Gave up and bought Missing Sync for Palm OS

I finally gave up on Leopard ever being able to sync directly with my Palm Treo 650 and bought Mark/Space's Missing Sync for Palm OS ($39.95).
After an hour or so of experimenting with Missing Sync, I'm happy that my Treo and Leopard-loaded Mac are in accurate sync.
It's been very frustrating that Apple and Palm have not fixed this.

today the support person at palm suggested that i purchase missing sync if i wanted to use my leopard mac with the palm (she said they are working on a fix, but don't know when it will be out) -- so i am probably going to do that. how difficult was it to get missing sync to work?

  • Palm Tree 755p + iSync/Missing Sync for Palm/iSync Conduit 1.2

    I'm lost! Being stuck with a new Palm Treo 755p instead of the iPhone until my contract runs out. How do I get my Treo to sync with my Mac? There's iSync, iSync Conduit 1.2 and even Missing Sync for Palm. I'm willing to pay anything just to get things to sync with the Treo & iBook. But, after reading anything and everything I can find even on Discussions ... I'm more confused than ever.
    Can anyone tell me what the real difference is between Missing Sync for Palm vs. iSync & iSync Conduit 1.2?
    If I had that rebate check from uncle Sam maybe I'd go out and pay off Sprint to get out of my 2 year contract and then buy an iPhone, LOL. Oh, that's right we don't get the check until summer
    Any help is appreciated.

    OK, I finally broke down and purchased "Missing Sync," after waiting for Apple to fix this problem. I'm sorry to say that "Missing Sync" does NOT solve this issue completely. It will sync the Address book, but will NOT work with iCal.
    Apparently, "Mark/Space" (the makers of "Missing Sync") are aware of the problems, have identified the problem as Apple's, and reported it to Apple. Here are some of the issues noted on the "Mark/Space" web-page...
    "This article describes situations under which The Missing Sync may report errors or perfomance issues. One error message is specific to iCal (part of Apple's Mac OS X operating system) and describes errors from iCal that are affecting the ability of The Missing Sync from performing sync functions properly."
    "In certain situations, The Missing Sync reports an error message titled 'iCal Sync Errors'. This error is often caused when iCal is attempting to share data with Sync Services. Although this error has little to do with handheld devices, it affects the ability to sync data to or from those devices as Sync Services functions are compromised."
    "THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO APPLE, INC. BY MARK/SPACE."
    "Errors that are not reported in The Missing Sync log may be found in the Console.log file."
    "Here are some of the error messages you may see in the Console:
    iSDSqliteRecordMapper
    SQLite locking issue
    iSynceConcreteSession
    NSInvalidArgumentException
    ICalExternalSync
    ISyncInvalidRecordException
    These error are generated by Sync Services and reported to The Missing Sync."
    So, for those of you hoping that "Missing Sync" will solve the problems we are having with various hand-helds, and/or cell phones, it doesn't completely. I am a huge fan of Mark/Space's "The Missing Sync" and have used it many times throughout the years. It's a great piece of software that does a whole lot more than iSync ever has, but it does NOT solve all of the problems that are being reported all over this forum in regards to iSync issues and hand-helds/cell phones.

  • The Missing Sync for Palm OS v6.0.4 won't run with my Palm Tungsten E2

    Having problems with Palm iSync on My iBook with 10.4.11 I bought The Missing Sync.
    I removed Palm Desktop and installed Missing Sync. However sync won't start when I press the HotSync button.
    Is my Palm Tungsten E2, running Palm OS Garnet v. 3.1.1 too old? 
    If so, can I upgrade it?

    No, there is nothing published - that I am aware of - other than the Missing Sync User Guide that you received [as portable document format file] when you purchased the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
    There is some developer documentation available from Apple, but it has little direct bearing on anything like the issue you are seeing. Your crash logs should have provided an indication of what was going on, and - using them - Mark/Space should have been able to identify your issue pretty easily.
    It's very difficult to troubleshoot unusual issues remotely. Common problems - which can be easily identified - are readily corrected just by following the instructions posted by some knowledgable person here in the Apple Discussions forums. Given the unique circumstances you report of total failure following the installation of the Missing Sync, it's very likely that the actual culprit in your configuration is NOT the Palm desktop, iSync, .Mac Sync, the Missing Sync for Palm OS or your Treo 600. Something unique about your configuration is likely responsible. Trying to eliminate the variables, though, is not an easy task.
    One relatively easy way to troubleshoot such issues is to create a new user, reinstall the Missing Sync and attempt to synchronize using that new user account. If that process is successful, you'll immediately know that something involving your existing user account is responsible for the issue.

  • Do I need to buy Missing Sync for Palm to get memos to work

    Do I need to buy Missing Sync for Palm to get memos to work for my palm? Every thing else worked just fine, but my Memo Conduit which is Disabled Conduits now.
    Brian

    Memos using those conduits are stored in and access using the Palm Desktop.
    I too think that the Missing Sync for Palm OS is a vastly superior way to synchronize contacts, events, memos, tasks and other data that iSync is, but you can simply restore Palm Desktop memo synchronization if that is all you want to do.

  • Calendar Sync for Palm and encryption

    We are converting our Calendar Server to always use encryption. We're not finding any way to specify the encryption in the Calendar Sync conduit. Did we miss it somewhere? If not, how do we force the Calendar Sync for Palm to use encryption?

    There's a bug on the conduits as to were to find needed DLLs. It depends on setting itself in the path via environment variables.
    The thing is that the conduits are not compatible with other Oracle client installations, which also add themselves to the path. An example is Oracle's Instant Client.
    Check your system's path to see if you have any other Oracle client directories before CalSync's directory.
    I had a TAR created for this and supposedly they will be 'patching' it for next version...

  • Diffulty synching with Chaos Sync for Palm

    Lost my old TX, so bought a second-hand replacement. I've loaded Chaos Sync for Palm.
    The Configure button in Hotsync Manager - which I think I need in order to get the system to use Chaos Sync - is greyed out. Syncs fine with Palm Desktop - but that's not what I need?
    Any suggestions as to why the Configure option is currently unavilable?
    Thanks.

    Suggest you refer to Chaos Sync's support.

  • Calendar Sync for Palm won't install Conduit

    Hi, I'm trying to install Calendar Sync for Palm 10.1 on Windows 2K. Installation proceeds with no errors, but the conduit does not appear in the Hotsynch conduit list. It does remove the default conduits for Calendar, Date Book and To-Do. I've tried uninstalling Palm Desktop and Calendar synch, and reinstalling them, no luck. HotSynch works fine with the conduits that are left, and works with the default conduits if I don't install the Oracle Calendar Synch. I can't find any mention of this problems on the forum, does anyone have an idea of what could cause it?
    Thanks.

  • Mark/Space releases version 4 of the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile OS

    Mark/Space has released the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile version 4, which offers many feature improvements. Among them, likely the most important is support for the Windows Mobile 6 operating system.
    A full list of what's new in this release is available here.

    I installed the beta version of Missing Sync last night. It seems to be working well (contacts and calendar). Note that only Bluetooth connections are supported and you must read the detailed instructions for getting this to work.
    I have yet to try a software installation.
    I tried running Activesync 4.2 within Virtual PC 7 but it was hopeless so needed a Mac solution.

  • Anyone using "Missing Sync for iPhone"? Any alternatives?

    I have had enough trouble with Mark/Space software's Missing Sync for iPhone 2.0 that I'm pulling my hair out. It is consistently finding conflicts and just keeps popping them up on the screen, and the conflicts are jibberish that make no sense.
    I had this trouble with earlier versions of this software, and it digs so deep into your system that even when you're installing software, it will pop up, which scares me as I don't want other apps running while doing something like this.
    Now I updated to 2.0, because I thought maybe it would be resolved. No such luck. Now, programs randomly crash saying it's "Missing Sync" app that is crashing, etc, etc. I need to get rid of this program but I want something that is similar: A way to keep/download my call logs and text messages.
    Just curious if there are other programs out there that don't run deep in your system, etc.
    I've tried and tried to get this resolved from Mark/Space, but their support is abysmal, no answers about what's going on.
    Any insight would be great, thanks

  • Oracle Calendar Sync for Palm - Not Intel Mac compatible?

    I've tried installing the Oracle Calendar Sync for Palm on my Intel-based iMac and the installer crashes just after authenticating. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
    Usually applications will install and then fail later if there is a compatibility problem with the Intel processors. This is the first application I've seen that simply won't install. Any ideas?

  • Oracle Calendar Sync for Palm UPDATE

    Any idea the ETA for the Oracle Calendar Sync for Palm upade that will address the problems with the new Palm OS 5.2.1?

    Where can I find this new version ?

    I have a license for Creative Suite CS3 and bought an upgrade for CS5 a few years later. Would the original serial number for CS3 be the same for my CS5 version?

    No... if you do not have CS3 installed, you will enter your CS3 serial number when asked for proof of a qualifying product... and then you will enter your different CS5 serial number... every version, new or upgrade, has a unique serial number

  • Which JVM and APIs are better for Palm application development

    Hi All,
    Any body tell me which JVM and APIs are better for palm device application development. A want to create a good GUI based application on Palm.
    Please suggest me.
    Thanks
    Jack

    hi jack...
    You can use ibm's wsdd(websphere device developer) as plugin to wsad(websphere application developer) for developing web applications which can be run on palm devices. It uses j9(ibm's implemention of jvm).
    thanks...

  • Tungsten T5 iSync, HotSync, Missing Sync for iCal, Mail and Address Book

    I have just been given an old Palm Tungsten T5 and have been looking at the various options available to make it do what I need with regard to syncing it with my G5 PPC iMac with 10.4.11.
    I use the T5 only when I am away (from the iMac) and travelling and would like a set- up that allows me to sync, in this order of priority:
    iCal, including annual events such as birthdays, and differently colour-coded calendars and, if possible, to dos although these are less important
    Mail
    Address Book, in which I really only have e-mail addresses
    According to some old threads on the subject, Missing Sync appears to be the program of choice for syncing iCal and Address Book, but not Mail. Instead there appears to be something called Mail.App Conduit 2.0.1 requiring at least Palm Desktop 4, and presumably HotSync.
    Is there a single program that will sync all three of these Mac applications effectively? If not, am I going to have to (buy and install and then) uninstall Missing Sync and Palm Desktop (or HotsSync) alternately?
    Is iSync a real option?
    Or is there some clever way of using one or more programs to start with and then switch over to just one?
    I would be grateful for any advice as to how to deal with this. Thank you.
    Nick

    I don't know if you can do this with the Centro. I should have mention that I was talking about webOS (Pre and Pixi). To sync with webOS you need Mac OS 10.5 or later for iCal, and 10.6 for Address Book.

  • I have an iphone 4 and bought a 4s for my daughter last summer, she didn't like it, so i gave it to my other daughter. We have reset the 4s and my younger daughter, put the appleid she had was using with her ipod touch so i can no longer locate her phone

    I try changing appleid in general and all icloud and other settings but hers always come back. Is there a way i could change that and it stays there so i don't have to erase and download everything that a 12 year old kid could download in 24 hours?
    Please help me it's capital!

    I read the article thanks.   I tried the settings-general-reset-reset network settings-reboot system-go to wifi settings-select wireless connection-select the ">"-symbol-select auto for http proxy.   I was optimistic about that because I thought I changed some setting somehow to cause this problem, but it didn't work.  More specifically, I did connect successfully and browsed the Internet for a good while, but then I put down the phone for a minute, the phone went into sleep/power save mode, and when I picked it back up a moment later it was no longer connected.  Dang.   Had to select the connection and use my password yet again. 
    Another valuable bit of info for you.   The only network with which I have this problem is my home.   I use all kinds of devices at home and no other devices have this problem.  Also, I use this iPhone all over with various wifi networks at hotels and starbucks and family's homes with no issues whatsoever.  It remembers and automatically reconnects with every wireless network except the one in my own house.
