• Data transfer Palm Pilot IIIx for Blackberry 8320 blackBerry smartphones

  Thanks to BBSingh for help posting this message. I would really appreciate help from the members of the forum to provide a remedy that is known to work with my Palm and Blackberry.

  My problem is changing my old (December 1999 vintage) Palm IIIx data to my new Blackberry 8320. Years, I have used the Palm in conjunction with a Motorola L7089 (April 2000 vintage) and their IR ports for data transfer; Unfortunately, the phone fell in water and after drying carefully, he could make and receive calls again its screen remains empty, so no need to send SMS and most of the functions. Sales team convinced me to buy the Blackberry, but I'm starting to wonder if I've been conned, as usual with sellers once they get your money that they are not prepared to do anything else. New technology has undone me. In the long task of transfer of several thousand items manually I had recourse to the expertise of this forum.

  A tip I found has been updated the Blackberry Desk Top Manager to v4.6 and it would list the Palm in its devices to transfer data from. I did, but the resulting Wizard at the point of registration of the Palm, but it wouldn't activate a greyed on the option button. DTM for Windows status options System Tray icon COM1 has been disabled. I could allow it, but as soon as this dialog box has been closed COM1 returned to the disabled state. BTW, this is a non sequitur on COM1 Hotsync of Palm transfers data to the PC via COM1 and the Palm software tools works very well also. I closed all the related applications of Palm and it made no difference. I tried DTM 4.5 with the same result. As an aside how the icon options DTM is deleted from the system tray, Windows Task Manager should be used to close the application.

  Another tip say to export data from Palm in Outlook Express, then DTM would need to be OE. I enabled OE reluctantly because it is a questionable product, a favorite oxymoron is "microsoft security", has exported the Palm data in a CSV file, but when they are imported to OE it's garbage. Repeat the exercise but exported as tab delimited and got a worse result. Try to import or the other of these abortions in my Blackberry has been a waste of time.

  Another tip say export data from Palm as VCF which can import BlackBerrys, but did not say how they did it. Palm tools allows only the comma or tab files in the delimited export formats.

  MY PC is a Dell 4600 with 2 GB of RAM and 300 GB SATA HDD, XP Pro SP3, so that all the relevant fixes SP3 post. Windows Firewall software, the AV and malware have been temporarily disabled, and I logged in as administrator too.

  RESOLVED - 98%

  A big thank you to everyone who contributed ideas. Here is the solution to most data transfer: -.

  1. install the Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.5

  2. download the latest tools of Palm Desktop Manager which is 4.1.4 (I used 3.6)

  3. perform hotsync of Palm IIIx with Palm tools

  4. disconnect the Palm Pilot from PC

  5. connect the Blackberry to the PC

  6. open Blackberry DTM and check ' device (PIN): "appears

  7. Select the device switch Wizard, grant conditions and the next screen shows active button for Palm devices, click Next

  8 calendar, addresses, etc. are read, previews of each appear for approval; with the exception of the calendar. Click OK to finish and get out

  9. close DTM, disconnect Blackberry

  10, opening relevant applications on Blackberry to check, all transferred no problem except the grille which was empty

  I can live without the old calendar entries and do not have to manually re-create handfull. So the question is settled.

• Restoration of lost data on an old Palm Pilot?

  Restoration of lost data on an old Palm Pilot? My Palm Pilot erased when I don't keep not loaded. I backed up more data on my desktop, but I don't know how to get saved, transferred data to my Palm Pilot. How can I get the Palm Pilot back up and running?

  How do backup you the data?  Palm OS devices come with disks that contain Palm Desktop.  To back up your data, you perform a HotSync operation on your computer.

  To restore data, do the same thing!  If your device is really empty, Palm Desktop will recognize as such and it will ask you, "create a new account or use an existing one?  Choose existing, and choose your original account name Hotsync.

  If you saved it another way, then I can't help you without details.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

• Just upgraded to the new version and now adjust no longer works, what is the solution?

  After the upgrade to a newer version the shrink to fix the width of the screen no longer works. What is the solution?

  Code changes for the HiDPI landed in Firefox 22 and later (bug #844604).

  You can change the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and increase or decrease the value of 0.1 or 0.05 as follows to adjust the size of fonts and other elements in Firefox.

  • The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref is a string parsed in float value and allows you to adjust the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) specifically (resolution 0.1 or 0.05).
  • You can use values between 0.05 and 1.0 to reduce the size of the elements or use a value greater than 1.0 to grow and enlarge the elements (percentage divided by DPI, % / DPI).

  If the web pages must be adjusted after changing this pref so you can watch Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint.

• Pandora radio is not working properly, they saty I need to upgrade to a newer version of firefox. Not very clear how to do this? fire fox says I have an old version. I need help to update, why it so difficult?

  Pandora radio is not working properly, they say I have to upgrade to a newer version of Fire Fox. Fire Fox very little makes it clear on how to do it. I'm not a computer genius! I have an outdated version. Summer

  You are using Firefox 3, which is the previous major version. The current version is Firefox 7. I'm not familiar with your Facebook plugin, so I don't know if it is compatible. If it isn't, Firefox will automatically tell you and ask you if you want to check the updates. You can download the installer of Firefox 7 by clicking here.

• Migrating from a Plam T E2 to a 'New' Palm T E2?

  OK - market on another level... I have several reconditioned Palm Tungston E2 I bought off Amazon... and will have bad sync for the 'new' Palm.  Palms are the same exact material - all Tungston E2.

  The instructions on the web site of HP/Palm to install the software that came with your handheld ' because the E2 a code as the handheld 'needs or something to that effect.  I don't know if it's the 'specific hand who held' or T E2 series.  I did it with a single device several months ago and it worked but was a lot of gymnastics.

  I tried once again to migrate to still a 'new' pocket computer and could not run - and nor would my only "current" synchronize plus or - on a Vista PC.  However, I hooked the ' one up via the USB port on my old XP PC which had given at least years and he left sync'd beautifully!

  Can someone tell me if I have to re - install the software from the disc - really?  OR could I just do a "" Desktop replaces handheld ' on the most recent Pocket? "  One thing... maybe I need to use the disk to put the user name on the new hand.  I tried it (on Vista he) & after a couple of times the software does not work do not let me even access the topic 'material set up' to name the new hand.  And the new pocket computer does not have the username added to it and it would be even more is in contact with the Vista.

  No idea what I am doing wrong?  I'd like to just uninstall everything on the desktop and reinstall Palm Desktop 6.22 on the HP website and start again... and do a hand replaces desktop. . but I don't know if it will work more.

  I guess my real preference at this stage would be to run the old Windows XP machine, so I I can use Documents to go Version 8 (which works with the E2 T) as well as with the Palm Desktop (and of course Agenda 6 of Pimlical).  But I need to get my user name and the data on the 'new' E2.   I have the mose current Palm Desktop aready on this XP machine. Yet once, I followed the instructions on the HP website to do all this on the Vista... but there is something (I'm) missing!

  Thanks in advance for the help!  Deb

  Hi WyreNut!

  Sorry for my LATE reply to your reply... flat other computer problems - which are now corrected.

  So are you saying I can reset the new E2 just hard, then sync it and the synchronization process will ask you a user name because he is not a (still) on the new E2?  No need to run the installation disc?  I just want to be clear.  What I have to do a 'Desktop replace hand held"in sync, implemented?

  OK - Thanks again for the help!

  BTW - my plan of choice now is to synchronize with a portable old XP I where all the features of the thin Palm wokred!

  Yes, when make you a good Hard Reset of a Palm device, then perform the first HotSync, Palm Desktop will give you the opportunity to create a new account, or using an existing one.  When you take existing, all data will be flowing to the new device.  Yet once, back up your important data is recommended before attempting this.

  You can set the lines to crush the Hanheld if you wish, but this is normally not necessary.

  The installation disc is not necessary.  If you run it, Palm Desktop 4.x will be installed and cause confusion.

• I'm upgrading to a new Mac Book Pro, my 'old' goes to a friend!

  Hi all, I'm going to upgrade to a new Slimline Mac Book Pro, my 3 year old outgoing Mac Book Pro goes to a good friend of mine, I tried for years to make him give up Windows, finally, he took the bait.

  So I ask, how is it best to prepare my old MBP before transfer of ownership.?

  Is it perhaps as simple as simply format the hard drive and leaving who?. If so, how it would be able to get a copy of ElCapitan? Then would he be easy to get a free copy of Pages, Numbers and Keynote?  or maybe they are included in ElCapitan? I remember that I had to pay for them, 3 or 4 years ago.

  Questions, and is there a page I can point him that will help his PASSAGE from Windows to Apple to be as painless as possible, otherwise that I lost a very good friend!

  Later: -.

  The links below all refer them to a version PREVIOUS to Mac OS X, so I don't think they're quite accurate?
