Can't sync Centro via USB in Windows 7

Hi, I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (clean install). I had previously used Vista and could sync just fine. My sync freezes at 2 or 12. The weird thing is there are two instances of "Date Book" listed in the hotsync window. Also two each "Address Book, "To Do List," and "Memo Pad."
I installed Palm Desktop 6.2 that I just downloaded from Palm.com. After running into trouble, I followed some of the troubleshooting items on the Palm support site. I unistalled Palm Desktop and reinstalled, but got the same thing.
I think the issue is the drive. When I look in Device Manager, I get a small gray question mark next to the device. Not sure if that's an issue. I tried reinstalling the driver by clicking "Update Driver" in the device manager and pointing to this filepath: C:\Program Files\Palm\USB_Driver. It said in installed okay, but then I still get this freeze when trying to sync.
Help!

Fixed problem with help of tech in this thread.
Turns out it was a corrupted date book entry and had nothing to do with Windows 7.

  • Can I sync Mail via USB with my PowerBook?

    I have a new iPhone 4S and a PowerBook G4 17" with 2 GB of RAM that is in mint condition.  I understand that I won't get e-mail from a Mail account directly on my PowerBook once I convert from MobileMe to iCloud, unless Apple or a third party develops an "app for that".  No way do I want to buy a whole new Mac just for iCloud.  Given the ability to sync music and photos between iPhone and PowerBook right now via the USB cord for my iPhone, can I also sync my Mail via USB if I upgrade to iCloud on my iPhone?

    You may sync your mac with iPhone via iTunes, as always with iPhones, check whether version is compatible with last iOS. Then your iPhone may sync with iCloud. I still have a 12 in PB made in 2004, it works fine with my iPhone, just it is older, the first iPhone on the market, it sill works fine, no need to replace it.
    Before testing anything, backyp your data, just in case you make a mistake, always do that.

  • Can I not sync Calendar via USB anymore?

    I just noticed that my iPad no longer syncs with the Calendar on my laptop. I did a search in the Help menu (which actually worked this time) and it said that you have to sync Calendars in Maverick with iCloud. What??? I don't use iCloud, and don't intend to.
    Is this true? Hooking up the iPad to the computer no longer syncs data through the cable??

    Hello Dub1_303. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Ok so here is what i have to work with, an action tech modem with a usb port, and a airport express connected to it via that usb port. the problem is in the airport express itself. Its not configured yet! How can i configure the AE via usb because this pc running vista doesn't have wifi? Can it be done via usb?
    The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) must be connected to a DSL/Cable modem via Ethernet to function as a wireless router; the AX's USB port is only for connecting to a USB printer.
    It sounds like you are attempting to use the AX as a substitute wireless card for the PC by connecting it to the PC's USB port. Sorry, but that will not work.

  • Syncing email via USB

    Is there any way to sync email between Outlook and the iPhone via the USB connection - from what I've read on this forum is seems like it can't be done.
    What is the reason for not allowing email to be sync'd via USB?

    Firstly you should not have installed iSync 1.5 under Mac OS X 10.4.11.
    iSync 2.4 is the version of iSync for Mac OS X 10.4.11 and is already installed. By installing an older version you may have broken syncing completely because doing so will have overwritten important system components with much older versions.
    Hopefully, you made a full system backup before installing iSync 1.5 so that you can easily revert to it.
    The reason why no existing iSync Plugins (which can only be used with iSync 2.4 and later) don't support USB syncing is because the phone itself doesn't support USB syncing on a Mac. You can only sync older Sony Ericsson phones via Bluetooth.
    Even if the phone was USB compatible, if you can't navigate the menus then you couldn't have put the phone in the correct USB mode. Plus, you couldn't have transferred the contacts anyway, as contacts are not visible via USB on any Sony Ericsson phones.
    So, unfortunately if you can't use the phone, there is no way to get your contacts off it, unless you happened to copy your contacts onto the SIM and can put the SIM in another fully working phone.

  • Can't transfer files via PC Suite: Windows Explore...

    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Nokia E61 (3.0633.09.04) via USB cable
    Windows XP SP2 + latest patches/updates
    PC Suite 3.82.22.0
    I can connect and see the phone and install software via PC Suite, but I cannot transfer. It will start to transfer the file and then I get a Windows system error dialogue box asking if I want to send the error to Microsoft or not. :-(
    This used to work on my phone. But then my computer crashed and I had to reinstall it. Now it's pretty much the same machine but PC Suite won't transfer files.

  • How to charge your Palm Centro via 64-bit Windows, with a USB cable

    Here is a way to recharge your Palm Centro on your 64-bit Windows computer, through a USB cable.  But first, a few brief explanatory notes...
    Note 1:  I have successfully used this method to charge my Palm Centro from my 64-bit Windows 7 computer.  This method probably works for other Palm devices and other 64-bit Windows versions (XP and Vist)...  but I haven't tested this on any other configurations.  Others may feel free to post their successes or failures with their setups.
    Note 2:  This method will NOT allow you to HotSync your Palm to the computer via USB.  All it does is let you charge your Palm via USB.  If you need to HotSync your Palm, and you have 64-bit Windows, you have to use Bluetooth or some other method.  To learn how to use Bluetooth to sync, search for "bluetooth sync 64-bit" or something like that on this forum.
    Note 3:  If you're wondering why someone would need to use this method - why not just plug the phone into a wall outlet, right? - it's because the Centro's charging jack can get messed up.  Mine has not worked properly for the last several months
    Note 4:  I will not be posting any follow-ups to this message.  This is my first (and only) post here...  I'm posting here because I am very grateful to this forum: It is here that I learned how (and why) to sync my Centro to my computer via Bluetooth, because Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows. This is my way of saying "thank you"!  I'm not trying to be harsh by not following up...  it's just that I won't be checking this thread, and I don't want anyone to have bad feelings if they ask questions and I don't respond.  I'll be as thorough as I can in this one posting, though. 
    Note 5:  I cannot claim credit for actually discovering this solution.  I found it after HOURS of looking online... it was on some obscure website.  Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found the original solution, so I can't credit the discoverer here.  However, I have done my best to provide much more detailed instructions here.
    Note 6:  Lastly, Palm should support 64-bit Windows.  Period.  Some of you may say, "It's not Palm's fault - the company that makes the Palm OS is Access, and it's Access's fault for not supporting 64-bit Windows."  Well, this may be true, but Access has stated that Palm has not requested a 64-bit driver.  (In fact, you can call Access and ask them directly.)  And if Palm doesn't ask (and pay) for it, Access sure isn't going to create one on its own.  I used to LOVE Palm devices...  I've used Palms for 12 years now, and for most of that time, I heartily recommended Palms to all my friends.  But, between this problem and the other problems I've had with my current Centro and my previous Treo, I'm done with Palm.  No more for me.
    OK, here's how to charge your Palm (finally!)
    1)  If you haven't done so already, install the latest version of Palm Desktop / HotSync on your computer.  You can get this at palm.com, under the "support" section.  (Actually, I'm not sure if this is necessary, but I already had done this.)
    2)  As you're installing the software on your computer, toward the end of the process, do not actually sync your Palm to your computer.  Just cancel or whatever you have to do to avoid that step.  (Remember, the whole point here is that Palm does not have a driver compatible with 64-bit Windows, so you won't be able to sync via USB.)
    3)  If you don't already have it, get the PocketTunes application (also known as "pTunes") on your Palm device.  If you have to install the software, you may need to do so wirelessly or via a 32-bit Windows computer (because, again, Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows).
    4)  Connect the Palm USB cable to your computer.  If you are using a desktop, plug into the USB ports on the BACK of your computer.  These ports are directly powered, whereas the ports on the front of your desktop may not be.  You'll want as much juice as possible to charge your Palm.
    5)  Connect the Palm USB cable to your Palm.
    6)  Turn on the Palm device, and open the PocketTunes application on your Palm.
    7)  PocketTunes will try to connect to Windows Media Player (on your desktop).  Tell your desktop to connect to Windows Media Player.  (You can save time by telling your desktop to do this automatically.)  When PocketTunes connects with Windows Media Player, you'll have a power connection via USB.
    8)  PocketTunes will eventually show that it is "Idle" on the Palm.
    9)  To confirm whether the Palm is charging, look for the charging light (on the Centro, it's on the upper left) to turn solid red.  You can also hit the home button on the Palm to see the battery / charging status.  To get the charging working, you may have to exit PocketTunes and come back into it a few times before the charging light comes on.  I have no idea why you have to do this; I just know what I wind up doing sometimes.  You don't have to unplug and replug the phone from the USB cable, or turn the phone off and on.  Just leave PocketTunes and come back to PocketTunes.
    10)  If you exit the PocketTunes application on the Palm, the Palm will still charge - but you'll get the constant and annoying "no driver" noise from Windows.  To avoid that sound, just keep the Palm on PocketTunes while you have the Palm plugged into the USB cable.
    11)  You can close Windows Media Player on the desktop once you have the Palm charging.
    12)  Once you have this set up properly, you can speed up the process by setting the HotSync cable button to PocketTunes - after all, that button no longer needs to be set up to HotSync via USB cable.
    When you have everything set up, here's what you would be doing on a regular basis:
    -- Plug USB cable (which is already plugged into your computer) into Palm
    -- Hit HotSync button on cable --> This starts PocketTunes --> PocketTunes automatically opens Windows Media Player on the computer
    -- See if charging light turns solid red --> If not, exit PocketTunes, then hit HotSync button on cable to start PocketTunes again
    -- Repeat until charging light turns solid red (success!)
    -- Once the Palm is charging, close Windows Media Player on desktop
    Best of luck to all who need this!

    Why do you want to create your own driver instead of what comes with the device? If you go that route, you need all of the low level USB RAW protocol from the vendor. Did you get that? Yoe are wasting your time if you don't have that. Is the driver from the vendor documented? If it's a USB connection, how does that connection show up in windows device manager?

  • Internet Sharing:  Palm Device can't find Internet via USB to Imac G5

    None of the internet-using applications on my Palm Tungsten E handheld can find the internet, via a USB connection from the Palm to my Imac G5 and its high speed internet connection.
    I have 3rd party software (The Missing Sync 5 from Mark/Space) that is supposed to enable a USB-connected Palm device to share an OS X Mac's internet connection. But I'm not getting beyond the Mac and I think either something on the Imac or perhaps my Linksys router is blocking internet communication to and from the Palm device.
    Despite turning off the Mac's firewall and enabling internet sharing in the OS X prefs panes, neither my Palm's web browser nor its mail program can get through to the internet and all I get are communications errors.
    I would greatly appreciate suggestions as to what to try next as I have done just about everything I can think of to try to get this Palm to access the internet via the Mac
    IMAC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   750 Mb RAM

    Hello Adrian - thank you for your suggestions. The USB-connected PALM does NOT show up in The Imac's "Network Ports" - - and the only thing I could add, as a port, that was not already there, was something called "6 to 4" -whatever that is.
    The Palm is supposed to be able to get its internet page requests out onto my router and DSL line via the Mac's ethernet port when: A) this Palm is connected to the Mac via USB and B) when the Internet sharing feature is enabled in a software app called - The Missing Sync, which it is, and when C) Internet Sharing is turned on in the Mac 'Sharing' pref. All these conditions are true, but sadly none of the internet apps on the Palm can find the internet .
    I suspect a DNS issue - even though my router of course knows the DNS addresses of my ISP.
    I should think that the PALM and the host Mac would have the same IP address - namely the one assigned via DHCP by my router when the Mac boots up.
    Very frustrating....
    I know nothing about Palms but I'll give it a
    shot...
    You say "Despite turning off the Mac's firewall and
    enabling internet sharing in the OS X prefs panes",
    are you seeing a USB option in the window? If so
    select it.
    If not try going to System Preferences>Network>Show:
    Network Port Configurations. (This with the Palm
    plugged in via USB).
    Is it in that window? If it is tick it and go back to
    internet sharing and select it in that window. (It
    should have now appeared).
    If it's not in System Preferences>Network>Show:
    Network Port Configurations; select 'New', and click
    'Port'. Does it appear in the drop-down list there?
    If it does, select it, name it and click OK. (Note:
    USB isn't a 'normal' option here but maybe your
    Missing Sync will have added it..?)
    That will take you back to the main Network Port
    Config window where you tick it if it isn't already.
    Then go back to Sharing>Internet to see if is
    available there. If is is, tick it.
    If it isn't, don't know. Sorry.
    Have fun!

  • Can't sync Firefox v35 bookmarks on Windows 7 and Android 2.3.5 phone

    I can't get my Windows 7 PC Firefox to Sync bookmarks with my Motorola Droid X2 phone after hours of trying. Sync has worked between these 2 devices for many months. I can't tell when it stopped working but for sure changes I made 4 hours ago aren't being sync'd right. Details:
    Windows 7 PC, Firefox 35.0.1, Tools, Options, Sync, Manage, and see "Manage account", "You are signed in as <my email>". SO ALL LOOKS GOOD. Tools, Sync Now, just to be sure (I've done this several times).
    Motorola Droid X2 smartphone (Android 2.3.5, ARMV7), Settings (the phone, not Firefox), Accounts, click on the Firefox icon and my email address and "Firefox_fxaccount", Configure Sync, see "Signed in as <my email>" and "Sync: enabled" and checkmarks on Bookmarks and Passwords. Back one screen to where I see "Sync Firefox", a green checkbox, and "1/29/2015 2:19 pm" (earlier today). Uncheck the box. Re-check the box. See "1/29/15 2:23 pm" (now). SO ALL LOOKS GOOD. Start Firefox version 35.0, Bookmarks, Desktop Bookmarks, Bookmarks Menu, drill down to changes made 4 hours ago, MISSING. And there are still old bookmarks here that I deleted on my PC 4 hours ago.
    I have read all I can online, "old vs new Sync", restarted both the PC and phone, read about Android 2.2 and ARMV6 having support dropped this month (but I am 2.3 and ARMV7), etc. etc. etc.
    Help!
    Update: I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (Android 4.4.2) running Firefox 35.0 and it works fine. Its bookmarks in the problem bookmark folder agree with the PC as desired. So the problem seems to be only with the phone.
    Update: Problem solved. The sync finally happened on my phone after 6 hours! I did nothing to initiate it and just finally noticed it had happened. I was monitoring https://status.services.mozilla.com/ during this whole process and the service was fine. For some reason Sync took 6 hours to make it to my phone.

  • How can I sync my iPod with a Windows 8 PC?

    I just got a new Windows 8 PC and want to sync 2 differnt iPod Touch 4G.  When I choose to sync the Music, I get a message about erasing everything and will sync with what's on my PC.  However, the only music showing up in iTunes are some recent purchases.  All the previous purchases and songs copied from CDs are not there.  But, I can look on the hard drive, and the songs are all there.  Some are MP3s and others are MPEG-4's.
    I have backed up one iPod and hten restored from that back-up, then tried to Sync, but I continue to get the message about erasing the iPod.  And iTunes is still only showing the recent purchases.  I have tried transfering the MPEG-4 songs to iTunes, but it won't let me!
    Another problem is that I have an iTunes account and my son has one.  How can I sync and have hte iPod pull the content from the correct account?  I don't see how I can sign in to iTunes and have a choice of which account to use.
    Thanks.

  • How can I sync the ipod touch with windows 7 64 bit

    How can I sync the ipod touch with Outlook on windows 7 64 bit?

    I'm having the same problem with Windows 7, iTunes has been spotty about recognizing my iPod Touch. Now that I've updates Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (June 2011), It won't complete a sync or a restore at all on either of my Windows 7 computers.
    I have gone through every troubleshooter action recommended by Apple Support, and have not been able to improve the situation at all.
    I took my Touch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store after trying and failing to complete a restore while troubleshooting, and it restored just fine from a Mac.  Unfortunately, it now gives me an error meesage (Incompatible device) half way through an attempted sync, or iTunes simply freezes.
    I even tried removing the Windows SP1, but that was a mess, as my display went all whacky and iTunes crashed immediately upon startup.
    The Windows 7 OS ***** in general, particularly with compatibility issues, and not just for Apple products.
    Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
    I'm so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this issue that I'm going to throw it all out the window!

  • TS2756 I can no longer connect via USB/service missing

    ..& my iPhone does not show up on the list anymore.  I can still use Wi-Fi, though.  I would like to be able to use the USB connection again.  Resetting the network settings doesn't help.  BTW, I'm using it with my MacBook Pro running 10.7.5 and my iPhone has the latest iOS update as well.
    When I first got the phone, I always used my internet connection via USB, but then it started giving me trouble.  I tried all kinds of suggestions that I found here and it was a real crap shoot -- sometimes it worked, and sometimes not.  Now it just won't work at all.  I recently deleted my iPhone from the list of services thinking that the next time I plugged it in, it would recreated the service.  It did not.  So, I'm still using it as before: just connecting over Wi-Fi (the network is still available, it just doesn't show up in my list of services on the left-hand column under "network").
    Anyone have any suggestions that they know will fix this? 

    Hi DaveX83 and welcome to the discussions.
    A few things to try.
    Press the reset button once on the back of your Extreme and let it restart. Check for proper operation.
    If no help there, keep the ethernet cable connected, and open Airport Utility. Click on Manual Setup near the bottom of the pane. On the next screen click the Airport icon at the upper left of the pane, then click Wireless in the line just below that reads Summary - Time Capsule - Wireless - Access.
    Check to see that your wireless is set up, security set up, passwords, etc. You may need to reconfigure your wireless settings again and update the Extreme to store them and restart.
    Hope this helps.
