Download and Install

7. Download LifeDrive_Update_2_0_mac.sit
   (20.0 MB StuffIt archive)
8. Your Mac's web browser should automatically expand the file into a folder named "LifeDrive_Update_2_0_mac" which contains 36 Palm OS PRC and PDB files. If it doesn't, you will need to use a utility such as Allume StuffIt Expander to decompress the file. Note the folder location in which the decompressed files are saved. These are the files you should see:

   Important: Although you may be tempted to use Drive Mode to transfer these files to your device's Internal Drive or an expansion card - don't. The installer was designed to be transferred via HotSync operation only. Read on.

10. In the Install Handheld Files window, select the new user name you created above (such as "TempDelete").
11. Drag and drop the 36 Palm OS files above into the Install Handheld Files window. Do not change the destination to Secure Digital (SD) Card; keep it as Handheld.

    2. From the HotSync menu, select User, then Edit Users.
