My appointments show up in the wrong
time slot after I sync

If you create an appointment in the wrong
time zone (that is, your desktop was set to
the wrong time zone), it shows up in the
wrong time zone on your Centro. To be
safe, enable local network time and avoid
assigning time zones to your
appointments.

If you’re using Microsoft Outlook:

1 Make sure that you installed the

Microsoft Outlook conduit that came
with your Centro. If you’re not sure
whether this software is installed,
reinstall Palm Desktop software from
the Getting Started CD that came with
your Centro.

2 Open Microsoft Outlook and correct the

wrong entries.

3 On your computer, manually enter any

Calendar info you added to your Centro
since the last time you synchronized.

4 Click HotSync manager

in the

taskbar and select Custom.

5 Select an application that has both

Calendar and Outlook in its name.

6 Click Change.

7 Select Desktop overwrites handheld,

and then click OK.

8 Synchronize your Centro and your

computer.

9 Repeat steps 4 through 6 to open the

Calendar Change HotSync Action dialog
box again.

10 Make sure Synchronize the files is

selected and Set as default is checked,
and then click OK.

You should now be able to assign time
zones to your events without encountering
this problem.

If you’re using Palm Desktop software:

1 On your Centro, press Calendar

2 Press Menu

3 Select Options, and then select

Preferences.

4 Uncheck the New events use time

zones box (if it’s checked).

5 On your computer, open Palm Desktop

software and correct the wrong entries.
