Re: Two PDA's on one computer

this problem may be because you dont have the same programs isntalled on all of this computers, so the palm, can't sync with all the computers in the same way...

  This question was syncing two palms on
  one computer.
  How about syncing one palm on multiple
  computers?
  Ever since I obtained by T5 Tungsten, I
  have had problems syncing on my home
  desktop, office desktop, and my travel
  laptop.
  My Palm is the one constant that keeps
  my schedule and contacts together on the
  various computers.

  Yes it is, but it is tricky and you have
  to keep your
  wits about you when you do it.

  The secret lies in changing the name of
  the user
  folder each time you hotsync with a
  different device.
  For example, I currently have a Sony
  Clie TJ37 and a
  Palm M515 both synched to the same
  username. 

  You can start one pda by adding the
  files and software
  you want and hotsync it with the
  username of your
  choice. 

  Go the the Palm folder and find the
  folder marked with
  your username. For example, my username
  is Gareth
  Gammon. Palm created a folder called
  Gammong. This
  folder contains all the data from the
  one pda I
  hotsynched. RENAME THIS FOLDER. As I
  have a Sony Clie
  TJ37 I name this folder GammongClie37. 

  Do a hard reset on the second handheld
  so it has no
  username and hotsync. The Palm Desktop
  will detect
  that the new pda has no username and
  will ask you to
  pick one. Choose the same username and
  hotsync.
  Because you have renamed the first
  folder something
  else, The desktop will think the data
  has been lost
  and will set up a new folder with a new
  set of data
  eg. Address book, calender, to do etc
  but of course
  they will be empty. Now you can add the
  software you
  want, using the same username to
  activate it. Each
  time you hotsync the backup folder will
  be filled with
  the new programs and files.

  Moving address book and calendar data
  from the first
  handheld to the second is also possible.

  If you want to go back to hosync changes
  to the first
  hand held, you MUST go back to the Palm
  folder, change
  the current username folder to something
  else, in my
  case I call it GammongM15, rename the
  first folder
  folder back to what it was originally,
  eg GammonClie37
  back to Gammong, and then hotsync.

  This renaming of folders each time you
  change devices
  is extremely important and you must be
  careful that
  you don't mix up the two folders. This
  is because, in
  my case, there are files that work only
  on the Clie
  and if they were to get onto the M515 by
  accident
  could cause all kinds of problems. Also
  my Clie uses
  OS5.2 and the M515 is OS4.1. This is not
  always a
  problem, but best to keep the pda OS's
  separate. The
  Clie uses it's own hi-res format and the
  M515 is low
  res. Software settings for one device
  may not work
  properly on the other and some of my
  software is for
  OS5 ONLY and vice versa.

  It is a lot of work and a little risky
  just to use the
  same username, but it is possible if you
  are careful.

  If you mess up, just do a hard reset and
  re-build the
  pda from scratch. Not a bad idea to do
  this every once
  in a while anyway as there are always
  bits and pieces
  of files left over that are no longer
  needed that just
  use up your RAM without doing anything. 

  Unless you are comfortable getting in
  the file
  structures in the Palm folders you might
  want to give
  this a miss!

  Hope this is helps some.
