new treo 650 sync'ing problem

[MacsomJRR]

Howdy,

I just bought myself a new Treo 650 and I'm having trouble getting it to hotsync. All the software on the CD installed prior to attempting the first hotsync. After clicking the button on the usb cable I get the following message instantly on the Treo.

"unable to initiate hotsync operation because the port is in use by another application"

My previous device was a Tungsten T3 which I was sync'ing with Mark/Space's software. Could the Mark/Space conduits be messing with the Treo's newly installed conduits?

When I try to open the Hotsync Manager (not Mark/Space) I get the following message on my mac.

The application "HotSync Manager" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "2<HotSync Manager><HotSync Manager><TransportLib><>"

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I have a Treo 650 that I sync with my iMac and I don't have any problems at all. First off, have you rebooted the machine? I know it sounds stupid, but 8 or 9 times out of 10 that'll solve the problem. My other guess would be that it has something to do with the other software that you were using with your Tungsten. Try removing it and seeing if that makes any difference. If it doesn't, try removing the Palm Desktop software and reinstalling it. Hopefully one of those will work for you.

just to add... remember to delete or move the relevant library folders before reinstalling.

Would like to assist you in syncing with your Treo as mine works well. I sync with iCal and Address book easily. Good luck and enjoy the Treo as I love my Treo.

Thanks for the replies.

I tried installing the software CD on my PC laptop (no PDA software installed prior) and it still gives me the same error message on my palm. Interesting enough if I just press hotsync on the device itself when it isn't attached to a computer it does the same thing. This leads me to believe that there is something wrong with the treo device itself. I'm not sure what application could be "already using the port" does anyone know how to check that?

The phone is really a great piece of work. I can't believe it took me this long to finally get one!

Thanks for the replies so far. I can always count on the mac masses to help a fellow macker out
