ANOTHER BS HINT
Sorry ppl, but this hint is not true. I've been working with this Panther/Hotsync Problem for a month now, and logging in as root and running the installer will not work on a fresh install of panther.
One of the things that panther has an issue with is creating the hotsync libraries in the /Library/CFMSupport folder. Even under root, the installer will not be able to create the files. The only way to get Hotsync to work on a FRESH install of Panther is to copy the hotsync libraries to the proper location from an install of Jaguar. This is why simply changing the ownership properties of the this folder does not allow a regular user to install the hotsync. After copying the hotsync libraries to the /Library/CFMSupport folder, re-running the installer (which will fail again) but it will allow you to run the hotsync. I do have the hotsync libraries if anyone is in need of them. Jake P.S. If you are attempting to get palm hotsync to work under a fresh 10.3, it is critical that you not try to Repair Permissions from the CD. After doing so, the installer will not even begin to copy files.

Sorry, but that just ain't so. On a brand-new PowerBook G4, I installed Panther (erase and install) from the retail CD's that came in the box, installed iSync, downloaded Palm Desktop from the Palm web site, installed it, then installed the iSync Palm conduit from the Apple site. Long and short of it? It worked perfectly.

I tried your tip but it made no difference. The [Palm]conduit manager quits 'unecpectedly' at the end, I can do a hotsync but files are not being exchanged from handheld [Palm 130] to my iMac & vice versa. While the hotsync is happening I get the following messages:
re: ANOTHER BS HINT
My God, I'm amazed how many people think, "if it didn't work for me, it won't work for anyone," or "if it worked for me, it will work for everyone." This is not a "BS hint." It worked for some people, including me. Nowhere is there a guarantee that every hint will work for everyone. Rob and the contributors work hard on this site and are not publishing BS. The hints are useful, and some may even work for you.

I submitted this hint because it does work for me, and has worked for others. I'm sorry it doesn't work for you, bu that doesn't make the hint BS. To say it doesn't work at all is the only BS around here.
