    Bought my first Mac yesterday. Loaded the palm software on it, syched, and did not like what I saw at all. Was not nearly as good a look or as useful a set up as palm gave in windows. For example, there does not seem to be a security feature. In regular Palm, I can choose to show or not show certain files. I don't seem to be able to do that now. The addresses are not listed strictly alphabetically. There is no place to type in the first few letters of someone's name to find an address. Bottom line: It sucks.

    Any advice?

    you may want to check and see if your device is compatible with os X's own isync...then you can use the built in address book.

    Yeah, you're going to need to take a look at Missing Sync. Frankly, Palm has completely dropped the ball on their synching software for both mac and Windows.

    Just for clarification, it does snync. It just that the format of Palm in Apple is terrible, not nearly as good as that in Windows. Would missing synch fix that?
