Vista 64 Treo 600 Sync Solution that should also work for Vista 32

Ok Here is a partial solution for a Treo 600 (Bell) with Vista 64 (along with my Treo 755p TELUS)
I recently purchased an Acer with Vista 64 to replace a XP machine that was having increasing hardware failures. I did not know at the time there was no support for Vista 64 and that Palm had only released a Vista 32 desktop the week before.
I managed to install the Vista 32 bit desktop software on my Vista 64 machine with no error messages but when I tried to install my Treo 755p I found out about the lack of Palm USB Vista 64 drivers
Insert Palm wasting time on Folio instead of Treo driver support rant @#!%!#%^^!#^@^@!%#!!!!!!! (I know it should be longer but most of it has been said before) Ok back to business.
Treo 755p
On the Palm forums I found the instructions for getting a Treo 755p to sync via Bluetooth
I followed the instruction and purchased a Blue Tooth USP key (Oh and I tried the Kensington - Bluetooth 2.0 USB Adapter first...^$%^@@^@^!!!!! before I found the Iogear USB Bluetooth 2.0 Class 1 Wireless Adapter which works fine and is the only one I would recommend) I now have my Treo 755p working with Vista 64 with only one error message (I'll get back to it later)
Treo 600
I was not impressed with the fact that this device had not support at all from Palm for Vista (32 or 64) $#%^!%!^@^@^%@ (ok I feel better)
I found a suggestion from a UK site that mentioned you could sync a Treo 600 via IR and even suggested the correct IR USB unit to buy (SITECOM CN-100)
http://www.sitecom.com/product.php?productname=USB+to+fast+IrDA+adapter&productcode=CN-100&productid...
Unfortunately that particular IR USP reader is only sold in the UK. So I took a chance and ordered a "Cables Unlimited USB IRDA Adapter tem Number: C250-1160 (about $17.00 Cdn). It arrived a few days later and it installed on my Vista 64 machine immediately without requesting any "driver disk" I followed the instruction from Palm on how to set up a USB Sync and tried to sync. The Vista machine identified the Palm and was willing to work but the Palm desktop and active sync was not responding. I reread the IR instructions and it requires you to complete a USB sync first (@!#$!$#%!^%!#%~%!!!!!!!)
So I took a night to think about it. My only solution I could think about was to see if I could fake out the Palm desktop / sync software. I fired up the old XP device and copied the user profile for the Treo 600 and copied it into the correct location on the new Vista 64 machine. I tried IR sync and low and behold it worked. (Oh and an IR Sync takes a very, very long time) After the first sync I received a few errors, my Documents to Go files were in new locations, some calendar and memos were duplicated all were very minor. I manually fixed those errors and then completed IR Sync and the Treo 600 now works with a Vista 64.
Of course this solution only works providing you have access to your old Profile, but I figure if you been using a Treo 600 you probably not a new user. If your completing a totally new install on Vista I would suggest find a XP machine install it on it and complete sync, then copy that profile to the Vista machine.
Treo 755p Back up Error
The one error I received was it was unable to back up this file PmTraceDatabase
The message read: “Protocol Error: Handheld file could not be opened. (4004)
-SYNCERR_FILE_NOT_OPEN”
I looked for this file in my profile on the old XP machine and was unable to locate it, but I noticed they the Treo 600 didn't have this message when I copied over the entire profile, I tried to do the same with my Treo 755p profile but the error did not go away. So after researching the Palm Forums I found this simple solution
http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&message.id=28291&query.id=134275#...
So now that I have spent the last 3 weeks trying to get both of our Palms working with Vista 64 I figure the 64 bit USB drivers should be available any day now.......oh and I'm now hating Vista less......

  • Vista 64-bit and Treo 600 Hotsync solution that works!

    I too searched many, many forums and sites for a solution to this problem. And I have found it.
    I have an HP dv9260 laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit and Office Pro 2007, which I bought in June this year. And I have been unable to sync my Treo 600 to it - until now. (I had even resorted to syncing to my older Toshiba Tablet PC (WinXP Pro, Office Pro 2003) via standard USB sync cable, connecting the Tablet to the new HP with a Belkin Easy Transfer cable, exporting my updated Contacts, Calendar, and InfoSafe records to .vcf, .ics, and .txt files, then transferring between the HP and Tablet, and then importing them into the appropriate app - Whew! man what a pain.
    Now I have found a far more elegant and simple method. I found an Infrared USB 2.0 adaptor (dongle) at the Chunwai_1996 store on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-USB-2-0-IRDA-ADAPER-4Mbps-SUPPORT-VISTA_W0QQitemZ110164766509QQcmdZViewItem) for $8.33 USD + $5.67 USD S&H (total $14.00 even) (I believe that the price is now $12.49 USD + $5.67 S&H.) , which said it supported and supplied drivers for 64-bit Vista. It took a little over two weeks to receive the device from Hong Kong (received yesterday, 08-31-2007).
    I checked the mini CD that shipped with it but found no Vista drivers. So I just plugged it into a USB port on the laptop. Vista immediately recognized the dongle and installed generic Vista 64-bit drivers from Microsoft. I tested the unit by placing the Treo near it. The unit recognized the Treo as a legitimate device! Next, I followed the directions I found in another thread that had been successful with USB 2.0, Vista 32-bit drivers, and the Treo 600, with one slight modification. Here is a repost from the Vista-Help.ca blog by Kerry Brown, verbatim except for a couple of modifications and few additional steps.

    Palm Treo 600 with Vista and Office 2007
    I've had a lot of people ask about how I got my Treo 600 phone to sync with Outlook 2007 in Vista so I thought I'd write up the procedure. Hopefully Palm will have new Vista compatible software soon but in the meantime here's how I got it working on two computers so far. First you have to use Vista x86. I couldn't get it to work with Vista x64. If you've already tried to get it working then you have to clean up all the leftover stuff before continuing.
    1. Uninstall Palm Desktop
    2. Insert the CD that came with the Treo but don't let it autorun.
    3. Navigate to the correct language folder on the Treo CD and right click on setup.exe
    4. Set the compatibilty for XP SP2 and Run as administrator.
    5. Run setup.exe
    6. During the install the initial sync may fail. Just tell the installation to continue.
    7. If you want to sync with Outlook make sure you pick this option during the install
    8. Once it's finished close the Hotsync System Tray application.
    9. In Windows Explorer go to the Palmone folder in Program Files.
    10. Right click hotsync.exe and set it to run in administrator mode with XP SP2 compatibility.
    11. Do the the same for palm.exe.
    12. Start the Palm Desktop and change the Hotsync settings to manual start.
    -and- 12a. ******* Check the Infrared option to make it active and available *******
    13. Exit Palm Desktop and reboot.
    You should now be able to sync the Treo 600 with Outlook 2007 or Palm Desktop. You will have to manually start the Hotsync application and deal with a uac prompt because it is set to run in administrator mode. The sync only works when Outlook is not running. You also have to sync twice. The first time you will get errors about the default folders for Outlook. Ignore the errors and press the sync button again. If it still doesn't work reboot and try it again. Good luck. Let me know if you find an easier procedure.
    =====================================================
    After rebooting the laptop, I performed the following additional steps:
    A. Manually started the Hotsync app (you can put it in the Startup folder to auto load at Startup).
    B. Set the Custom options to "Desktop overrides Handheld" for Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Notes - this may help avoid duplicates from the first Hotsync. Also, this is just a temporary override from the default setting "Synchronize the files" for each selection.
    C. Selected Hotsync on the Treo and enabled the Infrared option.
    D. Pressed the Hotsync 'button' on the Treo and placed it pointing at the Infrared dongle.
    The Hotsync ran to completion without errors! Though it did take a good deal longer since it only runs at 115.2 kbps vs. the 480 Mbps of USB 2.0, I am happy.
    Hope this helps others with Vista 64-bit systems and Palm OS handhelds.
    Cheers.

  • For those of you with a Windows computer and the iOS device is not syncing or showing up in iTunes. here is a known solution that has been working for tech support!

    I know this seems to be an emerging issue ever since the update to iTunes 11.1.4, some iPhones or other iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes or syncing. I'm not sure if Apple really knowns of this issue, but tech support has a (mostly) sure fire way of resolcing this issue. It's only for Windows computers though.
    Go to the article http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 and follow the Section 5 Verify Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed. When you clik on that section, go to your version of Windows (it seems to be happening mostly across Windows 8) . And then to the section: If Apple iPod, Aple iPhone, or Apple iPad is listed.
    The gist of what you need to do:
    Windows 8 (since it seems to be the most affected) move your cursor to the upper ight corner of your screen) and click on the Magnifying glass. Type in devmgmt.msc and this should bring up the Device Manager. Onc eyou are in the device manager, look for the "Portable device" or "Universial Serial bus Controller" list, and you should see the "Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod" listed. Onc eyou see it, right click it, choose "Update software driver." Now, IT WILL SAY THE DRIVER IS UPDATED. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Select "Browse my computer for driver software." Onc eyou choose that, select "Let me pick from a lsit of drivers on my computer." You should see the option "Have Disk." Choose that. Again, I KNOW you do not have a physical disk, but the file we need is already on your computer. After Hard Disk, choose Browse again. Follow this file path to the file we need: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.. In the Driver's folder, you should see the "usbaaple" or "usbappl64" (if you have the 64 bit for Windows). Double click on that file, and hit OK. The file should install, and once it's finished check your iTunes!!! You may want to unplug your device and plug it back it before doing all of this. I REALLY hope this works for you all as well!

    How can I change my file extension from m4p to something else? I have had no success being able to play or burn my purchased music. I keep getting error 2122. If I can change the format I should be able to move it to another player or at least burn it in Nero. Thanks.

    I believe you need to have XP with Service Pak 3 as a minimum for most CS6 applications.  You should check all of the system requirements because I think you also need to have a 64-bit machine as well.   Here is a link...

  • Do the life proof cases for the iPhone 5 also work for the 5s?

    Do the life proof cases for the iPhone 5 also work for the 5s or are the cases different for the 5s?
    Thanks!

    Do cases made for iPhone 5 also work with iPhone 5s?
    While iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s have the same shape and size, the camera and LED flash are different. So cases made for iPhone 5 may affect the camera operation on iPhone 5s, and vice versa. When shopping for cases, you should choose one specifically made for the iPhone model you own.

    As long as it meets the minimum technical specifications, although the more above the minimum you have, the better the experience.

  • How can I add a Website Project in a solution that should be excluded from source control?

    Using VS 2013 update 4
    I currently have a solution with a couple of Class Library Projects and Web Application Projects and all of these are bound to a source control (VS Online). Now I added an Existing Website Project in the same solution by choosing a Local IIS instance. However,
    I don't want this Website Project to be in source control.
    I have tried File > Source Control > Advanced > Change Source Control ... and then clicked on the website project and then clicked Unbind. By doing this, it seems that the project was unbound. However, as soon as I close the solution it asks me
    to save the .sln file and seems that it restored the Scc*** info in the file.
    I also tried editing the .sln file and set the SccProjectEnlistmentChoice* = 0 (of the website project, under GlobalSection) and then set the ProjectSection of the WebsiteProject to 
    SccProjectName = ""
    SccAuxPath = ""
    SccLocalPath = ""
    SccProvider = ""
    instead of "SAK". This actually worked for me but everytime I open the solution, Visual Studio alerts an error saying "Unspecified error". This is the closest I got into solving this.
    Is there a proper way of doing this? I think the proper way should be the "Unbind" method but it seems that it's not working as expected.
    Let me know of other solutions.
    Cheers!

  • HT1296 Comcast does not allow me to use iCloud to sync my iPhone.  An apple genius gave me a special DNS server to allow syncing.  That did not work at home.  So I used a secure proxy server outside the US, and then was able to sync.

    Comcast claims that are not blocking ports.  Technically from what I understand they are not.  They just don't recongnize the iCloud server address on their DNS.  An Apple Genius gave me a "free access DNS" which they use in the Oakrigde store to sync to iCloud.  It works great in the store with my computer and iPhone but not at home.  After a comversation with an IT person in Germany he explained that due to the limited number of ports available and the almost infitinite appetite for ports companies often choose to manage the number of ports avialable for use by their customers.   What did work for me was to use a secure proxy server with secure encoding.  It works great!  However as the cloud does seem to go down from time to time I would prefer to also have the USB cable option for syncing. 

    This does not make sense. If comcast blocked iCloud.com there would be millions of posts here about it, as comcast is one of the largest ISPs in the US. Most likely you have DNS settings messed up in your router or your computer. Ports and DNS have nothing to do with each other. A "port" is just part of a complete URL. Using a port does not have any affect on the ISP, who doesn't even see the port in the packet.

  • Calendar sync problem.... SOLUTION!!  It worked for me!!

    Hi folks. My head has many briuses from banning it on the desk but I may have a fix that will restore some of the calendar probs we have had with update 9.1.79
    I have a Ph.D (poke and hope diploma - Joke!!) in computing, but I made this work.
    I have got my calendar to re-sync and lost the message of "Mobile Sync has stopped working" by doing the following.
    I called support and they gave me a link to remove ALL contents that i-tunes installs and there are many including Bonjour etc..
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Do exactly as it says in the drop down menus and remove EVERYTHING. I had to restart my PC in safe mode (press F8 at start up) to get at a couple of files that needed the administrators permission to delete.
    I then restarted and had to delete the file itunes library.itl (I actually dragged it to my desk top from the directory C:/my name/Music/itunes
    This was because I installed the earlier version of itunes (9.0.1) and it could not read this file so i removed it.
    I then downloaded itunes version 9.0.1 and installed it.
    Started up itunes and did a sync and it worked!!!
    I hope this works for some one else. If so, go into settings and dissable Get automatic updates until Uncle Mac fixes the bug!!
    Good luck,
