Centro HotSync with Palm V6.2.2 Locks up at DATE BOOK - no calendar records on Palm Desk Top

First let me say that I hate the new version 6.2.2 Palm Desktop and the ongoing problems I have doing a hotsync. Today, I had to restart my computer as I "uninstalled" a non related program from my computer. When I restarted my computer and opened my Palm Desktop, all the calendar data was gone. Since my Centro was recently hotsync'd, I hooked it up and tried to perform a sync. The device and the desktop "locked up" at the DATE BOOK function. I found another Forum post where a tech support individual said to "download Pimlico DbFixit Trial version" which I did and ran. It indicated a problem as: Calendar DB-PDat: Both Description and Note are blank - usually a corrupted record. Rec=1508 Date= 1/11/09. I also went into the Palm Desktop and in the "Applications" section found "DATE BOOK" and UN CHECKED it. Running a hotsync again allowed me to update everything EXCEPT the calendar.
HOW DO I FIX THIS AND GET THE CALENDAR BACK ON MY DESK TOP?

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Find the calendar events that Dbfixit found and delete them. Or buy the paid version and it should repair them. Also try hitting the menu button while in Dbfixit (bottom right hand button) Then clicking on Delete/remove all Calendar blobs.

Centro hotsync with Outlook creates multiple folders in Notes

Greetings,
This is my first post and I need help!
I just got a Sprint Centro two weeks ago and hotsync with Outlook. Every time I hotsync, the process creates multiple empty 'Notes' folders named after the sync profile. (You may know that in Outlook they are called Notes and in the Palm OS they are called Memos.) The notes I have are actually synced fine. However, extra four or five empty folders are created as well. Therefore, potentially I could have hundreds of them after a dozen or so syncs.
- I am using Palm Desktop 6.2
- I used a Tungsten E2 before and all was OK
- I have XP Pro
- The Palm phone support suggested a hard reset and a new sync profile. Same problem.
- Support also suggested a new Outlook profile. Don't want to do that as I can't afford to lose any data and settings! Besides, their suggestion did not work and left me with a lot of work restoring data to phone.
There has to be a solution other than giving the Centro up for a BB. I would appreciate any help. I must say the Palm phone support has been atrocious!
Thank you.

I don't know what causes this issue but I know how to solve it - ot at least work around it.
First of all you need to backup the existing data that you have within Outlook Contacts etc. You can do this easily by creating a subfolder under Contacts (e.g. called Backup) and just MOVING everything from the parent folder into the backup folder.
Then do another sync with the mobile and see what items pop up in Contacts. From here make sure you EDIT that contact with the additional data and save it. Once you do this, you won't get duplicates.
For some reason the Synchronise app will "key" to a particular user "record" (to use database parlance) leaving the original Outlook contact alone (if it's any consolation it happens on Blackberries too) - and this is the only way I know of which fixes it without buying 3rd party applications.
Hope this helps.

HT1661 I have a mini mac osx lion, I have an external hard drive with my files from my pc that crashed. my mini mac is now running parallels desk top 7 and windows 8 consumers preview. can I simply plug in the extral hard drive to upload my files or ?

how should I upload my pc saved files to my macmini with paralle desk top 7 running windows 8 consumer preview

Worst... Win 8
2nd worst Mountain Lion/10.8.x
3rd worst Lion 10.7.x
4th worst Windows ME.
5th worst, geez, I'm not sure!
As far as Windows goes, I think more things have gone backwards since XP, W7 improving on Vista, but...
As far as OSX goes, more steps backwards than forwards since Tiger/10.4.11
Even Linux is going backwards now... & it wasn't always that easy to start with, it's outdone it's usefullness trying to incorporate the worst features of Windows &
OSX!
I totally agree on the Backup thing, but which exact 3 TB are you thinking of, many are worthless & unreliable???
And BTW, I think Time Machine is the worst backup solution ever invented, but if you have trouble using a TV Remote, it's better than a swift kick in the pants!

When I try to HotSync with my PC it asks for a password, I don't remember setting my palm with a password, how do I find out what the password is?

Thank you.
Post relates to: Tungsten E

It would be best if you could guess what password you might have set on the palmpilot. If you can't, then (on my PalmOS 5.2.1 PDA) I can tap "security" on the home screen, then tap the "Assigned" box, & finally do the "Delete a password" procedure. You will lose whatever data is password protected.
Good luck

Cannot even START HotSync with Vista

Hello, I hope somebody can help me here...
I've bought a Palm Pre Plus a few days ago and since tried to synchronise it with my laptop.
I installed the newest Palm Desktop software and connected the phone via USB.
After installing everything I get a window asking me to connect the phone and press a "HotSync button" of some sort... but there is no press-able button on either the phone or the cable that works.
When I connect the phone it asks whether I want to just charge the phone or use the USB connection. If I choose the latter I can drag-n-drop stuff onto the phone (wallpapers & ringtones) but that's it.
Does anybody know what I should do? I have no idea what I did wrong or forgot to do...
Thank you very much!!
Post relates to: Pre Plus p100ueu (02)

With the Palm Pre, it does not "hotsync" like the previous Palm devices did. There is no native desktop sync. option.
With the PRE, you sync your data to an on-line service like the Palm profile, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, etc. With the Palm Profile, you only have access to the data on the device. There is no option to view the profile data on a PC.
There is a tool that Palm offers that will transfer your current data that is in Outlook or Palm desktop to the PRE and an on-line service. The tool is the Data Transfer Assistant. Go to Palm.com/dta to get the tool.
If you want to sync to Palm desktop or Outlook on your PC, you will need to use a 3rd party solution like Companion Link or the Chapura products Pocket Mirror for Outlook or Echo for Palm Desktop.

Palm Centro Hotsync Bluetooth inconsistent connections

Ok, I am having problems consistently syncing using the bluetooth pairing, but I cannot tell what is changing between syncs. It took a LOT of time to get my sync to work when I first got my phone, but finally it worked after I included the subnet mask on the PC Connection on my Centro. Since then I have had inconsistent success with hotsyncing with the bluetooth option. The last sync with the bluetooth was sometime at the beginning of December. Since then I have gotten a bluetooth headset and a panasonic link to cell device that allows me to use a phone with my land line and my bluetooth phones. I've tried turning off these devices too to re-establish the syncing - no luck.
I have gone through and re-established my connections. The pc has been re-added to my phone as a trusted device, and I am successfully linking to the virtual serial port because the notification sound goes off, but the sync itself doesn't occur.
I've tried the trouble shooting links from other posts and looked up this stuff on palm.com and my documentation but the information is scant at best. Any thoughts? I really don't like the idea of reverting to the cable although I am using that right now. My husband thinks I've wasted enough time trying to get this to work but I am stubborn and I really prefer bluetooth.
thanks
Denise

Did you check bluetooth under connections in Hotsync Manager on the PC? Right click the hotsync icon and goto settings, then connections. Is bluetooth there and checked? If not do so.
Next delete the bluetooth connection on the device and try to recreate it. You shouldn't need to create the virtual port on a vista system. That step was for older versions of windows that didn't do that automaticaly.

In windows 7 I can hotsync with Desktop 6.2 but I cannot change mail hotsync to Outlook instead of Palm Desktop

Can anyone help me?
I have a new computer with windows 7 (64bit).
My Palm device is a Tungsten T5
I tried first to install Palm Desktop from the CD (to be able to switch to outlook sync). But this version will not install.
Then I installed Palm Desktop 6.2 and I am able to Hotsync (via bluetooth) between Palm desktop and my Tungsten.
For Mail, Calendar etc I want to Hotsync with Outlook. But I cannot get that working. Tried to install outlookconduiter, but doesnot work.
Probably I need some code which normally will be installed from the CD. But that installation will not work.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thank you in advance
Chris
Post relates to: Tungsten T5

Hello Alan,
Thank you for replying my message.
But I think I did not explain my problem good enough.
I will try to be more explicit:
I know that I don't need to install an outlook conduit. And I already am able to hotsync with contacts, tasks, etc. Only e-mail will not hotsync. The log says ok at versamail entry, but I did not find new mailmessages on my Palm handheld.
In my Tungsten I have setup an e-mail (veersamail) account.
On my old PC under XP I did setup (long ago) a versmail account seperatedly. When I tried to do the same under Windows 7 an error says: you must first install a Versamail conduit before you can setup a versamail account (on my PC)
But my versamail conduit is on the CD I got when I purchased my Tungsten T5. But installing from this CD is not possible under windows 7 (it hangs). When I identified I therefore installed Palm desktop 6.2, which does not include the Versamail conduit.
I did inspect the original CD but I cannot find anything of versamail. It is included in carrierfiles, I think. But I don't know how to extract and how to find the files I need for the versamail conduit.
What can I do?
Only buy a new Versamail conduit??
Or do you know other ways to get the versamail hotsync working?
Regards,
Chris Beumer

Palm m100 HotSync with Outlook 2007

I have a Palm m100 which I routinely HotSynced with an old Windows ME computer. That computer died, and I now have a Windows 7 machine with Outlook 2007. What software should I load on my new PC in order to retrieve my Contacts from the Palm m100 and copy the Contacts into Outlook 2007?
Post relates to: Palm m100

Unfortunately what you are asking for is something that we do not support. As a suggestion on how this might be accomplished you would need to install Palm Desktop 6.2. Normally that may be enough. Also we have not done testing on windows 7 to know if Palm Desktop will work on it reliably.
It also might be time for you to upgrade your device to push the chances up of this working correctly. Palm Desktop 6.2 was not designed to work with the m100 while the TX and Tungsten E2 where. Some older device may work due to other customers on this site stating they have it working for them.

Palm v won't hotsync with mac OS X 10.5.4

i have a palm v and have it connected to my mac. I have it connected using a usb to serial converter. I have not been able to do a hotsync yet,
when i try to i get the error "the connection between your hand held computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your set up and try again."
I have changed the usb/serial converter and installed the mac. drivers but still no go. anyone have any ideas?
Post relates to: Palm V
Post relates to: Palm V

When you installed Palm Desktop and sync'ed for the first time, it should have asked you if you wanted to create a new username or use an existing name. You should have used the existing name that is on the Handheld.
When you create a new user in Palm Desktop and it is not the same name that is on the handheld, then Palm Desktop does not have a reference name to sync with.
Go into hotsync on the device and look in the upper right corner and it will show you the hotsync username of the device. Create a username in Palm desktop that is the same name and sync to that username in palm desktop.
Click on the link below for the support page for your device. On that page is a link for hotsync troubleshooting for the Mac. There is also a link for the Mac desktop handbook.

Vista & Outlook 2007 with Tungsten E2 - Hotsync only syncs to Palm Desk top not Outlook

I have a Tungsten E2 for a few years and sync it with no problem on my home computer with Windows and the Palm Desk top.
I just started a new job where we have Visa & Outlook 2007 and would like to keep both systems in sync with my Palm. I downloaded and installed the new version of Palm Desktop 6.2 and the Outlook 2007 Update at work. The downloads went fine. I selected Outlook as my tool of choice. When I did the sync - everything was updated on the Palm Desk top not in Outlook. I tried to remove & reinstall the software but it refuses to recognize Outlook as being my desktop software. I get no errors. Any suggestions?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

The 6.2 version has the Outlook 2007 conduits included, you do not need to install the patch for Outlook 2007.
If the data is sync'ing with Palm Desktop but not Outlook you will need to change the conduits to sync with Outlook.
Go to start-programs-palm and look for PIM conduit switcher and change to Outlook.

Palm HotSync with Leopard

Since I installed Leopard I have been unable to sync my Treo 700p. I receive message "Transport Monitor could not complete request (16)". I've reinstalled Palm Desktop several times. Never had a problem before Leopard. Is any one else having this problem? Any suggestions?

A coworker of mine was having problems syncing with her MacBook Pro and we had to do a total uninstall of the Palm software and then we reinstalled it which did the trick. These are the directions I followed:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/25873-36-hotlib-transport-monitor-problem-palm -desktop
For the step where it mentions the files found in /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ByHost/
I actually deleted everything that had "palm" in it.
I have to say that this was under Tiger, so I'm not sure if this uninstall and then reinstall technique will work with Leopard.

Hotsync with windows XP Home

My Tungsten E2 has stopped hotsyncing with my windows XP computer. It worked fine for several months and now I get the message "The connection between you device and the desktop could not be established. Pelease check your setup and try again." I have two hotsync cables and have tried both. I have tried a soft reset and that did not solve the problem. I have also tried two different computers and it doesn't work with either, though it used to.

Outlook hotsync with Desktop

I am having a problem getting my Palm TX to hotsync with my P.C. The process goes well until it gets to the calendar. At that pint it stops.
JAG
Post relates to: Palm TX

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums.. If hotsync is stuck at calendar or date book then most likely there is some corruption with the calendar data. Go into the conduits and set the calendar conduit to do nothing and sync. If all syncs fine it confirms that that it your problem. Then go to http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm and download dbfixit. This is a utility that will verify data problems, with the free version you will have to fix the problems it finds manually. If you spend the $12.95 for the registration it will also fix the problems. Download it and install it, with the calendar conduit still set to do nothing, to your TX then run it and fix the problems. Then turn on the calendar conduit and sync. Hopefully that will fix your problem.

TX hotsync with Vista, Hot Sync 7.0 hangs when updating date book

Hotsync of my Palm TX, with hotsync 7.0, Windows Vista is failing. Hangs on date book, step 2 of 13. Have to kill task with task manager to recover.
Worked a few times after initial install.
Log says did not transfer all data items to desktop. Suggests increasing the limit??
Don't see a way to increase the limit on data items.
Any suggestions?
Post relates to: Palm TX

Go over to www.pimlicosoftware.com and get dbfixit, run it and see if it finds any corruption. If it does you can either manually fix them for free or purchase the program and have it fix it for you. Then try to sync again.

Palm Desk Top 4.2.1 on Mac to be Compatible with Windows XP

At work I am using a Mac with Palm Desk Top 4.2.1 for creating a data base for customers. At home I have a PC with Windows XP. I want to be able to work from home to enter information but I am not sure what download version I should use that will be compatible with my computer. I am just new to Mac computers at work, so everything is new to me. Would appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you for your information on loading software for my Palm Desktop 4.2.1 to my PC using Windows XP. I was able to get it loaded but I am not able to create an address book to work with our names data base. I can get Contacts but that is it. I read the manual you had sent the link to as well, but it did not give me the information I needed. I did print up instructions from our Mac but what I downloaded is not the same. If you have any other suggestions I would love to hear them.
Thank you,
Are you using a Palm device, or just the software?
If using the device, when you do a Hotsync to the PC, all data should transfer to Palm Desktop.
"Contacts" is the newer name for the "Address Book", so I'm not quite sure what you mean by not being able to create one...?
