Troubleshooting Tips
I am using Outlook 
as my PIM, but I 
cannot do a HotSync 
operation.
■
Click the HotSync Manager and choose
Custom. Check that the correct conduit 
is active.
■
Check that the correct conduit is
installed. Reinstall the HotSync 
Manager and make sure the correct 
conduit is selected.
I tried to do a local 
HotSync operation, 
but it did not 
complete 
successfully.
Try each of these in turn:
■
Make sure HotSync Manager is
running. If HotSync Manager is 
running, exit and restart it. 
■
Make sure you selected Local USB or
Local Serial from the HotSync Manager 
menu or the Palm Desktop software 
menu.
■
Check the cable connection between the
cradle and the port on your computer.
■
Make sure you installed the software
that came with your handheld. You 
must install this software even if you 
upgraded from a Palm organizer.
■
Click the HotSync Manager and make
sure that the Local USB option has a 
check next to it. If you are using an 
optional serial cradle, make sure that 
the Local Serial has a check next to it, 
then select Setup and confirm that the 
COM port setting matches the port 
where you attached the serial cradle.
■
If you are using a serial cradle, try a
lower baud rate setting on the Local tab 
in the Setup dialog box.
■
Make sure you are not running another
program, such as America Online, 
CompuServe, or WinFax, that uses the 
port you selected in the Setup dialog 
box.
■
Read the HotSync Log for the user
account for which you are performing a 
HotSync operation.
