If you've never used HotSync Manager before, check the documentation that came with your PDA to see if there are known incompatibilities that might be affecting your system.
Check to make sure that the HotSync Manager application is running. In Windows, look for its icon (a red and blue circle with arrows) in the system tray of the Taskbar.
Make sure you have the right kind of connection, either serial or universal serial bus (USB), selected in HotSync Manager.
Quit HotSync Manager and restart it.
Lower the data-transfer rate by selecting SetUp in HotSync Manager's menu, then choosing the Local tab. This often works for laptops.
If you're using a serial connector, make sure the cradle is connected to a serial (COM) port that isn't being used by another device such as a modem or mouse.
If you're using a USB connector, make sure you have Windows 98 or later, and reinstall the PalmConnect USB system software to be sure you have the latest version. Also try removing other USB devices.
If you're using Mac OS 9.2 or earlier, go to the Chooser and make sure AppleTalk is turned off (Inactive).
You should also disable any other software that uses the serial port.
