ActiveSync won't detect my Treo 750

Help!!
I started with Windows Mobile 5 before with Activesync 4.2 and it worked just fine.
a year ago, I updated my palm with WM 6 and Activesync 4.5 and it worked just fine.
Recently, I have got new laptop from my company and try to re-install activesync.
During the process, I accidentally deleted the connection in my palm and everything is gone!!!
I tried to install activesync 4.5 in my new laptop and try to connect them, however, activesync won't detect my device. It did not even charge my mobile.
Curious enough, I tried to connect it with my other laptop at home (using Activesync 4.5) and it did not detect the device as well. Running out of idea, I removed Activesync in my home laptop and install Activesync 4.2. Try to connect and it worked!!! However, an error message came out saying that I need to have ActiveSync 4.5 to synchronize with WM 6.
I uninstall the ActiveSync 4.2 and install 4.5 in the laptop and try to synchronize again. But this time, same situation happens again where Activesync did not recognize my device!!!
What to do, I am running out of idea. Help me please...

I went through all the recommended steps I found online and spent 2 hours with palm support and 1 hour with Dell support and still was unable to connect my att palm treo 750 using activesync when I had successfully done so in the past. I am using a treo 750 with winmobile 5 ver and activesync 4.2 connecting to win XP pro. I would see the phone in my device manager but it would not connect. This is what I discovered that fixed my problem and not just on my Dell computer but another computer I have as well. I would go into the phone to Start/Settings/Connections Tab and found USB to PC and check the box to allow advanced connections. I would then remove the battery. unplug the USB cable and reinstall the battery. After phone boot up, plug usb in and attempt connection again and it would fail. Again open on the phone the Start/Settings/Connections Tab and found USB to PC and uncheck the box to allow advanced connections. If connection fails (it probably will) pull battery from phone and unplug USB. reinstall battery to reboot phone then plug the USB cable back in. My device would again connect.. This needs to be done every once in a while because of the buggy phone and/or activesync software. I hope this helps anyone and prevents them from wasting as much time as I have on keeping an otherwise good phone in sync with an xp computer. Peace and long live a free internet and quality software....

Please kindly advise...

Try a 10 second soft reset by taking out the battery for at least 10 seconds. This allows the device to power off completely, like a shutdown on a PC.
If that doesn't work, try a hard reset. The hard reset will erase all data on the Treo. Make sure you sync to backup your data before the hard reset.

Problem with Activesync on treo 750/outlook

I've always had problems trying to sync via usb since I purchased my 750 12 months ago, although this time I'm unable to sync at all after 4 days of trying. the xp pro sp3 side seems ok (it tries to sync but cant) any ideas please Taffy
Post relates to: Treo 750 (Cingular)

Have you tried another USB port?
Another thing to try would be to uninstall ActiveSync, delete the Microsoft ActiveSync folder under program files then reinstall activesync and try to sync again. (Trying both with and without Advance networking checked.)

Sprite backup downloaded from Palm site won't run on my Treo 750 with Windows XP on laptop

I have a Treo 750 with WMD 5.0 and Windows XP on my laptop. I have a 2G mini storage card. I downloaded the free Sprite software from Palm support and installed it on laptop and the storage card. When I run the set-up wizard on the PC, I get an error on the mobile device stating the program does not run with my device. I have carefully checked to make sure I downloaded the program for the Treo 750 and have verified the installation - it just doesn't work.
Do I have to get the new software ($29.95) from Sprite? Any ideas why I can't use the free software from Palm site?
Has anyone had better success with the new version?

A. PROBLEM: Each time I try to use this reputable program (version 5.2 (7534.52.7), I encountered the following problem:
Program (1) loads instantly, (2) presents the browser space, (3) agrees to open new tabs, (4) but when I try to direct it to ANY URL at all, the hour-glass appears, but the wait is fruitness. I cannot reach any site at all.
I've tried to access the program, both as "administrator" and regular "user." No joy.
All I ever get showing is the interesting interface (and an hour-glass on an URL-call) and nothing else.
Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

Treo 750 syncing w/ Windows Vista 32bit

I have a Treo 750 that I had synced with windows xp. Ever since I "upgraded" to windows vista I have not been able to sync. The computer won't even recognize the phone as connected. Here is what I have and what I have tried already. I have, as mentioned, the Treo 750 running windows mobile 5.0/ the laptop was running xp which I had no problems setting up and syncing. I now have window vista 32bit I guess since when I tried downloading WMDC 64bit it wouldn't support the download, so I have WMDC 32bit. When I downloaded WMDC the treo was connected through a usb cable. I have uninstalled and re-installed WMDC several times. Sometimes the device manager will not recognize the usb cable and sometimes it does. When it does recognize the cable it shows a bluetooth symbol and says everything is working properly but when I open up WMDC I am not connected, if I push the sync button nothing happens, if I unplug the usb cable and replug the device manager then will no longer recognize the usb cable. I have also tried everything on the support boards, help forums, you name it I have tried it except a hard reset which I don't want to do until I sync all my info first. Oh yeah the whole reason I am so desperate to sync my phone after such a long time is because my phone constantly freezes up as if I have to much going on which I don't. I have cleaned out every program not necessary so I have tons of memory, so that is not slowing down or freezing my phone. I basically have to soft reset my phone after I do or run 3-4 different applications including phone calls. ANYONE PLEASE HELP EITHER OF THESE TWO PROBLEMS BEFORE MY GIRLFRIEND DUMPS ME FOR SPENDING SO MUCH TIME ON THE COMPUTER TRYING TO FIGURE THIS STUPID THING OUT. THANKS DAVE

Yeah I have tried that already no luck. Here are some other things that I forgot to mention. I have another laptop that is running windows xp, this laptop has never been synced to anything. I downloaded Microsoft Activesync but it will not connect to that either. The difference with this computer is that when I plug it into the USB port it makes a sound and when I push the usb sync button it makes a beep followed by another beep. Lastly I have another Treo (my girlfriends) that when I first tried to sync to WMDC it did not connect but after running troubleshoots I got it to work on both computers. It is so frustrating.

Is it really possible to upgrade from a Treo 650 to a Treo 750?

I am not a very happy customer at the moment, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I upgraded from my old Palm Tungsten to a Zire, then to a Cingular Treo 650, combining three devices into one. I have since discovered that the Treo 650 seems to have a faulty transmission mode, as I can rarely be clearly understood by whomever I call. Am on the second (or third, I have lost track) and continue to have the same problem. I get five bars of reception but can't be understood on the other end. A bit of a problem when one is trying to call 911. Am constantly told I am "breaking up". The repair shop says it "Can't duplicate the problem". OK, then I do not want to give up all the info I have stored in the fool thing, and the 750 seems to have a different system, so I thought I would try that. All the stuff I could find seemed to indicate it wouldn't be a problem to upgrade. When the 750 arrived, I tried to install the software from the CD on my Windows XP computer. No dice. Setup encounters an error and closes. Can't even look at the files, because setup tries to run any time I access the CD. From any drive. Gave it to my girlfiend to check on her computer, and the CD seemed to run fine. Other CDs work just fine on my computer. Must be some kind of conflict, but what? Tried calling the AT&T number that suggested they could help with setup, and was first connected to the business center, they routed me to the laptop center, who routed me to the network center, who said they would have to bring in the Palm customer service and connected me to a Mac guy that dumped me back to a menu that took me to someone for whom English is a second language with whom I was trying to communicate over a very poor satellite connection. They made no sense anyway. telling me first that I couldn't have two desktops running (wrong, my girlfriend has my old Zire and the CD worked fine) and then insisting that the serial number on my device had to start with a P, when it clearly does not have any alpha characters in it. Gave up on that route of assistance. Managed to get the new ActiveSync installed from my girlfriends computer over the network. Great. Now let's get my 650 synced with Outlook (which I have not used at home) and see if we can move on. Nope. First I have to update Outlook 2000 from the old Win98 to my current XP. Find the old CD, and square that away. OK, now sync to Outlook. Nope. The sync program gives an error, saying it will only sync with Outlook 98, 2000, and XP(2002). Good grief. I have Outlook 2000, and the software apparently does not recognize it. If the Palm doesn't work, there is no reason for me to keep this phone, and I am very close to returning it and abandoning the Palm entirely when I upgrade to something that works, although I dread re-entering all that information.

Thanks for the feedback. Today I installed an Enterprise version of Office 2007 I purchased a while back, but had not yet installed. Microsoft presented a few challenges, but they were quickly resolved. I then downloaded the appropriate conduit from Palm, and synced the 650 with the handheld overwriting the computer. Then used Active Destop to sync the 750. Satisfied I had moved as much info as possible, I called AT&T and had them move the phone number to the new Treo.
Bonus! When the guy at AT&T called me on the new phone to verify it, he said it sounded better than my landline.
Sorry for the streaming paragraph. When it is late I tend to write like I think.

Problem with syncing Treo 750

I just got an AT&T Treo 750 and am trying to set it up for syncing with my disktop computer running Windows XP Pro, SP3.
First, I am not an Outlook user, but figured out that I had to install that software to use ActiveSync. Second, I am not planning on using my 750 for email, and am only interested in syncing my Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks. It appeared that I did have to set up the 750 for email to get thngs started with ActiveSync, so I did that, too. Now when I attempt to sync I get this MS message:
Cannot syncronize with the Outlook profile you are using, because a different profile was previously set up or the profile is password-protected. Please open Outlook using the appropriate profile. Support Code: 8503001f
What do I need to do to get the 750 and my computer to sync?
Second question: Is there any other syncing software I can use other than Outlook?
Thanks - John

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. If the data is gone from your 750 and was never in outlook there is nothing I can do . But if you have your old device and are using Palm Desktop 4.1.4e we can get the data back to outlook so you can sync your data back to the 750.
Post back if you do not have Palm Desktop 4.1.4e
If you do great. All you need to do is go to Start-->Programs/All Programs-->Palm/Palmone-->PIM Conduit Sync--> Sync with Outlook. If it says you are already to sync with Outlook then good if not let it do its thing. After this what you need to do next is right click on the Hotsync Manager go to custom then click on Calendar and select change then select handheld overwrites desktop. Do the same for contacts, tasks, and memos.
Post back if you have more questions.

Cannot select HTML message format in Active Sync - Treo 750

Hi -
When I configure active sync in Treo 750 device, I can select the message format as HTML but after the first sync the message format reverts to Plain Text, and it's now grayed out!
I would appreciate if anyone have a solution for this.

Very Delayed Update:
Whenever I upgraded my Treo 750 to WM6, I found in PROGRAMS "Proxy Manager" which is nothing but a box to select to "Force AT&T Proxy".
Whenever I have established an ActiveSync connection via Bluetooth with my internet connected laptop, I simply Un-Select the "Force AT&T Proxy" and any program (IE, Google Maps, email Send & Recieve, etc.) use the ActiveSynce Passthough.

Palm treo 750 will not pair with Motorola H500

I followed all directions and the Palm recognized it but refused the passkey (0000) which was in the instructions. Now it won't recognize the device at all. Help!
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

I have no other Bluetooth devices at all and nothing will pair with it and I followed the directions to the letter as have several other knowledgeable people, one being the AT&T tech in the store. You say the connection is locked to the last device paired. Is it possible that it's locked on the device even though the passkey didn't work? Can it be in some kind of limbo - recognized but not paired and the connection is locked? I don't know all the technology about that - but something happened when I tried to pair it the first time - it recognized it just fine and then rejected the passkey and it won't pair with anything, even a Palm earpiece. Of course, if that were the case, any of the 3 master resets I have performed should have cleared that huh? There are no devices listed and both devices are fully charged. The ebayer who sold me the phone is willing to let me return it so if you have any other ideas, please let me know. Thanks.

How can I transfer my photos and videos from Palm Treo 750 to iMac OS X 10.9.5?

My old Palm Treo 750 which does not have any service has very special photos and videos I would like to put on my iMac OS X 10.9.5. I plugged the phone into the USB adapter and the phone is not recognized. Can anyone give me direction?

Your phone is in recovery mode. You won't be able to get anything off of it until you get it out of recovery mode. Try this:

If that doesn't work, you have no choice but to restore the phone. But, you'll lose all data on the phone going that route.

Treo 750 Camera

I just recently got a Treo 750 with built in camera function. I have taken a few photos with it no problem...
I then installed Ringo, and sometime around then the camera function vanished. I can't click on the program in Start>Programs and bring up the camera function, instead it goes to Pictures and Videos. I tried getting to camera thru that, it doesn't even show up...I know it has it, but it just won't show up.
I tried a soft reset, didn't work so i tried a Hard reset it still doesn't work. Matter fact the icon in Start>Programs is even missing. Tried changing the side button from default media player to it, the option for camera isn't even there. It's almost like it doesn't even have the built in camera. Yet you can physically see it, plus I've used it and even had pictures saved on it (until hard reset) for it.
Is there any way to just reinstall the whole WM5? or should I just wait for WM6? Is the camera function in the phone OS or the PocketPS OS?
Any help would be appreciated.

I managed to chat with a tech. support rep on the Palm website. and they wrote up a service ticket for my handheld, they were suppose to contact me to arrange shipping but didn't. Awhile later, The Backlight stopped working so it requires a flashlight to see the screen. It's clear to me that the PalmTreo750 is a white elephant/Edsel = F**k Up I have given up on that piece of S**t.

Can't find the answer on a Treo 750

If this question has been answered in the past I am sorry, I cannot find a clear answer despite days of searching on this and other sites. (Great site BTW)
Just purchased a Palm Treo 750 (Rogers). I am very pleased with it.
I wish to add a memory card and have been reading conflicting reports or no answer whatsoever to direct questions regarding card sizes.
This site offers a few choices:

I like the 8GB Kingston for $5 more than the 4GB so to me this is a no brainer.
Here is my simple question:
Will my new 750 Treo handle the 8GB card?
Thank you,

Treo 750 will only intermittently pair with Bluetooth PAN

I'm try to use my Treo 750 as an internet connection for my Macbook running Leopard 10.5.1. When I initially paired the two devices, the connection to the internet was instant. After I clicked "Disconnect from Network" under Mac's bluetooth settings, it wouldn't let me connected again. The "Connect to Network" link was greyed out. I deleted and repaired the devices, and it still wouldn't work. I restarted the computer and it allowed me to connect with no problem. After disconnecting that second time, it won't let me connect again - no matter what I try. Deleting and re-pairing, check and double check the settings - nothing is working! I'm ready to pull may hair out.
I've never had this problem with Tiger. Is this intermittent pairing problem a common issue with Leopard? If so- is there any fix. Are there any utilities that force bluetooth connections to pair, and thus allowing me to "Connect to Network," to connect to my phone's Bluetooth PAN internet connection?

I'm having the exact same issue with 10.5.2. I just got my work issued replacement for a Treo 700p, a Treo 750 with Windows Mobile 6. It is silly to compare WM6 with the iPhone (I have one of those too) but the iPhone lacks an essential feature for sysadmins, laptop tethering. The first time I paired the phone with my MacBook Pro, BAM, I was on. Holy wow, batman, that was slick!
Like yours, my second and subsequent connection attempts were not so joyous. I just got back on by deleting the pairing on both devices, rebooting both devices, and then pairing them again.
The idea of Bluetooth PAN is great, but I'm a bit under-impressed by the WM6 implementation. Why can WM6 not figure out that if I try connecting to the Bluetooth PAN network, that perhaps it would be a good time to automatically initiate the Internet Sharing feature? Instead, we have to turn the WM6 device on, launch the Internet Sharing app, click "connect", and then join that network from the laptop. At least it is smart enough to disable 'Internet Sharing' when I choose 'disconnect' from my laptop.
DUN is much more transparent once set up. Click 'Connect' in the modem menu and it just works.

How to unlock my treo 750

Hi,
I bought a treo 750 from ebay an intended to use it with t-mobile. I calle AT&T and they gave me the unlock code but I didn't know that I had to press the power option button down before entering the unlock code. So after 5 trials the phone won't accept any code again and is now permanently locked to AT&T it seems. ANy ideas please. Will greatly appreciate.
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

Hi ngumba,
This is actually part of the security of the lock. After 5 incorrect attempts, the device will remain locked for a timeout period (I forgot how long it is but I believe it's a few hours). Just to be safe, wait 24 hours and try again.
