If you are experiencing this problem, make sure that you have no other programs actively running on your desktop as it is possible that the hotsync process can timeout if other applications are stealing too much time. If you are synching with USB and have the device plugged into a hub, plug it in DIRECTLY and not through a hub. A hub interferes with the timing and hotsync is very unforgiving and will often timeout as a result. If you have a newer PalmOne device, a known bug in the PalmOne DM Patch software can cause the Palm conduit (and other conduits) to hang on the calendar. In that case, download DbFixIt and use the option to Remove all Deleted Rec. and tap the EasyCk button. Note that it it is not necessary to register DbFixIt to use it to correct this specific problem.
