Palm Sync Error, But I Don't Have a Palm!?!?!

i'm absolutely at a loss.
whenever i try to download programs on my mac notebook i get an error
message saying my PalmSync is missing.
i don't have a palm and never have had one attached to my computer, nor
have i ever installed anything relating to.
please help me if you have any idea what this is all about. it's
totally preventing me from downloading and installing any programs.
i greatly appreciate any information. thanks!

 

ok I have a Powerbook G4 - running OSX, and downloading as simple as
usual, i think. When I download, I double click on the icon in the
downloads window to install. It asks, "this is an application, ok to
proceed?" I give it my password, and begin installation. When the final
screen for installation appears, I say Install, and get the error
message: cannot complete installation becuase the file for the Palm Hot
Sync is missing. How else should I be installing? Have you ever heard
of this issue in a G4 before???

Thanks, Lindsay

when i download anything that i want to install, even Mozilla, other
free apps like adobe. same message, everytime.

 

*perk* Which Adobe apps are free?[/QUOTE]

The various readers and players they offer. E.g., Adobe Reader, Flash
Player.

 

Sounds like you saw a "downloads" folder and set your
browser's download preference to there, not realizing
that it is the folder from which HotSync (if installed)
would automagically copy all contents to the PDA.
