• 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.

• Successful HotSync but no information from Palm Desktop.

  Wireless Hotsync "completed", but there is no information in my Palm Desktop, no contact, no notes, no tasks, etc., although this information is in the Palm Pilot. I have Windows 7, 64 bit computer laptop.  HotSync wireless worked well in the past.  Just started this problem a couple of days.  HotSync Manager version 7.0.2.  Palm Desktop version 6.2.2.  I have a backup file on my laptop but don't know how to restore the desktop.  Any suggestions?  Thanks, PNeely

  I suggest you download an extractor free files like 7-zip or WinZip.

  Maybe after installation, any registry that are problems will be straightened.

• Convert data from Palm Desktop to Outlook?

  Is it possible to convert the data for my wife and my Palm Centros currently with Palm Desktop to Outlook 2007? I hope that there is an automated process available, although I don't see anything in a (admittedly quick) look on the Palm website. Any tips? Suggestions? Is there a third-party tool? I expect to simply do a conversion at once...

  TIA-

  Ken Mayer

  hirschv, have a look here on your PC:

  Start button / all programs/Palm/PIM led Sync / syncing with Outlook.

  This is the 'switch' that redirects your Centro to Outlook data.    Palm Desktop by Access 6.2.2 conducted Outlook 2007 integrated into the program, but the version 4.x is not and will require a patch to download first on the Palm support pages:

• How to import from outlook tol Palm Desktop (*.dba)?

  I lost my (Palm Vx) hardware, but I have all my data on my computer (Windows XP). Can´t Outlook Import *.dba as far as I understand. How can I recover my Outlook calendar?

  Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!

  You will want to consider a programme of 3rd party called PocketCopy. This will transfer data from Palm Desktop in Microsoft Outlook.

• Palm Desktop installation

  If I install Palm Desktop v6.2 on my Dell laptop (Windows XP Pro on a Treo 700 p synchronization), it deletes the data that I have (Contacts, calendars, etc.) that are in the office, it replaces? Thank you.

  It should not, however, it is always recommended to backup your data before doing anything.

  Personally I export data from palm desktop and then install the new version. Just getting worse, you have a backup of your data.

  To ensure a smooth transition, you should just install palm desktop 6.2 over the original version. This will convert the files to the new format that uses 6.2.

• Palm Desktop 6.2.2 on Win8.1 synchronization but only showing no data

  I'm so happy to have found this forum.  I didn't know there was so much love for the old Palm devices.  I started with a Palm V and worked my way up to a Tungsten T & palm Desktop 4.1.4 on WInXP and everything was so good that I resisted to move away from Palm Desktop, as it is just what I need.  But I just bought a new Win8.1 PC and am having a few problems that I hope someone here can help with.

  I have been through help here on the installation of Palm Desktop 6.2.2 and win8 driver and installation has been very good and I couldn't hotsync via USB without apparent problems, except that Palm Desktop does not display any of my palm data!

  When I ran hotsync (from cradle palm button) it asks a user name.  My Tungsten T was already used on my XP PC and was full of data.  If I entered the username of tungsten and hotsync continued.  It took a few minutes or so (as would be expected) and once finished he said that everything was ok.  I checked the logand Hotsync, it was confirmed that everything was synced properly - but when I open Palm Desktop there is no displayed data.

  I then checked the data files in ...documents\Palm OS Desktop\... and addresses and calendar files are present and full of my data.  I've even opened in Notepad and could easily see loads of text ascii among all of the "junk" characters, so it seems that the synchronization process has worked correctly, but none of my Tungsten is displayed in Palm Desktop.

  I then added an event on the agenda in Palm Desktop and another event the same day in tungsten.  I then did an another hotsync.  It was reported as a success, but the event of tungsten is not in the office, although the same office appeared on the tungsten.  If the synchronization process seems to work only one way!

  I have had it before and would appreciate any help.

  OK, try to use the "Palm Hotsync Setup" program found on this page.

  Since you're using an old T | T, maybe that's the answer.

  There is a guide available on this site for the migration of data from Palm OS Android, if you are interested.  I made this jump years ago when webOS was finished.  You can find it on their homepage.

• Upgrade Plam Desktop app for Palm Desktop by ACCESS

  Have tried to move from Palm Desktop on Vista (Tungsten T) again Palm Desktop by ACCESS that came with a new Centro, I get the message "File in use" during the installation process.  The message is this: the following applications use files should be updated by this Setup. Close the application and click Retry to continue - Windows Explorer (process Id: 1716).  1468, yesterday.

  Explorer does not at least visibly.  Yesterday, I ignored this process and passed, but something seems to have gone wrong.  I was not able to sync.  Information about Palm Desktop was missing.

  From TT to Centro, I probably have to give up 3rd party applications, but move all the other data (contacts, calendar, Memo, etc.) for Centro.  The tech guy that I was talking last night could not help me and told me to call someone who is familiar with the Palm.  Someone at - he meets a similar problem?

  Yes, you will need to update the Docs To Go to 10 or save the files in 2003 for use on the Centro with the current version of the DTG.

  Regarding the 3rd party app, the Centro is a newer and improved performance compared to the T.

  The Centro has 4 times the internal memory at T has.

  If you wish, you can first try to install it on the map and see if there are performance problems. If this isn't the case, then stay on the map. If it seems slow, install in the main memory of Centro.

• HP Mini 210: Palm Desktop (see 6.2.2) lost address book during and after the upgrade to Windows from December 10

  The problem is not with the HP Mini. This computer is running Windows 7 Starter and he Hotsyncs perfectly with my Tungsten C handheld. The problem is with a Dell Vostro, but because it is a problem of Palm, I hope you can help.

  My Dell Vostro has been upgraded to Windows 10 in September. I had a few problem get the Palm to synchronize at this time, but I thought her and successfully synched bases Memo, address and the Date of all the way up to 10 Windows update that Microsoft pushed around Christmas.

  The first Hot Sync attempt after the update given my address book disappear from desktop ONLY (running version 6.2.2) and I was not able to find a way to restore the address book on the desk.

  Handheld still works fine. As I said the HotSync with the HP Netbook (Windows 7 Starter Edition) and I would like to continue to use it as long as ITO still works.

  Try using the Import/Export built-in in Palm Desktop.

  On the PC that contains the data, go to File/Export (while the address book is open and being viewed).  This will produce a file that you can copy to the Dell PC.  Use a flash drive, Cloud Computing service, card SD - it doesn't matter.

  On the Dell, go to file/import and locate the file.

  Windows 10 has caused some 'quirks' to appear in Palm Desktop.  We learn that we will!

• Smartphones from blackBerry Desktop Manager is not of Palm Desktop

  I am trying to export my contacts from Palm (Palm OS, Treo 650, Desktop Manager 4.2) for Blackberry Storm 9500.

  The wizard says "Select PIM. Select the software from which you want to import the PIM data"and"Software Palm Treo or Palm Desktop"option is disabled (in gray, no black) so there is no option to select.

  I tried the other ways, such as synchronisation with Outlook or to import a CSV file, but they do not work or they map so bad that cleaning takes a lot of time.

  Any help?

• Palm Desktop 4.2 - text color coded calendar entries are hidden for some colors

  Environment:

  Treo 680

  Palm Desktop 4.2 running on Windows XP Pro

  Color calendar entries were works very well since I have my phone for over a year.  When I added a new category of color (for my total of 7 categories) I noticed that some of my calendar entries showed the bar color-coded for the appointment, but the text for the entry was hidden.  Nor was I able to change the entry to the Palm Desktop Help, given that any attempt to select the entrance to the tent to create a new entry.

  Thinking that I had exceeded a limit for the number of categories of colors that I deleted the new category (so the entries were now unclassified).  Now, all but one of my color categories are affected (bar colors for the appointment, but no visible text), including those marked with 'undefined' category

  The only color that now shows the text for calendar entries is my category by default (not long).  This affects all my existing and brand new calendar entries, I create, regardless of if I create them on the Treo or Palm Desktop use.

  If I press to scroll my appointments on the page, it selects only those for my default color category where the text of the entry is visible (i.e. He ignores all other appointments).

  Calendar entries are visible on my Treo, fortunately.

  I have not installed any new applications or updates.

  I have not been able to find anyone else reporting this issue.

  My next step will be to restore my backup from last week, but I was hoping to avoid that if possible, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance!

  No worries. It will be under the main screen where you click Calendar. Not under a menu option. If you set it to all to view all of your appointments, no matter what category it is in.

• Centro HotSync with Palm V6.2.2 hangs on the AGENDA - no record of calendar on the Palm Desktop

  First of all, let me say that I hate the new version of Palm Desktop 6.2.2 and ongoing problems, I do a hotsync.  Today, I had to restart my computer I "uninstalled" an unrelated program on my computer.  When I rebooted my computer and open my Palm Desktop, all calendar data was gone.  Since my Centro has recently been hotsync d, I hung up and tried to synchronize.  The device and the desktop 'locked' in the CALENDAR function.  I found another post on the Forum where people from tech support says to 'download the trial version of Pimlico DbFixit' which I did and ran.  It indicates a problem too: DB-SNLT calendar: Both Description and Note are empty - usually a registry damaged.  REC = Date of 1508 = 11/01/09.  I also went in Palm Desktop and in the section 'Applications' found 'AGENDA' and the Nations United CHECKED.  Execution of hotsync again once allowed me to update everything EXCEPT the calendar.

  HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND GET THE TIMING BACK ON MY DESKTOP?

  I basically he fixed me after having used the trial version Dbfixit.  Your person to help chat told me to buy the product and then allow it to correct any errors in my data base.  It would have been a waste of money that the fix was easy once I knew what was wrong.
