Product Platform: MacOS,MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

I have been using this version for some time now. I upgraded my G5 to Tiger, expecting the worse, and other than crashing during the very first post-update sync, it has been syncing flawlessly between my G5 and Tungsten T5, even with the new iSync architecture.

For those who plug Missing Sync, I would say (1) it isn't free (2) I have tried installing it on a couple of occasions and it has buggered up my setup in a big way. I'll never install it again unless I am forced to.

Works for some of us, even with Tiger - sgrigsbywv

Doen't work for me anymore. I have not been able to synch my palm since I upgraded to Tiger. The compatibility statement at Palm has a link which leads to a dead page. Frustrating.

Works for some of us, even with Tiger - John Sawyer

Though Missing Sync isn't free, I've found it useful in one situation where a user was having no luck transferring his information from an old Palm to a Treo--he was able to copy the data from the Palm to his Mac, but then when he tried to sync that data from the Mac into the Treo, the sync operation froze the Treo, making it unusable, requiring the user to return it; he tried again with the second Treo, with the same result. He called me in at that point, to see what I could do with the third Treo. I decided to forego using the Palm software altogether, and instead tried Missing Sync, which allowed me some slightly finer control over what to import into the Treo, and what not to. I chose to transfer only the data he really needed, leaving out some of the conduits, and that worked. This implies some sort of odd data structure incompatibility, or possibly damage, in one of his conduits, and though I know the Palm sync software also lets you choose which conduits not to transfer, there was something about the Palm software's options that didn't give me confidence that the problem wouldn't happen again. Using the Missing Sync software, the data transferred properly into the Treo, with no freezing.
