• Windows Reloaded - Palm Desktop Sync

  I recently needed to reload Windows XP on my computer.  All the contents of my Palm Desktop data were moved to a backup folder. I need now re - install the Palm Desktop software and Resync with my Centero.

  I'm not sure what the procedure is after reloading of the Palm desktop application

  Can I just resynch with my certero without having to move the data from the backup of files to the Palm desktop application or can just sync and have my update of centero palm files? The data on my centero matches what was in the backup folder.

  Hello bigdogron and welcome to the forums of Palm.

  The process that I found that works best is:

  1 copy the entire folder of the Palm of the backup location in the folder c:\program files.

  2 reinstall the Palm Desktop application in the path: c:\program files\palm.

  3 reinstall third-party software like Chapura or DataViz Documents To Go Pocket mirror; restore the office with the new installation pipes.

  4 re - synchronize your Centro.

  Just keep in mind that when you install this software, you must have the Administrator role applied to your user account so that the folder c:\windows Windows and Windows registry is updated correctly.  Once the software has been installed and you have made at least a good HotSync, you can revoke the rights if necessary admin.

• 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 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.

• 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?

  Comments are welcome.

• 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 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.

• Installation of Palm Desktop on Windows 7

  Initially, I tried to install from the CD that came with my Palm, but when he could not find the device drivers for my Palm Centro, which I've had for over a year, I uninstalled Palm Desktop, downloaded the latest version on the site and tried to reinstall again.  In both cases, the device drivers cannot be found and I don't know what to do, this is why I am contacting you today.  Please help - I hate having to get rid of my Palm and go to iPhone just because you guys are not all compatible with Windows 7.
