Palm Sync via Missing Sync

I have been using Missing Sync (version 5.1) to sync my Palm calendar with the Palm Desktop (version 4.2.1). I have started exporting Palm calendar via vCal file and importing into iCal 2.x. I have recently experienced trouble with one day or multi day events (without any time restraints).
In Palm Desktop the event is fine. In the imported iCal the one day event carries over to two days with the first day being the day before the event.
This is causing me to have to go through the iCal and adjust each of the one day and multi day event.
I have tried using Missing Sync's iCal conduits but not everything transfers.
Any suggestions please?

CFL,
I don't know if you are still monitoring this, but when I had this problem last week, I concluded it was the result of how iCal handled HoliDates, the application I use for holidays, and also how it interprets multiday events differently from the Palm Desktop.
What I had to do was go through the iCal events, deleting ALL the oddities from the import, and replacing them with corrected versions in the iCal calendar. Because of this, I chose to do a hard reset of my Tungsten T3, and told Missing Sync to overwrite the handheld using the Mark/Space conduits. The other conduits are all set to "Do Nothing."
For this effort to make sense, you have to want to use iCal, Address Book, and Mark/Space MemoPad as your desktop PIM, and discontinue use of Palm Desktop. Tough decision, I know, because while old, the Palm Desktop is a very nicely integrated app.
Hope this helps if you are still trying to deal with the issue!

  • Address Book images not syncing via .Mac sync

    i recently decided to get serious about attaching images to my contacts in address book. the images sync perfectly with the iphone, but they dont sync at all between the other copies of address book on the various macs in my home. the addresses (text) sync just fine -- but not the images.
    what am i missing, here?

    I had the same problem. My Mac's address book (including images) were synced via Missing Sync from my Windows Mobile phone. None of the images transferred to the iPhone. I then went into each Address Book entry and manually resized the image (edit, dc on the image and drag the slider to resize the image) and then resynced. Now all is perfect!
    One side note- if you assign a contact image on the Mac or PC and sync to the phone, the image is shown in a small thumbnail on the top line of the phone when that person calls, etc... If instead you assign a photo on the iPhone itself using the "select current photo" option, then the photo is shown full screen instead of thumbnail! I copied all of my "CallerID" photos to an iPhoto photo album, synced that album to the phone, then manually assigned a photo to a contact on the phone and now they are full screen. Very cool!

  • Mac 1 dotMac Mac 2 Treo 650 (via Missing Sync) Mac 1

    Is anybody syncing Address Book & iCal successfully between:
    Mac 1 dotMac Mac 2 Treo 650 (via Missing Sync) Mac 1
    I need reliable syncing in all directions for a number of users.
    Thanks,

    PS. Apologies for x-posting

    I am going to assume for a moment that you actually mean…
    Mac 1 .Mac Mac 2 and
    Mac 1 Treo 650 via the Missing Sync for Palm OS
    If you meant instead that your Treo serves as a means of synchronizing data on both Macintosh machines, you are headed for a data disaster. A Palm device should not be used as an intermediate 'storage' device to synchronize a pair of Macintosh computers.
    The weakest link is .Mac, frankly, for a number of reasons, including availability and reliability. You might want to consider using MySync instead, which was just acquired from MildMannered Industries by Mark/Space. More information about that application is available here:
    http://www.mildmanneredindustries.com/mysync
    Bonus: future compatibility is virtually guaranteed between The Missing Sync for Palm OS and MySync by this acquisition.
    I do precisely what I outlined above—using .Mac Sync, but with a USB-attached Treo 600—with no issues whatsoever.

  • Ical - deleted events prevent from syncing with missing sync

    When I try to sync ical with my windows mobile 5.0 running Motorola Q via Missing Sync, I always encounter an error message that one of my ical-events prevents Missing Sync from an error-free sync.
    This message comes up when I start Missing Sync: "iCal is reporting synchronization errors. One or more calendar events may not have synchronized properly from iCal. Errors may prevent this application from completing a successful synchronization."
    The Missing Sync Protocoll rerfers to an event which I did already delete. So here's the question: how do I really get rid of a ical event which I have already deleted?

    Same here. After the update to 10.5 I have succesfully done one sync between my Treo and iCal using MissingSync. Now iCal gives an error, see below. What is the workaround? Downgrading to 10.4.x? Or get an iCal 2 somewhere and run that?
    I really want to get my ToDo and Calendar data from my Treo before I go from my Treo 650 to an iPhone. Any workaround is welcome.

  • WOES: iSync, Palm Pilot, iCal, Missing Sync, Palm Desktop, Ericsson Phone

    Here's my situation, I've been a long time Palm user, and fairly recently (within a year) a new Mac user. I've always used the Palm Desktop on my PC in the past. I've had a Palm Vx for years, and fairly recently (within a year) I bought a Palm Zire 72 and a Sony Ericsson S170a cell phone. I also have an iPod Photo.
    I really would like to sync up my address book, calendars, memos, maybe even photos, with all my devices. I tried using iSync, but nothing seam to work right, so I tried a million things, now everything is messed up.
    For right now, I'm just trying to get my Palm Pilot, the Mac, and the Phone to have all the same calendar events (w the correect times, alarms, colors, and groups).
    I'm really frustrated with trying to get the mac's iCal, the palm pilot, the phone to all have the same calendar info. I really like iCal, and the mac address book, and how well it works with the mail app. As well as subscribing to shared iCals. Especially the holiday ones! I use to have to enter all that info by hand, and have them "other" repeater. The Palm Desktop software's calendar and address book is pretty clunky compared to the Mac apps, or even the Palm Desktop for the PC. But everything is messed up now. I even tried the "missing sync" software and it messed it up even worse.
    Several of my cal events are now GONE from iCal, my Palm Pilot, and my Phone! Many of them have duplicates, some have wrong times. Some have right groups, some don't. The ones that do have right groups, don't have any colors applied to them. If I create certain calendars on the mac and sync with the palm, the groups do not come over. If I create them on the Palm, the groups don't come over on the mac. Getting the colors/groups to match, and all 3 items to sync all at once is a nightmare as well. There were a million conflicts, and chose the correct ones, but some of them would NOT let me pick the one I wanted, it would just keep on saying "conflict".
    What would AT LEAST get me back to the original info on the Palm and the Mac would be to restore from my Palm Desktop software, but I can't get to that because it looks like the missing sync software has messed the conduit/hot sync manager up. I can no longer get to my Palm Desktop condiut settings. I'd re-install the palm software to get it back, but I will probably loose all the data stored in Palm Desktop. This is the ONLY place that has the correct info right now. I'm varry warry about loosing that information. I use to have the PC copy, and the Palm Copy, and it was all right. The Palm Desktop has an import/export feature, but it doesn't seam to carry all the info (like notes attatched to cal events).
    Also, has anyone tried to RESTORE a Palm Pilot not using the Palm Desktop software? When I had to reset my Palm, I tried using iSync or even missing sync to get all my apps, settings, calendars, address books, everything, but it never put the info back on the Palm. This info was always restored with Palm Desktop.
    And let's just say I DO get back all my calendar items back into the Palm, and the Palm Desktop software up and running correctly. What is the proper way to do what I was trying to do in the begining? Which was "just have my Palm Pilot, the Mac, and the Phone to have all the same calendar events (w the right times, alarms, colors, and groups)." I don't seam to have too many problems with contacts. Except work/home fields seam to swap all the time.
    What I'm running:
    G4 PowerMac w/ Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.3)
    Palm Pilot Zire 72s (Palm Software v5.2.8)
    Missing Sync (v5.0.3)
    Palm Desktop Mac (v4.2.1)
    Sony Ericsson S170a Cell Phone
    iPod Photo 60GB
    G4 PowerMac   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   Palm Pilot Zire 72s (Palm Software v5.2.8), Missing Sync (v5.0.3), Palm Desktop Mac (v4.2.1), Sony

    Where to start? Maybe with some background about the synchronization process.
    What Apple hasn't explained outside of the developer community is that you are not actually synchronizing applications [like iCal or the Address Book] or servers [like .Mac] or devices [like your mobile handset or a Palm organizer] when you initiate a synchronization. What you are really doing is triggering an interaction with one or more of these and the SyncServices engine, which maintains what is termed the 'truth database'—or simply, the 'truth'—to which is pushed, or from which is pulled, the current state of data maintained in fields and records for one or more specific data types. Because of the way this process works, it is not necessary to have all synchronized devices available or attached when a synchronization event occurs.
    You can synchronize your SONY Ericsson S710a, a process which exchanges the most current data maintained in the truth with it, and hours later, plug in your iPod, an action which will trigger iTunes to pull the latest data from the truth and write it to the iPod, updating your contact and calendaring records. The same is true for other applications, servers and devices.
    While it all seems clumsy and confusing, it is actually a huge step forward in making synchronization nearly automatic, almost transparent, and virtually mistake proof. It's clear that there is some distance to go before those objectives are achieved, but SyncServices is actually a huge improvement over the prior synchronization technology in iSync 1.5 and earlier.
    That said, there are bugs in SyncServices, and in the applications written by several developers to take advantage of it, along with issues in at least iCal, and probably the Address Book, that complicate what you are trying to achieve. It's possible to do, and once working, should work nearly flawlessly. But, it takes some planning to get there.
    First, a word about backing up your data. It's a good idea to periodically back up contact and calendaring records using the facilities built into iCal and the Address Book which appear in the File menu of each application. These options make easily restorable local snapshots of your data. Should something go terribly wrong with a synchronization event, you can immediately restore your iCal or Address Book data from these files. In addition, it's a good idea to have a more comprehensive backup plan in place, using Backup and .Mac, Backup and rewritable media, and so on.
    To synchronize photos, music and other media files, you'll need to use the Missing Sync for Palm OS. iSync just does not support anything beyond contact, calendaring and task data. To begin the process, you should simplify your device pool, initially concentrating only on getting a complete, accurate set of contact, event and task records pushed to the truth from the Address Book and iCal, and onto your Palm.
    You will have to take an inventory of where the best records reside, and insure that you get them into iCal and the Address Book before attempting to synchronize your Palm, because to do it properly, initially, you will have to overwrite the data on your Palm, replacing it with records from iCal and the Address Book. If you're going to edit them by making additions, changes and deletions, perform all of those in iCal and the Address Book until you have synchronized your Palm device or devices with them. Backup before performing the initial synchronization, and be sure to overwrite each Palm device the first time.
    If you want a historic snapshot of the data on either Palm device before doing this, first follow the instructions provided by Mark/Space to use the standard Palm conduits instead of Mark/Space Contacts, Events and Tasks, and be sure to set each Palm conduit to Palm overwrites handheld in order to transfer the data from your Palm Vx and Zire 72 to the Palm Desktop. Once there, those records can be exported as vCard and vCal files, and easily imported into the Address Book and iCal if you wish to do that. Edit them as you see fit, once they have been transfered. If you elect to do that, you must thereafter turn off these Palm conduits and reconfigure the Missing Sync to use the Mark/Space conduits, again choosing to have your computer replace the contents on each Palm device on the first synchronization.
    Once you've achieved a 'balance' with the records in iCal, the Address Book and your handheld organizers, you can reset the records on your mobile handset. iSync alone performs this function, and later synchronization events with your SONY Ericsson S710a will always be manually triggered, and performed using iSync, not the Missing Sync. Reset once, and subsequently synchronize.
    Anything else you want to add to the mix—.Mac Sync, for example—you can then add, initially performing a reset of your .Mac data, then subsequently synchronizing.
    Synchronization of your iPod is handled by iTunes and only pulls data from the truth, so it need not be reset, as it cannot write changes to the truth which would adversely affect your other devices.

  • Daylight Savings Time issue with Palm Treo 755p/Missing Sync 6.0.6

    I'm not sure where the fault is, but here's what a user sees here:
    User has a Palm Treo 755p with the 1.08 software installed.
    Since DST on March 14th, when he syncs the iCal information to the phone using Missing Sync 6.0.6, the information on the phone is pushed ahead one hour.
    But the odd thing about it is how it shows on the phone.
    User created a repeating event from March 12-20 from 9-10 a.m. called "test 9" for an example of this.
    On March 12 and 13, this shows as "test 9" -- at 9:00 on the Treo
    From the 14th on, it shows as: "test 9 (9 am EST)" -- but it is entered at *10:00* a.m.
    What I don't know is if this is a Missing Sync issue or a Palm OS issue.
    User's computer is running 10.6.2 -- and both computer and Palm are in the Eastern time zone.
    I'm open for suggestions here -- is this a *Palm* issue? Or something else?
    Thanks!

    We "fixed" this by noticing that -- for whatever reason -- Detroit (we're in Ann Arbor, actually) shows as "Eastern Standard Time" where it seems that every other major city in the time zone (Columbus, Indianapolis, New York, Miami, Philadelphia, etc...) shows as "Eastern Time".
    So we set up iCal on this computer to use New York ("Eastern Time") and all the events added to iCal after that synced properly.
    I tried to add "Detroit" to the Palm, but had no luck in syncing with that.  I think the "Eastern Time" thing is key.   I have a Bug Report into Apple about the fact that the time zone seems wrong for us.
    That said, while I could  change pre-existing events from "Eastern Standard Time" to "Eastern Time" in iCal, those events did *NOT* sync to the Palm correctly.
    The user had to delete/readd the events in the right "time zone" to get them to sync correctly.
    I'd be curious to know if this solution (?) works for you as well.

  • Connection problems w/HTC Mogul PPC phone via Missing Sync & Bluetooth

    Can anyone help me connect my HTC Mogul phone to my Mac with Missing Sync using bluetooth? It syncs great using USB, but will not work with bluetooth. Is this an issue with the Mac, the bluetooth profile, or the phone? Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi-Tech Computer devices use a different Bluetooth connection mechanism than devices manufactured by other ODMs.
    Although I cannot find the specific note regarding HTC devices at the moment, here is a general note regarding Bluetooth troubleshooting, provided by Mark/Space. It includes a support link to follow if you cannot connect using the steps outlined in the note.

  • 1127 Sync Conflcts (Missing Sync)

    I've followed some folks' suggestions and installed Missing Sync. I'm using a PDA (Tungsten E2), along with my MacBook (Intel) with Tiger 10.4.6, along with a PowerBook (also on Tiger 10.4.6).
    I'm pretty good at following instructions, and I thought I had done everything that Missing Sync suggested. It took me a while to get to the "clean iSync" as there were some corrupted files. But I finally got there. And then I did the "Missing Sync" sync.
    At first, I had a hundred or so sync conflicts. I thought I resolved them (some of them were 3-way: iCal, MarkSpace/Events, and "deleted"). So I synced again. And then then there were more. Rinse, repeat. And now I have 1127 sync conflicts.
    As far as I can tell, my iCal (on my MacBook) is just fine. And it looks as thought my PDA is fine. So, how do I clear up this problem?
    Thanks (and, btw, I'm cross-posting this to a Missing Sync discussion list, as it's unclear whose problem this is—other than mine, of course).

  • Spanning Sync or Missing Sync?

    Hello,
    I am syncing my google account, HTC Hero Android phone, three Macs, and an iPod Classic. I use iSync (which is splendid) to sync the Apple part and Spanning Sync to reach google. Spanning Sync is possibly the worst software that I have ever used. It randomly creates duplicates. If I delete the wrong duplicate then the event is removed from my google calendar and phone. I think it has not resolved google push technology with iSync's polling technology, because Spanning Sync conflicts arise the moment I create a calendar event. (I am not sure if these duplicates appear if I create the event using a different computer, because I do not see myself as an alpha-tester.)
    Anyway, I was wondering if Missing Sync was any better. Any comments appreciated!
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Hi Mark. Try out Syncmate http://mac.eltima.com/sync-mac.html - it will sync your Google and Mac for free (contact and calendar) so you can test it without any risk - it is free:)
    they also have how to's for Android and Google sync
    Google http://mac.eltima.com/syncmacgoogle.html
    Android http://mac.eltima.com/syncmacandroid.html
    Though they cannot sync mac and iPod, Google sync and Android sync is offered.

  • Certain items not syncing via wifi sync

    wifi sync is working great for my idevices both automatic and manual. However, I occasionally get this message after a sync "20 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more info." It's always the same number but the message is intermittent with syncs even though I haven't changed much with what I'm syncing. And I can't figure out manually by looking through my iPhone contents whats missing.
    Where on iTunes is the diagnostic log to figure out what isn't sycing?

    So what exact configurations do you have enabled from under the Summary, Music, and Movies tab?  You have the Sync all checked songs and videos option ticked?  What about the Music tab?  Is set it set to sync Entire Library?  If so, make sure the sync all checked songs and videos option is not ticked from under the Summary tab and then resync your iPod.
    You aren't getting any error messages while syncing your iPod are you?

  • Alerts not syncing via active sync exchange server

    I know others have posted about similar issues, but I have yet to see any solutions. The issue is that for any appointments I create in iCal, the Alerts do not sync to CalDAV calendar I have on my work's server. The appointments sync fine, but not the alerts. Will there be any upcoming software fix for this?

    ****.... return button..
    My iTouch has all the right settings from my IT department who uses a Exchange 2003 server.
    User name, password, server is right - at least we think it's right.
    Once I try to get Mail on my iTouch, it comes up with a "Cannot Get Mail - the connection to the server failed' error.
    I'm actually trying to sync my Entourage Calendar mostly. All setting are right under the preferences in Entourage for syncing. And my iCal on my computer creates a mirror image of my Entourage calendar.
    I can sync up the Calendar through iTunes, but don't really want to do this. Would rather have this happen WiFi.
    Is there anything I'm missing?
    I've reset my setting on my iTouch too. Done all that...read all the discussions, articles...
    The only level that it stops me at is getting mail. The odd thing was yesterday it sent a couple of test emails I created last week. ODD!
    Trying to get at least 75% of the capability out of this great technology.

  • Can RSS feeds be synced via Firefox Sync? Currently I can see my RSS links but the feeds appear to be all empty.

    I set up Firefox sync on my phone and a few desktops. I have several RSS feeds included which sync perfectly on the desktop version of Firefox, but on my phone the feeds don't load (even though I can see the containing link).
    otherwise, Firefox Mobile is great - I like it enough that I switched to Android from an iPhone!

    Hi,
    Thanks for using Firefox for Android! I have heard of an issue with live bookmarks that sounds similar to the one you are having. The forum thread about that is over here: https://support.mozilla.org/el/questions/930847 Maybe it is helpful to you? Let me know if the problem you are having is different and I'll get a separate bug filed or ask the engineering / quality team to investigate it.

  • ISync Failure working with Missing Sync and Palm Lifedrive

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

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

  • Ical, Missing Sync and Palm Treo 680

    Most of 2007 was spent trying to get my Palm Lifedrive to Sync with iCal using Missing Sync version 5 thru 6. One day it was fine six days it was not. Nothing I have found to be more infuriating and frustrating as trying to sync my Palm with my Computer.
    So, with the arrival of Leopard and the much promised improvements to Sync Services I decided to perform a Clean Install of Leopard on my Powerbook, and run just a few apps on my Powerbook leaving the rest on my new Mini Mac. At the same time I decided to upgrade my Palm Lifedrive to a Palm Treo 680. So, New OS, New Palm, Leopard ready Missing Sync.
    1st Sync was spot on. All my data downloaded from .Mac for iCal and AB, sync'ed wonderfully with my Palm Treo. That was on January 7th. Since then iCal absolutely refuses to refresh. And already I am beginning to feel that 2008 and Syncing will be as frustrating as 2007.
    Why cannot MarkSpace sit down with Apple and iron out all the crap. For the last couple of days I though I would see if iCal was not communicating with SyncServices by using Entourage. But this only synced with AB and did not touch iCal. To do this I had to use iSync and during the first sync only 144 of 1456 addresses were left on my Palm! iCal - no change!!
    So I dumped iSync/Entourage and went back to Missing Sync own Conduits. I got my AB entries back but absolutely nothing from iCal
    When I wiped my Powerbook, I cloned the hardrive. Whilst routing around, I found a folder called FileServices in ~libray. This folder was over 12gig in size. What is this folder for and why was it so big? This could explain why my Backup Sets were getting increasing larger than my actual Hardrive even though I was peforming just a daily incremental backup!
    Back to iCal. Is there any reason why iCal will not refresh after a so called successful sync with my Treo 680 via Missing Sync v6.0.2?

    You might have better luck getting support at Mark/Space the makers of the program. http://support.markspace.com
    I did briefly look around there and found this article, not sure if its related to your issue or not.
