INFORMATION FOR USERS WHO SYNC THEIR PALMS WITH OUTLOOK
This information is not relevant to Palm Desktop Users.
If you wish to sync your Palm OS PDA with 2Sync(r) instead of Microsoft Outlook then please read the following:
2Sync(r) does NOT support Pocket Mirror, a software conduit that is shipped with early versions of Palm Desktop (prior to v4.0). This software was used by Palm to allow synchronisation with Microsoft Outlook. Palm no longer distributes Pocket Mirror with its Palm Desktop software, however if you have an old version of Palm Desktop (v3.x or earlier) you will need to follow the following instructions to avoid duplication of your Palm data.
1. Before installing 2Sync(r) you may need to uninstall Pocket Mirror, to see if you need to do this, go to the Windows Control Panel and double-click on Add/Remove Programs.
2. If Pocket Mirror is installed on your machine it will appear in the list, you can remove Pocket Mirror by selecting from the list and clicking Remove.
3. Once you have removed Pocket Mirror press the Sync button on your Palm which will then reconfigure itself automatically.
IMPORTANT: Once you have installed 2Sync you need to firstly synchronise 2Sync with your Outlook data. Once this is done you need to synchronise 2Sync with your Palm - using the '2Sync Overwrites Palm' option. Once you have done this your data will be in the correct format on Outlook, 2Sync and your Palm and you should have no problems with record duplication.
For more information on this issue with Pocket Mirror visit www.chapura.com > Support > conduct a Search under "duplication"
For the latest version of Palm Desktop, which does not include Pocket Mirror go to www.palm.com/support/downloads/
