Question

how do I remove an old Palm sync device?

I used to have a Palm Treo smartphone. Worked great, but I eventually moved on to an iPhone 3.

That was a few OS X versions ago!

Now, I have Lion and an iPhone 4. And I just noticed this error in my console log:

12-01-04 3:19:46.791 PM SyncServer: [0x7fe69a416df0] |DataManager|Warning| Client com.apple.Palm:3297500208 image file path /Applications/iSync.app/Contents/Resources/tungsten.tiff does not exist.

12-01-04 3:19:46.792 PM SyncServer: [0x7fe69a416df0] |DataManager|Warning| Client com.apple.Palm:3297500208 sync alert tool path /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SyncLegacy.framework/Resources/Translator does not exist.

12-01-04 3:19:46.793 PM SyncServer: [0x7fe69a416df0] |DataManager|Warning| Client com.apple.Palm:3297500208 formatter bundle path /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SyncLegacy.framework/Resources/Translator does not exist.

It seems at least part of my old Palm sync conduit is still around! And not very happy.

I don't use Mobile me. And the iSync app is gone in Lion.

So, how do I manuallly delete this old device?

Thanks in Advance

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), (plus other hardware and systems)

THANKS! for the reply.

I'm Not sure I see the relevance of your link. I used the predecessor to isync when I first used my Palm to sync data with my MAC.

I don't thinik I installed any of Palm's software, so there are no old packages to remove.

I assume the log errors are old sub-system functions or drivers still looking for the hardware and software interfaces.

I thought the solution would be to find whatever lists sync devices and remove the Palm entry.

Or just delete the com.apple.palm objects.

I won't do either unless I can find some confirmation which path is safest.

If I missed something in your link, please let me know.

You can find the SyncroSpector program by searching for it in Spotlight.

THANK YOU TIGERJOHN!!!

I'll do some testing to be sure, but that seems almost exactly the same scenario I am in.
