Palm Desktop prohibits 2:00am appointment on 2nd Sunday in March

I am using Palm Desktop 4.2 with Palm TX. When I enter an appointment in Palm Desktop to begin at 2:00am on the 2nd Sunday in March (such as the beginning of Daylight Savings), the appointment appears to begin at 1:00am. I have not found any other days that exhibit this problem. I can enter the appointment in the Palm TX without problems, but after HotSync, it shows in Palm Desktop as beginning at 1:00am, but continues to show as starting at 2:00am on the TX. What gives?

Use Palm Desktop 4.1.4 to sync Palm Vx to Clie

I apologize in advance if this is the wrong group/forum. It seems to fit better than Software for the mobile PDA device. If I am wrong, I am open to suggestions as to a more appropriate forum.
I ran into the wonky digitizer problem that seems to afflict Palms, for which there are plenty of short-term software fixes, but for which the long term fix is to reseat the digitizer cable:
http://www.directfix.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=GHT&Category_Code=_P5TAKE
The procedure looks positively barbaric. Frankly, it looks like the Palm Vx was not designed for ease of home tinkering. I decided that it was time to change PDAs (or move to a smartphone -- however, data plans in my 'hood are a gouger). Fortunately, I was able to inherit a retired Clie PEG-T665C from a colleague. It is much bigger than the Vx, but seemed much more straightforward to disassemble for the purposes of reseating the cable; for one thing, it seems to have a screw holding it together rather than glue all the way around. Another impetus to move away from Vx to Clie is that the graffiti area of the Vx is getting very scuffed, and stylus motions are not registering well at all. Not good for the blood pressure.
The only unknown was the migration of data from Vx to the Clie. This "problem" was simplified by the fact that my usage of the Vx was extremely simple: Datebook, Addressbook, and Memopad. Absolutely nothing more. For my purposes, the Clie offers no feature advantages, so my switch is only for the ease of reseating the digitizer cable (if it is ever needed), and a more responsive graffiti area. Since I wasn't using any of the Clie-specific features, I crossed my fingers and hoped that I didn't need to track down Palm Desktop for the Clie; it doesn't seem to be easy to locate, and I don't want to explore the wonderful world of having two Palm Desktop apps on my PC.
Instead, I put the Clie in its cradle, connected it to the USB, and sync'd (sunk?) it to Desktop 4.1.4 that I was using for the Vx. I noted that the Vx differed in that its cradle used the serial port, though it is quite possible that this not a significant difference. In sycing the Clie, I was asked by Palm Desktop to create a 2nd user, which I was sure to name differently from the Vx user; the Clie manual said that having two devices with the same name was a recipe for unpredictable results. After creating 2nd user, I copied the *.dat and *.bak files for Addressbook, Datebook, and Memopad from the Vx user directory to the Clie user directory. (I had to be logged into Palm Desktop as the Vx user for this to work). This seemed to migrate the Vx entries to the Clie user, and sync'ing caused the entries to transfer to the Clie itself.
The only hiccup is that the first time sync'ing after copying the files yielded error messages that not all files got copied, though I'm not sure if that was from the Clie to the Clie user account on Palm Desktop, or vice-versa. The 2nd time I sunk, I didn't get the error messages. However, if there were a few dropped records, I probably wouldn't notice it from eyeballing the PDA. So I'm not sure how confident I should be. My uncertainly gives rise to three questions.
1. Is there any reason why I should worry about using generic Palm Desktop with the Clie, rather than *the* "Palm Desktop for the Clie" (i.e. Sony's Palm Desktop made specifically for the Clie)?
2. What is an efficient way to check that all records match between the Clie and the Vx?
3. Since I am unsure how much to trust the fidelity of the data on the Clie (with respect to the Vx), I would like to use both for some duraton. Is there a way to use one Palm Desktop account for both devices without incurring the risk of "unpredicitable outcomes" that the Clie manual warns about? Using one account sure beats copying files between the two accounts. Copying files between two independent accounts also creates the real risk of having changes occur on both accounts -- I'm not sure how I'd reconcile that (if I was lucky enough to even notice that it happened).
I should also add that both the Vx and the Clie had Palm OS 4.1, though I'm not sure that makes any difference in easing migration and synchronization on the PC side of things.
Post relates to: Palm Vx

Actually, I just used unix commands to compare addressbook and memopad csv files from the Palm Desktop accounts for the Vx and the Clie. This convinces me that addressbook and memopad got properly migrated from Vx to Clie. Unfortunately, exporting to csv is not an option for the datebook app, and the dba files contain differences in the nontext characters between the Vx and the Clie. Is there a way to compare datebooks?
Thanks.

Times on Palm desktop doesn't match handheld

I recently Bought a Palm Centro and with it came the newest version of Palm Desktop. I installed it and I hace this strange problem, in my Centro I have an appointment at 9:00am. In Palm Desktop, also appears at 9:00am, but when the alarm starts in the PC along with it's dialog box, it appears that the event is at 01:30. The same happens if for example I see an event scheduled for 12:00 noon. In the graphic day view it appears in the 12:00 noon range, but if I open the appointment for editing, in the "time" for that event appears 4:30. What's wrong?
Thanks for the support

DTfromBT thanks for your response,
Yes, I live in Caracas Venezuela, and my PC is set for the correct time zone for this city which is GMT-4:30. My Centro has Caracas in the time zone list, and is set to it correctly.
I was using a previuos version of Palm desktop until yesterday when I installed this newer one that came with the Centro, and I didn't had this problem then.

Palm Desktop crashes when viewing one month in monthly view

Hi--this is a weird problem. Never seen it before.
--My Treo 680 (Win XP SP3), with Palm Desktop 6.2.2 seems to sync fine. I make changes in the Treo, it appears on the desktop.
--Also, I can view and edit the desktop in DAY view.
I normally default to monthly view though--and when I try to edit anything in a monthly view the Palm Desktop immediately crashes.This also seems to happen only with one month--July--where I recently added a lot of new appointments.
I ran the "check" tool for corrupted records, came up clean.
The data seems to be there and be safe and sync, but every time I try to access this one month from monthly view--it crashes.
Any advice, suggestions?
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

Your link generated an error message..but I did find a couple of relevant threads. Thanks..
--I have no appointments spanning midnight, so I presume that's not the problem
--I'm reluctant to downgrade versions. I use the same software on my Vista laptop as on my XP desktop and I'd like to confuse the issue or go through degrading both.
The dbfix program was more interesting. It found for Calendar: one appointment in several places that it said "blob goes beyond end of record."
I don't know what that means, but it was particularly odd as this particular appointment was repeated in multiple years as long ago as 1969, it said--which goes beyond the ability of the desktop software even to access; certainly I wasn't using a Palm in 1969, and obviously it didn't exist. So I deleted all of them but for that 1969 one since the desktop will only go back to Jan 1970.
After deleting what I could delete on the desktop, I sync'd.
Didn't help.
I ran the program again and the exact same older--presumbably fictitious-appointments from old years like 2007 were still coming up as checked errors. Hmmm. Apparently deleting them on the desktop helped not at all. So now I deleted one on the 680 as a test.
I sync'd. Immediately crashed the Palm, but when it came came back up. I doublechecekd--that 2007 record was now gone from everything, desktop and PDA. I syncd again,,,went through fine this time.
Ran dbfix again to check--just coming with that one 1969 inexplicable error. Ran Palm Desktop now. Ran the Options/Tools/Check record on the desktop (included utility) just to be sure--no errors.
The final test--running Palm Desktop back in monthly view. Immediately crashed again.
Shrug!
Now, I don't mind buying the dbfix program if that'll do it, but does this seem like something it needs to go through and might actually fix, as opposed to my manually deleting the things?

Palm Desktop Software Data Transfer

I have an iMac OS which is 5 years old. This year I'm going to be buying the most recent iMac Desktop.
The only Palm software I make use of is my "desktop software" which I use as an all around replacement for the old day runners. For instance, I use it's menu to put all my names & addresses in, keep a list of things to do there, under "memos" I have made categories in chronological order such as "computer stuff"; "legal", "medical" and there are about 25 categories there under which I write down important information that I refer to if I must. And, of course I use it as a calendar such that when I make an appointment, it all goes on my current desktop software which I believe is 4.0.
When I asked the Apple salesperson if I could transfer all the data I had from this computer to my new computer, he was not sure that would work as it may not even be compatible anymore with the newer computers. I rely on this information so much that I would not want to lose it. IF there is no way to transfer all the info I have in my Palm Desktop ... the only thing I thought I could do is write the info down, and re-enter it into some new application that is compatible. Is there any application that I could use instead of Palm if I can't. I'd rather just transfer what I have, and I don't want to lose the data when transferred. I hope this makes sense.
I would want to transfer everything that I had on this computer to the new one if possible. Please advise. How do I keep my data intact?
Thanks

Also do note that the 700w runs windows mobile and will not utilize any of the Palm software (e.g. palm desktop, hotsync). You will need to download a program from Microsoft being ActiveSync or Windows Mobile device center if you have vista.
ActiveSync 4.5 - Use if you have Windows XP

Palm Desktop 4, W7 drivers & HotSynch working. Also, Desktop Text Size Increase.

Hope this is of use to anyone wishing to continue using their Palm M515 (or similar).
I am using the M515 with Windows 7 and have the HotSynch working fine.
A) W7 Drivers
- Download & Install "ACEECA Handheld Device Drivers" from "Access, Inc." OR "ACEECA International Limited"
http://aceeca.com/index.php?option=com_maqmahelpdesk&Itemid=5&id_workgroup=1&task=downloads_product&...
   my driver dates: 4/4/2011 (if you cannot find the drivers, or they are removed, email me at   [Personal Information Removed]
- Ignore the W7 error messages during Install.
- Device Manager will report "This device cannot start. (Code 10)", but it will work perfectly.
- The "device" will most likely appear as something like: "PCI bus 4, device 0, function 0"
B) Palm Desktop 4 software - increase Font Size for better viewing
Font Size from Desktop 4.1 to 4.1.4 is Too Small--can it be changed. [ Edited ]
Options
03-08-2010 03:05 PM - last edited on 03-08-2010 09:51 PM
Using "regedit" I was able to change the font size larger for use with the Palm Desktop software.
Run "regedit" and export (save) a backup copy for safety
    File > Export
Search for "FontSmall"
    Edit > Find > Find what > FontSmall
Click on FontSizeGeneral and change the "Value data" to 16
Exit "regedit"
Run Palm Desktop software and enjoy the new legible font size!
Notes:
1) The location of the Palm Desktop software on my system using "regedit" is:
        HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core
        * Your location of the Palm Desktop software may differ.
2) I tested this on monitors using resolutions of 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768
        The font size is noticeably readable and much, much better
3) You may also change the font family from the default (Arial) to another, such as Verdana, etc.
        FontCard    (Changes the font family in the side panels)
        FontGeneral    (Changes the font family for most of the program fonts)
4) Operating System: Windows XP Pro
        Palm Desktop v4.1.4
C) HotSynch Configuration
- suggest you disable most of the sysnch options.
- for 1st synch op., enable by default "Synchronize both ways". The Palm Desktop should prompt for username. Make sure you use the existing "user", ex "Paul" at the "input new user" prompt on Palm Desktop during the 1st time HotSynch. If you get it wrong, do not panic, you will create a new user and Synch all the same. Just repeat the operation with the correct name, verify the data is synched under both users, then delete the "duplicate".
- After 1s Synch, set defaults for future Synch ops., ie. Synch Both Ways, or Handheld overwrites Desktop...et cetera. Think about how you use the Handhelp and where you generally input most fresh appointments and memos. Personally I "synchronize" both ways in order to no miss anything.
NB: The M515 are being given away in 2nd hand shops. They are cheap & easy to find & work great. I have a collection. When one breaks I Synch to the next and never lose data. Unlike various "Smartphones" which have a tendency to break after just one bump or "fall", get stolen or just die!
Long live PALM! Thank you for reliable products

Thanks for this contribution, wobbly2010!
The m515 was a great device in its time! I used to tether it to my cell phone via cable, and then place it into the Palm IR keyboard turning it into a portable "tiny terminal" as I used to refer to it. Mobile internet! What a concept...

Synching Zire 31 with both Outlook 2003 and Palm Desktop

I use Outlook at work but not at home so I synch my Zire 31 with Palm Desktop at home. It works fine synching with both. I like the Memos and Tasks features better on Palm Desktop, so I would like to use them at work. I'd like my Zire to Synch at work with Outlook for some features (i.e. Contacts and Calendar) but with Palm Desktop for others (i.e. Memos and Tasks).
When I use the setup CD, it asks if I want to synch with "Palm Desktop" or with "Outlook and Palm Desktop". Based on this, it sounds like I should be able to choose the 2nd one and synch with Outlook and Palm Desktop, but I can't get it to do that. When I choose that option and then go into Custom for synch setup, the only options there are for Outlook. How can I get it use Palm for Memos and Tasks?
Post relates to: Zire 31

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. What it is asking is, for Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Memos do you want them to sync with palm desktop OR outlook? Its all four or nothing. When it is both what it means is if you sync with outlook, calendar, contacts, tasks and memos will sync to outlook all others, media, all your settings etc will go to palm desktop. The main 4 can NOT be seperated its all or nothing.

Migrate from Palm Desktop/OS 10.4 to OS 10.6 & new iPod Touch?

I'm very dependent on Palm Desktop 4.2.2 to keep my life organized. My old Palm died long ago, but I like Palm Desktop more than any other alternatives I've seen. I've ordered a new iPod Touch. I'm pretty sure that, to use it with my iBook (running OS 10.4.11) that I'll need to upgrade to Leopard or Snow Leopard if I want to share info with the Touch.
Moreover, I think I'll need to sever any ties to my beloved Palm Desktop: I don't think it's compatible with OS 10.6. I've explored similar posts, but haven't found an answer I could use or understand. So if someone knows of an online description of migrating from Palm Desktop to either the equivalent Apple products or to Google, I'd appreciate the URL.
The main feature I like in Palm Desktop is the ability to create links between all the modules. For example, I can set an appointment with a doctor, then attach the doctor's contact information and attach a memo that has a list of questions and directions to the new office. My existing database is cross-linked between all these types of info.
Is there any way I can retain these cross links when I migrate? Do any of the Apple PIM programs let you create these kinds of cross references with new information? Does Google or some other software let you do this better?
From what I've read, it sounds like getting the information exported into a format that can be imported to a new program isn't easy. BTW, I'll also be migrating from Eudora to either Mail, Thunderbird mail, or some third party equivalent. I won't use any flavor of Outlook. Is there something about MobileMe that would make this migration easier?
Can you tell that I'm operating on the very fringe of what I'm technically able to understand? I've stuck with Palm Desktop for 8 years. I'd appreciate any guidance anyone could provide -- in an easy, step-by-step way. Forgive me if this information exists elsewhere. Directions to that info also would be appreciated.
Quickly exceeding my technological Comfort Zone,
Marganne

The Palm Desktop works fine with 10.6.6 (and even Hotsyncs to Palm, though I gather this is irrelevant to you). However it is dependent on Rosetta, so (avoiding speculation to conform with the terms of this Forum) were Rosetta to be removed in a future system upgrade the Palm Desktop would be inoperable.
You're not going to be able to salvage the contents and use them in a linked fashion in the same way. It's possible to salvage the contents, though it's going to entail some work.
MEMOS - Evernote (basic version free) is a good replacement and extremely flexible: its contents can be synced to an iPhone or iPod Touch. The contents of the Palm Memos can be imported into Evernote using the Palm Desktop Memos Importer for Evernote (free)
CALENDARS - Palm Desktop menu File>Export and export Date Book as vCal. In iCal File>Import and import the vCal file into iCal - it will appear as an 'On My Mac' calendar. Use File>Export>Export to export this as an .ics file. Create a new calendar under your MobileMe login name (I'm assuming you've upgraded to the new MobileMe calendar) and import the .ics file into this. Delete the previously imported calendar. (If you don't want to use MobileMe just leave the imported calendar where it is.)
You can't separate the Palm categories and you will need to go through it making any necessary adjustments.
It's worth considering BusyCal, which is like 'Pro' version of iCal with much better handling of ToDos and many extra facilities. On an iPod Touch it's well worth considering Week Cal which, though I've not tried it, appears to be a much better calendar than the rather basic built-in one.
TASKS - you will have to enter these manually, one at a time - it doesn't appear to be possible to import them into iCal. iCal won't handle repeating ToDos - BusyCal will. They also make BusyToDo for iOS which reads the ToDos from the MobileMe calendar and handles them separately and much better.
ADDRESSES - you can export these as a vCard - select all first - and import that into Address Book (watch out for duplicates if you are already using Address Book).
It's not clear if you have MobileMe: if you don't want to sync between computers or iPhone/iPod Touch you don't need it, but if you do it's the best way - Google and Yahoo have issues. However you should be able to sync to an iPod Touch using iTunes, though as I don't have this device I don't know whether there are any downsides.

Palm deskTop software 6.2 has problems;

Having just purchased a PalmTX, and installed PD6.2 (by Access) as the latest o/s for deskTop, i am dissapointed in a number of things. There is no longer support for colour to quickly show which category the event belongs to, and the software seems very unstable, freezing if i attempt to edit the users, from either menu allowing it, or whenever i attempt to look at media on the desktop. The palmTX seems to have no stability problems itself, and is not effected during hotSync, except there is always an error message refering to backing up a file that cannot be opened.
Post relates to: Palm TX

I asked this in a different forum yesterday and have gotten no reply so far, so I'll try here. Is there some trick to getting the "PIM Conduit Sync->Sync with Outlook" option to work under Vista 32 with Outlook 2007 sp1? The company "upgraded" me from an XP system running Office 2006? (whatever the previous version was) to a new Vista machine running OUtlook 2007. I installed Palm desktop 6.2 from Palm's download site to get the latest version and selected Outlook as my sync source for my Tungsten TX. Sync reported no errors except for the database file that's been there since forever, so I assumed that everything was working correctly. Until I noticed that no appointements were being transferred... Got to looking and while the TX conduit manager shows both calendar AND Date Book conduits as active, the Hotsync on the Laptop shows ONLY Date Book and is synchronizing with Palm Desktop, despite the PIM Conduit Sync->Sync with Outlook happily proclaiming that "Outlook is already set up to manage your calendar, contacts, notes...". "Calendar" is not even a Selectable option on the PC side. So is this an Outlook 2007 problem, a Vista problem, a Desktop 6.2 problem, or something that nobody else has ever heard of?

Not Hot Syncing w/Mac OS X 10.5.2 and Palm Z22, Palm Desktop 4.2.2

I tried double clicking the Hot Sync application, but it will not enable at system setup Error msg: "Could not create auto launch entry to enable HotSync at startup". Otherwise, Hot Sync Manager tells me that it is enabled, I selected it. Yet nothing is hot syncing. I entered some data into palm destop, and I don't see it on my handheld. Are all of these components compatible?
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Ok. So I successfully hot synced, or so I thought. I disabled the hot sync, and then when I tried to re-enable it said that transport manager, and then conduit manager were not in the same folder, so that's why it wouldn't work. I gave up trying to have the hot sync manager in an easy location (ie. on my desktop), and deleted the icons. Then I tried again, but the step I was missing each time was hitting hot sync on my handheld! I haven't use a palm pilot in a looong time. The first hot sync was interrupted and incomplete, the 2nd one seemed to work. Only problem is, the data I entered in the datebook of Palm Desktop doesn't appear on my handheld. THat's precisely what I want to hot sync, much easier to do it on the comp. than manually on my handheld. Help? Does it make a difference that my computer is not registering a new device?

Palm Desktop 4.2 - Text of color coded calendar entries are hidden for some colors

Environment:
Treo 680
Palm Desktop 4.2 running on Windows XP Pro
Color coded calendar entries have been working great since I got my phone over a year ago. When I added a new color category (bringing my total to 7 categories) I noticed that some of my calendar entries showed the color coded bar for the appointment, but the text for the entry was hidden. Nor was I able to edit the entry using Palm Desktop since any attempt to select the entry tries to create a new entry.
Thinking that I had exceeded a limit for the number of color categories I deleted the new category (so the entries were now unfiled). Now, all but one of my color categories are affected (color bar for appointment, but no text visible), including those marked with a category of "undefined".
The only color that now shows the text for calendar entries is my default category (not unfiled). This affects all of my existing calendar entries and any new ones I create, regardless of whether I create them on the Treo or using Palm Desktop.
If I press <tab> to cycle through my appointments on the page, it selects only those for my default color cateogry where the text of the entry is visible (i.e. it skips all the other appointments).
The calendar entries are all visible on my Treo, thankfully.
I have not installed any new apps or updates.
I've not been able to find anyone else reporting this problem.
My next step will be to restore my backup from last week, but I was hoping to avoid that if possible, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Pardon my ignorance, but where do I set categories to all?
Tools > Categories
Whichever category I select here becomes the default category and its entries will be visible, but all other categories will be hidden. My only other options are New, Delete, Rename and Help.
The only other configuration setting for categories that I can find is under

I have the checkbox "Display color-coded categories" checked

Palm desktop calendar - in month view, event times are in wrong order!

I use Palm Desktop 4.1.4 on my Windows XP machine (I don't own a PDA). I enter my appointments in Week view and they look fine, but when I go to Month view (I want to print this view), the events for a given day show up in the wrong order!
For example, on one day I see:
9a Event
10:30a Event
2p Event
12p Event
and on the next day I see:
9a Event
2p Event
10a Event
I tried changing things in Options and Preferences - no luck. I have messed around with it and can't figure out any weird pattern it might be sorting by (I've tried re-entering appointments to see whether it sorts by the last time they were entered/edited, and looked into whether it was sorting by category, length of event name, first digit of the time, length of time, alphabetically by event name, by whether it repeats/has a location/has a note/has an alarm/was entered by clicking once and typing or by right-clicking). It just seems baffling, and it definitely seems like a bug, since of course you'd want your events sorted by time.
Does anyone know what's going on or have this problem?
Thanks!
Post relates to: None

I had looked at this in response to another post, and didn't notice the same problem. But then I went back further and noticed it sure enough...it's only occasional.
I haven't done any kind of analysis as you have apparently done, mostly because I don't really use the desktop application except occasionally.
Thought maybe it sorts repeating events differently than single events, but I've seen it both ways, so that doesn't seem to be it.
It doesn't bother me enough, but it certainly seems like it would warrant an email support request to Palm, to see if they have an answer.

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?

Can't get Palm Desktop app to react after syncing with Yahoo mail calendar info

Attempted to move calendar from Yahoo mail page to Palm Desktop in my Macbook--
Yahoo page says "don't use Intellisync" --thre is a new program called Autosync--but it turns out it doesn't work for Macs --clearly, many instructions on Yahoo paged do not apply to Macs--
find this is a common problem on many sites--assumption that all are PC folks.
Imagine how things will go if Microsoft actually buys Yahoo!
Anyway--Created Calendar as a CV file and imported to Palm Desktop--
now cannot get program to run correctly--it appears all of the calendar info was imported to calendar day on which I imported it--so there is a huge amount of info being processed whenever I attempt to interact with the app.--the dreaded beachball appears and spins endlessly--
Have re-installed Palm app. (4.2.1) but problem seems to be imbedded, and re-occurs.
Is there any solution except to dump the entire app. from my hard drive, lose my archive et. al.
and re-synch from my Tungsten E2???

Did away with it in 10.8. Sync via application Notes now.
