(Turn off your modem, wait a minute, and then turn it back on.) Check the following on your handheld: I can’t perform an IR HotSync operation.
Appendix B Frequently Asked Questions When I press the HotSync button on the cradle, nothing happens on Palm Desktop software and my handheld times out. ■ Make a copy of your Palm folder. Uninstall, and then reinstall, Palm Desktop software. ■ Turn on your handheld and press the Home HotSync icon, and then tap Local. When I perform a HotSync operation, my information does not transfer to Palm Desktop software.
Beaming problems Beaming problems Problem Solution I cannot beam data to another device with an IR port. ■ If you are beaming to another Palm handheld, confirm that your handheld and the other handheld are between ten centimeters (approximately 4") and one meter (approximately 39") apart, and that the path between the two handhelds is clear of obstacles. Beaming distance to other devices with an IR port may be different. ■ Move your handheld closer to the receiving device.
Appendix B Frequently Asked Questions Password problems Problem Solution I forgot the password, and my handheld is not locked. First, use the password hint to try and remember the password. If this does not help, or if you do not have a password hint, you can use Security to delete the password, but your handheld deletes all entries marked as private.
