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:

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

re: syncing
Hi Chris
Thanks for the advice there, but I am still having problems, I cannot sync with my iApps which is what I really want, not that there is anything wrong with the palm versions, I just prefer my iapps, I installed the conduit and isync still doesnt recognise the device as being there, even though it has synced through the palm desktop so there is communication there. If i have to I can just use palm desktop, but I would prefer not to.

Awesome. Great to hear it.
Was there anything in particular that was causing the problems?

what solved it
I just went through everything again very slowly making sure I had done everything correctly and it worked, so I obviously left something out in previous attempts, the help from the palm site on syncing was a great help as well so thanks for the redirection there as well
