If you set up synchronization with the desktop sync software, information in the Favorites
application is synchronized by default as well.
You can choose which applications sync—provided the application appears in the sync list.
for example, you can choose not to sync Tasks. See “Changing Which Applications Sync” on
page 314 for details on choosing applications from the sync list.
You can also use the Files sync folder to sync files from applications that don’t appear in the
sync list. For example, you can sync files such as Microsoft
®
Word, Microsoft
®
Excel
®
,
Microsoft
®
PowerPoint
®
, Microsoft
®
OneNote
®
and Adobe Acrobat
®
(PDF) files, as well as
pictures, music, videos that originate on your Treo. See “Synchronizing Microsoft
®
Office and
Other Files” on page 260 and “Synchronizing Your Media Files” on page 205 for details on
using the Files sync folder.
If you want to synchronize music, pictures, and videos from your Windows Media
®
Player
library, you need Windows Media Player 10 or later on your computer, in addition to desktop
synchronization software.
If you want to synchronize with a personal information manager (PIM) other than Microsoft
Office Outlook, you must install a third-party solution. Contact the PIM’s vendor to learn
whether software is available for your Treo.
Did you know? Synchronizing Favorites gives you an easy way to get favorites from the Web
browser on your computer into the Web browser on your Treo. Just add
them to the folder called Mobile Favorites, which shows up in your
computer’s browser. When you sync, they become available on your device
as well. Backup copies of any favorites that you add on the Treo browser are
also stored in the Mobile Favorites folder.
Tip If you don’t have Windows Media Player installed on your computer,
download it for free from www.microsoft.com.
