PERFECT SYNC WITH TREO 650,
By
This review is from: Missing Sync - Mark/Space Inc. (CD-ROM)
There is no probelm synching a Mac G5 with a Treo 650 using Mark/Space. You may have to fiddle around a bit to make sure you are synching the right 'conduits' but this is simply a question of checking or unchecking boxes in The Missing Sync window. It's perfectly straightforward and I am far from experienced with computers or pdas either. This is a fantastic piece of software which transforms the whole Mac/Treo experience.

Breach of consumer trust,
This review is from: Missing Sync - Mark/Space Inc. (CD-ROM)
Markspace has truly breached "shareware ethics," if such a thing exists. I owned this application for far less than a year, but as soon as I upgraded to Tiger, it became incompatible and I was notified I'd have to pay 20 dollars (on top of the 40 dollar original price) for an upgrade. Customarily, shareware upgrades are optional unless there has been a drastic OS change- a developer has to _earn_ upgrades by including new features or improvements. Bugfixes and compatibility fixes, in both the shareware and commercial software world, are usually free.
And while markspace claims that Tiger is radically different than Panther, why did Pocketmac (the alternative PocketPC sync program) allow Tiger compatibility in just a free point release? Shame on Markspace for at least not extending their free upgrade cutoff time to 1 year. No one should purchase software with an active life of half a year. Markspace is abusing its userbase.

I know others have had issues, but mine works great,
By M and G (Dover, NH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Missing Sync - Mark/Space Inc. (CD-ROM)
This is a MUST HAVE upgrade for my Palm Tungsten T5. I did have issues getting the first sync to take, but once it did, I haven't looked back once since!
Pro: -Allows you to sync (back up) BOTH the internal drive/built in memory AND the memory card at the same time. Palm doesn't. -Communicates with Apple's iCal or Address Book. Now allows me to have only one Calendar and Address Book to keep up to date instead of two... nice! -I think that the sync interface is much more intuitive, as well is the file structure. -Saves multiple (last 9 or 10) back ups in your archive as different folders... WOW! -Warns you if you try to modify more than 5% of your addresses... helps prevent a massive mistake if you try to make one. A neat/nice safety feature. -Inexpensive download from the internet... buy it and have it right away -Allows sync of iTunes music playlist(s)... awesome!!! -If you have an iPod, this will sync OK once set up properly -Now that I am using iCal and Address Book, I have switched over to my iPhone seamlessly. I didn't have to choose between re-entering 500 addresses or leaving them behind when I switched. Con: -Bumpy initial sync required email tag with a specialist and a 4-day delay before I could use the program -Photo syncing requires another program you must buy ("SplashPhoto... see my review of this wonderful application for more) -You buy a digital key, not a CD (I'm old-fashioned... I like a tangible thing like a CD and manual) -There appears to be a crash/hang risk if you connect your Palm to your computer (or wake it) and then immediately try to sync. Through experimentation, we've found that we can prevent this crash/hang when we connect press any of the four buttons on the Palm (e.g. home) immediately prior to a sync. We believe this "wakes up" the Palm and makes it more likely to sync. We theorize that Missing Sync is set for a short time delay for the Palm to respond to a sync request, and when idle or just connected the wake time is slightly too long for Missing Sync sometimes. While this is a guess, this fix has worked quite well. -Does not appear compatible with iPhone (although compatible with iPod) -Memos must be cut and pasted into an iPhone compatible application (only applicable if using Missing Sync as a means to move your data from Palm to iPhone) Bottom Line: "Missing Sync" takes my Palm from 2 stars to 4 stars, but note that you really do need to buy "SplashPhoto" too. I think that this is a must have program, even if you only buy it to get full data back-up capability. Where Palm has dropped the ball, Mark/Space has picked it up and run with it. I used Missing Sync to import Palm proprietary-formatted information into Apple's applications and from there successfully into my iPhone. Highly recommended.
