iSyncing iCal and address book with Sony Clie (Palm OS) fixed!

Just one day after the my quick fix for the address book syncing problem the Mac OS 10.5.3 Update was distributed by Apple. Luckily, they fixed the problem with the sync of the address book with my Palm when addresss groups are present. Thank you - developers!

iSyncing iCal and address book with Sony Clie (Palm OS)

This was a hard one. Earlier this month I managed to successfully sync iCal and the address book with my Sony Clie. However, I recognized recently that new entries in the calendar or the address book have not be synced any more. The following error occurred in the HotSync.log:

iSync Conduit starting 5/25/08 10:15:08 PM

iSync Conduit: received NULL message, disconnecting

Some googling revealed a rather simple solution: the use of groups in the address book prevents isync from a correct sync. Just remove the groups (contacts will remain) and the sync is working again. However, I liked to organize my contacts that way and now you a bunch of contacts just in one big list. Additionally, I would like to use the Palm concept of categories (puts a label to each contact) within iCal, but I did not find a solution to that problem. I do not know how to access the category information from the Mac address book :-(.
