I am unable to sync with my Pearl 8130 (Verizon Wireless) at all using Missing Sync 1.0.2. I get a spinning "Connecting to device" message, and then it just times out.

I am on Mac OS X 10.4.11, using a Powerbook G4. The Pearl mounts / unmounts fine in System Profiler, etc. The phone is connected directly to the Powerbook -- no USB hub involved. No combination of Calendar / Contacts / Notes / Preferences in the application seems to make any difference.

I've tried re-installing the app several times. Tried restarting with and without the phone connected. No difference. I've wasted hours on this.

I had PocketMac installed, but I uninstalled it using the uninstaller that came with it. (I also Spotlighted anything having to do with PocketMac and deleted that, for good measure.)

So I'm at a loss. Has anyone had any success with this?

I'm terribly disappointed with this software, and I don't recommend that anyone purchase it for use with the 8130 until these issues are explicitly stated as being fixed.

My latest error log before giving up:
