Treo 650 1.17 Cingular Updater Problems
For those of you with the Cingular Treo 650, if you haven't read, there is a new update available at Palm. If you happen to be on a Mac, you may want to keep an eye out for a potential problem. My particular Treo 650 was the "G" (Treo650-X.XX-CNG) firmware. When you download the updater and expand it, there should be 45 files in the folder. Somehow Palm managed to get 46 in there, the extra file being a dupe of the actual .zip archive! If you blindly go in there and attempt to update your Treo using all 46 files, they won't all be able to fit into internal memory, therefore causing your update to fail. Simply remove that extra .zip archive file and re-install the updates and you should be fine. Follow the Palm instructions to a T or you could potentially lose data. As always, make sure you backup before starting the process. Rock on...
