I think I've given up on the BT sync...way too much effort. I do like the BT headset, tho.

I never had the on again / off again symptoms, but have been through this as well.... It took me a month to get it all to work when I got the Treo last summer - very aggrevating. Apple blamed the Treo. Palm blamed Verizon. The carrier blamed Apple... Everyone 'knew' their part was ccorrect. And maybe they were all right, because finally, it synced ... both to iSync and with HotSync to the Powerbook... but I had been turning things on and off again so often I had no idea what finally worked. It worked great for 6 months until I overloadd the memory on the Treo with a long video and had to do a hard reset and wipe all the memory.

There was the old 'in use' msg. again, but I got it to work again that eve.

Well, another few months have passed and I overloaded the memory again, had to do a hard reset, and thought, "Hey, no big deal as I have it covered...". The iSync came right back, but I cannot get the HotSync to work.

Its been two days and I have monkeyed around with it, changing everything I can think of, turning it on and off in every combination, and it still won't HotSync. Now, it won't even syn with the cabe, but will iSync to my Mac account.

I was pretty sure it had to be a problem with the Treo as I knew the Powerbook was unchanged, but now I've changed those settings so many times that I'm not sure where I am. Aaaarrrgghh! If anyone has figured this out, HELP! Please!? ;-)
