• Visor Deluxe: HotSync after the loss of the gel battery

  First of all, I'm new to these forums, so if I posted this in the wrong place, I apologize.  Please, just direct me to the appropriate forum.

  I lost the battery cover to my Visor Deluxe, that I discovered when a battery is dropped and I lost all my data and applications.  The batteries are now saved in, and I did a HotSync the night before the battery is out, so I expect to be able to recover everything by an another HotSync.  But at the end of the HotSync (while it says "Cleaning - please wait"), I get the following message: 'You now need to reset your Pocket PC by pressing the button below,' that says "Reset".  Once I press the button, the screen has a big 'P' logo say with the words "Palm Computing Platform" underneath and I can't or do this screen go away, or turn off your handheld.  I repeated several times (after erasing the data again) and got the same results.

  Before the HotSync, I'm going to the HotSync of Palm Desktop 4.0.1 custom dialog box (in Windows XP SP3) and replace pipes for calendar, address book, task list, Notepad and system "Desktop replaces PDA; I let it install and install the Service models the Enabled value.  HotSync produces the following log:

  Full HotSync operation, 03/07/09 00:15:54

  Note that HotSync is supposed to upgrade the OS 3.1H2 to 3.1H3 Palm.  Also note that, with the exception of this upgrade, each file is installed twice.

  I solved the problem by:

  (1) do a hard reset

  (2) removing the application, balance between personal life and its directory data files backup

  (3) do a HotSync (after the first HotSync settings for "Desktop replaces handheld")

  (4) reinstall personal life balance - and its files - from the backup directory

• synchronization is slow to non-existent on the Tungsten e2

  I have the original desktop on a WinXP installation software, and for awhile, I forgot that this is. I was always sync my e2 on my w7 laptop, with the new version of ACCESS of Palm Desktop and ACCECA drivers for the USB docking station.

  I rediscovered my Palm desktop on the XP machine and rememebered it kind of "disappeared" for awhile it is because I've been logging in as a regular user, and Palm Desktop does not run unless I connect as long as administrator (and no, I can't use "run as" for Palm Desktop).

  I tried to sync as an administrator on the XP machine, and it's been syncing my calendar for hours, now. Certainly, it must have been 1-2 years since my last sync on XP, but I still think it shouldn't take 2 hours (and more) for the synchronization to occur. The application doesn't seem to be suspended, if the icon animated showing the synchronization is any indication.

  Any ideas? I have to leave this installation of Palm for the dead?

  Synchronization problem has been somewhat fixed in W7 by go to HotSync settings, by clicking Applications, unchecking Agenda, address book, task list, and Notepad.

  Duplicate entries are still there, and what has happened is that the rest of the Palm sync, and unchecked items do not have. So, I left only Agenda unchecked, and so the rest of the Palm sync, except the agenda.

  So, the problem has been isolated to the only Agenda. Now, I tried "Replaces Desktop" and he hung up. If I try the reverse operation ("overwrites handleld"), I know I will lose data. This is because when I uninstalled last Palm Desktop, I deleted the files when I should have just backed up their. Rash skin decision here, but I first suspected corruption on my desktop files. Because he gets caught, my only choice now was to execute "Desktop replaces handheld" an agenda for the most part empty, rewriting years of former times.

  The Agenda worked well on the Palm, but now I can't sync. Without a backup on the desktop, I have myself screwed in this recent updates will be lost. I went through each element of planning, dated in the future and they are entered manually on my Palm Desktop. After this event, I felt better to lose the old data on my Palm when I hit now updated.

  When I did, all set to update as expected, so in hindsight, the book Date file was corrupted on the tungsten. Update of the old appointments TI started badly, but meh, at least my future appointments has been backed up, and then I put HotSync to its normal settings (synchronize files) and now is more suspended.

  All an adventure and almost screwed myself a couple of times, but now evrything seems to be better.

• Outlook not sync all of a sudden

  I have an E2 and have been correctly synchronize my outlook with my E2 until today.  I use a Bluetooth connection and hot normally functions of synchronization, but new data in the calendar or contacts transfer anyway. I get the same result using the cable.

  The only recent change I made was to add the Real Player installation CD so that I could add more songs to the card.

  I'm on Vista and Office 2007.

  Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!

  Try going into your Hotsync settings by clicking on the Hotsync icon in your taskbar tasks (next to your clock on your start bar). If you use a 4. ? software you will go to "Custom", if you use 6.2 as you go to settings. 6.2 you must click applications to display your pipes. Make sure that the calendar and Contacts (Agenda and address book) are checked. In addition, you can go into the settings for these vents and make sure they are set to "Synchronize files" and not "do nothing."

  I would like to know if it is useful.

• Hot sync - Z22

  I downloaded the hot version latest sync, however, my Z22 freezes when it gets to the step 8 - calendar synchronization.  Any suggestions?

  You would have to buy the paid version for repairs. You access your piping under hotsync > settings > Applications, adjust the lines at the office of the overwrights handheld if you data has been corrected on your device by DBFixit.

• HotSync custom settings do not stay (Yes, they are by default)

  Hello

  I have a Treo 755 p, XP Pro, MS Outlook 2003 running and just recently, I noticed that my calendar stopped synch'ing.

  I right click on HotSync manager, select custom, calendar / contacts-> Desktop / device (set by default to each time).

  Sometimes when I hit "done" on the custom options, I have error Microsoft-> send a report to Microsoft blah, blah.

  Usually, I can restart the HotSync mgr app and set the default parameters after a few tries.  I then sync my treo and it will be anything but my calendar synchronization.

  I checked that led Pim synch is "Sync with outlook"

  I uninstalled and reinstalled Palm software on my laptop - no change

  I did a hot/soft reset on my treo - no change

  I have now done a Hard reset on my treo - still no change

  I have been through the support Web site and haven't seen any new suggestions - what I'm missing.

  Your help is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you. -Val

  Hello.  In fact, I don't have it.

  Currently, there is only a verizon email account set up (using the default settings of verizon).

  When I ran an another synch the synchlog come at last with an error indicating that the custom settings for the email did not differ to that which is set up on my Treo.  OK - so now that they are the same (no more Exchange on either the config mgr hot synch).  And Voila!  I have now updated my calendar on my treo to my Outlook.  That makes sense now because I was sleeping me with the configuration of email a few weeks ago.

  I hope that I have no more problems with hot Sync Manager sending an error report to Microsoft.

  Just to be sure - I just changed all of my custom settings (and their default values) and it does not crash on me.  Success!

  Thank you for your help.

• 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.

• Satellite 300U-11V with Palm Treo 650 HotSync

  Hello

  I recently bought am and portable 300U unable to hotsync over Bluetooth with my Treo 650.
  I can transfer files between them with Bluetooth but I can't get them to Hotsync otherwise than by serial USB cable.
  I checked the 'How To' Toshiba which were for generic Tosh PC and PDA Palm T3 especially regarding the com port and transfer speed 7 but without result.

  When the hotsync/communication process starts the phone tells me to add my phone to the list of secure... devices then to check my settings!

  Thanks in advance.

  > When the hotsync/communication process starts the phone tells me to add my phone to the list of secure... devices then to check my settings!

  Seems that there is some security restrictions. The Treo 650 is not known to me, but I recommend to check the ActivSync security options and add the Palm Treo 6 the list of secure devices.

  OK - I'm a fool.  I have a Treo 650 and have had problems of synchronization - lying there.  Today, I had the brilliant idea to delete all my contacts and calendar on my computer and starting over.  I put the phone hotsync and after a few minutes received an error message saying that the sync-ing process was interrupted.  Then I discovered that all the data of contacts and the calendar on my palm has been eliminated.  I thought that I had made a backup, but, just, did a search on my computer (XP Home) and couldn't find any file with .aba.

• 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!

• Palm TX connects to the computer via WiFi for Hotsync

  I tried the network Hotsync on all my computers, XP, Vista 32 and Vista 64 (which started the whole attempt) and the device fails to connect to the computer, even if I set the IP address.

  My wireless network see the Palm and I am able to access the Internet through it, but it does not connect to my computer. Any suggestions?

  Here is my Wifi Hotsync help file:

  WiFi HotSync with a TX

  1. on your PC, locate the Manager HotSync (small HotSync icon in the lower tray of the right tool on a Winbox). Click top and check 'Network', then click again and select Setup.

  2. choose the network at the top tab in the window that opens and locate your HotSync name in the list. Make sure it is checked.

  3. press the button of TCP/IP and look for the IP listed for "main PC address. Write it down.

  4. turn on the Wifi on your Palm and you connect to your router.

  5. on your Palm, select the HotSync program and press the word "Network" over the HotSync icon in the middle of the screen. Below, enter the IP address that you noted in step 3. (Include periods!).

  6. tap the HotSync icon big above the IP address and hang in there!

  7. If you stand and nothing happens try a HotSync cable, then retry the HotSync Wifi. Sometimes, information is to be transferred from your PC once you check the network option. Also, don't forget to watch for any activity of firewall ask you questions about "HotSync.exe tries to access your hard drive" etc. You may need to define a rule to allow him to.

  On your TX, check these settings in the drop in Hotsync:

  Modem Sync: network

  LanSync: LANSync

  Network configuration: (Wifi should be listed as one of the networks)

• Problem with the IP vs network Hotsync computer name

  Hello-

  I have a TX, a Windows XP workstation and a wireless router.  I play successfully hotsyncs network via WiFi.  A snag, however:

  My workstation is configured with a static IP address.  In the TX Hotsync page, I can use the drop-down list for 'Select PC' and manually enter the IP address.  HotSync will work.  However, on the next go-around, I see that the IP in the drop-down list box HotSync has been replaced with the name of the computer to my workstation.  If I try to hotsync with it, I can not connect.  So I once again 'Select PC' and manually enter the IP address... and it works.  The problem is: I have to manually enter the IP address whenever I want to hotsync.

  Is there something I need to change so that the TX will find my workstation by using the name of the computer instead of the IP address, so I can just click on the button and go?

  Thank you!

  Well Yes, strange...

  Thank you.  Everything you mentioned had been done and already checked.  As I have noted, I have HotSync successfully through the IP address.

  Anyway, the next thing I did was to set the TX for static IP address.  That did not help.

  I read that the computer names are handled via NetBIOS and NetBIOS is often blocked by the default firewall.  I went to F-Secure and added about five rules to allow TCP traffic and WINS over TCP and UDP, specifically for static IP of the TX.  Voila... I have hotsync using the name of the computer.

  Now, it happens by a stranger...

  I started to remove the rules one by one, to see which actually caused to work properly.  Funny, it is... I removed - all - of the rules - and it still works.  Even after rebooting several times throughout the process.

  Then maybe some settings in F-Secure is a not 'paste' originally, and after going through the process and all still rested back upward.

  I don't know, but I'm happy now.  ^_^

  See you soon!

• Lot of HotSync and wiped out computer info

  Hello

  I just lost my Centro phone today.  I had my old Treo 650, I decided to hotsync to at least give me my agenda and past issues. The problem is that I didn't have the replacement parameters correct and wiped all my information on my office.  Is there a way I can restore my desktop settings, then when I get a new phone all will be back?

  You synchronize your Treo under the same username as the centro?

  Open the Palm Desktop program. On the top right, you should see your username listed. If you have more than one user name (that of your Treo) and the other of your centro, click on the username associated with your centro and check if all the information is here.

  I hope that you are able to get all your info!

• HotSync does not new/chanaged the Tungsten E2 palm contacts transfer

  Total frustration.  New Palm Tungsten E2 because I was so frustrated with a Treo that was nothing but trouble.  With the help of USB HotSync.  New and modified contacts are not moved to the Palm from the desktop.  The options (thanks to a previous thread) are correct (I checked).  What condition would stop the hotsync to move a new or modified entry for tungsten? Using Windows XP SP 3 Outlook 2003.

  Thank you.

  Are you sync'ing the new device the same username in Palm Desktop as an older device?
  If you are, this will cause problems on the new device. When you synchronize the device, it records the device settings, applications, 3rd party, preferences, etc. in the backup folder in the folder on the PC username. When you synchronize the new device it copies the content of the backup for the old device folder in the new device. This will cause corruption in the settings of the new device, which causes erratic behavior of the new device.

  Looks like you may need to reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Then before of you hotsync your data back you will need to rename your backup folder, to do than go here.

  XP
  C:\Program files\palm or palm one\ [hotsync username]------and rename your backup
  file Backup.Old

  Vista
  Start--> documents\Palm OS Desktop\ [hotsync username]------and rename your backup
  file Backup.Old

  Then hotsync from your current name of hotsync and all your contacts, calendar,
  tasks and memos coming back.

  Show the file extensions for XP or Vista

  XP
  If you cannot view the extensions of file on your PC I would you open a
  folder, go to Tools--> Folder Options--> View (tab) and under Show hidden
  files and folders to uncheck Hide extensions of known file types.

  Vista
  Open control Panel, go to--> View (tab) and under show hidden folder Options
  files and folders to uncheck Hide extensions of known file types.
