Panther/Entourage X (upgraded)/Palm sync

M

Michael Twombly

Dear Friends:

After years of successful Mac Entourage 2001-Palm syncing, I migrated to
OS 10.3 and Entourage X, upgraded all that I could, and now cannot
successfully sync my Entourage X with my handheld Palm IIIxe (4.0).

I am told that Palm does not support Entourage. And that Microsoft has not
caught up with OS 10.3.

Am grateful for any assistance.

It works for me - Mac OS 10.3, MS Office v.X and a palm Tungsten T2. It
never stopped working when I upgrade from 10.2 to 10.3. I have found in the
past that changes to Entourage required reinstallation of the conduit for
Palm syncing.

Try the following in order:

Remove the Entourage conduit.

Apply all the Mac OS updates.

Download and install any MS Office updates.

Make sure that you have the latest MS Office conduit for Palm and re-install
it.

Indeed, I recently had the same problem when I upgraded to the black
cat. I reinstalled all Office software, upgrades and all, including
the Palm conduit upgrade. Then ran the permissions correction with
Disk Utility. Then reinstalled Palm from a freshly downloaded version
from PalmOne. Since I also have a Keyspan USB connector, I also
redownloaded and reinstalled the 10.3 compatible software. Ran the
permission correction again.

Than I crossed my fingers and pressed the Sync button on my Palm Vx.
It worked. Still does.

Patience, discipline and a lot of "kids, please let daddy work!"

Good luck.

Oh, of course, you do need to remember to back up all your existing
files from Entourage should you decide to reinstall the software ! =)
Reinstalling afterwards will be easy: simply copy over the newly
created and empty files that Entourage will have created in your
folder (User><OSX_user_name>>Documents>Palm>Users<palm_user_name)
