Why use Calendae?

Using Calendae as your PalmDesktop™ to manage your calendar and your address book: it enables you to view and back up data from your PC. Moreover, Calendae allows you to consult your calendar and address book from any Internet and WAP access. And you can share your data with other people in read-only access or full access.

How does Calendae synchronisation work?

Your data from Calendae is copied to a local file. This file is synchronised with your PalmDesktop™ application and reloaded on Calendae to update our database. The local file is deleted after synchronisation.
The transfer of your data requires a standard Internet connection (HTTP 1.0 protocol, TCP port 80) and access to it is protected by a random 128-bit password during synchronisation.

Synchronisation with the Palm Desktop™ application:

The Calendae team has developed this application to manage the synchronisation between your Palm Desktop and Calendae.
To start synchronisation, launch your Palm Desktop, then click on the icon at the top right hand side of the window. The synchronisation window will open.
For each application, you may choose one of the following 3 standard types of synchronisation for your calendar and your address book:
* Copy Calendae to PalmDesktop : your Calendae data will overwrite PalmDesktop.
* Copy PalmDesktop to Calendae : PalmDesktop will overwrite your Calendae data.
* Synchronise : all data created, modified or deleted on Calendae since the last synchronisation is created, modified or deleted on PalmDesktop and vice versa.

CalendaePalmDK synchronises PalmDesktop with your Calendae account. It installs itself on your PC. Since this application is going to process your Calendae data from your PC, it requires an Internet connection every time it synchronises.

Installing the CalendaePalmDesktop:

- Firstly, you have to configure your Calendae account: from your calendar, select SETTINGS, then select PalmDesktop and register.

- Take note that for computers under Windows 95, 98, Me or NT4, you require Internet Explorer 5 or above. If you do not have this version, you must download and execute the atl.zip file (update of a DLL system by Microsoft), before installing CalendaePalmDesktop.

- Then, you have to download the installation file in the download section.

- Install the software: the installation procedure, developed with InstallShield, will add CalendaePalmDK to the 'Add/Remove Programs' section in your Control Panel. Therefore, you can remove it completely using Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.

- Once installed, do not forget to activate your Internet browser’s cookies.
