• Centro palm desktop - sync calendar, freezes

  My little subject line said about everything.  Been syncing fine until today that used to synchronize the calendar.  Initially, it wouldn't sync and the log says my calendar or my computer was full, so it wouldn't sync.  Now, it freezes just straight up trying a sync schedule & calendar.  With the help of desktop 6.2.2.  Everything syncs ok if I put the calendar to ' do nothing '.  the search of funds to find errors returns no corrupt files.  Nothing appears overtly wrong with the calendar on my centro.  Earlier today, a group of appts disappeared from the phone (before I tried to synchronize and failed).  After the synchronization has failed, the starters were back in double.  I went back and remove duplicates (leaving only 1 entry each) on the phone, but it still won't sync.  There is no duplicate desktop, as I can tell.

  So now what should I do?

  I had this same problem. I spent about 2 hours, the phone today with the support of palm. Here is the result: on the centro that I had to find and remove corrupt files (calendar of events) there. For example, I have a 4-5 years event that would only "uuu1" or some similar nonsense. What Palm had me do is go on a third party site and download a version of an application called dbfixit. www.pimlicosoftware.com. the software detects the problem but the free trial version can not fix this so I had to go to each corrupt event and remove it myself.  I don't think that my support person realized that the freeware version could not the problem of automatic adjustment. So there was a little confusion there... but in the end, I have everything fixed and hotsynched (rescue) I hope this helps you,

• 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 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.

• Palm TX - sync Bluetooth with Windows 8

  I just bought a HP Envy 6 computer laptop with Windows 8 installed... only to find out that I can't use traditional crib with my Palm TX handheld sync.  I now use Bluetooth for HotSync operations.  I installed a Bluetooth adapter on HP laptop and set up the Bluetooth on the Palm TX handheld and everything looks like it's working in a perspective of Bluetooth.  However, when you try to use the HotSync of Palm... I get the error message "Cannot start the HotSync operation because the port is currently in use by another application".  I tried to configure serial ports Bluetooth on laptop with HotSync Manager, but that does not work either.

  Any suggestions?

  The TX can also sync via wifi, or you can use the Aceeca drivers to return to a simple connection of the USB cable.

• 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!

• Separate installs Palm desktop for Palm M505 and its applications, Palm Treo 680 and its applications on the same computer in Windows XP?

  Hello:

  I'm doing a work around. I have a Palm M505 with a fantastic keyboard that connects to it. This allows me to write documents in a very portable way. The Treo 680 has never been the equivalent external keyboard, really full compatible with it rendering. So, I want to create documents on the M505 but otherwise use especially the Treo 680.

  That's the problem. When I tried to synchronize two devices for my Palm Desktop version 4.1.2 for Windows XP, it did not work. HotSync to synchronize applications that do not work on the M505. In addition, versions of Documents to Go are very different (5.x versus 8.x).

  I have a separate installation of Palm Desktop for each device, so I can have a nice desktop environment for each launching them separately. But the Palm Desktop installation "Wizard" stops and does not give me the opportunity to do a separate install of funds.

  Any ideas other than the purchase of an ultra compact laptop and drop this scheme kludgy? For example, if I had to copy the installed files in files from one directory to another, this work or would would he not put in place in the registry?

  Thank you!

  Very well. Stubbornness is paying off! I could beam documents between my Palm M505 and Treo 680, avoiding the need of complicated synchronization of the two Palms for my laptop. I was also able to transmit documents of both palms to my laptop Dell Inspiron M300, running Windows XP Pro.

  When transferring between Palm devices, the results were better. In the M505, Documents to Go version 5,004 does not translate documents in Microsoft Word format, but in something he calls Word to Go. The Treo has DTG version 8.003, which is able to read files in Word format Go and save Microsoft Word for Windows format natively.

  However, even when transferring a word in the document (old format) Go directly on my Windows XP computer desktop, he gave me a document that I could open, with the text that I would be entered following a bunch of Word characters obviously did not understand. If I add the file from my office to the most recent Documents to Go version on my laptop, I would expect that it it mean in a Word file when it sync for the Treo, but who were not on trial. In both cases, beaming between devices Palm is the simplest solution and has completely solved the problem.

  For readers who are interested, that I so stubbornly tried to solve this problem because I am a typist quick touch. My old Palm M505 plugs directly into a Portable Palm both wonderful, old keyboard which is full size. Because it is a wired connection, I can type fast. This old keyboard compresses in the same footprint folded as some new keyboards external foldover. Even though much more bigger by folding it together in an accordion - like fashion, with record four flat surfaces. The design of this keyboard is now in some keyboards sold by the IGo Corporation (their former name for it was Sierra Stowaway Bluetooth keyboard). But they were unable to find a way to handshake their Bluetooth with the strange configuration Bluetooth in the Treo 680. Why from the library different Bluetooth in the Treo 680 Palm other Treo is a mystery to me, but enough of this tangent. Some interested by this workaround can be curious for the same reasons.

• List of books of clients/email address that syncs with palm desktop 6.2

  Is there (and if not, I think that there should be) a list somewhere of whose books address e-mail clients can be synchronized with a palm Treo (palm Desktop 6.2 release)? I have fortunately use several palm handheld computers for about 6 years now and have been synchronization of AddressBook with Mozilla and Thunderbird now for the last few years. I currently have an m130, but it is time for a "smart phone" that I am a prioritization of all about two transport devices. Unfortunately, the Treo requires the 6.2 palm Desktop version that is not compatible with Thunderbird palm synchronization. I had the idea that Outlook (which I have never used or been exposed to) can be synchronized with the Palm, but something I read gave me the impression that I would need to buy third party software to make this happen, plus the $110 they want for Outlook. I'd like to think there are other choices for someone who simply wants to synchronize their smart phone with the address book of their e-mail client. It seems that this ability to sync would be essential to the turnover of palm and a list of all these possibilities of synchronization would be extremely beneficial for sales, including new sales to individuals are not already initiated on this kind of subject. The absence of possibility to synchronize with Thunderbird can cause just sticking with my old m130 awhile longer and give up the idea of a new nice smart phone.

  Hello and welcome to the Community Forums of Palm.

  I haven't looked lately at the T-Bird plugin for Palm Desktop synchronization... What do you use (apparently successfully)?

  Also what version of Palm Desktop are you using currently?  And what version of Windows?

  In short, unless your desktop is Windows Vista, there is no need to use Palm Desktop 6.2.2.  All new Palm OS Treo or Centro syncs with Palm Desktop 4.1.4E.  The only practical thing PD 6.2.2 is Vista compatibility... it works equally well on Windows XP, but there is no need to use it.

  Hope this helps your decision.

• 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.

  You must follow the instructions in the thread sticky at the top of this section exactly!

  You can't run just one of the files to install the update.
