Sync oneworld timetable with Palm
I have always synced the oneworld timetable from my PC to my palm. I now have a MAC and I have been unable to sync - and neither American Airlines nor Palm support this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Doesn't OneWorld offer a "manual" version of their databases in a zip file?
I suppose you could check back on the website every few weeks and manually transfer the new database to your Palm device.

The oneworld website has a page for Downloadable Timetables.
On that page there's a link to an application for Palm - Macintosh.
This is what the instructions say:

Schedules: Palm - Macintosh
It is recommended that you first download the application to your Palm add-on folder before proceeding to flight schedules update.
We have posted a .sit file for Macintosh users (standard file compression). Please note that there is no conduit for automatic update for Macintosh users.

Serfty - thx, but I had found that, I just have no idea how to manually download the schedules - and they don't hint at how....

I'm guessing here, but ...
The part "Download the current flight data file to your Palm add-on folder." is done by clicking the Schedules: Palm - Macintosh.
This downloads a file called "onepalm.sit" - I guess you need to store it or its contents in your "Palm Add-on Folder" or similar.
A .sit file is a "StuffIt Archive" file.
Not having a Palm - Macontosh, I'm not sure where you need to go after that.
