karlita-karlita Posted October 26, 2006 at 08:24 AM Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 at 08:24 AM i just bought a palm tx here in china to use it together with plecodict. now i found out, that the chinese palms come without mac software to install. as my computer is a mac, the palm wouldn't much of use for me if i couln't fix that problem... does anyone of you have any idea what to do? please help me...otherwise i spent a lot of money for something that's just useless for me and I doubt the shop will take it back... I'd be happy about every idea that comes up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted October 26, 2006 at 10:10 AM Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 at 10:10 AM Palm Desktop for Mac should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randall_flagg Posted October 26, 2006 at 10:13 AM Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 at 10:13 AM http://www.palm.com/us/macintosh/ Looks like it should work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badr Posted October 27, 2006 at 03:31 AM Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 at 03:31 AM yeah.. bloody Palm Asia does not officially support macs. They are however the same as their western counterparts and the palmdesktop works fine. Don't forget to get the isync palm conduit from apple's website so that you can sync your address book and ical instead of using palm's built-in calendar and address book. This lack of support is really nasty when it comes to the Lifedrive and the treo series because the Asian editions separate patches from the western ones and you can only apply them using a PC.

karlita-karlita Posted October 27, 2006 at 05:07 AM Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 at 05:07 AM thank you all very much... it looks as if I could now fix this annoying problem. but one more question about it: do you know if my palm will also support chinese characters if I download the mentioned software from the us palm website? will it lack any important software features when it comes to using it with plecodict?

roddy Posted October 27, 2006 at 05:24 AM Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 at 05:24 AM Should be no problem. As you bought it in China you should have both CJKOS and PenPower installed on the handheld already, which is all you need for Chinese stuff. The desktop software simply allows you to transfer stuff between your computer and the Palm. Plus Plecodict is self-contained and does't require either CJKOS and PenPower anyway.
