Documents to Go on Palm TX Syncing with Vista

I cant seem to get my documents to sync with my Palm TX. Everytime I click on the Documents To Go icon on my Vista desktop it gives me a "Runtime error" message. Help! What do I do?

Plan B (free) is to create a folder on a SD card into which you copy (via your computer's SD reader/writer or a USB addition) the files you want your device's Docs2Go to use.
Providing the installation of the Docs2Go was successful onto your TX via Vista, it'll read these and be able to edit and create new files. Granted, its not as seamless as a properly working Docs2Go as you swap files like this manually, but you regain functionality of the program on the device.
You'll also want to disable the sync to Docs2Go via Hotsync > Custom > Documents to Go > and set its default as 'Do Nothing' and promptly forget Docs2Go exists on your machine. But don't uninstall it as this may also uninstall the device's version at the next Hotsync.
Its really the sync portion of the Docs2Go that came with your TX that doesn't work in Vista - but as that's a major point of the software....
I'm not sure how long you've had your TX or how long you've been on Vista - but given Palm is still selling its 3 year old TX, one might assume it would have been a nice gesture for DataViz to ensure the product that comes on the CD actally works with current OSs, yes? Apparently not - the upgrade for a Vista / Office 2007-friendly version runs at around $30. Which seems excessive given that the PalmOs is in its death throes.
Hope Plan B works for you.

Will the Palm TX sync with my macbook 10.5.1 osx??

I need to buy a palm and I am interested in the Palm TX. It does not say that it supports MAC 10.5.1, so will I not be able to sync it to my computer? What is the best option when looking for a palm to sync with my mac?? I appreciate any advice!

Just noticed your post to the subject issue. I have not been able to use my Palm TX since I switched from my old G4 to my new Intel Mac running OSX 10.5.2. I do not understand what you meant by "Mark/Space Missing Sync for Palm OS". Does this mean it is possible to sync my address book and calender without using of the antiqued Palm Desktop?

Why can't touch Sync with Vista Calendar same as iCal file

Why in the world can't the touch sync with vista calendar? it exports the same ics file as iCal. I'd rather not spend the absurd money for Outlook 2007 just to backup my calendar so I don't lose it in firmware updates.
Also it would be very nice to edit my calendars on my computer as well.

With Windows, iTunes can only sync files from Outlook, and nothing else.
It can only do it properly through Outlook, as iTunes is only configured to find the files in Outlook at that time, and no other program.

Palm TX sync with IMac SL 10.6

I have the Palm TX and IMac snow leopard 10.6. Is there a valid reason to install Palm desktop 4.2.1 AND Missing Sync? I certainly want to maintain the sync for my calendar and contacts, but also my memos and notepad. I'm inclined to believe an Ipod Touch is in my future so having the sync with ICal and Address book is a plus, but I'm not ready to make that investment just yet. I'm just stumped whether to install one or both? Or maybe Palm desktop now and missing sync later?
If I read the DataViz website correctly, my Documents to Go should sync with my IMac just fine.
Any guidance here?

Hello rixtr66 and welcome to the Palm forums.
I haven't seen much talk about using Linux to sync with a Palm handheld or smartphone. You might want to check the Palm forums over Brighthand.

Palm Desktop Conflict with Vista

I use Windows Vista Home Premium, and I have installed Palm Desktop 6.2 to be used with a Tungsten E2. Problem is that I get an AppCrash error message for the program Windows Media Player when the Palm Desktop software is installed on my computer. About every hour or so, I get the following error message that reads as follows:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: wmplayer.exe
Application Version: 11.0.6001.7000
Application Timestamp: 47919356
Fault Module Name: PalmUSBDirect.dll_unloaded

Additional Information 3: 1eff
Additional Information 4: 719ef9a8ab079fcb5b3b21da22d4fa30
I have deleted the Palm Desktop software from my computer, then deleted the Palm folder under Program files, and finally restarted my computer. After this the error messages stop.
I have then reinstalled the Palm Desktop software onto my computer and the AppCrash error messages for Windows Media Player then come back. Very annoying.
So far as I can tell, the Desktop software syncs fine, using Outlook program as its source.
Anyone else have this problem? Is there a glitch with the Palm Desktop software as it is used in computers with the Windows Vista OS?
Any help would be appreciated.

Try a clean uninstall of Palm desktop and see if that may correct the issue.
Here are the clean uninstall instructions for Vista.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
did not sync before create a hotsync name.

Windows Mobile and syncing with Vista

I just recently bought a new laptop (within the last week) with Vista as the operating system. I also use Outlook 2007. When I hook my phone up by the usb cable sometimes the computer acknowledges my phone and sometimes not. However, when it does acknowledge it, it does not give me the option to set it up, only an option to sync music, photos and tv. All I want to do is to sync to Outlook.
You can probably tell from my message that I am not very tech savvy but if someone can tell me what to do I can do it! I have read the help menu in Vista backward and forward but still have no idea how to get my phone to sync. Someone please help me before I lose my mind! Is there anything that I have to download to be able to sync? I realize that activesync no longer is needed on Vista but I am unable to tell whether I have to download the Windows Mobility Device Center or if it is already in Vista. I cannot find anything that looks like the WMDC is supposed to look like on my computer and like I said, I am not offered the option of setting up my device.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Alltel)

Ok one way to make sure and see if WMDC is install is to go into your control panel and open the programs and features. And look for the windows mobile device center. If it is listed then it is installed if not (which I think is the case) then you would need to go to here to install it http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
once installed you should get the setup option.
Let me know if any of this does not work

Sync with Vista

I just purchased a new laptop and noticed it comes with Vista. On Vista they have Windows Contacts and Windows Calendar. Can I sync my Palm Centro (PalmOS) with those two programs instead of downloading the Palm Desktop?

6280 goes white screen when I sync with Vista

Hi all,
My 6280 goes white screen and reboot when I sync after a 350 items uploaded to my laptop under Vista Premium Family Edition. I've got this problem either connected through the cable or bluetooth.
I use the latest version of PC Suite, but I do not have upgraded my 6280.
If someone can help me, thanks by advance.
(and of course, it worked perfectly with my old desktop computer under XP ...).
Richard.

I mean to sync with the syncronisation feature (inside the PC Suite menu) to an Outlook 2002, under Windows Vista.
Anyway, I solved my problem : I had a corrupted record in my phone's contacts (the phone was always rebooting on the same record number, when I tried to export data). I have deleted all the phone's contact records and then reloaded them from Outlook, and now everything works just fine.
Backup, backup, always backup ...
The question is : how could I have corrupt a record in my phone's contact ?
Thank you for answering me ;-)
Richard.

Itunes calander sync with vista

Can't sync with Vista 64.

Hi all,
I have a Treo 750 and I have had Vista Ultimate 64 on my machine for 4 months with no problems. I turned the computer off last week for two days while I was gone, and when I got back, my phone would not sync with anything, the computer won't even recognize it.
I have Vista 64 with WMDC 6.1 64 bit installed on the computer and Windows Mobile 6 Pro on the phone.
I have uninstalled WMDC 6.1 and the update through control panel, cleaned the registry, deleted the Windows Mobile folders on the computer and reinstalled several times with no luck.
I have tried two different USB cables on two different ports, no luck.
I have even tried the "trick" of installing WMDC twice in a row with the phone connected and not connected and it still does not work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I did both a soft and hard reset on the phone and still no luck.
Interesting test, if I restart the computer in safe mode, then it will see the phone, but WMDC will not run in safe mode!
Thanks

Problem solved, somewhat....
I decided after 8+ hours to take a break for an hour. I came back, plugged the phone into cable 2 and it worked! But, it would not work with cable 1.
Then, a few hours later, I plugged the phone into cable 1 when I went to bed out of habit and it worked!
No idea why both cables suddenly started working a few hours apart. The real question is, if/when this happens again, how many days do I do nothing hoping it fixes itself or do I spend 8+ hours uninstalling and reinstalling over and over, or do I buy a new phone and drop the Treo out the window?

How to remove iTunes9.4 and get sync with VISTA & XP computers?

Hi,
I sync with 2 computers:
- Home is an HP running on Vista
- Work is a Sony running on XP
2 days ago, I updated at home (without paying enough attention:-(() to iTUNES 9.4 (64bits version)
Yesterday I tried to sync at work but got the message that version on my computer is too old. Since the computer is on XP I cannot install the 64bits version.
What should I do to remove 9.4 and iOS4 from my phone????
Best regards

There is no iTunes 9.4
iTunes 9.2 is the latest.
ITunes is not installed on the iPhone, just on the computers used to sync it.
iOS 4 on the iPhone requires iTunes 9.2 on any computer used to sync, but they don't have to be the same version of iTunes 9.2. They can be Mac or PC versions, 32-bit or 64-bit. They will all work with the same iPhone.

Palm pre sync with Google tasks?

Hello, I am thinking about upgrading my Centro to a Palm Pre versus a Google Android phone. I am leaning towards the pre but for one issue. I know that it is easy to sync Google calendars, but what about syncing Google tasks? I saw some old posts that said you can't do it, but am wondering if it is now supported.

Hello. I am new to the forum and might not be here long if a couple issues can't can't be fixed.
1. As an ADHD adult, the tasks list is by far the most important application on a Palm for me. I synchronized all my data from Palm Desktop 6.22 to my brand new Pre and there are a couple problems. One, I can't figure out how to do recurring tasks. On the Centro it was simple. Just enter something like "feed the fish" and set it to redo three days after task was completed. I see no settings like this . How can I get recurring tasks back?
2. I used to have categories on my Palm Centro task list. For example, as a teacher, I had school tasks, a grocery lists, a Home Depot list, etc. These categories disappeared after I synced to my newly created Google account.
3. This is pretty similar to number two. I used to have categories for memos. Categories for passwords, categories for college stuff, categories for fantasy baseball stuff, etc. Now, they're gone. How do I get them back.
4. More memos questions. How come some of them show the details and then starting at the letter P, I just see sticky notes with one or two letters? WHat is that about? How am I supposed to know what those memos are? How do I fix this?
I've been a Palm Use for well over a decade, but if Palm can;t fix things like this, well, then I guess I'll give up on 'em and get a Droid like my wife. However, Palm has helped me organize my life for so long I'd like to stay with them. Are there any fixes for these problems, either via setting on the phone, apps, or anything else? Thank you in advance for your help.
-Brian
