Performing a direct HotSync operation: Mac computer
When you installed Palm Desktop software, you entered a username. This
username is the connection between your handheld and your computer.
The first time you perform a HotSync operation the Palm Desktop software does
the following:
■ Adds a username to your handheld.
■ Creates a folder for the username in the Users folder inside the Palm folder
inside the current Mac user’s Documents folder. For example, if you entered
Jane Garcia as your username, a folder called Jane Garcia is created in the Users
folder.
■ Creates a file named User Data in your username folder.
Usernames appear in the User pop-up on the right side of the toolbar. You can
change users by selecting a new name in the pop-up menu.
Each subsequent time you perform a HotSync operation, HotSync Manager reads
the username from your handheld and synchronizes the data in the folder of the
same name.
