Developer’s Description

Sync contacts, calendars, ringtones, music and photos.

The Missing Sync works with Mac applications you already know and use -- Address Book, iTunes, iCal, Entourage and iPhoto -- to let you transfer and sync information and files between your Mac and Pre. And, you can choose what you want to sync. Choose which albums and playlists of photos, music and media to transfer. Select the groups and categories of contacts and calendars to sync. Choose the folders of files to synchronize. The Missing Sync offers you lots of ways to configure syncing of your files and information for your specific needs. Synchronize contacts and calendars automatically and wirelessly, via WiFi. Transfer and sync music, ringtones, photos, files, and videos fast with a USB cable. The Missing Sync for Palm Pre makes your Pre and Mac close companions. Contacts Sync contacts from Address Book on your Mac with your Pre. Add or edit contacts and the changes sync automatically. Music Take your favorite music with you. The Missing Sync works with iTunes. Don't just transfer songs. Sync playlists. Photos Transfer pictures you take with your Pre into iPhoto. And sync iPhoto albums with the Pre Photos app, too. Docs and Files For school. For work. PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents. Sync them all, then view them on your Pre. Ringtones Create ringtones from your favorite songs using the built-in editor. Or, use the included ringtones to customize your Pre. Calendars Keep calendars from iCal or Entourage in sync with your Pre. Sync your schedules - work, home, school and play. Video and Home Movies The Missing Sync converts and transfers digital video and movies for optimum viewing on the Pre. Podcasts Take your podcasts to-go. Transfer Smart Playlists of the audio and video podcasts you subscribe to. Proximity Sync Sync without thinking. Contacts and calendars sync automatically over WiFi when your Pre is near your Mac. The Palm Pre cannot play protected music, video or ringtones. iTunes Plus music, tunes ripped from your own CDs, and video digitized from DVDs you own will work just fine.

Complete piece of crap application
carolbschultzSeptember 8, 2010
Pros
there is nothing i like about this product
Cons
This product is a total piece of sh*t. It doesn't work properly with my mac and only worked when I first set it up.
Summary
I have spent countless hours resetting my Pre and syncing from scratch and it has never worked properly. For example, in Ical event duplicate themselves at the same or different times, "new events" just show up, or events don't even sync. Half the time their website isn't working properly to get in touch with support, once you get in touch with support it takes 3-4 days to respond (probably because there are too many people who can't sync either), and the advice they give doesn't work. The entire app needs to be rebuilt and re-released. They finally agreed to give my money back once I prove I've uninstalled the application. That's great except that I will have to manually enter any new info into my imac and my pre.
It's a basic syncing program. Gets the job done.

Pros
You can create a multitude of ringtones
Cons
It's pretty basic, not a lot of customization available in your syncing.
Summary
I am not sure it's worth the 39.95 or whatever they are charging for it but since there are not a lot of other options I have found it's what you've got if you don't want an iphone. I love the Palm Pre and wish some other developers would step up to develop an app.
Lousy, Frustrating, Waste of Money

Pros
I liked the concept...
Cons
I hated the reality that it totally flopped and I spent money on it
Summary
Bad.
Promises much... Ends up as a pricy ringtone editor!
alienco1016October 27, 2009
Pros
Graphic interface is attractive.
Cons
Won't sync calenders, won't sync contacts, unusable wi-fi syncing. Shows the phone is paired but can't find computer! What's up with that? Still waiting for customer support so I can't comment on how good that is.
Summary
If you own a Mac, the only viable working calendar and sync solution I've found is Spanning Sync. It costs $29 a year, or a one time payment of $65 for "as long as the service exists..." Whatever that means ;-) There is no sync or backup for SMS messages... my major communication format for business and pleasure. No sync for notes... voicemail... The Mark/Space FAQ and forums haven't presented any real solution to any of my sync problems. I can wait 3-4 business days for a customer support response or I guess I could PAY for a call to customer service, but why should I do that when I've already paid for a non-functional app? Well, I guess the ringtone editor does work... that's kind of a fun TOY! The media functions work well over USB, which is the only way to sync media, but that's best because media would needlessly tie up your wi-fi connection. Since i already own this app, I wish they would fix it... that would be awesome... if it would only deliver what it promises!
It perfectly works. great.

Pros
It worked pretty smoothly.
Cons
I didn't test this long enough yet. I am also testing Facebook Connect anyways, as well.
