Why can't I perform a HotSync
®
operation after I plug in my USB to
serial port adapter?

2. Launch HotSync Manager.
3. Disable HotSync Manager.
4. Click the Serial Port Settings tab.
5. Under Local Setup, select PalmConnect USB from the Port list.

Why does an error message appear when I remove the USB to serial port
adapter and reboot my Macintosh?
HotSync Manager does not support all USB plug and play features. If you temporarily
disconnect the USB to serial port adapter, the following error message appears:
"HotSync Manager has been disabled because the USB cable is not plugged into your
Macintosh. Please reconnect the cable to the USB port before enabling HotSync
Manager." To proceed, simply click OK in the message box. To prevent this error
message from appearing during reboot, launch HotSync Manager, choose Setup,
disable HotSync Manager, and then disconnect the USB to serial port cable. Future
versions of HotSync Manager will eliminate this error message.
Note: For additional troubleshooting tips, see the readme file for Palm™ Desktop
software.
