64 Bit Palm Desktop Drivers are HERE!

Thanks to the great folks over at Aceeca.com (makers of NEW PalmOS Garnet devices!), drivers for 64bit Vista and Windows 7 operating systems are here!  (Note: Neither HP, nor Palm can offer support for this driver since it was supplied by a third-party vendor).
I have just synced my TX to my Vista64 bit laptop successfully via my USB cable! 
The drivers are here:
http://aceeca.com/index.php?option=com_maqmahelpde​sk&Itemid=5&id_workgroup=1&task=downlo​...
An instruction file included with the download.
Basic instructions:
1. Download the drivers and unpack ("Extract" or "unzip") them. Since they come in a .zip compressed file, this is absolutely necessary. Remember the location of this folder you unpacked them to as you will be needing it later on in this install routine.
2. Try to HotSync your device.  It will fail.
3. Open the Device Manager, and look for the Yellow Triangle next to Palm Device under "Other devices".
4. Right-click on the device, and choose "Update Driver Software".
5. Choose "Browse My Computer for Software" and direct it to the Aceeca folder you unpacked the drivers to.
6. Choose "Next" at the driver file location window, and then tell it to "Always trust software from Aceeca Ltd." then click the "Install" button.
7. I received an error message (Vista64) that told me "The drivers were installed but the device couldn't be opened." I saw that my TX had timed out and went to sleep.  I tried a HotSync and it worked!!! 
Good luck!  Thanks again to Aceeca and Reb1 for reporting this link here.

After attempting your first HotSync and failing (as expected) you may be unable to find any trace of the device in Device Manaqer so making the next step quite difficult. This happened to me and after some investigation I discovered the following tip that allows Device Manager to show hidden and nonpresent devices.
Open up Notepad and paste the following two lines into it:
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
start devmgmt.msc
Save it as SetDev.bat into My Documents.
Open My Documents in Explorer and double click on SetDev.bat. Device Manager should open.
In the View menu select Show Hidden Devices.
You may now see under the Other heading the failed device with a yellow triangle against it.
You can now proceed to install the drivers as in the instructions.
Note that the driver supports most Palm OS versions. I'm actually using an Aceeca Meazura 1000 ruggedized PDA running OS 4.1

    I have two E2s; the one with all my contacts has a cracked screen.  Is it possible to back this device up?  When I try to click on different icons on the damaged E2, it always misses the icon and selects another.  
    I have Windows 7, 64-bit.  
    I am willing to download anything, or buy a Bluetooth adapter, but don't know if retrieval of the data is possible given the cracked screen.  
    Is it possible to back up the damaged E2 to the undamaged E2 using "beam"?  
    I have read your instructions for downloading the 64-bit version of the hot sync manager, but don't know what a Device Manager is (duh).
    Thanks!

    Can you navigate around the screen using the 5-way pad?  Can you select and open programs with the center button?
    If so, there is hope.

  • 64-bit Boot Image Drivers Are Not Working

    I've been deploying Windows 7 x86 and x64 for years. I've been using the same 32-bit boot image for both and it's been working great.
    We've decided to take the plunge and go all x64 moving forward.  I want to switch to a 64-bit boot image so I don't have to curate the drivers for two architectures.
    I've created a 64-bit boot image, and included all of the 64-bit versions of the drivers in my 32-bit boot image, but they don't seem to be working.  I've tried booting 3 different models, but I receive "Failed to find a valid network adapter."
    I've looked within the boot image, because I wanted to see the driver files.  Either I just don't know where I'm looking, or they're in the "Files" folder where each file is renamed to a number.
    What might I have done wrong?

    I've solved my problem by downloading and importing the Dell WinPE driver pack.  Now I've just got to add the USB 3.0 drivers (I support laptops that don't have optical drives), and I'll be set.

  • Palm Desktop for Windows 7

    No device
    Zire 71 w/Palm os 5.2.1.  Just upgraded to Windows 7.  Is there any Palm Desktop that i can download to continue using my Zire?  Had 4.1 but could not get HotSync to work.  Not crazy about 6.2, but will take at this point if i can find to download.  Thanks.

        Palm wrote there desktop software for Windows 32bit. You need the Aceeca 64bit Windows driver for Palm desktop. If you have loaded and unloaded several different versions of the Palm desktop trying to get things to work you will also need to do a clean uninstall of the Palm desktop software, so everything will work properly. I would first try the Palm desktop version that you have installed on your computer and follow the directions given in the sticky post I have linked. Post back for more info if needed.

        The best way is to install the Palm desktop version you had with your device and hotsync. If your device is still working install the Palm desktop to your new computer and run a hotsync with the conduits set to handheld overwrites desktop.

  • Centro will not Sync with Palm Desktop

    I have removed all Palm references from laptop as suggested in: Community Help Forums : Hardware & Software : Software : Re: Syncs fine -- missing all data in Desktop App with no luck.
    ( http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&message.id=35331&query.id=1042#M35331 )
    I have a Windows Vista, downloaded Hotsync Manager 7.0.2 and all data (contacts/calendar) from Palm Centro will not appear in Palm Desktop.  I have made sure that:
    1. user name in Hotsync is the same as is in Palm Desktop
    2. tried different user name (suggested "Test" ) with no luck
    3. changed name of device through "prefs" icon (at least, in Bluetooth, Device Name is "Palm Centro") I am unable to find another option to change the name of the device for syncing purposes if it is not through Bluetooth
    Any other suggestions?  I have made entries into te Palm Desktop calendar, do a Hotsync and the entries from the Palm Desktop entries are not appearing into the Palm Centro, and the Centro's contacts and calendar entries are not showing up in the Palm Desktop.
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreaciated!

    Do you have the Centro set to sync with Microsoft Outlook by mistake?  Look in Outlook and see if your info is there.
    If it is, you can run a simple program in your Start/All programs/Palm/PIM Conduit Sync/Sync with Palm Desktop to switch it back.

    Hello rlarue, welcome to the HPalm Support Community.
    If I could direct your attention to the topmost posts in this section?  They have a grey background and are called "sticky posts" due to the fact they do not move downwards as new posts arrive, but "stick" to the top.
    That said, you'll find two interesting posts!  "How to sync a TX via Wifi" and "64 bit drivers are HERE".

  • Simplest way to transfer Contacts/Addresses to the Curve using iMac / Palm Desktop ?

    I have a new 8300 Curve and approximately 1500 Contacts/Addresses in my iMac on Palm Desktop ( they are also in Palm handheld).
    I am able to export these Contacts/Addresses to my iMac desktop in various formats: excel workbook, .csv Comma Delimited , .txt Text Delimited, vcard. 
    My computer is an intel iMac with OS X version 10.4.11.
    What is the best/simplest way to transfer those Contacts/Addresses to the Curve? 
    Thanks

    Hi,
    OMG! I know how it feels when we got our all contacts in a tabular formatted file which is created in excel, CSV formatted file and unfortuntealy all the blackberry phones arre abel to rectify only vCard formatted file. This is the reason when i was facing the same problem than at that point of time i find out a simple and free download software which can convert contacts from excel to vCard file format. here is the complete step by step instructions http://www.exceltovcard.onlinetechaid.com/ and you can download it free.  after converting contacts you just have to follow a simple set of instructions which i am going to mention it below and you are able to use all these contacts in your curve or also in another Blackberry phone. so the instructions are :
    (i) Copy all the contacts in your Memory Card.
    (ii)  Now open your file manager
    (iii) select memory card
    (iv) open the location where you save all the contacts in vCard formatted file
    (v) Now click on options in your blackberry phone select "Select All"
    (vi) After that click on addd to contacts.
    Just try these simple way and you are able to use all your contacts in your Blackberry phone and make your life simple.

  • 64 Bit Windows7/8/8.1 USB drivers for Palm Desktop

    Thanks to the great folks over at Aceeca.com (makers of NEW PalmOS Garnet devices), USB drivers for 64bit Vista, Windows 7, and Win 8 operating systems are available.  There are many users reporting Palm Desktop 4.x is also working. 
    I have synced my TX to my Vista64 bit laptop, and Windows 8.1 HP Spectre X2 hybrid successfully via my USB cable. 
    The drivers are located here:
    Aceeca Driver Downloads
    Installation instructions (from Aceeca) for Windows 7 are included in the download.
    Basic instructions:
    1. Download the drivers and Extract them to the same folder.  Remember the folder you extracted them to.
    2. Try to HotSync your device.  It will fail.
    3. Open the Device Manager, and look for the Yellow Triangle next to either "Acceca" or "Palm Device" under "Other devices".
    4. Right-click on the device, and choose "Update Driver Software".
    5. Choose "Browse My Computer for Software" and direct it to the folder you extracted the Aceeca drivers to.
    6. Choose "Next" at the driver file location window, and then tell it to "Always trust software from Aceeca Ltd." then click the "Install" button.
    7. I received an error message (Vista64) that told me "The drivers were installed but the device couldn't be opened." I saw that my TX had timed out and went to sleep.  I tried a HotSync and it worked!!! 
    Good luck! 
    NOTE:  Palm Desktop 6.22 may only show Media and Install.  Here's how to fix that:
    If Palm Desktop 6.2.2 only shows Media and Install, try this:  Right-click on the shortcut for Palm Desktop, then choose "Run as Administrator".  The ther modules should appear.
    To make Palm Desktop Run as Administrator every time in Windows 8/8.1:
    Close Palm Desktop, if open.  (This is a very important thing to always do when using 6.2.2 - it has been known to lose data when a computer is shut down without closing the program!)
    Right Click on the Palm Desktop Icon in the Metro screen, then choose "Open File Location".  You will now see the actual file for the shortcut.
    Right-click on the "Palm Desktop" shortcut file, then Properties.  Now pick the Compatibility Tab at the top.
    At the bottom of the Compatibility Tab is a checkbox:  "Run this Program as Administrator", Click OK .
    Try opening Palm Desktop, all the parts should appear.  You may see a box open when you close the program asking "Did the program run correctly?"   I picked "Yes", and it's been working fine since then!
    If you are using a much older PalmOS device and want to try using Palm Desktop 4.x, you will need this additional patch from Pimlico Software:

  • Re: 64 Bit Windows7/8/8.1 USB drivers for Palm Desktop

    Hi I have found this thread, after trying to connect my Acer S60 to windows 7 64 home
    using palm desktop 4.1.4 and AceecaUSBDx64
    At first I get (I cant remember exact message) device not recognised, so I tried to make the lines in the .inf file match
    the ones seen by device manager
    old        %ACER_DEVICE_ID_01%  = DriverInstall.NTamd64,USB\VID_0502&PID_0001
                   %ACER_DEVICE_ID_02%  = DriverInstall.NTamd64,USB\VID_0502&PID_0736
    new      %ACER_DEVICE_ID_01%  = DriverInstall.NTamd64,USB\VID_0502&PID_0736&REV_0100
                  %ACER_DEVICE_ID_02%  = DriverInstall.NTamd64,USB\VID_0502&PID_0736
    Now the error messages report an acer handheld but I get
    "can't install driver"
     "this type of data not supported" (again I don't remember exactly the message)
    from the driver installer process.
    Any Ideas
    Reason for this activity is the impending demise of XP, where I use palm desktop 4.0.1 (4.0.4 works as well now I have tested it on another XP system)
    I have tried palm desktop 6.2 under XP but the data does not get synced to the PC desktop app (the handheld is not corrupted)
    Thanks Chris

  • Palm desktop sync with Windows 7 64-bit

    I can see that this topic has been beaten to death here, but I can't seem to find an answer despite a number of search attempts.  I'm trying to hotsync a Treo 90 to a Win7 64-bit machine via a USB connection.  I have Palm Desktop v. 4.0.1 running.  I have downloaded and installed the 64-bit drivers recommended here and can see the Treo in the Device Manager - it seems to be running normally, no yellow query.  Yet, when I try to hotsync from the device, it just hangs, waiting for a connection that never happens.  I'd appreciate any advice as to what I might have done wrong or what to do next to try to fix the problem.  Thanks much,
    BRJ
    Post relates to: Treo 90

    I do not know if it will work. In his post at brighthand that he made the Aceeca driver available to the palm community Alex stated that it should work with many Palm devices that were os 4 or 5. You are using an older version of the palm desktop and one of the older os 4 devices. I do know of people with the palm m505 and m515 using the Aceeca driver with success, but they were using a newer version of the palm desktop. I believe most were using the 4.1.4 palm desktop version. I do not know if experimenting with a newer desktop version will help either. 

  • Palm Desktop 4, W7 drivers & HotSynch working. Also, Desktop Text Size Increase.

    Hope this is of use to anyone wishing to continue using their Palm M515 (or similar).
    I am using the M515 with Windows 7 and have the HotSynch working fine.
    A) W7 Drivers
    - Download & Install "ACEECA Handheld Device Drivers" from "Access, Inc." OR "ACEECA International Limited"
    http://aceeca.com/index.php?option=com_maqmahelpdesk&Itemid=5&id_workgroup=1&task=downloads_product&...
       my driver dates: 4/4/2011  (if you cannot find the drivers, or they are removed, email me at   [Personal Information Removed]
    - Ignore the W7 error messages during Install.
    - Device Manager will report "This device cannot start. (Code 10)", but it will work perfectly.
    - The "device" will most likely appear as something like: "PCI bus 4, device 0, function 0"
    B) Palm Desktop 4 software - increase Font Size for better viewing
    Font Size from Desktop 4.1 to 4.1.4 is Too Small--can it be changed. [ Edited ]
    Options
    03-08-2010 03:05 PM - last edited on 03-08-2010 09:51 PM
    Using "regedit" I was able to change the font size larger for use with the Palm Desktop software.
      Run "regedit" and export (save) a backup copy for safety
        File  >  Export  
      Search for "FontSmall"
        Edit  >  Find  >  Find what  >  FontSmall
      Click on FontSizeGeneral and change the "Value data" to 16
      Exit "regedit"
      Run Palm Desktop software and enjoy the new legible font size!
      Notes:
      1) The location of the Palm Desktop software on my system using "regedit" is:
            HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core
            * Your location of the Palm Desktop software may differ.
      2) I tested this on monitors using resolutions of 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768
            The font size is noticeably readable and much, much better
      3) You may also change the font family from the default (Arial) to another, such as Verdana, etc.
            FontCard    (Changes the font family in the side panels)
            FontGeneral    (Changes the font family for most of the program fonts)
      4) Operating System: Windows XP Pro
            Palm Desktop v4.1.4
    C) HotSynch Configuration
    - suggest you disable most of the sysnch options.
    - for 1st synch op., enable by default "Synchronize both ways". The Palm Desktop should prompt for username. Make sure you use the existing "user", ex "Paul" at the "input new user" prompt on Palm Desktop during the 1st time HotSynch. If you get it wrong, do not panic, you will create a new user and Synch all the same. Just repeat the operation with the correct name, verify the data is synched under both users, then delete the "duplicate".
    - After 1s Synch, set defaults for future Synch ops., ie. Synch Both Ways, or Handheld overwrites Desktop...et cetera. Think about how you use the Handhelp and where you generally input most fresh appointments and memos. Personally I "synchronize" both ways in order to no miss anything.
    NB: The M515 are being given away in 2nd hand shops. They are cheap & easy to find & work great. I have a collection. When one breaks I Synch to the next and never lose data. Unlike various "Smartphones" which have a tendency to break after just one bump or "fall", get stolen or just die!
    Long live PALM! Thank you for reliable products

    Thanks for this contribution, wobbly2010!
    The m515 was a great device in its time!  I used to tether it to my cell phone via cable, and then place it into the Palm IR keyboard turning it into a portable "tiny terminal" as I used to refer to it.  Mobile internet!  What a concept...
