Centro to palm desktop -- won't sync calendar, freezes up

My subject line pretty much says it all.  Been syncing just fine until today the calendar won't sync.  Initially it wouldn't sync and the log said my calendar or my computer was full, so it wouldn't sync.  Now, it just freezes up on trying to sync date book & calendar.  Using desktop 6.2.2.  Everything else syncs ok if I set the calendar to "do nothing".  the desktop search for errors returns no corrupted files.  Can't see anything blatantly wrong with the calendar on my centro.  Earlier today, a group of appts disappeared from the phone (before I attempted to sync and failed).  After failed sync, those entries were back, all in duplicate.  I went back and deleted the duplicates (leaving just 1 entry for each) on the phone, but it still won't sync.  There are no duplicates on desktop, that I can tell.
So, now what do I do????

I had this same issue. I spent about 2 hrs on phone today with palm support. Here is the upshot: there were corrupted records(calender events) on the centro that I had to find and delete. For exampe I would have an event 4-5 years ago that would just have "uuu1" or some similar nonsense. What Palm had me do was go to a third party website and download a trial version of an application called dbfixit. www.pimlicosoftware.com. the software would detect the problem but the free trial version would not fix it so I had to go to each corrupted event and delete it myself.  I do not think my support person realized that the freeware version cld not autofix the problem. So there was a little confusion there.. but eventually I got everything fixed and hotsynched (relief) I hope this helps you,
John

  • Palm Centro Verizon, Palm Desktop 4.1.4, Calendar WILL NOT SYNC

    as above.  I tried to install the V6.2 desktop that came with the phone; the Hotsync crashes every time it starts (some HS20Log.dll problem), so I installed 4.1.4.
    The calendar will not sync.  It hangs forever and ever.  Everything else syncs just fine.
    I brought my trusty M515 home, synced it with the home computer, then synced the Centro to get the data.  It synced ONCE (the calendar) and never again.
    I reformatted the disk and reinstalled the OS (XP SP3), got the same V6.2 hotsync problem and reverted to 4.1.4, and that's where I am now.
    Help.
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Glad you got things to sync, just a quick thought.
    4.1.4 is a rather old version of Palm Desktop.  I would have suggested you try 4.1.4E, as it was designed for later devices and has some updated USB drivers in it...

    Has this ever been resolved?  It looks like it's 5 months old and I don't see any replies.  I saw this and immediately thought of the DEP(Data Execution Protection) feature that is a characteristic of Windows Vista.  If you go to your control panel,to system, to advanced system settings, and then click the settings button in the performance section, the DEP is the third thumnail to the right(should be the last one there).  This is where you can turn it on or off and add programs for it to ignore.
    However, usually when it's the DEP that kills a program unexpectedly, the operating system has usually made it known to the user that it was the DEP.

  • ATT 680 won't sync calendar entries to server

    I am using Active Sync to access my e-mail, etc. It syncs everything from server to phone without difficulty. It won't sync calendar or contacts from phone to server (and there is no error message). I think I understand that it can't sync contacts, but should sync calendar. I have seen several postings about this in this forum, but the answers seem to relate to different phones or different carriers. I have the latest update for ATT 680 users which included an EAS update. My versamail is v. 3.5.5
    Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

    You may want to check with your IT professional(s) to see if you can sync Calendar to the server. The reason being is because some servers restrict things or users from doing certain things. The defaults, unless changed, are setup to sync calendar and contacts usually.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iCloud cannot sync with Google calendars, so it would seem that you may be using the wrong calendar account. Click on the calendar button in the top right hand corner of the calendar app and check which calendar you are adding your events too.

  • Palm Desktop by Access 6.2.2: Palm IIIxe won't sync to WinXP but Zire Z22 will

    No device
    Palm IIIxe with OS 3.5.3 and Z22 with OS Garnet 5.4.9 and Palm Desktop by Access 6.2.2 on a WinXP SP2 box. Z22 appears to sync correctly and the IIIxe SAYS it's syncing but the Palm desktop account is blank.
    I think I need to roll back to an earlier version of Palm desktop, e.g. 4.14. If so, can I first uninstall 6.2.2?
    The Palm support website says, "Do not un-install previous versions of Palm Desktop. If you have an existing version of Palm Desktop on your computer, leave it as-is, and install this version on top of it."
    Thanks for any help.
    John

     Your Palm IIIxe wont show the pims because hotsync 6.2.2 only allows the newer pim format. There is a free addon application from Pimlico called PalmHotsyncSetup that may allow you to sync with it.  PalmHotsyncSetup

    Hi, 
    I've been trying to hotsync my palm to Mac laptop for a few hours everyday for  5 days now - I've visited all the forums, bought a new laptop (this was incidental rather than caused by the palm problem)
    ...At first I got the "transport monitor" missing error - I followed support forums' suggestions.  It didn't work.  Hotsync would not happen; and neither would palm desktop open.  i don't use any other programs to sync (not isync, not outlook, etc) Only ever use Palm for like 10 years now.
    This problem persisted in both my 3-yr old mac and the brand new mac-
    I also tried installing pam desktop  from the online palm support site.
    I've since re-installed palm desktop a few times and handheld says "hotsync operation complete" However, Palm Desktop will not open and I get this error -- "file is busy"  
    Please please help - I've recently decided to allow my palm to rule my life again (we do international events and we're bringing in Australia's #1dj in a few weeks) --I'm desperate for a solution - 
    Thank you!!

  • HELP- PALM TX won't synch calendar

    Palm TX on bluetooth synch gets stuck every time in synching Calendar/datebook. Won't cancel just runs on and on. I have to close it on the laptop using task manager (Vista).
    Any help would be appreciated
    Post relates to: Tungsten T

    There may be database corruption causing the issue. Click on the following link for the program called DbFixiT. This program has a trial version that you can download and install on your Palm OS device. The trial version will scan for database corruption and then report the corruption. You can then find the records causing the problem and fix them yourself or you can purchase the program and have it automatically fix the records.
    http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm
    To install the program, set all conduits to "do nothing" except quick install or install if using Palm desktop 6.2.
    After you install the program on the handheld, run the scan and also scan for Blobs in the calendar.
    After you clean-up the database on the handheld, set the conduits in hotsync to handheld overwrites desktop and perform a hotsync.
    If you are sync'ing to a 64bit OS, there are 64bit USB drivers avail from Acceca. Go to the Windows hotsync section of the forums and look for the sticky thread with the link to the drivers.
    Once you have the data corrected and are sync'ing all your data, I would suggest you export your data for disaster recovery.
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a separate 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://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb2/common/article/28734_en.html
    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.
    For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.hpwebos.com webpage.

  • Hotsync palm tx- won't sync at all

    I'm trying to sync my Palm Tx and when i push the button on the USB cord, it initiates the sync, but then it almost looks like it's 're-powering' and take me to the time setting. It won't sync at all. Can anyone help me?
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    If it's taking you to the "time setting", it's doing a "Reset" by itself.  This is not a good thing, as you've figured out already.
    As with most problems that occur on a Palm PDA, it is either software or hardware related and we have to determine which one.
    Best method is to first make a complete backup of your unit to your SD card using the free "NVBackup" (available from http://www.freewarepalm.com) After the backup is complete, Hard Reset the unit, then test to see if full functionality returns.  (Since you can't HotSync, this will only apply to you if you have the program installed already!)
    To perform a Hard Reset:
    While pressing and holding the Power button down, tap and release the Reset button in back and continue to hold the Power button down. When the grey Palm logo appears, you can release the Power button.
    You should now see the warning page in about 5 languages. Press the UP direction on the 5-way pad to complete the task. Your Palm will reset itself several times as it re-installs the original programs and erases all your previous data.
    DO NOT HOTSYNC YET! Test the unit before reinstalling any software. If the unit works correctly, your problem is being caused by a "drug interaction" of software - maybe one rogue program, or a combination of several. You'll have to reinstall the third-party programs one or a few at a time to find the problem one. To avoid re-installing a software issue, rename your /Backup directory in your Palm folder (on a PC it's found here: C/Program Files/Palm(One)/"your HotSync ID name truncated"/Backup) to something like "/BackupOLD". Now perform the HotSync, choose your HotSync name you've been using, and all your PIM data will return, but not the third-party programs. Test for functionality again. If all is good, start installing the old programs from your /BackupOLD directory one (or a few if brave) at a time.
    If the unit does not work after a Hard Reset is performed correctly, then it may be Hardware-related. (If it's a connection problem via either BlueTooth or Wifi, be sure nothing has changed on the unit you're trying to connect to!)
    Hope this has helped,
    Wyrenut

  • Palm TX won't sync HELP!

    I have tried everything to try and get this to sync with Outlook 2007 but it keeps getting hung up.  I have contact Live Chat several times.  They had hard reset, download Outlook 2007 conduit, install new software, in the Hotsync Manager, I have told it not to sync the Back up since it seems to get stuck there, but still won't sync.
    Does anyone else have any suggestions?  I have the Palm TX, My computer has XP Pro, I am using USB to connect.  I installed HotSync Manager 7.0.2 and I have Palm Desktop 6.2.2.
    Please Help!  This is very frustrating.  Thanks

    Post relates to: Palm TX

    You should be using the Palm Desktop/Hotsync that came on the TX install CD. The newer versions from Access Company of Japan are designed for Vista only and have less features (and more problems) than what is on your CD.
    I don't (won't) use Vista and have no experience with installing or uninstalling the Access Desktop. I understand that there is a new file format so it may not be possible to go back.
    Get NVBackup and do a complete backup of your TX. Then remove all vestiges of the Access stuff and reinstall Palm Desktop from the CD. Have the PIM data overwrite Desktop on the first sync.
    Good  luck.

  • Intellisync data files, i.e., .dba transfer to Centro's Palm desktop...

    Hi, I recently purchased a Centro through AT&T. I installed the desktop sync program but it didn't find my old Intellisync data files: .dba, etc. These were from Intellisync for my old Palm IIIc. I know where the data files are but I need to know how to export (?) transfer (?) them to the new program. Anyone have any ideas?
    btw, I have Windows XP.
    Thank you!
    Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

    The current Palm Desktops use either .dat or .mdb files to store the data. If you open the palm desktop and go to file, then import, you should be able to import any Palm compatible files into the new desktop.

    Hello geocostello and thanks for posting on the forums....
    You can re-install the 4.2 desktop that came with your centro via the CD.  (if you still have it...)  If not, you can go to the palm.com and do a search for Desktop Manager 4.2 and download it, then install it.  This should not affect your data.  Before doing this, try going into the Add/Remove Programs and un-installing the desktop manager from there.  Then re-install the software.  Again, This should not affect your data.
    If the software does not un-install from Add/remove Programs, you can go to microsoft and download the Microsoft Un-install Utility.  This should remove the software and registry entries and allow you to re-install the Desktop manager 4.2
    Let us know what happens....
    Thanks,
    Cola
