Can I use my PB as a phone and answer machine?

Hi.
I use Palm desktop as my diary and it seems to have the ability to dial phone numbers. Could I use my bluetooth headset the same way as I use it in Skype, only to talk on my landline? Is there any software that will act as an answering machine if someone dials into the computer?
Regards,Nick.

OS 7.5 used to include this as standard - I don't know when it was dropped. 
MacUpdate has a couple of solutions.

  • Can I use one contacts database for phone and email?

    I have a gmail contacts list for email.  I also have a phone number database imported from a non-apple cell phone to my iPhone 5c.  I find that I'm using the iphone more and more for both phone and email, but I also use my PC for email.
    I exported my 300+ gmail contacts using google to a CSV file, cleaned it up, and imported it back to my PC.  Of course, it doesn't have the 200+ phone numbers that are in my phone number listing now on my iPhone.
    I like working with spreadsheets because of the many utilities to sort, cut/paste, etc.  If I take my gmail database, ultimately add phone numbers, and sync in iTunes will it be accessed whenever I want to make a call and also when I want to send an email?  I'm hesitant to sync with the new gmail "email only" database for fear of losing all of the many phone numbers in my iPhone. Can I keep my phone numbers temporarily while I edit my master contacts database - maybe by having separate databases on my iPhone for email and phone?  I hope to eventually keep a master PC database of all data on all entries and change/reimport as needed.
    Thanks for letting me know if this will work, or if there are any cautions that I should heed.

    Yes.

    Bad mistake. You shouldn't have used your Apple ID on his phone. And you made it worse because now the contacts are gone, as you deleted them from your phone, they got deleted on iCloud. Your husband should have his Apple ID.
    There is really no way of recovering the deleted contacts unless you backed up using iTunes and even then you will only be able to recover those contacts that were on a call list. Read here:

  • Can I use j2ee in gprs mobile phone?

    How can I use j2ee in gprs moblie phone?

    Actual mobile phone are unlikely to support J2EE themselves as this is mostly server-side technology.
    You can get phones though that support J2ME, these can the communicate with a server running J2EE technologies.
    I'm not sure however if any gprs phones yet support J2ME, and it also depends on where you live.
    Try looking in the devices section at www.microjava.com

    Did you check the box that says 'Synchronize Apps'? This happened to a friend and after she enabled this synchronization she was able to use her apps as she did before.

    If you mean an Apple ID, you can as long as you did not use the IDto turn on Settings > iCloud Find My Phone, in which case your iPhone will lock on you.

  • HT4623 I used the Find My I Phone and deleted it. I lost all of my pictures. Is there a way that I can restore them?

    I used the Find My I Phone and deleted it. I lost all of my pictures, videos, and WiFi. Is there a way that I can restore these?

    So he had a spare iPhone and doesn't recongize the email address; well sorry sir but you have a very pretty brick....ask the seller for your money back as that phone is useful to neither him or you. It seems he may have just been trying to push a brick onto someone else and make it their problem.
    Next time verify the phone is completley wiped out before handing over money. At least be happy you didn't spend one thousand dollars to buy two pieces of fruit.

  • I'm in the trial period for Creative Cloud - I have about 19 days to go on Photoshop CC on my iMac.  Can I use the same CC trial on a second machine?  Specifically on a Windows 7 machine?

    I'm in the trial period for Creative Cloud - I have about 19 days to go on Photoshop CC on my iMac.  Can I use the same CC trial on a second machine?  Specifically on a Windows 7 machine?

    Nothing personal to you or Rajshee, but this is exactly why I absolutely despise these "community forums" (not just Adobe but any company).  I called the Tech Support phone line today after digging and digging for a phone number, and they told me the exact opposite, and they did it a lot faster than it was possible to get a forum response.  (That's really not personal, because you can't control that, but it's a fact.)
    Their answer: As long as I'm signed in with the same ID, I can try, say, Photoshop CC on my iMac at home and also try Acrobat Pro CC on my Windows 7 machine at work.  Same account, same login, one trial.
    This makes complete sense to me as I'm financially on the hook (potentially) for the same package.  If I give away my login to someone else, which I wouldn't do, I'm still on the hook.  This is why the cloud approach to software is such genius and I applaud it.
    BTW, 99% of the "community forum" wrong answers come on Microsoft sites, so don't feel bad. 

  • I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is!

    I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is!  Can anyone help??

    You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes.  Then you entered a password.
    It would be that specific password it is asking for.

  • How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

    How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.

    i have two iphone one is iphone 5 and othere is iphone 4 . can i use same id for both ? And do i have to purchase the application again for iphone 4 which i have buyed for iphone 5.??

    You can use the same Apple ID for both phones, you would then be able to use the purchased Apps/Content on both phones without having to pay again.

  • I need a new phone and ipod, would I be able to use an iPhone as a phone and iPod only and not have to buy the internet data plan?

    I need a new phone and iPod, would I be able to use an iPhone as a phone and iPod, without having to purchase the internet date plan?

    You cannot do this.  iPhones have to be activated with a service plan before any of the features, including the iPod features can be used.

  • How can I use my iPad to check-in and check-out books to my students in my classroom?

    How can I use my iPad to check-in and check-out books to my students in my classroom?

    Assuming there won't be any wi-fi netwokrs, will there be cellular reception there?
    If so, you need to check if a carrier or the carrier if there is only one, offers a data only plan for the iPad and similar devices along with providing a mico-SIM card. If a carrier offers a data only plan with a full size SIM card, you can cut the SIM card down to mico-SIM size. There are devices that provide for this.
    If there is cellular reception but a carrier or the carrier doesn't have a data plan only for the iPad and similar devices but offers a tethering plan for phones on their network, you can tether your iPad to the cell phone for internet access via the carrier's cellular network.
