Using Your Applications

Note: User names appear in the User pop-up on the right side of the

toolbar. You can change users by selecting a new name in the
pop-up menu.

Each subsequent time you perform a HotSync operation, HotSync
Manager reads the user name from your handheld and synchronizes
the data in the folder of the same name.

Note: Be sure you select the correct user name from the User pop-up

before entering data on Palm Desktop or performing a
HotSync operation.

If you are a System Administrator preparing several handhelds for a
group of users, you may want to create a user profile. See “Creating a
user profile” in Chapter 5
before performing the following steps.

Important: You must perform your first HotSync operation with a

local, direct serial connection.

The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm
Desktop software. If you have not installed this software, see
“Installing Palm Desktop software” in Chapter 1 for instructions.

To perform a local HotSync operation on a Macintosh:

1. Connect your handheld to the HotSync cable.

2. Make sure HotSync Manager is enabled: Double-click the HotSync

Manager icon in the Palm folder. Click the HotSync Controls tab
and make sure the Enabled option is selected.

3. Press the HotSync button

on the cable.
