Palm desktop 6.2.2 lose data

• 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.

• Palm Desktop date

  My laptop shows the correct date but my Palm desktop computer isn't even after I have synchronize with handheld ovewriting the office and I can't find a way to change the date on my desk.

  Hello and welcome to the forums of Palm.

  The date on your Palm Desktop program is the same date as your computer. To set the date on the Palm desktop, you will need to update the time on your computer, which is probably not correct.

  Do you know how or do I put instructions?

• 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.

• Back to Palm Desktop synchronization, rather than with Outlook

  I recently installed Outlook on my PC and was then given the option to sync my Treo to Outlook. I didn't think it would mean that it would be no longer synchronized to my Palm Desktop. I don't find a way to return to Palm Desktop synchronization, I prefer, without uninstalling Outlook. Can anyone offer advice. I would be very grateful. Thank you.

  Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!

  If you use a newer version of Palm Desktop, you can change the way that you want to synchronize easily. On your PC, go to start > programs > Palm > PIM led Sync > sync with Palm Desktop.

  All your data will not be synchronized for Palm Desktop. If you do not have this feature, you can download and install a new version of Palm Desktop by going to www.palm.com and click support.

  I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

• 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.

• 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.

• Data transfer Assistant - doesn't recognize palm desktop

  I have a Palm Tungsten e I installed Palm Desktop v6.2 so I could transfer my data on my new Pre phone.  My Pre phone is plugged into the USB port on my computer and I selected the USB key on the phone. I then started the data transfer Assistant, has chosen to run, chose following the Welcome screen, chose following to the login window since I already have my phone connected pre, says next message window ' although Palm Desktop is installed, there is no data to transfer.

  This is incorrect. my Palm Desktop contains data.  Why the data transfer Assistant say that?  The only option is left.  How do I get past this so I can transfer my data?

  I did setup a Google mail account and put that on my phone but it seems not to matter.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  I found the solution to my problem with the DTA does not transfer my data from Palm to my Pre phone.  Here are the steps I took:

  (1) backed up the data of palm on my external hard drive

  (2) uninstalling palm desktop and palm versalmail by using Add/Remove programs

  (3) record deleted program files/palm

  (4) pc reloaded

  (5) installed Palm Desktop V6.2

  (6) synchronize Tungsten E PDA to pc

  (7) made 3 new Palm Desktop: 1 user profiles for the calendar, 1 book, 1 for memos address (got this tip from another validation)

  (8) exported calendar data in the profile calendar, address to the address profile data and data Memo memo profile

  (8) DTA started

  (9) selected a profile suitable to transfer to pre - done 3 times.  Wanted to make sure that each type of data transferred correctly and it also gave me the opportunity to choose where I wanted to save the data

  (10) SUCCESS!

  Hope this helps someone else out there.

• A Palm Desktop allows to load/update a Palm V and Tungsten T2 (separate for each software/data)?

  I have a T2 tungsten used for business (in sync with your desktop XP and laptop XP). I recently got a Palm V I intend to use for personal applications / hobby (a controller requiring a serial connection). 2 devices may not be synchronized - in fact, they need their files and separate applications. The current installed desktop application comes from the T2 Setup disk (V 4.1.4).

  I need to load an older version of Palm Desktop for Palm V of load/install programs?

  How can I load applications Palm v and keep the Palm V files to take charge of the T2 (and now the files synchronization T2 Palm v)?

  DRM for all the advice!

  Hello and welcome to the Community Forums of Palm.

  As long as you keep a separate Hotsync ID for each of the two devices, you should be able to sync the V of the same installation of office.  Create a separate Hotsync ID will also create a folder of device separated on the desk, at which all the separate data and third-party applications will be synchronized.

• the program palm desktop data recovery

  As I tried to install a new Palm program that came with my Centro, my original program palm information phone that has been on my computer for 6 years was completely wiped out.  It's the 3.0.1 version of the Palm Desktop software.  Is there anyway I can retrieve this information which was on my computer?

• 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:

• transfer data from your old computer to new computer. Palm Desktop app where led apps?

  Help, please

  I backed up my old files from my Palm programs out of my old computer database

  (The hard disk and the computer went wrong, and then he died.)

  Question: which directories and where do I copy the old data, so that I can hotsync?

  I hotsynced once, but I do not see programs in Hotsynce led screen, where

  you select handheld to crush desktop or synchronize files.

  Question: In the screen sheath, which directory it seeks for programs?

  I have a Sony Clie PEG-SJ22 Palm Desktop v4.1, Mgr Hotsync 4.1.0.

  I spent 4 days on re - install the palm software, to solve the problem of usb hotsync.

  I'm finally able to hotsync, thanks to previous assignments and hours of re - install different versions

  the palm software.

  Any help on the issues, would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Your data directory will usually be c > program files > palm > [user folder, usually an abbreviated version of your hotsyncid]

  Are they missing conduits for third-party applications?  If so you will need to track down and reinstall them... most applications that have a duct must run a desktop installation routine to install the duct.

• 64 bit Windows7/8/8.1/10 USB drivers for Palm Desktop

  Thank you people much more to Aceeca.com (Palm OS Garnet NEW manufacturers), the USB drivers for Vista, Windows 7 and 8 Win 64 bit operating systems are available.  There are many users Palm Desktop 4.x strives also to the declaration.
  
  I have synced my TX my Vista64 laptop computer bits and Windows 8.1 HP spectrum X 2 hybrid successfully through my USB cable.
  
  The drivers are located here:
  
  Aceeca Driver Downloads

  (NOTE: as of today, 01/08/2016 Aceeca site to be down for 'construction'.)  Drivers can also be found here: http://www.palmdr.com/windows-7-64-bit-usb-drivers)

  Installation instructions for Windows 7 (from Aceeca) are included in the download.
  
  Basic instructions:
  
  1 download the drivers and extract them in the same folder.  Remember the folder that you extracted to.
  
  2. try to HotSync your device.  It will fail.
  
  3. open the Device Manager and look for the yellow Triangle next to the other "Acceca" or "'Palm device ' in the"Other devices"section."
  
  4. right click on the device and choose "Update driver software".
  
  5. choose "Browse my computer for software" and guide them to the folder that you extracted the drivers Aceeca.
  
  6 choose 'Next' in the driver and then file location window tell him 'Confidence always Aceeca Ltd. software', then click on the button "install".
  
  7. I received an error message (Vista64) who told me "the drivers have been installed, but the device could not be opened." I realized my TX had expired, and fell asleep.  I tried a HotSync and it worked!

  Good luck!

  NOTE: Palm Desktop 6.22 may only multimedia show and install.  Here's how to fix this:

  If Palm Desktop 6.2.2 shows only the media and installation, try this: right click on the shortcut for Palm Desktop, and then choose 'run as administrator '.  Other modules should appear.

  To Palm Desktop run as administrator every time in Windows 8 / 8.1:

  Close to Palm Desktop, if it is open.  (This is a very important thing to do when you use 6.2.2 - it has been known to lose data when a computer is shut down without closing the program!)

  Right click on the desktop icon of Palm in the metro screen, then choose "open file location".  You will now see the actual file for the shortcut.

  Right-click on the file "Palm Desktop" shortcut, then properties.  Now, choose the tab compatibility at the top.

  At the bottom of the Compatibility tab is a checkbox: "run this program as an administrator", click OK.

  Try to open the Palm Desktop, all parties must appear.  You can see a box opens when you close the program asking "did the program runs correctly.   I chose 'Yes', and it has been working fine since then!

  If you are using a much older PalmOS device and try using Palm Desktop 4.x, you will need this additional patch Pimlico Software:

  Forum member bobboffin has added this message:
  
  "After you try your first HotSync and failing (as expected) you may be unable to find any trace of the device in Device Manager, making the next step very difficult. It is me, and after some research, I discovered the following trick that allows Device Manager to display hidden and devices not present.
  
  Open Notepad and paste the following two lines are:
  
  Set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES = 1
  Start devmgmt.msc
  
  Save it as SetDev.bat in My Documents.
  
  Open My Documents in Windows Explorer and double-click SetDev.bat. Device Manager opens.
  
  On the view menu, select Show hidden devices.
  
  You can now see in the other position of the device with a yellow triangle against it.
  
  You can now proceed to install the drivers according to the instructions.
  
  Note that the driver supports most versions of Palm OS. "I actually use an Aceeca Meazura 1000 rugged PDA running OS 4.1 - bobboffin.
