Hello to all visitors!
This procedure involves modifying the files inside contents of application packages. If you're uncomfortable with this, there isn't much you can do, I guess.
Anyway, before you begin, you'll need, at the very least, an application called USB Prober. This app is made by Apple and is part of the Developer Tools (Mac OS X 10.0, 10.1, 10.2) and XCode (10.3, 10.4), both of which are available for free from Apple's [http://developer.apple.com developer website]. If you'd like just the app and have no need for the rest of the tools, you can get it on its own from [[:Image:usbprober.app.zip|here]].
In addition, a property-list/XML editor would be ''very useful''. While it's not necessary, it makes the task a hell of a lot easier than using TextEdit. As part of the developer tools mentioned, an application called Property List Editor nicely does the job. Just like USB prober, you can get it as part of the whole developer tools package, or just download it [[:Image:ple.zip|here]].
**Save this file as well.
*Now, logout and log back in. Plug in the USB cable into your Clié, then into your computer, and start a Cable/cradle HotSync from the handheld. Just make sure that USB is checked off as a connection option in Hotsync Manager on the computer. If it still doesn't work, try restarting your computer with the USB cable ''unplugged''.
