[DM-MUG] Syncing of Palm devices and overwriting?

[Matthew Wheeler]

Generally, if you reset all data from the computer, and then press the 
HotSync button when asked, you'll accomplish the same thing, it's just 
not obvious. I also take the extra step to "force slow synchronization" 
every time I appear to have iSync problems. Find this option in the 
iSync window--click the Palm icon. This seems, IMO, to work a little 
better at resetting the Palm.

I have been getting frequent synching errors and 10.3 seems to not fix 
them even during a reset. Tiger has been more descriptive and helpful 
with this and I LOVE all the new reporting that Tiger does (just look 
at the System Profiler).
