I recently bought my Mom a Sony Clie PEG-SJ20 for Mother's Day. I set it up for her and attempted to beam a few things I had on my PDA (Handspring Visor Edge) and got the message "could not find receiving handheld computer". I know my PDA works b/c I had a colleague beam something to my using her Sony Clie PEG-SJ22, and I beamed something back to her just to be sure. The PDA my Mom has works well otherwise. BTW the beam receive selection under preferences is checked.
Any hints as to what else I can try the next time I see her. We've been problem solving via the phone and email since Mother's Day weekend.
I had the same problem with the same model. Just do a "soft reset" (push the "reset" button on the back).

Another thing to consider is whether you were beaming in a brightly-lit area. My visor won't beam in direct light. -- James Anderson

Thanks we'll try to sync with another Palm. Trouble is it looks like she's the first of her group of friends to have one. She says they are all looking over her shoulder with envy. She really needed something to manage all her Bridge games!

This is a famous problem with the Clie. A soft reset fixes it.

It'd be interesting to see if you mom can receive beams from another handheld. Mebbe your two just refuse to talk?
I have seen a problem where I was unable to beam a certain DB from a visor to a tungsten, though it worked fine from a visor to a clie or a clie to the tungsten. you may have to swap prcs the old fashioned way, through email. ;-)

I have two Sony Clie PEG-SJ22 handhelds and wish to transfer data from one to the other via a computer. I jhave used the infrared facility which copies data (like the whole address book) but then each entry/address has to be put back into its category afterwards which takes far too long! is there any way I can keep them syncronised more easily?

I have an SJ22 U, which has served me extremely well for the past 5-6 years. Unfortunately, it it starting to show its age, function is slowly deteriorating. I would appreciate info on upgrading and transfering info - possibly to a smartphone. Thank You. Efraim Leibner edleibner@msn.com
