Sync TX 5.4.9 with Mac

TX 5.4.9 wont sync with Mac Snow Leopard. I installed Mark Space software 'Missing Sync for Palm OS' but it assumes the Mac should override the Palm -I work the other way round. Should I uninstall Mark Space and Snow Leopard and install Leopard and my lovely old Palm desktop manager?

Hello gemstone and welcome to the Palm forums.
It looks like you are correct, The Missing Sync won't allow you to set their implementation of the conduit manager to allow the PDA to overwrite data on the Mac; according to part of this HotSync troubleshooter I was reading. It states:
"When you look at the Sync History log and see that there are no errors in the log, but find that the records did not sync as you expected, there are a number of possible reasons.
1. Conduit configuration. Go to Missing Sync, double click on the conduit:
- See if it is configured to 'Synchronize' or 'Overwrite handheld with desktop data'.
- See if it is set to sync all calendars/groups/categories or selected calendars/groups/categories (depending on what plugin youâ€™re looking at.)
- With the Mark/Space Events Â and Mark/Space Tasks Â conduits see what calendar is used for the option "Put items from 'read-only' calendars into". Change it if necessary.
- With Mark/Space Events check the setting for "Ignore desktop events older than:"
- With Mark/Space Tasks check the setting for "Ignore desktop tasks older than:"
- With Mark/Space Notes conduit verify which application it is configured to sync with: Mark/Space Notebook, Microsoft Entourage, and Yojimbo (1.3+)"
Without contacting Mark/Space, you may need to uninstall the Missing Sync and reinstall Palm Desktop 4.2.1 Rev D for Mac OS X.

Can I sync my Apple Bluetooth keyboard with Mac G5 , iPhone5 and Apple TV at the same time ?

Thank's for the help, my only choice is to buy 2 more keyboards .
Too bad that there is no memory to recall different channels of Bluetooth.

Syncing calendars from iPhone5s and iPad. Syncing calendars from iPhone 4 with mac

Can I sync my calendar from my iPhone 5 with my iPad? If so, how?
Also, can I sync calendars from my iPhone 4 with my mac? If so, how?

Hi hpd0203,
There are a number of different ways of syncing calendars between your Apple devices. One of the easiest ways is to use iCloud. See this article for an introduction -

my imac is about 4 1/2 years old.
What should I do. The sales lit says nothing about compatability.

From Apple's site:
System Requirements
Apple ID (required for some features)
Internet access6
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
Download iTunes at www.itunes.com/download
Same as printed on the box the iPad came in.

Cheers.
Downloaded VPN Shield from the App Store and 7 days licence. This sorted the cap issue. I have raised the cap question with my internal IT team and the IT Director is on the case, as a corporate we do not use BT and we do not impose a cap...
Thank you. The download and install process took less than 1.5 hours, splendid.

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.

SyncMate vs. FoneLink for syncing Nokia E50 notes with Mac Mail

Hello,
After some searching, it appears that there are two programs that would sync my Nokia E50 notes with Mac Mail on my MacBook Pro - SyncMate and FoneLink. Both are priced at about $50 - a bit spendy. Has anybody use / compared the two? Are there other options?
Thanks,

Need help Please. Which play nice with macs? Palm Treo's Or Tmobile MDA?

Hi all, I post on here from time to time, but hardly anyone ever answers my questions. Here's my dilema. I bought a Tmobile MDA over the weekend that runs microsoft windows mobile 5.0. And while playing with it have noticed some things about it that i think are'nt that good. For example, I like the fact that its a windows os, but think that it's flawed. I have done quite a bit of research but don't think that it's active sync software is even compatible with mac osx. so have'nt even tried to mess with it. now i'm still in the 14 day window and am thinking about returning it. but here's the thing....
I know that tmobile has EDGE, and it's considerably slower than verizon or sprints EVDO. (since i've researched it i know that edge is around the 70-170KBPS range when EVDO has 300-700KBPS) And tonight i was messing with this tmobile MDA and finally got it to work to connect to the net with it using bluetooth and it's "modem" ability to connect it to the web. But it S U C K S! i went to and did a bandwith test and i was only getting like 12.1-27.1kbps download (after running 2 tests) dude, it feels slower than dialup!
so with that bullet against it, comes the compatible part. I can't sycn this thing with my mac for NOTHING! do any of you out there have a palm treo? (either verizon, sprint, or att.... carrier X?) How does it sync with your mac? is it hard? any extra software i need to get/buy? have any of you used it to connect to the net? and if so, how's the speed? And here's an even bettter question... How long did it take to config it to work using the phone as a modem? Did you use bluetooth? or serial link? was it easy to config? Where did you find the instructions?
I know these are a lot of questions, but this is a large investment for me. I mean this thing ain't cheap and it does'nt really play nice. I don't mind paying a little extra, for some peace of mind, and knowing that it won't crash often and will work with my mac. Anyone out there got any other suggestions? I would really appreciate it. I would like your opinion on which one is the easiest to use that plays nice with a mac, and has a interface that's almost as nice. Thank you so much for your time. I will be following this post closely and comment you all back for your replys
Mac Book Pro 1.83 GHZ 512 Ram Mac OS X (10.4.5)

It really is a toss up cause Ive owned two Treo's and Ive read extensive reviews on Windows mobile devices and it seems to me like they're pretty similar in the way of hardware and software(minus the fact of using different operating systems). So I think the determining factor really ought to be more focused on how much you're willing to pay, and the level of support you get for each device. I recently got rid of my Treo 650 due to an interesting touchscreen problem and got a windows mobile device(should come tomorrow)
in the way of syncing with a mac:
The Treo is extremely simple to set up and use with a Mac(keep in mind Im not talking about the 700w/wx)in every aspect. Palm provides OSx compatible software(though its almost impossible to get rid of after installation). However, in my experience, Palm does not really do a good job in the customer service department. While they have a rather extensive support page for each device(some of the info is outdated), that's pretty much all you get unless you don't mind spending hrs scouring various forums. Talking to customer service is a joke. Like I said I had a problem with the touchscreen and the best the rep could give me was "try a hard reset" and "send it in for repair".
I have yet to experience what windows mobile will be like. At the very least with syncing, theres syncing software made by people who had OSx in mind(ie: Missing Sync or Pocketmac) who will probably be able to help out a lot more in this area and possible also be able to help out with the other issues you mentioned.
a good place to check out would be howardforums.com, you'll probably get better answers there.

How can I STOP mail from syncing with .mac????

I don't have a .mac account, I will never have a .mac account, I have in mail prefs BOTH boxes under "synchronize with other computers using .mac" unchecked, and yet Mac Mail tries to tie up my entire system "synchronizing with .mac" all the time, especially when traffic is heavy (downloading or uploading). I've got activity viewer on and the stop sign is ghosted, there appears to be no way to stop Mail from doing this useless tie up time wasting process that manages to completely freeze up mail until it's completed and sometimes slow up other programs as well. I only have POP accounts, no IMAP accounts that have to be synced.
This didn't start happening until I upgraded to 10.4.11. Prior to that Mail blazed through everything, and it NEVER tried to sync with .mac.
Is there any way to turn this useless "feature" (for me) OFF?
Thanks!

/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.DotMacSync.<ethernet MAC address>.plist

are both other good choices to drag to the desktop.

Help me sync all my iPhone's tabs with Mac - beginning to despair!

Hi,
iPhone 4S 16GB, White, iOS 6.0.1; Mac Pro 2010, Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Supplemental Update 1.0; iTunes 10.7 (I am NOT upgrading to iTunes 11).
I can't get all the aspects of my iPhone to sync with my Mac Pro without receiving the dreaded, "Do you want to erase this iPhone…" dialogue. At the moment, the iPhone currently syncs Apps, Podcasts, iTunes U and Photos with the Mac Pro in question. I'm trying to get it to also sync Tones, Music, Films, TV Programmes and Books.
This is such a convoluted process that I'm not sure where precisely to begin. I'll start with my last Restore From Backup, which was for the purposes of restoring this replacement iPhone with the contents of the pre-replacement's backup.
1) Attached iPhone to my Mac Pro via USB
2) Right-clicked iPhone in iTunes Sidebar, chose "Restore from Backup…" and selected the previous iPhone's last backup
3) After the Restore was complete, I immediately went to the Apps tab and checked, "Sync Tabs". This is crucial in order to restore the third-party apps that were on the phone when it was Backed Up so that they will be associated with their data.
4) During this process, I also checked all the rest of the tabs, but only Podcasts, iTunes U and Photos synced successfully. All the others (Tones, Music, Films, TV Programmes and Books) came up with an error message. Which one, I'm not sure, but probably the one that declares these tabs to be synced with another computer, and asks, "Do you want to erase this iPhone…". I'm confident it was, actually, because I recall thinking how daft it was that, right after a Restore from Backup, it was telling me that the iPhone was synced with another Mac. Madness…
After steps (1) through (4), my phone was back to its pre-replacement state (more or less, but let's not go there). Because there was still media I required to add to the phone, I unplugged the iPhone from the Mac Pro, and attached it to the Mac mini. When I attempted—purely as a troubleshooting measure—to sync the Tones, Music, Films, TV Programmes and Books from the Mac mini, I received the following messages after ticking each checkbox, respectively:
With each dialogue box I clicked Cancel, because there was no content available to sync anyway.
So, neither of the two Macs that I own will sync Tones, Music, Films, TV Programmes or Books with this iPhone without erasing existing content. Why? Having seen this, I went back to my Mac Pro with the iPhone, and attempted to sync Tones again. It asked:
That gave me hope, because it wasn't claiming to be about to delete "all existing songs, films and TV programmes" as it did on the Mac mini: just Tones. So, I hit "Apply". The result?
Not only that, but the Capacity guage at the bottom of the window indicated that I was about to lose 1.74GB of Audio data, despite the fact that the only tone on the iPhone amounted to less than 1MB in size.
Apple has created the most sadistic syncing system I've ever encountered, and the one most eager to delete a user's data.
Can someone please tell me how to make my iPhone sync the remaining unsynced tabs with the Mac Pro? This is the Mac that contains all my media, so the Mac mini is pointless even if it did work.
Caveats:
• Please, only offer genuinely tested solutions and not conjecture.
• Please, don't request I make any arbitrary changes that may lead to data loss, at least without good reasoning.
• Please, don't ask me to get in touch with iTunes Technical Support—down that avenue lies more incompetence than I can bear.
• AppleCare Telephone Support for my iPhone has expired, so please don't suggest I get in touch with them either.
Thanks

Is there a way to have MSOffice-Mac on my MacBook Air sync wirelessly (and non-manually) with iWork on my iPhone without a third-party app?

I purchased a MacBook Air after hearing that it can sync wirelessly with all iOS devices. I then purchased the iWork office for my college courses and found out that the school requires online students like me to use Microsoft Office for Mac. An Apple phone rep explained that this software syncs in read-only mode with the iPhone. Is there really no way - besides third party software like Dropbox, Windows Live SkyDrive, or Docs To Go - for me to sync my homework between iWork on my iPhone and MS Office my new MacBook?

Go through this article: How to back up your data and set up as a new device or do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

Events created on iphone over a week into the future do not sync with mac

Hello,
I have the following problem: whenever I create an event on iCal on the iPhone (2.2.1 3G), this newly created event sync backs fine to iCal on my mac (macbook running 10.5.6), as long as it occurs within 7 days into the future. Any events that lie more than 7 days into the future will not sync back from my iphone to the mac.
Example: today is 3/3. Any events create on the phone for 3/3, 3/4 ... 3/9 WILL sync back to ical on my mac. Events for 3/12 do NOT sync. Events for 3/10 8am did sync, but 11pm did not. Forget about your dental appt 6 months from now. As if there is some arbitrary "7 day in the future" cutoff.
I called phone support, thinking there may be a hidden setting or so that I overlooked, and that was utterly useless. The Apple rep suggested to look in the app store for an application that might fix this. "Besides", he said, "nobody creates events more than 7 days in the future". ***?
Looks like a bug to me, but maybe I overlooked something.
Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Is there any setting that I can try?
Any procedure that I should try?
ny other suggestions?
Thanks much!
Erik

Before i began syncing calendar events over the air with my MobileMe/former .Mac account, I synced contact info direct with iCal on my Mac via the iTunes sync process. I had no problem syncing events created more than 7 days in the future with the direct sync with iCal on my Mac, and I don't have this problem syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account.
I believe there is a setting under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for syncing calendar events. I no longer have this available for my iPhone sync preferences since I'm syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account. I know the setting includes an option for syncing events in the past, but I don't recall if it included an option for syncing events in the future. There should be a setting for syncing all events. Is this selected?
There is also a setting on the iPhone for syncing all events, or events 2 weeks back, or 3 months back, but nothing for limiting syncing events in the future such as limiting this within the next 7 days.

Entourage Tasks and iCal "To dos" have disappeared during sync with .Mac

All of my “tasks” (both completed and incomplete) in Entourage and "to dos" iCal have disappeared, apparently during a sync with dot Mac. This problem has happened twice in the past two weeks (the first time I lost all of my Entourage “notes” too, but I haven’t put any back).
The tasks show no problems for a week and then all of a sudden disappear from both Entourage and iCal. My calendar and address book (which I also sync) seem not to be affected. Entourage doesn’t seem to offer a way to sync the calendar without syncing the tasks as well.
Here are my questions:
Why did my tasks disappear?
How do I prevent their disappearance again?
has anyone else experienced this problem?
My Entourage database is fine. I’m running Entourage 11.2.3 (which rencently added a feature "sync services" that allows syncing with .Mac and iCal).

I had the same problem and I got my To Dos to appear when I clicked on the To Dos by Priority column header and checked/unchecked the Hide Items outside Calendar View option. (Doesn't seem to make any difference whether it is checked or unchecked ... it displays all of the items ... at least until restart iCal ... then it is a bit unpredictable.)
I also have intermittent problems when I create or change a new Event. Sometimes the change does not appear until I move off the page that I am displaying and come back (e.g. move forward a week in week view and then back.)

Syncing to a new computer should give you the opportunity to replace the exisiting contents with the new.
