Performing a direct HotSync operation: Mac computer
When you installed Palm Desktop software, you entered a username. This
username is the connection between your handheld and your computer.
The first time you perform a HotSync operation the Palm Desktop software does
the following:
■
Adds a username to your handheld.
■
Creates a folder for the username in the Users folder inside the Palm folder
inside the current Mac user’s Documents folder. For example, if you entered
Jane Garcia as your username, a folder called Jane Garcia is created in the Users
folder.
■
Creates a file named User Data in your username folder.
Usernames appear in the User pop-up on the right side of the toolbar. You can
change users by selecting a new name in the pop-up menu.
Each subsequent time you perform a HotSync operation, HotSync Manager reads
the username from your handheld and synchronizes the data in the folder of the
same name.
Be sure you select the correct username from the User pop-up before entering data
on Palm Desktop or performing a HotSync operation.
