms.

The reason that they don't appear on the first sync is that it may
take a while for iCal to sync the data to Sync Service's database.
This generally only happens when the app (iCal) is switched to the
background, or at some other unknown time. Also, there may be a
slight delay with the sync completing.
When you get the default title, it is often because some of the other
event data has synchronized but the entire record hasn't.

Yes, that's the delay in iCal synchronizing.

This forces the sync one last time.

Sorry - I forgot the screenshot I mentioned in my previous reply:
What I have noticed is that ToDo items I create on the Treo that
end up in iCal don't have the alarm parameters set... but their Note
field has an entry that appears to be a DateBk5 means of dealing with
ToDo alarms. I've attached a screenshot so you can see how it appears
in iCal... maybe this will give clues on whether it's possible /
feasible to accommodate this.

Aaron,
We're not going to deal with the DateBk5 method of storing additional
information in the notes field of a record - we read/write the Palm
Task database record format.
DateBk5 adds a bunch of data into the note (not visible as anything
useful) that describes the extended information. It is unlikely that
we'll be supporting this.

Folder Sync does compare file dates when copying files. I'd suggest
contacting support to see if they can help you with your issue.

Folks:
I have a different problem but again about accuracy in syncing.
when I set up a custom repeat in ical things sycn well
Then when I change one item (eg change a meeting from the 3rd
Thursday to the 4rth Thursday or the time on the same day), this
often does not sync
If I change the time of the meeting by a minute or two or put in a
new note, then it syncs.
Why???

Well, after accidentally sending an out of context reply from a
partially related support discussion to the list, I should probably
try to wrap up my original thread with some real information.
The issue I posted about initially was ToDo alarms in iCal not
ending up on my Treo and vice-versa. I use DateBk5 (http://
www.pimlicosoftware.com) which -greatly- enhances the traditional
calendar and task apps on a Palm device while, more or less,
retaining full compatibility with the databases. That keeps apps that
sync from usually having any compatibility issues.
As it turns out, though, alarms on ToDo items are a more recent
development within Palm apps and DateBk5 (in its own way) had been
providing the functionality since long before things like the Treo
650 were doing it natively.
I've talked to the folks at Mark/Space as well as the author at
Pimlico and it all makes sense now. DateBk5 needs to maintain the
functionality it has always had across the whole range of Palm
products. They are aware of the fact that newer devices can natively
do this, but there is no real room left in the 64K space that apps
have to reside in on the architecture to implement the exceptions.
Once a method they are working on for getting around that is
functional, they'll have the headroom needed to write work such
intelligent exceptions in the application and the problem I'm
describing will go away. In addition to this, apparently the methods
used inside the Palm OS for handling ToDo alarms are more than a big
kludgy, so it's not a quick fix in any case.
From Pimlico's very informative email to me today:
"Correct - there is a technical reason why this has not been done yet
- any such code would have to reside in the first 64k segment which
is completely, COMPLETELY full - only 100 bytes left at present - not
enough to support the thousand+ lines of code needed.
The problem is that DateBk has to support the existing alarm format
which works with the standard Palm OS ToDo database (which does not
support alarms) so that all users with standard Palm OS devices have
access to ToDo alarms."
"IN any event, I'm well aware of this and am working now on some type
of overlay structure to get around the 64k limit. When that is done
and code space becomes available, it will be fairly trivial to
address this issue. DateBk DOES already use the proprietary Calendar/
Contacts/Memos databases, it's just the Tasks database which presents
the problem."
So... for the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy the DateBk5
enhancements on my Treo 650 and the super nice functionality
