Bluetooth Treo 650 Sync now works

I tried syncing my Palm Treo 650 with MBP 17" via Bluetooth since May with no success until the 10.4.7 update.
I configured everything last month but connection failed due to " Port is already in use". So, after this update I tried connection vis Bluetooth with all settings the same a it work fine.

I edited my rush post that had several spelling errors.

Also my Palm TX can sync via Bluetooth now. All is good now.

Palm Treo 650 Sync wiped out my address book--HELP!!

Got a replacement Treo 650; went to do my first hard sync. Not only did calendar not port over, but it completely wiped out my entire address book (except for two records created yesterday). Freaked out!! All my iSync settings are the same as previous and have always worked. What to do? Thankfully I still have my old Treo 650 with address book intact, but no one seems able to tell me how to reverse port that address book to my MacBook Pro.
Pul-eeze someone help me!

This was likely caused by introducing an 'empty' Treo into your synchronization framework with the same HotSync name and without having reset the framework before doing so. The framework properly recognized the new devices as the old—but now empty—device, and removed all of the records from iCal and the Address Book as it should have.
Simply backing up both databases using the built in facility to do so, or assigning a new HotSync name to the replacement device would have either allowed you to immediately recover from this unforeseen consequence, or to have avoided it entirely.
Before you do anything else, you should read this document so that you understand how the synchronization framework operates.
Then, reset the framework by launching iSync, opening the Preferences… pane, and pressing the Reset Sync History… button. This will leave your sync clients registered and your data—such as it is at this point—intact, and set the truth database to appear as if you have never synchronized at all. When you attach your identically named original device, be sure that you choose to Merge data with your computer and not to Replace the data on it.
Once you have merged the data, open iCal and the Address Book and make any changes that you wish to to your data, then pause to back each database up using the built-in option in each application to do so. Synchronize once again, and you changes will not only have been backed up, but distributed across your synchronization pool.

Outlook 07 synch to Palm Treo 650 Sync Conduit produces Contacts DUPLICATES in Outlook... Help!

I downloaded the Sync Conduit from Palm, ran a synch from Treo 650 to Outlook 2007 (Vista 32) and it created duplicates for most of my CONTACTS in Outlook 07, not all but most, wierd.
Treo 650 (Cingular) - ( Palm Desktop 6.2 ) - Outlook 2007 (Office 2007) - PC Dual Core Vista Home Premium
Can anyone help get Palm Conduit Sync to not create dups? I deleted all and tried it twice. There are no duplicates in the Treo or Desktop, never had a problem syncing to Palm Desktop, only to Outlook (I am converting from Windows Mail to Outlook)
Thanks,

Te hotsync manager does not create duplicates.
You will need to clean up the contacts database in Outlook, hard reset your Treo, set the hotsync conduits to desktop overwrites handheld and then sync.
Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding reset procedures.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887
There is a 3rd party app. that will remove duplicates in Outlook.
Here is the link to the site; http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/remove_duplicates/
One thing you may not be aware of is that Palm desktop 6.2 has the Outlook 2007 conduits already installed, you do not need to install the Outlook 2007 conduit update.
You may want to remove the 2007 conduit update using control panel.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

"copy phone #" button on Treo 650 does not work!

has anyone else experiend this:
when i'm trying to add an unrecognized phone number into my contacts and i click on the "copy phone #" button, nothing happens.
any suggestion?!? thanks in advance!
Post relates to: Treo 650 (Verizon)

I'm having the exact same problem. I also hear the error beep when I try to use that button.
Though using "Add to Contacts", copying the # from there, then deleting the new contact is a possible work-around, it sure isn't efficient.
I just emailed a report of this to customer support, not having found this posting the first time I searched through the forum. We'll see what kind of a response I get back from them. I'm guessing due to the general process of things, and due to other shortcomings of the "Call Log", it might just be easier to find a replacement application? Anyone have any suggestions, preferably free? I didn't see anything appealing at PalmGear (free or otherwise).
(Surprisingly, I can't find any other mentions of this issue, on Google or elsewhere! Though I don't see how we can be the only people with this problem. Just to eliminate the possibility of any conflicts with other software, I did a backup and hard reset, and still had the issue.)
My software version, according to "Phone / Options / Phone Info / Software" is "Treo650-1.04-CDMA", and am running "Palm OS Garnet v.5.4.8".

Isync Palm treo 650 sync problems

Hey Guy
I work myself though the discusions about tha tproblem and tried more or less everything.
I`ll discribe the problem and hope that some one cna bring some light in the Dark
I have a powerbook with 10.4.4
isync 2.1.1
palmdesktop 4.21d
THe usb Connector
I have about 6850 Contact
and my Calander Dates back to 1985 with daily entries/a **** lot of data
I installed the latest palm desktop
then i synced once -->> opend Palm desktop/Hotsync/ Conduit settings/aktivated the isync conduit.
Then i went into isync and activated the palm os sync
as soon as i start the sync withthe sync button on my dockingstation it start normaly but goes very slow.

Sync now works (finally) but toolbar icons out of order every time: new info at end.

EDIT: THis part was solved; see last post.
Hi, I'm running FF 27.0.1 on a Win 8.1 desktop; and a Vista Laptop; plus the latest FF mobile on my Android phone (S4)
Suddenly, nothing syncs. Now, the Win 8.1 desktop is new. I set it up. I migrated all my settings by pairing with my laptop. All was well. It worked! Suddenly, it just sort of stopped working.
As a test, I created a bookmark for Time Magazine on my Laptop. It does not appear on the desktop nor the phone, no matter how many times that I sync. The desktop, indeed, says it hasn't sync'd since 2-15, even though I keep telling it to sync. I then created a bookmark for a YouTube video on the desktop. That doesn't appear on either of the other devices. I checked the phone--and somehow sync was turned OFF. I turned it back on. And sync'd. No change.
--I unpaired the laptop and went through the pairing sequence again, using the desktop as the master. No change
--I "reset" sync on each machine by choosing to "merge sync" data. No change.
I saw another recent thread on this recommending some file deletions. I'm reluctant to start deleting things without knowing the consequence of what is lost, and also, of course, that solution may not apply to me.
So, any help appreciated.

Ok, I give up....if anyone has any ideas, please advise.
At this point, FF seems to take it as its mission in life to constantly rearrange my toolbar bookmark icons.
I don't know what else I can possibly do.
First, I deleted my sync account entirely. Started again with my new desktop and gradually added my other devices (laptop, tablet, android phone.)
Every time I go to the laptop, things are out of order. I don't much care because that's what used to happen in the past, too. I could never solve it.
But I rearrange things anyway, hoping sync will be right on the desktop. It never is. I wake up the next morning, open the desktop and all the icons are rearranged in random order yet again.
Next, I figured maybe it was the phone causing a problem. I deleted sync account from the phone!
Next, I made sure to rearrange all toolbar icons properly on the desktop and the "reset sync" so that desktop data replaces ALL OTHER DEVICES.
I reestablished a sync account on the phone and let the phone sync. I watched the desktop toolbar icons rearrange themselves out of order as I watched.
I give up. What can be done about this problem? THere's not much point having a toolbar of bookmarks if a 5-7 of them are always (the same 5-7, btw...if that's significant) scattered about at random with no alphabetical order and I can never find them.
This has been a long standing problem. Now that it is screwing up my desktop constantly, I just am ready to throw it through the window.

Actice Sync now working

I saw references to a "null" reference which I did experience. When power was cycled and the account readded i did NOT see this error anymore.

Can someone help me in figuring out what is the user name and exchange server which i need to setup in my iphone 3G Exchange settings.
I have tried everything I cound think of, but no luck !
Thanks,

I would like to be able to sync from another ID on the same computer that sync now works on.

I have a laptop running XP SP2.
Sync was setup on this machine on an administrator account, and works fine. I usually run this machine from another non-administrator account. The device I am syncing to is an iPod Touch.
I would like to be able to use my existing Sync account.
When I start to add this device and am typing my email address in it does not let me complete the field.
I am running FF4 beta.
Could someone please assist me with this problem.

When you try to use the Mac side on your external monitor do you get a blank screen or do you see the aurora background?
It would help to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

Ical stopped syncing to treo 650 and other quirks

I have been using ical with the palm software on my treo 650, but now updates to my calendar aren't syncing.
I don't know of any changes that I've made, and I think I have checked all of the settings.
I don't know if this is related, but a couple of weeks ago my ipod suddenly said "not configured to this computer" or something like that, so I had to delete my entire library of music and re-import it.
Also, the settings for Safari had to be reconfigured.
Hmmm....does anybody have any ideas why these programs are acting like that?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
There have been widespread, unexplained issues involving iSync and Palm devices, many of them involving an inability to synchronize at all with iCal. I've seen no specific solution for such problems.
While I never experienced a complete failure of calendar information to pass in one direction or the other, I did have a number of easily demonstrated, repeatable errors crop up with my Treo 600 and iSync under Mac OS X 10.4 and iSync 2, which had never occured under prior releases. For example, the Unfiled calendar would periodically pop up, even though I had selected another calendar - Palm devices - into which Palm-created calendar entries were to be transfered. And, I was never able to synchronize more than three of what were then twenty-seven automatically created birthdays, in the Address Book generated Birthdays calendar. And there were a host of other issues, including the home vs work address label problem, the inability to synchronize more than one address, data duplication within records and occasional record duplication, and other annoying shortcomings.
I simply got fed up, and updated to The Missing Sync for Palm OS version 5. What a difference! All of the quirky iSync behaviors are now a thing of the past. While it seems ridiculous that you would have to install an additional third-party application to synchronize correctly, my experience with iSync - particularly since the release of iSync 2 and Mac OS X 10.4 about six months ago - tells me that it is.
If you are interested in exploring this comprehensive, long-term solution, you can find more information about that application here:

Can't sync address book with my palm treo 650

About a week ago, my sync stopped working for my G4 and palm treo 650. the hotsync works via bluetooth and there are no errors. When I look at my contacts and calendar, no events or contacts have been imported for the past week or so.
I downloaded the latest palm update for 650 and tiger, still nothing.
Any suggestions

Figured it out and it wasn't fun. I watched the console messages as I deleted groups and tried to sync with Mobile Me until no error msg was displayed. Then I restored AB from a back up and proceeded to delete contacts one at a time and check for errors until none were displayed. After deleting about half my contacts under the one group I finally found the one contact. I then did another AB restore, deleted the troubled contact, sync'd fine, then did another backup. I have no idea why that one contact was the problem as everything looked fine. Console msgs only showed a silly number as the contact, not the name, which is why I had to go through all this. But...it's fixed.

RE: Help! Bluetooth Hotsync Failure w/ Treo 650, Leopard, & Bootcamp

I need to Hotsync my Treo 650 under both Mac OS X v.5 (Leopard) and Win XP on the same machine running under Boot Camp. Before Leopard, I was able to do this via Bluetooth (cable on Treo 650 does not work right at all) without issue.
Under Leopard, when I try to Hotsync, I get the error, "Unable to initiate Hotsync operation because port is in use by another application". If I Delete the device from the Bluetooth list and setup the device from scratch, it works perfectly and continues to do so while in Leopard.
But when I go to Win XP under Bootcamp and try to sync, I get the same error message all over again. To fix it, I delete and recreate the device setup in Bluetooth and it syncs just fine while in XP. But when I return to Mac OS X, I am back to the same error message and must delete and recreate the device again.
Does anyone know how I can set up the Treo 650 so that I don't have to delete and recreate the Bluetooth setup everytime I need to sync?

Thanks Michael, your answers in all the other threads I've read appear to be to the point and helpful.

Leopard iCal - Sync is working again!!!

As so many of you I've been struggling to sync iCal after updating from Tiger to Leopard. I've read thousands of posts and spent whole nights trying to find a solution...
Apple is my thing since 1995 and this was the single most frustrating bug from Steve Jobs' farm of geniuses!
You will not believe it, but the solution is crazy simple and you will find it on the blog of Thijs Vrolix (all credits to him):

It has resolved all my problems and the sync now works perfectly on my iPod, iPhone, Nokia E60 (Symbian) and from my MacPro (Leopard) to my Powerbook G4 (Tiger) via .Mac.

Which is the incorrect home. Why is this here and how do I fix it? Do I just put the right one in there? Somehow that feels wrong in that it's only a band-aid. Why isn't this file getting updated? What is it?

Bluetooth sync with Windows 7 for Treo 650

When I hotsync the connection bar shows up on both my Treo 650 and on the PC; both report "successful sync". But the information is not flowing between the two. I've tried a test Contact and test Calendar event going from Treo to PC and then PC to Treo and neither direction works despite the "successful sync" report. What tweaking do I need to do for a fix?
