Hot synch iMac at home, PC at office

Question

Just got an iMac and though I love it, there's a learning curve!  I just installed OS 6.2 on both the Mac (Mac version) and PC version.  I was told when buying the Mac that there's software to allow me to convert at one or both ends and/or into/out of the PDA (Tungsten E2).  Advice?  Nate
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

I'll answer your questions in RED below. The version of Palm desktop on your MAC should be 4.2.1. Is this what you have?
When synching, Calendar is incomplete.  Some data imports; a great deal of other data is missing.  It appears that items marked with category "Personal at Work" are missing.  That category is present in the Categories list in Edit.  Not sure why the data is missing.
Is there a difference between Datebook and Calendar?  I presently have both conduits set for device to overwrite the Mac -- based on fact that the device has synched successfully from office PC and I wanted not to miss something.  On computer, the "calendar" is called Datebook. The "calendar" is the name newer devices use instead of datebook. Datebook was the name for calendar on older devices. When you sync, the unused conduit should disappear.
Synch to iMac: no addresses imported at all. Make sure the conduit for contacts and addresses are set to syncronize the files and see if that will work.
Hotsynch log showed "Date book did nothing"  "Contacts did nothing" (although that was checked for device to overwrite -- or are 'Contacts' the addresses?) and showed "Address Book did nothing" If both conduits did nothing, then no data sync'ed. I am not sure what the cause of this is at this point.
Log showed "Calendar synchronization failed Calendar failed (error = there is not enough memory.")  Is this on the handheld or the MAC?
Memos et al. -- how do I manage preferences? E.g. deleting "date" from the menu bar? Not sure what you mean. Are you referring to the status bar on the bottom of the screen and the clock icon? You cannot remove the clock from the status bar, that I am aware of. Look in the user guide for the information regarding managing preferences.
On iMac version, where do I hide/show Private categories?  How do I show/hide "Daily" beside the monthly view of Calendar? This is not an option in Palm desktop for MAC.
Palm Help consistently resulted in this error message: "Internet connection required
The help topic you’re opening requires an Internet connection. Choose Apple > System Preferences, and then click Network to check your network settings and, if necessary, connect to the Internet." 
I followed directions.  I am on internet through Safari and connection is wireless (e.g. I'm sending this.) What am I missing? I am not sure about this error message and why it is happening.
