Documents to Go and Mac sync

Got my new Palm Centro to sync with my Mac (10.4.xx) and except for one item it does great. The one area I have problems in is syncing an .xls spreadsheet (produced by Numbers or NeoOffice). If I try it with NeoOffice the names come over but not the figures. If I use Numbers I have to send the spreadsheet as an email attachment. I have isolated the .xls file on my Desktop in a Folder called "Palm" and point it in that direction but it won't sync (I modified Folders so it would look in that folder. Do I have to have Office on my Mac (i.e., is the fact I am using either Numbers or NeoOffice the problem)??
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Excel files (.xls) don't have to be in any specific place on your computer. Using the desktop Documents To Go application, simply drag the file you want to sync with your Palm into the application window.
The top half of the Documents To Go window will sync a file directly into the application and data memory space on your Palm. If you are using this memory space, you will need to convert the file into a .pdb file (this will be handled for you as Palm OS only allows you to load .prc and .pdb files directly into RAM. You can load any file you want on an SD card.)
Drag and drop any file you want to the memory card. You will not be required to convert files stored on an SD card. This is how I get most of my files on to my Treo. I use the SD card section of the Documents To Go window and leave the files in their native file formats.
Hope that helps.

Are you syncing both with the cable to itunes and with icloud? That tends to duplicate your information. Choose one source with which to sync

10.5.2 and .Mac sync - is this a bug ??

I just updated from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2 today. Now I get this .Mac sync icon in the top menu. I never have a .Mac account and I certainly do not use the .Mac sync application as such.
So, why is this icon now showing up in my menu bar? When I click on it, I have two options - Sync Now and Open .Mac Sync Preference which they both don't work. When I try to select 'stop .mac sync' from system preference, it complains I do not have a .mac account.
How do I get rid of this? This is so frustrating.
Please help!

i did a little more research and found a similar thread on this topic. a user named Diana provided a solution by going into iSync.

ICal and .Mac sync...arrgh

First...I am newbie to Macs. Trying to sync my iMac and Powerbook using .Mac. How do I get each to show as a registed computer?
Each computer has a .Mac account
imac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

skookum,
There is no need for an additional/separate .Mac account on each computer. Each computer should be registered/signed-in using the same .Mac account.
Additionally, the computers that you use for syncing must have different names.
Use the intructions for "Unregister and re-register the computer under a new name." provided in: iSync: How to troubleshoot sync issues related to .Mac

2G iPod Touch and .Mac Sync - won't do it anymore

Hello!
I bought my new, second-gen iPod touch just after they came out. When it got here, I set it up for syncing contacts, calenders, mail, etc with dotMac (or Mobile Me technically). It did indeed work just fine.
Then, I managed to freeze the iPod up, and it needed a restore. During the restore sync, iTunes copied all the data from the backup over to the iPod, including all the contacts and such - but since then, I cannot sync. Both the iPod and the Mac seem to have the correct Mobile Me settings, and it seems that it shouldn't have a problem. Indeed, the Mac (my MacBook Pro) syncs events just fine to the .Mac servers, such that I can access them online. Yet, calender entries won't sync from my computer to the iPod or vise versa. Yes, the iPod has a internet connection - safari can access the web just fine (as can the App Store, iTunes, etc)
I tried resetting, power cycling, erasing the Mobile Me settings and re-entering them, and even another restore - none of these worked.
What can I do to reset the sync system, and make the iPod sync again?

Unresolved discrepancies involving iCal .Mac Sync process

And unfortunately syncing calendars between my MacBook Pro, .Mac and my wife's MacBook has been on the fritz since at work we recently migrated to a groupware suite called Zimbra, which encompasses e-mail, contacts, calendars. Hmph.
Curiously, in my recent problem solving attempts, I discovered my web-based .Mac contacts and bookmarks aren't accurately syncing either. Does anybody even use web-based .Mac bookmarks? LOL.
Before dragging my entire issue onto the mat, are there folks out there who have encountered and have been able to solve the problem?
Thanks!
John

I think my problem has something to do with the entries here:
iCal > Preferences > Accounts >
That's where Zimbra puts my work CalDav account. My Zimbra calendars appear in their own Group in the sources pane of iCal. I tried deleting the Zimbra account to see what happens but it looks like Zimbra puts its account right back in there at the time of my next Sync. I'm not sure how that part works. So it appears as if there might be a conflict between iCal Groups and .Mac syncing...
Thoughts anyone?

Why does iSync now open when I activate .Mac sync?

I use iSync on my PowerBook G4 to sync Calendars with my cellphone, and since I installed Leopard last week, whenever I activate .Mac sync to sync my computers, iSync automatically opens and attempts to sync my phone while .Mac is syncing. And I get a "synchronization failed, restart phone" message from iSync even when my cell is on & available to sync. iSync and .Mac sync were formerly 2 separate processes and I would like to keep it that way, but I find nothing in iSync preferences that looks like a way to solve the problem. When I open iSync independently, it syncs the phone just fine, and the .Mac sync is working fine too.

Hi there,
It seems you have something in the back that's playing music. Did you try closing plugin containter in Task Manager?
This could be also if you have pinned a website in the Application tab that has background music. (like a gaming site)
If this helped you, please mark my answer as "Solved!".
Thanks,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

Hi,
We changed the iCloud account on the Mac Book and now we can not use some part of iCloud like Documents, etc on the Mac book to sync to iPad.
It says it is not the principal account.

Sync reading location pdf file on ipad and mac

Is there anyway to keep the reading location sync'd between an ipad and a mac with a pdf file?
I have the pdf file in the ibook library that is sync'd between my ipad and mac, however, my
reading location doesn't seem to be updated.

Not sure what a "Preview File" is ... but I will assume you mean a PDF file.
First of all, Apple products are very good at reading PDF files. In general, you don't need any special PDF viewer, as these are built in.
The place I would store PDF documents is in the iBooks reader. iBooks is a free app available in the App Store. It is where you would keep books you purchase in the App Store. Those books are stored in iTunes on your computer. You can store your PDFs there too.
To find PDFs, open iBooks, click on the "Books" button and then select PDFs.
