Decktop 6.2, HotSync not see Bluetooth as Connections option, Vista 64-bit

I got a new Dell Studio XPS with Vista Home Premium 64-bit and discovered that I could not perform a USB sync with my Treo 755p (Verizon). Since bluetooth sync was recommended, I purchased an IOGear Bluetooth 2.0 USB Micro Adapter (GBU421) and allowed Windows to discover the device. When prompted by Windows to insert the disk to install the driver, I went to the IOGear website and downloaded the most recent software (WIDCOMM bluetooth software version 5.5.0.4400 released 03/11/09 for Windows XP & Vista, 32 & 64-bit). Prior to installing this software, I had done a "clean" uninstall of all Palm files as directed in these forums and did a restart of the computer. I installed the bluetooth software & configured it to be "discoverable" and did another restart. Finally, I downloaded Palm Desktop 6.2, installed it and restarted the computer again. However, HotSync Manager does not see Bluetooth as one of the Connection options. My Treo 755p does "see" the computer when configuring bluetooth. Is there any hope that I may be able to sync this computer with my 755p or am I forced to look for a different smartphone? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

bonz1973: It worked! I am so relieved & happy after so many hours of frustration. I want to thank you so much for your reference to messages #353 & #354 on "Vista 64 Hotsync solution found!" I want to share some of my experience that may help someone else. My comments are in [ ] and take off of those from edwardek.
1. Installed Palm v4.2 [I found that I did not need to do this]
2. Installed Palm v6.2
3. Installed Palm Outlook 2007 [ didn't do this part either since I use Outlook 2003]
4. Installed Bluetooth apps
5. Inserted the ... dongle in the USB port #6
[edwardek claims that he needed to use USB port #6 but my computer does not have a USB port #6. Instead it divides the many USB ports into Hubs. What' more important is that some software sets up the Bluetooth to transmit on a COM port. Mine was COM3. To see how your adapter software installed your Bluetooth devise, check the Device Manager in the Control Panel. It does list "Bluetooth Devices" where you can find the Device, right click, choose Properties, and see which USB port the Bluetooth adapter is in. However Device Manager also listed my Bluetooth under "Network adapters" and "Ports (COM & LPT)" which is important because I had to configure HotSync using Serical port COM3. I think it depends on the Bluetooth software you get.]
6. In your PC tray (at the bottom of your PC display), Right Click Hotsync Manager and select "Settings" [Yes, you need to configure your computer's HotSync method.]
7. Wait a long time (2 minutes) and the Hotsynch Manager window will be displayed. In that window click "Connection" and when the window opens click "USB" (a checkmark will then appear), then click COM (a checkmark will appear), under this you'll see a pick list drop-down menu showing all the ports. Select COM6.
[I didn't have to wait at all for HotSync to display. Yes, check both USB and Serial connections and at this point a dialog box showed the Serial connection was COM3, matching what was in Device Manager. I suspect that some software actually creates a Bluetooth option that shows up in the Connections list like the instructions from PALM specify. My software didn't set up the Bluetooth device is this way and so I was totally frustrated by not finding Bluetooth on the Connections list.]
8. Next set up your Bluetooth application and make sure it is paired with your Treo (I'm assuming everyone knows how to do this but in essence you make sure the Bluetooth application sees your Treo (your name) and that your Treo sees your PC (the PC name). [Before this step you have to configure your Treo so Bluetooth is ON and VISIBLE and you can see your computer as a Device. I had a shortcut to my Bluetooth software in the PC Tray beside the HotSync icon. Once I had the Connections set for USB and Serial in step 7 and the Treo set up to be Visible, the computer saw my Treo using the name I had given the Treo.]
9. From your Treo start the HotSynch, then on your Bluetooth application (Bluesoleil) right click on the Treo device and select connect. You should then see that the 2 devices are connected and the exchange begins. [Yes, start the HotSynch from your Treo.]
It worked for me and hope this helps you sync your Treo and your Vista 64-bit. Thanks for everyone's input and help.

Macbook does not see bluetooth devices

I have a MacBook Pro with bluetooth enabled but it will not see bluetooth devices. I have a new Bose speaker that connects fine to my iPhone but not at all to the Mac. Macbook says it is "discoverable". Any suggestions on what to check?
Thanks,

The path to this file on my Windows 8.1 computer is:
C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
where my username is Steve.
Windows 7 will have the same sort of path. Windows XP won't.
AppData is a hidden system folder so it may be invisible in Explorer. Just go ahead and type in AppData in the Explorer address bar after you've clicked into your user folder and it should work.

RSC does not get files correctly + inconsistent shading issues (Viste 64 bits)

We experience serious trouble with RH 7 update 1 on Windows
Vista 64 bits.
We work with a team on our software helpfile. When a member
starts typing in a topic RH checks out the file. When the topic is
checked-in RSC performs an undo check out and all the mutations are
lost.
Secondly, when we open RSC some files are yellow (shaded).
This is an option of RSC. When we get all topics, some topics stay
shaded. When we view differences, RSC says that the files are
identical.
Any help is greaty appreciated!

Adobe has confirmed (through the Dutch support team) that
they do not support RH7 in combination with Microsoft Vista 64

We downgraded to 32 bits and we have a much more stable

interested.

No laughing... I have a Canon ZR 300 camcorder. I can not see it when connected via firewire in system profile and iMovie doesn't see it either. Any suggestions?

I have an old Canon ZR 300 camcorder that I'm trying to connect to my 17" MBP via 9 pin firewire (its a 4 pin to 9 pin cable as the MBP doesn't have a 4 pin firewire - figured it was backwards compatible). Anyhow, iMovie 09 doesn't see the camcorder. I checked under System Profile and then under Firewire and it doesn't see it either. In fact I get some red letters about not seeing firewire devices. I'm running Lion. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Should using mixed wifi and ethernet clients on a timecapsule work? if so is it a feature I can use out of the box so to speak?
Thanks
No a TC cannot do what you want.. it is now in dumb stupid wireless join mode.. and it turns off the ethernet ports.. in case you want to use the TC as a wireless bridge to multiple clients which is plainly wrong.. (only airport express is allowed to do this since it has only one ethernet port).
Welcome to Apple. (The plainly wrong above is a figment of Apple imagination.. of strict network protocols.. but unhelpful for a home device. maybe also to encourage sales of expresses.)

The software update failed. And it's not seeing iphone when connected.

When I logged in it said there was an update for iTunes software. However the update failed. I quit iTunes. I then plugged in my iphone but iTunes is not seeing it.

Are you able to update iTunes using a .dmg downloaded from the Apple Website?

V570 can not see wireless n connection

Hello, I just bought a V570 5 days ago and noticed that the wireless adapter does not find my 802.11n signal but only the 802.11g signal. While the 2.4 GHz connection is ok, I expected to be able to connect to the faster network. I've tried to set up the connection manually it still does not show in the available list of connections. I've tried putting my new laptop within 2 feet of the router - no luck.
This is not a problem with my router - my work laptop (2 year old Lenovo ThinkPad) connects to my "n" network without a problem, as does my cell phone. I've checked the adapter settings and have the defaults set - 802.11n Channel Width for Band 2.4 set to 20 MHz and and 802.11n Mode enabled.
What I find interesting is that when I look at the adapter settings on my work laptop, it shows a setting that my new one does NOT have - 802.11n Channel Width for Band 5.2. Why do I not see this setting on my new laptop. Is this a problem? While I like the laptop, this is bugging me enough to return it if I don't find a solution soon.
Thanks for any help.

Yeah, I know it's a bummer.
I was "burned" by this issue, when I bought my Y470. I just "assumed" that a brand new laptop, would include a wireless card that supported both channels. What I found out, after I received my new system, was that almost ALL laptops coming from Lenovo, only have B/G/N 2.4 Ghz cards. If you want a card with 5Ghz "A" support, you must upgrade the card in your original configuration order. The real kicker is, if you use the Lenovo outlet web pages to buy your system, you can not upgrade most of Idea Pads wireless cards. Those type of upgrades, seem to be only "offered" on Think Pad systems.
However, you can still buy, and install, and upgraded wireless card. I'm just not sure where you can buy it, and still be under warranty. See this thread:
http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Y-U-V-and-Z-series/Upgrading-wireless-card-in-Y470/m-p/476833#M39...
You would think that Lenovo would have a "parts" outlet web site, that I could go to and order an upgraded wireless card. But it's like pulling teeth, to get any kind of "after purchase" upgrade information out of them. I guess they're too busy selling their systems, instead of making sure they get "brand loyalty" such as IBM once did.
Still, I'm very happy with my Y470. And as I've said, I get a 144 Mbs connection using the OEM wireless card. I had to fiddle with my connection settings on the card, and also on my E3200 router, to achieve the 144, but I've gotten good range on the 802.11N, 2.4 Ghz connection. After all, isn't that what it's all about, anyway?

Not seeing my internet connection

Ola, i have just swapped mac and my internet provider at the same time. My internet is working just fine and dandy but when i open my itunes its basically isn't seeing the internet connection I have so i cant update or go to the store. What am I missing? Where do i need to go and what do i need to do to get it to see it and work ok?
Thanks x

Kind of light on details there...
but cannot even open Safari
How about telling us what does happen? Do you get an error message? what does it say?
Chances are it's a simple network configuration issue on the server - maybe the wrong router address or some such. Knowing the actual failure state will go a long way to identifying if that's the case.

Cannot See or Hear Movies in iTunes (Vista 64-bit)

I cannot See or hear movies or trailers I download to iTunes (Vista 64-bit v). The screen just remains blank even thought he progress bar shows seconds of play are passing. the files are .m4v. I tried opening them with Quicktime instead, but that didn't work either.
I read and complied with the recommendatons on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718?viewlocale=en_US , but it did not help.
Are other iTunes Vista 64 users able to watch movies and trailers?

New Macbook Pro does not see bluetooth mouse

I have just purchased a new Macbook Pro and wish to use the bluetooth mouse from my desktop Mac. However, the Macbook does not seem to see this device when I try to connect. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Do you still have the instructions for your mouse? Most have a button somewhere that puts it in a discoverable state.

ITunes 10.2 Upgrade fix temporary. Fix to iTunes 10.2.2 by uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support and install AMDS from 10.0. Worked only to fail in 5 days. iTunes back to very slow to open and will not see device (iPhone) connected. Sorry

I was one this site for 20+ Days and found a fix for 10.2.1 when it failed. I Uninstalled all, following other attempts that failed, then installed latest Version from Apple iTunes 10.2.12. I then uninstalled Apple Mobile Device Support (AMDS) and installed AMDS from the older 10.0 version of iTunes. Success it worked. Today, I am now back to old problem, iTnes takes very long time to open and fails to see my device when connected (iPhone). I really only have iTunes for my iPhone no extensive library a few hundred CD's in music location and no podcasts. I have less than 6 moveis and want to update them now. I am willing to lose all in iTunes library if need be just to get computer to see G3 iPhone with iOS 4.2 and let me synch once again. I like security of backup too. It older iTunes may now not support, that too is OK. I still want to get the 3GS (no 4G desires, yet) and do not care if any of it is the latest from Apple as long as it works.

Hi Erik,
Your basic suggestion actually worked for me. But this is what I did for others who are having issues removing/installing etc.
1. Download the latest iTunes 8.2. You should end up with a file iTunesSetup.
2. If you dont already have WinRAR, download free copy from http://www.rarlab.com/ and install.
3. Right click on iTunesSetup and choose "Extract" to somewhere you know. eg C:\itunetemp
4. Open up folder where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi
5. It should ask you if you want to repair or remove... choose remove.
6. REBOOT your PC.
7. Go back to where you extracted iTunesSetup and double-click applemobiledevicesupport.msi and go through the install.
8. Plug in your iPhone.
If all is well iTunes should automatically start and start syncing your iPhone.
Goodluck all!
Cheers.
