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.
