Centro desktop won't install over earlier palm desktop and can't un-install old version

The Centro CD won't install the Centro Access Palm desktop
desktop - it stops and says I must de-install existing Palm desktop as it won't upgrade the earlier version.
Trouble is, I can't de-install Sony palm desktop. It is in c:\program
files but doesn't appear in control panel / add remove prgrams; didn't
allow revo to de-install it.
I tried just plugging in the Centro but windows could find usb drivers
(presumably)
So i'm a bit stuck. HELP!

This question was solved.
View Solution.

That was the next step.
I just needed to know what the OS of the PC was and the version of Palm desktop so I could tell you where to look for the correct folders.
Here is some more info. for you.
Click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.
http://www.palm.com/us/support/centro/centro_gsm/
There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc. 
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

    Hello anyone with Windows 7, not sure why having followed instructions above, install of latest version of itunes won't work and can no longer open old version either.  anyone help with this?

    Hi,
    thanks for your reply.
    Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
    I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
    Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
    \\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working.

    iTunes is not installing because its incompatible with your OS. When installing the correct version the new version will update the older version, there is no need to uninstall first.
    The last version of  iTunes compatible with OSX 10.4 is iTunes 9.2.1
    You can down load iTunes 9.2.1 here:

  • My macbook pro early 2012 won't install release version of yosemite after being in the beta test

    my macbook pro early 2012 won't install release version of yosemite after being in the beta test, anyone else having any issues with this?

    Received an email from apple saying thank you for being in the beta test and they tell you to download the release version from the mac app store and install it. Done this twice and it says installed successfully after rebooting twice and doing the usual install of a new OS. However when it boots up and opens your desktop it still has the Feedback assistant installed and continuity and all the new features do not work at all. Making me assume that the final release has not installed at all. Spoke to apple on the Phone and they Don't know how to solve it. Except for doing a fresh OS Install. Which i would rather not do, but might have too. currently backing up my Mac as we spec to do it

  • I just bought a new desktop and will be taking my old one to the apple store tomorrow to have the data transferred. Does the transfer include the transfer of programs or just data?

    They will simply use Migration Assistant to transfer your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. This is something you could do yourself. You would need a Firewire cable to connect between your old computer and your new one. Migration Assistant is installed in the Utilities folder of your new computer.

    What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either? I can simply unplug it from my pc and after a while it runs down and works fine after a charge. Wanting to clear data and sell but nothing seems to work. The ipod was originally set up on a different computer and with a different I tunes account as well. Would that make any difference?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Install errors with many 2014 apps and can we safely uninstall previous versions post-installation of the new releases?

    I'm getting errors for several CC 2014 applications. The CC desktop says "Installation Failed", and yet some have actually been installed despite the failed message.
    I also want to know if we can/should uninstall the old versions (CC and CC 64-bit) before (or after?) updating, because rather than upgrading the applications (which would have been nice), it just installs alongside them....so now I have 3 versions of Illustrator, 3 versions of PS, etc. I don't want all these versions, only the latest. Is it safe to uninstall the older versions (CC and CC 64) post-failed-installation of 2014, or should I just uninstall all and reinstall?
    Thanks in advance.

    Well, after some thought, I did a 'safe boot', did a disk verify and repair in Disk Utility, repaired permissions in DU and had the same problem I'd mentioned in post.
    SO, I went back in (safe boot.........that is, hold down start button, then 'shift') and went to applications and removed or uninstalled any apps that I thought might be interferring with the re-boot or, specifically, with my being unable to sign in with my p/w.........(at the first key stroke, it would crash and give the 'error' message)....I had both Webroot and Dashlane installed that I thought could interfere with password recognition (Webroot protects from viruses, et all and Dashlane is a password codifying appl.) I took out whatever else I thought might not be friendly and, guess what ?? When I signed out of 'safe' mode, and rebooted normally, it worked.........and has been working properly for 3-4 hrs now, so guess it's good-to-go..........seems like it...........hope this helps anyone with the same problem I'd had...........no need to visit "genius bar" some 55 miles from here............guess us mid-seventies guys ain't too old for learnin'...........G'Day, Mates !!

  • I have a Olympus C-3000 and it won't read in the new iphoto.  It reads in my old version on my older computer.  Is there a driver I need or something else?

    I have a Olympus C-3000 and it won't read in the new iphoto.  It reads in my old version on my older computer.  Is there a driver I need or something else?

    Yes, different computers, different OS's, as stated, does not work on any machine except PPC.
    Nothing in console logs.  Does not show up in USB under system profiler.
    Level 1 tech support.  "May be this" or "may be that", but all a waste of time unless someone has the actual camera and can independently verify my results.
    If it were just a matter of it happening on one machine that would be one thing.  The fact that it only does not work on Intel based machines (and thus Snow Leopard and Lion) it is a pretty good indicator that something is missing in the OS.

  • Got to end of trial period for Adobe reader XI and cannot revert back to old version or install another version b/c it says I have a newer more functional version, so now I've got no reader at all and cannot fix. Any ideas how to overcome this?.

    YOu need to be clear about the products you are using, so we can help you. In particular there is no trial of Adobe Reader, it is free and keeps running. Sounds like you are using some versions of Acrobat - which?
    YOu must properly uninstall the trial, don't just delete files or you may get a mess impossible to recover.

    I have a FreeAgent GoFlex backup drive (for Mac) after a while the icon disappears from the desktop and can only be restored by reconnecting the firewire. This also happens when I use the USB connection as well. Thanks

    Did you use any of the "sleep" drivers supplied? I have found it best to just totally reformat/erase the drives and let the OS handle them.
