Title: Palm 515 question
Post by: Clark Kent on October 22, 2004, 04:47:35 pm

I recently got a Palm 515 as a hand me down, which is a clear upgrade from my Palm 125, which has seen better days.  In any event, I have not been able to get the "new" palm to sync with any computer with the palm desktop installed.  I'm wondering why not.  Has anyone here seen something similar?  I've tried both macs and PCs to get this bad boy synced, but nothing I do works.  All that happens is I hit the hotsync button, it says it's syncing, but nothing happens on the comupter(s).  I'm thinking it's one of two things:  I need to install a speicalized copy of the same version of the palm desktop for each plam pilot, or there is hardware damage that will not allow it to work.
Any thoughts?

I have a 505.  Are you running XP and connecting through a USB port?  If so there is a patch/update for the Palm Desktop software that you will need to your Palm to communicate with your PC.

I'm running win 2kpro, win me and Mac OS X.  It won't work on any of these systems right now.  nhowever, the M125 does.  I am connecting with a USB serial, but I've never had problems connecting before like this with my 125.  is this a problem that happens with the 500 series?
