I'm new to Palm. How do put a .prc program on treo 650p? Don't have the manual on me.
You have the palm software installed on your PC, right? Double click the prc. Tell it you want to install it. Sync.
That's the thing. I haven't done it. Just got it not too long ago. Don't even know how to get a program on the thing. Just went to Palm website and got the Palm desktop / Hot Sync Manager. So I'll install it, but beyond that, what do I do?
After you install the hot sync manager, it should create a folder somewhere on your comp with all your program files (the programs currently on the pda will transfer to that folder). I can't remember what the file extension is for palm programs, but google that, find the other programs, then try saving your new program in that folder. If it's a palm program it should already have the correct extension. Then sync again and see if it appears in your program list.
At least, I've been able to install programs to my old PalmII, III and my clie in that hack fashion. I'm not sure if treos are different.
WoW! That was coo! Thanks iwz and web. I wanna put loads more programs on now.
It worked?!
Yeh, well I didn't have to bother with all of that completely. I already had the prc program on saved on my desktop that I wanted on the Palm. After d'ling the PalmDesktop/HotSync Mgr from their website and installing it, the prc file on my computer's desktop automatically became associated, and I connected the Palm to the computer, double click the icon for the program on the desktop, did HotSync a second time... now I'm getting confused describing steps that worked and I'm rambling... I'm not feeling well. But, anyway, I'm in business, so thanks for the help that lead me there. And within this time got calls for 2 interviews next week.
Awesome!
Yeh, could have one of them tomorrow, but my cold is so bad, had to ask for postponement. Hopefully, I don't loose the chance at it now.
