Palm Desktop or MissingSync or PockeMAC - someone at - it a preference?

Hello. Well, I finally understood ISync will not work with sync my Centro with my Macbook so now I have to decide whether to use palm desktop or a 3rd party like missingsync or pocketmac. I have no experience with any of them would be more appreciated your comments! Thank you! Christine

Hello Christine and welcome on Palm forums.

I used Palm Desktop and Mark/Space-the Missing Sync for Palm OS on Mac.  Of the two, I pay money for the Missing Sync.  It is a much better than Palm Desktop application when you use the Mac.  I have not used before PocketMac.  I checked their site and they don't seem to have a client for Palm OS 5, which is the operating system on your Centro.  So it seems island at the moment, the Missing Sync is the only real alternative.

I have two main gripes with Palm Desktop for Mac.  The first is all the evil which I have seen on this Board of Directors and the Brighthand.com trying to get the software installed.  It must be super easy, but for some people, it's a nightmare.  The other big problem is the inexplicable distribution in the HotSync ability, which requires generally that you try and you reinstall the Palm Desktop software that refer to my first complaint.  To get an idea what I'm talking about, check out this thread on the question of transport of Mac OS monitor.

I really like the Palm.  And I've been using Apple computers since 1984, but Palm Desktop for Mac is totally well.

  • Palm Desktop 6.2.2: Palm Desktop 6.2.2 with Windows 10

    What is someone having the same problem:

    I installed Palm Desktop 6.2.2 on my Windows 10 system, sync'd and everything worked fine for about 30 days approximately.  The other day I started my computer, went to Palm Desktop and found all the files (in the left panel) disappeared EXCEPT media and install it.   I uninstalled and reinstalled several times (from sources stored and newly downloaded) and still have the same problem.

    Since the installation of Windows 10 I found Microsoft seeks to establish, it's default applications with a few applications (a real fight with MS / Chrome and MS / Adobe PDF).

    At that time, the folder that I can sync's Photo.   All other folders appear sync, but do not appear in the left vertical navigation bar.

    Everyone knows the same problem?

  • 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.

    I have been using my Palm TX with a laptop Windows 7 for several years and only tried to load the application Palm on a Windows computer, but the HP download site has disappeared (or does not).  I still have the original installation CD, but the Hotsync does not work with Windows 7.  I need to install Desktop 6.2.2.  There are a number of download sites, but I'm afraid, they come with adware.

  • Export from Palm Desktop calendar to .dba archive

    I have data for agenda 2003 to date on my Palm Desktop v6.2.  I would like to archive everything before 01/01/14 by exporting the data in an archive *.dba and then delete the data from Palm Desktop.  The export dialog says that I can choose to archive the items I selected, but does not say how to choose.  I want to select a range of dates - more precisely, 1/1/03-12/31/13.  Someone knows how to do this?

    The Export of Palm Desktop feature, you cannot selectively archive a specific range of dates of the calendar events.  There is a function of the Purge, but he will serve only to items older than a month, not a selectable date.

    One thing you could do, which requires a pocket computer, is to use an application of Pocket called Agenda 6 jointly with a freeware SD card backup utility called NVBackup for more security.  NVBackup lets you back up the entire database because there is at all times on the handheld and allows you to make backup sets so much data that your SD card will hold (max size 1 GB, regular SD card).  And agenda 6 allows you to delete data from calendar before the date.  Then...

    • Export your entire calendar on your desktop.  It would not be limited at all before 01/01/14, but it would preserve everything.
    • Buy and install DateBook 6 of www.pimlicosoftware.com (it is not freeware).
    • Download and install NVBackup.  Run NVBackup on the handheld to create a full backup on a SD card.
    • Then use Schedule 6 to remove the calendar data before 01/01/14.
    • Change the calendar (or calendar) led in Palm Desktop to handheld overrides Desktop.
    • HotSync the handheld to the desktop calendar data.  Palm Desktop calendar data should show then only events for 01/01/14 forwards, but historical data would have been preserved in the file exported as well as on the SD card and you can restore it at any time.

    I hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • Palm Desktop (Palm XT)

    After years of worry-free service use, quite suddenly my Palm Desktop (6.2.2) lost all the usual menu items to the bottom of the left column - except media and install it. It starts in the media and I am totally unable to get to my Contacts, memos etc.

    I have restored my latest backup (Saturday) to no effect and removed and reinstalled the Office - the crazy thing is that when I synced the reinstallation of Office ALL the things missing (according to the synchronization log) were sync'd successfully.

    Someone has an idea all wa\y back view of my items menu or what might have happened?

    It drives me crazy because all my contacts are currently one-get-at-able!

    Try right click on the shortcut for Palm Desktop and choose 'Run as administrator'.

  • 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.

  • Old Palm Vx, synchronization with Palm Desktop

    Hello everyone.

    I try an old Palm Vx synchronization with Palm Desktop. But the Hotsync does not work as expected. After press the SYNCHRONIZATION button in the cradle the process starts with databases "Restore", then with the synchronization.

    When the process is finished the Palm VX. displays a RESTART Message. After that I do this restart I can not use my Palm more. The Palm is displaying the 'settings', but I don't know why. I can not type of the any of buttons, for example the Home button and looks like the Graffiti-Pad is unresolved. I only can do, it's only a hard reset with lost all data. After that, I do a hotsync and the game begins with RESTART and displaying the "settings."

    Can someone help me with this problem? What I am doing wrong?

    Thank you very much. Jens.

    The problem is solved. I installed ReDigi. This little program displays the calibration screen after each reboot hot so I could re - calibrate the digitizer and the Palm works for me once again.

    Thank you very much. Jens.

  • Palm Desktop 6.2 crashing on launch with Vista

    I've been using Desktop 6.2 with Vista for several months.  He seems to have been some bad old data on my TX as Desktop crashes when I go to view months in the calendar for August 2008 and earlier versions, but otherwise very good.

    Starting last week, the application not fully open with a box indicating "Palm Desktop by Access has stopped working" in 1/2 second open strike.  I've been able to hotsync with no problems and no change.  I deleted the app and reinstalled after the re-download of Palm.  Also, I tried to log in as an administrator without help.

    Someone at - it suggestions?  Thank you very much.

    Sounds like the calendar data is currupted. Try to go in Documents on the PC, then Palm OS Desktop folder, then your Hotsync username, you should see a datebook folder, rename it. Then try to open Palm desktop and see if it works. If it does not change the conduit for synchronization and office handheld overwrits agenda. If the problem comes back, you will need DbFixIt to clean the curruption on the TX

  • «.. . Wizard was interrupted before Palm desktop by access could be completely installed. »

    When I try to install Palm Desktop 6.2 by running PalmDesktopWin62.exe everything seems to be okay until the 'configuration register.  Then I get a Microsoft Windows message that says: «...» "The wizard was interrupted before Palm desktop by access could be completely installed." ...".  Then the installation stops and installation is not the case.

    If it's important I use Windows Vista Home Premium.  And until I tried installing, I: uninstalled my previous versions of Palm Desktop by using the uninstall feature from the CD installation disc, disabled my antivirus, stop Windows Defender and set the compatibility mode of PalmDesktopWin62.exe to the option "Windows XP (Service Pack 2).

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Have you tried running just 'normally '?  Disable your AntiVirus software temporarily during installation?

    At this point, you may need to do a "clean uninstall" and some changes of registry before trying again:

  • Palm desktop 6.2.2 lose data

    I tried to fix this with the support of chat with Palm without result.  From time to time my data disappeared from my desk calendar.  They said that the events are purged and backed up each week in the month, according to the period selected in the 'tools', but only 1 week can be chosen in my software.  I reinstalled the software, the same thing.  I can't imagine why someone wants to purge events regularly, I want a calendar for the story, it can provide in addition to future events.  In fact, recurring events have not been purged, separated events only.  Is this a bug in the software that could be fixed?  Or - is it the way Palm 6.2.2 is supposed to be and I need to move to a different calendar program?  I used Palm for years and this is new for me with Vista and 6.2.2.  Fortunately I backed everything up in anothere place, or I'd be really frustrated!

    Oh, okay. I thought it was a Z72. Yes, the Z22 is compatible with PD 6.2 and Vista.

    Some of the reports we've seen is that Palm desktop is open when the PC is turned off, is no is not a function of file - save after making changes.

    We are documenting cases of data loss and are studying the issue. Not sure if this is a problem Windows or Palm desktop.

    Palm Desktop had to be re-designed to function with Windows Access database.

    You have Outlook on your computer? It seems that sync'ing with Outlook, data loss is irrelevant at this point.
