The Missing Sync for Palm OS - 6.0.6

It worked OK for a couple of years, but got progressively less functional as it failed to keep up with OS updates. I finally abandoned it in favor of iSync which works very well and has a much less confusing interface.

Marginally successful on my new Palm Pre. Copied my address book but not iCal (I seem to have duplicate calendars?)
Does not copy Now Up to Date, my beloved calendar program (Not the dastardly useless "NightHawk"). The old Missing Sync copies NUD to my Palm Tungsten beautifully. Oh well, maybe in couple of years when I have moved onto another phone they will get this one right.

This app worked when it was first installed but after basic use and an update my contacts would not sync. I know it is a software issue by the way it reacts, but every time I try to contact tech support I get a link to a FAQ. Their customer service / tech support is non-existent! If I wanted to read about generic problems I'd create them myself. Save your $$$ and accept the fact that no-one can make a reliable patch.

After updating from Entourage 2004 to 2008, I have decided to change to Apple's software solutions. Syncing my Palm TX with MS Office or iCal and address-book was an impossible mission! Thanks to Missing Sync it's an easy task now. The good news is, that Mark developed a solution for Palm syncing with Apple's dream-machines, the sad side is, that Apple still is missing profound Palm-Support.

Thanks Mark

After upgrading to Leopard, I bought the MS 6 upgrade to continue using my Palm TX with my MacBook. Things work, but I swear that about 75% of my syncs now end in the Mac application crashing--crazy. I almost always send my crash reports in, so I hope a 6.0.5 update will appear soon.

Startup time for v6 seems to be very slow, which adds to frustration following crashes.

Though it's Apple's fault, the program can no longer mount external memory cards on the Desktop, something I loved under Tiger.

For syncing a Palm under Mac OS X, this is really the only game in town. It does a competent job, and if you use J-OS to use Japanese on your Palm, the program will handle Japanese text syncs well.
