  Thank you

  Hello cardinalw!

  You must follow the instructions in the thread sticky at the top of this section exactly!

  You can't run just one of the files to install the update.

  Good luck!  You'll be HotSync in no time!

• Help recover lost memos in Palm OS by Access 6.4.0

  Hello

  I use Palm OS by Access 6.4.0 Desktop software. I used to use a Palm Zire handheld computer, but now to store all my notes and contacts on the desktop version. I opened the software Palm OS today to discover that all my memos are not displayed. When I look in the Palm Desktop under 'My Documents' file I see the following:

  MemoPad.bak that shows as a file BAK - modified 08/05/2012

  MemoPad.bak.back that shows as a file BAK - modified 08/05/2012

  Notebook (no extension file on this one) shows a file "Microsoft Access" - modified on 12/06/2014

  MemoPad.mdb.bak that shows as a BAK - modified file on 01/06/2014

  UiPrefs.dat which shows as a DAT file - modified on 13/06/2014

  The memo files were visible and functional the last time I recall to work with them, who were around June 1, 2014.

  Any suggestions on how I could do to get back my notes?

  Any help would be appreciated!

  OK, looking at my Palm Desktop memo files, I have the same files, but the size of the files is all the same!

  As you can see "Memo" in Palm Desktop, I would skip the first suggestion.

  First thing to do: copy the entire folder "Memo" somewhere else for safety.  Close to Palm Desktop, if it is still open.

  (BTW, you should ALWAYS close the program Palm Desktop 6.2.2 before turning off your computer!)  This version has a known bug in data loss if the execution of the program and the computer is turned off.)

  I use Windows 8.1, but I think that the file Explorer has the same appearance.  Open Explorer files on your computer, access the Memo file, then click on 'View' in the menu bar.   Look to the right of the option and see if the "file name Extensions" is selected.  If this is not the case, check it.

  Now, look at the files.  We will rename two of them.

  Change:

  MemoPad.mdb (the file without extension) to MemoPad.OLD

  MemoPad.bak to MemoPad.mdb

  Now re-open Palm Desktop and cross your fingers!    Let me know what happens.

• Palm Desktop 6.2.2 Windows 8 missing modules after the update to version 4.1.4

  After installing Palm Desktop 6.2.2 version 4.1.4 on my laptop to Windows 8 for use with my Palm Tungsten E2, I now only 4 modules... Fees, Note Pad, media and install. Where have calendar, addresses, etc., disappear to?

  Version 7.0.2 HotSync Manager also offers, USB, network and series, but NOT the Bluetooth in connection settings. I use an IVT BlueSoleil Bluetooth adapter and their driver/software version 8.0.395.0, which works very well with anything else.

  GoneFishin6, I suggest you clean uninstall/reinstall Palm Desktop.

  Your question is the first I've heard of.  Others report success with Win8.

  These instructions are for Vista, but should work for Win8.

  You first need to you a copy of your data to have just in case something happens. You can find your data files by clicking on start-> Documents-> Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop user name and right click and copy. Then go to the desktop of your PC, click on a blank spot block and select.
  
  If this is the first time, you install Palm desktop and encounter a problem, go to the previous step. If you are not concerned about your data at this stage, go to the next step.
  
  Now, you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove anything that has to do with Palm Desktop on your computer. Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below. [C:\Program Files\Palm or C:\Users\[Vista Palm connection name] \appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or PalmOne C:\Users\[Vista Login Name] \appdata * note you may need to show hidden folders to join appdata. To do than to go into your control panel and open folder options. Go to tab and uncheck hide hidden files.
  
  When you use Palm desktop 6.2, look in my documents or documents and delete the folder Office of PalmOS. It is the location of the PD 6.2 data files.
  
  Once this is done, you will need to remove certain keys in the registry of your PC operating system.
  
  Word of warning, go here and removing the wrong thing can cause your PC to start, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel that you are not sure of yourself, see if you have a friend who can help you or a PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to remove. To make sure that we have a good copy of the current registry, we make a backup of the registry.
  
  Go to start on your PC in the search box type "regedit.exe" without the quotes.
  
  Point peak COMPUTER, go to file-> Export. Should appear with a save as box. Current place of residence is fine, must be within My Documents, or save to a location that you will remember. In the name of the file in low type "backup [todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Then, the most difficult part.
  
  The best way to ensure that your work with the right key, select the key that is installation quick palm and press delete on your keyboard. You will be asked, you of course. Say Yes. Do the same for all the keys below.
  
  If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician. BUT do not turn off your computer.
  
  The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of the theses reg keys will not be here, but if they remove them)
  
  * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer * Robotics\Pilot Desktop HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc. * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
  
  Then, restart your computer.
  
  Then, reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If request you a user name, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right of the screen to hotsync.

• 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.

• I lost the sound on my desktop PC I use windows vista, everything is properly connected

  I lost the sound on my PC at the beginning I had problems with the 9300GE Nividia G E Force which would not update & now I have a message that there is a problem with the ADS Instant HDTV PC1 driver?

  Check the easy things first.
  The sound is muted?  :)
  Is the volume up?  :)
  Can you do a system restore to a point where the sound is working and then go from there?

  You can have a conflict between the pilots.

  I suggest going to Web sites of the sound and video card manufacturers and get the latest drivers for both components.  If the sound is integrated on the motherboard you can obtain this driver from the manufacturer of PC as Dell or HP or the manufacturer of the motherboard if it is a homebuilt machine.
  That's all that I can say without more details.

• Ability lost access administrator account and create files (using Windows 7)

  Running windows 7, administrator account has disappeared and cannot access (it is listed as a user with permissions (mine has changed and he's been a user listed as S-1-5-21-3964978265-1859684145-9075597-1000 and finally managed to remove it (I think)) and the ability to create folders, or by clicking right in applications.)

  I don't know if there is something else that is affected.  How can I fix it, my level of knowledge is limited on what I should and should not on my system.
  You can probably fix your problem by using the system restore. Here's how it works:
  1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
  2. select Repair from the menu.
  3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
  4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
  6. plan in advance and create, test and document a spare, even admin account that you have a spare House key.

  Welcome to the forms of Palm,

  Palm Desktop should work as the Admin changes it brings in the registry. It is most likely your problem with that. If you have questions post back.

• List of books of clients/email address that syncs with palm desktop 6.2

  Is there (and if not, I think that there should be) a list somewhere of whose books address e-mail clients can be synchronized with a palm Treo (palm Desktop 6.2 release)? I have fortunately use several palm handheld computers for about 6 years now and have been synchronization of AddressBook with Mozilla and Thunderbird now for the last few years. I currently have an m130, but it is time for a "smart phone" that I am a prioritization of all about two transport devices. Unfortunately, the Treo requires the 6.2 palm Desktop version that is not compatible with Thunderbird palm synchronization. I had the idea that Outlook (which I have never used or been exposed to) can be synchronized with the Palm, but something I read gave me the impression that I would need to buy third party software to make this happen, plus the $110 they want for Outlook. I'd like to think there are other choices for someone who simply wants to synchronize their smart phone with the address book of their e-mail client. It seems that this ability to sync would be essential to the turnover of palm and a list of all these possibilities of synchronization would be extremely beneficial for sales, including new sales to individuals are not already initiated on this kind of subject. The absence of possibility to synchronize with Thunderbird can cause just sticking with my old m130 awhile longer and give up the idea of a new nice smart phone.

  Hello and welcome to the Community Forums of Palm.

  I haven't looked lately at the T-Bird plugin for Palm Desktop synchronization... What do you use (apparently successfully)?

  Also what version of Palm Desktop are you using currently?  And what version of Windows?

  In short, unless your desktop is Windows Vista, there is no need to use Palm Desktop 6.2.2.  All new Palm OS Treo or Centro syncs with Palm Desktop 4.1.4E.  The only practical thing PD 6.2.2 is Vista compatibility... it works equally well on Windows XP, but there is no need to use it.

  Hope this helps your decision.

• items lost during upgrade to Palm Desktop 6.2.2

  Hello

  Just bought a Palm Pre, unlocked, a beauty.  Wanted to move the items from my Palm Desktop to the FRONT.  During the upgrade from my old, old Desktop 4.0.4 for Desktop 6.2.2 I lost all contacts, calendar etc events.  The datebook.dat file is there, but since my old Palm Treo broke down entirely (Palm could not repair it) I could not synchronize the installation of the new software.

  The question is: How can I move my items the address.dat, dateboook.dat etc. for the new version of office.

  Thanks muchly for all the good advice!

  Janko

  You cannot use these data files to the point 6.2.

  6.2 has a format of different file than previous versions and don't recognize these files.

  What I would say, it is to copy your username folder in c-program files-Palm.

  Paste this folder on the Windows desktop. With the help of delete Palm desktop 6.2 Control Panel-Add/Remove programs. Re-install Palm desktop that you had previously installed. Pick up the user name folder in the folder on the drive c. open palm desktop palm and see if your data is there.

  If this is the case, export your data from backup. Here is a procedure for this.

  The best way to protect your data is to export the data in each category of Palm Desktop in a separate folder on your PC.

  Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that suits. Name it something like Palm Desktop data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on this page for the export procedure.

  http://www.Palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?id=28734

  Make sure you only select everything for the beach in the export window.

  With the data stored in the created folder, make a copy of this file and save it on a USB key, cd - rw or external hard drive.

  Whenever you change in Palm Desktop, export the data that has been changed in this file and save again to external media.

  With this process you can always import the data in Palm Desktop, whenever you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop, or if your computer/hard drive/device crash.

  After you have your data backed up, install Palm desktop 6.2 and if data do not migrate to 6.2, use the import function in Palm desktop.
