Two bosses, each with a Palm they rely upon. Four pcs running WinXP, with Palm software on pcs 1 and 2 and Sony Clie software on 3 and 4.
I need to get the Sony Clie software and datebook/address database on pcs 1 and 4, and the Palm software with datebook/address database on pcs 3 and 2. So I’m only changing software and data on pcs 2 and 4.
I’m a bit nervous about messing this up.
If I uninstall the both softwares (using Add/Remove utility in the Control Panel), then delete all address and datebook databases from those hard drives, and finally, install the software on the correct pcs, will a simple hotsync from pcs 1 and 3 re-build the databases on the correct pcs?
Hotsync makes no sense to me, so I’m a bit skittish that I’ll accidentally wipe out all the info.
I’d sure appreciate some advice/warnings/ assurance from folks who know.
If so it is pretty easy, just sync the palm device on the computer you want to switch, hotsync manager will reconize the difference and ask you to create a new profile. This info from the palm device should transfer into this profile. You can switch profles w/i the palm desktop softare and most likely delete one if you chose.
Whatever you do, back up the entire Palm/CLIE software directories first. (C:\Program Files\SonyPDA and …\Palm, usually.) The user data is inside those directories. This should allow you to recover from any mistake.
