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.

Can't sync Palm with Mac through iSync, only syncs with Palm Desktop

I have an older Palm Tungsten T3 that I use basically only to run a medical application that I need at work (ePocrates, which has its own conduit and auto-updates itself with hotsyncs). I haven't tried to sync it to my Mac for a long time. I use iCal for my calendaring needs, sync it with my iPod, and ignore the old stuff that's on the Palm, which I hardly ever even sync.
Today I had to reinstall the Epocrates software, and decided while I was at it I'd try to get the Palm syncing with the Mac (iCal, contacts, etc) again because it would be nice for it to show the same calendar data.
I reinstalled the newest version of Palm Desktop from scratch. Installed the ePocrates software on top of it. I have iSync 2.4. My Palm was not listed as a device initially. I chose "Enable Palm OS Syncing" from the menu; iSync then went through a series of steps in which it disabled several conduits (presumably to no longer sync with the Palm Desktop), then told me to enable the iSync Palm conduit through the HotSync manager, which I did.
I now show the Palm as a device on iSync, but it has a yellow caution icon over it and I'm not sure why. Clicking on it shows an options dialog. I chose for the first sync I wanted to erase everything on the device and then sync with the Mac. My syncs appear to work, but when the data is checked it seems to sync only with Palm Desktop. The old junky data on the Palm was not erased as requested. Newer calendar events and contacts from my Mac have not made it to the Palm. The ePocrates auto update conduit is working fine but that's the only part that is.
Any idea what's incompatible, or what I'm doing wrong here?

I have The Missing Sync and used it to sync my palm TX. I am now in the process of trying to get iCal going properly again. No longer have any calender views in iCal and the week views don't show until I have opened a month view and then go back to the week view. Very bizzare. Also have a heap of untitled calendar views in the drop down list option when looking at the info on any event - these calendar views are not accessible anywhere else though.
I'm not sure if it is Missing Sync or something I did wrong at present. Will also throw the problem to the Missing Sync people to see what they say. Will let you know. It seemed to work really well without needing the palm desktop!

What version of Vista? 32bit or 64bit? If 64bit, as mentioned in the thread I referred you to, USB sync is not possible.
Are you trying to sync via Wifi or USB cable? Do you have a HotSync account name for the data on the computer?
When you did a Hard Reset, did you choose the HotSync account name you created on Palm Desktop?
The numbers you are referring to do not have any relation. One is a version of Palm software on the device, the other is the version of the HotSync Manager software included with Palm Desktop 6.2.2.
The firmware on the TX does not need to be upgraded. The problem lies elsewhere.

Need help setting up iSync with Palm

So, I'm trying to set up my Palm Treo 650 to sync with something other than Palm Desktop -- either Entourage or iCal, I guess. But I'm in this loop where iSync can't find Palm Desktop's HotSync Manager, and the HotSync Manager doesn't list iSync in its conduit settings. I can't figure out how to get the two to recognize each other.
When I select iSync > Devices > Enable Palm OS Syncing, I get an error message saying Hot Sync Manager has not been properly installed, etc. But it has. I've been syncing fine with Palm Desktop, I just don't like it and want to try something else.
I think I have the latest versions of everything installed -- OS 10.4.5, iSync 2.1.1, Palm Desktop 4.2.1, Entourage 10.1.6, iCal 2.0.3.
My Treo is syncing fine via both USB cable and Bluetooth.
Any ideas? Thank you.

Forgive my long-delayed response; I got busy with school and work. I have now been attacking this problem on and off, most recently for several hours today, and am slowly going insane.
I managed to get everything we talked about here set up -- the Disabled Conduits folder, an iSync conduit in Hot Sync, my Palm device added and syncing with iSync ....
I even got Palm info showing up in iCal. But I could not get Palm info imported into Entourage. The import wizard kept saying "the Palm Desktop file could not be found," or words to that effect.
I reset ALL the applications permissions.
I tried to install the latest version of Palm Desktop, 4.2.1 Rev D. over 4.2.1 Rev A (I assume, because it just said 4.2.1). Kept getting an error message at the final step in the installation process: "There were problems installing. Please try again.)
So I tried to reinstall Palm Desktop from my installation CD, and got the same install error.
So I deleted every vestige of Palm and Hotsync I could find on my computer, emptied the trash, and then tried to install the Palm Desktop CD. Same install error.
I am able to install other types of software just fine; in fact, just installed an OS X security update this morning.
This is driving me crazy. I don't know what to do. I am on Spring Break so I have some time to mess with my computer, but after tonight my Internet access will be spotty for the next week.

Duplicate calendar entries with Palm/isync

I was able to sync my Palm Tungsten E2 once with entourage, ical, and address book. I was able to enter events in the calendar (through entourage) and enter them in the palm, and it synced perfectly. I went to do it again, and now I have duplicate events in ical and entourage and palm (about 4). The palm appears in the isync and I've enabled the palm os sync, and when checking the hot sync manager, I select the icon, but it never applies. I spoke with palm and they said they didn't have the software updated for this version of macbook.
My question is, if it worked once, why not all the time?
And is there a way remove the duplicate events without manually deleting them?
MacBook 10.5.5
Tungsten Palm E2, conduit manager 3.2.1, isync 3.0.2, Palm 4.2.1

I haven't the time to answer this in depth at the moment, but you can do three things immediately:
• stop synchronizing and, if necessary, remove your device from iSync temporarily
• back up the contact, event and task data stored in the Address Book and iCal
• remove the duplicates* from your Palm OS databases
*The tool best suited for dealing with duplicate records on a Palm device is UnDupe, from Stevens Creek Software.
There a couple of fundamental issues in play here, and I will explain them later. It is particularly because you have chosen Entourage and intend to keep using it that dealing with this issue is more complex than it otherwise would be.

Isync no longer sees Palm TX

I had isync working with our Palm TX, as well as syncing with Palm's own desktop etc, when we were using the usb cable. Now, I have the Palm syncing successfully via bluetooth but only to the Palm desktop (when I choose sync from the palm the desktop manager opens on the mac and syncing takes place but I no longer see the iCal conduit launching). If I launch iSync itself the Palm symbol is no longer shown, and if I choose to connect to device it doesn't find anything. Strangely enough if I connect via cable again iSync still doesn't find the Palm. There must be something I'm overlooking.
It will allow me to install the means to sync to Palm OS but it says that some of the existing conduits have to be disabled in order to do so.

Unable to sync with Palm Desktop

Here's my problem. I haven't been able to sync with my elderly Palm IIIC for about 2 years. Now my daughter gave me her Palm Zire 31. All my data are in my Palm Desktop on my iMac G5. Somewhere along the way I tried using iSync and got a bunch of stuff in my Mac address book. So I did a hard reset on the Palm Zire 31, then successfully hot-synced on my G5. But my nice address from my Palm Desktop file isn't coming over, just the crummy one from the Mac address book I think. My Palm Desktop address file has all the names in categories etc. I have tried making sure I have the correct conduits for syncing with the Palm desktop, and I tried telling the Sync operation to override with the Mac contents. I just want to move all my address data from my Palm Desktop on my Mac to the Zire. Any help here?

If you want to move all of the address data from your Palm Desktop to your handheld organizer, there is only one way to do it: using the Palm-supplied conduits to do so, not iSync and it's built-in iSync Palm Conduit. The transfer of all of the data from the Palm Desktop, including categories, simply is not supported by iSync or the iSync Palm Conduit.
The Missing Sync for Palm OS is an alternative, but you have to plan carefully how you do this, as you must first move the data from the Palm Desktop to either your device—or, through an export/import process—directly into both iCal and the Address Book. iCal task data doesn't survive this process, only calendaring data. In either event, categories don't transfer.
You'll have to perform some manual categorization on both your device and in the Address Book, and iSync will not support these changes. It won't reverse or otherwise modify them, it simply won't synchronize them. This is the case because you must overwrite the data on your handheld the first time you use the Missing Sync for Palm OS to synchronize.
The Missing Sync for Palm OS will, but only when using Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, and an advanced Palm device with Palm OS 5.4 or later on board, as I recall. Only the Z22 would qualify, if that contention is true. Here is a list of Palm OS versions tied to specific handheld devices:

My Treo 600, with Palm OS 5.2.1, does not qualify as an advanced device and does not support categorization in the same manner as later devices do.

ICal events being deleted when syncing with Palm Zire 21

I have been syncing my Palm Zire 21 with iCal successfully for over a year with few problems. A few weeks ago I noticed that almost, but not all of the events on both the Palm device and iCal more than three months old were gone. Then, a few weeks later, I noticed that the events suddenly were all back in the iCal application, but not on the Palm device.
But this week, I used HotSync (as usual) to sync iCal and the Palm device, and the events were gone again. Now I am wondering what on Earth I am doing to cause this. I have read the articles about setting up to sync. I double-checked to be sure I have been syncing the way that is outlined in the instructions in the help articles.
I must have missed something vital. I have been backing up my iCal to my .Mac account using Backup. I am thinking that I can restore the iCal events using my last backup. Can I? And how do I keep this from happening again?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) "OS10.4.10" "iSync 2.4" "iCal 2.0.5" "Hotsync 3.1"

Found the issue for me. The events are not deleted, but filtered in the standard calendar view. The iPhone shows everything as it should. Outlook 2003 has all the events to as seen when going to categories view.
It seems that once events pass on the iPhone and then a sync via iTunes to Outlook 2003 the "All Day Event" field is removed from the calendar entry.
Creating another Day/Week/Month View in outlook 2003 that has a filter to only include calendar entries where the "All Day Event" field "does not exist" will allow viewing the "hidden" past events.
Hopefully this will be fixed VERY SOON.

Isyncing treo680, entries in palm end up in palmdesktop not in ical, etc

As opposed to the other isyncing problems here, i have no messages saying isync failed. however, entries i make into the palm do not end up in ical or address book but end up in the palm desktop; entries into address book in mac fail to make it into contact list with palm BUT entries into ical end up in my palm calendar. i have disabled the conduits requested by isync. i have updated the palm desktop and hotsync manager programs. is there anything else i should be doing aside from resetting (havent done that yet)thanks

Hello
It's a clean install, and fully updated to latest software update etc.
Right now I have no need for iChat server or Notification server. I suspect we'll never need iChat, but maybe oneday notifications might be helpful (if we get any iPhones I guess).
How do I turn these things off 'properly' - I've done all I think I can using the Server Administrator interface.
Thanks in advance for any / all guidance.

What is the CORRECT way to sync with Palm device?

Under Tiger, do you still need to open the iSync app before syncing with a Palm device? (mine is a Sony Clie SJ22).
I used to have to sync in this order:
1. open the iSync app
2. click "Sync Now" in .Mac Sync in the menu bar
3. press the Hotsync button on my Clie.
It worked.
But I just found this support doc:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302120
which says: "To sync your Palm OS device with iSync, press the HotSync button on the Palm cradle, cable, or the device itself. Both HotSync and iSync should open during the synchronization. Note: You must initiate the sync from the Palm device or the device will be skipped during the iSync sync."
I'm confused. I tried doing it this way and iSync does NOT open automatically when I press the Hotsync button--but the .Mac status in the Menu bar is turning to show it's syncing, and my ical items SEEM to be getting updated.
Can someone help clarify how this is supposed to work? Is this new in Tiger 10.4.4?

The correct way to synchronize a Palm device using iSync 2 or later is to first insure that all three options in the General section or your iSync Preferences… dialog are enabled:
√ Enable syncing on this computer
√ Show HotSync reminder when syncing Palm OS devices
√ Show status in menu bar
The each time your synchronize, you should launch iSync. [Or, alternatively, you should have it launched at login and hidden, so that it is running each time you press your HotSync button.]
The article is mistaken about the HotSync Manager needing to be launched prior to initiating a synchronization, as that task is accomplished whenever you press the HotSync button on your cable or cradle, or otherwise initiate a synchronization event.
It is true that you must initiate it from the Palm device, a cable or a cradle. Selecting Sync Now from beneath the Sync Status item in your menu bar will not launch the HotSync process, and your Palm device will be skipped.
These are substantial changes to iSync, which came with the release of iSync 2 and .Mac Sync under Mac OS X 10.4 about seven months ago, and they are a giant step backward for Palm users.
For that, and many other reasons - including the instability and lack of reliability with iSync 2 and later, I suggest that you take a look at the Missing Sync for Palm OS from Mark/Space:
http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php
It goes a long way toward addressing the long-term short comings of the iSync Palm Conduit by replacing it with three Mark/Space conduits - Contacts, Events and Tasks - and make synchronization of your Palm device a single-button process once again. It circumvents iSync and deactivates the iSync Palm Conduit and the HotSync Manager, eliminating three troublesome components that are a part of your current configuration. Your SONY Clié PEG-SJ22 is one of the many models supported by this package.

Centro will not sync with Palm desktop - Calendar and/or Contacts

I have used a Palm device for many years. Acquired a new Centro. Upon installation of Palm Desktop (on Windows XP) that came with Centro, all contacts, calendar, to do, memos, etc transferred to the Centro during installation.
Subsequent changes to contacts and/or calendar on Centro are not syncing with Palm desktop when Hot Sync is performed. Hot Sync starts and appears to complete normally. To Do list and memos appear to sync just fine. Have tried changing conduits to have Centro overwrite desktop. Have uninstalled/reinstalled Desktop many times.

Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

I have a Centro/Verizon Wireless using Versamail with accounts established for personal POP and Exchange e-mail synchronization. The latter account is for work. Previously I owned a Treo 650p using Versamail.
When I first installed Palm OS Desktop and synched to my Centro device, it was on a Windows XP home computer, and no Versamail accounts were defined. First I downloaded and installed the Versamail version which allowed Exchange synchronization. I exported the Treo650p contacts list to a disk file, and imported it onto the Windows XP home computer into the Palm OS Desktop installed with the Centro-supplied CD. This synched the imported contacts list to the Centro fine. After I defined all the POP and Exchange accounts, synchronization with the office Exchange contacts list worked fine, and still does. Synchronization with the windows XP home computer for contacts seems to still be ok, too regardless of the MS Exchange Versamail account commingling with my personal POP accounts. Maybe the install sequence is overriding the previous posts' notation that MS Exchange mail definition will override synch with Palm OS Desktop?
The problem now is I have a different/second home computer that's Vista os. I installed the Palm OS Desktop and synch with the Treo. The contacts list is not synching to this second home computer, maybe because I didn't follow the exact same sequence as for the Windows XP pc? I can still synch my Centro with my Windows XP pc and that includes contacts.
Is there a way on this second pc to override the MS Exchange contacts override for synchronization without having to go through the exact same install sequence as occurred on the Windows XP machine?

I just wanted to say I am sorry and clarify the situation as it was clarified for me yesterday... Great experience with Palm Customer Support.

I called Sprint yesterday and was treated terribly by tech support because I didn't want to switch devices. They as much as called me outright stupid for wanting to stay with my Palm Pre. Even though they agreed that all four phones were broken out of the box and that I was not at fault. They refused to help on the basis that Palm Pre's were being recalled and no longer would be available at Sprint. I was so upset that I called Palm immediately and found that to be untrue. Thankfully. Despite all the issues I had, I don't believe it was Palm's fault. I believe the Authorized Retailers were selling refurbished phones as new. Especially after finding out that my husbands' Samsung Moment had over 400 hours of talk time a week after he bought the phone. So, after being lied to by Sprint, I called Palm and the Tech's were very helpful and very empathetic and are sending me a replacement phone. They waived the fee since this is to be my 5th replacement and I was extremely surprised at how helpful they were.
Further, this morning I got a phone call from an unknown number... which I almost didn't answer but I did and it turned out to be a Palm Corporate Customer Service Rep who had read some of my "rants" on here. He apologized and we talked for a while about the problems I had with R**** $&*** and Sprint. He then offered to replace the Touchstone I had purchased earlier this month and offered to call me after I receive the replacement and the TS kit to make sure there was no problems... which I believe he will. SO, I am a person who is very happy with Palm. If I am wrong, I will say I am wrong... especially if my experiences could had given people pause about buying this phone. I am sorry. It is truly a great company, who does care about their customers and their opinions.
So, if you do end up being one of the few people who have an issue. Try Sprint once and if they don't fix the problem... call Palm and they will take care of you. I got caught up in a cycle of reading other people examples (and who knows how much a situation is exaggerated) and expected to receive horrible service from Palm. But I didn't and I am glad that I stuck with them.
If anyone reading had a similiar experience from Palm where they went above and beyond the call of duty to restore your faith in the company... please post if you have the time. Thanks again

I am sorry if I didn't explain clearly but Radioshack is the first place I bought my phone from... as an authorized retailer I assumed that if it was new, it wouldn't be broken... but after the first two, I got online and found another story where Radioshack got caught selling a refurb Palm Pre as new. The guy bought it took it home and it had some defect (that I can't remember) and when he went to Pandora App, he found that the previous owner had signed in and it hadn't been cleared out. So.... I don't know... but I agree with you because you still see the problem clearly. Sprint acts as though they are supportive of Palm, but if you have the slightest issue, they throw Palm under the bus and won't back a far superior product. I do agree that there are some issues with the Palm build, but I think that it has more to do with the owner than anything. If you have the time and ability to take care with your Pre, then it will probably last longer than someone who just jams the charger in the port or anyone who doesn't baby the phone 97% of the time. I am sure some people are going to say that you shouldn't have to take sure care with a phone and I agree, but unfortunately that is just the case for now. I have faith that the next webOS device is going to be of a spectacular and solid build quality. And the rep that called me about the charger kit said some about a future device, I don't know if he was just talking in general or if there is actually a device in the makings but I hope so!
http://forums.precentral.net/palm-pre/240804-still-my-1st-pre-proud.html#post2368881
I know there was a post on precentral that talked about who was on their first Palm Pre's and the number was surprising high. I just know that I am still waiting on my replacement from Pre and they could have very easily just grabbed a refurb and threw it in a box to be shipped. But I was assured that a tech was going to inspect the device before it was sent to me and it was shipped two days after my order. So, hopefully dealing with Palm rather than Sprint will be the deciding factor that allows me to finally have a great model of the Pre with no prior issues out of the box. I just hope that there is a new Palm webOS device when I able to upgrade in a year or so. Above is the link for the forums regarding owners who are still on number one, alot of them launch day Pre's. Thanks for your response. Can't wait till Monday

How can I sync my Address Book and ICal with Mac and PC with Palm Desktop?

I now have the IPhone and I love it!!! But I have some issues and need help please. I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. In the PC I use the Palm Desktop Version 4.1.4 and I have there all my contacts (more than 1,100), all my date book (since 1998) and all my memos (about 600). I want to see what would be the best way get rid of my Palm Handheld and have only the IPhone, but I have encountered some problems and many steps. Everyday I have to sync the Palm Handheld at work, then sync the Palm Handheld at home with my Mac (using The Missing Sync, but it takes a long time every time), then sync the IPhone. Can you please help me??? How can I sync my data from my PC (Palm Desktop) with the IPhone? Another, thing; I do not want to use Outlook at work because the information that I want to sync (Palm) is my personal data and I want to keep using the Palm software for that.

aflores48,
Unfortunately, the iPhone is not designed to sync with Palm software. As stated in the minimum system requirements, the iPhone can sync with Outlook (2003, 2007 or Express) on a PC, or with iCal and Entourage on a Mac. If you do not want to use Outlook on the PC, you can sign up for a free Yahoo account and sync with Yahoo Address Book. Yahoo Address Book can be used to sync from PC or Mac. More information on the minimum system requirements for the iPhone can be found here:

List of email clients/address books that will sync with palm desktop 6.2

Is there (and if not, I think there should be) a list somewhere of email clients whose address books will sync with a palm Treo (palm Desktop version 6.2)? I have been happily using various palm handhelds for about 6 years now and have been syncing the address book with Mozilla and now Thunderbird for the last couple years. I currently have an m130, but it's time to upgrade to a "smart phone" as I'm tiering of carrying around two devices. Unfortunately, the Treo requires palm Desktop version 6.2 which is not compatible with the Thunderbird palm sync. I have had the idea that Outlook (which I've never used or been exposed to) will sync with palm, but something I read gave me the impression that I would need to buy some third party software to make that happen, plus the $110 they want for Outlook. I would like to think there are other choices for someone who just wants to sync their smart phone with their email client's address book. It seems that such syncing ability would be esential to palm's sales and that a listing of all such syncing possibilities would be extremely beneficial to sales, particularly for new sales to people aren't already insiders on this sort of topic. The lack of ability to sync with Thunderbird may just cause me to stick with my old m130 awhile longer and give up on the idea of a nice new smart phone.

Wow, thanks a bunch! You just saved me from a long, involved, and discouraging search for an alternative. I'm using WindowsXP, palm m130, palm desktop 4.1, Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 and Thunderbird's palm sync conduit palmsync-2.0.0.x-wsm . I'm wanting to purchase a Treo 700 on ebay, but went to the palm site, clicked on the support link, then the Treo 700, then the downloads tab and it directed me to desktop 6.2, which made me believe I would have to use that to sync a treo 700.
I do wish that both palm and Thunderbird would talk more about the palm Thunderbird palm sync. Unless you're a real geek or very determined (I'm the later), you're not likely to find out that such capability exists. I can't believe I'm the only one out there who needs to have my email client address book contacts with me all the time, so there has to be others who are looking for this.
Next stop, ebay - I have a smart phone to buy.

64-bit Windows 7 Pro's Windows XP Mode, Palm Desktop 4.1.4 sync with Palm Vx?

I last talked about Palm Desktop compatibility with 64-bit Windows at http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&message.id=37767. Fortunately, I haven't replaced my laptop yet, so I am in the enviable(?) position of planning the acquisition of a spanking new machine with 64-bit Windows 7 Pro (sidenote: likely a 14" ASUS). However, my PDA is still Palm Vx, which requires Palm 4.1.4, which requires 32-bits, which is provided in Windows 7 Pro by its Windows XP Mode. Has anyone heard any word of whether XP mode allows seamless sync'ing through the serial or IR ports? Serial is most preferrable, of course, due its speed, lack of headaches with line-of-sight alignment, and the fact that it needs to be docked anyway for recharging.
I'm not sure if it's as dependent on the Palm Desktop version as much as it depends on the Hotsynch Manager, which is 4.1.0. There are probably certain Hotsynch Manager versions that are compatible with Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and Palm Vx.

Serial is most preferrable, of course, due its speed, lack of headaches with line-of-sight alignment, and the fact that it needs to be docked anyway for recharging.
I'm not sure if it's as dependent on the Palm Desktop version as much as it depends on the Hotsynch Manager, which is 4.1.0. There are probably certain Hotsynch Manager versions that are compatible with Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and Palm Vx.
