It's been a while since my wife charged or synced her m500. The batteries
went dead, and now she can't sync. I've tried every menu looking to set the
Name of her Palm, but I can't find how to set the name.

My daughter is able to sync her m500 on the same computer & cradle, so I
know the sync works. We're using HotSync Manager 4.1.0. I sync my m500 on
a different computer using the same versions of all our software.

The error message in the Palm sync log says:

"HotSync operation was terminated.
Some of your data was NOT backed up.
An application on the PC failed to
respond to a confirmation query. This
application may need to be restarted."

I tried a hard reset after the battery was fully charged, but it didn't
help. I appreciate your suggestions.

My husband's m500 also stopped syncing, though his battery
hadn't run dead. My Palm syncs fine on his computer, his won't
sync on my computer, though mine will. He gave up on it after
trying everything he could think of to fix it. Now he backs up
to an SD card and uses a card reader to put files (mostly
books) onto his Palm. He's done the occasional sync to his
laptop via IR, but it's too slow to want to do on a regular
basis. Sorry 'bout that.

Look on eBay. Good m500s (or the identical, except black, IBM c500s) are
going for $20 to $30 including shipping.
