Synchronizing Tungsten T3 with desktop or laptop

I recently re-installed my T3 program after some revisions to my desktop running XP Professional. When I push the synch button on the cradle, both my handheld and desktop tell me that the synchronization is happening, but when I look at my Palm program on my desktop, it is empty - nothing has transferred. I installed the T3 program on my laptop and get the same result. What am I missing here?

I recently re-installed my T3 program

What do you mean?

Did you restore your T3 from a backup on the PC?
Did you install programs on the T3 using the PC's "quick install"?

Is Palm Desktop showing the correct Contact/To-do/Calendar Data?

How are the conduits set up? (From Palm Desktop, select Hotsync->Custom)

Data Lost - Palm T 3

BACK UP YOUR PALM DATA! It is normally in C:\Program Files\PalmOne\XXXXXX, where XXXXXX is the first six of your Palm's User ID. If it is not there, the location can be found in Palm Desktop (Tools-> Options).
Is the correct Data still present in Palm Desktop? If Yes, you're in great shape, it should sync back to the Palm after a hard-reset.
If not, close Palm Desktop and look in the data directory. Some subdirectories (address, datebook, etc.) should have BAK files. If the BAK files are bigger than the DAT files, delete the DAT files and rename the BAK files to DAT. Restart Palm Desktop. Is the data there now?

If not, I am afraid you've had a learning experience. My Palm is synced to two different machines. One is running RAID-1 (mirrored drives), and both are backed up to tape weekly. Me? Paranoid? Naah...

Most people have to find out about backups the hard way.

Lost Data

Sounds like you've wiped all your data. It's a good discipline to keep a regular backup of all your Palm files on the PC so that if this happens you can restore the last backup and re-synchronise. I have had several Palm devices, and all of them have corrupted files at some point.

T3 sync with Outlook works except for Tasks

A hard reset of my T3 and sync with 'Desktop overwrite HH' on all Outlook conduits seemed to have resolved the problem.

'Reset' each time after hotsynching

Do you still have administrative access to your laptop? IIRC there are some problems with using PD with a non-admin account.

I would recommend that you back up the "good" backup data on the Laptop. In PD, Choose Tools/Options, the "Data Directory" entry shows where the data is stored (in a subdirectory that looks like the first six characters of the Palm's User ID)

Errors sync with Outlook 2003 and Tungsten T3

I did search through the forums before posting and the only "solution" I found was to buy Chapura PocketMirror for $30 which I refuse to do. I should be able to sync this palm with Office without having to spend even more money.
