Blue Tooth to Palm Desktop Sync failure

Hi;
I have 2 Tungsten t3s. I installed the Palm Desktop then the IOGear Bluetooth driver/software. All ran and synced fine.
I use XP Pro Service pack 2 - duo core Intel 2.66ghz with 2gbs ram.
Been having problems with pc locking up other weirdness; ALL PRIOR to getting and installing Palm Desktop & Bluetooth.
Decided to format hard drive and reinstall XP Pro (Serv. Pack 2 -- don't use Serv Pack 3 -- too many problems). Reinstalled
all my usual software again. All clean installation. System running great - no problems at all.
Happily proceeded to install Palm Desktop, then installed Bluetooth. PC Bluetooth found PDA - PDA found PC. They paired just fine with security codes and all else but couldn't connect with Palm Desktop!! Uninstalled both completely; reinstalled (this Time) Bluetooth first, then Palm Desktop. Still no sync. Bluetooth finds PDA and PDA finds PC but can't connect to Palm Desktop. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times -- (cleaned registry & deleted Palm folders) both Palm software & bluetooth to no avail. Tried same setup on two other pcs -- still no connection to Palm Desktop. I repeat all worked fine before. I am somewhat of a PC tech; have setup, built and repaired 100's pcs; have never dealt with bluetooth before.

If the same problem is happening on different PCs then it's the device. If you have the data backed up then it's time to hard reset the device.

Windows Reloaded - Palm Desktop Sync

I recently needed to reload Windows XP to my machine. All the contents of my Palm Desktop data were moved to a back up folder. I now need re-install the Palm Desktop application software and resynch with my Centero.
I am not sure what the procedure is after reloading the palm desk top application
Can I just resynch with my certero without having to move the data from the back up files to the palm desktop application or can just synch and have my centero update the palm files ? The data on my centero does match what was in the backup folder.

Hello bigdogron and welcome to the Palm forums.
The process that I have found that works the best is:
1. Copy the entire Palm folder from the backup location into the c:\program files folder.
2. Reinstall the Palm Desktop application into the path: c:\program files\palm.
3. Reinstall any third-party software like Chapura Pocket Mirror or DataViz Documents To Go; re-establishing the desktop conduits with the new install.
4. Re-sync your Centro.
Just keep in mind that when you install all of this software, you need to have the administrator role applied to your Windows user account so that the Windows registry and c:\windows folder gets updated correctly. Once the software has been installed and you have performed at least one good HotSync, you can revoke the admin rights if required.

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

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.

Mac Blue Tooth Mini Mouse Right Click Failure

After installing 10.5.1, my Logitech MX 310 optical mouse froze the system, and I found there was an incompatibility without a patch as yet.
The reason I used the Logitech is that no matter what I do with the Mac Mini mouse (preferences reset, reinstall batteries) I can not get the right click contextual menu feature to work but one in 20 tries. I am not the only one.

Correction: its the Mighty Mouse. i have tried two new apple mice and the following is the case;I can set the left side as the secondary contextual click, and it works. However, the right side will not work except as the primary. This could not be only me.

Desktop manager wont find Phone thru blue tooth

I need help.
When I try to connect my phone using blue tooth to the desktop manager (4.6.0.1.2), it doesnt recognize it. In the options menu the blue tooth boxes are not accessable to check. I paired up my phone with my computer and that worked using the pass key where you type in the code in your phone then your computer. It then says connecting to local service then installing modem and the blue tooth icon illuminates next to the computer time briefly then goes out. I bypass the advanced modem settings screen and it wants me to add a dial up number, name and password. As I do not wish to use my phone as the internet connection I click finish. My 8700 now shows in the window along with my mouse and headset. When I try to connect my phone it attempts to connect by saying opening port then it trys to dial by using the *99 and non existant name and password. I then get the error message. With all this said, is there any way to just connec my phone without it trying to dial up first?
Note: it does connect thru the usb cable just fine.
Thanks

Hi,
You won't be able to transfer pictures and media through the desktop manager. It's main functions are backing up and syncing to Outlook yahoo, for contacts calendar etc. You can however sync through Bluetooth. (native drivers only)
here is the link:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/dynamickc.do?externalId=KB04132&sliceId=SAL_Public&command=show&forwa...
As far as media is concerned the quickest, most efficient, and easiest way is to plug the USB into the PC and BB
(IF you have a MEDIA CARD in the BB), it will come up as a flash drive under windows explorer.
Then you simply drag and drop your media to the card. In Bluetooth transfer, the BB takes only one file
at a time, which is why I suggest the USB able.
There is a media Sync program that is very stable, and is a stand alone system here is the link:

Have new computer with new Windows 7, Palm m105, and 4.1.4 palm desktop, trying to get it to synch correctly.

With new computer I have had to add a USB serial converter to the hot synch cradle. I spent most of the day trying to get the new serial converter to be recognized so that a synch could be performed. It now will synch when I put the palm in the cradle. After installing 4.1.4, In order to get everything to work, I took a recent historicalbackup version of my palmOne program file folder in the Program files, and replaced the entire folder with my historical version. When I opened the desktop software, all my data appears to be there, except that many of my previous entries in the Calendar are now three hours earlier than they used to be and some are moved to an adjacent day. My palm still has the correct information, but a custom synch to overwrite the desktop data with the handheld data produces no change, even though it went through a long synching process. I also have an older computer that has a complete backup copy of everything and the palm software in that one is working properly, so what should I do to correct the data in my Calendar on my new laptop?

It looks like you will need to "clean" uninstall Palm desktop and re-install.
Here are the clean uninstall instructions for XP, see if the palm folders are in the same location. We have not received any info. on windows 7 and how Palm desktop syncs with this version.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to C:\Program Files\Palm or
Palm One. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and copy.
Then go to your PC desktop, right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
For Palm desktop 6.2, look in the following location for the folders and files, my documents, PalmOS desktop. You will find the username folder in this location.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer. Like the above folder, delete the Palm folder. Once this is done, you will need to delete some registry keys
from your PC Operating System registry.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
to not start up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them everything
they need to delete. To retain your current Registry settings, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
On the PC, go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As
box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents or you can change to a location you will remember. In the file name box, type "Regbackup[todaysdate]" i.e. Regbackup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are
you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer
Then reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right corner of the hotsync screen and sync.

Palm desktop for T|X

I upgraded from T|X to Treo 755p. Everything worked as it should--palm desktop, syncing--everything. But I couldn't get my email. I called tech support to see if I could downgrade the VersaMail program from the Treo version to the T|X version, because I wanted to get my email from a sync rather than my Treo going to the internet. The tech suggested I insert my T|X disc to see if I could install the T|X VersaMail to the Treo. Then as he was transferring me to someone else, we got cut off. Next day's tech explained that downgrading the VersaMail could not be done.
Low & behold my Treo crashed almost as soon as I'd hung up. Long story short, I returned my Treo, uninstalled the Treo desktop and re-installed the T|X desktop. My T|X syncs perfectly, BUT my Palm desktop will not load! Two desktops try to open (ea 1 a different color), the computer flickers black & then I get an error message: "Palm Desktop Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I clicked the "Send error report" and the "Debug" buttons several times.
What to do?
Post relates to: Palm TX

You will need to do a "clean uninstall" of Palm Desktop. Here are the instuctions for XP;
1. Backup users folder located at one of these locations:
C:\Palm\(palm desktop username folder)
c:\program files\palmone\(palm desktop username folder)
c:\program files\palm\(palm desktop username folder)
2. Uninstall(remove) Palm desktop in control panel-add\remove programs.
3. On the start menu, in the run box, type regedit.
4. Before making any changes you need to backup the registry. Click on file-export and then save in a location you can remember, like My Documents.
5. Now go to the following Keys and delete the Palm folders. Be very careful at this point.
HKEY_Current_User\Software\(delete)Palm desktop autorun
HKEY_Current_User\Software\(delete)Palm
HKEY_Current_User\Software\(delete)Palmone
HKEY_Current_User\Software\U.S.Robotics(delete Palm entries only)
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\(delete)Palmsource
6. Close registry.
7. Go to C:\ and C:\Program files, see if the Palm folders are gone.
8. Restart the PC
9. Reinstall Palm Desktop.

Centro will not sync with Palm desktop - Calendar and/or Contacts

I have used a Palm device for many years. Acquired a new Centro. Upon installation of Palm Desktop (on Windows XP) that came with Centro, all contacts, calendar, to do, memos, etc transferred to the Centro during installation.
Subsequent changes to contacts and/or calendar on Centro are not syncing with Palm desktop when Hot Sync is performed. Hot Sync starts and appears to complete normally. To Do list and memos appear to sync just fine. Have tried changing conduits to have Centro overwrite desktop. Have uninstalled/reinstalled Desktop many times.

Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

I have a Centro/Verizon Wireless using Versamail with accounts established for personal POP and Exchange e-mail synchronization. The latter account is for work. Previously I owned a Treo 650p using Versamail.
When I first installed Palm OS Desktop and synched to my Centro device, it was on a Windows XP home computer, and no Versamail accounts were defined. First I downloaded and installed the Versamail version which allowed Exchange synchronization. I exported the Treo650p contacts list to a disk file, and imported it onto the Windows XP home computer into the Palm OS Desktop installed with the Centro-supplied CD. This synched the imported contacts list to the Centro fine. After I defined all the POP and Exchange accounts, synchronization with the office Exchange contacts list worked fine, and still does. Synchronization with the windows XP home computer for contacts seems to still be ok, too regardless of the MS Exchange Versamail account commingling with my personal POP accounts. Maybe the install sequence is overriding the previous posts' notation that MS Exchange mail definition will override synch with Palm OS Desktop?
The problem now is I have a different/second home computer that's Vista os. I installed the Palm OS Desktop and synch with the Treo. The contacts list is not synching to this second home computer, maybe because I didn't follow the exact same sequence as for the Windows XP pc? I can still synch my Centro with my Windows XP pc and that includes contacts.
Is there a way on this second pc to override the MS Exchange contacts override for synchronization without having to go through the exact same install sequence as occurred on the Windows XP machine?

Can't get Palm Desktop app to react after syncing with Yahoo mail calendar info

Attempted to move calendar from Yahoo mail page to Palm Desktop in my Macbook--
Yahoo page says "don't use Intellisync" --thre is a new program called Autosync--but it turns out it doesn't work for Macs --clearly, many instructions on Yahoo paged do not apply to Macs--
find this is a common problem on many sites--assumption that all are PC folks.
Imagine how things will go if Microsoft actually buys Yahoo!
Anyway--Created Calendar as a CV file and imported to Palm Desktop--
now cannot get program to run correctly--it appears all of the calendar info was imported to calendar day on which I imported it--so there is a huge amount of info being processed whenever I attempt to interact with the app.--the dreaded beachball appears and spins endlessly--
Have re-installed Palm app. (4.2.1) but problem seems to be imbedded, and re-occurs.
Is there any solution except to dump the entire app. from my hard drive, lose my archive et. al.
and re-synch from my Tungsten E2???

Memos go away after sync with palm desktop

I did the one time sync between my palm Pre Plus and palm desktop. After powering off the Pre, the imported memos no longer exist. In fact when you go to the memos there is no option to add a new memo. All you see is a cork board with stick pins in it. No option to do anything and no memos appear.
Post relates to: Pre Plus p100ueu (SFR)

I would advise you NEVER use the Memo file in the Palm Pre!
The reason is that after a time you might (like me) end up with 500 or more of these Memos, BUT:
You can NEVER extract them again!
There is NO function at all offered by Palm to extract your Memos from the Palm Pre: Once they are in the Pre you can never get them out again!!
I have just discovered this direct from the Palm chat line itself. The agent was embarrassed to tell me this..
Thus if you decide to move from a Palm Pre of any updated description to another manufacturer, you can wave goodbye to all your memos.

How can I sync my Address Book and ICal with Mac and PC with Palm Desktop?

I now have the IPhone and I love it!!! But I have some issues and need help please. I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. In the PC I use the Palm Desktop Version 4.1.4 and I have there all my contacts (more than 1,100), all my date book (since 1998) and all my memos (about 600). I want to see what would be the best way get rid of my Palm Handheld and have only the IPhone, but I have encountered some problems and many steps. Everyday I have to sync the Palm Handheld at work, then sync the Palm Handheld at home with my Mac (using The Missing Sync, but it takes a long time every time), then sync the IPhone. Can you please help me??? How can I sync my data from my PC (Palm Desktop) with the IPhone? Another, thing; I do not want to use Outlook at work because the information that I want to sync (Palm) is my personal data and I want to keep using the Palm software for that.

aflores48,
Unfortunately, the iPhone is not designed to sync with Palm software. As stated in the minimum system requirements, the iPhone can sync with Outlook (2003, 2007 or Express) on a PC, or with iCal and Entourage on a Mac. If you do not want to use Outlook on the PC, you can sign up for a free Yahoo account and sync with Yahoo Address Book. Yahoo Address Book can be used to sync from PC or Mac. More information on the minimum system requirements for the iPhone can be found here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305703
More information about syncing the iPhone with your computer (including Yahoo Address Book) can be found here:

Palm Desktop 6.2.2 on Win8.1 syncing but not displaying data

I'm so pleased to have found this forum. I didn't realise there was so much love for old Palm devices. I started with a Palm V and worked my way up to a Tungsten T & palm Desktop 4.1.4 on WInXP and everything has been so good that I've resisted moving away from Palm Desktop as it does everything I need. But I've just bought a new Win8.1 PC and am having some problems that I hope someone here can help with.
I've been through the help here about installing Palm Desktop 6.2.2 and the win8 driver and the installation was very smooth and I could hotsync via usb with no apparent problem, except that Palm Desktop is not displaying any of my palm data!
When I first ran hotsync (from the palm cradle button) it asked for a user name. My Tungsten T was already being used on my XP PC and was full of data. So I entered the Tungsten user name and hotsync continued. it took a couple of minutes or so (as would be expected) and when complete it said everything was ok. I checked the Hotsync logand it confirmed everything was synchronised correctly - but when I opened Palm Desktop there was no data being displayed.
I then checked the data files in ...documents\Palm OS Desktop\.... and the address and datebook files are present and full of my data. I even opened them using Notepad and could easily see loads of ascii text amongst all the 'junk' characters, so it looks as if the sync process has worked correctly but nothing from my Tungsten is being displayed in the Palm Desktop.
I then added an event in the datebook in Palm Desktop and another event on the same day in the Tungsten. I then did another hotsync. It was reported as successful but the Tungsten event did not appear in the Desktop although the Desktop even DID appear on the Tungsten. So the sync process seems to be only working one way!
I've never had this happen before and would really appreciate any help.
This question was solved.

OK, try using the "Palm Hotsync Setup" program found on this page.
Since you are using an older T|T, this may be the answer.
There is a guide available from this website for migrating PalmOS data to Android, if interested. I made that jump years ago when webOS was ended. You can find it on their Home page.
