Congrats. I tested the Treo 755p on my Mac set up and it worked perfectly. It's the best in breed when it comes to Treo smartphones. I think you'll thoroughly enjoy it.

Thanks! So far it's been a lot of fun and I've only scratched the surface... not even. I am impressed at how intuitive it is.

OK, so back to my original question, I am on Mac OS 10.3.9. The phone and Mac Hot Sync'd but why do I need Missing Sync? Is that to import data from Address Book and iCal and the like? Also, I seem to have read conflicting things about whether Missing Sync supports 10.3.9.

You do not need Missing Sync to sync Address Book and iCal. You just need iSync and to enable Palm OS Syncing. Basically, this allows you to sync your iApps instead of using Palm's Calendar/Contacts.

Missing Sync does provide additional features. For example, if you have a removable media card in your Treo, it will mount in iTunes making it easy to put music on your Treo. It's more of an extension of capabilities, rather than a necessity. For bare bones syncing, Palm Desktop will suffice.

Chris, I guess my confusion came in where I set up the HotSync but didn't see how to sync iCal and the rest.

It's also very possible that after reading the MotoQ forums for a full week before buying the Treo that I am confusing everything I read over there with stuff here!

I'll go back to RTDM ;)

Just a quick little response on the downloading of iTunes music onto a Treo 755P. I was unable to drag and drop the music from iTunes itself, however, I had no problems dragging any of my music, purchased or ripped, from my iTunes Music folder (in "Music") in the Finder. Everything transferred and played perfectly on my Treo

Guys I just got a new mac with leapard os. The palm and apple folks are working to get the palm and mac (leapard) to sync. I did not wait and did the seven day free trial on missing sync. DON"T do that unless you want to buy it.

It syncs everything great. very easy. In fact it saves your texts and call logs on the mac. You can click on texts and they come up. VERY cool. ($39.99)

Sync your photos to any folder. too neat
