General Discussion / Cannot Sync With Palm Desktop

« on: December 06, 2004, 11:48:15 pm »

Thanks for the input and help!!

Going to Palm desktop 4.0.1 did the trick.  Eveything sync and transfered the first time.
I will need to do some editing but that is a small price.
I am going to try the IR transfer in the future.
 
But it looks like things are not going to be easy.   The supplied USB cable fits into the cradle but  not directly into the Z. At first thought I was going nuts but  I measured the adapter on the Z and it is slightly smaller at the top than the cable.  Don't want to monkey with it while under warranty. Oh well looks like it's six days old and it will be out for repair.  Just hope they are quick about turning it around.



edit:  did a little research and found out that the dock and Z have diffent type USB ports.
Guess I should a little more reading next time......

General Discussion / Cannot Sync With Palm Desktop

« on: December 03, 2004, 06:02:13 pm »

Just got a 6000L.  It  is replacing an old Palm lllxe.  So I would like to move my info from the palm desktop to the Zaurus.
However, ever time I try intellisync it gives me the following error:
   "Could not find a Palm Desktop data file. After closing this message box you will need to open Palm Desktop application then close it again before re-running the synchronization."
I tried this with no luck.  Unistalled palm desktop and reinstalled.  Unistalled intellisync and reinstalled.  Both with the same results. (done this twice)  Have not been able to find anything on the Sharp or sync web sites.  Also searched this forum.  Seems everyone is getting it to work.
Not sure what I missing but would appreciate some help.

My config:
              6000L ;  Port config USB I/O (default)
                           OS Sharp kernel 2.4.18

              PC;  Win2K, sp4
                      Palm desktop 4.1.4 (hot sync has been unistalled)

Thanks in advance
