Upgrading From Another Palm OS ® Device
You can transfer all compatible applications and information from your previous Palm OS
device to your new Treo™ 755
P
smart device by Palm. This includes your calendar events,
contacts, memos, and tasks, as well as your application settings and any compatible
third-party applications and files.
When you install Palm Desktop software, some third-party applications may be
quarantined because they are not compatible with the Palm OS software version 5.4.9 on
your new Treo device. Quarantined files are not installed on your device, nor are they
deleted; these files are placed in a new folder on your computer: C:\Program
Files\Palm\\PalmOS5 Incompatible Apps. (On some systems, Palm may be
replaced with palmOne or Handspring.)
1. Calculate how much space your applications and information occupy on your previous
Palm OS device:
Ⅲ From Applications view, press Menu .
Ⅲ Select Info on the App menu.
Ⅲ At the bottom of the screen, select Size.
Note: If you are setting up your first Palm OS® device, skip ahead to
“Connecting Your Treo Device to Your Computer” on page 34.
Note: Some third-party utilities allow you to back up your old device’s
information onto an expansion card and then transfer the information
to your Treo device. We do not recommend this method because any
incompatible applications are also transferred.
