 |  680 calendar sync problem I recently bought the 680, bypassing Blackberry, because I had Palm Visor calendar on the computer and did not want to have to buy 3rd party calendar software and reenter a year of future appointments. I use it in my small business. For the first several weeks the handset would sinc with the computer via cable but lately it refuses. A popup appears on the handset after several minutes saying the connection cannot be established, and no log entry is recorded. I have switched usb ports but no improvement. I understand the Outlook calendar works well with this device but again, I want to avoid having to reenter all that information, and Outlook seems to eat up too much power. Any ideas will be appreciated. |

 | Have you tried soft resetting your 680?

| You could also try reinstalling the Desktop and Hotsync software included on the disc in the box.

| Thanks for responses, guys. My son tried the reinstall once and it worked for a day or 2 afterward. He has gone back to college. I need something more reliable than reinstalling every few days as I am fairly illiterate when it comes to digital devices and I don't have the time to reinstall every few days. I have been wondering if this is not a systemic problem since earlier research semed to indicate a lot of people were having similar problems. Tha's why I came to this site as the most knowledgable. Please explain "soft reset" |

| Yup. I have had to do that any number of times because I loose internet connections and reset that way is the only way to reconnect. It sets itself but no help for the sync problem. Thanks, tho. |

| Boy do I feel dumb. My son reinstalled Palm desktop several weeks ago before he headed back to school. I just discovered that he forgot to turn on the sync manager. It seems to be working fine now. Thanks to both of you for your support. I'll be back to learn more about the 860 from this site. |
