• Don't Palm IIIc none liked HotSync under WinME

  Several years ago I was given a Palm IIIc (in his original box) which the owner no longer wanted. I installed Palm desktop on a WinME computer and had no real issues running Hotsync. I use the Palm almost exclusively to run a business application that I developed for internal use.

  Recently, I decided that I should update the application (especially just the data set used, in fact, not the code itself). But I was doing mixed "cannot connect" and "lost connection" messages and now all I get "cannot establish a connection.

  A couple of other facts:

  -It's been almost three years since I tried to Hotsync anything (the last time I have updated the soft, actually)

  -the WinME machine had problems with hard drive and I had to reinstall the operating system in its partition (the disk is divided into several partitions, and so several logical drives)

  Here's what I've tried so far:

  -Reinstall Palm Desktop original. Shows HotSync icon in the taskbar and the Task Manager indicates that it is running. After pressing the Hotsync button on the cradle, however, nothing happens on WinME. After a bit the Palm IIIc beeps and shows one of his two messages

  -Update Palm Desktop to version 4.14. Same (lack of) lead, even though I had to change the default of USB to serial connection before I could be certain

  -unplugged the power brick and leave the cradle not powered for awhile. When it is plugged in, same result (lack of)

  -install the original Palm Desktop on a second hard drive (the machine has two hard drives now, each with a copy of WinME in a logical drive.) So that only one drive is connected at a given time, however). Same result (lack of)

  -reset the Palm IIIc. Same result (lack of)

  -a pencil eraser new to clean the contacts of the Palm IIIc and the cradle. Gee, they are more clear now, but same result (lack of). Also, after that, I noticed that the bottom of the cradle around the Hotsync button was quite warm enough. Don't know if that was the case after any previous repair attempt.

  My thoughts at the moment are running in the sense that the COM port is somehow wrong, or the serial cable does not get a correct contact with the connector on the motherboard (but he did before, so why not now?). Software, I'm not at all clear on the 'property' thing or if Hotsync really cares yet about that (I can say the name that appears under "owner" on the Palm IIIc is my first name and the first letters of my last name - do not know why the last name isn't here)

  I'm not quite of ideas:

  -get a USB-serial converter and launch Palm Desktop 4.14 under WinME

  -get a USB-serial converter and run some version of Palm Desktop is the best for Windows XP (I have a laptop that is running Windows XP)

  -partition the hard drive of my computer (64-bit) of WinVista, install WinME in the new partition as a dual-boot option, run the original Palm Desktop using the serial port on the computer

  Any thoughts on which (or quite other things) may be more likely to succeed?

  It seems that I finally managed to transfer my update on my Palm 3 c application. It seems that do the same thing again and again wait something different to happen is not as crazy as some would have people think.

  I have clean the contacts on the Plam 3 c and the docking station with 70% isopropyl alcohol. I saw a few recommendations for 90 to 95%, but 70% is all I had on hand. Almost the same result (lack of).

  Because side PC Office wake up for a moment, even if it never got past the first step (no username never showed up, for example).

  Other support button hotsync got zilch.

  But I had seen this now a couple of times before. The common denominator in all cases, is that the Palm 3 c has been out of the cradle for several hours. When it is placed on the base, the first attempt to hotsync caused a reaction on the side office, but no attempt after makes.

  I don't know why this might be important. As far as I know is I put the two 3 c Palm and Hotsync Manager at 9600 baud (common slower speed), the Palm 3 c out of the docking station for hours six or more, put it at left back, pressed, press the hotsync button and watched the awakening PC side and start going through her routine - and this time without stopping.

  At least for a while. HotSync did not actually finish. My app has been downloaded first, but the log shows that, after that several apps integrated tried to synchronize (some did, some do not have), and after that the Palm 3 c tried to download copies of everything he had installed on the PC. He has managed to download several, but not all of them - "lost connection" again.

  I love really on it, partly because I already have copies of everything. I don't like that I finally had my app downloaded update. Because I don't really have a rational explanation, I guess now I have a superstition to follow when I want to download an app!

• OK, another window 7 HotSync approach for legacy T3

  I read a lot of threads on this forum, but simply could not find a solution that corresponds to my case. I tried an apparently plausible approach, but don't have enough to work. I wonder if the gurus out there can give me a pointer or two.

  I have a T3, I can only use up to Desktop 4.1.4 not something higher. If some of the workarounds would not work for me.

  My new laptop is a Windows 7 Home Premium, but it of a good deal and does not have bluetooth or infrared port to speak of. Once again, an another roadblock for me.

  While I was thinking, how about a network HotSync via my old Windows XP which has the network connection to my new Windows 7 laptop?  In other words, T3-> USB-> Window XP PC-> for Windows 7 laptop.   I HotSync would be on network in the past before, so I think I knew what I had to do.

  BUT the ONLY problem I have is, how to create a USER in the first place on the Notepad of Windows 7 for hotSync launched across the network knows how to 'home' to the main computer?    In the past, I had to hotSync on the main computer to create the user before I can hotSync over network.

  Any idea?

  Ramon, thanks to again raise this matter.

  Reb1, thanks for letting me know the availability of the 64-bit driver!

  Here is the link for the 3rd new 64-bit driver that works for my T3 on Windows 7 on USB:

  http://forums.Palm.com/T5/Windows-HotSync/64-bit-Palm-Desktop-drivers-are-here/m-p/337516#M58035

  1. I installed the Palm Desktop 4.1.4 on my Windows 7.

  2 when you are prompted to HotSync at the end of the installation, I plugged in with the PDA cradle and press the HotSync button.

  3. I heard the beep signifying the USB device has attempted to commit, but nothing showed on the screen.

  4. I then followed the outlines the steps in the link above, and everything worked as described!

  OK, for completeness, here are the steps I took to step 4 above:

  4.1 I downloaded and extracted the driver 64 bit Aceeca site through the link provided in the thread above.

  4.2 I opened Device Driver and found "Palm device" with a yellow warning icon.

  4.3 I right click on it and select "Update driver".

  4.4 I navigate to the folder where I extracted the drivers

  4.5 after the driver has been installed successfully, I HotSync would once again and voila!

• HotSync the Palm foldable keyboard connection error

  Hello

  I used a foldable keyboard (P10802U) for years and it worked fine on my M505 and my T3. I recently started giving me an error when I try to connect to the keyboard. It attempts to launch Hotsync and displays an error message that says: "the connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your configuration and try again. I downloaded and installed a new version of the keyboard.prc. This seems to be ineffective. No change.

  Can someone tell me what is happening here? Is this a kind of collision of software or has my keyboard suddenly auto destroyed while I watched?

  What kind of information do you need from me to make a decision?

  Everyone had / has a similar problem? Is there a solution that does not involve a new purchase?

  Any help would be appreciated at this point, until I started delving into the dark and really break something.

  Kind regards

  Deadoweyn

  To SOLVE my problem... I put it in the cradle and did a Hot Sync with computer... who has restored the settings. I can use the folding laptop keyboard again! All that I really want the PDA to write away from office... then load in the Office for further editing. Wonderful device!

• Need to Mgr HotSync for new computer

  I recently updated my Windows 2000 computer running ACT! 6.0 using HotSync with my w/Palm OS3.5 PalmVx using ACT! Link2.0 for Palm OS.  I just upgraded to a new laptop running Windows XP and ACT! Premium 2009 (11.0) Version.  Are there new HotSync Manager software that I can download so that I can continue to HotSync'ing my laptop w / the new Pocket?

  In addition, my HotSync home has a connection series (9 pin female) that I can't use it with my laptop, which will require a USB connection.  Is there a conversion cable, that I can use to plug the docking station for my laptop?

  Help, please.  Thank you!

  Hello and welcome to the forums;

  According to the Configuration page required for ACT! http://www.Act.com/2009/system/#actprem2009 is compatible with: "Palm HotSync Manager 3.5 - 4.1.0 (4.1.0 recommended for Windows XP, included with Palm Desktop 4.1.4e) and 7.0.2 (included with Palm Desktop 6.2).

• Palm TX freeze when using cradle

  I have a Palm TX newly refurbished and the cradle.  TX and cradle work together very well, if the TX turned on when inserted on the cradle.  If the TX is switched off when it is inserted, the TX freezes.  If the cables are connected the cradle are directly connected to the TX, it also works very well if the TX is enabled or disabled.  It is now my second birthplace and the problem occurs on both.  There is a hotfix that resolves this problem?  THX. ER

  Sure.  I doubt that the update patch will be listed in the normal routine of 'Delete' (Launcher screen/Pull down menu/delete) so you will need to install a "File Manager" program for free if you do not.   I like to use a simple one called "3XCommander" found here:

  http://www.FreewarePalm.com/utilities/3xcommander.shtml

  Once the program is installed, it works just like Windows Explorer on a PC.  Locate the file in the list and tap it.  Opens a menu with several options, including 'delete '.  Choose Delete and the file disappeared.

  You can search your file /Backup on your computer for the file.  If found, remove it from there too!  Once the two sites have been excavated and removed, I would be soft reset your device, then try HotSync.

• No hotsync

  I still use my old Tungsten E2. I had installed version 3.1 Manager on my old machine (I still have the disc). I installed it on my new machine... does not work

  I downloaded 6.2 - seemed to install ok, but he doesn't have a hotsync. Deleted and installed 4.1. Installed quickly and cleanly, but won't always sync. I get all the standard s 'bong', but the Unit indicates a connection could not be established.

  I'm on Windows 7 Edition home premium. My username seems to fit properly. (I get a device driver not found message when I plug in the Palm, but I tell myself it's because Windows always thinks everything is plug and play).

  I'm something basic missing just? Why it is not syncing?

  Thank you.

  No, thank you.

  I had trouble loading device manager, as Windows 7 dialogues for Device Manager are not as described... but the help file in the zip driver allowed to get by.

  I also had to keep hit the HotSync button on my device so that Windows detects long enough for me to load the driver.

  However, I have them loaded and synchronized to the device, so...

  Thank you!

• Failure to connect the HotSync Palm TX 4.2 and Office XP Pro

  I have a Palm TX with v. 4.2 OS and HotSync residing in a XP Pro PC.

  When you perform the HotSync operation, controlled by the cable button, either very often fails because unable to connect to the PC or the device is not recognized.

  After several attempts, HotSync works fine, using the same USB port.

  This problem isn't to blame on the desktop environment or is there something that can be fixed on the Palm software?

  The TX comes with Palm OS 5.4.9 installed - 4.2 is very probably the version of Palm Desktop, you are running.

  The problem could be easily the cable itself, or dirty contacts on the bottom of the unit.  Check the HotSync port gold on the TX sign of dirt, oil or corrosion.  Cleaning of this area with Contact Cleaner (available at electronics stores) or isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab can solve the problem.

  If you have another available HotSync cable that you can borrow, I would suggest that-a break in one of the tiny wires inside could produce the symptoms you describe.

• Office No. hotsyncs; install desktop-not hotsync

  TungstenE2 with Vista; has been able to hotsync (Pocket largely successful). But no office arrives with the data. Only your desktop with photos (Palm by Access). Instructions that came with your handheld (to replace an older) says to install desktop 6.2, I did. The desktop appears fine on my Toshiba laptop (2005 version), but I tried everything to get a hotsync to work. The message is that no connection is possible and control Setup. Help, please!

  Try right click on the shortcut for Palm Desktop, then "run as Administrator".

  Also make sure what UAC (User Account Control) is disabled.  Control Panel/users/disable UAC.

• Tungsten E don't hotsync on Windows 7

  I run my Palm Tungsten E (bought in 2005) using the HotSync Manager 4 without problem.

  I just got a new HP laptop and tried to install the HotSync Manager, the drive did not have software to do the installation.

  I downloaded HotSync Manager 7.0.2 to try to resolve the problem. The result is the same - HotSync does not work and NO error no message to tell me what may be the problem!

  Did anyone had success turning a successful HotSync the Tungsten E Windows.

  I also have an old Tungsten E and now a new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. I finally understood how to synchronize so here's my story.
  Already said that it works by infrared, so I bought an infrared adapter USB 7780 MOSCHIP (www.conrad.nl) and downloaded driver win7-64 www.moschip.com and installed the infrared adapter.
  I downloaded Palmdesktop 6.22 including hotsync 7.02. I also had to download and install additional conduct for Outlook2007 which I am running.
  Next: setting up hotsync to my Tungsten E account. First make a user account. It's a little tricky because this isn't the username under network parameter, but the name that appears in the upper right of the screen if you synchronize. I also had to cancel my password I got into serious trouble syncing asked a password, although I never had a password configuration in my Tungesten E. go to prefs - security - and cancel your password.
  Then in the hotsync Manager filling out what Sync (contacts, calendar, Outlook etc.). And then connection sto Infarred and network!
  Then set up the connection, placing my infrared USB adaptor near the mt Tungesten E IR. Then go to prefs, connection and I thought choose IR for PC/handheld, but the later which proved to be wrong, so I created my own custom "IR Paul" connection and the connection to the PC and via an infrared connection.
  Next to the prefs - network - service Untitled, username in my case "psalverd", "password" and connection to the IR Paul. Fact
  The Star then tab on the PDA but cancel immediatelt as Tungesten E then well that you put in place to connect with IR tries to connect to usnig a home/cable station. Yo see the Hotsync on your PDA saying menu "hotsync last date-time" with Paul IR. Its the Hotsync icon in the middle of the screen and hotsync tab will now run. On your PC, a window opens showing the progression of your timing, will soon launch a password (no) and then starts the synchronization really.
  
  Hope my story will help someone else. As I'm not a very literate PC users that perhaps not all correct, but it worked for me.

• 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.

• Palm Tungsten E2 hotsync with windows 8

  I have a palm Tungsten E2 I can't warm to sync using Windows 8. I have it installed, which, according to me, is the latest driver for Palm and the installed program, but it is still impossible hot sync. There is no Bluetooth capabilities either.

  Thank you for your help.  I just downloaded the driver.  What should I do to install?

  Yes my E2 HotSynced fine on my old computer, no problem.

  The error message, it's that there is no link.

  I went to ensure that the program was looking for synchronization via USB because it's what I use, so this isn't the issue.

• Palm M515 - Windows Xp - cannot HotSync! Help, please

  Well, I'm going to this for a few hours because I received my used Palm m515 and cannot get it to HotSync with my computer. Someone at - it a step by step how to sync it? I get an error message on my palm, saying that it can not connect and I have to configure my settings. I tried to switch to palm desktop and it says that my Com1 port is not open? Any suggestions?

  The first thing you should do when a part receiving device is Hard Reset to turn the unit to the factory settings and erase all their information. When the device's HotSync ' ed, a hotysnch user name is applied to the device. If you do not use the same username in Palm Desktop, when you synchronize, it won't recognize the user name and cause problems HotSync ' ing.

  Click on the following link for the Web page of kb.hpwebos.com for the article about resetting your device.

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

  Once the device is hard reset. Start the HotSync process and configure the user name that you want to use in Palm Desktop.
