The Desktop Sync Software Does Not Respond to a Sync Attempt
If you can successfully sync at any point during the following procedure, you do not need to 
complete the remaining steps.
1.
Make sure you are using the USB cable that came with your Treo Pro smartphone or a 
replacement cable that has been approved by Palm for use with a Treo Pro smartphone.
2.
Make sure the USB cable is securely connected at all points (see “Synchronizing With a 
USB Connection” on page 48
).
3.
If your company uses Microsoft System Center Mobile Device Manager, contact your 
system administrator to find out whether desktop synchronization features are disabled 
on your smartphone.
4.
Make sure that all the files you’re trying to sync are closed on both your computer and 
your smartphone.
5.
Do one of the following:
Windows XP computer: Look for the ActiveSync 
 icon in the taskbar on your 
computer to make sure the ActiveSync software is running on your computer, and 
look for the ActiveSync 
 icon at the top of your smartphone screen. 
Windows Vista computer: Look for the connection 
 icon at the top of your 
smartphone screen.
6.
If you did not see the correct icons, do the following:
On your Treo Pro smartphone: Press Start , 
select 
Programs, select 
ActiveSync
, and then press Menu (right softkey), select Connections, and make 
sure the Synchronize all PCs using this connection box is checked and that USB is 
selected from the list.
