Some WebMail data was not synchronized.

Some data in Share360 cannot be downloaded to the handheld using Share360 Sync for Palm OS(R).

If you have setup the HotSync option in the handheld, please refer to WebMail Sync manual for details on what data can or cannot be synchronized.

How do I uninstall Share360 Sync for Palm OS(R).

You can uninstall Share360 Sync for Palm OS(R) in one of the following two ways:

I cannot install Share360 Sync for Palm OS(R) because I don't know where Palm Desktop is installed.

Share360 Sync for Palm OS(R) must be installed in the same directory where Palm Desktop Software is installed. In the default settings, the directory is C:\Palm for Palm devices and C:\Program Files\Handspring for Handspring devices.

Before installing Share360 Sync for Palm OS(R), please make sure you have installed Palm Desktop Software.

Palm Desktop Software is contained in the CD that comes with each Palm-compatible handheld.

Where do I set up the sync conduit for each Share360 application?

First, start HotSync Manager. If you have already started it, you will see its icon in the task bar of Windows.

Right click the icon and select the Custom... menu. Here you can specify the settings for each conduit.

Nothing happens even after pressing the HotSync button on the cradle.

Make sure the cradle's cable is connected to the client machine properly. In addition, please confirm that HotSync Manager has already started.

All my Address Book data did not update after synchronization.

Make sure that you did not choose to "Do nothing" in the settings for each Share360 conduit.

For Address Book, Share360 Sync for Palm OS(R) lets you synchronize only those records under the "Cybozu" category in your handheld. Accordingly, if you see no data update or synchronization with Address Book, please check whether the address records you want to synchronize in the handheld are registered under the "Cybozu" category.

Usually, Share360 Sync for Palm OS(R) automatically creates the address category, "Cybozu". However, if you already have more than 15 categories, it cannot create the one for "Cybozu".

If this is the case, please delete some of your Palm OS categories.

Again, make sure that all the address records in your handheld have to be registered under the Cybozu category to synchronize with Address Book.

The data in my handheld was unintentionally overwritten or deleted.

The conduit may be set to overwrite the data in the handheld with Share360 applications data.

Share360 Sync for Palm OS(R) deletes data in the handheld that is out of the synchronization target.

For example, the completed ToDo records in the handheld are recognized as out of the target by Share360 Sync for Palm OS(R). Accordingly, they will be deleted when you synchronize ToDo List and the handheld.

Can I synchronize the handheld with other synchronizing software while using Share360 Sync for Palm OS(R)?

You cannot synchronize the handheld with other applications while you are using Share360 Sync for Palm OS(R).

For example, when you synchronize the Palm OS handheld schedule with Share360, you cannot synchronize the handheld with other scheduling software like Palm Desktop or Outlook. Data may be lost as synchronization may not work properly.

Is there any problem if I stop HotSync while it's working?

Please don't stop HotSync while it's working. The Share360 conduits save the updated synchronized data at the end of the session.

If you stop HotSync, updated information may not been saved. Therefore, when you synchronize the data again, the data that were synchronized before may be registered again.

My handheld data was deleted unintentionally.

You may check the box of Delete the data under inbox in handheld before synchronization under Action Setting.

Even if you have checked Keep all Emails in handheld in Advanced Setting, Delete the data under inbox in handheld before synchronization will delete emails in in Inbox of the handheld.

Emails in my handheld were sent out when I synchronized.

If you check Synchronize the Data or Handheld overwrites WebMail in the Action Settings, emails are sent out automatically when you synchronize.

You cannot edit the emails in your handheld outbox after synchronization in WebMail.

Some Bulletin Board data was not synchronized.

Even if you delete articles in the Share360 Bulletin Board, the same data in your handheld will not be deleted after synchronization.

However, if you check Delete the data under Share360 Category in handheld before synchronization, the data is deleted.

You can not choose specific articles for synchronization.
