Hi!

I synchronized a very old Palm Treo 680 to the latest Palm Desktop in
updated Mac OS X 10.5.8. However, I cannot find its old photos as shown
in http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/31573_en.html ...
I was able to find them on an old computer with Windows 2000 SP4. Am I
missing something? Settings look correct in Palm Desktop.

Thank you in advance. :)

Huh? Where do you see that? I see:

"... Item Where saved Location on Mac after HotSync
Photos Internal memory

Treo 700p, 680:
Mac HD : Users : (Mac user name) : Pictures : Palm Photos : (Palm device
name) : Internal

Treo 650:
Home : Pictures : palmOne Photos : (Palm device user name) : Internal
Expansion card


Treo 700p, 680:
Mac HD : Users : (Mac user name) : Pictures : Palm Photos : (Palm device
name) : Expansion card..."

No third party. Just Palm Desktop.

Yeah on its forum, but it's pretty quiet. It is probably because Treo
680 is very old, Palm is pretty much dead, etc. Oh well. :(
