Palm Desk Top 4.2.1 on Mac to be Compatible with Windows XP

At work I am using a Mac with Palm Desk Top 4.2.1 for creating a data base for customers. At home I have a PC with Windows XP. I want to be able to work from home to enter information but I am not sure what download version I should use that will be compatible with my computer. I am just new to Mac computers at work, so everything is new to me. Would appreciate any suggestions.

To WyreNut,
Thank you for your information on loading software for my Palm Desktop 4.2.1 to my PC using Windows XP. I was able to get it loaded but I am not able to create an address book to work with our names data base. I can get Contacts but that is it. I read the manual you had sent the link to as well, but it did not give me the information I needed. I did print up instructions from our Mac but what I downloaded is not the same. If you have any other suggestions I would love to hear them.
Thank you,
Are you using a Palm device, or just the software?
If using the device, when you do a Hotsync to the PC, all data should transfer to Palm Desktop.
"Contacts" is the newer name for the "Address Book", so I'm not quite sure what you mean by not being able to create one...?

How to create documents on Mac that are compatible with Windows?

I have just started working in InDesign for a client who uses InDesign and wanted me to learn the program so that they could make changes on their own in the future to documents I create for them. I am working on a Mac OS 10.6.2 They have PCs and are working in a Windows environment. I sent the first packaged dvd for their printer and sent it to them last week. Everything looked beautiful on this end, no errors, packaged with links and fonts. When they received the disc the font files on the disc that looks perfect on my computer-- on their computer all read as 0kb and they can't make it work. I have used truetype, type 1 and open type fonts. I just read something in an earlier discussion about true type and T1 as being problematic with PCs? What can I do to be compatible?

My apologies. I find working in unfamiliar computer systems challenging and after over an hour on the phone trying to help an inexperienced PC user find fonts and find her way around InDesign with which she was even less familiar on a PC, a platform with which I have had no experience in the last 13 years, I was frustrated. My comment was inapropriate to this forum. I do realize that PCs are valuable tools. The computer system one is familiar with is always the best platform there is when in the middle of a complicated job.

Vista & Outlook 2007 with Tungsten E2 - Hotsync only syncs to Palm Desk top not Outlook

I have a Tungsten E2 for a few years and sync it with no problem on my home computer with Windows and the Palm Desk top.
I just started a new job where we have Visa & Outlook 2007 and would like to keep both systems in sync with my Palm. I downloaded and installed the new version of Palm Desktop 6.2 and the Outlook 2007 Update at work. The downloads went fine. I selected Outlook as my tool of choice. When I did the sync - everything was updated on the Palm Desk top not in Outlook. I tried to remove & reinstall the software but it refuses to recognize Outlook as being my desktop software. I get no errors. Any suggestions?

The 6.2 version has the Outlook 2007 conduits included, you do not need to install the patch for Outlook 2007.
If the data is sync'ing with Palm Desktop but not Outlook you will need to change the conduits to sync with Outlook.
Go to start-programs-palm and look for PIM conduit switcher and change to Outlook.

No Media Button using Palm Desk top 6.2 and Windows Vista

I installed Palm Desk Top on my XP machine today and noticed a Media Button. I have been using the same version of Palm Desk Top on MY laptop which runs Vista Home Premium. How can I get the Media button on my Vista machine?
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

This version of Palm Desktop (and Hotsync) are from Access (the company that acquired PalmSource). Palm does not own these applications and may not have legal rights to modiify them any longer.
Access provided the absolute minimum and did not include any enhancements that Palm made to prior versions of these applications when Palm and PalmSource had better working relations.
Access is currently primarily interested in getting their competing operating system to market.

Palm Desk Top 6.2 Address Look Up Function Does Not Work In Windows 7

I recently upgraded my desk top computer's operating system from Windows Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium.  I synchronize with a Palm Tx PDA.  HP PalmOS customer support Chat helped me work through a compatibility issue that was preventing display of Address, Calendar, Memo and To Do items on my desk top computer via the Palm Desk Top 6.2 application.  I now find that the address look up function does not work (although it worked fine when I was running Vista). Without success, I tried running the repair tool as well as reloading the software (both overlay and clean reinstall). I would appreciate any help or suggestions to fix?

If you are still using Palm Desktop with the Z22 and want to start using the Treo with the same Palm desktop, export the data from the Z22 username in Palm Desktop. Create a new username for the Treo. Import the data into the Treo username then sync the Treo.
Click on the following link for instructions for exporting the data

Can Mac OS 8.6 be made compatible with Windows?

I have one of the first iMacs (8/98) that was originally OS 8.0. It's been upgraded to 8.6 with 64mgs RAM.
I'm starting my own business and need to be able to access MS Window-built sites that have "Audio" icons that, currently, don't work for me. I installed Windows Media Player 7, and sometimes it actually works.
Any suggestions on how to make my old computer more compatible with Window's applications?

In this case, your problem is not Mac and Windows compatibility. It's the old technology (your Mac OS 8.6 software) that won't play the media created by the newer technology (whatever you're finding on your website).
Keep in mind that computers are not appliances. A toaster, for example, has a specific function and will always do that function until its hardware falls apart (my parents had one for 15 years). But a computer's functions can be altered over the years by upgrading and updating the operating system and application software.
In your case, you have old hardware too. You can do a few of things.
1. Your hardware will easily support upgrading your operating system to Mac OS 9. This OS is old too and no longer made, but you can find it second-hand online (Amazon.com) for about $35-$40. Then you can download the latest versions of Windows Media Player and Real Player for Mac OS 9.
2. You can buy a new (brand new or a couple of years old) Mac laptop, which will be compatible with just about everything you'd like. It will also be compatible with future software updates and upgrades for a few years to come.
3. You can buy a new (brand new or a couple of years old) Windows computer to ensure 100% compatibility with other Windows computers.
The bottom line is that you just need something newer. I suggest looking into the Mac OS 9 upgrade first. It's the cheapest potential fix for you. But it's not a guarantee.
Hope this helps! bill

There is a version of Firefox 4 available for PPC Macs:
TenFourFox 4.0.1 Firefox 4 For PowerPC Browser Released
Version 4.0.1 of TenFour Fox, FloodGap's port of Firefox 4 for Power PC
Macs that supports both Mac oS X 10.4 and 10.5. has been released.
Mozilla.org dropped support for OS 10.5 after Firefox 3.6 and for Power
PC with the fourth beta of Firefox 4.
TenFourFox uses almost all the same code as Firefox 4 and has nearly all
the same features, including faster JavaScript, WebM video, and HTML 5
and CSS 3 support, as well as new and emerging Web features, but with
the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast. Out of beta
and it's ready for action, versiob 4.0.1 is a performance, security and
stability update incorporating Mozilla's Firefox 4.0.1 plus AltiVec acceler
-ation for WebM and browser graphics, and G5 JavaScript acceleration.
For more information, visit:
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Source: from http://www.applelinks.com - posted April 25, 2011)
Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
But there is a workaround!
Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
With SilverLight, Microsoft attempted to create their own version of what a replacement for Flash could be - but not to universal acclaim. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards) if you are using a PPC Mac, but even this will not work with Safari 4. Version 2 only works with Intel Macs and does work with Safari 4/5. The solution is to download and install the latest version of Flip4Mac, which now includes a Silverlight component:
http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.htm
But the latest news is that Microsoft will probably abandon Silverlight in favour of HTML5:

Centro HotSync with Palm V6.2.2 Locks up at DATE BOOK - no calendar records on Palm Desk Top

First let me say that I hate the new version 6.2.2 Palm Desktop and the ongoing problems I have doing a hotsync. Today, I had to restart my computer as I "uninstalled" a non related program from my computer. When I restarted my computer and opened my Palm Desktop, all the calendar data was gone. Since my Centro was recently hotsync'd, I hooked it up and tried to perform a sync. The device and the desktop "locked up" at the DATE BOOK function. I found another Forum post where a tech support individual said to "download Pimlico DbFixit Trial version" which I did and ran. It indicated a problem as: Calendar DB-PDat: Both Description and Note are blank - usually a corrupted record. Rec=1508 Date= 1/11/09. I also went into the Palm Desktop and in the "Applications" section found "DATE BOOK" and UN CHECKED it. Running a hotsync again allowed me to update everything EXCEPT the calendar.
HOW DO I FIX THIS AND GET THE CALENDAR BACK ON MY DESK TOP?
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Find the calendar events that Dbfixit found and delete them. Or buy the paid version and it should repair them. Also try hitting the menu button while in Dbfixit (bottom right hand button) Then clicking on Delete/remove all Calendar blobs.

I suppose 3.6V PRAM battery is run out , so you'd better replace it.
Or resetting PRAM could solve the problem.

Can I use my Mac OS iTunes Library with Windows XP under Boot Camp?

Hello. I have a Mac Pro with two drives, a 1TB Mac OS 10.5 drive and a 500GB Windows XP drive. I have a large iTunes library on my Mac OS drive, and I'd like to be able to access it when I'm using XP. I downloaded MacDrive hoping that I'd be able to use the same iTunes library, but I'm stuck as to what to do now. Anyone know if this is possible, and how I can get it to work?

I have my entire iTunes library shared between Mac OS X 10.5.2 and XP (aka. Media Center 2005).
I use an HFS+ volume accessed via MacDrive. In my case I started off with the Windows iTunes as the master (and use it to rip all my CDs). I then set the Mac side running iTunes to use the same iTunes folder as specified in Windows (this is done in Advanced Preferences). I also replaced the Mac "iTunes Music Library.xml" and "iTunes Library" file (both stored in /Users/username/Music/iTunes) with aliases pointing to "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml" and "C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl" respectively.
Note: I suspect the Mac side will need write access to these two files, and as I used FAT32 for the Windows volume the Mac does have write access. However there are now at least two ways for the Mac to get write access to NTFS volumes (MacFuse being one). It may also be possible to tell iTunes to store these files themselves in a common location (not tried that).
While it is not relevant to your query, I have also managed to share my entire iTunes library with Windows Media Player (and therefore also to Media Center 2005). All my music is in Apple Lossless format and I have a directshow filter for WMP to let it play Apple Lossless (or unprotected AAC). I also have a plugin installed to let WMP read the meta tags in MPEG4 (i.e. AAC and Apple Lossless) files.
When I switch from Windows to Mac and run iTunes it does a brief rebuild, when I switch from Mac to Windows it again does a brief rebuild and the result is that the list of music in iTunes on both operating systems is always the same and successfully accesses the same music files on the shared volume. I rebooted back in to Mac OS X at the weekend and was happily accessing the music in Front Row.
