iSync Conduit not visible in HotSync Conduit Manager

Just read a post on another Apple forum about syncing with iSync and iCal for a Palm. Suggestion was to turn off syncing contacts in iSync and just sync calendars - that worked for me too, on my Palm Z22. Doesn't work the other way around though.

Hello,
I just switched to a Mac, and the only major problem is getting the Palm to sync with iSync. I have a Macbook running 10.5.1, and my Palm is a Z22. I don't see the iSync conduit anywhere, and I get the error that the Palm software is not properly installed when I try to enable the Palm sync in iSync. Does ISync require a separate conduit despite what Apple says? If so, please send me whatever I need.

Thanks

I have spent hours looking for iSync conduits on hotSync Manager, with Leopard and iSync 3.0...I should have read your comments before installing 10.5 on my iMac!!

Could you send me a replacement conduit when there is one available??

Thanks

Thanks

sorry, for asking but I need the conduit too for Leopard syncing with LD

I have no replacement conduit for Mac OS X 10.5 or later, and your issues with iSync 3 and Mac OS X 10.5 likely have nothing at all to do with the iSync Palm Conduit or the HotSync Manager.

My recommendation would be to revert to Mac OS X 10.4.11 and iSync 2.4, or to download the Missing Sync for Palm OS. You are not going to see the Mac OS X 10.5 and iSync 3 issues resolved anytime soon.

I have a problem with my new Imac alu 20 inch and Tungsten E2. The conduit do not appear.
I'm running tiger 10.4.11

Dear Mr. Lafferty,

Deember lat year I have wrote you, that the isync of my MacPowerBook, equipped with Leopard does not work. Like in ma other computers th conduit mamager did not show the icon. You wrote hat your people work on the problem.

As far as I have followed the dicussion group you have now a installatio tool which repairs this.

Could I therefore have this tool either?

Best regrads, Thomas Freiman.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.

Palm synchronization is, to some degree, broken in Mac OS X 10.5 and later. To install the appropriate iSync Palm Conduit, which is bundled in your configuration, you need to launch iSync and choose the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option. This will install the conduit, defeat presently active conflicting Palm conduits, and allow you to configure it.

If you receive an error that the HotSync Manager is not properly installed, that is a completely UNRELATED issue, and must be resolved by invoking a change to Palm—not Apple—permissions, using a procedure I can describe to you. Please start another thread if you need to know how to do that, as it has nothing at all to do with this issue.

Even if you elect to do and choose to use iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit, you will still face issues regarding calendar synchronization. You should instead investigate the Missing Sync for Palm OS, which resolves all Mac OS X 10.5 or later issues with Palm synchronization, except for a specific one involving iCal 3 calendars. Resolution of that issue requires a yet-unreleased update to iCal.

Again, if you should choose to pursue the opportunity involving the Missing Sync for Palm OS, please start another thread if you have questions about that.

When you say 'same problem,' exactly what do you mean? That the iSync Palm Conduit is not visible in the HotSync Manager, or that you have other issues—which you certainly must—if you are attempting to synchronize a Palm device using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit under Mac OS X 10.5

In either event, I do not have a replacement conduit for Mac OS X 10.5 yet, and it may still be some time before I get to it. Even if I did and sent it to you, your Palm device would not synchronize properly under Mac OS X 10.5 or later. You should instead look to using the Missing Sync for Palm OS.

With OS X 10.5.1 the Apple Conduit is also invisible in my HotSync Manager. Are there no solutions except to pay 40$ for "Missing Sync" ?

After discussing this with three levels of Apple support, the final answer was yes, Missing Sync is the only solution to sync a Palm device with the Mac applications in Leopard.
