New NX/ First Time OSX Setup

[Sirfishalot]

Just received my new NX70; I'm pumped, but how do I set the first time on my Mac when the CLIE cd is for Windows?
I know I'll probably need Missing Sync at some point. Should that be the first thing I do though?
Also, If I buy the program will it allow me to install the other non-Mac programs to the NX?

Thanks:cool:

the markspace site (http://www.markspace.com/ms_clie_purchase.html) (version 3.05 i believe). after installing them you are ready to rock and roll (unless you are using entourage in which case you need to go to the microsoft site (http://www.microsoft.com/mac/DOWNLOAD/OFFICEX/palmsync.asp) and download the sync conduit and install it, then r-n-r).Originally posted by Sirfishalot

The version of Documents To Go that came with your Sony Clie is Documents To Go Standard Edition. The Standard Edition of Documents To Go is a Windows Only version of our software. In order to install Documents To Go on your Mac, you will need to purchase the upgrade to Documents To Go Premium for the Mac.

Due to the fact that you received Documents To Go bundled on your handheld, you are eligible to purchase this upgrade for the reduced price of $29.95.

In order to receive this upgrade, you will need to fax a copy of the cover of your_Sony Clie Handheld Manual to the attention of DataViz Sales at (203) 874-4345. Additionally, we will need to following information to register your product:

Name
Mailing Address
Phone Number
E-mail Address

Once we have received the above information, our sales team will e-mail you with instructions to purchase the upgrade. if it's another program, let us know which one it is and we can probably help.:D

I'm not sure if you are new to the Palm OS world or not, but just in case, you can use *any* Palm program unless it needs a particular conduit for a non-Mac platform. To install the programs from your Clie CD, just double-click the .PDB and .PRC files that you want. You need not run a Clie-specific installer to get these onto your device.
