• Palm desktop version & clarification driver

  Hello

  I have a unlocked version of Palm Treo 680 not through any mobile service provider (that I just love, use 7 years now! and will continue to use it until it dies - if any company sells this device once again, I will buy it again!)  It's good I think it is even though I have an iphone and android also phone that are more for the consumption of information & media. Applications of PIM 680's Treo and taking notes, the keyboard have no parallel).

  With many changes in the PC world, I intend to update my PC but it takes to only get one that can run Palm Desktop. I've been through a number of messages in the forum and am a bit confused.  There are some different Palm Desktop version (Office 6 and 4.2 desktop and desktop 4.1.4 and I remember reading this forum for a long time that return this worm 4.2 is better than 6 worm) and different drivers (32 bit vs 64 bit those provided by Aceeca). In addition, I read in the download page of office of Palm Palm Desktop is not compatible with computers of several base units, IE, I assume that it refers to dual-core, quad-core including the basic series processors and new processors Atom Baytrail.

  If you would be grateful if we could fill the table below next to each type of OS, which is the version of office and keep as a reference for everyone so that when upgrading from their computers, they can have that in mind:

  Bits processor Palm pilot Desktop operating system

  I imagine that the different flavors of each operating system (e.g., home, premium etc.) have no importance have not created separate for them lines.  If they import, please add.

  Finally, I believe that, in many cases, 2 or 3 versions of Palm Desktop can run (IE ver 4.2, 4.1.4 6 Worm worm), it would be good if below, include just the advantages and disadvantages of each:

  Palm Desktop version 4.2

  Palm Desktop version 4.1.4

  Thanks in advance to the experts, and I hope this info can be useful to many people now and in the future

  Concerning

  With the advent of Vista, quick setup has stopped working.  That's why Palm hired a company to write a new version of Palm Desktop which is the option.

  Thus, Palm Desktop 6.2.2 was born.

  It has its share of bugs so.  Less customizable to 4.x, no Docs to go play back and tends to erase data if cut you your computer with the program still running!

  There are solutions to application installation.  I remember a program called 'My install' you place on an SD card.  Any file that you want to install can be copied in the folder myinstall on the map (using any inexpensive card reader connected to your computer), and then you run the program.  It will install everything what it finds in the folder as would Quick Install.

  Some simple applications can only be copied to the card and run.

• The Media button freezes in Palm Desktop!

  I chatted with the guys at palm, and I'm getting nowhere fast!  I have a Centro through Verizon and everything works perfectly, except that the Media on the Palm Desktop button crashes whenever I try to go into it.  It will say "loading" on the bottom, but he never goes anywhere, and the rest of the program crashes while I have to end up using the Task Manager.  I have Vista, but I don't think that should I need to download update Vista palm offsite, because I just got the phone about 2 weeks ago.  The two guys on the cat both try to help me to clear up my registry and then I had to uninstall and reinstall office, but all without success.  3 hours of cat made me think that they know what they are talking about!  Does anyone else have this problem?  And, if so, how to solve?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you for your help, hardbeatz, but I finally realized my problem via the service line customer palm (didn't realize it's free in the first 90 days of purchase).  It turns out that the media on palm desktop program is not compatible with Vista when Vista has the Media Center suite loaded on this subject.  Not sure how that affects him, but obviously this is the case.  I don't have a laptop with Vista that doesn't have a Media Center on this subject, and I can run palm desktop on it perfectly.  So I can just sync to two computers, according to my needs and they work a challenge to palm to do, too.  Thanks again for your help!

• Palm Desktop 4.2: Palm Desktop 4.2 on Windows 32-bit 10

  This isn't a question, some information for fanatical Palm users who might be interested.

  Because I have some old software I want to continue to use, I installed the 32-bit version of Windows 10 on my HP Pavilion 1d21dx g6.

  I used to synchronize my Palm Centro on a machine to Vista 32 bit running Palm Desktop 6.2. Because some very useful features (such as the birthday in the calendar reminders) disappeared in this version, after setting up 10 32-bit Windows, I decided to try to use Palm Desktop 4.2, the version supplied with my Centro. I am happy to report that I have installed the software, did a HotSync, and everything went very well [WELL, i thought THAT this was the CASE - SEE below]. Now I have all my stuff on the phone and on the machine Windows 10, complete with birthday in the calendar reminders.

  The only problem that I had was settting place pipes HotSync for some Palm OS with counterparts of office applications, but in any case, I was able to get the pipes installed by the application of counterpart temporarily running in Windows XP compatibility mode. Once the pipes are put in place, it seem to not need to run anything in compatibility, or administrator mode [WRONG - SEE below].

  I have not heard a lot about the 32-bit version of Windows 10, but I like it. I found that it is very fast, and I still have to find an old Windows application that she will not be executed.

  I found a solution that worked for me. I realized that something on my setup of Palm caused my Palm user directory switch between C:\Program Files\Palm\Username and C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Palm\Username, leading to duplicate reports, missing documents and the General problems of HotSync. I do not know what exactly triggers the switch every time (I don't think it was just the question of admin rights as I at first suspected), but I think it had to do with some of my Palm to be older than other applications. In other words, some were apparently designed or implemented to date with new versions of Windows in mind, while others were not, and HotSync Manager could not deal with that, because I had everything installed.

  In any case, everything started to work properly after I installed Palm Desktop 4.2 directly in the folder C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Palm\

  (Of course, in all the above examples, substitute your own "Username" username.)

  My thought was to avoid the switch between the location of the traditional repertoire of the Palm and the location of the user directory style Vista by installing Palm software directory in the Vista style directory. I have not experienced any important matter. The only minor issue I have is that HotSync Manager does not automatically start despite being listed in the Startup tab in the Manager of tasks. I'm not going to tinker with compatibility modes and privileges trying to HotSync Manager starts when the computer starts. It is easy enough to just run it whenever I have to synchronize.

  You will also need to consider the order in which you install your office-side applications. For example, I found that one of my apps should be executed only once with admin rights so that he could establish his lines. Which seems to trigger a change in the location of the user directory for another application that I use - that does not allow the user to specify an installation directory. I got around this by implementing these apps in the order that I mentioned, while the other user directory would not be changed after creating the first led her.

  Of course, my solution has its limits, but it works for my single-user installation.

• HotSync Manager does not have the Show user profile which is in Palm Desktop - badly conducted.

  I am running Palm Desktop 4.1.4 on my laptop XP Home Edition SP3

  I found that when I hotsynced many my Palm brand programs have not been not sync.

  Looking at my Palm Desktop, I found the users 'user' and a user profile. The user has no data inside (no contact etc..) Profile has my contacts and calendar etc.

  By selecting 'custom' hotsync manager is initially a field empty user with lines listed below.

  By clicking the user field concludes that 'user' but not the user profile that displays in Palm Desktop.

  In addition, the lines show items that have been uninstalled from the E2, six months ago.

  In Palm Desktop, if I select the 'user' tab up hotsync user allows a selection of "Custom" and "File Link". Slideshows custom the same incorrect lines as the custom in Hotsync manager.

  If I select the profile of the user on the ground "Custom" and file link are whitewashed and don't allow selection.

  When I hotsync my Palm applications to my my Palm desktop user profile backs up.

  I uninstalled my office palm of the laptop and reinstalled but it keeps picking up the same bad ducts and does not pick up the user's profile.

  I went to Vista laptop that I have access to and what he was able to successfully back up but I need what he is saved on my XP laptop.

  Looks like you need to do a clean tear and a relocation of the desktop on the XP machine. Uninstall the software and remove the PalmOne under Program Files folder. Then reinstall.

• Palm Desktop 6.2 vs older operating systems

  I have a Treo 650 and I believe that my OS is Palm OS Garnet (?) v. 5.4.8.

  Recently I tried to download new apps and they do not want to install it on my Treo.  I have several questions.

  (1) can I install Palm Desktop 6.2?

  (2) I will still be able to use applications that I have now or will they be corrupt or deleted?

  (3) are there indications on how to install somewhere?

  Thank you

  1. of course, you can, but if you're not under Vista or Win7 on your computer it makes no sense at all.

  2. some who depend on Quick Install won't work, and much older maybe isn't able to sync (such as Docs to Go).  Palm Desktop (by the Japan access) is a version without the features of the original software.

• Cannot synchronize with Palm Desktop

  Hello

  I had a Palm T5 for 3 years now, I've had recently updated computer and since then I can not synchronize palm desktop use. The entire synchronization process starts, but then it does not appear on my palm handheld. Also, I've never used outlook to sync, but for some reason, as my Palm Desktop info is recently visible in my outlook as well. I prefer palm desktop as I have color coded my info into categories. All the news that has recently been also transferred to outlook is not categorised.

  How to stop synchronizing with outlook and only sync with palm desktop?

  How can I solve this problem, I have to upgrade to another palm?

  Thanks for your help!

  First try to switch the pipes to Palm Desktop. (Start/programs or all programs/Palm/conduit PIM Sync / Sync with Palm Desktop) or insert the CD and select the change synchronization method.

  What happens when you synchronize? You say that nothing shows up on the device, do you mean that it shows no progress? The hotsync application open?

• Palm Desktop software showing only option Media

  I have a Z22 and a PC running Vista.  I used the Palm desktop for a couple of years without any problems.

  The only change I made recently to my PC is to install Firefox.

  The next time I open the Palm Desktop, everything like my calendar, notes, etc. were more on the desktop display.

  Only two elements are media and install it.

  Try to find the office, I tried to reinstall the software from the original disc.

  He would not, gives me an error and the output of the installation.

  So, I downloaded the desktop 6.2 since the Palm website.

  I see no changes, even as the media items and install.

  What is the next thing to try?  My Z22 was still my contacts and other information, but it no longer appears on my computer.

  Thanks for your advice.

  Celeste

  Two things to try:

  1. the next time that you run Palm Desktop, click the icon of Palm Desktop first and choose "run as Administrator".  Everything should reappear.

  2. turn off the "User Account Control" in Vista.  Start button/Control Panel / user accounts/turn off her User Account Control.

• T3 and new Palm Desktop on x 64

  So I was reading about sync on windows xp 64-bit and the site I googled said "UPDATE: the new version of palm desktop installs smoothly on x 64 so try that before this option Bluetooth set. So I installed it and it installed fine, however, I still can't hotsync my T3 - the configuration step where I press the hotsync button still does not work. I get the message unable to establish connection.

  So am I correct to assume that, even if this new version of Palm Desktop installed on my x 64 machine, it's useless because I still will not be able to synchronize my device?

  I have no bluetooth or WiFi card of the T3, so is uselss rendered it?

  Thank you

  Hello..  Welcome to the forums of Palm.  Your T3 can work with Palm desktop 6.2, but is not designed to be compatible with it.  You will need to do is to uninstall 6.2 and then install a copy of the 4.1.4e.  Now regarding the synchronization of your T3 a bluetooth compatibility so you should be able to synchronize. If your computer doesn't have bluetooth compatibility, you'll need to buy a bluetooth dongle.  I saw them for as low as $2 and more.  Once you have installed bluetooth dongle there are more information how to set up bluetooth synchronization in the thread of hotsync windows here.  Here is a link to this thread:

• How to copy the data from Palm Desktop on a PC running Windows 8.1

  If like me you still find the Palm Desktop data (addresses, calendar, notes, etc.) handy and use it long after throwing the combined capacity and 'sync', you can see this is useful.  I bought a new PC running Windows 8.1 and had problems with data transfer due to a problem as I understand it, which does not exist in Windows XP, Vista or 7 versions.  Here is a summary of a way to easily transfer data from these earlier versions if you have a USB flash drive (or Dropbox, Google Drive, whatever) very convenient:

  (1) Download Palm Desktop 6.2 or 6.2.2 to your new PC.  Give a user name exactly as it exists in the database from your old PC.  This name will serve as Office Automation to create a folder name of six letters (an abbreviated version of your name) to hold the data that Palm Desktop will turn upward.  Wait a few seconds for this to happen, and then close the application on your new desktop.

  (2) in your old PC you want to transfer data from, find the folder named "Palm OS Desktop" which should exist in 'Documents' under path of folder and subfolders 'Users' as > your subfolder name > Documents in Windows 7 (can also be Vista) or may be under "Documents and Setting" folder in Windows XP.

  (3) in this folder "Palm OS Desktop" search this subfolder of six letters of your name and select this whole subfolder and select 'Copy' or Ctrl-C

  (4) locate the same name of subfolder in your new PC (which will have data zero), delete and then 'paste' the subfolder you "copied" in the exact same location.  If you did it right, Viola!  Your new desktop PC should display all the transferred data, once you open the application again.

  Most of the same procedure works with PC Windows 8.1 (probably also Windows 8).  What I found different is that the subfolder of data created under "Palm OS Desktop} had 7 instead of 6 characters with a"0"(zero), added as the last character.  When finally, you copy and paste this subfolder in the new PC there so rename and add "0" for the Palm Desktop to locate these data.

  I hope this helps.

  Data in XP is located in C:\Program Files\Palm (or PalmOne) \ < your HotSync name truncated > \Backup.

  HotSync for Win8 has been available for quite a while now!  See the post at the beginning of this section called "64-bit Windows USB drivers for Palm Desktop" for instructions and driver downloads.

  Palm Desktop 4.x and 6.2.2 use different database formats - 6.2.2 went to .mdb as an extension.

  Best way to migrate data is to perform a HotSync on the new machine, or use the built-in in Palm Desktop Export/Import option.  Export the addresses and calendar files, and then copy those of the new machine.

  The import option to retrieve data.

• HotSync: Palm Desktop by ACCESS must be closed when running HotSync?

  I just got this Centro by Verizon two days ago.  I realized that Centro or Palm Desktop is updated if the Plam desktop is open or running.  If I close the Desktop and HotSync application, then the Centro and the office are updated.

  Is this a bug?  Or I have to change some set up or something?  The previous version of the Office Plam and Tungsten T obtain upated if the application is running or not.   I wish that the operation of the previous version.  Information, ideas, or comments on this would be appreciated.

  Older versions of palm desktop saved data after you he entered the office. Palm Desktop 6.2 does not have this feature, whenever you put data in palm desktop 6.2 it does not save data until you click on save and then get out of the Office of palm. This is the reason why you can not sync with palm desktop, open any data that has not been registered would theoretically not sync, so to keep him from causing any problems or missing data, it is designed to be closed when HotSync.

  If you need this functionality, you will need to go back to an older version of palm desktop.

• Z22 all data lost palm desktop Memo / can not recover

  Hello

  When I opened my z22 office program I got an error message saying roughly memo cannot be opened, it may have saved a '.dat' file but I can't find anything.

  None of my memos exist on the desktop anymore, thankfully, they remain on the z22 because it was not plugged in.

  I did nothing different than usual, I have no hotsync etc..

  I use firefox, windows vista home basic sp2 32-bit T1500.

  I tried to open the Palm as an administrator, but it changed nothing.

  Thank you

  Have you tried restarting the computer?

  When a computer malfunctions, there is always a chance that something might go wrong!  I can't guarantee anything across your screen...

  You could try the option "repair" in Palm Desktop.  Go to Tools/Options/tools and use the check now button to see if it can repair damaged databases.

  If it were my PDA, I'll try what I suggested.  If you have another Palm OS device handy, try beaming the data to the other device as a backup before you attempt a HotSync.   Don't forget to put the duct as I mentioned - "Pocket replaces Desktop" for the data you want to transfer.  Do not click the box for "Set as default" - you want this happen only once as a test.
