After upgrading to Tiger, I tried to reinstall Palm Desktop. I kept getting errors like these:
The Application "Transport Monitor" could not be
launched due to a shared library error:
"B<Transport Monitor><Transport Monitor><HotsynLib.PPC><>"
The application "Transport Monitor" could not be
launched because of a shared library error:
"h<Transport Monitor><Transport Monitor><HotSyncLib.PPC>
<__ct_ _16CTransportRelMacFP18OpaqueT ransportRefUc>"
I solved the problem (in 10.4, Tiger) by following these directions. Unfortunately, they are in French, so I will translate.Note that this method is used when everything is screwy and you need to toally reset your syncing/Palm. It will eliminate all of your preferences in iSync, as well as removing all Palm stuff. You will need to reinstall Palm Desktop when you're done (as well as Missing Sync, including the serial number, if applicable).
- Use Terminal to kill all Palm Processes. In the Terminal window, type:
You will be given a list of running processes that are related to Palm software. On the far left, you will see your username followed by Process ID Numbers (PIDs). If you Use missing Sync, you will see root followed by a PID.ps -aux | grep Palm
Now type:
Substitute your PIDs for each of the ### in the above example. If you use Missing Sync, you will need to kill that PID with sudo kill -9 ###, followed by your password.kill -9 ### ### ### - Trash All of the following files:
The ~/ above is a shortcut for your user's folder./Applications/Palm/ /Library/Application Support/Palm Desktop /Library/Application Support/Palm HotSync /Library/CFMsupport/Palm Conduit Licrary /Library/Preferences/com.markspace.missingsync.palmos.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.palm.hotsync.plist ~/Library/Preferences/ com.palm.PalmDesktopinstaller. plist ~/Library/Preferences/ com.palm.PalmDesktopsetup.plis t ~/Library/Preferences/ Palm Desktop Info ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.isync.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.markspace.missingsync.palm os.plist ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.palm.HS.T.PC.0030656cef6a.plist ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.palm.HS.T.S.0030656cef6a.plist ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.palm.HS.T.USB.0030656cef6a.plist ~/Library/Documentation/Help/ ~/Library/Applic ation Support/Palm HotSync HotSyncManager Help - IMPORTANT: This step erases your user data for Palm Desktop -- Photos, Voice recordings, Palm Calendar, etc. If you use Palm Desktop, you should figure out how to back this stuff up before you continue. I don't know, because I don't use it.
/Users/yourname/Documents/Palm / - Use Spotlight/Finder search to search for "Palm Hotsync." If any folders show up, throw them out.
- Empty the trash while holding down the option key.
- If you use Missing Sync, run the "Uninstaller Installer" in /Applications/Missing Sync/ -- this will uninstall what's left of Missing Sync.
- Restart
- If you want Palm Desktop, reinstall using the latest version. Restart.
- Reinstall Missing Sync if necessary. Restart.
- Launch /Applications/Palm/HotSync Manager, create a new user, and sync one time.
- Launch iSync and choose Devices -> Enable Palm OS Syncing, and do what it tells you.
- Launch Missing Sync and double-click the "iSync Conduit" to enable for this device. Sync with the button on your Palm.
