Sync Treo 750 with Mac

Hello,
I just purchased a Treo 750, and I've attempted to sync it with my Mac iBook G4. The Palm CD had no information on it (at least that was readable by Mac), and so I connected the Treo to my Mac with the USB cable provided. However, the iSync does not detect the device (yes, I've downloaded the necessary updates, etc.).
Can the 750 sync with Mac? How would I do so? Is third party software the only way to go?
Thank you for your help!

This software claims to work with the Treo 750v... Does anyone know whether it works with the 750 as well?

This one seems to work with the 700, but doesn't list the 750:

Can anyone shed any more light on these or any other compatible packages?  Thanks in advance.

  • Syncing Treo 680 with Mac PIMs (using Missing Sync)

    Thanks to Michael Lafferty's excellent advice, I was ready to start syncing my Treo 680 with Mac's PIMs using Missing Sync. However, after extensive research and asking questions on five different forums, I'm getting conflicting advice. H
    Here's my Treo PIMs situation:
    Calendar 802K (6378 events/12 categories)
    Contacts 1285K (2306/13)
    Memos 184K (52/14)
    Tasks 79K (250/10)
    Here are the issues that I have received conflicting answers about:
    1. I have 9 custom fields on my Treo with a lot of information in them. These are critical fields to me. It took me many days to pull this info out of my Contacts notes and enter in these 9 custom fields for 2306 contacts. Is it true that I cannot sync these 9 customs fields with Mac's Address Book? I've been told many times that this won't happen. If it can be done, will changes that I make in data entries for these fields in the Mac Address Book sync properly and be reflected on my Treo.
    2. Can the conduits be set to "handheld overwrites Mac"? I've been told that it cannot. This and #1 are deal killers for me.
    3. I have seven phone fields on my Treo. They are in this exact order:
    work (1701 entries)
    home (209)
    Fax (291)
    email (201)
    mobile (201)
    pager (31)
    main (145)
    Will I be able to successfully sync these with Mac's Address Book? If not, is there any reason that I couldn't take whatever fields won't sync and move them to some of the Treo 9 custom fields? The last question is moot if custom fields are not supported.
    4. I average about 12 categories for each of my 4 PIMs. Do these all sync over correctly to the Mac PIMs?
    5. I also have Treo notes attached to many, if not most, of my Contacts, Calendar events and Tasks. Will these all sync properly with the Mac PIMs such that I can make changes on either side of the equation and have them reflected after syncing on the other side?
    6. Are there any other limitations in my ability to faithfully be able to recreate my 4 Treo 680 PIMs accurately and completely in the Mac PIMs?
    I realize that any reference to non-Address Book PIMs is off-target. I hope you'll excuse me dumping the other three PIMs into the mix. My primary concern is Treo Contacts/Mac Address Book.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Treo 680 (DateBk6)

    Q: I have 9 custom fields on my Treo with a lot of information in them…
    A: The Missing Sync does not synchronize custom Address Book fields between a Palm device and your Address Book application, but will not remove those fields from the Palm if the conduits are set to synchronize. If your conduit is set to the nonstandard Overwrite handheld with desktop data, the custom fields will be overwritten. I point this out because it is, at times, necessary to make a choice like this, and as a result: its bye-bye custom field data!
    The Missing Sync cannot perform custom field synchronization because the Sync Services framework does not allow The Missing Sync to create new fields in Address Book to match your Palm custom fields.
    Q: Can… conduits be set to handheld overwrites [desktop]?
    A: No, because again, the framework does not support this specific type of bidirectional data transfer.
    Q: I have seven phone fields on my Treo…
    A: This is an issue primarily with the manner in which a Palm device handles such information. Though they are displayed in a particular manner on your device, they are not necessarily stored in a specific order by the Palm contact application, and can only be retrieved when labeled with an expected or 'accepted' field label. This issue gets complicated quickly, but in short…
    • only the first seven phone numbers sent to your device by the framework are written to the device
    • the order is not something that can be controlled by a developer, and it is not necessarily the order displayed in either the Address Book contact record on your Palm device
    • the Palm contact application does not distinguish between phone number and electronic mail address, though Mark/Space parses the data to look for the @ character—and, finding it—handles it as an electronic mail address
    • only one of the several IM addresses you maintain in an Address Book contact record is transfered, and only one URL is transfered
    • Palm categories are mapped to equivalent Address Book groups
    As to synchronizing additional data to Palm custom fields, that's not supported. The place to put such data is in the Note: or Notes: field.
    Q: I average about 12 categories…
    A: As I suggested above, category and group equivalents are recognized and synchronized. Be sure that you name the ones you intend to synchronize identically in both environments.
    Q: I also have Treo notes attached…
    A: Again, these should synchronize bidirectionally, without issue.
    Q: Are there any other limitations in my ability to faithfully be able to recreate…
    A: Oh, yeah: because the data field labels and contents do not map 1:1, it is nearly impossible to create identical records in both environments. Look for the common abilities…
    • a maximum of seven telephone numbers and electronic mail addresses
    • a single IM identifier
    • a single URL
    …and work within those bounds. You can generally store and synchronize any additional identifiers in a Note: or Notes: record, but this is clearly less flexible and potentially more problematic than storing them in matching fields.
    You briefly mentioned the other PIMs on your Palm device, and their OS X rough equivalents. Those controlled by Mark/Space OS X bundled applications will not be an issue: memos, for example. Their are Palm OS quirks which result in inequalities. The most obvious of these is the iCal multiple day event which spans two or more days in iCal, but which is represented on a Palm as only a single day event, displayed on the first day alone.

  • Sync Treo 755p with Mac address book and ical

    I just bought a Treo 755p Verizon.  I loaded in the Palm software, but it does not sync with the mac address book.  I don't want to have to re-enter 600 contacts.  How can I get Palm and Mac address book to talk to each other?
    Post relates to: Treo 755p (Verizon)

    Well, I got some good news for you.  I just synced my Treo 755p with my Macbook Pro using both the palm sync and isync.  It synced both my iCal & Address book. It has to do with the conduit setting in the palm sync manager.  Here's what I did...try it and let me know.
    I downloaded the latest version of the Palm Desktop (although I do not use it)
    Then, at the top of the page of the Palm Desktop go to "HotSync" then to "Conduit Settings"
    Then highlight "iSync Conduit" by clicking on it and press the big square button at the top called "Conduit Settings"
    Then check the box :enable isync for this device"  Then click OK.
    This did it for me....It's syncing with my ical, addressbook, etc.
    Let me know if this helps!!!
    Thanks for yours!!

  • Sprite backup downloaded from Palm site won't run on my Treo 750 with Windows XP on laptop

    I have a Treo 750 with WMD 5.0 and Windows XP on my laptop.  I have a 2G mini storage card.  I downloaded the free Sprite software from Palm support and installed it on laptop and the storage card.  When I run the set-up wizard on the PC, I get an error on the mobile device stating the program does not run with my device.  I have carefully checked to make sure I downloaded the program for the Treo 750 and have verified the installation - it just doesn't work.
    Do I have to get the new software ($29.95) from Sprite?  Any ideas why I can't use the free software from Palm site?
    Has anyone had better success with the new version?

    A.  PROBLEM: Each time I try to use this reputable program (version 5.2 (7534.52.7), I encountered the following problem:
    Program (1) loads instantly, (2) presents the browser space, (3) agrees to open new tabs, (4) but when I try to direct it to ANY URL at all, the hour-glass appears, but the wait is fruitness.  I cannot reach any site at all.
    I've tried to access the program, both as "administrator" and regular "user."  No joy.
    All I ever get showing is the interesting interface (and an hour-glass on an URL-call) and nothing else.
    Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:

    (Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

  • Pairing Treo 750 with Toyota

    Anyone successful pairing the Treo 750 with a 2008 Toyota? I was unable even after contacting Palm support (no help except telling me about the Palm web info). I have read of an occassional partial success but I am unable to duplicate. I have upgradeed to the new Windows 6.0 hoping that would help for AT&T but still no pairing. Although Palm support says it should be compatible on Toyotas equipped with the Denso 5, Toyota support said that they do not consider the Treo devices compatible with their Bluetooth car kit as it performs inconsistently at best. Any ideas??? Or do I have a $400 paper weight, a new car,  and a different phone from another manufacture from now on?

    Pairing FIX for all Toyota Bluetooths with Nav System
    The phone would finish pairing with the Toyota and was happy but theCar still said "CONNECTING".
    I figured out that placing a call from the phone would actually force the connection and complete the pairing.  
    Amazing that this was only discovered after Palm sent me 2 new Palms and Toyota gave me a new Nav...and still no FIX.Found the answer in this forum...How does Palm Tech Support not know this simple resolution ?????

  • Problem with syncing Treo 750

    I just got an AT&T Treo 750 and am trying to set it up for syncing with my disktop computer running Windows XP Pro, SP3.
    First, I am not an Outlook user, but figured out that I had to install that software to use ActiveSync. Second, I am not planning on using my 750 for email, and am only interested in syncing my Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks. It appeared that I did have to set up the 750 for email to get thngs started with ActiveSync, so I did that, too. Now when I attempt to sync I get this MS message:
    Cannot syncronize with the Outlook profile you are using, because a different profile was previously set up or the profile is password-protected. Please open Outlook using the appropriate profile. Support Code: 8503001f
    What do I need to do to get the 750 and my computer to sync?
    Second question: Is there any other syncing software I can use other than Outlook?
    Thanks - John

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Sorry I didn't respond sooner. If the data is gone from your 750 and was never in outlook there is nothing I can do . But if you have your old device and are using Palm Desktop 4.1.4e we can get the data back to outlook so you can sync your data back to the 750.
    Post back if you do not have Palm Desktop 4.1.4e
    If you do great. All you need to do is go to Start-->Programs/All Programs-->Palm/Palmone-->PIM Conduit Sync--> Sync with Outlook. If it says you are already to sync with Outlook then good if not let it do its thing. After this what you need to do next is right click on the Hotsync Manager go to custom then click on Calendar and select change then select handheld overwrites desktop. Do the same for contacts, tasks, and memos.
    Post back if you have more questions.

  • Sync Windows Mobile Treo 750 with Vista 64 bit, FINALLY DID IT!

    I have just spent 3 hours trying to set up sync between my Treo 750 and my new Vista 64-bit computer.  Here's what I learned:
    You have to download the Windows Mobile Device Center and its update (that's why some people felt they were downloading twice).  Even after the second download, it still didn't work, so I was told to uninstall both, then I was directed to the following link, where it only had to download once -- http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
    Once I did that, I kept getting an error message that my device was not recognized, and the mobile device center
    said the device was not connected (and the proposed solution on the computer was to replace the device).  I tried the things that others have mentioned on this forum, but it still did not work.  After talking with AT&T, they suggested I do a soft reset on the phone.  That is what finally worked for me EXCEPT that each time my phone "timed out" (the display went blank), it would say it was not connected again.  I finally kept touching the screen so the display would not go blank.  Another option is to change the amount of time it will stay on before timing out, which I may do if this continues to be a problem when I sync in the future.
    I hope this information helps someone else along the way.  It has been quite a frustrating process, as are many other things when transitioning to a new computer.

    Whenever I have established an ActiveSync connection via Bluetooth with my internet connected laptop, I simply Un-Select the "Force AT&T Proxy" and any program (IE, Google Maps, email Send & Recieve, etc.) use the ActiveSynce Passthough.

    Hi..  Welcome to the Palm forums.   Your 750 is a windows mobile device that on winXP users active sync and on vista uses windows mobile device center to sync.  It only syncs to Outlook, will not sync to outlook express.  Therefore it sounds like you do not have outlook on the computer.  To be able to sync you will need to purchase and install outlook 2003 or above.

  • Sync Nokia 8800 with Mac OsX

    Hi.
    Does anyone know how to sync a Nokia 8800 with Mac OsX, in order to get all contacts over to an iPhone.
    Is there a free software out there (whyever Nokia doesn´t provide one).
    Thx,
    Mike
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Nokia used to produce Mac versions of the PC Suite software back in the long-gone days of the early Communicator series, but Apple applied pressure for that to stop, because they wanted all Apple users to sync with their own iSync software.
    Regretably, Apple is not great at ensuring compatibility with all phones from all manufacturers. For more information, go to http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/product-support/isync/compatibility-and-download - you will see that the original Nokia 8800 is compatible with iSync but that subsequent versions like 880 Sirocco, 8800 Arte etc. are not yet covered. 
    iSync itself is made by Apple, and the Nokia site will link to Apple to download it. Nokia does provide some plugins to make some common models work, but I don't think that later 8800 versions are included. It is possible to search for third-party plgins that may solve the issue if your 8800 is not the original model.

  • Help: Syncing Curve 8330 with Mac OS 10.4!

    Hi... I posted something months ago, but never got an answer -- and REALLY need to fix this!
    Got Curve 8330s for my mother and myself in 08/2009 -- I have a PC, she has a Mac with OS 10.4 (Tiger).  She has NEVER been able to sync her BB with her Mac.  Pocket Mac didn't work, so she never got her contacts from her Yahoo account into her Curve, then DTM (finally) came out -- but since she doesn't have the right OS, we can't install that.
    So...
    1)  Can we do anything, short of spending another $500 to upgrade her OS to Snow Leopard?  (Oh yeah, she'd need to get more RAM at the same time to make that work... this just keeps getting better.)
    2)  Is DTM for Macs still wiping everyone's BlackBerrys?  Has this been fixed?  Or is this all a big waste of time?
    Needless to say, we're both quite unhappy to have spent so much time and effort on this (I'm her de facto IT person), especially after purchasing the devices and contracts so recently.  And I'm having my own issues over on the PC side. 
    We don't WANT iPhones.  We LIKE Verizon, and love having each having a BB -- but as others have said, it would be nice to make them actually talk to our computers... and we can't shell out any more money at all right now.
    Thanks in advance for your help!  And how do we actually get RIM to do anything about this issue?

    How did you come up with $500?  Is your friend on an intel mac?  If it is intel mac, the upgrade to SL is about $30.  The cost of ram is <$100.
