• Palm Hotsync blocks Windows XP - Help!

  On my computer, Palm Hotsync crashes Windows XP.  It not always plant.  I think about half the time it crashes.

  Symptoms:

  I get a BSOD, with one of the following messages

  BAD_POOL_CALLER

  DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

  Crash report Windows identifies the routine incriminated as palmusbd.sys

  It is on a Palm Centro (AT & T version)

  I use Outlook 2007 lines

  There are copies of Palmusbd.sys versions on my computer:

  c:\Program Files\Palm\USB_Driver\palmusbd.sys size = 16640 bytes; update = Dec-04/2007, 17:10:30; last access to today; version 6.0.2.0 =

  C:\Windows\system32\drivers\palmusbd.sys size = 16509 bytes; Update = 04-Mar-2004 6:24:12 PM; last access to today; version = 1.4.0.0

  Since Palmusbd.sys interacts with Hotsync, I thought that I might as well tell what versions of Hotsync I have on my computer as well.

  C:\Program Files\Palm\Hotsync.exe size = 1 392 640 bytes; Amendment 03-Jan-2008 6:28:08 PM; last access to today; version = 7.0.2.0

  Of course, there are a multitude of EXEs and DLLs in my C:\Program Files\Palm directory.  I'm only guessing that my problem is related to the palmusbd.sys or Hotsync.exe.

  I suspect that the old version of palmusbd.sys is bad.  I am a Palm user for years, and this may have been in my directory system32 for eons.

  I already tried to uninstall and reinstall Palm Desktop and Outlook conduits, but it has not changed my situation anything but to make me a little more frustrated.

  I don't remember.  I did some time ago.  But I suspect it would not have helped, because the old version of palmusbd.sys has been in the \Windows\system32 directory.  That would be not have obtained ransacked when I reinstalled Palm Desktop.  I suppose at this stage this is the older version of this file which poses problem.

  I will try a reinstall and the trash all the program files related to palm, but I couldn't miss easily any dll or file sys that goes into one of the windows system directories.

  I can try again, and it can erase some other old files that might be the root of the problem.

  This time, I'll do the following and report:

  * uninstall Palm Desktop

  * Uninstall Updater from Palm Outlook Conduits

  * trash all under \Program Files\Palm * (a Palm tree and a directory of palmOne were left)

  * trash everything that seems palm associated under \Windows

  * palmDevC.dll

  * \Windows\LastGood\System32\Drivers\PalmUSBD.sys

  * a couple of directories under \Windows\Installer\{long key}

  * A file for read-ahead Hotsync.exe

  * \windows\system32\drivers\palmDevC.dll

  Reboot system

  Reinstalled Palm Desktop drive

  Reinstalled Outlook 2007 ducts Updater.

  I'll have to get back to you on that this solved the problem.  It will take several hotsyncs to disentangle whether she did it or not.

• Palm Hotsync is in conflict with XP SP3?

  My Palm Hotsync working perfectly well... until I updated my Windows XP with Service Pack 3.  Now when I try to sync, I get an error message saying that the connection cannot be made.  Sometimes, if I redownload the Hotsync, that will allow me to sync once, but then I met the same problem.  I am reluctant to uninstall SP3 since that has a lot of security in it, but nothing else seems to work...

  ... I did the soft reset and reset the system and followed all the steps in the help section of Palm.  I also spoke with a Palm rep who could not find the problem either.

  So, did anyone had this problem?  Was - this SP3 or something else?  How to solve it?

  Thank you...

  Just for fun, I thought I'd be complete and ensure that these USB ports upward on the side of my screen flat Dell still worked.

  NOT!

  Tried the ports on the front of the box and it syncs well... go figure... (and YES I check the cable going to the screen). Now I have to see why either the ports on the back or the monitor does not work.

• Palm Zire Hotsync problems

  Old Zire on Vista o/s computer.  While improving the old Palm software, I lost all the data on the desktop.  When Hotsynching my pocket with the new software (ACCESS) computer, all failed.  So I uninstalled the new software (ACCESS) and reinstalled the old Zire software from the CD I have.  It took some time, and then sent me error messages had not transferred data, contacts, etc..  Audit of the Office confirmed later.  Nothing there.  No help from the Palm.  Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?

  Have you read the sticky post above titled "Win7 and Vista sync instructions...". ».

  You have installed the file PalmHotsyncsetup of Pimlico software?  I guess that could be the problem if it is not installed.

• IR hotsync problem: "because the port is in use by another application."

  I finally got my system operation.  Sony Clie TJ - 25 pda, Palm Desktop 4.1, Windows 7 64 bit.  Very delicate balance.  I failed to install the new software released by aceeca.  I finally got it by infrared hotsync.  Several times.

  Now, today, I get the message on the Clie: "could not start the hotsync operation because the port is in use by another application."

  I saw this thread and in fact ensure that the transfer of images using a digital camera box is unchecked.  It still does not.  The icon hotsync in the lower right part of the screen, when I check that IR is checked, nothing else is.  It still does not.

  Thoughts?  Ideas?  Suggestions?

  Cidercat I had this happen to me with bluetooth hotsync before. I listen to radio, transfer files and surf the web with bluetooth. I could solve the problem by turning off the bluetooth, then turn it back on. Sometimes a warm reboot might also work. I came across a free application for the Palm tree named NetworkDown. It closes completely all active sessions down. You type right on the icon to run it. It works on my TX.

• 4.1 Palm HotSync not more

  When traveling to Paris I plugged my Zire m150 charger in the wall socket (with converter) and it appeared sparks and blow up the PDA. BUT later, the PDA is back to life? All data in the PDA is there and available. but when I try to hotsync with my 32 bit vista pc, it no longer hotsync, receiving the msg "the connection between your computer and Pocket Office could not be established. I guess that something in the PDA itself has been damaged. I want to recharge the PDA on the PDA hotsync software. I guess the pc software is ok... is the rechargeable PDA software and if so where I get it. I have the drive of the software provided with the PDA, but I guess that only loads the software on the pc.   WHERE can I buy a replacement Zire somewhere who would hotsync with my current pc palm data...

  To "recharge" the HotSync software, you will need to erase your device and perform a hard reset.

  To perform a hard reset: (Palm Knowledgebase article #887)

  http://KB.Palm.com/wps/portal/KB/common/article/887_en.html

  Remember, this will delete all data on the device.  If you still cannot HotSync (a great possibility because according to me, this problem is related to hardware because of electronics fried) you will not be able to restore your data to the device.

  An other Zire 150 would work, and once you did a Hard Reset on it, you would be able to load all of your PIM data and programs on it.  Given that Palm PDA are no longer manufactured, you would need to look on the net for a used.

• HotSync problem, no contacts or calendar syncs on Treo 755 p. Help!

  I tried to hotsync my Treo but can hotsync everything except contacts and the calendar on my laptop running XP.  How can I get the contacts/calendar sync?

  The problem is more complicated.  I was able to synchronize only once when I got the last Treo Sept 2007.  If new data (Contacts/Calendar) since then cannot not be sync between the Treo & laptop.

  Photos & tasks & memos synchronize successfully, however.

  Now my screen is cracked.  I have a new TReo, but Service of Sprint could not extract data more because they have said that the screen is cracked.  I am told he is only average sync old Treo, and then synchronize the new Treo to get the data.  Because I can't have my old Treo to sync contacts/calendar for the past year, I'm afraid all of my data is LOST!  Help, please!

  Thank you very much for answering.  I really appreciate it.  Because no one responded, I decided that I had to solve this problem myself 2 nights ago.  I just finally figured this out after staying up to 4 hours after midnight searching for the answer online & after going back & forth between the old cracked Treo to retrieve data & download on the new Treo.  I also called the Sprint technical support at 03:00.  I didn't know that you can call Sprint for it!  The Sprint Lady said the same thing after that I thought about it.

  I also found that you can remove the EAS account in your Palm Desktop on your laptop on the Hotsync menu, Custom, and then change the VersaMail conduit.  Once you click on the change in the VersaMail, you have the ability to delete accounts. (I found online of the ways more complex to remove Regional service accounts using the Treo, which he did not work for me).

  Once the EAS is removed from the desktop, make sure files synchronization is enabled in the VersaMail conduit to allow this info in the past for the Treo.

  However, I also had to play with the lines of contacts because it is automatically extracted from "doing nothing" until the EAS account is deleted in the Treo.  It took a few tries, but it worked.

  The downside is that it reproduces all the hundreds of contacts I had currently on the Palm Desktop on the computer.  I so had to go and manually remove duplicates & then Resync.  That's why it took hours.  Just go back & suite.

  Thank you very much for answering!

• Vitsa 64 Hotsync problem (3rd time)

  What no other body has ever had this problem?  Appears so because no one answers.  Well here it is again.

  Palm 755 p, Vista 64-bit notebook PC, HotSync manager 7.0.2 PalmDesktop 6.2.2 DocsToGo 11.0. When I HotSync the Palm to PC via bluetooth, not only don't HotSync crash if there are a lot of documents selected for synchronization, HotSync wants to create a new document with a name that has been added with name_1 or name1, even if there is a document on the Palm and the PC with the same exact name. How can I get HotSync to understand that I want just to sync my Palm with PC using the same name? And why HotSync crash when several documants are selected for synchronization?

  Thank you...

• Bluetooth HotSync problem

  I can't do this job (not the least of my problems is that the instructions available in the link that I found on this forum (ts = Palm_External2001, case, k = PalmSupportKB and http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New = obj(21382)))

  not reflect the new HotSync 7.02.

  I bought a Bluetooth USB Dongle (Interlink Nano Bluetooth Class 2 Dongle VP6494 by SMK-Link). I installed the Dongle, then I followed the instructions to set up my 755 p. When I look at the Bluetooth software on my laptop, it shows the ID hotsync of my 755 p (right?) when I had the 755 p check out the adapter bluetooth on my laptop, she found too (great! right?). I chose my laptop as the mode of synchronization (below the synch button) for the 755 p, then pressed synch. I get a message saying "Connection with the desktop using laptop computer" (the name I gave the bluetooth device on my laptop) it sits there for several minutes, then gives me the "the connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. "Message if please check your configuration and try again. I don't know what to try next. Any ideas?

  Have you changed the type of Bluetooth connection instead of sync cable?

• How to create a Virtual Com Port in Windows 7 for Palm HotSync

  I've just updated wo Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  Because Palm does not support USB synchronization under a 64-bit system, it tells me that I need to create a virtual com port for my bluetooth device to synchronize.  I can't understand how to create this port under Windows 7.

  Hi Sonmox,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  In the Sub in view of the link you need to download the Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager. This software allows you to synchronize your device Palm with your computer, for your info is backed up and easily editable on your computer.

  Visit the following is given link of Palm and configure your Bluetooth device.

  http://KB.Palm.com/wps/portal/KB/common/article/49229_en.html

  When you set up your Palm device to synchronize using Bluetooth technology, you create a 'Bluetooth partnership' between your devices your computer (also known as "pair" or "trusted device"). This allows you to synchronize your device wireless and your computer have to authenticate each other, every time that you synchronize.

  Follow the steps in the document to sync your Bluetooth device.

  Hope this information is useful.

• During HotSync problem

  It's on my desktop in XP, when I try to HotSync, I get the following:

  Cannot install the file: Video2.avi map SecureDigital (SD) (0 x 10006410)

  Install the map of synchronization failed

  HotSync failed connection is lost

  I do not have a video2.avi file on my computer

  Hot sync locked my Palm and I have to reset over and over again.

  I cannot hot sync.

  Help

  George

  It seems that the file video2.avi is trying to install on your handheld.  Go to your Start button, find the Palm application file and select quick installation Palm.  See if there isn't something in the install window... If Yes, remove it.

• Centro does not connect to the synchronization with Windows/Palm HotSync

  My Centro ceased to sync with my Windows XP computer.  It just does not connect.  Did the soft reset, restart windows, etc.  No problem in Device Manager.

  The value of sync with outlook on the exchange server data.

  Same Centro and sync cable fine on the Linux machine using gnome-pilot and lines of development to access the same data exchange.

  Assuming that you can navigate through your windows machine.

  1. open Device Manager
  2. when your device is connected, you will see palm os handheld
  3. click straight and say to uninstall the driver
  4 disconnect your device and soft reset it
  5. reconnect the appliance and leave it to reinstall the driver

  This will force reinstall the driver and also tell us if there are errors with the driver.

• Vista & Desktop 6.2 & 7.0 Hotsync problem

  I just bought a new Vista machine and I've tried to install the versions of Vista (6.2) Desktop and Hotsync (7.0), but when I get to the point where the installation is asking me to press the Sync button on my cable, Vista seems unable to locate the driver. Does anyone have a solution for this?

  I am in the same situation as you.  What I found is the there is not a USB driver for the Palm for Vista 64-bit platform.  Without this box, you will be unable to synchronize via USB.

  What I've found, is that Bluetooth is supported.  I have a USB Bluetooth adapter (~ $ 20) and used on my computer and set up my Palm to make a Bluetooth Hotsync.  It worked fine under Vista 64-bit.
