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 from the
HotSync Manager menu or the Palm
Desktop software menu.
■
Check the cable connection between the
cradle and the serial port on your
computer.
■
Make sure you selected the correct
serial port on the Local tab in the Setup
dialog. It should be set to the port where
you connected the cradle.
■
Try a lower baud rate setting on the
Local tab in the Setup dialog.
■
Make sure you are not running another
program, such as America Online,
CompuServe, or WinFax, that uses the
serial port you selected in the Setup
dialog box.
■
Read the HotSync Log for the user
account for which you are performing a
HotSync operation.
■
Make sure your organizer is seated in
the cradle correctly.
■
Make sure the gold-plated connectors
on the cradle and your organizer are
clean. Use a pencil eraser to clean them.
