Isync and Palm conduit conflicts

I use iCal for my calendar and Address Book to maintain my contact info, but I prefer the Palm to-do list over iCal's - is it possible for me to sync this combination of applications? I was once able to do this (by moving conduits disabled by iSync back into my Palm HotSync conduits folder), but this is no longer working. The (apparently) relevant portion of my HotSync Log shows:
Loading “Apple”
Conduit “iSync Conduit” version 3.0.0

I'm using :
- iSync v2.4 & Mac OS X v10.4.9 on a PowerBook G4,
- Palm Desktop v4.2.2, and
- a Palm Treo 680
Any advice?
thank you!

It is actually possible to do what you want, but an an additional step is required since the release of Mac OS X 10.4.
A quick review…
What you want to do essentially violates the unwritten 'rule of conduits' which states that you cannot simultaneously synchronize a given data type with more than one conduit. iSync will synchronize contact, event and task data only with the Address Book and iCal. In general, if you wish to synchronize such data with the Palm Desktop, you must cease using iSync and revert to the Palm Desktop.
It is possible, however, to configure your machine to synchronize contacts with the Palm Desktop and events and tasks with iCal, or—as you wish—contacts with the Address Book and events and tasks with iCal.
In order to do so, launch iSync and select your Palm device in the main window. In the drop-down pane which appears, be sure that you disable event and task synchronization by deselecting the Calendars category, but leave the Contacts category enabled. Then quit iSync, and remove the com.apple.isync.plist file from this folder:
Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Preferences
Do not remove the co-located com.apple.isync.registry.plist file.
[Don't launch iSync again until you have completed the steps outlined below.]
Make sure that these conduits are in the active Conduits folder:
• Calendar Conduit
• Datebook Conduit
• Tasks Conduit
• ToDo Conduit
NOTE: While this has nothing to do with your issue—if you have not already done so—move the Memo Conduit and Memos Conduit back into the active folder [from which the iSync Palm Conduit installation process previously removed them] to restore memo synchronization to the Palm Desktop.
In addition, the iSync Palm Conduit should be in the active Conduits folder.
These conduits should not be, and instead should be stored in the Disabled Conduits folder:
• Address Conduit
• Contacts Conduit
Once these conduits are arranged in the active and disabled folders, you may launch iSync and it will synchronize your contacts with the Address Book, and your events and tasks will be synchronized with the Palm Desktop instead of with iCal.

  • ISync and Palm : difficult

    Hello,
    There are 2 pbs :
    * there is no way to have the palm icon being displayed in the isync front windows
    * when the sync is started directly from the palm, it does not sync properly the phone number : as there is no more any way to reinitialise the palm with the data from the computer (as isync can't access the palm), it syncs in the 2 directions. Then the data from the palm generate a resynchro for 250 phone numbers (the home phone are ste as work phone in address book) out of my 560 contacts.
    I have accepted once these modifications, then changed all the numbers in adress book to set them back as home phone... But on the next sync, it asks me again to resynchro the 250 numbers, as if it was syncing only from the palm, and not taking in account the adress bokk modifications...
    I have already tried the followings :
    * destroying the palm sotware and reinstal it
    * destroing the "app support" for isync and palm
    * destroyng the pref for isync and palm
    I have tried to reinstrall isync, but the 2.3 version seems not available on apple site... (only 1.5, an 2.1 on another site)
    Context :
    I have re-used my palm after may be 1 year without any use.
    I was then in a previous version of OSX on the last sync 1 year ago (I have read things about first isync and 10.4.6... Too late ! )
    I have a Palm zire 31

    There is no easy way to do this. You must manually reconfigure the conduits each time you want to move from one environment to the other. [But, see the note of caution at the end of this message.] Also, reinstalling the Palm Desktop after iSync is installed and configured can create problems, so if you want to move from one evironment to other, do this:
    Locate the active Conduits and Disabled Conduits folders, here:
    Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync
    To activate the Palm Desktop, move this conduit to the Disabled Conduits folder:
    • Apple [that's the Finder name of the iSync Palm Conduit]
    To activate the Palm Desktop, move ONLY these conduits to the active Conduits folder:
    • Calendar Conduit
    • Contacts Conduit
    • Memos Conduit*
    • Tasks Conduit
    The analagous but outmoded Address, Datebook, Memo and ToDo conduits should remain in the Disabled Conduits if they are present at all in your configuration.
    *If activated, the Memos conduit will synchronize memos with the Palm Desktop. iSync has no memo function, and the older Memo [singular] conduit should always remain inactive if present.
    To reverse the process, do just the opposite to restore iSync and deactivate the Palm Desktop. As explained above, however, leave the Memos conduit active if you wish to synchronize memos at all.
    A word of warning: the SyncServices framework is complex, and subject to sudden and unexplained data errors due to corruption of actual data or the handlers which push and pull it to and from the truth database. Every time you act in a manner which increases this complexity—such as moving back and forth from one synchronization environment to another—you greatly increase the likelihood that you will corrupt your data, and you place your synchronization scheme at greater risk of failure.

  • Isync and palm m125 don't work after upgrade to isync 2.2

    My m125 pda and isync were ok until I upgraded. Now isync doesn't recognize my m125. I tried Missing Sync and it doesn't support m125. How can I solve this problem?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Although the Missing Sync for Palm OS supports only Palm OS 4 and 5 devices—the Palm m130 being the earliest supported organizer—iSync 2.2 should support your m125.
    What Mac OS X release did you upgrade from? Does your handheld appear in the main window of iSync? If not, have you attempted to add it using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option under the Devices menu? What does your HotSync log say about any attempt to synchronize? What version of the Palm Desktop is currently installed?

  • ISync Palm Conduit with third party conduits?

    Although we use the iSync Palm conduit to sync our Address Book data to our Palm devices, we use Meeting Maker as our calendar application. This has been fine under Panther...we would turn off calendar syncing in the iSync conduit and the respective data would synchronize properly. But under Tiger, the Palm conduit installed by iSync checks to see if there are third party conduits installed and if so, insists on disabling them. We can manually move the Meeting Maker conduits back into the Conduits directory, but anytime iSync is opened, it gives an alert that conflicting conduits need to be moved. This is most frustrating, especially considering that the whole process ran perfectly under Panther. Is there any fix or hack that can prevent the problem under iSync in Tiger?

    Actually, there is a simple fix. Although this step was not necessary under Mac OS X releases prior to Mac OS X 10.4, you now must uncheck the Calendar option in iSync, quit the program, then toss this iSync preference file:
    com.apple.isync.plist
    You will find that file here:
    Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Preferences
    When you next launch iSync, that preference file will be recreated, but you will now be able to synchronize your contact data with the Address Book using iSync and your calendaring data with Meeting Maker.

  • ISync palm conduit in 10.5 - won't work under user imported from 10.4?

    My Palm m500 was syncing fine with my PowerBook G4 running Mac OS 10.4
    I recently got a spiffy new MacBook Pro (Penryn) with 10.5, and although the Palm does communicate and sync via Palm Desktop, it no longer syncs via iSync with iCal & Address Book. I keep getting the following in the hotsync log:
    < snip >
    OK Install
    iSync Conduit starting 3/13/08 10:38:34 PM
    iSync Conduit: received NULL message, disconnecting...
    OK iSync Conduit
    </ snip >
    ==========
    Other info:
    I imported the user info for my main user from the old 10.4 installation using Migration Assistant.
    • Deleted old Palm HotSync & Desktop files from the username:Library:Application Support, as palm preference files from username:Library:Preferences
    • Copied the old user folder to an alternate location, and removed the Palm folder from username:Documents:
    • Re-installed Palm Desktop 4.2.1 under main user (authorized as an "administrator" temporarily)
    • Sync worked (no data on Palm Desktop, but everything backed up ok), HotSync even recovers and creates a new user based on the data on the device, and even backs up all the programs.
    • Enabled Palm Os Syncing from within iSync (works fine, so long as the account being used has read/write permissions to HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync:Conduits)
    • "Enable iSync for this palm device" from the iSync conduit within HotSync Manager.
    During a sync, iSync kicks in and "connects", but can't get past AddressBook syncing, and never actually sends info to the Palm device. Presumably, this is where the "NULL message" is received and syncing stops. When I specify "Erase data on device then sync" in iSync (for first syncronization), it does indeed erase address book data on the device, but never sends anything to replace it, but also does not touch the calendar data on the palm device.
    Furthermore, I tried the same procedure when logged in as another administrator account (what is normally the main administrator account on this computer), and synced first without iSync, then enabling "iSync for this Palm device". Under this other account, the syncing works. I can add events to iCal, and contacts to address book, and they are transferred sucessfully and synced with the palm device. But it still does not work when logged in as the main user (even when administrator privileges are enabled, which I normally don't want), which actually has all my iCal and Address book data (which syncs successfully through .Mac with my computer at work).
    There should be plenty of free space on the device for all my calendar & contact data (3MB).
    Given that syncing DOES work for one administrator user (which was never before set-up for this), but not for the user that was imported from 10.4 and was syncing successfully before, I have a suspicion that there's either some leftover files that I missed, or a permissions conflict within the user's home folder that I am missing. Has anyone else been able to resolve this issue, or have any suggestions based on this information?
    Much appreciated.

    Experimentation reveals that:
    • replacing the old addressbook data with blank allows syncing to work without problems.
    • having multiple groups causes the same error: BUT only on the first sync (set to “Erase data on device then sync”, but also if set to “merge”). Adding groups after a successful initial sync did not interfere with further syncs.
    • deleting groups from existing AddressBook data does allow a successful first sync.
    • but adding them back in again breaks the sync.
    Having no groups would seem to allow a successful sync.
    see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6805570&#6805570
    I don’t want to have to limit myself to this. I do use groups rather a lot and it would be frustrating to have to give up using them just so I can sync my Palm in Leopard.
    The following does NOT solve the problem:
    1. Move old Address Book data to a backup location (after exporting AddressBook library)
    2. do a first sync
    3. re-import full Address Book data from archive
    4. continue with regular syncs.
    • only sync one Group still leads to the same error.
    • iSync 2 doesn’t run under Leopard (error message along the lines of “You can’t use this software with this version of Mac OS”).
    • I also tried to use the previous iSync palm conduit (v3.0.2 instead of v3.1.0), but got the same errors.
    For now, I removed all the groups and synced my contacts to my Palm, but I then turned off syncing for contacts within iSync, so I could recover all my Address Book Groups. Fortunately, I need to update Calendar information more often than contact info, and I won’t be able to change contact info on the Palm device. When I do want to do a periodic update to my Palm device, I will have to:
    1. Backup my address book
    2. Delete all groups (but not the contacts within them, which stay in the library itself)
    3. Turn contact syncing on in iSync
    4. Sync the Palm device
    5. Turn contact syncing OFF in iSync
    6. Recover my Address Book Library & groups from backup
    Not as simple as I would expect from Apple software ... I hope this issue gets fixed in iSync 3 (Leopard).

  • ISync Failure working with Missing Sync and Palm Lifedrive

    Since the begining of March I have failed to peform a sync between my Palm and G4 Powerbook via Missing Sync v5.2.1
    What happens is that a Sync is launched from my Palm cradle which is picked up by my G4, the dialogie suggests that things are being synchronised, but at the end on viewing my Sync History, I get errors reporting that databases on my palm can't be opened. Missing Syncs own conduits for iCal and AB report that they have been 'unregistered'.
    Last night I attempted a sync with just 1 conduit active at a time and all failed.
    I bought BackUpBuddy, but this two has failed to sync.
    Markspace have suggested that I 'reset sync histories' which I have attempted to do. For this I need to open iSync first, however iSync quits during launch.
    Anybody got any ideas on how to resolve this? TIA

    Now that the response is reposted above, this thread makes more sense…
    The (0x400a) errors generally, coupled with an inability to open files on your handheld, suggests that you have insufficient memory on board to perform these tasks. There are several other issues involved, however, so you should address each one by simplifying your configuration to avoid the most obvious ones.
    For the time being, turn off the following conduits which do not report errors:
    • Install
    • Life Balance
    • Mark/Space Conduit for iTunes
    • Mark/Space Conduit for iTunes
    • ChronosNotes
    • BackupBuddy
    Do that simply by un-checking them in the main window of the Missing Sync for Palm OS. You might want to attempt once again to synchronize, just to determine if anything has changed as a result of turning off these working conduits.
    Also, turn off the following failing conduits:
    • Mark/Space Folder Sync
    • Voice Memo
    • Documents To Go*
    • Media
    • Trip
    Some may be incompatible with your your LifeDrive, or not properly configured for use with it. See the article below, for example, with regard to the Mark/Space Folder Sync conduit with it:
    http://www.markspace.com/support/kb.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=2553
    To avoid some obvious problems with your LifeDrive and the conduits presently installed, you should install the LifeDrive Update 2.0 is you have not already done so. *Among other things, it contains a Documents to Go update:
    http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/lifedrive/lifedrive_update.html
    You must follow the instructions provided by Palm carefully, as the procedure removes all of the data from your device. Insure that your data is backed up elsewhere before performing this update.
    Before attempting to update your LifeDrive, follow these instructions to determine if you need to:
    Find out if your LifeDrive device includes the latest LifeDrive Update software
    • on your LifeDrive, press <Home> twice, until the Applications Launcher—not Favorites—appears
    • tap <Menu>
    • from the <App> menu, select <Info>
    • at the bottom of the screen, select <Version>
    Look for the application named WiFiLib [HINT: scroll down below the <Wi-Fi> items to <WiFi> with no hyphen.]
    If the version number is…
    • 1.0.6, 1.0.5 or below: you don't have the latest LifeDrive update. Install it
    • 1.0.7: you already have the latest LifeDrive Update. Do not install it again.
    Had you not needed to install this update and perform the resulting reset, I would have recommended that you perform a soft reset to see if that procedure resolves any of your issues.

  • Can't open iSync Palm Conduit

    I'm trying to synchronize my new Palm Z22 with iCal and Address book. Michael Lafferty solved my original problem of not getting iSync. I have downloaded iSync Palm Conduit and it appears as a "pkg" and was said to be installed successfully. However, it doesn't show up as a usable program and iSync doesn't detect my Palm device.
    iMacG5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    It isn't a program - it's a conduit. The process of running the installer placed a copy of the iSync Palm Conduit—which appears simply as Apple in the Finder, or iSync Conduit in the HotSync conduit list—in your active Conduits folder.
    And, your device will not show up in iSync until you add it using the HotSync Manager or the HotSync menu option of the Palm Desktop to configure it, by selecting the conduit and checking the box labeled Enable iSync for this Palm device.

  • Installing iSync Palm Conduit

    Using an iMac G5 with 10.4.3
    I tried to install iSyncPalm.dmg and got the message: iSync Palm Conduites cannot be installed on this computer.
    iSync Palm Conduit requries iSync to be insatlled first. Problem is that iSync is installed and is visible in the menu at the top right of the computer. How do fix this problem?

    The iSync Palm Conduit package you downloaded - version 1.2 - cannot be installed on a machine running iSync 2 or later. That conduit is intended for use only with iSync 1.5 or earlier.
    iSync 2 and later for use with Mac OS X 10.4 and later has the conduit 'built-in' and it is installed when you setup up iSync to synchronize a Palm device. To do so…
    • launch iSync
    • select the option to Enable Palm OS Syncing… from the Devices menu
    • follow the instructions which appear in the dialog box
    You do not add a Palm device to iSync using the Add Device… option as with other devices. It is added - and the iSync Palm Conduit installed and activated - as a result of the steps I outlined above.
    Make sure that before you do this, you have installed or updated the Palm Desktop to version 4.2.1 release D if your Palm device is supported by this package. More information is available here:

  • ISync palm conduit does not allow Mac overwrite palm, or does it?

    A HUGE problem I am seeing with iSync is there is no way to force it to set one device to overwrite a flawed one.
    I had my Palm loose its data. No problem thiis had happened once before and i set my palm desktop hotsync to have Mac overwrite Palm.
    This time the iSync conduit does not allow that, it doesn't allow anything! so I tried it and wow, it synced the palm as NEWER data and wiped out my address book and calander, NOW that was useful.
    I restored from a .Mac backup and tossed the palm aside.
    Now my wife has lost her palm data and we need to figure out how to put her Palm desktop data onto her palm, but I'm afraid to use isync but it won't let her use the old PalmDesktop asddress and calander conduits
    What should we do now?
    How can I get rid of iSync and use the Palm Hotsync
    OR
    How can I set a direction in iSync, none of the menus show anything like this.
    At this point I would have to say iSync and other devices that have had Dataloss *****
    any help is appreciated

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    There is no explicit directional control for data flow in iSync under most circumstances, and this is clearly a shortcoming of the program itself and of the iSync Palm Conduit. This limitation can be overcome, but you need a thorough understanding of what your options are, and what your responsibilities should be to avoid data loss.
    In general terms, iSync works to 'equalize' data sets on each device in your pool, by taking additions, changes and deletions made on any device and transferring these additions, changes and deletions to all other devices during the synchronization process. Understanding that, you can see that if you reset your Palm device in a manner which removes your calendaring, tasks and contact data, then a synchronization will remove the matching records from both iCal and the Address Book.
    To avoid data loss following such a substantial change on any device in your pool, you should back up your iCal and Address Book data using the backup feature built into each application prior to initiating the next synchronization. That way, should the data be removed during an event, it can be immediately restored to the state it was just prior to that synchronization event.
    You can overwrite your Palm device to avoid this sort of problem only when iSync 'believes' that you are performing a first-time synchronization. That situation can be triggered by either…
    • first removing your device from iSync, then choosing to Enable Palm OS Syncing… again, or by
    • opening the iSync Preferences… dialog and pressing the Reset Sync History… button under the Advanced section
    When you next try to synchronize, you will be asked if you want to Merge or Replace data: choose Replace to overwrite the data on your handheld device.
    Admittedly, this application is very poorly documented, and - at times - clearly unreliable. It's easy to understand why you would not have been aware of the catastrophic loss of data that loomed before you as you prepared to synchronize your data, believing that it would be restored to your Palm device.
    You can certainly stop using iSync and return to the Palm Desktop, but that precludes synchronizing your data with iCal and the Address Book, so that option is not as nearly attractive as it might seem at first glance.

  • CANNOT GET ISYNC TO INSTALL PALM CONDUIT? 10.4, G4, TREO PALM 4.2

    With all of these combinations:
    I get the PALM DESKTOP to sync with the TREO GREAT!
    But I cannot find or get the isync 2.0 to create a PALM CONDUIT so I can use iCAL. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DOWNLOAD OR INSTALL THIS CONDUIT? WHEN YOU CHOOSE "ENABLE PALM OS" IN iSYNC - NOTHING.
    Post relates to: Treo 650 (Cingular)

    Palm Desktop 4.2.1 Rev B running on latest OS X 10.4 worked super with my old Visor Deluxe. But then I tried to get iSync to enable the Palm device and... no luck. iSync tells me something about having to get HotSync Manager working, or launching HotSync Manager and trying to enable again--all to no avail.
    HotSync Manager is working fine; the Palm Desktop is working fine syncing data of my old Visor. But I need to get that data on iCal and Address Book. The solution suggested earlier--creating new user acct. with non-admin privileges, etc.--seems complicated, but maybe I'll give it a try. My only Mac account is an admin account--don't see why I should have to set up a separate non-admin one.
    Palm Desktop's fine, HotSync Manager's fine, iSync doesn't agree. Maybe it has something to do with the age of my Visor? Don't see why that should make a difference if PD/Hotsync Manager are working.
    Anyone with another solution out there?

  • Need help with error message after failed iSync: Leopard and Palm OS

    I recently upgraded to a new computer which came with Leopard installed. In my old computer, Tiger OS, all was well when syncing to my Palm device.
    I tried going from handheld to desktop with slow synch turned on in iSync and now I get this message re: failure--
    "iSync Conduit starting 9/6/08 8:21:12 AM
    Timeout waiting for Sync Engine, exiting 9/6/08 8:27:31 AM

    “iSync Conduit” failed (error = #-2)"
    Any ideas--please help.

    I wish you success.
    I have an older Palm, the Zire. Once I got the most recent Palm software and chose, at least for now, to use iSync, I haven't noticed any problems.
    Since I haven't used the "T" family of Palms, I can only guess that the process is much the same as with the Zire. You can disable the MAc syncing, move your currently disabled conduits back into Palm syncing, reinstall what Palm lists as your most recent software (and make sure all of your calendar and contacts info is just as you want it), do a sync through the HotSync Manager (ignoring iCal). I'd do a restart just to clear the system. It appears there is a warning note on resetting the iSync history, so you might not want to do that but just manually clean up any inconsistencies in iCal before you try once again.
    [I actually wanted to just accept my Palm calendar so trashed my iCal calendar after some questionable syncs, but you can do an export to save the iCal calendar before you wipe it out.]
    But my impression is that to get pass the messages you initially wrote up, you'll have to ask the Palm discussions folks for help. They are very helpful.

  • Download iSync 1.2 Palm Conduit but can not use synchronize my Palm

    I bought iPod Touch (32G) and I want to use only this device from now on, but I have problems to find a suitable way to synchronize all my contacts and calendar information from my old Palm V into the iMac address book and iCal and finally into my new iPod Touch.
    What I tried to do until now was, that I download 'iSync 1.2 Palm Conduit' and I want to install but the system told me „iSync Palm Conduit“ can not be installed on this computer, for this version of "iSync Palm Conduit" you have firstly to install iSync 1.2!
    On my iMac programs I found "iSync" program version 3.0.2. so I tried to find the version 1.2. in the Apple-world but I had no success to find this version.
    Please can somebody help me out to solve this problem and to find a suitable way to synchronize my Palm information to my iMac and iPod Touch? Also answers in German language are welcome! Thank you in advance and have a great day!

    I want to replace my palm V and I want to use iCal and the Mac address book and my new iPod touch in future, so that means I intend to invoke a one-time unidirectional transfer of contact information to the Address Book and iCal to support future synchronization of an iPod Touch via iTunes?
    No further sync operation with Palm devices required. I do not intend to continue to synchronize my Palm V in the future with the Palm Desktop or the Address Book and iCal using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit! As far as I understand in case I want to use iSync I needs to have in general a Bluetooth device to perform the sync operation, so and my old Palm V do not have this function!
    As newcomer in the Mac-World I have firstly no idea about MobileMe, so I do not intend at the moment to synchronize contact, event and task data with the MobileMe environment!
    And finally I deleted the Palm Desktop already because I made some thing wrong.
    You can help me now and let me know how I get my contacts to the MAc address book and my calender information to iCal?
    Thank you in advance and kind regards.

    Hi - trying to export my Palm Desktop Calendar/Contacts,etc.....
    If I'm in the wrong forum - please tell me where to go:)
    When I export as vcal or ical, right at the end of the export - Palm Desktop unexpectedly ends... I still get a file to import - although when attempting to import to ISYNC nothing is there. I am researching Palm's website but if anyone has any input or suggestions on how I can get my Palm Desktop data to Isync - please let me know - thx......

    Ok now I'm trying to "bluetooth" my Palm Treo 650 to ISync and Isync doesn't recognize it? Any ideas? Thanks....

  • Isync nokia 6620 and palm tungsten T2 with OS 10.4

    I use isync to synchronize iCal and Contacts to these 3 devices via bluetooth, but when I create a new appointment on my Palm, it is synced with my computer but not with my phone. The appointment is only put on my phone's calendar the next time I run iSync. This seems to be the only problem--creating appointments in any of the other directions flawlessly syncs across all three devices. Also, creating or editing a contact on any of the three devices also syncs fine. Does anyone know if this problem can be resolved?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    What you perceive as a problem is actually a feature - a consequence of shifting synchronization of all servers, applications and devices to the SyncService framework. Now, iTunes is configured to interact with the truth database maintained by SyncServices to synchronize iPods, .Mac Sync handles a similar interaction to synchronize with .Mac, and iSync is relegated to handling mobile handsets and Palm handheld organizers and smartphones.
    In the same manner, applications like iCal and the Address Book interact with the SyncServices framework, as do many third-party applications like MySync, the Missing Sync for Palm OS, DayLite, and others.
    If your mobile handset is not connected via Bluetooth or USB, or iSync is not running when you initiate a synchronization event using the HotSync icon, or the button on your cable or cradle, then your device will not be synchronized until it is 'attached' and iSync is launched. This update occurs because the SyncServices engine is aware that the device exists and was not available during the prior event. As soon as becomes available, the update takes place.
    If you want your mobile handset to be simultaneously synchronized when you synchronize your Palm device, then you must do two things:
    • 'attach' it via Bluetooth or USB, and
    • launch iSync prior to initiating the HotSync
