Isync hotsync conduits

isync says to install isync hotsync conduit to Palm Hotsync conduit folder. How do you do that. I have the 4.2.1 palm version installed

You simply add your Palm device to iSync using the Add Palm OS Device… option. The basis Add Device… option is reserved for supported mobile handsets and Symbian OS smartphones.
As you go through that process, iSync installs the iSync Palm Conduit and deactivates conflicting Palm supplied conduits, along with the Memo Conduit and Memos Conduit. Those memo-related conduits can be reactivated manually, as they do not actually cause any conflict with the iSync Palm Conduit, which has not memo handling capability whatsoever.
In some case, under Mac OS X 10.5 and later, the installed iSync Palm Conduit is effectively inert, and must be replaced. If you do not see it using the conduit configuration dialog in the HotSync Manager or in the Palm Desktop, then write to the address in my Public Profile for a replacement conduit package.

  • Can't find palm tungsten isync hotsync conduit in leopard

    Attempting to sync my Palm Tungsten E2 with iCal & Address Book by USB but iSync can't set up when I attempt to Enable Palm Syncing. iSync Hotsync Conduit does not install and is not found on searching with Spotlight. Palm Hotsync works fine. Where is my software not configured properly?

    Problem solved. I was logged into a User Account that did not have permissions to move the conduits to a new folder 'iSync Disabled Conduits'. Logging into the System Manager Account enabled this process to proceed and reverting back to the sub-account the configuring for Enable Palm Syncing process now completed.

  • ISync Palm Conduit cannot be configured with the HotSync Manager UPDATE

    First, I apologize for the SPAM-like posting of the material below in the existing threads regarding this issue. It is—unfortunately—the most effective way to garner the attention of earlier posters and gather this information.
    Apple continues to investigate the issue, and needs this information to isolate and identify the problem. It is characterized by the apparently successful installation of the bundled iSync Palm Conduit using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option in iSync 2.4 with either Mac OS X 10.4.9 or 10.4.10, but with the result that this conduit—normally visible in and configurable with the HotSync Manager—cannot be seen and therefore not configured.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Bizarre iSync Hotsync PDA Problem

    I have a palm Tungsten E2, second one. I had originally set up hotsync and iSync to perfectly synchronize using iCal, etc. instead of the palm desktop functions. My original E2 was stolen. After a month, I got a replacement, plugged it in and tried to sync. No go.
    I have reinstalled the latest palm desktop today from the palm website. I deleted the device from the device list in iSync and started over with adding a new device. It finds my device and I enable Palm OS syncing. I go thru all the steps including the step where the conduits will be placed in the palm hotsync disabled conduits folder.
    No matter how many times I restart and redo this process, I get the following problems: 1- my device comes up the the yellow warning sign in iSync indicating that I need to Enable Palm OS syncing again; 2- I get a message in the Hotsync Log "User * configured for Palm Address Book conduit and corresponding iSync data class, skipping iSync to avoid conflicting modifications 3/21/06 7:23:43 PM
    iSync Conduit: Sending Error Response 6: User * configured for Palm Address Book conduit and corresponding iSync data class 3/21/06 7:23:46 PM
    iSync Conduit: received NULL message, disconnecting... 3/21/06 7:23:46 PM"
    I cannot figure out what to try next. Any suggestions?

    This could be a permissions issue - I had to change the permssions on the 3 folders even though I run Tiger
    try this-
    [From the palm site]
    Palm Desktop Installer Access Denied error after iSync 1.2 Palm Conduit has been installed.
    You may receive the following error during installation or re-installation of Palm Desktop if you have installed the iSync 1.2 Palm Conduit for Mac OS X:
    "Sorry, the operation could not be completed due to a System error. (Access Denied.)"
    Explanation: the iSync 1.2 Palm Conduit installer changes the ownership and permission settings of some Palm folders to Read Only. The Palm Desktop Installer requires these folders have Read & Write access.
    Workaround: A user with Administrator privileges (usually the primary user under Mac OS X) must change these privileges prior to running the Palm Desktop installer.
    Perform one of the following procedures to change the affected folder privileges:
    Mac OS X 10.2.x and 10.3.x
    1. Download and install the latest version of Palm Desktop for Macintosh from the Palm support website, here: http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/mac_desktop.html
    Alternatively, if you need to reinstall your software from the original CD you must perform the following procedure.
    In the Finder, select the "/Library/Application Support/Palm HotSync" folder. Note that this is the Library folder at the ‘root' level of your hard drive, not the Library folder in your user Home folder.
    Select "Get Info" from the File menu.
    Select the lock icon next to the "Owner" name to unlock it.
    Select the Owner menu and select your username (or a user with Admin privileges). You may be asked to enter your password at this time.
    Change the Owner's Access to "Read & Write"
    Select the "Group" name and change it to "Admin"
    Change the Group's Access to "Read & Write"
    Repeat steps 2 through 8 for the following two folders:
    "/Library/Application Support/Palm HotSync/Conduits"
    "/Library/Application Support/Palm HotSync/Disabled Conduits"

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • Tungsten T5 iSync, HotSync, Missing Sync for iCal, Mail and Address Book

    I have just been given an old Palm Tungsten T5 and have been looking at the various options available to make it do what I need with regard to syncing it with my G5 PPC iMac with 10.4.11.
    I use the T5 only when I am away (from the iMac) and travelling and would like a set- up that allows me to sync, in this order of priority:
    iCal, including annual events such as birthdays, and differently colour-coded calendars and, if possible, to dos although these are less important
    Mail
    Address Book, in which I really only have e-mail addresses
    According to some old threads on the subject, Missing Sync appears to be the program of choice for syncing iCal and Address Book, but not Mail. Instead there appears to be something called Mail.App Conduit 2.0.1 requiring at least Palm Desktop 4, and presumably HotSync.
    Is there a single program that will sync all three of these Mac applications effectively? If not, am I going to have to (buy and install and then) uninstall Missing Sync and Palm Desktop (or HotsSync) alternately?
    Is iSync a real option?
    Or is there some clever way of using one or more programs to start with and then switch over to just one?
    I would be grateful for any advice as to how to deal with this. Thank you.
    Nick

    I don't know if you can do this with the Centro. I should have mention that I was talking about webOS (Pre and Pixi). To sync with webOS you need Mac OS 10.5 or later for iCal, and 10.6 for Address Book.

  • OSX10.4.9/iSync 2.4 with Palm E2 running HotSync 3.2.1

    Hi All,
    iSync happily syncs between my Powerbook and phone;
    HotSync happily syncs between Powerbook and my Palm...
    but I can't get iSync to install the iSync Conduit in HotSync Manager enabling the Palm to download to iCal etc.
    I've run 'Enable Palm OS Syncing' from within iSync a number of times. It seems to function OK (moves appropriate conduits within Library>Palm HotSync to a new folder called iSync Disabled Conduits for instance), but when I launch HotSync>Conduit Settings, the expected iSync HotSync Conduit isn't there! Back in Library>Palm HotSync>Conduits, there is newly installed file called Apple though it doesn't appear anywhere in HotSync Manager.
    Also, the Palm E2 doesn't appear in iSync when I 'add device>scan' - I believe this is normal and it won't appear until the iSync HotSync Conduit finally appears in HotSync - is this correct?
    I have previously had no problems with older iterations of iSync although I haven't used iSync1.? for a year or more - could something be left over that should have been deleted? I have done clean installs of OSX10.4.9 and the Palm OS 4.2.1 fairly recently.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    There is some confusion regarding this, largely the fault of Apple. There are three names for the iSync Palm Conduit:
    • iSync Palm Conduit [the name that most documentation refers to]
    • iSync Conduit [the name which it appears as in the HotSync Manager]
    • Apple [name of the conduit as shown in the Finder]
    If the file Apple resides in your active Conduits folder but does not appear when you attempt to configure conduits using the HotSync Manager or the HotSync menu item in the Palm Desktop, it's likely a damaged file. It should appear in those dialogs as the iSync Conduit.
    If you cannot get it to appear, send a message to the electronic mail address listen in my Public Profile and I will reply with a copy you can use in its place.
    The iSync Add Device… option is not applicable to Palm devices. You can only get it to appear by using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option that you've been attempting to do.

  • Installing iSync conduit for HotSync 3.2.1

    Hello,
    I got a Powerbook G4 with OS X.4.8
    I've just bought a Palm T|X with Palm OS 5.4.9.
    I've dowloaded the last package Palm Desktop 4.2.1 for Mac with HotSync Manager 3.2.1
    Hotsync functions well with Palm Desktop.
    In iSync, I go to "Device / Active Palm OS synchronisation" but I get an error message like : "Palm Desktop isn't well installed or was never opened. Try opening it and come back in iSync". I did it but it doesn't functions.
    When I look in HD / Library / Applicatioin support / Palm HotSync / Conduit, I don't see any Apple or iSync conduit.
    What can I do ?
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    This is a permissions problem with your Palm folders, most frequently occurring as a result of the option to archive and install Mac OS X.
    Here are two methods you can use to correct the issue:
    Take a look at the permissions of the folders listed below. Your permissions for the folders listed below should appear as described below the pathname to that folder:
    For the Macintosh HD:Applications:Palm folder:
    Ownership & Permissions
    You can: Read & Write
    Details
    Owner: <shortusername>
    Access: Read & Write
    Group: admin
    Access: Read & Write
    Others: Read only
    For the Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm Desktop folder:
    Ownership & Permissions
    You can: Read & Write
    Details
    Owner: <shortusername>
    Access: Read & Write
    Group: admin
    Access: Read & Write
    Others: Read only
    For the Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync folder:
    Ownership & Permissions
    You can: Read & Write
    Details
    Owner: <shortusername>
    Access: Read & Write
    Group: admin
    Access: Read & Write
    Others: Read only
    You can either reset those values manually, [then restart and recheck them to be sure that they are set correctly] or use the Terminal application by typing these strings listed below this example—substituting your short user name—as shown below:
    sample: "sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Applications/Palm"
    actual: "sudo chown -R michaellafferty:admin /Applications/Palm"
    …where michaellafferty is the <shortusername> in my case. Be sure to pay attention to the spaces in each string, and the direction of the / or \ [forward and back slash] characters.
    Here are the appropriate Terminal entries. Each is is shown bulleted below, but actually begins with the term sudo:
    • sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Applications/Palm
    [NOTE: at this point, you'll be asked to enter your login password]
    • sudo chmod -R 775 /Applications/Palm
    • sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ HotSync/
    • sudo chmod -R 775 /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ HotSync/
    • sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ Desktop/
    • sudo chmod -R 775 /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ Desktop/
    Again, pay particular attention to the spaces and to the \ characters, as both are critical to the syntax of these commands. Remember to place your actual shortusername in the string where the <shortusername> placeholder is shown, as in the sample above. [Do not include the < and > characters around your actual shortusername.]

Maybe you are looking for
