Upgrading From Another Palm Powered Device - Palm 600 User Manual

Upgrading From Another Palm Powered Device

Note for Macintosh Users:
make sure you don't encounter compatibility issues when you upgrade to Treo 600. Follow the
instructions in this README file for a smooth transition.
To transfer all compatible applications and data from your previous device to your
new Treo:
1. Perform a HotSync operation with your old device and your old desktop
software to back up your data one last time.
2. Install the Palm Desktop synchronization software from the CD that came with
your Treo (see page 21). During the installation process, perform a HotSync
operation with your new Treo. When prompted to choose a user name for your
new Treo, be sure to select the existing user name for your old device.
3. Some third-party applications may be quarantined by the HotSync Manager
because they are not compatible with the Palm OS 5.2.1 on your Treo. Do not
manually install any quarantined files.
4. If you plan to continue using your old device, perform a hard reset (see page
153) to remove its associated user name. Each device you synchronize with
your computer must have a unique name. The next time you synchronize with
your old device, be sure to assign it a new user name.
After upgrading, there are a few things you need to know about your new Treo:
