Palm devices, like the Palm Treo, have been compatible with Macs since the days of Mac OS 8 thanks to the Palm Desktop. Now, as long as you have a Mac running OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you can connect your Palm Treo to your Mac with the Palm Desktop and iSync, built-in syncing software that comes with every Mac. However, iSync for Mac OS X 10.6 is not compatible with Palm devices.
Instructions
1. Download Palm Desktop for your Mac from the Palm website. Open the "PalmDesktopMac421Revd.dmg" file that mounts on your Mac's desktop file. Click on the "palmOneSoftware.pkg" icon to start the install. Click "Continue," agree to the terms of service and input your administrator password. Click "Install." Restart your Mac at the prompt.
2. Plug your Palm Treo into your Mac using a USB cable. Click "Home" and select "HotSync."
3. Open iSync in your Mac's Application folder. Select "Enable Palm OS Syncing" from iSync's File menu and click "Continue."
4. Check the "Contacts" and "Calendars" boxes to sync the Palm Treo with your Address Book and iCal on your Mac. Click "Sync Devices."
