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
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, then copy
the updated version back to your
computer. Or use your handheld at any
computer to access and work on your
files.
Benefits
• Quickly enter and update information
on your handheld and your computer
• Install 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

CHAPTER 3 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Handheld and Your Computer
Program memory and the internal drive
Did You Know?
The internal drive saves
information on your
handheld permanently.
Even if the battery drains
completely, none of your
information is lost.
Simply recharge to
access the information
again.
Your handheld contains two types of storage: program memory and the internal flash drive.
Program memory Your handheld includes 52MB of program memory for Palm OS
and information. If an app or information is located in your handheld’s program memory, you can
view and access that information, as well as information associated with that application that is
stored on the internal drive. You cannot, however, view the info directly using Files
File Transfer.
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.
Internal flash drive The 160MB internal drive works similarly to any other removable external
drive. 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.

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 palmOne™ Media, which you can use to
transfer photos and videos to your handheld. On Windows computers, Palm Desktop also
includes 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 or install applications
to your handheld’s large internal flash drive. To open a file on the internal drive, use Files and
select the file, or open the appropriate application and browse to the file.
®
Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook to enter information on your computer in
On Mac computers, use the Send To Handheld droplet to transfer photos and videos
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.
NOTE

On Mac computers, use Drive Mode to transfer info to your handheld’s internal drive.

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

CHAPTER 3 Moving and Managing Info Between Your Handheld and Your Computer
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.
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 vacation 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.
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.
