I solved a problem that was vexing me greatly with the help of a French language forum archive. I have translated the instructions -- I hope they may help someone else, too. This hint addresses problems arising from partial removal of Palm Desktop. Essentially, I am outlining the many, many bits and pieces of things that must be removed in order to sucessfully reinstall.
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).
ps -aux | grep Palm
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.
kill -9 ### ### ###
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./Applications/Palm/
