Hello Chuck,

Did you try reding the SD card in a regular (PC) card reader ?

I don't own a Treo (yet) so I cannot confirm this will work, but I would
give a try...

I don't have a card reader. I use a laptop.

Connect the palm via the sync cable and use something like Softick Card
Export (www.softick.com) or PFB (filepc2pda.prc) was original from
www.ghisler.com .

Alternatively buy a PCMCIA Card Reader, got a 6 in 1 for £10 from
MobyMemory.

Thanks. I downloaded PFB since it's free but am still having a few
problems. The only connection method I have available is bluetooth via a
virtual com port on the windows side. When I start up filepc2pda on the
Treo, it asks for the passkey on windows. I have no clue what it is.
That pairing was set up weeks ago and AFAIK it was stored somewhere in
windows. I use BT to hotsync and it never asks for a passkey then. Do I
need a 2nd pairing or a 2nd virtual com port? I tried shutting down
hotsync manager thinking that might be causing a conflict over the port
that didn't help. TIA.

By photo app, do you mean the conduit? That's all that gets installed.
I have one called Media and one called Treo Pictures - I am not sure
which one is actually used. Do you have either one or both of those?

You did not say what Treo you have. I had a Treo 600, and the photos
went to Program Files\Handspring\(abbrev hotsync ID)\Photos. And they
did provide a desktop shortcut to go there. Now I have a Treo 650, and
the photos go to My Documents\My Pictures\palmone photos\(abbrev
hotsync id).

Hope that helps.

It's a Treo 650.

I suppose it's actually conduits I'm looking for but Palm refers to it
as "Palm Photos". I don't have either conduit.

The company I work for doesn't want us hotsyncing because they use
goodlink for syncing wirelessly, so they don't give out the CD. A few of
us techie types however are smart enough to know not to sync things that
would touch outlook or exchange. Without the CD we're stuck downloading
what we can from palmone and other web sites. When I downloaded the palm
desktop software, it did not come with the Treo Pictures or Media
conduits, so I guess that's what I really need.

I've searched the Palm website and all I came up with is this...
http://www.palm.com/us/support/downl...esk42.html#req

It's what I installed a few weeks ago and like the page says, it doesn't
include the conduits for syncing pictures or videos.

Any chance you or someone else could post a link to what I need? Or just
email it directly to me? Just remove the "_nospam" from my email address.

Even PFB would be fine if I could get it to work, but the filepc2pda app
on the palm keeps saying "could not open com port". If I create a 2nd
com port (assuming the the first one can only be used by hotsync), it
connects, but the PC applicaion (PFB) doesn't see it.

I just found someone who has the treo 650 cd posted on the internet. He
has the sprint and cingular versions, as well as the verizon treo 700.
Here's the URL in case anyone needs it.

Spoke too soon. The CD download appears to be corrupted. If anyone could
email me a copy or post a link, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I think you said you use bluetooth? I don't think most things that work
with hotsync will work with bluetooth (altho I could be wrong about
that - is a virtual serial port the same as a real one?). One thing
that should work is bluefiles from softick -
http://www.softick.com/bluefiles/. I have not used it, but it sounds
like it would do what you want.

The connection medium (Cable, bluetooth, 802.11b, cellular network)
isn't important, as long as there is a connection.

What is needed here is the conduits -- Palm's downloads are not entirely
feature complete (Try getting DocsToGo from Palm any way other then CD,
for example)

Sorry - looking at my message, I don't think I meant what I wrote. Or I
did not write what I meant. Things that work with hotsync will
obviously work with bluetooth. What I MEANT to say was something like
"connection applications OUTSIDE of hotsync probably won't work with
BT." Like card export, pockettunes/windows media player, etc. But I
would be happily proven wrong here as well.

I just started using BT with my Treo 650, and I love it. Just walk near
the PC, push hotsync ... it's ... it's .. MAGIC! I am also using
Blueant's Supertooth 2 BT speakerphone - very nice.

Yeah, the magic of HotSyncing wirelessly is really something the first
time. I had a T|E2 and loved that feature enough to put up with the
instability until the screen cracked *whew*

Went with a T|X, was even better, I could HotSync via 802.11b anywhere
inside or outside of my house.

I don't have my Treo 650 hotsyncing via BT yet, but once I move I will
set it up ASAP (pretty much once the box with my desktop BT adapter is
unpacked)

On of the other cool things, I have BT on my laptop which allows my Palm
to share the laptop's VPN, so with my TE2 and T|X I could hotsync from
anywhere on the planet that I could VPN from.

I'm trying to justify the cost of a VPN client for the Treo, but I just
don't really *need* to HotSync remotely all that often and all my other
local resources are available via HTTPS too.

Getting BT to work the first time was a bit tricky but it may have just
been me as I had never used BT before. I had it working with virtual com
port com4 for one or two hotsyncs but then it suddenly stopped working.
I had to add a 2nd virtual com port and switch hotsync manager to that
one (com5). Ever since it's been working 100%. I just don't have the
conduit I need yet.

Thanks. I'm looking for a free application though.
