• iSync & Palm Desktop problems

  I'm trying to move (sync?) my contacts from address book Palm more to the Apple AddressBook. I updated my Palm OS to v. 3.5.3 (and doing a HotSync with the new version) and I am running OSX 10.5.6 on my Mac desktop computer. I printed directions to iSync 'Help' and everything is fine until I opened 'HotSync Manager' (as shown) of my apps. folder. It is said in the statement to "choose HotSync > parameters driving" I don't see this option in my HotSync Manager folder. When I click on the folder, the section on the new window is titled ' HotSync software Set Up ' and the only 2 options are controls "HotSync" which begins just a HotSync and 'Connection settings', which did not mention "parameters of conduct." Thanks in advance for any help / suggestions, I hit the wall.

  HotSync Manager must be a program and not a folder. If it appears as a folder, you can add the ".app" extension Once in the hotsync, parameters of conduct Manager is a menu item

• Problems installing PALM Desktop on XP

  I recently bought a PALM TX to replace a Tungston T.  After a few minor problems, it installs successfully on my work laptop.  Then I tried to install it on my desktop (XP Home) home PC and have experienced significant problems.  Following the Start Here guide I plug my TX before I loaded the software, but the system gave me "unrecognized USB device" constantly.  I started the installation of office, but after a few screens (download far from over), he fails a reboot (I tried this twice).  I disconnected the TX and restarted the installation and it went in the right order.  Computer has expired when I arrived at the stage of 'Synchronization device', I connected the TX and the "unrecognized USB device" came again and when I hit the 'sync' button nothing happened.  In addition, I noticed that the Hot Sync icon installed in the right hand bottom of the screen as it was supposed to.

  I uninstalled the software and tried to restart, reinstall, and even tried to install it from the downloads on the PALM page, including an option 'repair' installation problems.  Nothing works.  And of course it is there nothing on the PALM page: installation problems or even a way to the problem of PALM support by e-mail.

  Is it possible to get this figured out?

  Well, the OS is XP Home.  OK so here's the solution I guess... After trying various scenarios that did not work, I tried just not worth trying to get the new Palm Desktop to work with my TX.  So I unplugged the sync cable.  It is then that I noticed that I had plugged the new sync cable into the USB port to which my old cradle used.  This USB was one that came with my system that is about 4 or 5 years (I think it is called Technology USB 1).  However, I have also a new USB 2 card in my system so I decided to give that a try... and it worked.  The system immediately recognized the new TX and everything worked fine after that.  So I guess the lesson here is that the newest Palm requires the latest USB technology even if I've seen that in any of the documents.

  And thanks to those who tried to help me with this problem.  It's really appreciated.

• Problems with Palm Desktop

  This isn't a matter of timing, but I write it here because it's the only instance that is specifically for Mac. I use Palm Desktop on the same computer (an old iMac, one that looks like a desk on a dome lamp) for years. All of a sudden will not open Palm Desktop. I tried to reinstall the application several times without success. I even deleted all the support files that I could find, although I can't be sure that I got them all because I was not able to find a list of what the Palm Desktop Setup installs, and there is no uninstall option. It comes to Palm Desktop 4.2.1 which should be the latest version because I downloaded again, since the problem occurred.

  What should I do? Everyone knows about this problem before? And how to fix it?

  OK, I got it fixed now. Thanks Alan!

• 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.

• 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 Access does not update

  I am trying to sync my Palm E2 with my Dell desktop (windows 7, 64 bits).  Palm hot sync seems to work very well, all 12 updates take place and the E2 and office reflect all the data has been updated.  However, when I go to access software, no data was transferred from the E2 on the desktop.

  Have reinstalled Desktop Access 6.2 and sought the C drive to see if there is another access to Palm and there are no. Not sure what the problem is?  I did the same process on my laptop yesterday, Windows 8, 64-bit and everything worked finre.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Have you installed the drivers Aceeca to win 64-bit operation?  Palm Desktop will not work otherwise.

  Check if there is another available in Palm Desktop user.  Many people have recently reported the same problem as yours, when all through transfers data but to a different user account name.   Click on the 'User' area in the upper right.

• 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.

• HP Mini 210: Palm Desktop (see 6.2.2) lost address book during and after the upgrade to Windows from December 10

  The problem is not with the HP Mini. This computer is running Windows 7 Starter and he Hotsyncs perfectly with my Tungsten C handheld. The problem is with a Dell Vostro, but because it is a problem of Palm, I hope you can help.

  My Dell Vostro has been upgraded to Windows 10 in September. I had a few problem get the Palm to synchronize at this time, but I thought her and successfully synched bases Memo, address and the Date of all the way up to 10 Windows update that Microsoft pushed around Christmas.

  The first Hot Sync attempt after the update given my address book disappear from desktop ONLY (running version 6.2.2) and I was not able to find a way to restore the address book on the desk.

  Handheld still works fine. As I said the HotSync with the HP Netbook (Windows 7 Starter Edition) and I would like to continue to use it as long as ITO still works.

  Try using the Import/Export built-in in Palm Desktop.

  On the PC that contains the data, go to File/Export (while the address book is open and being viewed).  This will produce a file that you can copy to the Dell PC.  Use a flash drive, Cloud Computing service, card SD - it doesn't matter.

  On the Dell, go to file/import and locate the file.

  Windows 10 has caused some 'quirks' to appear in Palm Desktop.  We learn that we will!

• Palm Desktop by Access 6.2.2 shows that media and installation options

  I run Palm TX on desktop PC Windows XP with Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and laptop Windows Vista business - no problem with the Xp machine

  Palm Desktop by Access 6.2.2 worked but now only shows the multimedia options and install - everything else like calendar and address book does not appear. Installation of the Tools Option shows only the media as Start Up application while the Synchronization Manager Hot shows like (such as calendar and address book) checked (selected) and synchronize files.

  First of all, I used the repair option of access, then the option remove access and followed by a relocation of access etc, but access see the only media and install.

  I had tried to get the Palm TX to run the Bluetooth and WiFi on the Vista laptop without success and removed the battery Bluetooth BlueSoleil and Driver v2.6.0.1 and succeeded him. I did see if Palm would work with another usb Bluetooth key and solve another problem. It is at this point that I noticed that Palm Desktop by Access did not show the normal functions. I rebooted BlueSoleil and I still have that media and install it on the Palm Desktop.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to get Palm Desktop to work properly.

  When you open it try right clicking on it and then click Run as admin. If this does not return or if you have more questions after return.

• Palm Desktop password protection

  Although I no longer use my handheld device Palm (Treo 755 p) I use the desktop app from Palm on my computers, mainly because I like the software allows for the protection of specific password of any given note, contact, or another entry.  When I recently added software for my new Surface 2 Pro 8.1 Windows running, it seems to work correctly.  However, when I tried configured for password protect the program, it shows that a password is not assigned and notes that I have to put a password in the device.   The device has a password, but I can't connect to the Surface either via USB or Bluetooth.   Apparently, the two are incompatible.  However, the kicker is that on my tablet running Windows 7, the password that I use to enter the desktop application is NOT the same as that defined for the device.   I don't remember how I put this on the Windows 7 computer, but I guess I had connect both devices.   Please help if you know of a way for me to use my password on the Surface without connecting to the Palm, or if you know how I can connect the Palm to the Surface Pro.    FYI, when I use bluetooth to try to connect to the Surface and the Palm, a password is generated for the Bluetooth connection and as soon as I get it, I indicate that it is connected to the Palm.  However, after about 5 seconds, it shows no connection.  The same result occurs whenever this is attempted.

  Hello and welcome to the HP support community!

  Not sure about the problem of password.  There are several users in the program?  Could you be redirected to another by mistake?

  Most likely the Surface runs a 64-bit version of Win8, correct?

  You should see the message sticky at the top of this section on the 64-bit drivers USB for Palm Desktop.  This can allow you to Hotsync via a USB cable.

  This is the first post I've seen on the synchronization to a tablet of Surface!  Please keep us informed as to the outcome.

• 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.

• 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.
