Here's an exerpt from an email reply i got after asking Handspring tech support about the same problem:
We understand that you are experiencing difficulties hotsyncing. You stated that you are
receiving the error message "1852402768 synchronization failed". We will provide you with a series of steps to resolve your issue. Please follow these steps:
To solve HotSync log error 1852402768, do the following:
1. Go to the System:Extensions folder.
2. Find the extension "Palm Conduit Library" and drag it on to your desktop.
3. With the Palm Conduit Library file highlighted on your desktop, press the
Apple Key (command key) and Y (this is also found in the menu bar under File
| Put Away). This action should throw the file back into the extensions
folder.
4. Perform a HotSync operation.
This fixed the problem for me, although I had to do it again after a few hotsyncs. I've installed OS 10.2 (jaguar) now so I don't have that problem any more.
