Chapter 5 : Copy files and sync your personal data 51
If you are already using Google, Facebook, Yahoo!, LinkedIn, and/or
Exchange to manage your calendar and contacts, then all you need to do
to sync data to your device is set up one or more of these accounts on
your device. The data syncs automatically. See Manage online accounts
for information on how to create an online account on your device.
NOTE Changes you make in your Yahoo!, Facebook, or LinkedIn account on
the web show up on your device. There's nothing you have to do. You can
change Yahoo! or Facebook contacts and calendar events, and LinkedIn
contacts, on your device, but the changes you make, or any new data you add,
are not synced to the account on the web.
Sync your desktop organizer and your device
If you want to continue using a desktop organizer to store your contacts
and calendar events—iCal and Address Book on the Mac, or desktop
Outlook
®
or Palm Desktop by ACCESS on Windows, and if there are
third-party solutions available for your device—you may have two
choices:
• Sync directly with your desktop organizer, avoiding the web completely.
• Sync your desktop organizer with Google on the web, and then sync
Google with your device.
Both choices require you to use a third-party solution (sold separately). Go
to hpwebos.com/sync-solutions to see if third--party solutions are
available for your device. If there are no solutions available for your
device, check with the developers of existing sync software for other
webOS devices to see if they are developing a solution for your device.

directly to your desktop.
