ISync / Palm AddressBook sync problem

Supposedly I should be able to set up iSync so that iCal syncs with Palm DateBook but the Palm Desktop AddressBook continues to sync with the Addressbook on my handheld. Following the directions in the support document below to I have set up iSync to sync iCal with the Palm Datebook, but have disabled syncing of Contacts (=Mac Address Book) because I prefer the the Palm Desktop AddressBook software.
"iSync: How to use with Palm Desktop"
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93166
Since I have unchecked "Contacts" in the iSync setup there should be no conflict with the Palm AddressBook conduit. However, when I follow the directions in the above document, iSync reports a conflict and disables the Palm AddressBook conduit.
How can I sync iCal to my handheld, but continue to sync the Palm Desktop AddressBook?
Thanks,

With the release of Mac OS X 10.4 and iSync 2, this additional, undocumented step became necessary:
You must toss the com.apple.isync.plist file from your users Preferences folder after unchecking either the Contacts or Calendars option in the device pane in iSync and restoring the appropriate Palm conduits to the active Conduits folder.

  • Solved. Palm TX Sync problem

    I had previously posted several messages regarding my problems with syncing of my Palm TX.  Several solutions were given, but the only thing that had worked was replacing my Palm TX since there were several problems with the unit.  Now the replacement is working and syncing just fine.

  • Palm Profile Syncing Problem

    I am hopng that someone much smarter than  can help me wih a problem I am having.  I had to switch my pre because of a charging problem.  When I got the new phone I logged onto my Palm Profile and it downloaded into the phone.  The problems started there as all the names of my contacts downloaded, but no phone numbers.  In addition only about a third of the applications I had downloaded.  Any idea why this happened or more importantly how to fix it??
    Thanks in advance for any help!

  • ISync Palm overwrite iCal and sync AddressBook

    Hi,
    I used to use iSync with my old palm, but disabled the conduit.
    Now I have a new Palm Tungsten T5 and want to start using iSync again.
    Do I just re-download the conduit?
    Also, when I do the first Sync, I'd like to overwrite iCal with the DateBook info on the Palm. However I've been adding addresses to both the Palm and the Mac, so I don't want to overwrite the Mac addressbook, but synchronise the two. Is it possible to sync addresses whilst overwriting datebook? Or could/should I wipe iCal clean somehow first? How would I do that?
    Cheers.
    iCal v1.5.5
    AddressBook v3.1.2
    Palm Desktop v4.2.1

    There is really no simple way to do this.
    You should actually start by installing the Palm Desktop software from the CD-ROM which came with your Tungsten, then 'upgrading' using the downloadable installer located here:
    http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421revd.html
    Once you have done this, you should move your Palm conduits so that only these current versions of the standard conduits are present in the active Conduits folder:
    • Calendar Conduit
    • Contacts Conduit
    • Memos Conduit
    • Tasks Conduit
    The Disabled Conduits folder should initially contain these conduits, if they are present in your configuration:
    • Address Conduit
    • Apple [that's the iSync Palm Conduit's Finder name]
    • Backup Conduit
    • Datebook Conduit
    • Install Conduit
    • Memo Conduit
    • ToDo Conduit
    …along with any other inactive conduits.
    Having done that, you need to then use the HotSync Manager to configure the individual conduits so that the Calendar and Tasks conduits are set to Macintosh overwrites handheld, and the Contacts conduit is set to Synchronize. Then, synchronize your handheld with the Palm Desktop. This step accomplishes several things: it meets the Apple requirement to synchronize at least once with the Palm desktop before installing and using iSync, it creates a a contemporary backup of your data, and it allows you to achieve the data transfers according to the patterns which you want - something that iSync does not allow.
    Now you need to download and install the iSync Palm Conduit. Having done that, launch the HotSync Manager or use the HotSync options of the Palm Desktop to add your device to iSync. Do this by selecting the iSync Palm Conduit, and checking the option to Enable iSync for this Palm device. Before you synchronize with iSync, do this…
    • export your calendar and task data from the Palm Desktop in vCal format
    • export your contact data from the Palm Desktop in vCard format
    • import the vCal data into iCal, replacing the current record set
    • import the vCard data into the Address Book, replacing the current record set
    Now, launch iSync, and configure the calendar and contact options you want in the drop-down configuration pane for your device. Initiate a synchronization event, and choose to merge - rather than to replace - the data on your devices.

  • Entourage 2008/Leopard/iSync/Palm Treo/Missing Sync

    I have been over all the "boards" and everyone is having the same problem syncing Entourage 2008 or even iCal with their Palms.
    I have been working at it for three days, and have come to the conclusion that I can get everything to sync to the Palm but cannot sync back. So the only work around is make all changes on the computer, and only use the Palm for the "walk around" reminder, and of course, the contact info.
    Not even close to satisfactory, but the only solution at present.
    Let me share what I did to clean up the mess.
    1. Wiped out all duplicate calendar entries in Entourage (took about five hours) and saved the database on a remote drive
    2. Wiped out anything to do with PalmOS in applications and library - do not wipe out anything in the Docs folder
    3. Unchecked the sync services in Entourage to the iStuff apps - rebooted, checked them again, and chose the overwrite from Entourage option
    4. within a few seconds, quite magically, iCal and Address Book were accurate again. Do NOT delete any of the calendars in iCal, and leave them all checked - I still don't know what they mean, or what the **** "unfiled" is, but leave it alone!
    5. Assuming you have "The Missing Sync", (this takes over entirely from PalmOS and HotSync Manager) only use the Mark/Space conduits - do NOT use any other contact, calendar, diary, date book, etc. Start off with contacts - select the "settings" - and choose Desktop overwrites handheld. It will work.
    6. then do the same for "Events" - this should work
    7. Then do the whole lot, but just the Mark/Space stuff, backup, any special software you have like AA Fligts, Zagat Guide, etc. etc.
    8. Test changing an event in iCal and see how quickly it changes in Entourage. Same with Address Book, and vice versa. But any changes on the Palm, (so far) have not appeared on Entourage - an alteration sometimes appears on iCal or Address Book, but does not get Synced to Entourage. Therefore, for safety, make all changes and additions on Entourage until a fix is produced.
    Now, there's the rub. A fix. Entourage syncs fine both ways to iCal and Address Book. I don't see why I have to use Sync Services anyway - with Entourage 04 and prior, the Entourage conduit used Palm OS and totally bypassed Sync Services (which is always running, and slows down the computer)
    Apple won't produce a fix, because they want us to buy an iPhone. Therefore, it's down to the people at Mark/Space to try and fix this issue. Don't know how they can, because it really looks like an iSync problem, - Missing Sync works back to iCal and Address, but not on to Entourage.
    Maybe we need a totally new third party fix that syncs Entourage directly to Palm.

    Entourage data has never synchronized directly with the Address Book and iCal.
    Traditionally, as with Entourage X and Entourage 2004, Palm user alone could choose to synchronize Entourage data using the Microsoft-supplied Entourage conduit to the Palm Desktop using that conduit, or by using the Missing Sync for Palm OS and that conduit.
    Later versions of Entourage 2004 provided for a means for all Entourage users to synchronize their date with the Sync Services framework, and therefore to the Address Book and iCal. Other compatible participants included the Missing Sync for Palm OS. iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit were involved only to the degree that Entourage data moved through the framework was thereupon synchronized to a Palm device using them. Users could bypass this process and continue to synchronize their Entourage data directly to a Palm handheld using the Entourage X or 2004 conduits, with this caveat: Entourage X users could not do so under Mac OS X 10.4.x from an intel processor-powered platform.
    With the release of Entourage 2008, Microsoft no longer provides an Entourage conduit for Palm users. This is no fault of Apple, Mark/Space or Palm: it is a decision solely on the part of Microsoft.
    The synchronization of Palm data for Mac OS 10.5 and later users is differentiated from this issue. A primary issue involved is an apparent incompatibility with iSync 3, another is a set of issues involving the synchronization engine in iCal, which was completely rewritten for iCal 3. Neither of these issues prevent a Palm user synchronizing with Entourage through the Sync Services framework using the Missing Sync for Palm OS. Those who would prefer to use a conduit to synchronize with Entourage 2008 are out of luck, as Microsoft no longer supplies a compatible one.
    The executive summary is this:
    • your specific issue has nothing at all to do with Apple
    • your option to synchronize a Palm device to Entourage using a conduit was eliminated by Microsoft, so…
    1. take your complaint to them (and, good luck with that…)
    2. contact Mark/Space to determine if they are willing to independently build an Entourage 2008 Palm conduit
    I would be the first to say that Microsoft's implementation of synchronization through the framework was, and remains, rather clumsy. Again, this is an issue for Microsoft, not Apple, Mark/Space or Palm.
    The Unfiled calendar in iCal is the single calendar to which, by default, all events created on a Palm device are synchronized. If you are using iSync, you can either use that calendar, or create another and delete the Unfiled calendar. I chose to name mine Palm events when I used iSync. Users of 'advanced' Palm devices with Palm OS 5.4 or later who choose to synchronize using the Missing Sync for Palm OS have their categorized events read from and written to the specific calendar for each category, and can delete the Unfiled calendar from iCal. Those users with an earlier release of the Palm OS—for example, OS 5.2 on a Treo 600—must continue to use the single Unfiled calendar or a substitute calendar into which all Palm device-created events are written. This requirement is the result of an issue with the Palm OS, and does not involve either Apple, Mark/Space or Microsoft.
    Synchronization works bidirectionally IF you have properly configured your environment. Any and all additions, changes or deletions of data store components associated with any application, device or server in your pool, will reflect the same information—to the extent that such information is universally supported—after one or more synchronization events.

  • Trouble enabling Palm OS Sync'ing in iSync 2.2

    I have a user with an iMac G5 running OS X 10.4.6, iSync 2.2, and Palm Desktop 4.2.1 rev D. (All the latest and greatest). Right now his Treo syncs through Palm Desktop fine to his Palm database, but we'd like to switch him over to sync to Address Book and iCal. In the old days of iSync 1.x I knew how to do this by installing Apple's "iSync Palm Conduit 1.2", but nowadays I understand with iSync 2.x you need to run the "Devices > Enable Palm OS Syncing..." menu command first which patches the conduits correctly.
    The problem is, when I try that I get an error saying that Palm Desktop isn't installed properly. I know that it is, and just to be sure I reinstalled it. I also opened up the permissions fully by issuing a "sudo chmod -R a=rw+X /Applications/Palm" command in Terminal.
    One thought I have is that this user is a Standard user. Do you need to run the "Enable Palm OS Syncing..." command as an administrator, since there may be application support pieces installed elsewhere? Has anyone else had issues getting this to work?
    Your help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    It is a permissions problem, but not in the location you imagine. The issue is primarily with the permissions settings here:
    Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync
    This issue occurs most commonly because a user has chosen to perform an archive and install of Mac OS X. Here are the appropriate Terminal entries to correct it:
    • sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Applications/Palm
    • 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/
    Running those commands should resolve the issue.

  • Palm T|X sync problems w/ Calendar 10.1.2 for Mac OS

    I have a new Palm T|X and running into sync problems with my Intel Mac. My IT people in my office can get oracle to sync from the "Macintosh to the handheld," but not sync, which makes my new palm nothing more than a fancy paper calendar (that my staff can't update/sync).
    I am ready to return this palm, to essentially revert to an older version of a PDA, which I obviously don't want to do. Does anyone know when new oracle calendar conduits that support the palm T|X for MacOS will come out or what other measures I can take to make it sync properly? I'd like to decide whether I should return my new Palm, hold it for a future upgrade, or just go back to my paper calendar!
    HELP! Thanks in advance!

    you need Oracle Calendar Sync version 9.0.4.2.11, which Oracle still has not put out on its download site, even though they will make it available on request.
    I have numerous Palm units (mostly Treo 650s and T|Xs) synchronizing with a variety of Mac units (PPC and Intel) using 9.0.4.2.11 with no problems.

  • 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 & Palm Treo failure

    Hi folks,
    Was a fairly happy user of iBook g4 OS 10.3.9 and Palm Treo 650 until sync'ing failed sometime last month. I had been using iSync to sync PDA contacts with Address Book, PDA calendar with iCal, and PDA Tasks with iCal as well (didn't realize that Memos sync with nothing, they are lost forever apparently). In late February I downloaded the Palm daylite savings time patch, seemingly successfully. Gotta wonder whether DST or the patch caused all this, huh? Anyway, I suffered a complete failure of my Palm Treo during a hotsync in March. It got stuck in a hotsync-reset loop. I had to do a hard reset. Of course, that wiped out everything on it. I tried to do a hotsync to reload everything, but hotsync process fails midway through. So I restored my Palm with BackupPro (I made backups way too infrequently, last one was months ago). Been reloading software (mostly medical stuff) ever since and slowly getting it to work.
    BUT, it is still crashing during hotsync unless I deactivate the iSync conduit. Specifically, the iBook and Treo sync the install files successfully, then it starts iSync stuff, successfully sync's the AddressBook-Contacts, then tries to sync the calendar-iCal stuff. It tries, it tries, it waits, then the Treo resets itself while the iBook keeps trying to reset. When I finally cancel the failed hotsync, I get this error report in the hotsync log:

    With regard to memos: when the iSync Palm Conduit is installed, the script deactivates the Memo Conduit and Memos Conduit. You can reactivate them by dragging them from the Disabled Conduits folder back into the active Conduits Folder. Both are found here:
    Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync
    The installation process does not delete them from the Palm Desktop. They remain there, but are not updated unless and until you reactivate the conduits.
    With regard to the iSync error: Warning: couldn't get record 338 for database DatebookDB, skipping the rest of the database
    That error indicates that the corrupted record resides on your Palm device, and not in iCal. To correct that problem, you should remove your device from iSync, add it back again using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option and choose to Replace the records on your Palm device, rather than Merge items with them.

  • 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 unable to sync up calendar after 10.4.9 upgrade

    Not sure if this is related to the 10.4.9 upgrade i did. I used to be able to use iSync to sync up address book and calendar with my Sony Ericsson K608i. Now i can still sync up the address book but the calendar synchronization is failing.

    I've just upgraded to 10.4.9 and have the same problem.
    Seems we're not alone: http://www.pierotofy.it/pages/usenet/7692-reisync_e_e61_su1049/
    Syncing contacts to my phone works but syncing calendar causes an error:

    I've tried removing the device from iSync, then doing a bluetooth setup device to add it in again and selecting reset device on first sync. It didn't help.
    I then tried syncing individual calendars. That worked for all but one calendar, so I presumed there's a specific event on that calendar which is causing the problem.
    So then I cleaned up that calendar by deleting all old entries and reentering some others that were non-trivial. That seems to have fixed it.
    I also sync with a Palm using Missing Sync 5.1.2.

  • Sync. problem with Address Book

    Dear all,
    I had a sync problem between my iPhone and the Mac Address Book, when I update some contacts with a picture and then when I try to sync iPhone the contacts came without the picture.
    I add some pics from the iPhone to the iPhone contact and try to sync and it was working.
    Is it only one sync or we should be able to do that from Address Book to iPhone and iPhone to Address Book.
    Thanks for your advice.
    Regards
    Florian

    Hi...
    First, sorry about my, english... rsss
    To repair this problem, you need make some steps:
    0. Backup your adress book first anything.
    1. Create a new Folder, put group per group of your adress book inside.
    2. Close Itunes and Adress Book
    3. Put the Isync preferences, inside system preferences to "Manually".
    4. Delete all inside the: ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
    5. Open Adress Book, that is empty.
    6. Create your first group, and click in the correspondent group inside the folder created.
    7. After put all contact back, use Itunes that is ok now....

  • ISync/Palm HotSync replaces w/old data

    Hey. This may be better suited for Palm support because it doesn't really seem like an iSync issue, but I use iSync/e2sync to Sync my Palm-based phone (Samsung i500...R.I.P). I have been having an ongoing issue that if I don't sync almost daily, that if it has been, say a week or so, since my last sync, Hotsync overwrites all of my data with OLD data and reinstalls all my programs. VERY frustrating. It never did this before Tiger and DOESN'T do this on my work laptop when I Sync. At work I just use Hotsync with an Entourage Conduit for my Entourage data. This machine does NOT have Tiger installed. At home, where Tiger IS installed and where this strange overwriting is happening, I bought e2sync hoping that would mix this overwriting problem. I checked "do nothing" for "backup" in Hotsync Conduit Manager and it is still overwriting if it has been a while since my last sync. Is there ANY explanation for the overwriting?

    NO, I am not using .Mac for anything.
    NO, my intention is not transfer the data between the two computers using my device as a "transport device".
    My intention is to have all my contacts and calendars on my device populated with information from my home and work computers. This is a problem that existed BEFORE I syncronized my device with two different computers. When I do sync and information conflicts it (iSync) warns me and asks me what to do. The overwrite problem is NOT coming from iSync it seems to be a Hotsync issue that may or may not be caused by TIger.

  • ISync/Palm Zire 21 question

    Please forgive me if this has been answered. I searched the board and don't see my question answered.
    Palm Zire 21: for the first 3 days, everything was fine except everytime I did an iSync, I had to reset the Palm (change the date, fix the time, etc.). I do not use, and hope I don't need to use, the Palm Desktop software.
    I have Hot Sync 3.2 (Enabled) and iSync 2.3 (Palm Sync Enabled).
    In an attempt to fix this/start from scratch, I got the following message: "In order for iSync to work properly with your Palm OS device, the following HotSync conduits need to be disabled.
    Address
    Calendar
    Contacts
    Datebook
    etc.
    After hitting "OK", those conduits no longer show up in the HotSync>Conduit Settings window (they are all in the Disabled Conduits folder now)
    Now iCal and To Do lists sync just fine, but no addresses show up in Palm AND I have to RESET every single time.
    Can you please help me understand why this would be so? What is markspace.com and do I need to get the "missing sync" there?
    Thank you Thank you Thank you in advance.

    Something clearly isn't right. Likely several things, actually.
    The contents of your active Conduits folder show no conduit conflicts. A couple of thoughts, though…
    You should move the Memo, Memos, Note Pad, Photos and Voice Memo temporarily to the Disabled Conduits folder to eliminate the possibility that any of these (maybe extraneous) Palm conduits are the root of the reset problem. The result will be that your Palm memos will no longer synchronize with the Palm Desktop, but that can be restored by moving the later Memos conduit back into the active folder. If the reset problem is no longer apparent when these conduits are not active, then one issue may be resolved.
    Open the HotSync Manager application on your Macintosh and check to see that the following conditions are true:
    • HotSync is set to Enabled in the HotSync Controls tab, and
    • USB is checked in the Connection Settings tab
    What does your HotSync log—as opposed to the iSync log—say about these events?
    Have you configured the synchronization parameters for your device in iSync by pressing the device icon labeled with your HotSync name to drop down a pane in which you select various contact and calendaring options? Are both Contacts and Calendars enabled?
    When you say, "… the only thing that's now uploading to my Palm is my To Do list" are you sure that in fact, it is to do and not memo information that is being transfered? I ask, because with the iSync Palm Conduit, to do or task data is synchronized by it with iCal, whereas there is no provision in iSync to synchronize memos. And, if iCal task data works, one has to wonder why event data does not synchronize…
