Setting up Bluetooth HotSync - Palm Centro, Windows 7, 64 bit

A couple of days ago I posted on here trying to figure out how to HotSync my Palm Centro with my new computer that has Windows 7 (64 bit). I followed the instructions - had to go and buy a Bluetooth Adapter for the computer - and went through the instructions from the sticky that was pointed out to me in my original question. I'm to the point where I'm trying to set up the phone to do a Bluetooth HotSync but when it's searching for computers it doesn't find any...
HELP!!!!! What do I need to do now. It may take me a couple of days to get back if anyone answers this quickly because I have a very hectic weekend but any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your solution andygc!

Windows 7, 64 Bit, Bluetooth Hotsync, Desktop 6.2.2 by Access

Windows 7, 64 Bit, Bluetooth Hotsync, Desktop 6.2.2 by Access
I have had problems of hotsyncing my Palm T3 to my windows 7, 64 bit, laptop ever since I bought the laptop.
I've read many posts and followed various instructions to no avail.
But, I've discovered a way that works every time.
As I stated above I have a Palm T3 with built in bluetooth. My laptop is an HP DV7, operating with Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit.
I am using Palm Desktop Version 6.2.2 by Access on my laptop, of which cannot be hotsynced using a USB connection.
I installed an I/O Gear, brandname, bluetooth adapter on my laptop, I bought from Walmart. A very nice micro size adapter.
I established a BT to Laptop PC connection on my T3, and use it instead of the standard Cradle/Cable connection option that was already established on the T3 from the factory.
Make sure your bluetooth is turned on, on both the computer and your Palm device.
Make sure both your computer and Palm device are discoverable and connectable.
Make sure the Hotsync icon is displayed in the taskbar at the lower right corner of your desktop on you computer.
Now you should be setup to sync both devices by bluetooth connection, right? Wrong.
Here's the trick!
Connect your Palm device with your computer using your Palm charging cable connected between your Palm device and into a USB port on your computer. This will pair your device with your computer and bluetooth hotsync will begin immediately after you tap on the hotsync button on your Palm device.
It works for me.
Hope it works for you.
Best wishes

In PD 6.2.2 there is a PIM conduit switcher. Have you tried this?
Another option I can think to try is to export your data in a format compatible with Outlook, .csv or .tab and then import into Outlook.
Chapura makes a program called pocket copy. It is a one time transfer of your data from PD to Outlook.
They have a program called Pocket Mirror but is only compatible with 32 bit versions.
Here is a link to their site.

Bluetooth Peripheral Device driver failure in Windows Vista and Windows 7 (solved)

I had problems setting up Bluetooth HotSync. Following the directions for pairing the device resulted in a "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" missing driver in Device Manager. I finally figured out how to setup HotSync and am able to sync over Bluetooth to Windows 7 64-bit.
On the PC
Right-click on the Bluetooth icon and select Show Bluetooth Devices
Delete the Palm Phone
Right-click on the Bluetooth icon again and select Bluetooth settings
Turn Discovery on for the PC
On the Palm Device
Select Bluetooth
Turn Bluetooth On
Set Visibility to Hidden (if desired)
Select Setup Devices on the Bluetooth screen
Select HotSync Setup
Click Next
Select your PC
This is the important part: Click Next 3 times (don't do what the screens tell you -- just click Next, Next, Next)
Click Launch HotSync
Viola!
On the PC
Right-click on the Bluetooth icon again and select Bluetooth settings
Turn Discovery off for the PC (if desired)

I am having the same problem with a new RocketFish Bluetooth adapter. I did NOT have this problem when I was using a Kensington USB Bluetooth adapter. One big difference that I notice between the two adapters is that the Kensington adapter came with an updated version of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack software which contained its own DUN drivers. However, the new RocketFish Bluetooth 2.0 EDR USB adapter does not seem to work with the Toshibal BT Stack.
Maybe this helps. Maybe it doesn't. Either way, I don't care. It's how I roll. I'm a smart ass.
I will check back for any additions to this thread. I hope we can figure it out! I will also post more Prose of Indifference.

Bluetooth HotSync Zire 31 & Windows Vista 64-bit

I'm having trouble setting up HotSync between my Zire 31 and a PC running 64-bit Windows. I'm on theProduct Support web page for the Zire 31 and have followed the instructions after buying a Bluetooth adapter and installing the software. In the Bluetooth Radio Properties Options I have checked "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" in the Discovery box and, in the connections box, I have checked both "Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer" and "Alert me when a new Bluetooth device wants to connect." The Bluetooth adapter is on. I have downloaded and installed Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2 and have selected Bluetooth in the Connections screen of the HotSync manager.
When I go to the Prefs application on the Zire 31, the screen looks completely different from the instructions on the Product Support web page. I click on connections and Bluetooth is not included in the list of Available Connections. There is no opportunity to set up a Bluetooth HotSync or select my computer from a list of devices.
I've spent several hours on this problem, and, after reading on the Product Support web page for the Zire 31 that I needed Bluetooth to HotSync with 64-bit Vista, I ran out and bought the Bluetooth adapter. According to the Bluetooth Radio Properties window, the adapter and the Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator are working properly.
Please don't tell me that the Zire 31 doesn't have Bluetooth capability. I only got into Bluetooth after reading the Product Support web page for the Zire 31. I'd appreciate any help that you can give.
Thanks,
Carolyn

Hello cgg2000, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
Have you ever seen any reference to BlueTooth on your Zire31? That's because it does not exist on a Zire31...
Sorry. Your options are to use an IR (beaming) adapter, or depending on what version of "Windows" you have it might be able to run in "XP Mode". There are several threads concerning this option, but I've never done it myself since I don't own the most expensive versions of either Win7 or Vista64.

Hotsync with bluetooth or network from TX to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit (with XP option)

Hello!
I have read and tried to follow the posts on these support boards plus hints given by Palm about this predicament. I think I have set up the TX for both Bluetooth and local wireless network. However, even if the TX recognizes my computer, it will NOT hot sync using either method. With one method there are issues with the virtual serial ports. No matter which port I choose the message always says it cannot hot sync because the port is in use by another program. HELP!!
I can't begin to tell you how many hours I have spent trying to get the first hot sync to work. MOST FRUSTRATING. Please help me out. I understand the USB connection is out with a 64 bit Windows 7, But I do have the option of the WIndows XP mode with my Windows 7 Professional (one reason I bought this edition of Win 7).
I love my TX and want to be able to use it with the new computer. I look forward to your combined expertise. Thank you in advance.

Hi, Derek -
...the screen splits into 4 areas and open windows seperate and shrink.
Sounds like Spaces is being activated somehow. With the wired keyboard and mouse in use, select the Exposé & Spaces control pane in System Preferences, click the choice in that pane for Spaces. See what the settings are. There are some activation settings in that pane - by default, F8 activates it.
It could be that the bluetooth keyboard has some stuck keys and is activating Spaces; or that the activation command has somehow been reset to something that the bluetooth mouse, or bluetooth itself, is triggering.

Bluetooth hotsync w/ palmone T5 and macbook

I have tried everything I know. The bluetooth is working b/c I transfered a picture file, but when I try to do a bluetooth hotsync, the mac keeps asking for a "password". Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?

my jbl bluetooth stereo headphones no longer have stereo sound but now have only mono since upgrade/ download of snow leopard. they sounded really great for months prior to the upgrade to snow leopard. i have a new imac and paired and repaired the device and still only mono sound.
what gives? sort of a huge disappointment since i listen to a lot of music on youtube and internet radio. seems like a downgrade to me. if i knew this i would have never upgraded to snow leopard.

TIP for Bluetooth, Vista 64-bit, and PalmZire72

I'm indebted to all the folks who have added so much to the discussion and hopeful solutions to the VISTA 64-bit problem for those of us who desperately want to keep using our dependable PALM devices. (Too bad that Palm as a company is not so dependable!)
I got a Palm Zire 72 back in 2004 and it has become a vital part of doing business and living life since that time.
I've always synced to Outlook2003 for my Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, & Notes.
When I bought a new laptop with VISTA 64-bit, I had forgotten my previous determination to NOT go with 64-bit. However, the price was too good on a last display model HP and I grabbed it, 64-bit VISTA notwithstanding.
Then I did research here on this forum and I knew I needed a bluetooth adapter that had at least SOME success with VISTA 64, but I didn't read far enough to steer me to the Iogear adapters that seem favored here.
I bought an off brand AZIO from NewEgg after reading of others having some success with this adapter.
I hope my observations can help others, either with these or other brands that may have the same problems.
I already had my MSOffice installed on the HP, and had backed up my full Personal Folders from the old Compaq and then pointed the new installation to a copy of the PST file, which brought over everything including emails to the new PC.
This was probably not the best way to go because I got myself into a pickle because I used the new PC for downloading emails, but I could not sync to this PC with my Palm
I also downloaded the latest PalmDesktop, version 6.2 by Access and installed it to the PC, telling it that I wanted to sync to Outlook for my Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Memos, and some other things I'm unsure of now.
Anyway, once I got the AZIO adapter, I installed it to the PC and tried to address the various issues before trying to sync.
I made sure the name on my PalmZire72 matched the name PalmDesktop used for me.
I checked my Device Manager and it listed my Bluetooth Device (with about 5 line items showing as various Toshiba Bluetooth devices, since the AZIO uses the Toshiba Bluetooth stack for its drivers. There was also a bluetooth radio listed there.)
I tried to setup my devices with the Palm device, turning on Bluetooth, making it discoverable, but I got no Bluetooth option listed when I looked at the possible HotSync methods. I could only choose USB or Network or Serial, but no Bluetooth option.
I selected Serial and tried to use a Port that I could see in Device Manager on the PC under Ports. I tried using all the ports showing as connected to the Toshiba device but none of them allowed a HotSync to work.
I created a port using the Bluetooth Local COM program listed at the bottom of my programs within the Control Panel on the PC. I pointed the Palm Serial Sync to that port but still no luck.
The weird thing was that I KNEW my PC and PALM were talking because they each would discover the other and know the correct name I had given the other device. I knew the Bluetooth device was connecting somehow, but every time I ran the Setup Devices on the PALM bluetooth setup, it would end with the "port being used by other application" message.
I ALSO noted that even though Device Manager knew I had the bluetooth device installed, I NEVER found any such devices listed in the Bluetooth Devices program that I could pull up from either the tray icon or from Control Panel. It would always be empty and I couldn't get it to discover any device on my computer.
I tried various uninstall/reinstalls of both the PalmDesktop and the USB Bluetooth adapter, but nothing changed anything. Each time I could verify that the Palm and the PC would identify the other one by correct name I would assign, but I could never get a device listed in the critical Bluetooth Devices program and HotSync would fail.
FINALLY, after giving up and buying a new Iogear GBU421 WM adapter tonight when I found one at WalMart, I came home and began the battle again.
But I couldn't quite give up on this AZIO without ONE more try at it. I had read about installing Generic drivers in place of the ones given with a device, and I don't even think these were in the same setup as mine, but I wanted to give it a shot. These were on the "Vista 64 Hotsync solution found" thread that has so much info on it. I posted a new thread simply because I hope this specific piece to the puzzle may be found a bit quicker in its own thread.
I went to Device Manager, looked at the various drivers, wondered which one to change first, and decided to change the Bluetooth radio driver first. I don't know why. Lucky guess? :-)
It seems to me it may not have had a Toshiba designation as did the other various ones listed there.
Then I also changed the Toshiba RFCOMM listed, and pointed it to something different. It was guesswork at best, but I was searching for generic drivers.
After this, the other Toshiba Bluetooth devices mostly disappeared from the Device Manager list of Bluetooth devices. It now also divided them into TWO categories, Bluetooth and Bluetooth Radios.
Bluetooth only shows a Bluetooth RFCOMM.
Bluetooth Radios shows a Generic Bluetooth Radio and a Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator.
None of these shows a red X or other problem mark.
In my Systray, however, I show a normal blue/white icon for Bluetooth Devices and a blue/red icon for Bluetooth Manager.
The Devices window will show my Palm Zire listed with my assigned name.
The Bluetooth Manager window, identified as Bluetooth Settings, shows nothing. No connections are listed and if I click on New Connection, I'm told that "Bluetooth is not ready."
Nonetheless, I am Hotsyncing successfully!!!
The first try, (after going to generic drivers and thus actually being able to "Pair Devices" via the Bluetooth Devices window) seemed so slow that I may have given up prematurely.
I finally hit "Cancel" on the Palm device, which seemed to hang forever and not be able to get out of that loop, so I forced a shut down via the power off button.
Then I also had to to a Ctrl-Alt-Delete to force the HotSync to shut down on the PC as well.
I did a soft reset of the PalmZire and I restarted the PC after that. The next time I tried to HotSync, it didn't hang on Step 1 (of 12) even though it WAS VERY SLOW. I have a LOT of appointment info etc that I save and there was a lot to have sync for the first time on this PC.
I got a message that this device (the Palm) had synced before on another PC, and did I want to allow this to proceed since it might create lots of duplicates. I chose to let it go ahead. It did create a fair number of duplicate appointments, but mainly on in the repeating appointments type. I just went through these in Outlook and deleted one of each duplicate, deleting the whole series when I did. The next HotSync went very fast, and cleaned all these duplicates up on the Palm as well.
I have not restarted again yet, and I am not sure all is going to remain in place, but I know now that I can probably make it work out. The lack of anything listed in the Bluetooth Settings window on my PC does concern me, but I'm hopeful it won't be an issue. I don't expect to use Bluetooth for anything else, at least for now.
After all the hours I have fussed and read and griped, I am hopeful I have it worked out. I strongly suggest reading the thread mentioned above about HotSync solution found, but in addition to the other factors you have to address, remember to try changing drivers if your bluetooth doesn't work right away. (If it does, consider yourself HIGHLY BLESSED!)
Well, I gotta quit this short novella and go to bed, but I hope this helps someone else manage to set up bluetooth on a 64-bit VISTA system.
How in the world does anything as helpful as a PALM go out of business? It must have taken a lot of concerted effort by management to destroy the future of such a helpful piece of hardware!
Hang in there, Zire; I need you to keep working till a suitable alternative comes along. I doubt it'll be a Crackberry!

Post relates to: Zire 72

Further notes: When I allowed my PC to come back up from a Hibernate state, there was an error message waiting for me that said something like Port 5 is busy; Will wait till port is open" or something like that.
However, the Port I had been using (that I created for HotSyncing) was Port 8, which had worked. I don't know why this happens, but it seems to repeat itself if I do not do a clean boot.
As long as I restart the PC or boot from a shut-down state, my adapter seems fine and Port 8 is available and does work for the HotSync.
It was VERY slow on the first HotSync that had to run MANY procedures and lots of calendar stuff, but now the HotSyncs are SO FAST. Much faster than they were with the USB and Windows XP.
I have now turned my Firewall ON and it does NOT affect the HotSync. (I DID go into the Firewall setup and added Bluetooth Settings, HotSync Manager, and Palm Desktop to the exceptions list to ALLOW these through the Firewall.)
My antivirus program also does not seem to cause any problems for the HotSync, even though it does have to interject itself each time the Outlook data gets accessed. It just verifies that there is no virus activity going on, so it makes a momentary pause as Outlook info is updated.
I also have found that the HotSync runs fine whether Outlook is already open or not.
So far, I'm quite happy things are smoothing out!! Let's hope it continues.

Just bought new Palm and not sure how to set it up best to sync

I just bought a new Palm TX. The manual says to connect the sync cable to palm and to computer usb port and connect a/c adapter to palm and an outlet and charge for 3 hrs which I'm getting ready to do. Before I start setting up my whole system I to am trying to determine a couple of things first.
Based on all forums I've read today, I want to use the missing sync with ical and address book rather than palm desktop. I also plan to sync using bluetooth rather than usb. (My goal plan is to use this set up to digitally implement kgtd - so the categories issue is key for me).
Thus I wonder, is there any reason to insert the palm desktop software cd and/or install isync palm conduit. It seems missing sync 5.x replaces isync palm conduit and installation of the missing sync will remove the isync palm conduit anyway.
Is there anything I will possibly miss with palm functionalities if I don't use that CD first and then switch to missing sync? Are there any pros or cons to loading isync palm conduit and Palm hotsync software and then switching almost immediately to missing synch with ical and address book. I guess what I'm wondering is, are there anything from the CD that I need or downloads or updates that I initially need to get that I can't get without new palm software installed initially rather than only having the missing sync installed.
On the other hand, are there benefits in immediately installing missing sync and not bothering with mucking things up with the new isync palm conduit and palm hotsync being on my system.
I seem to have isync 2.3 automatically from 10.4.8. I am afraid to, at least initially, upgrade to 10.4.9 given the many problems that seem to be reported from the upgrade regarding syncing and I have very little in ical or address book as of yet and an old palm desktop 4.2.1 that I haaven't used in over a year. I am not interested at this point in transfering anything from the old palm desktop (not so much there either and none of it current) although would be interested in (unless told it could cause other problems for me or be in any way suboptimal) keeping it as a sort of archive.
Also, why do I need to connect the USB port while doing the initial charge if the plan is to use bluetooth? Any pros or cons in doing/ not doing this - both using bluetooth and connecting the USB cable during the initial charge?
Any guidance on some or all of these things would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Great questions, and we'll attack them one at a time.
Q: '…is there any reason to insert the Palm Desktop software CD and install the iSync Palm Conduit?'
A: Actually, yes - there is. Mark/Space very strongly recommends that you perform one last synchronization event with the Address Book and iCal using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit prior to installing and configuring the Missing Sync. It is therefore necessary that you synchronize using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit at least once prior to your initial use of the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit require that the HotSync Manager and Transport Monitor—components of the Palm Desktop—be installed in order for iSync to launch, supervise and terminate a synchronization session with a Palm device.
Q: '… are there benefits in immediately installing the Missing Sync and not bothering with… …the new iSync Palm Conduit and Palm HotSync…'
A: No. It is critical that you overwrite the contents of your Palm device with data from the Address Book and iCal during the first synchronization event with the Missing Sync for Palm OS. Absolutely critical. Users who skip this required step always end up with synchronization problems later. In order to do that, you have to have first equalized the contents of the Address Book and iCal with the contents of your Palm device. Otherwise, you'll be overwriting the device with empty record sets. The easiest way to equalize them is to synchronize at least once using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit. Because the iSync Palm Conduit does not support categories, all field labels and extended attributes supported by both the Missing Sync for Palm OS and your device, you'll have some record cleanup tasks to perform as a result. But, don't skip that initial device overwrite requirement, or you'll put your data at serious risk and only spend much more time later on cleaning up the resulting mess.
Q: 'I am afraid to, at least initially, upgrade to 10.4.9…'
A: Don't be, though it makes little difference if you apply update before initiating the iSync synchronization, or afterward. You indicated that you have an old copy of Palm Desktop installed which you haven't used for more than a year. If that copy is not as recent as the once bundled on your CD-ROM, then install the CD-ROM copy. If they are the same version, or are different versions but neither are Palm Desktop 4.2.1 revision D, then download and install that package before configuring and using iSync. The package is available here:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421revd.html
If you aren't sure, then install this downloadable package, as it can only improve and not damage your currently installed Palm Desktop configuration.
Q: '…why do I need to connect the USB port while doing the initial charge if the plan is to use Bluetooth?'
You don't, although your device can obviously only charge with a USB-powered cable or cradle, or an AC adapter-powered cradle. I recommend that you initially configure it to synchronize via USB with both iSync and then with the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and then pair it using Bluetooth and synchronize using that pathway if you wish. Remember two things: while Bluetooth may be more convenient, USB moves substantially greater data in a shorter period of time—important during slow, initial synchronization events—and, the Missing Sync for Palm OS also supports network synchronization with your T|X, using it's WiFi capability. Initially using USB, later reconfiguring for Bluetooth and then for WiFi gives you literally one-button choices when using the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
In summary, you ought to…
• update the Palm Desktop suite to 4.2.1 revision D using the downloadable package
• add your device to iSync via USB using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option under the iSync Devices menu
• be sure to change the label of any contact address you want synchronized to <home>, as iSync ignores addresses not labeled that way
• merge the data in the Address Book and iCal with your Palm Device
• back up the Address Book data using the Back up Address Book… option in that application
• back up your iCal data using the Back up Database… option in that application
• install and configure the Missing Sync for Palm OS
• set your three Mark/Space conduits initially to overwrite your handheld with data from your computer
• synchronize initially via USB and include the TimeCopy conduit in this effort
• follow the Bluetooth wizard instructions in the Missing Sync to pair your device and add the Bluetooth option
• follow the network wizard instructions enable WiFi synchronization
• create sets of conduits appropriate for your workflow, and associate them with an interface: USB, Bluetooth or network
• correct your handheld data to reflect address data field label changes, calendar and contact categories, and so on
• synchronize again via any chose interface to propagate the corrected data

Problem syncing via wifi palm tx with windows xp pro

I have had my palm tx for a couple of years and had no trouble syncing to my xp pro machine until today. I just got a new wifi dsl-router/modem from embarq (it is a ZyXEL P-660H-D1). I had no problems with my former wifi dsl-router/modem (D-Link DSL-G604T). They are both 802.11b/g. I have enabled b and g on the new router.
The Palm TX does connect to the new router using wpa and I can surf to see web pages. However, it does not "see" my desktop on the network. I've made no changes to my desktop network configurations. (The desktop is visible on the network when I use my lapto). I have checked all the settings in my palm tx and my hotsync manager on the pc. I have tried connecting by putting the desktop's IP address in the Palm, but nothing works. Can anyone think of any setting in the router I might change to resolve this?
FYI I can sync using the cable, but I really prefer using wifi for syncing.
Thanks for any help you can give. (I'm new to this community, sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I searched and couldn't find an answer.)

Hello darthemma, welcome to the Palm Support Community!
It sounds like you have the settings correct. I can only suggest you make "Static IP's" for both the computer and TX in your router. That will assign the same IP address to each device permanently.
Here's my standard "Wifi Hotsync" help file. Hope it helps!
Wifi HotSync with a TX
1. On your PC, locate the HotSync Manager (little HotSync icon in the lower right tool tray on a Winbox). Click on it and check off "Network", then click again and select Setup.
2. Pick the Network tab up top in the window that opens, and find your HotSync name in the list. Make sure it's checked.
3. Tap the TCP/IP button, and look at the IP address listed for "Primary PC Address". Write it down.
4. Turn on Wifi on your Palm and connect to your router.
5. On your Palm, select the HotSync program and tap the word "Network" above the HotSync icon in the middle of the screen. Below it, enter the IP address you wrote down in step 3. (Include the periods!).
6. Tap the big HotSync icon above the IP address, and hold on!
7. If you're holding on, and nothing happens try a wired HotSync, then try the Wifi HotSync again. Sometimes, information has to transfer from your PC after you check off the Network option. Also, be sure to watch for any Firewall activity asking you about "HotSync.exe is trying to access your hard drive" etc. You may need to set a rule to allow it.

Installing Palm Desktop on Windows 7

I originally tried to install from the CD that came with my Palm but when it couldn't find the device drivers for my Palm Centro, which I've had for more than a year, I uninstalled Palm Desktop, downloaded the latest version from the website and tried to reinstall again. In both cases, the device drivers can't be found and I'm not sure what to do so that's why I'm contacting you today. Please help - I would hate to have to get rid of my Palm and go to an iPhone just because you guys don't have everything compatible with Windows 7.

New Laptop w Vista - Need help transfering Palm and other software to Vista

I got a new laptop that runs Vista. My Palm TX has been the Palm and all other software fine on my Windows XP desktop computer.
How do I move all my Palm info over to the laptop without starting a lot of problems.
Will I still be able to sync my Palm on both my desktop Windows XP and my Vista laptop?????
Can someone please give me a step by step guide for this procedure:
Thanks for the help and advoe

To sync on your new 32-bit desktop you will need to download the Vista-compatible Palm Desktop 6.2.
You will also need to install Documents To Go v.10 on the new desktop as well...should be fine with Vista. From what I've seen of Beyond Contacts, you will need to upgrade to 3.0083 to gain Vista support. I don't know if that's a paid upgrade or not.
If any of your other third-party apps also have a desktop component or install a conduit for synchronization, you'll need to check with each of them to verify compatibility with Vista and Palm Desktop 6.2.
When you connect to the new computer for the first time after you install Palm Desktop software, just select the TX's current Hotsync ID to sync with, and the data on the TX should automatically migrate into your new installation. But it's always best to be safe rather than sorry. Get a copy of NVBackup (google and download from any legit source such as www.palmgear.com ), and run a complete backup onto a SD card. That way, you'll be minutes away from a full Restore if anything does happen in the transition.
Lastly, if you plan to sync with your two computers, you will need to be careful and only use one of them for full 2-way synchronization, and use the other purely as a clone to hold a copy of the data on the handheld, using Handheld Overwrites Desktop conduit settings on that second computer. Otherwise data corruption is sure to result. This Palm Knowledgebase Article discusses how to Hotsync one device on two different desktops:

Cannot Run, Uninstall or Reinstall Palm Desktop for Palm M500 on Windows XP

I have a Palm M500 and Windows XP Home Edition with service pack 3 installed. Palm deskop was working smoothly, but now every time I try to run Palm Desktop I get the following error message: "Windows Installer: the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Palm Desktop.msi' in the box below." The box below says "C:\DOCUME~1\user\LOCALS~1\is33\1".I tried to uninstall Palm and I get the same message and Palm does not uninstall. I downloaded from Palm Support downloads the PalmDesktopWin414EN update and tried to install it and I get the same error message so I cannot install it. Please Help !!!

Hello DiegoK and welcome to the forums......
I would try going into safe mode and following the instructions below.
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.
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 keysfrom 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 and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
did not sync before you create a hotsync name.

How to hotsync a Palm TX in Virtual PC 7 (& use Medicopeia, for example)

I was able to sync the Palm TX of my wife in Virtual PC 7 & Windows XP. To do so, I enabled Virtual Switch in PC Settings so Windows would have its own IP address.
Then, I asked the Palm TX to connect through WIFI (through our home network) by giving the IP address of Windows XP (you can find it in Hotsync -> Network -> TCP/IP Settings). The connection worked the second time, @ full speed. It took almost 5 minutes to install Medicopeia on the Palm TX.
I did this manoeuvre because I could not hotsync the Palm with the usb cable... Hotsync (in Windows XP) would just not see the Palm TX, even though XP would see it. Hotsyncs seems to be looking for a COM port, and not a USB port. I could not understand why... Anyway.) All of this was done with Hotsync disabled in Mac OS X.4.

Hi all,
I want to boot up with a USB key to install a new VM on Windows 7. I heared that Microsoft Virtual PC begins to support USB device on Windows 7. How can i configure it? I don't find any virtual USB device in VM settings on my Windows 7 box.
Thanks for any help.

Virtual PC does not support USB. Windows 7 XP Mode Virtual Machine supports the use of USB devices. Virtual PC and Windows 7 XP Mode VM are not the same thing!
