Data transfer from old to new Palm using HotSync Manager and iSync

I'm upgrading from a Palm m515 to a Palm TX and want to quickly and easily transfer all of my data and applications. I'm using Palm's HotSync Manager but not the Palm Desktop software -- I'm using Apple's iSync to synchronize my data with iCal and Address Book.
Can anyone tell me what steps I should follow to safely accomplish the transfer?
I was hoping someone had written a guide to this, but Web searching revealed nothing. The best info I found was on Palm's site, but these pages don't take iSync into account and assume people are using Palm Desktop:

Thanks in advance!

Just use Migration Assistant when you start the new machine. You can choose to migrate from either the old MBP or your TM backup.
If you have already taken delivery of the new machine and are using it you can still do this by running Migration Assistant.
It's pretty simple process.

  • Backup and data transfer from old to new iphone

    I recently upgraded to the iphone 5s from iphone 4 and need to backup and transfer data from old phone to the new phone.  I want to backup using itunes rather than using icloud.  Do I need to disable icloud backup on the old phone before I start the backup process.  Do I need to disable anything on my computer (icloud).  I am using Windows Vista and Itunes Version 10.7.  Would appreciate step by step instructions for backup and transfer..  I am not computer or iphone saavy and don't want to mess things up.

    If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
    Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
    If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
    If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
    The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
    Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
    To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

  • Trouble with "data transfer" from old computer. Cannot open documents. Please help! Thank you.

    Apple did a "data transfer" from our old computer onto our new iMac, and we cannot open any of our old documents that were "transfered." When I open them in "TextEdit," all I get is a lot of random letters and symbols. I've tried everything, please help. Thank you!

    What old documents, you need to be much more specific. The info we are loooking for is what app created them, what the file extension is etc...

  • ITunes data transfer from old HD is missing songs

    I replaced the HD on my iMac. The old HD was OK but I didn't want to take chances. I used super duper to transfer the old data to the new HD prior to replacing it. After replacing the HD I loaded SL and then transferred the data and apps over from the old HD using migration assistant. Now I get random error messages everytime I open iTunes. They say ' "Song Name" is not authorized on this computer'. If I go to authorize the computer it tells me that this computer is already authorized for this Apple ID. Now several of my purchased songs are not showing up ["Song Name" Can not be found] and it seems to find more songs to have a problem with every time I open iTunes. Is this a data transfer error? Old iTunes ID error? Thanks!

    Sounds like the data simply did not transfer.
    If you still have access to the old hard drive, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old drive to the new drive.

  • Transfer from old to new Mac impossible

    I can't transfer the information from old G5 to a new Mac Pro 8 core. Using T mode, as described, transfer doesn't occur after two hours at all. There is a window "Transferring information" but nothing happens. Using SuperDuper! or Migration Assistant from OS10.4.10 to copy the entire bootable volume from the external HD, is impossible. However, it's possible to copy the old volume to a second, non startup disk, but without libraries, which is worthless.
    Do I have to manually transfer the libraries to the new computer in order to use the old applications? It's going to take for ever. I have no idea why the simple transfer from the old Mac to the new doesn't work as advertise.
    Milan

    When you booted up the new machine the first time, did you use the migration assistant? If not, you might want to try using the Restore disk and restore the Mac Pro to its factory state. Also, take a look at:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25773 and A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs. Those should get you started in the right direction.

  • HT4527 did library transfer from old to new computer but some files can't be located

    I did a itunes library transfer from my old computer to my new computer. However when I select to play some of the songs from my new computer I get a message saying the file can't be located. This does not haqppen on the old computer. Any suggestions that might fix this problem.
    Both computers have Windows OS's and I have the newest versions of I Tunes.

    It seems you havent copied the actual music files over.

  • Entourage data transfer from old computer

    Firewired Entourage Microsoft User info from my PowerBook G4 to the new MacBook Pro>Documents then launched Entourage expecting the old data to transfer. Didn't happen. Even tried to put a copy in hard drive. Anyone know the answer?

    It's not automatic unless you manually replace the default user data file that Entourage creates when it's installed. There's an "Import Wizard" under Entourage's File menu. It should walk you through the process. It moves the old data into the new default folder.
    The only trouble I had in importing is that, with two HDs and four partitions, I mixed up older backups and the most recent user file that I needed to import. Eventually, my feeble brain remembered where I put it and the import took only seconds.

  • Data transfer from 4.6C to ECC6 using bcp

    Hi experts,
      Is there any risk to use bcp transfer customized tables(Z*) beucase I find using R3trans is too slow and I have data volume about 65GB(compressed). I think it takes me about 3-5 days to import. And I use bcp -n, would this cause any data inconsistence?

    Yes, it's OK.

  • Sorry, new.  How to get rid of files left from firewire transfer from old to new mac shows up in finder.

    When I transferred files by firewire from a macbook to a macbook (snow leopard) I find some type of files in the finder of the newer mac.   They look like
    user files and appear to show network connections or something I do not recognize, I don't seem to be able to delete these files for some reason.  Is there
    any way short of formatting and starting over please??
    Thanks

    The best method is to archive the contents of the TC to a disk.. archive is available via the airport utility.
    Simply plug in a USB drive large enough to store all the material presently on the TC, 1TB or 2TB or 3TB.. whichever model it is.
    Archive I have drawn red box around.
    Once the archive has completed ..
    Use the Erase disk.. just the Quick erase is ok.. takes a couple of min and then you have a nice empty drive to start loading TM backups on.

    Hi Pradeep,
    As far as I could search, there is no built-in feature to batch updating InfoPath forms, I’d suggest you consider script or third party tool. Here are the links that might help:
