Re: Can't sync Palm after adding HP Photo printer 7280

Having read the suggested reasons why Hotsync-ing is so difficult for my T5,
I tried some experiments. First I disconnected all peripherals into USB
ports. Then I inserted my cable into each one of the 4 different ports in
sequence. Sure enough Only one port worked. Since I don't keep my cable
plugged in all the time (nor the others since it is a laptop that does some
traveling) I noted that port. While the other peripherals are not picky
about the ports they are plugged into, they don't matter.  But I surmise
that the port I originally set up the sync is the only port that will work.
I hope this suggestion works for you and lets you do a complete sync
operation.
