Installing Our Software
Installing on Windows & Macs
To install our desktop software on Windows and Mac computers, just unzip the files you downloaded upon purchase (your computer should do this automatically when you double-click on a .zip file) then double-click a file to use it.
Note to Mac OS X Leopard Users:
Mac OS X Leopard's built-in Archive Utility cannot open password-protected zip files. Therefore, to unzip the files you purchased open up Terminal and type:
unzip [filename] (which will then prompt you for your registration password)
Installing on Palm-Powered Devices
Installing our handheld software on Palm-Powered devices is an easy three step process. We'll walk you through the process step by step.
Step 1. Downloading Software
On each product page, you will see
a
button that will allow you to
download software. Once you click this button, a pop-up window will
appear notifying you that you have initiated a file download.
This pop-up window will either be titled 'Save As...', within which
you can select where you would like the file to be saved, or
'Unknown File Type', in which case you can select the 'Save File...'
button which will take you to the 'Save As...' screen.
Click the 'Save' button to complete the download process.
Step 2. Unpacking Software
The file you just saved will be in a compressed format (this makes the file smaller and easier to download). Before you can install it on your Palm it will need to be decompressed.
To decompress the file, Windows users can double-click the file (if you are using an older version of Windows, you can use WinZip). For Macintosh users, you can use ZipIt.
You will see a list of files ending with .prc and/or .pdb. Simply double-click each of these files to add them to the Palm Install Tool.
Step 3. HotSync
Press your HotSync button on your cradle or cable and installation is complete!
Removing Software
If you find that you no longer need a particular program (or are trying to conserve memory), removing it from your Palm is simple.
From the Applications launcher (main screen):
- Tap the Menu icon
- Go to the App menu and choose Delete
- Select the application you wish to remove and tap 'Delete...'
- At this point you will be asked to confirm your request. To do so, tap 'Yes'
- To return to the application launcher tap 'Done' and confirm that the application no longer appears
