I admit, it's been awhile since I synchronized. Just did so, and all appeared right with the world, the handheld made the appropriate noises and showed the appropriate actions and same on the computer (XP, connect as always have through USB). In other words, they appeared to "talk" and said they were synchronizing. But my data (like important calendar entries) is simply not there. Nothing. Nada.  Nothing recently added.
I tried repeating it several times. Yes, I have the system set up so that desktop overrides handheld.  So what's up? Used this a lot in the past, never had this happen.
Thanks for any help.
Using XP and the original hot sync that came with palm and that I've always used--no changes. Help????

I'm having the same problem though not with the exact same components. I have a Palm Z22 and Windows Vista--things were going great until a few days ago when I noticed that the palm weren't connecting. The Hotsync process proceeds normally, there are no problems noted in the hotsync log, and yet things do not travel from the computer to the palm and vice versa. I've tried pretty much everything: I know the palm is connected to the desktop, not Outlook; I have tried soft and hard resets; I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software multiple times; I know the username is correct.
I suspect the problem has something to do with Vista; when I restored my computer to a previous time it started working fine but this morning it stopped again. The computer may be automatically updating in a way that is preventing the Palm Desktop software (verson 4.2) from working. Version 6.2 seems to work but I really hate it--there's no color schemes or categories. If someone could help me out with this I would really, really appreciate it.

First, let me say I am using the same hotsync program that originally came with this same palm handheld and which has previously worked. So there shouldn't be any incompatability issues.
And the message I get when synchronizing is-----that it is synchonizing and, as usual, it runs through the whole rigamarole, showing it's doing calendar, memo, addins (whatever those are) etc etc.
At the end, it says, synchronization complete!!!!
Again, it makes the little noises to show they are communicating. Everything as it should be, only, the info doesn't transfer.
And yes, the data that I save primarily is on my desktold, in the Palm desktop program that came with the Palm handheld. I want to share, download to my handheld. So--any thoughts?
Thanks again,
Dee

Why would I be receiving texts on iPad,but now cannot send response from the iPad?

Wondering why I am receiving texts on iPad, but now cannot send response from it.

Have you tried resetting your iPad? Press on the Home and Power buttons and hold both down until the Silver Apple appears. Once the Home screen displays, try messaging again.

I've had my iPhone 4 for about 4 months now, and suddenly some apps aren't working. They open and appear to work, but as soon as you try to do something it doesn't load. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it. I also force shut down my phone. I synced it to iTunes. Nothing is working. Does anyone know what I can do?

Basic troubleshooting steps oultlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
You need to go through all steps in succession until your problem is solved. If going through ALL these steps fails to resolve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

Tungsten T syncs but doesn't transfer information from Desktop

I had a Tungsten E2 that died 180 days after purchase (warranty only 90 days) and rather than spend big bucks to repair (figuring that buying the extended warranty, claiming that nothing is wrong with unit, and then sending it in immediately would be a bit bogus!) I purchased a Tungsten T on eBay. Didn't come with software, but since I already had software loaded onto computer (Windows XP Home), I tried to sync -- games, etc. transfer, but not calendar or addresses.
Any ideas how to make sync process work properly, to get my crapola from Palm Desktop to the T?
Thanks so much!
Post relates to: Tungsten T

The E2 uses Palm's modern Extended PIMs (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Memos) while the T|T uses legacy PIMs (Date Book, Address Book, To Do List and Memo Pad) and the associated conduits.
Nothing will sync when you are using the wrong conduits for the device.
Because there are some other fundamental differences in the devices, I recommend you perform Palm's upgrade procedure (found by typing upgrade in the search box in kb.palm.com or on the support page for any current model such as the E2). You do not want system and preferences files from the E2 (which has non-volatile memory) installed on the legacy T|T. Once you do this check to make sure the Conduit names match what is on your device in Hotsync Manager.
Further, because the T|T has volatile memory and all data will be lost when the battery drains, I strongly suggest you invest in a third-party backup application (such as BackupMan) and an SD card, believe the T|T limit is 1 (one) GB.

I have a desktop machine windows 7 based with CS5 loaded and working without problem. I have recently purchased a laptop running 8.1 windows. I have loaded the cs5 package onto the laptop and it appears to work but when I try to update, although I am being told there are updates it attempts to download the update but then tells me there is a problem and to quit and try again later.. I have tried a number of times to download the updates but itkeeps telling me to quit and try later. what is wrong please?

There could be a 32 bit vs 64 bit issues-is the old machine a 32 bit? and what is the new machine as far as 32/64 bit. I am not sure now if CS5 has in the help menu of the PS app the selection to update within PS if so that might work. I know that the Creative cloud app for installs updates etc has caused me much consternation over the last couple few years. Last it could be something like your Software firewall settings or anti-virus anti malware programs. I know that updating the infamous adobe flash that Internet Explorer pop ups setting and having AV turned on as opposed to off can interfere or plain break the update ability

Why do fonts appear in Keynote, but not in Font Folder?

I made a misguided move in adding fonts through Font Book and am trying to restore my fonts to a previous iteration. Strangely though, the fonts appear in Keynote, but not in the usual Fonts folders. Can anyone shed light on why this might be the case? More information can be found, under the Mavericks discussion forum, here.

Suzanne,
As is my guess, there is now something wrong with those fonts. There are utilities, that can possibly repair them - two mentioned in the article. If you have a backup of the fonts, from when they worked, perhaps just going to that, and reinstalling them will solve the issue. I'd hate to think that they might have to be acquired all over again, but that might be "plan D."
Periodically, I will copy all of my fonts to DVD (now - used to be CD), just to have them available for new computers, or OS's. Over the decades, I have lost a few to corruption, that could not be repaired. In several cases, I had an older BU, that did work, but have had to buy a few again. Just checked on my workstation, and I've got 19,362, though seldom more than about 350 ever installed at one time.
This reminds me that it's about time to do another BU, as I will be getting a new workstation and laptop fairly soon, and will need to transfer my fonts to them.
Good luck, and hope that things can be saved - I hate to loose a favorite font.

Hot Sync does not bring in all the contact data from my Centro

I have a Sprint Palm Centro that has worked well and sync'd fine with previous version of Palm Desk Top. I recently downloaded and installed Palm DT by Access V 6.2.2. After several tries, I was finally able to get a fairly good sync by selecting Handheld Overwrites Desktop. BUT, it will not bring in the phone numbers or email address in the 6th and 7th field of contact numbers ( I have these all set to Mobile and Email). The numbers are on the phone but will not pull into my desktop. Any suggestions?

Are you sync'ing the new device to the same username in Palm Desktop as an older device?
If you are, this will cause problems on the new device. When you sync the device, it saves the device settings, 3rd party apps, preferences, etc. in the backup folder in the username folder on the PC. When you sync the new device it copies the contents of the backup folder for the old device to the new device. This will cause corruption in the settings for the new device thus causing erratic behavior of the new device.
If you did not have the issue with the previous version, you may want to revert back to the version you had on the PC before upgrading. I can supply the instructions for a "clean" uninstall of Palm desktop.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.

Why does sync fotos only work from computer to iPad , and not truly sync both ways??

One way synching !!

Because that's the way that Apple designed it to work. You can import photos from your iPad to your computer by using the cable that is provided with the iPad and by following the instructions here.
iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
You can use a third party WiFi app like this one. I use this one myself.

You can can also use Dropbox and other cloud syncing services.

ProBook 6560b - Bluetooth appears to work,but Laptop not discoverable?

Hi,
I am having an issue with my laptop and my HP printer. I have always printed via bluetooth never had any issues. But now it just doesn't work. I have used my phone to scan for devices and the Printer is there but not the Laptop.
In HP Connection Manager Bluetooth appears switched on and everything looks OK, it just cannot be discovered.
Any ideas? My technical knowledge is limited, so please excuse any stupid questions I may ask later in the thread!
Thanks!

I think I have fixed this, went into Device Manager - it would appear that the Bluetooth was Disabled. I certainly don't remember doing this, but everything appears to work now!
How could my Bluetooth become Disabled?

IPhoto appears to import but doesn't

Hi folks,
First, apologies if this has already been addressed. I've done a bit of searching and can't find the solution.
I have a new iMac and have transferred all of my pictures it. Ive been trying to use iPhoto to manage photos, but am extremely frustrated.
I recently discovered tht iPhoto lies to me. I put my memory card into the computer. iPhoto reads the card, identifies the pics, and appears to proceed to import everything. If I keep iPhoto open, I can see the events, work with photos, etc.
However, when I close iPhoto and reopen it, everything I just imported is gone! I didn't realize this until I'd already told iPhoto to delete the photos it had just imported.
But I can't seem to get iPhoto to keep photos it imports.
I've updated to iPhoto 9.2 (though every time I open iPhoto now, it says my library has to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto). I've tried to use the manager to rebuild the library, but that doesn't seem to work either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help!
Lee

You're database file is damaged.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Downloads such as adobe flash update won't download even when anti virus is disabled. The download box appears and runs but doesn't show anything.

Any updates or downloads won't download in Firefox. The download box appears, goes thru the motions but doesn't park anything in the file. I usually have to quite Mozilla, use Explorer for the download, such as Go to Meeting, or Adobe updates. Can't download anything with Firefox from your browser.

I am having the same issue -- IE7, XP SP3... Flash Player
will not download or install, but will download and install for
Netscape. Must be an IE7 issue, but I can't find a solution. If you
find something out, it would be freat!

Base Station appears to work but no internet? Please HELP!

Last night my internet and email was working fine. This morning I got no signal. I called the cable company and went through their diagnostics and determined that it is the Base Station I'm having problems with. When the modem is connected directly to my computer everything works fine, when I use the wireless I can't get on the internet or get email. The strange thing is that it says my airport is working and connected to the network. It also says that the basestation is connected to the internet but when I try to open a page I get nothing. Any suggestions?

I tried to setup my mother in laws brand new iBook, airport express and modem yesterday. I got it working when connected to the modem over ethernet and then set about adding the airport express. The first thing it did was upload verion 5.6 of the firmware and I then spend a number of hourse trying to get the thing working but it completely refused. The diagnostiocs said I was connected to the internet, but I could not connect to any servers. I called it a day and went back home.
Later last night I thought I would double check my own airport extreme settings to see if I could work out what I had done wrong. When I connected it asked if I wanted to upload the latest firmware so I said ok. I ended up with my setup in exactly the same situation. I then realised that it must be the 5.6 firmware that is causing the problem - but I couldn't even get on the apple website to find out what they were saying about it.
Anyway just got on now over dialup and there doesn't seem to be any mention of this problem other than this thread.
Has anyone else successfully uploaded 5.6 without getting this issue?
I'm currently downloaded 5.5.1 so I'll see if that fixes things.
I also noticed that I can't find a screen that lets you download 5.6 anywhere. Does anyone know if apple have withdrawn it?

XP install appears to work but no coffee cup or java

I have tried a number of times to install java through internet explorer, firefox, and the offline download file. The installation appears to work completing OK. However java apps still don't work and there is no coffee cup in control panel. Sites that require java tell me I need to download it.
If I try to reinstall I get a message saying java is already installed. Java is listed in add / remove programmes. I have uninstalled it and removed every reference of java on the PC and in the registry and I still haven't been able to get it working.
What else can I try?
Thanks

I seem to have the identical problem. Here's my post from another site.
I've used Java succesfully under Win 2000, but now that I've switched to XP I can't seem to install it properly. I've run the installation .exe and Java appears in Control Panel Add/Remove Programs, but not in the Start/All Programs area nor does it work in either of my browsers (Firefox and IE). The browsers don't see that it was installed either. Applets don't run, but I can see the JavaScript Console. I have a project management program that requires Java and it will not run either. Help!!!

Why is syncing ical not working with mobile me?

I have been having 2 macbook pros and a new imac sync ical, mail and address book. The imac is on Lion, the laptops are 10.6.8. They were syncing fine until a week or so ago. Is this because the 2 are not Lion? I am using mobileme, not yet switched to the cloud, mostly because not sure I want to use my 2 other uses of Lion on older laptops. And I will have ot upgrade some software on them. I need this calendar info to sync regularly!

Thank you for your interest in Adobe Flash Player. Unfortunately Apple does not allow Flash Player to be installed on iPhone or iPad.
May I add, this is the answer I get When I try to Download Adobe Flash Player
You get the message because that is exactly the situation. Apple has not allowed any Flash on iOS devices.
What site are you trying to see? Many sites now provide Flash alternatives. For example, if you want to listen to Pandora, instead of using the Flash on the Pandora website, instead you download the Pandora app for the iPad.
In the future, even if Apple wants to add Flash to the iPad, it won't be able to because Adobe will no longer be making it at all, for any mobile device:
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2011/11/adobe-kills-mobile-flash/
If you often go to sites that use a lot of Flash and they don't have an alternative, you should write to them and tell them to stop using Flash.
