Palm Zire 31 installation on iMac - can't perform initial sync

I am in serious need of someone who has Mac & Palm OS knowledge. I bought a second Palm Zire 31 to replace the my recently deceased Zire 31. I followed instructions, but since I already had Palm installed on my iMac from an earlier Palm M150 and subsequent Zire 31, I am unable to create the first sync between Z31 & my Mac.
I do not want to lose 3+ years of contacts and calendar data which resides on my Mac via previous synchs with my old Palm units.
Should I rename my old Palm installations and try to reload the Palm software CD? If so, how do I do that?
I know more info is needed to help my situation, but ask me and I'll try to answer. - Thanks

You should back up the Address Book and iCal data which is stored on your Macintosh platform, if you are using them—and, using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit—to exchange data with your Palm device.
Then, simply add your new device to iSync using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option, and choose to overwrite the contents of your handheld during the initial event.
If you are instead using the Palm Desktop to synchronize your device, you should be aware that Palm does not provide substantial support for OS X users, though you can browse their technical information library for solutions. Palm has historically been clear the they did not intend to support Mac OS X going forward after the release of OS X 10.4 was anticipated, and have issued only maintenance releases, leaving this responsibility instead to Mark/Space, developers of the Missing Sync for Palm OS.

  • Can't sync Palm Zire

    I am trying to sync my Palm Zire 31 with iSync. I have the 'Apple' conduit installed properly and I have enabled it using Hotsync Manager. When I start iSync and hit the sync icon on the Palm, a sync process starts, but the symbol for the Palm never shows up on the iSync window and the sync times out and fails. I was able to sync with this device before using the Palm conduits and Palm desktop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
    Frank

    It seems that the iSync conduit is found and loaded, but it fails to work. I don't know how to remedy this. Reinstall the conduit? - but where can I find a copy of it? I tried deleting the plist you referred to, but iSync will still not show the Palm after I 'enable Palm syncing' in iSync and enable 'iSync for this Palm' device in HotSync. I did an OS X repair-cleanup (Applejack) before this last attempt.

  • I can not perform hardware test on 2011 imac with mavericks

    I unplug all devices from my iMac and held the d key and still can not get to the hardware test. The Mac store was able to perform it with a wired mouse even after I added more ram therefore I know it can be performed. Am I leaving something out?

    Read the instructions in Using Apple Hardware Test.
    If your iMac shipped with discs, you must run AHT while holding the d key while starting the Mac with its grey Applications Install DVD inserted in the optical drive.
    To force the Internet version of AHT to load: with two fingers hold option d while starting your iMac with a third finger.

  • After installation on iMac, Mavericks Calendar yields only "moving calendars to server account". Can't do anything else with it except Force Close. Please help. Works perfectly on my AirBook. Thanks.

    Now with Maverick, on my iMac, iCal opens only with "moving calendars to server account".  No other function can be performed. It can be only "force quit". (iCal seems to work perfectly on my airbook.) It ran in this mode for 8 hours or more overnight last night, and continued to do so when I restarted 'puter this morning, did Disk Utility functions, and restarted computer. I think I have iCloud settings properly set, but perhaps not. Advice, suggestions are most welcome. TIA.

    No need to worry about the disk version. You would just have to install an update anyway as soon as it was installed. Download from the link provided below and use the serial number you have to activate.

  • Can I create a java app for my palm zire 71 that uses floating point calc

    I am an eclipse user that is looking at studio creator 2 and was wondering if I could create a java app for my palm zire 71. I have read alot about no floating point support in midp... is that true for java on the palm? If so, how does one calculate with floats and doubles to do sqrt functions etc?
    Thanks in advance for your time
    Dean-O

    I looked at netbeans and it does not support floating points in midlets. Not good for palm app if no floating point ability. J2ME supports floating point but in netbeans... is uses midlets and there are no floating points. Now what does one do? Not that dreaded C++
    THanks in advance

  • ISync/Palm Zire 21 question

    Please forgive me if this has been answered. I searched the board and don't see my question answered.
    Palm Zire 21: for the first 3 days, everything was fine except everytime I did an iSync, I had to reset the Palm (change the date, fix the time, etc.). I do not use, and hope I don't need to use, the Palm Desktop software.
    I have Hot Sync 3.2 (Enabled) and iSync 2.3 (Palm Sync Enabled).
    In an attempt to fix this/start from scratch, I got the following message: "In order for iSync to work properly with your Palm OS device, the following HotSync conduits need to be disabled.
    Address
    Calendar
    Contacts
    Datebook
    etc.
    After hitting "OK", those conduits no longer show up in the HotSync>Conduit Settings window (they are all in the Disabled Conduits folder now)
    Now iCal and To Do lists sync just fine, but no addresses show up in Palm AND I have to RESET every single time.
    Can you please help me understand why this would be so? What is markspace.com and do I need to get the "missing sync" there?
    Thank you Thank you Thank you in advance.

    Something clearly isn't right. Likely several things, actually.
    The contents of your active Conduits folder show no conduit conflicts. A couple of thoughts, though…
    You should move the Memo, Memos, Note Pad, Photos and Voice Memo temporarily to the Disabled Conduits folder to eliminate the possibility that any of these (maybe extraneous) Palm conduits are the root of the reset problem. The result will be that your Palm memos will no longer synchronize with the Palm Desktop, but that can be restored by moving the later Memos conduit back into the active folder. If the reset problem is no longer apparent when these conduits are not active, then one issue may be resolved.
    Open the HotSync Manager application on your Macintosh and check to see that the following conditions are true:
    • HotSync is set to Enabled in the HotSync Controls tab, and
    • USB is checked in the Connection Settings tab
    What does your HotSync log—as opposed to the iSync log—say about these events?
    Have you configured the synchronization parameters for your device in iSync by pressing the device icon labeled with your HotSync name to drop down a pane in which you select various contact and calendaring options? Are both Contacts and Calendars enabled?
    When you say, "… the only thing that's now uploading to my Palm is my To Do list" are you sure that in fact, it is to do and not memo information that is being transfered? I ask, because with the iSync Palm Conduit, to do or task data is synchronized by it with iCal, whereas there is no provision in iSync to synchronize memos. And, if iCal task data works, one has to wonder why event data does not synchronize…

  • Palm Zire 31 and Panther

    I Just got a cable for my Motorola V 400. And it works great with iSync. Now I found out that my Palm Zire 31 would Sync with my iCal and Address book and I want it to work. I downloaded the Palm Conduit program and it installed fine. I looked in the help and everything but it won't sync. I rebooted my computer and everything and now when I Hot Sync it says it synced but I looked on iCal and Address book and there is no information vise versa on the palm. Another thing is there is no icon on iSync for the Palm.

    iMac G3 700 (Slot Loading) Mac OS X (10.3.9)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The issue here is that you've installed the Palm Desktop and your handheld is synchronizing with it, but not with the Address Book and iCal.
    If you want to synchronize with the Address Book and iCal, you must install iSync 1.5 and the iSync Palm Conduit 1.2. Those actions will deactivate the standard Palm conduits, which otherwise would conflict with the iSync Palm Conduit, and activate the iSync Palm Conduit.
    You can download the iSync Palm Conduit from here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/isyncpalmconduit.html
    Is is only intended for use with iSync 1.5 and Mac OS X 10.3.9 and earlier.

  • Addresses and Calender events won't show up on my Palm Zire 22

    I just got an iMac with leopard installed. I have all my addresses and calendar events on my mac and I'm trying to sync it to my Palm Zire 22. I've set it up according the the instructions given at isync help.
    It appeared that the sync was successful (my palms says HotSnyc operation complete) and iSync also says Synchronization Complete. But none of my addresses and calendar events showed up on my palm. My palm is still empty. What's wrong? Can someone please help?

    Hi Michael,
    Thank you for your reply. My HotSync log actually gave me OK on all the items you mentioned. That's why I thought it was weird that the sync didn't work.
    However, I tried it again last night, with only the calendar option checked from the iSync dialog and it WORKED! I went back and unchecked the calendar option and checked my "address/contact" option, and it worked too!! Now I have all my calendar events and addresses on my palm. So I guess the solution is that I have to sync and addresses and calendar separately... Not sure if this issue will be solved, but for the time being, at least that what I can do...

  • Hot sync says Palm Zire has successfully synced but no data (using Windows 7 32 bit)

    We have a Win XP desktop on which an older version of Palm Desktop has been working for years and been able to sync with my Palm Zire and my husband's Palm Z22.  Now that we have to decomission Win XP desktop have installed Palm Desktop by Access v6.2.2 and Hotsync v7.0.2 on Win 7 32bit laptop.
    My husband has a Palm Z22 and has had no problems setting up user and syncing using Palm Desktop by Access when using Windows 7.  However, although the Palm Desktop has correctly indentified by device as a Zire and hotsync via cable says it completes successfully no data appears on the Desktop.  In reverse, when I add a new contact on Palm Desktop and sync it does not appear on the handheld.
    Have tried downloading and installing driver from:
    http://aceeca.com/support/sales-support/downloads/product/drivers-32-bit-usb-windows-driver-for-palm...
    However, when I followed the instructions provided with teh 64 bit download my laptop said I already had most up to date driver!
    Please help as I rely on my Zire and need it to back up successfully.

    Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!
    The Aceeca drivers are ONLY for 64-bit Operating Systems.  Since yours is 32-bit, it's not needed.
    Try right-clicking on the shortcut for Palm Desktop, then choose "Run as Administrator".  See if the data appears.
    Another suggestion would be to turn off "UAC" or User Access Control.   Control Panel/Users/Turn off UAC.

  • Is Palm Zire 21 Software compatible with Palm Pre Plus Cell Phone?

    I have an older Palm Zire 21. I love all the features. However, now I am trying to consolidate my Windows (vista) Calendar with my Palm and it is not compatible. I thought I would purchase the newer Palm Pre plus Cell Phone in order to have all of my contacts and calendars on my phone as well as my laptop. Though no one can seem to answer my question: Can I import my contact and calendar from my Zire 21 to the Palm Pre Plus?
    Many thanks to who can answer this for me. I greatly appreciate your time and assistant.

    webOS (the new Operating System) from Palm does not natively sync to your computer, but to the "cloud" (online servers).
    Palm offers a program that will read your Palm Desktop information, and transfer it to Google.  This is only a one-time transfer, and not a sync solution.  See this thread.
