It's not just a case of quitting Palm Desktop. As I recall, you ALSO
have to either switch to a DIFFERENT Palm Desktop file than the one
you're trying to sync with, or turn off the (I think it is) Instant Palm
Desktop extension (the one that adds the little icon to the right side of
your Mac menu bar listing upcoming appointments and tasks and frequently
used contacts) as IT has the file open....and thus you can't sync with
it. If you switch to a different file before synching, then NCU can get
to the file to sync since your "real" file is no longer open by Instant
Palm Desktop.
