Palm TX sync issues: Bluetooth works but not USB

I am using iSync conduit 1.2 w/ iSync 1.5 and iCal 1.5.5 as well as Palm Desktop 4.2.2. My problem is that when trying to sync over USB my TX no longer works and I am forced to sync more slowly over Bluetooth. Instead of syncing over USB, no sync window from iSync or Palm Desktop appear on the screen and after a minute an error "Cannot connect" message appears on the Palm screen. It syncs normally over Bluetooth.

I have checked that Hotsync is enabled in Palm Desktop and the iSync conduit is also enabled. I have tried to force a slow synchronization over USB, but I have the same problem.

Any suggestions?

PowerBook 15" 1.25 GHz, Mac OS X (10.3.x)

Has this always been the case, or have you previously successfully synchronized with this device using the USB interface?

Have you removed this device, and then subsequently re-added it using the option to do so in iSync 1.5?

I have previously successfully synchronized using USB.

I tried removing the device and re-adding it, but I get the same result: my computer sits idle and the Palm eventually times out into an error.

I tried upgrading to Leopard, but the same thing is happening.

I figured out the problem. I had not enabled the PalmConnect USB to serial adapter. I only had the USB connection enabled under the setup menu.

I can't my Palm TX to work. I use Missing Sync for Palm OS before, but the software will no longer work with Leopard nor Tiger. But interestingly, MSPOS did work with my old T3.

Switching back to the now working TX (syncs with USB cable) but will not transfer data from iCal. Are you using the mac's isync? I could never get it to work before.
