Have a vintage Palm3x synched with a vintage Dell Inspiron 8300 desktop computer using XP. Recently aquired a Mac Book Pro with the new Lion OS. Is there any way to transfer the address book and memos from the old machine to the new? Apple recommended trying to transfer via a flash drive using the .csv format. When I tried to export the data from the Palm Desktop OS 3.0.1 to the flash drive, I got a message: : "Export error, *.csv contains an invalid path". Heard from another source that Palm 3X is incompatible with Lion OS anyway, and to try to export to Microsoft Outlook on the old Dell first and then to attempt to synch with the Mac from Outlook...
Any ideas on how this might be done, and if so, what exact steps should I take? Should I still attempt to sync with Outlook with .csv format? Tried this, but couldn't find the appropriate folder to export to - under the C: drive, there were only about 6 or 8 options, none of which seemed to have anything to do with Outlook.
