Data transfer If you have data such as contacts or calendar events in desktop organizer software, you can export that data to your Palm® Pre™ Plus Phone. From a Windows computer, you can transfer contacts, calendar events, tasks, and memos/notes from Palm Desktop software by ACCESS version 6.2 and Microsoft Outlook 2003 or later. From a Mac computer, you can transfer contacts, calendar events, and tasks from Address Book and iCal.
Data transfer overview While you have many options for transferring data, Palm recommends that you take advantage of the Synergy™ feature by putting your data in an online account—for example, if you don’t have a Google account, we recommend that you create one and store your data there (see How do I add names and other info into Contacts?, How do I get events into Calendar?, and How do I send and receive email on my phone?).
How do I get data off my computer? About the Data Transfer Assistant The DTA enables you to do a one-time, one-way export of data from selected desktop apps to your Pre Plus phone through the USB cable included with your phone. After the data is on your phone, you can select the account you want to import the data to.
• If you have an earlier version of Palm Desktop, you can download version 6.2.2 for free from palm.com/desktop. Install it, sync with your old Palm device, and then use the DTA to transfer your data. • Do you use Palm Desktop on the Mac? Don’t worry, you can export your contacts, calendar events, and tasks into Address Book and iCal. Then use the DTA to transfer your data. For more information, go to palm.com/migrate-pre.
I want to keep using my current desktop app and sync with an online account on my phone NOTE You don’t have to go to Calendar to set up your account there—that’s done automatically using the username and password you enter in Contacts. 4 Install a third-party application on your computer that enables you to sync with Google. Go to palm.com/migrate-pre to learn about available third-party sync solutions. 5 Follow the instructions of the third-party app to sync the data in your desktop app with Google.
I’d rather sync directly with my computer Would you rather sync your Pre Plus phone directly to your computer without going through the web? Download a third-party application (sold separately) that enables synchronization of your phone and your desktop app. 1 Go to palm.com/migrate-pre to learn about third-party applications that enable you to sync your phone with your computer using Wi-Fi. 2 Follow the instructions given by the third-party vendor to install the app on your computer.
