Does anyone know if there is a way to force the iSync to handle one way syncs only?

For example: I only want to IMPORT everything from my Palm. (Which also syncs with my office PC). I know I've found a way to go one way from the Mac to the Palm, but I can't find a way to make it work from the Palm to the Mac.

The last time I tried a full sync it put back a bunch of stuff that was previously removed and synched with the PC. (Not good!)

Thanks ...

Do you need to use iSync?

If you just need to copy your Palm data to your Mac, you could just set all of your Hotsync Manager conduits to "Handheld overwrites Computer".

I don't know much about iSync. (I'm learning right now) What are your needs?

You need iSync if you want to sync with Apple's desktop applications as opposed to Palm Desktop.

I like to use iCal (in spite of it's horrific to-do list) and I like the ability to sync to my iPod and my online calendar.
