How to sync Palm Treo 650 with Virtual PC 7
PalmTreo650
running under MAC OS 10.3.x?
I have a iMac g5 with virtual pc 7 running. I am trying to get my treo
650 to sync with Palm Desktop running with under Virtual PC 7. I've
loaded the Palm desktop, and when I press the hotsync button on the
palm, virtual pc does the little "bloop" recognizing something is
connected, but hotsync never starts up.
I am NOT a techie, so a layman's version of any solution would be
greatly appreciated!!
Happy Holidays....

Gotta ask.
Why bother? My Treo 650 syncs fine under OSX to the Palm Desktop and
iSync. Is there something that you need that is only available under
Windows?

Interesting. Sounds like we're doing the same thing. I also run
Quicken for Windows under VPC. It's too bad they haven't come up with
an easy way to port years of Quicken for Windows to the Mac. Quicken is
the only reason I run Windows anymore. I never bothered with Pocket
Quicken, I just record my receipts everyday.

like it's a good product. Hopefully someone can tell us how to sync
under os x and vpc!

I’m in the same boat. I’ve seen on other sites that it is possible
but its difficult to configure the ports correctly. One person stated
’they took their computer down to the apple store and a tech did it
for them’. I’ve been working on mine all day and I’m stumped. If
anyone know the secret... please help.

I found this on another site: "Virtual PC on a Mac Sync, I’m sending
this for other who need to sync with Virtual PC on their Mac. This is
how I did it.I’m have the following sys Mac G5 OS 10.4.2 Virtuall PC
7.02 using Windows XP pro, I have a Treo 650 Cingular. I put a Belkin
USB Bluetooth Adapter F8T001 into a USB port on the G5 (not thru a
hub) - pair USB Adapter with your Mac. You will need to pair your Treo
650 to the Bluetooth adapter on the G5. After you pair Treo 650 with
Mac then Go into the Bluetooth preferences on the Mac and Add a serial
port and select the Type to be RS-232. Then go in the Virtual PC
application go to the drop down menu - PC - and drop down to select PC
Settings... on the PC Settings window select COM2 Port and make select
the radio button for Mac Serial Port - then make the Type to be
Bluetooth PDA sync - tell it OK. Then go to Windows XP and select your
HotSync Manager (bottom right icon) and go up and select Local, then
go up on the icon menu bar again to Setup and select the Local Tab &
make it COM2 set your speed to 9600 for the 1st time, 19200 is the
fastest I could get it to go, 9600 may be better for data backups.
Don’t forget to tell you Mac HotSync software NOT TO SYNC or your Mac
HotSync will take over. On your handheld you will need to get to the
HotSync screen then tap on the menu button (just above the Red End
button & the Mail button). On the Options menu to to Connection &
select the computer your paired with. Tap on the Edit button Connect
to should be PC, Via needs to be Bluetooth, then Tap the Details
button Speed set to 9600 and Flow Ctl is Automatic. Then OK and Done
buttons your way back to the HotSync screen. Give it a try. You will
be syncing via BLUETOOTH. It worked for me."
I did something similar and use com 1 at a very low speed (9600). I
went in to vpc settings and configued com port 1 to use my apple
bluethooth. The header is Bluethooth-PDA-sync. Then you must go in to
Hotsync - setup - local - select com port 1 and I use the slowest
speed (9600) and It work slowly. When I tried to use a faster speed,
Hotsync crashed.
Good luck.

Love my 650, but thankfully never have needed to sync with any non Mac
programs.

to talk to my Macintosh via the Windows software that came
with the phone!
I thought this should be one of the FAQs in Virtual PC...
... when the Mac detects a Bluetooth device, Virtual PC may
elect to map it to a serial port on the virtual PC. This is
how I got the phone's software to talk to the phone... via
COM1:
COM1 -> Bluetooth-Serial -> Phone
I bet that the takeover of the Bluetooth interface is what gives
so many Virtual PC users headaches!!!
