Using user profiles

IMPORTANT
an IT manager, you can skip this section.
Suppose your sales organization wants to distribute two dozen handhelds that all have a common
company phone list, a set of memos, and several key applications. A user profile can be created to
install this information before the handhelds are distributed to employees. When the employees
synchronize for the first time, this common information becomes part of their user-specific
information.
A user profile enables you to install the same information onto multiple handhelds before each
handheld is individualized with a unique username and user-specific information. A handheld that
has a user profile installed can be given to anyone, because the handheld is not yet identified by a
unique username. When the new user synchronizes for the first time, he or she gives the handheld
a unique username.
Only IT managers may need to use user profiles for their company. If you are not

Keys to success with Graffiti 2 writing
Keep these guidelines in mind when using Graffiti 2 writing:
Did You Know?
Graffiti 2 characters made
with two strokes are
recognized after the
second stroke. Make the
second stroke quickly
after the first so that the
correct character is
recognized.
Did You Know?
Write uppercase letters
the same way you write
lowercase ones. The only
difference is where you
write them.
Tip
Your handheld has tables
displaying all of the
Graffiti 2 characters, short
cuts, and commands.
Customize your handheld
so you can display these
characters by drawing a
line from the bottom of
the screen to the top.
• Write the characters exactly as shown In the following tables. Don’t write the dot. It’s only there
to show you where to begin writing the character.
• The Graffiti 2 writing area has two sections. Write lowercase letters on the left, numbers on the
right, and capital letters across the middle.
• Write at a natural speed, and do not write on a slant.
• Press firmly.
• Write large characters.
If you’re already familiar with Graffiti writing from an older Palm Powered device, Graffiti 2 writing
will be easy to master. Characters are entered in exactly the same way, except for i, t, k, and the
number 4. These letters are now made with two strokes, just the way you would write them if you
were using a pen and paper.
Also, you no longer have to use the punctuation shift stroke for common punctuation like periods,
commas, or @. Just write these characters on the correct side of the input area and your handheld
immediately recognizes them.

You can do a lot with your handheld on
its own: enter or look up a contact,
write a memo, keep track of your
appointments. But you can do much
more when you share, manage, and
work with information between your
handheld and a computer.
Your handheld includes a large internal
flash drive so that you can carry more
of your documents, folders, photos,
and music with you. View, create, or
work on files on your handheld, and
then copy the updated version back to
your computer. Or use your handheld
at any computer that supports
standard USB removable drives to
access and work on your files.
Benefits
• Quickly enter and update information
on your handheld and your computer
• Transfer and work with applications,
files, and folders on your handheld
• Increase productivity by having the
files you need wherever you go
• Protect your information by quickly
backing up and saving files and
folders to your computer

Program memory and the internal drive
Did You Know?
The internal drive saves
information on your
handheld, including
information in the
program memory, even if
the battery drains
completely—none of
your information is lost.
Simply recharge to
access the information
again.
Tip
To view the complete list
of Palm OS applications
on your handheld, go to
Applications and select
HotSync. Open the
Options menu and select
Conduit Setup. All of the
applications listed on the
Conduit Setup screen are
Palm OS applications
located in your
handheld’s program
memory.
Your handheld contains two types of storage: program memory and the internal flash drive.
Program memory Your handheld includes 55MB of program memory for Palm OS
such as Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos. Information in the program memory is updated
during synchronization. For example, if you enter contact information on your computer, you can
synchronize to update the info in Contacts on your handheld, and any future updates to the info
are included in synchronization.
The info for each Palm OS application—for example, individual contact entries—may be stored in
your handheld’s program memory, or it may be stored on your handheld’s internal flash drive. You
can view and work with this information from within the application itself. You cannot, however,
view any info stored in program memory directly using Files
Internal flash drive The 160MB internal drive works similarly to other standard USB removable
drives. You can store any type of file, folder, or application on this drive on your handheld. View
and access the contents of the internal drive using the Files application on your handheld, or view
the contents using File Transfer (Windows) or Drive Mode
manage items on the internal drive in various ways: copying, moving, deleting, renaming, and so
on, using File Transfer (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac), or Files on your handheld. You can also
use File Transfer to save the contents of the internal drive
Another method of storage that you may already be familiar with is an expansion card
view and access files or folders on an expansion card using the Files application on your
handheld, and manage your files on a card using File Transfer or Drive Mode.
You can also access the files on the internal drive or on an expansion card by opening the
corresponding application and browsing to the file.

Tip
If you have an expansion
card inserted into your
handheld’s expansion
slot, you can view and
work with files and
folders on the card in the
File Transfer window in
exactly the same way as
files on the internal
drive—copying, moving,
and so on.
There are two main methods for moving and managing information between your handheld and a
computer. These methods are discussed in detail in this chapter.
Synchronization Synchronization updates and backs up information between your handheld’s
program memory and your computer. Information entered in one place is automatically updated
in the other, and info in your handheld’s program memory is backed up on your computer.
Use Palm
applications such as Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Memos. The info is transferred to the
corresponding handheld application when you synchronize. Information entered in these
applications on the handheld is likewise synchronized with the application in the desktop software.
On Windows computers, Palm Desktop software includes both palmOne™ Media, which you can
use to transfer photos and videos to your handheld, and palmOne Quick Install, which installs
applications (PRC or PDB) for use on your handheld when you synchronize.
NOTE
and install applications on your handheld when you synchronize.
When you transfer a file to your handheld through synchronization, the file, such as a video, may
be converted for best use on (optimized for) your handheld.
File Transfer (Windows only) Use File Transfer to transfer files and folders to your handheld’s
large internal flash drive. On your handheld, to open a file on the internal drive, use Files and
select the file, or open the appropriate application and browse to the file.
File Transfer provides a live window to your handheld’s internal drive and copies or moves the
items you select instantly; you do not need to synchronize. Files remain in their native format and
are not optimized for use on your handheld. Unlike the program memory, your handheld's internal
drive is not automatically backed up during synchronization—but you can use File Transfer to save
the contents of the internal drive to your computer.

Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook to enter information on your computer in

CHAPTER 5 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Handheld and Your Computer
When would I use each method?
Did You Know?
When you transfer files
using synchronization,
the files are always
placed in the
corresponding folder on
your handheld—for
example, the Music folder
for MP3 files or the
Documents folder for
Office files.
If you transfer files using
File Transfer, save them
to the corresponding
folder so you can easily
locate them—or copy or
create your own folder
structure to organize your
project files any way you
like.
The method you use to move info onto your handheld depends on the type of info it is. Here are
the methods to use with the most common information types.

the Send To Handheld droplet icon on your desktop (Mac),
and then synchronize to install the application to your
handheld.

Tip
You can choose to
synchronize a Word,
Excel, or PowerPoint file,
even if you copied it
using File Transfer. See
the Documents To Go
application on your
computer for
information.
Did You Know?
When you transfer
photos and videos using
the desktop Media
application, the files may
be converted for viewing
on your handheld. File
Transfer does not convert
files, so you may not be
able to view the photos or
videos on your handheld.
Did You Know?
Even though photos and
videos transferred using
Media are saved in the
Photos & Videos folder on
your handheld’s internal
drive, updates to these
files are included when
you synchronize.
Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint
presentations Method 1: Use the Documents To Go
application on your computer. Synchronize to install the files
to the Documents folder on your handheld’s internal drive.
Method 2: Use File Transfer (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac)
to copy an entire folder structure of files to your handheld’s
internal drive. This allows you to keep all of your project
folders together with the same structure you’ve created on
your computer.
Photos and videos Method 1: Use the desktop Media
application from within Palm Desktop (Windows) or drag the
files to the Send To Handheld droplet icon on your desktop
(Mac). Synchronize to install the files to the Photos & Videos
folder on your handheld’s internal drive.
Method 2: Use File Transfer (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac)
to copy an entire folder structure of photos and videos to
your handheld’s internal drive. This allows you to keep all of
your photos and videos together with the same structure
you’ve created on your computer.
Music (MP3) files Method 1: Use the RealPlayer desktop
application (Windows) to transfer the files to the Music
folder on your handheld’s internal drive, or drag the file to
the Send To Handheld droplet icon on your desktop (Mac),
and then synchronize to install the files to your handheld.
Method 2: Use File Transfer (Windows) or Drive Mode (Mac)
to copy an entire folder structure of music files to your
handheld’s internal drive. This allows you to keep all of the
songs you copied from a CD together with the same
structure you’ve created on your computer.
