I recently upgraded my phone to a treo 650 and want to sync with my mac, but cant seem to do it, whats the isync conduit? and how do I go about sorting this out, I look forward to some helpful advice.
Okay, first things first. Are you looking to sync with your iApps or strictly with Palm Desktop?

If you haven't used a Palm device before, I would install the latest version of Palm Desktop for the Mac -- which can be found here.

I would run the installer and then try to complete a HotSync. You might want to enter a contact into Palm Desktop just to ensure that there's communication.

I believe that Panther installs iSync. You will need to install the iSync conduit. This allows you to sync between the iApps and a Palm device - which in this case is the Treo.

Something to consider BEFORE you do an sync using iSync is the permission fix. Here's a thread on that topic.

So, to recap:
  • Install latest and greatest version of Palm Desktop for mac using link above
  • Run the installer and perform a HotSync
  • If you need to run the iApps, you should consider using the permission fix. I would probably install the iSync conduit -- and try to enable Palm OS Syncing (you do this via a menu in iSync. If you have trouble, then run the permission fix.
  • If all goes well, perform another HotSync. You should see iSync come up and sync your iApps.
Hope this helps. Here are some useful references:
Palm Macintosh Support

If you have questions, let me know and I'll do what I can to help.
