Getting Entourage Palm conduit to install on Mac

[TimMcB]

I own a Mac desktop running the latest version of OS X. I have a new iQue
3600 that I use both for business and personal activities. I use a PC at work:
Windows XP Pro and Office Small Business. This includes Outlook 2003. I
have an old Handspring Visor that I have not used in years.

What I really want to do is figure out a way that I can sync files between my
Mac using Entourage X, my iQue 3600 and my PC using Outlook 2003. I can
get my iQue to hook up to my PC. All of the syncing seems to be going fine.
But I have not yet tried to sync using my Mac. I am afraid or erasing or
corrupting data on my iQue.

I went to the Entourage site and downloaded a conduit for Entourage and
Palm devices. However when I click to install the conduit I get a message
that says "Mac component plugin not found".

Questions:
1. Where can I find the Mac Component Plugin to use with Entourage and my
new PDA?
2. Is there a way to easily sync between my Mac, PC and the iQue 3600?
3. Are there any other alternatives other than setting up the Mac, PC and
iQue 3600 to work together the way I described in #2?

Thanks

Tim

Make sure that you've downloaded and installed the latest Office X updates,
which are 10.1.2, 10.1.4, and 10.1.5 (10.1.3 is unnecessary). They¹re
available from Microsoft.

Then, install the Handheld Synchronization conduit available at the same
site.

You should be able to use the software to synchronize between the Mac and
the iQue. You can customize the settings for the conduit when it is
installed. Launch HotSync Manager (/Applications/Palm/HotSync Manager), and
then go to HotSync > Conduit Settings. Select the Microsoft Entourage
conduit, and click the Conduit Settings button. There you have options for
how you want it to sync.

Unfortunately I don't have experience using a PDA with multiple machines, so
I can't advise you on that.
