680 + 10.4.9 + Bluetooth sync = NO!

[diatribe69]

Unlocked Treo 680 using Missing Sync and Bluetooth. Devices can see each other on Bluetooth.

Setup the Hotsync Manager and iSync correctly.

When I press the Hotsync button on my Treo it starts to sync (the little BT icon on the Mac starts doing its communicating animation). But then it dies before anything is transferred.

The one possible thing I did wrong is that I made the Mac a trusted device on my Treo. The directions on the Palm site specifically tell you NOT to make the Mac a trusted device.

So I deleted my Mac from the Trusted Device list and tried to add it again. However, no matter what I do the Mac shows up with the little key icon (meaning Trusted Device) next to.

I even changed the name of my Mac, but it still shows up as the old name on my Treo with the little key.

How do I remove the Mac as a Trusted Device from my Treo and start anew?

All things being equal, the Trusted Device step is the only step I 'screwed up' when trying to sync my 680 and my Mac.

You can try with BT Clean. "BT Clean" stands for "Bluetooth Cache Cleaner". It allows the user to clean up the Bluetooth pane of each and every connection.

This little software installs in the Palm's Preference Pane (so after installing it you won't find it in the launcher, instead look in the Preferences under "Other").

I don't know yet if it works on a Treo 680 but it works just fine in most Palm OS 5 devices.
