Cannot sync with windows vista pc ?

Tried all tips in help sections but still cannot sync !

Like many others, most of the the workarounds I tried worked but for awhile only and/or not reliably. After more googling and trial and error, I finally ended up with a somewhat reliable solution using the below 2 changes. (I am running up-to-date Win7 with an Ipad2 and an Iphone5 both on ios 6 + and up-to-date Itunes software on the PC).
1) Disable IPv6 on the wireless adapter (see CKNairb's earlier post)
2) Create a bat file which stops and starts the "Apple Mobile Device" service, then starts Itunes
The bat file can be placed in any dir and a desktop shortcut created to point to it in order to easily start Itunes (right-clicking properties of the shortcut and clicking "Change Icon" will even allow the selection of the Itunes icon to make it look just right :-) )
The bat file should contain these lines:
net stop "Apple Mobile Device"
net start "Apple Mobile Device"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe"
Edit accordingly as to whether your Itunes.exe resides in \Program (x86) or \Program.
By starting Itunes using this shortcut/bat file, you will ensure that the Mobile Device service is up and running when Itunes attempts to locate the devices wirelessly - this seems to be the key issue here.
Although it is not 100% reliable, I would say that both devices are detected and synced 90% of the time. (Itunes will always find one of the 2 devices).
Anyways, based on all I have gone through to get this work, I am willing to settle for "almost reliable" solution - hopefully this may work for others as well.
Happy syncing!

Cannot sync with Windows Vista and BB 7105t

I was using Windows XP and everything worked great. Now I have Vista and cannot sync. I open the BB Desktop Manager and it says my device is disconnected. I am plugged in to a USB port, tried two different ones and makes no difference. Thus when I go to Synchronize, the Sync or Configure PIM are not available. Also when I just plug into my computer to charge, I get a message "USB charge current is not suffigient. . . . " However, it does charge, just a little more slowly than with my XP computer. Any suggestions?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Here is what you need to do.
Use this procedure to cleanly uninstall the DM you have loaded:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02206&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
Go to here and download Desptop software 4.2.2 without Media manager;
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Cold boot the PC after de-install and :
Install with these Vista condierations:
1. Right-Click on Command Prompt in Start Menu and choose Run as Administrator
2. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Research in Motion\Blackberry\IS71 Connectors\MS Outlook Connector by typing: c:\> cd program files\research in motion\blackberry\is71 connectors\ms outlook connector
3. Then type in the command prompt, type: regsvr32 MsOutlookConnector.fil
4. If the registration is successful, the following message displays:
DllRegisterSErver in msoutlookconnector.fil succeeded.
5. Close and open Blackberry Desktop Manager to perform the synchronization process again and Outlook will be in the list...
If you receive the error message DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80070005 - you do not have admin rights. So, it's important that you run command prompt as admin.

Now go to your carriers blackberry software site, get the correct device OS and make sure the app loaded can find it.
Configure the DM and try to sync.

Hot Sync with Windows Vista, Windows 7`

I have a client with a large deployment of Palm III and Palm IIIc devices. They are looking for a HotSync Manager that is compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7, and that will still support sync operations with Palm III and Palm IIIc devices.

Sync with windows vista

if a sync my iPhone with windows vista i can do all what i can do if i have mac os x?

I have outlook 2007 and my contacts, calanders all sync. I have another iphone that syncs to an imac and I do not see any difference in the ability to sync music, movies etc., except that the imac does it a lot faster than my dual core vista. Both are new machines but the Imac is about 65% faster at least. Hope this helps and enjoy your phone. I convinced my wife to chuck her blackberry curve (3 months old) for the iphone and now she's telling all her friends what a great improvement she made with her choice and she surfs the net, plays music and syncs like a pro.

Palm T/X Sync with Windows Vista - 64 processor

I have a Palm T/X handheld and recently purchased a new computer that has Windows Vista operating system and a 64-bit processor. I tried to download the software that would allow me to HotSync my T/X with Windows Vista, but apparently this does not work with a 64-bit processor. Is Palm going to provide that software download soon, or if not, how do I get around this issue? Thanks

I have not yet heard of any compatible software for the 64-bit but I have seen some solutions and ideas that might be helpful to you. Read through this thread and see if you find the information helpful!

Best calendar for iphone 5 sync with Windows vista ?

I use windows vista at home/work. I need a new calendar/software ( eg Outlook ), and am considering purchasing the iphone5 as well.
Which software do you recommend for windows vista that will easily sync back and forth with the iphone 5 ?

If all this changed after you had to change the password to access your server, then perhaps you are mistyping the password.

IPhone sync with Windows Vista

Hi,
My Outlook was syncing fine with my iphone until I was asked to change my password. When I did this, my mail wouldn't come in anymore. So I erased my account and tried to set it up again. Now I can't even connect to the server! It says my password is invalid even though it works fine with my work computer and webmail.
I heard that it will not sync because of a software issue between the iphone and Windows Vista server or something. Where can I get help for this??? I have no mails, contacts, or calendars. My IT department doesn't support iphone so they won't touch it, and the phone company has no idea also.

Palm z22 will not sync with windows vista

I have been following the forums and this seems to be consistent issue and no one seems to be able to give a straight answer as to what to do. I like to consider myself a biut of a techie, but this blows my mind. My computer recognized my z22 twice and synced twice, but ever since it synced with it the second time and i installed my belkin wireless key board it stopped working. I don't know why but my computer will no longer recognize the device, i've tried everything i've seen discussed i've installed different versions of palm desktop i've tried restarting my palm in everyway possible, there is no way on earth i am going to reload vista or wipe my hard drive or any crap like that i've got to much stuff and i don't have the disks for it anymore anyway. so what am i supposed to do. i'm trying to keep cool but this is sort of something i'm counting on working to help me keep organized while i go through college, and i think it's understandable that i would be a little frustrated.

Check out either MusicTones or MiniTones, both free programs that work similarly. Available from freewarepalm.com.
They will scan your SD card for songs, then let you edit out a slice right on your Centro. You choose the Start and Stop locations of the "slice". When satisfied, click the "Add" button, and it will appear in your list of Ringtones.

IPod Mini cannot Sync with Windows XP

I have a Dimension 4550 (Dell) running with Windows XP w/SP2. In the past when we purchased our iPod Mini, all things ran well. We had a system crash, and when attempting to load back we noted that iTunes now (ver 7+)requires a 500 Mhz; and ours is a 256Mhz. Therefore, I load on from a website an older version of iTunes (ver 4.9)
iTunes loaded on fine, but when we attempt to sync the iPod Mini we get the following message:
The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod’s software.
I do not want to load the new Version, becuase it will not install on our machine due to the MHz matters discussed above. However, if anyone has a way to resolve this matter I welcome your comments. Thanks

The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod’s software.
if you are using an iTunes 4.9, it would also help to have the IPod Updater software installed. here's a link through to that:

Bluetooth Sync with Windows Vista - 64 bit

Recently found out that i have to use bluetooth to hot sync to my desktop PC. It is a 64 bit Windows Vista. I have the bluetooth device (USB), what do i need to do to the PALM device (T/X) to make sure the sync is appropriate?
Post relates to: Palm TX

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. First your computer has to have bluetooth compatibility, if it is not built in then you will need to purchase a bluetooth dongle. They are relatively cheap as I have seen them from $2 on up. Next you would want to follow the following link as it has full instructions how to set it up as well as many other users that will be able to help answer your questions.

My iPod cannot work with Windows Vista

I've updated iTunes to version 7.1.1.
But my computer is hung up when I connected my iPod to it. I can do nothing except restart the computer and disconnect iPod from it.
Can anyone tell me why?
HP v7058hk Other OS OS is Widows Vista Home Premium

Hi David!
Are you getting a blue screen of any sort when the computer locks up?
If so, please quote what it says (if a file is mentioned in the BSOD, quote what that says, too).
If you are only getting a flash of a blue screen, or you aren't getting anything, you can switch your settings here, and see if you can make a hidden blue screen show:
1 - Go to "My Computer" in a Windows Explorer window.
2 - Right-click on "My Computer", and click on Properties.
3 - Go to the "Advanced" tab, click on "Settings" under the "Startup and recovery" section.
4 - Verify that "Automatically restart" is not selected.
As a general troubleshooting step, let's try a full reinstall of iTunes on your computer.
Disconnect your iPod from your computer.
Go to "Add or Remove programs" in Control Panel. Find "iTunes" and "QuickTime" on this list, and remove them both.
Then, download the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, to clear out the remaining iTunes and QuickTime installation files off your computer (see this MS document for information on it):
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Also, use this article to manually remove the left over files from installation:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
After you've done that, restart your computer.
Then, go to this page to install the iTunes + QuickTime installation pack onto your computer again:
Download iTunes - 7.1.1.5
Now, restart your computer once more.
After the computer has fully loaded up, open iTunes, and connect your iPod to your computer.
Try automatically syncing it with iTunes again, and see if it works or not.

IPhone cannot sync with Windows 7

Hi, I am unable to sync my iPhone (OS 4.3.3) can't be paired with my laptop (Windows 7). I have reinstalled my iTunes and restart my laptop but it still did not work. My power button is not working hence I am unable to restart my iPhone. Does any one know how to solve this? I can't click restore to factory setting as my files are not backed up.
The error message that I received is as such:
iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore the iPhone to factory setting.
Thanks alot!!

Sorry-that was rubbish. the Iphine shows up as a device and also charges but when I open Itunes the option to sync is greyed out and when I use the diagnostic tool it says no device found. I have upgraded to the latest Itunes but still no joy.
Thanks

Palm Z22 and sync with Windows Vista 64-bit system

I have been trying to sync my Palm Z22 with a new laptop that is running the 64-bit Vista. Based on some posts I had located, I ordered an IrDA Wireless Bridge to try to resolve the connection problem. Something isn't working right and I can't figure out how to fix the problem. The IrDA adapter is listing in the hardware option on the computer so it appears to have installed correctly. The laptop has inconsistently recognized the USB connection when I plug it in however. I can not seem to get the IrDA adapter to recognize my Z22. I've got the Z22 set up to use the infrared to transfer information. I have noted that the "beam" feature is ON. I have looked at APPS and have observed that most of those options are "locked" and when I have clicked on "contacts" for example, it says it's a locked app and can not be beamed. I don't know if that is part of the problem or unrelated. I also happened to observe that the Apps are listed as what to transfer with MODEM connection but I'm not sure why that is even showing as a connection option since I've never used the modem to connect.
I can successfully use my Z22 to connect via USB cable to my Vista 32-bit computer system. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in my attempts to use the adapter and connecting the Z22 with the new laptop.
I'm not sure what else to do and would very much appreciate some help with this. Could someone PLEASE tell me what I may be doing wrong re: the setup connection between the adapter and Z22 or any other ideas re: what the problem may be concerning why I'm not yet being successful in getting this setup to work...?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance with this problem.
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Sorry for the delay in replying (bet you were hoping this worked, huh?) but it has taken some time to uninstall & reinstall the Palm software and make numerous attempts to configure the information to again try to sync the Z22 with the laptop. I went back to amazon.com and located the device I'd purchased to confirm it would work with the 64-bit Vista. Someone had posted their success in using the adapter for exactly what I need to do - sync my Z22 with a 64-bit Vista computer. That consumer's posting noted: "The USB 1510 provided the solution. As soon as I plugged it into the USB port of the laptop, Vista went online, found the driver, and installed it. I was able to set up IR Hotsync as I would have on any laptop with a built-in IRDA port."
I don't know what problem I'm having but have noted that my palm desktop software doesn't note what device (Z22) is to be connected and I can't find anything in the HotSync manager that allows me to specify that device. For some reason, I had gotten an error message and it referenced a Treo connection which is odd since I don't have a Treo and I downloaded this Palm desktop from the Z22 site online...? I did note my software on my Z22 is a v. 5 but when I checked various support sites online, it appears to indicate that version on my Z22 would be compatible with the Palm 6.2 version I just downloaded to my computer (and I can't find any information to indicate a newer software for my Z22 is available or how to do that either).
So, I'm back to not being able to get my Z22 to be recognized by my computer via the infrared adapter. I'm hoping that some of the added information I've been able to provide may give another clue of something else I can try before I have to give up and contact Amazon to return this device and either try to decide what other device may be an option. I had checked with a local computer supply store here but they don't carry any type of device for this purpose so that's why I resorted to searching online for a solution to this problem.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may still be able to provide. I really do appreciate your time with this matter.
