Can't hot sync - M130 with Windows XP

Have an old Palm M130. Works fine, and was just using it for printing out agenda (hard copy), and phone numbers. Was hooked to my laptop and everyting was a-ok (hotsync was working fine). Want to install it on my desktop, but it's not synchronizing: "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again". That's the error message that I get.
Checked EVERYTHING - cable, usb port, etc.. etc... Using Windows XP. Downloaded all versions from the web site, but seems like I would need something else? The only thing that I haven't checked (and don't have the CD anymore) is Pocket Mirror. This could probably work, using it with Microsoft Outlook (which I did with my old laptop...). I don't want ending up paying 30$$$+ just to see it it might actualy work or not...
Waiting for your suggestions... Thanks in advance...

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. So if I am understanding you when you try to sync it goes to calendar and freezes and never completes the sync. That being the case the first thing you want to do is go to the conduits and turn off calendar then sync and all should be successful, except calendar will not sync. What this indicates is that you have corrupted data in your calendar, most likely on the E2. Do a google search on your computer for a utility 'dbfixit' and download it to your computer. Extract it so you have the dbfixit.prc file and double click on it to put it in the installer. Then, insuring the calendar conduit is off, sync to install it. Once installed run dbfixit. This utility is free or can be purchased for (I believe) 12.95. The free version will search for corruption and problems let you know where they are and you will have to manually fix or delete them. If you register it, when you run the utility it will find the errors and fix them as well. Once all errors are fixed, turn the calendar conduit back on and you should be able to sync.

Photo sync problem with Windows Vista?

I did some searching and was wondering if there is a solution to the photo sync problem with Windows Vista. I have gone the route of changing some of my photos to bitmap files but this is was way too much work just to view on ipod. I like to email Apple but could not find a link to do so. As far as I know I have all updates but still the iPod does not sync photos. Is there an update to this that I am missing or am I stuck changing all my photos to .bmp files?
Thanks,
Dean.

I checked out the article and not much help, thanks anyway.
Would it make a difference if I purchased Adobe Photo Album or would I still be stuck with changing and saving files to .bmp extensions? I have Adobe Photoshop album starter but still have to change file extensions.
If someone has a solution to this problem I would really be greatfull. I did contact Dell as this is a brand new computer and that was a wash. They did give me a number for Apple but of course I bought the iPod off of ebay and has no warranty on it so unless I pay a fee I'm not calling. It just blows my mind that Microsoft and Apple can't or won't come up with a fix. But I guess when Microsoft wants you to buy the Zune or Apple wants you to buy the overpriced Macintosh why would they waste time on having there products compatible with each other.
Thanks.

Sync iCloud with windows contacts

I am upgrading from MobileMe to iCloud in windows 7, w/ MobileMe I sync with my Windows contacts not with Outlook contacts (I can't stand bloated outlook app). I don't see this option in iCloud - does this mean Apple is not supporting syncing iCloud with Windows Contacts? If so I am very disappointed in Apple.
thanks,
dan

You're correct, Outlook is the only supported client for Windows, and I agree with your assesment of Outlook. There is an usupported alternative in eMClient, which does look a lot like Outlook but is simpler and snappier.
Setup is manual, mail is easy as are contacts and calendars, if you want to try it post back and I'll look for the server address information.

IPhone 3GS SYnc problems with Windows 7 64 Bit

I am having sync problems with windows 7 64 Bit.
The iPhone syncs a few tracks then hangs, a few minutes later itunes tells me the iphone has timed out.
Anyone have any ideas about this. I have tried different USB ports, cleaned the apple USB cable contacts with Servisol, restored the iPhone and reinstalled itunes.
iPhone and iTunes are latest versions.
Thanks
Joe

"Try this connect the iPhone, let the mtp driver installation fail, then go into the device manager and uninstall the unknown mtp device. If you then scan for new hardware from the device manager it should recognize the iPhone & update the driver."
Ok here's what I did:
1) Connect the iPhone (iTunes had been installed)
2) No MTP driver installation is happening as Windows detects iPhone successfully
3) Open Device Manager
4) There seems to be 2 drivers for iPhone that are active now, although I still can't see which one is the MPT driver you're referring to.
One of them sits under Portable Devices: "Apple iPhone". If I view the details of this driver, it lists the following files:
- C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\UMDF\WpdMtpDr.dll
- C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\winusb.sys
- C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\WUDFRd.sys
- C:\Windows\system32\WpdMtp.dll
- C:\Windows\system32\WpdMtpUS.dll
The other one sits under Universal Serial Bus controllers: "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". And as indicated by Joe above, it lists the following files when I view the Details:
- C:\Windows\system32\Drivers\usbaapl64.sys
- C:\Windows\system32\usbaaplrc.dll

Can you not sync wirelessly with a desktop PC on a wired network, while your iPhone is on the network wirelessly??

Can you not sync wirelessly with a desktop PC on a wired network, while your iPhone is on the network wirelessly??

I also thought that this was the case, but that is incorrect. Please see my previous post below:
I was having the same problem with an iPhone 4 and Windows XP. I finally fixed the issue! I read several posts over the past month telling me to make sure that both the PC and iPhone were on the same network. I thought that both were on the same network; however, I was using my "Guest network" to connect my iPhone to my Airport Base Station. In order for both devices to be on the same network, the first 3 numbers of both IP addresses must match. For example, if the PC's IP address is 199.167.1.X, the iPhone's IP address must be 199.167.1.Y. I signed onto my password-protected network from the phone just to see what IP address it would use. As soon as I logged on, my iPhone started to sync wirelessly. I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but I would suggest comparing the IP addresses of your PC and iPhone before doing anything else. For those posting that the PC and iPhone must be on the same Wireless network, my PC is hard-wired to the Airport Extreme and it still works!
My Setup:
iPhone 4 (running IOS 5.0.1)
Dell PC (running Windows XP SP3) (no wireless network card)
Airport Exteme Base Station (5th Generation & updated firmware)

Hi, I'd like to set alarms or reminders on my I phone or I pad so that it can update or sync automatically with each other. I don't know if this is possible or how to do it. I hope you can help..

HI, if I did this, then I believe that I cloud would then hold my info which I don't want. Is that the case? The reason is that I'm an old git, therefore used to not giving out info. Would I be right?
Thank-You so much for taking the time to answer.

If you go to iTunes on your computer click on the App Store and scroll all the way down . In the bottom right of the screen is a map logo. Click on that and then chose the flag for the country you want
