Sync GoldMine with Palm webOS (USB sync)

How it works

CompanionLink Express and CompanionLink Pro are PC software that work with a Palm webOS app to synchronize data using a USB cable. GoldMine contacts and calendar sync to the built-in Contacts and Calendar apps on the phone. GoldMine to-dos will sync to custom Tasks and Notes apps that are included in our Palm app.

On your PC
Install CompanionLink Express or CompanionLink Pro on your PC. (SQL versions of GoldMine require CompanionLink Pro.)

On your Palm phone
Install our free CL USB Sync™ app on your phone.

How to sync
The sync is a two-step process. (Read why)

1. On the Pre, launch CL USB Sync, and tap the “Sync” button. This will gather the data for the USB connection.

2. When this completes, connect your phone to the PC and tap the “USB Drive” option. The sync will begin automatically.

3. When the synchronization on the PC side completes, disconnect the phone and open CL USB Sync on the phone. Tap the "Sync" button at the top of the screen. This turns the data received from the PC into usable information for your contacts, calendar, tasks and memos.

NOTE: Make sure the CL USB Sync profile is set as the Default. (See how.) If this is not set to the default profile, contacts/calendar you enter may not synchronize to your PC.
