My backup files on my computer are increasing in size even though I’ve eliminated
information that I’m backing up from the Newton device.
m Try moving your backup files to a different location, then make a new
backup. The new backup files should be smaller. You can then erase the
old files and use the new smaller ones.
Problems installing packages
I can’t install a package.
m You may not have enough free storage space on your storage card or
Newton device. Try deleting packages and information you don’t need.
m Contact the software publisher to make sure the package is compatible with
the Newton 2.0 or 2.1 operating system.
A package I installed on my Newton device takes up less memory than on my computer.
m Some packages are compressed when you install them on your Newton
device. The package will work properly.
I can’t establish a serial connection from my PowerBook or PowerBook Duo.
m Choose the Chooser from the Apple (K) menu and make sure AppleTalk
is inactive.
m Open the PowerBook Setup control panel and make sure Modem is set
to Normal.
When I restore a package to my Newton device, an “X” appears on top of the package.
m An “X” means the package is not activated or is a duplicate. To activate
the package, restart your Newton device, or open the package by tapping
its icon.
Problems importing, exporting, and synchronizing
I can’t import a text file.
m Make sure the file is in plain text format. You can only import plain text
files into the Newton Notepad.
m Make sure you’ve specified the correct field and entry separators in the
file. See “Setting Miscellaneous Options” in Chapter 10, “Setting
Advanced Options.”
