Re: [PilotMgr] Resynchronization and restore of data.

[Sandra Bauer <Sandy.Bauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I upgraded from an old Palm Professional to a Palm Vx without ever using my PC.  I 
used pilotmanager only! I was able to "load" my new Palm Vx with all my old data 
using my Sun workstation without ever touching my PC.  In fact, I never even hooked 
up my cradle to my PC, it stays at Sun connected to my Ultra 10.

I too share perl from a server and only had to make sure the scripts pointed to the 
write place for perl.

:)John,
:)
:)I just went through this, not a lost Palm but an upgrade.
:)
:)There have been two suggestions on this alias over the past months:
:)
:)	1) Upgrade your perl and perl/tk
:)	2) Sync on a PC first
:)
:)Well, yesterday I did start by syncing my new IIIc on my home PC but when I 
:)brought it into work, I got the same error you're seeing.  Upgrading perl didn't 
:)seem practical for me, since I'm using perl via a shared server and I wasn't 
:)ready to take on having my own copy.
:)
:)So, I thought that maybe it would help to sync *first* with PilotMgr, so I did a 
:)hard reset and tried that.  Didn't work.  Of course, now I had an empty IIIc 
:)that is pretty much useless.
:)
:)So, I went home and re-sync'ed again with the PC (actually, it took several 
:)syncs, but that is another, longer story).  I also ran the memory test (there 
:)was an item here recently about some defective memory in new palms) -- passed.
:)
:)In the course of doing that, I disovered there is a Palm OS 3.5.2 update, which 
:)I installed.
:)
:)Today, after re-syncing and installing 3.5.2, I can sync w/PilotMgr just like 
:)the old days, and life looks better again.
:)
:)Bottom line -- I don't know if it was the multiple syncs, or 3.5.2, but it 
:)worked for me today.
:)
:)Kent
