Want to transfer data from old TX to new TX

Question

I need to move all my data from an old TX to a new one. I am unsure how to do this..... By what I understand all I need to do is hotsynch my new TX to my computer and all the data will transfer over, is this correct? Somewhere I read something about "computer to override handheld" or something like that. What is this, how/where do I access it? I appreciate anyones assistance!

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
Once you connect the new TX and press the Hotsync button, you will be given a chance to select your existing Hotsync ID, or create a new one, since the new TX will be a blank slate.  Just select your existing Hotsync ID, and away you go.
Now, you *do* have the option of changing each Conduit to Desktop Overwrites Handheld before you Hotsync.  This is usually done to troubleshoot problems with corrupted data, but it's also an extra measure of assurance that the desktop data will overwrite the blank data on the handheld.  To change your Hotsync Conduit settings, enter the Hotsync Manager by clicking once on the red and blue Hotsync icon in your System Tray at the bottom right corner of your screen (or click Start > Programs > Palm/PalmOne > Hotsync Manager if it's not already running).
Select Custom. Then scroll down the list of Conduits to the one(s) you want to change. They must be changed one at a time, by highlighting the conduit name and selecting Change. In the next dialog box, select the Hotsync action you wish. Then click OK.
Repeat the process for any other Conduits you wish to change. The new settings will affect ONLY the next Hotsync operation...i.e. they will NOT become the new default settings, unless you also click the "Set As Default" box. In this case, you wouldn't want to do that, so just leave the box unchecked.
Good luck.
