Palm Pre 2 User Manual

60 Chapter 5 : Copy files and sync your personal data
These are the desktop apps that the DTA works with, and the data that the
DTA transfers to your phone:
Note the following:
• If you use a desktop organizer that is not listed in the table, go to
palm.com/migrate-webOS and click the link for transferring
Contacts/Calendar data from “somewhere else”.
• Depending on the amount of data you are transferring, it can take up to an
hour to complete the transfer of your data.
• Do not use the DTA to transfer data from a copy of Outlook that is
associated with Exchange ActiveSync, which wirelessly syncs data
between your phone and an Exchange server (see Manage online
accounts).
• The DTA is compatible with Palm Desktop versions 4.14e, 4.2, 6.2, and
6.22. If your version of Palm Desktop is not one of these, you can
download version 6.2 for free from palm.com/desktop. Install it, sync with
your old Palm device, and then use the DTA to transfer your data.
• If you use Palm Desktop on the Mac, you can export your contacts,
calendar events, and To do items into Address Book and iCal. Then use
the DTA to transfer your data. For more information, go to
palm.com/migrate-webOS.
NOTE You cannot use the DTA to transfer Calendar and Contacts to a Yahoo!
account. Instead, you must use the upload tool provided by Yahoo!. Data is
transferred from your computer to Yahoo.com, and then from Yahoo.com to the
phone. Data is not transferred from the phone to Yahoo!. For more information, go
to palm.com/migrate-webOS.
Get data from an online account in the cloud
If you are already using Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, and/or Exchange to
manage your calendar and contacts, then all you need to do to sync data to
your phone is set up one or more of these accounts on your phone. The data
syncs automatically. See Manage online accounts for information on how to
create an online account on your phone.
