CHAPTER 5 Moving Info Between Your Handheld and Your Computer

T|X Handheld 74
What information is synchronized?
When you install Palm Desktop software from the software installation CD, a conduit is installed
to your computer for each of the following applications:
The conduits allow you to transfer information between the application on your handheld and
the corresponding application in Palm Desktop software when you synchronize.
Information from Expense and Media is synchronized on Windows computers only.
During CD installation, you can synchronize your handheld with Microsoft Outlook on your
computer (Windows only). If you do, info from Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos is
synchronized with info in the same application in Outlook (Memos is called Notes in Outlook).
Information for Expense, Note Pad, and Media is still synchronized with the same application in
Palm Desktop software. You can insert the CD at any time to choose synchronization with Outlook
if you did not do so during the initial installation.
You can also set up the VersaMail
®
application to synchronize it with Outlook.
You can synchronize more than one handheld with your computer. For example, family members
can all synchronize their handhelds with the same copy of Palm Desktop software, or some can
choose to synchronize with Palm Desktop software, while others synchronize with Outlook. Just
make sure that each handheld has its own username; the desktop software reads the username
and recognizes the handheld during synchronization. Loss of info may occur from sharing the
same username.
