Hi list,
With the help of a lot of you, I'm now up and running on my new tibook. I feel like I'm in one of those Microsoft ads with a PC and Mac sitting by a pool sipping on ice teas.. :/
Anyhow, ho do you install palm .prc files through a mac?
I'm running OS X 10.2.3, Palm Desktop 4 (hotsync manager only) and Missing Sync 3.0
Thanks much,
YASwitcher

Load up Palm Desktop 4 and you'll find a menu option to load .prc files.
Kinda stoopid to put it there, but for some reason that's what Palm did when writing the Mac version.  Fortunately, loading up Palm Desktop just for installing files doesn't interfere with whatever address book app you use. (I run Entourage.)

Yeah... Eug is right. Under the "HotSync" menu in either the hot sync manager or palm desktop you'll find "Install Handheld Files...". That's where it's at.

great, thanks much for the replies!
one more question since i got you guys here. is there a good address search app? the built-in search doesn't allow me to search both company and names at the same time.
thanks again.

Easier way to install apps. Double-Click on the prc (as long as prc is mapped to be palm software)

Yep, thats how I do it. I have all .prc and .pdb files maped to the HotSync Manager, also you can just drop any files you want to install in the folder ~/Username/Documents/Palm/Users/PalmUserName/Files to Install. That works well with the Missing Sync Software for exporting files from iPhoto into Photo Stnad on the Clie. Just export straight to the Files to Install folder.

Good point. My TiBook hijacks the files with Graphic Converter. I will change this.
