Download Macintosh drivers for PalmConnect® USB Kit
The following information provides system requirements and procedures for installing the PalmConnect USB Kit on a Macintosh.
Macintosh System Requirements:
PowerPC based Macintosh computer with USB port (iMac, iBook, G3, G4 and G5)
CD-ROM Drive
Mac OS X, Mac OS 9.x, or Mac OS 8.6 or later
To install the PalmConnect USB Kit on a Macintosh, follow these steps:
Turn on your Macintosh.
Install the Palm® Desktop software.
NOTE: If you have a previous version of the Palm Desktop software installed, it is important that you install the version from the PalmConnect USB Kit CD-ROM. If you are using other organizer software instead of Palm Desktop software, you still need to complete this process to install HotSync® Manager.
Insert the PalmConnect USB CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive, then double-click the Palm Desktop Installer icon.
Follow the onscreen instructions. The installer prompts you to:
Enter a user name (if you have already performed a HotSync operation, select the same name).
Select PalmConnect USB from the Port list.
Reboot your Macintosh when the installation is complete.
When the installation is complete, do the following:
Connect the USB to serial port adapter to your cradle connector (or HotSync cable).
Connect the USB to Serial Adapter to the USB port on your Macintosh.
Synchronize your data by double-clicking the Palm Desktop icon in the Palm folder.
Place your handheld in the HotSync cradle and press the HotSync button.
You have successfully completed the installation and performed your first HotSync operation using the USB port on your Macintosh computer.
