Download and Install

  1. Download: Treo_650_Updater_1_12.sit (8.3MB StuffIt Archive file)
  2. Your Mac's web browser should automatically expand the file into a folder named "Treo 650 Updater" which contains 35 Palm OS files. If your Mac's web browser does not expand the file automatically, you will need to use an expansion utility such as Allume StuffIt Expander to decompress the file. Note the folder location in which the decompressed files are saved.
  3. Double click one of the 35 Palm OS files that were decompressed. The Install Handheld Files window will open, with that file in the list. If asked, select your Treo 650's user name from the list.
  4. Select All files in the Treo 650 Update folder and drop them in the Install Handheld Files window.
  5. Perform a HotSync operation. The update process will auto start immediately after the completion of HotSync. Please do not remove your power cable during the update process.
  6. Important: You must do these steps, or the updater will be re-installed on your device every time you perform a HotSync operation:
