How do I (safely) disconnect Palm from Isync?

How do I uninstall isync and ical conduits and go back to plain old Palm software? (Been using isync for over a year, but never really liked it.)
I have lots of data on my palm.
Currently using palm desktop 4.2.1 with osx.4.7.
Thanks!

It's actually easier than you imagine.
First, remove your device from iSync using the Remove Device command under the file menu with your device selected.
Then, navigate to this location to find the the Conduits folder, the DIsabled Conduits folder, and perhaps an iSync Disabled Conduits folder:
Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync
Open the Conduits folder, and move the conduit named Apple to the Disabled Conduits folder. Open the Disabled Conduits folder [or, more likely the iSync Disabled Conduits folder if there is one] and move the standard Palm conduits back into the active Conduits folder. They are, the…
• Calendar Conduit [and the Datebook Conduit it replaced]
• Contacts Conduit [and the Address Conduit it replaced]
• Memos Conduit [and the Memo Conduit it replaced]
• Notepad Conduit
• Tasks Conduit [and the ToDo Conduit it replaced…]
Though the two generations of Palm calendaring, contact, memo and tasks conduits would logically seem to conflict, they do not: the Palm Desktop is 'smart' enough to pick the appropriate conduit to use with your device.
Be sure to use the HotSync Manager to configure each conduit initially to Handheld overwrites Macintosh, in order to preserve the records on your handheld organizer or smartphone and transfer them to the Palm Desktop. After performing the first synchronization with the Palm Desktop in this manner, you should then reconfigure the conduits to Synchronize, so that subsequent events added, deleted or modified in either environment are transfered to the other.
Be sure that you simply stop using iSync, the Address Book and iCal but do not remove them from your computer, to avoid creating all sorts of unexpected issues.
If you like the way that the Address Book and iCal operate, but do not like using iSync, consider purchasing the Missing Sync for Palm OS which replaces iSync, is fully Sync Services compliant, includes options for synchronizing memos, iPhoto and iTunes content, and provides a much more robust and reliable experience than iSync.

    Sounds like the wifi isn't processing the data fast enough for video streaming.  Have you tried resetting your wifi hub ?  Switch it off for a couple of minutes and then restart it.  See if that makes any difference.

    You can also click the little "Eject" button next to the disk in the Finder sidebar, or right-click the disk and choose the option to eject, or select it and press Command-E, all as alternative options to eject the drive.

  • TS2363 How do you safely disconnect an iPod when you have this problem?

    The 'safely remove hardware' on lower right of screen says " Windows can't stop your ' Apple iPod USB Device' beacause a program is still using it. Close any programs that might be using  the device, and then try again later." iTunes is closed and I cannot reopen it.

    By now, you've probably turned off the computer. That would allow you to safely disconnect the ipod. If not - do it.
    The usual cause is precisely as it says; a programme is still using, or working with, the iPod, and often it is your anti-virus software that is running a check on the iPod storage. It could also be any programme that you were using to modify a file that is on the iPod. For example, if you modify a photo (thta's on your iPod) in a photo application, and leave the application open, that may cause the issue.
    But I notice one thing you said.

    You should be using the eject button in iTunes, not the Windows one and you should eject before closing iTunes.
    See the eject icon next to the word iPod.
    Alternatively, if you have the sidebar showing, the iPod and the eject button will appear in the left sidebar.

  • I am new to mac.  I have a Mac Book Air with an external CD drive.  How do you safely disconnect the external drive when done without having to power off the laptop?

    I know there is a way to safely "disconnect" the USB, I just can't remember what it is.  Thanks

    Hi kbstuckr,
    Go to your Finder. You will see the drive listed with a little arrow with a bar below it next to the drive. Click on that to "eject" it.
    Cheers,

  • How do I safely uninstall Genieo from FireFox from Laptop on OS 10.6.8?

    April 7 I wanted to download a free book from a Google search (Concluding Unscientific Postscript by Soren Kierkegaard) in PDF format, in following the prompts I wound up with a homepage called Genieo. It has a clickable "Remove Genieo" but requested your Mac password to proceed. Alarmed, I backed out at that point! I turned off wi-fi and was able to delete it from my Applications folder, and do a secure empty trash, but it continues to exist and come up as my browser home page. I don't use it, but want to get rid of it. THANKS!

  • When I plug my shuffle into my PC it says in ITunes that it is syncing, but when I safely disconnect and plug in my ear phones the shuffles tells me to download music from iTunes and there is no music on it.

    When I plug my shuffle into my PC it says in iTunes that it is syncing, but when I safely disconnect it from the PC and plug my earphones into my shuffle it says I need to sync music from iTunes.  What should I be doing differently?

    Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    Type "move itunes library from pc to mac" or similar into the google search bar.

    I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
    But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
    iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
    Also see this , -> Download past purchases
    and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
    Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
    Actually, no it does not tell you that.
    FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

  • [Tutorial] How to Disconnect Spotify from Facebook

    How to Disconnect Spotify from Facebook
    This is not an officially supported Spotify workaround. 
    It seems to be a common request on the community to want to disconnect accounts from Facebook. 
    If you wish to do this, then follow the instructions below closely. 
    Please note: It is highly recommended that you log in and cancel your subscription IF and ONLY IF you are planning to deactivate your Facebook and you have Spotify account created with Facebook , as once you have done that, you may not be able to log in to cancel. You may also want to log into your online profile and set all the email notifications to "Never" to stop Spotify sending you emails on that account. 
    This serves as a "Do It Yourself" guide since it is the fastest way to disconnect from Facebook. If you have a premium/unlimited subscription or would rather have someone at Spotify assist you in doing this, don't hesitate to get in touch with customer services instead using the online contact form.
    1.  Check your account type.
    The method of how to disconnect from Facebook depends on how you originally created your account. 
    If you have a dedicated Spotify username and password, then go to step 2a.
    If you created your Spotify account using Facebook, and therefore log in using your Facebook email address and password, go to step 2b. 
    If you log in using Facebook normally, but are unsure if you created your Spotify account using Facebook or a Spotify username, log into your online profile using your Facebook details. If you see a username consisting of ten digits you're likely using a Spotify account created through Facebook. and need to go to step 2b. 
    2a. Disconnect from Facebook.
    Since you have a dedicated Spotify account, disconnecting from Facebook is easy.
    In the desktop client:
    Windows - Go to Edit > Preferences > Social Network > Disconnect from Facebook.
    Mac - Go to Spotify > Preferences > Social Network > Disconnect from Facebook. 
    Once you have done that, your Spotify account is no longer linked to Facebook, you need not continue any of the steps below. 
    You may find due to data caching in the client, that you still see Facebook information (such as the People list) hanging around, a quick clean reinstallation of the application should fix that for you. 
    If you can't see the option to connect/disconnect, then you are logged into a Spotify account created with Facebook not a dedicated Spotify one. 
    2b. Create a new account.
    Disconnecting from Facebook is not possible if you have a Spotify account created with Facebook.
    You can obviously select not to share your activity on Facebook from the Preferences menu, however, if you wish to completely disconnect then read on. 
    If you wish to stop using your Spotify account created through Facebook, then you will need to create a new dedicated Spotify account from the signup page which should now be available in all launch countries. Once you have done that, make sure to note down your new Spotify username and password and keep them in a safe place. Continue to step 3. 
    The easiest and quickest way to move your playlists from one account to another is explained in steps 3 and 4. Since there is no way to directly transfer playlists from one account to another, this process subscribes your new dedicated Spotify account to the playlists on your old Spotify account created via Facebook.
    3. Backup Playlists
    The easiest and quickest way to backup your playlists is to sign into your Spotify account created with Facebook and simply drag and drop them from the left sidebar of the desktop client onto your desktop, or into a folder. This will store links to those playlists locally. 
    4. Restore Playlists
    Log into your new dedicated Spotify account, created in step 2b.
    Now, drag and drop your playlists from your desktop (or folder) into the Spotify client, and they should reappear. These playlists won't be editable, since they are still "owned" by your old account. However, once you have got them into the client, if you want to make them editable you just need to make a new Playlist (File > New Playlist) and then copy and paste all the tracks from the uneditable one into the new one. You can also drag a subscribed playlist to the "New Playlist" button which will instantly copy the playlist and make it owned by you (Thanks Stupify for this awesome tip!)
    The fastest way to highlight all the tracks is to click on the playlist, press Ctrl/Cmd+a and then press Ctrl/Cmd+c to copy them. Then navigate to your new playlist and press Ctrl/Cmd+v to paste. Continue to step 5 (if applicable).
    5. If you have an unlimited/premium subscription…
    There is no easy way for you to transfer an unlimited/premium subscription from one account to another.
    The simplest and fastest way to get back up and running is to simply unsubscribe from the subscription page on your old Spotify account created using Facebook and then resubscribe on your new account. I would recommend you cancel and then use up all your remaining premium days on your old account before you subscribe again, you have already paid for them!
    6 (Optional). Request the removal of your Spotify account created using Facebook.
    If you wish to request your Spotify account created through Facebook be disabled then please read and follow the instructions in this topic.
    I would strongly suggest that if you do not do this step, that you at least log into your online profile on your old Spotify account created with Facebook and set all email notifications to "Never" to stop Spotify sending you any emails. 
    Once you have completed the required steps above, you should have a complete Spotify account which is not in any way connected to Facebook. 
    Happy Listening!
    Peter
    If you have any issues with your account, or in following these steps, then the Spotify team will be happy to help, just drop them an email using the online contact form.
    I do not work for or in anyway professionally connected to Spotify.

I'm also on a premium account. How the hell do i do it? I just want to get rid of facebook. Let me goooooooo.....
    Hey :) 
    Did you read step 1? 
    If you created your account using Facebook, you won't have the disconnect from Facebook option, since your account is tied to Facebook. In that case you will need a new account as described in the tutorial.

    Do you mean that you removed the phone from the 'manage devices' section of your iTunes account ? If you do then that won't stop you being able to purchase items on your phone - you only need to be logged into an account to be able to purchase with it.
    If you do mean the 'manage devices' section then you can associate, or re-associate, a device (or computer) by using iTunes Match, or automatic downloads, or redownloading past purchases on it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
