Ok I was a long time Palm user (Pro, III, IIIe, V, Vx, m505, m515, T3)...
Due to company pressure I moved over to a Windows mobile 2003 se Axim x30h for all my PDA needs.
Well things change like now they want me to use a Apple/Mac Powerbook, and back we go back to Palm (thank you, thank you, thank you?)
I now am trying to remember everything I know 5 years ago in reference to my GREAT T3 (well I like it).
So I first want to migrate all my appointments, contacts task's, notes, etc over to my Palm desktop / T3.

What do I need or have to do for this?
I also want to use my Mac Powerbook (as I explained above) for the syncing after, or during the migration.
I still have the ability to use a PC to start my move, and thought I could move over after the migration if need be.

I am sure there is something out there in the forum, but I did run a search on moving Outlook contacts, appointments, to Palm and came up empty.
Thanks for the help in advice.

I tend to use Comma Seperated Value files since most programs can export/import them.

No one knows of any program that will import all my personal info over to my T3?
Thanks

If you are currently using Outlook on a PC which has all your current PIM data, simply install the T3 to that PC and sync over your data to the T3. (When you were installing the Palm software on the PC it should have given you the choice between syncing to Outlook or Palm Destop. Choose Outlook if that's where PIM data is.). Now that you have all your data on the T3, set up to sync with the Mac and have the T3 overwrite PIM data to the Mac.

Alternatively (as mentioned above) export each one of your PIM apps (Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Notes) from Outlook to a format which can be read on the Mac. Then inport into Mac.

Thanks...
I found a application called SwitchSync Tungsten T3...
I was able to sync to both Outlook, Palm Desktop, and the T3 of course.
Now I have to try to figure out how this Mac version of Palm Desktop works...
Doesn't seem to automatically startup Hotsync like the PC does...
Anyone know about this?
