downloading games to a pda with a Mac

Oct 22, 2005 5:21AM PDT

I have a Mac Mini and am new to the Apple family----I am trying to learn how to use all that is availble with the Mac
I purchased a Zire 31 PDA and have tried to Sync a game that I bought and I cannot get it to download from the computer to the pda---
I have contacted Palm and tried what they said but it still gives me an
error message that says "you do not have sufficient priviledges to access the file, folder or volume" has anybody had this same issue?
what did you do?
Thanks

Does the error message refer to the lack on privileges on the Mini or on the Zire?
Theoretically, you should have Admin rights on your mini, and Zire, but this is not necessarily so.
Have you been able to sync anything to the Zire?

I have not tried to download anything to the zire except for this game
and the message read exactly
"you do not have sufficient priviledge to access the file, folder or volume"
I will try to download some calendar items this weekend and see if I can
I have not tried that yet---
I will let you know though

Thank you for P for replying to me

I finally had a little time to add other into to the Zire
It took it just fine when I hotsync----no messages or anything

So--I don't know what is stopping it from taking the game

MIMIGIRL---frustrated as can be

Maybe the game

is not suitable, or is corrupt.
Try downloading again from the site you got it from

How are you loading the game?
Oct 31, 2005 12:46AM PST

Can you tell us how you are loading the game? Normally the game is installed during a hot sync. And is the game compatible with the 31? I have a Zire 71 & a Zire 31 and a lot of games I download for the 71 will not run on the 31. I've never seen that message, but if I knew exactly what step you were doing when you got it, I might be able to help.
