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.

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!

Hotsyncing a palm centro using a bluetooth adapter and windows vista 64 bit

Please help. I have read and followed all of the other suggestions on this forum and nothing has worked.
I have a palm treo. When I try to hotsync using the bluetooth adapter, it gives me a message stating:
"unable to connect,port is being used by another application".
I have rebooted, soft reset, etc. and still get the same message.
I do not know how to set up another port on the windows vista program. That was one suggestion.
I have selected both bluetooth and serial port under the hot sync manager.
Nothing works.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Hello akashmedehrotra and welcome to the community.....
Windows Vista 64 bit is only sync with a wireless connection. Either Bluetooth or Infra Red. The M515 does not have bluetooth, so you would have to purchase an IR Dongle and sync using Infra Red. You won't be able to sync with the USB cable on your desktop.

Help, hotsync palm treo 755p to my laptop with windows vista 64 bit.

I am computer unsavy and could use some help. I have a palm treo 755p that previously synced with my old dell laptop. That computer broke, and I got a new HP with windows vista 64 bit. Previously, the dell was running windows xp. I have bought some new software, which I have downloaded to my laptop, and am trying to sync my palm to the new computer so that I can download the program to the computer. However, after installing the Palm Hotsync Manager and other software, and when I trying to sync, the computer does not seem to recognized my palm, and times out after a while stating "the connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again.

Palm OS devices will only sync to 64bit through Bluetooth. We have a stickie concerning this. It's the third topic down under windows hotsync. Does your computer have Bluetooth?

Can't HotSync my Tungsten E2 with my Windows Vista 64 Bit System and I'm Upset!!!!!

By no choice of my own we were dealt the unfortunate hand of having to replace our last computer it died and to fix it was too much so against my better judgement we had to get an HP with Windows Vista 64 bit on it and there's a bunch of things that wont work with it and my Palm Tungsten E2 is one of those things that wont work.
I have looked on here before I asked what to do and I've seen something about syncing by bluetooth? I'm not computer literate so you'll have to speak to me in terms I can understand. I'm not an idiot but not computer savy.
I know what a blue tooth is but here's where I'll sound "stupid" is it the same type of bluetooth as you'd use for your phone?
I'd really like to get this backed up on our computer because I have alot of info on it and I'm lost without it and I'm tinkled off that now I can't use it.
Help if you can.
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Michelle, "BlueTooth" is not something you hold in your hand - it's a wireless radio network used for short-range data transfer. Much like "FM" or "AM" radios. There are dozens of devices nowadays that have BlueTooth built into them - GPS units, laptops, phones, PDA's, cars, etc. (And yes, the little earpiece that people love to show off more often than necessary uses BlueTooth!)
Your option is to add BlueTooth capability to your laptop by purchasing a tiny "dongle". (A dongle is a generic term for any little USB device that protrudes from your computer.)
There are several ongoing threads about syncing to 'Vista 64 via BlueTooth in this section of the forum. The key to success in purchasing a BlueTooth dongle is verifying that the dongle does support Vista64...

Palm Z22 won't sync to new laptop Windows Vista 64 bit

I just got a new laptop and I am unable to sync my Palm Z22 with windows vista 64 bit. My computer keeps saying I need a device driver installed but it can't find it. I did read some of the other threads but am still confused. My laptop is bluetooth compatible but my palm is not. Is there a way to make my Palm bluetooth capable? Or any other way for the device to sync?
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Because the Z22 has neither Bluetooth or Wi-Fi (and has no way to add either, because it lacks an expansion card slot), the only way to Hotsync your Z22 to a Vista 64-bit computer is with Infrared (IR) beaming. That means you will need to buy an IR adapter for your computer. I don't have direct experience in making it work, but this thread discusses how:

USB Connections on Windows Vista 32-bits edition

Hi. Since I installed Windows Vista 32 bits edition (don't ask me why, but when I used the 64 bits edition- which I uninstalled because some games didnt' work well- this didn't happen), I have this trouble.
I have a N80. When I use the USB Connection in PC Suite Mode, the Nokia PC Suite perfectly detects the phone, and Windows installs the drivers by downloading them from Windows Update, I know this because when the balloon in bottom right corner appears, it says "Installing new hardware software..." and if I click, the little windows apeears, and it says "Downloading from Windows Update".
The problem comes when it finishes installing it. Windows says that there was an error when installing new devices, the error code is 28, and the legend is:
The name is already used as a service name or as a display name of some service.
Or something like that, I have Windows in spanish and I tried to translate it. And the Nokia PC Suite never displays "Nokia N80 connected via USB", always remain as "No connected phones". This doesn't happens if I use the bluetooth mode, but I need the USB because I want to check if firmware updates are avaliable and other things.
I tried in differents USB ports with the same results.
Has anybody had a similar experience or any idea? Or maybe is this a known issue? (obviusly known by everybody but me, ...)

- Ihave the exact same problem as you do and so far have not found a solution to the problem. Everytime I check the post board I see more and more have viewed your post but no one else seems to have an answer for you either. I e-mailed tech support and answer I got was no help what so ever to me. So posting a comment to your question in hopes of getting someone's attention that maybe can help us both. Who knows maybe Creative might even respond to us.

Tungsten T5 and Windows Vista 64-bit

I just got a new laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit. I have bluetooth on my laptop. I am trying to figure out some way to sync my T5 with Vista 64-bit. Can someone please help me!

jennrankin, please view this similar thread to yours with answers how to sync your T5:

While there is no USB driver written, it is most certainly possible to sync a T5 via BlueTooth or Wifi!!!

After rebooting my Windows Vista 64 bit system, could not access iTunes; after uninstalling I tried reinstalling, but it has been running for more than 24 hrs. Should I cancel installation?

I had been updating my Windows Vista 64 bit system and as a result of a problem, had to reboot my system. Afterwards, I was no longer able to access iTunes. I got a message stating that there was a problem with some of the files associated with the application. A phone rep at Apple's Customer Service provided me with emails linking instructions on completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. I did the uninstall, then checked for lingering iTunes files and couldn't completely remove some, but tried intalling the latest version of iTunes. It has been running for roughly 24 hours. The status bar is green all the way across, and when I try to cancel, I get the following message: "Are you sure you want to cancel iTunes installation?" I keep hitting "no," but am staring to wonder if there is a problem with the install. Should it take this long if I have roughly 134 gigs of music? I can still see the music in my computer's C drive, so I am worried that there is an error, perhpas because I didn't clear out all the lingering C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and all the lingering C:\Program Files\iTunes\. Any thoughts?

It is not just the HP. I have 3 HP computes and 2 Dell computers. 2 of the HP and 1 Dell suffer the iTunes internet block. Took me a while to figure it out also. But, the one thing that is different on the Dell, is that I can leave iTunes installed and not open it and everything works. As soon as I open it, internet access goes down. BUT secure sites (https:) works fine.

Can't install itunes on windows vista 64 bit

I'm trying to install itunes on a windows vista 64 bit machine but keep getting the error message "could not access network location %appdata%\." Does anybody know what is the matter?

could not access network location %appdata%\
It looks like it's having trouble getting one of the iTunes preference files in. There's a couple in each user account (usually in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes and C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes).
Has a version of iTunes previously been successfully installed on that PC? If so, was it working properly prior to your doing the current installs?
What hard drive is your "Users" folder on? Is it the C drive or somewhere else?
If it's somewhere else, are your Program files also on that other drive or are they on the C drive?

Can I install iTunes in separate user accounts on Windows Vista 64-bit?

Hi,
My wife and I use different user accounts on Windows Vista 64-bit. Before I go and mess things up on my computer, I wanted ask some questions:
1) Has anyone has successfully installed iTunes to multiple user account?
2) If so, has anyone successfully shared the same music root directory for 2 different iTune instances.
I'm thinking with iTunes very tight integration with the music files (for indexing/searching, etc), that it would be bad to have add/change/delete on the same music root from 2 independent installations.
Experience OR opinions welcome!

) Has anyone has successfully installed iTunes to multiple user account?
You don't install the iTunes application more than once. Each user account in Windows will have its own iTunes library.
If so, has anyone successfully shared the same music root directory for 2 different iTune instances.
Many people have done so. This should help:
iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
Note that iTunes has no folder-watching capability, so if you add a track in one user account, the other user will have to add that new item manually, either by using the Add To Library command or dragging the item into the iTunes window. There are a couple of potential solutions from other developers, though:
