Can't sync Palm with Mac through iSync, only syncs with Palm Desktop

I have an older Palm Tungsten T3 that I use basically only to run a medical application that I need at work (ePocrates, which has its own conduit and auto-updates itself with hotsyncs). I haven't tried to sync it to my Mac for a long time. I use iCal for my calendaring needs, sync it with my iPod, and ignore the old stuff that's on the Palm, which I hardly ever even sync.
Today I had to reinstall the Epocrates software, and decided while I was at it I'd try to get the Palm syncing with the Mac (iCal, contacts, etc) again because it would be nice for it to show the same calendar data.
I reinstalled the newest version of Palm Desktop from scratch. Installed the ePocrates software on top of it. I have iSync 2.4. My Palm was not listed as a device initially. I chose "Enable Palm OS Syncing" from the menu; iSync then went through a series of steps in which it disabled several conduits (presumably to no longer sync with the Palm Desktop), then told me to enable the iSync Palm conduit through the HotSync manager, which I did.
I now show the Palm as a device on iSync, but it has a yellow caution icon over it and I'm not sure why. Clicking on it shows an options dialog. I chose for the first sync I wanted to erase everything on the device and then sync with the Mac. My syncs appear to work, but when the data is checked it seems to sync only with Palm Desktop. The old junky data on the Palm was not erased as requested. Newer calendar events and contacts from my Mac have not made it to the Palm. The ePocrates auto update conduit is working fine but that's the only part that is.
Any idea what's incompatible, or what I'm doing wrong here?

I have The Missing Sync and used it to sync my palm TX. I am now in the process of trying to get iCal going properly again. No longer have any calender views in iCal and the week views don't show until I have opened a month view and then go back to the week view. Very bizzare. Also have a heap of untitled calendar views in the drop down list option when looking at the info on any event - these calendar views are not accessible anywhere else though.
I'm not sure if it is Missing Sync or something I did wrong at present. Will also throw the problem to the Missing Sync people to see what they say. Will let you know. It seemed to work really well without needing the palm desktop!

  • Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

    Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

    Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
    Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

    I can no longer mirror and of my monitors VGA or HDMI, my itunes which supplies iphone and ipad has disabled podcast app so that I can't listen to my favorite programs and I find out after the fact that Office software is not compatible with OSX 8.6.
    Forget about the fact that itunes looks like it was developed by a 1980s MS-DOS programmer.   Its kludgy, limited and generally does not work.
    What does one do?  Frankly, I used to use macs because they were like info appliances that just worked.  Now the time to manage tech glitches from the company has become way too costly.  Sadly, Apple has become Microsoft and Microsoft seems to become Apple.

    "... as do the users who are downloading recent OSXs in record numbers."
    USUALLY YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU DOWNLOAD UNTIL YOU HAVE IT !!!
    APPLE USED TO HAVE GREAT STUFF BUT OBVIOUSLY TRIES TO INVENT FOR THE SAKE OF INVENTING !!!
    THIS IS ACTUALLY A STEP BACKWARDS (TO MS).
    CALENDAR & CONTACTS SYNC VIA ICLOUD ONLY IS AN ABSOLUTE NO GO !!!
    @APPLE: FIX THIS ASAP !!!

  • How can I record a guitar and my voice (only voice with mic) at the same time ?, how can I record a guitar and my voice (only voice with mic) at the same time ?

    how can I record a guitar and my voice (only voice with mic) at the same time ? I have one interface with Input 1 mic, Input 2 guitar, everything is working correct, but how can I activate multi recording or something like that... thanks

    Set your inputs on your channel strips and make sure you have one set to input 1 and the other input 2.  Arm the 2 audio tracks(the "R" in the track header. They will turn red and flash), then hit the record button. 

  • I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but  it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
    I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
    Thanks,
    Best Wishes

    When did you buy it?
    Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
    What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.  Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

    I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but  it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number  but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID.   Please Help me I speak Spanish so  if my English is not ok  I´m sorry about it.
    Do you think that apple has to   reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s?? 

    I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more.  I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
    Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

    This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

  • CAN I SYNC GAMES FROM IPAD THAT IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH IPAD TO MAC PRO?

    hi there! can i sync games to my mac pro that i bought from my ipad, and its only compatible with ipad,iphone or ipod?

    You can sync apps through iTunes, as a backup. You can't run those apps on your Mac, though.

  • Switching to AT&T Cingular - best phone for use with Mac and iSync

    Dear Friends,
    I am finally about to be free from Sprint's poor customer service. I will be switching to AT&T / Cingular. (Not quite ready to buy an iPhone, but don't want to be locked into a 2 year contract with another provider).
    I want to use Apple's iSync. I have reviewed the list of compatible devices and scanned the forums for related topics.
    I'm still left wondering:
    What is the best phone to get with AT&T for use with iSync?
    I would like to sync contacts both ways. If possible, syncing cal events and to-dos would be nice, but not as important as contacts.
    I prefer small flip phones. I don't plan to buy the Media pack service that includes text, web, etc. Instead, I will use the phone for calls and occassional text messages.
    Sound quality and the ease of use are the most important features for me. I prefer raised keys to the flat keypads, but could give on this if need be.
    Finally, using the phone as a modem with my laptop would be nice, but is not essential.
    Thanks so much for any help you can offer.
    David

    I am facing the exact same question regarding, e.g., the Nokia 6126. There are several references:
    1. Go to the Nova Media web site and look at their new product, Fone Link. Or their iSynch Plugins
    2. One of the forum threads references, http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060915154526806
    3. Another link I found http://soapbox.co.nz/past/2007/4/9/nokia-6126-and-isync-revisited/
    But what I don't yet understand is whether or not any of these suggestions/solutions are affected by the carrier. My understanding is that the 6126 is the North America Version of the 6131. But I talked to ATT/Cingular support yesterday and they make some modifications to the phone software. They don't know if the ATT 6126 will synch with a Mac. Of course they know the answer if synching with a PC (!!)

  • Syncing Treo 680 with Mac PIMs (using Missing Sync)

    Thanks to Michael Lafferty's excellent advice, I was ready to start syncing my Treo 680 with Mac's PIMs using Missing Sync. However, after extensive research and asking questions on five different forums, I'm getting conflicting advice. H
    Here's my Treo PIMs situation:
    Calendar 802K (6378 events/12 categories)
    Contacts 1285K (2306/13)
    Memos 184K (52/14)
    Tasks 79K (250/10)
    Here are the issues that I have received conflicting answers about:
    1. I have 9 custom fields on my Treo with a lot of information in them. These are critical fields to me. It took me many days to pull this info out of my Contacts notes and enter in these 9 custom fields for 2306 contacts. Is it true that I cannot sync these 9 customs fields with Mac's Address Book? I've been told many times that this won't happen. If it can be done, will changes that I make in data entries for these fields in the Mac Address Book sync properly and be reflected on my Treo.
    2. Can the conduits be set to "handheld overwrites Mac"? I've been told that it cannot. This and #1 are deal killers for me.
    3. I have seven phone fields on my Treo. They are in this exact order:
    work (1701 entries)
    home (209)
    Fax (291)
    email (201)
    mobile (201)
    pager (31)
    main (145)
    Will I be able to successfully sync these with Mac's Address Book? If not, is there any reason that I couldn't take whatever fields won't sync and move them to some of the Treo 9 custom fields? The last question is moot if custom fields are not supported.
    4. I average about 12 categories for each of my 4 PIMs. Do these all sync over correctly to the Mac PIMs?
    5. I also have Treo notes attached to many, if not most, of my Contacts, Calendar events and Tasks. Will these all sync properly with the Mac PIMs such that I can make changes on either side of the equation and have them reflected after syncing on the other side?
    6. Are there any other limitations in my ability to faithfully be able to recreate my 4 Treo 680 PIMs accurately and completely in the Mac PIMs?
    I realize that any reference to non-Address Book PIMs is off-target. I hope you'll excuse me dumping the other three PIMs into the mix. My primary concern is Treo Contacts/Mac Address Book.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Treo 680 (DateBk6)

    Q: I have 9 custom fields on my Treo with a lot of information in them…
    A: The Missing Sync does not synchronize custom Address Book fields between a Palm device and your Address Book application, but will not remove those fields from the Palm if the conduits are set to synchronize. If your conduit is set to the nonstandard Overwrite handheld with desktop data, the custom fields will be overwritten. I point this out because it is, at times, necessary to make a choice like this, and as a result: its bye-bye custom field data!
    The Missing Sync cannot perform custom field synchronization because the Sync Services framework does not allow The Missing Sync to create new fields in Address Book to match your Palm custom fields.
    Q: Can… conduits be set to handheld overwrites [desktop]?
    A: No, because again, the framework does not support this specific type of bidirectional data transfer.
    Q: I have seven phone fields on my Treo…
    A: This is an issue primarily with the manner in which a Palm device handles such information. Though they are displayed in a particular manner on your device, they are not necessarily stored in a specific order by the Palm contact application, and can only be retrieved when labeled with an expected or 'accepted' field label. This issue gets complicated quickly, but in short…
    • only the first seven phone numbers sent to your device by the framework are written to the device
    • the order is not something that can be controlled by a developer, and it is not necessarily the order displayed in either the Address Book contact record on your Palm device
    • the Palm contact application does not distinguish between phone number and electronic mail address, though Mark/Space parses the data to look for the @ character—and, finding it—handles it as an electronic mail address
    • only one of the several IM addresses you maintain in an Address Book contact record is transfered, and only one URL is transfered
    • Palm categories are mapped to equivalent Address Book groups
    As to synchronizing additional data to Palm custom fields, that's not supported. The place to put such data is in the Note: or Notes: field.
    Q: I average about 12 categories…
    A: As I suggested above, category and group equivalents are recognized and synchronized. Be sure that you name the ones you intend to synchronize identically in both environments.
    Q: I also have Treo notes attached…
    A: Again, these should synchronize bidirectionally, without issue.
    Q: Are there any other limitations in my ability to faithfully be able to recreate…
    A: Oh, yeah: because the data field labels and contents do not map 1:1, it is nearly impossible to create identical records in both environments. Look for the common abilities…
    • a maximum of seven telephone numbers and electronic mail addresses
    • a single IM identifier
    • a single URL
    …and work within those bounds. You can generally store and synchronize any additional identifiers in a Note: or Notes: record, but this is clearly less flexible and potentially more problematic than storing them in matching fields.
    You briefly mentioned the other PIMs on your Palm device, and their OS X rough equivalents. Those controlled by Mark/Space OS X bundled applications will not be an issue: memos, for example. Their are Palm OS quirks which result in inequalities. The most obvious of these is the iCal multiple day event which spans two or more days in iCal, but which is represented on a Palm as only a single day event, displayed on the first day alone.

  • Need help with Mac Pro (2008) iCloud sync problem

    I am using a Mac Pro (Early 2008) with multiple drives and partitions, some of which I use for various software testing.  I wanted to have access to the same data on various partitions, so I tried to use iCloud to store some Pages files. I found that in the Mountain Lion Partition that I normally use, that the document data ( Pages, Numbers, etc) would not upload to the cloud... just showed as waiting. All other iCloud Data ( Calendar, Address Book , etc) did sync fine. If I accessed iCloud using a browser or looked on iClould using the iCloud Manage function in the iCloud system preferences, I could see all the files.  I then found that I did have another Mountain LIon partition in which the data syncing all worked.  Other testing showed that if I did a clone of the working partition using SuperDuper, the clone worked properly, but if I did a clean install of 10.8.4, the document data did not sync.If I did a clean install and used the migration assistant to migrate from the working partition, it still did not work.  I later found that if I replaced the top level Library file in a non working partition with the one from the working partition, that I could make the non working partition sync properly. I have not been able to find a subset of the folder that would make things work, but have not tried every combination. At this point my only conclusion is that there must be a bug in the 10.8.4 installer. Apple has been working on this for a few weeks, but has not found anything and cannot duplicate... but they are testing with iMacs.
    Is there anyone with a Mac Pro (2008) who can do a clean install of 10.8.4 on a partition and see if they can still access their iCloud data (Pages, Numbers, Etc). If so that would probably confirm the otherwise unexplanable problem.

  • Syncing between two Mac through .Mac not working

    I work on a G5 at home OSX 10.4, I have calendars set up for work, home and hold (hold dates for clients) I sync to .Mac from the G5 OK, when I open iCal on my G4 iBook (signed on with the same .Mac membership info) only previous dates appear in the G4, future dates are blank. Calendar names from G5 show up on G4 no problem just no events. When I go to the URL of my calendar from my G5 I see the current calendar no problem, when I go to the URL of the same calendar on my G4 there are no events listed.
    I thought I was supposed to be able to see my calendars on all of my Macs, am I doing something wrong?

    Does each computer have a unique registered identity? Do both identities appear in the .Mac Sync pane when you press the Advanced tab? While one account is used to synchronize multiple clients, each client must have a unique identity.
    You can get more help in the forums regarding .Mac Sync issues by browsing, searching and posting in this forum area:

    You can also submit a support request on .Mac itself under the Help section, by using a web form accessed when you press the Sync icon.

  • Syncing iphone and mac through iCloud

    I have set up icloud on my mac desktop and iphone and for the most part my contacts are syncing back and forth when I go in to make any alterations or add or delete anything. Now for some reason I have duplicate names on my phone but not on my contacts on my mac.... why does this not sync. Also under some of my contacts I will have the cell numbers inputed on my back but will not appear on my iphone, any suggestions how to fix this?

    FINALLY SOLVED -- The list that would not sync from my iPhone was one that had my name. I changed the name of the list with my own name to To Do Today. I tried to delete it but it was not possible. I realized that it is a permanent list wih my name. I started another list and it synced fine.
    I thought Notes were not syncing to my Mac. I realized that my Mac had a setting whereby the creation date of the note is preserved. If I add to it, the date would stay the same.
    However, on my iPhone and iPad, the notes are set to update the date whenever a note is modified. So the modified notes were syncing, but on my devices they appeared with the current date at the top of the list of notes, but on my Mac the change was down with the original date.
