When you install the desktop software
from the Palm Software Installation CD,
some third-party applications may be
quarantined because they are not
compatible with the Palm OS software
version 5.4.9 on your smartphone.
Quarantined files are not installed on your
smartphone, nor are they deleted; these
files are placed in a new folder on your
computer: C:\Program Files\Palm\<device
name>\PalmOS5 Incompatible Apps.
(Can’t find a Palm folder in Program Files?
Then look for a folder labeled palmOne or
Handspring instead. For more info, see I
can’t find my user folder.)
IMPORTANT Do not synchronize your
smartphone with any previous versions of
Palm Desktop software.
1 Calculate how much space your apps
and info occupy on your previous Palm
OS device:
• In Applications View, open the menus.
• Select Info on the App menu.
• At the bottom of the screen, select
Size.
• Look at the numbers on the Free
Space line and subtract the number
on the left from the number on the
right to calculate the space used. For
example, on the device shown here,
22.4 – 17.5 = 4.9. This means that
4.9MB of space is occupied on this
device.
2 If the space occupied on your previous
device is 64MB or less, then go to step
3. If the space occupied is greater than
64MB, then do any of the following to
TIP
We do not recommend using third-party
utilities that back up your old device’s
information onto an expansion card and then
transfer the info to your smartphone. Such
methods transfer all applications to your
smartphone, including ones that are not
designed to work with Palm OS version 5.4.9.
