Does Palm Desktop 4.1.1 work on Windows 8.1/64 bit?

Have never posted on a forum before so a bit nervous - but desperation needs must!
Have followed closely replies to other queries on this Palm forum (and the wonderful work which Wyrenut, SMKranz and many others do - well done chaps!). However can't quite locate the answers that I'm looking for. So please help if you can! Here goes:
Current situation: running PD 4.1.1 on Windows XP/32 bit. Handset is TungstenT which is limping badly and only rarely synced with. So it is the Desktop which is most important.
Migrating to Windows 8.1/64 bit and would like to continue using 4.1.1. Will it work? Any major downsides if it does? Will it sync with the handset if it is ever required - by bluetooth or usb (with the hep of those Acerca drivers)?
If 6.2. is the only option for 8.1 which format should I export Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and memos in? PD 4.1 offers, in addition to the default, several other possibility(csv, text, tab, vcard). Confused about which one is best
Any help you can give would be most gratefully received. Thanks

xenssa,
Palm Desktop 4.1 does work on Windows 8/64 bit.
I have not updated to 8.1
If I was to buy a new PC with Win 8.1 I would try Palm Desktop 4.1
I have been using it for 3 months with no problems. I have a Zire 72.
I do a USB HotSync using the Aceeca driver.
When you install the Palm Desktop software skip check the internet for updates step.
I have my Windows UAC (User account Control) set to Never Notify.
I set the Palm Desktop/ Properties/Compatibility to Run this program as administrator.
To make Palm Desktop "Run as Administrator" every time in Windows 8/8.1:
Close Palm Desktop, if open. (This is a very important thing to always do when using Palm Desktop, it has been known to lose data when a computer is shut down without closing the program!)
Right Click on the Palm Desktop Icon in the Metro screen, then choose "Open File Location". You will now see the actual file for the shortcut.
Right-click on the "Palm Desktop" shortcut file, then Properties. Now pick the Compatibility Tab at the top.
At the bottom of the Compatibility Tab is a checkbox: "Run this Program as Administrator". Put a check in the box, then click OK to close the window.
I use the Import Export feature in Palm Desktop to Backup my Calendar and Contacts and save in my Dropbox.
I use .dba (Calendar) and .aba (Contacts) formats.
I use PD 4.1 with Vista, Win 7, and Win 8.
I can create a PD Backup on any of these PCs and import it into another PC.
Make sure to select all Contacts before you backup, only the highlighted contacts will be exported.
I use the vCard format to move Palm contacts to my Gmail contacts

Does Smartview 11.1.1.3 work on Windows 7?

does Smartview 11.1.1.3 work on Windows 7? I think it is officially not supported.
Anyone with luck using SV on windows 7 and office 2010?
Office 2010 is very similar to Office 2007 (which is supported, I thijnk, by SV 11.1.1.3)

Oh, I just found out that our PC clients are on Smartview 11.1.1.3.0 (build 190). How can I apply patch to upgrade to 11.1.1.3.01 for our server and for our PC? I need the latest patch as we are windows 7 and office 2007 users. Do I need to upgrade both SV client (for PC) and SV server?

If it doesn't work, please help to post back the IE crash dump file here for our research:
First enable app crash dump collection by copying following words into notepad, saving it as dump.reg and importing it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\localdumps\iexplore.EXE]
"DumpFolder"=hex(2):63,00,3a,00,5c,00,63,00,72,00,61,00,73,00,68,00,64,00,75,\

Does Palm Desktop sing on the intel-macs?

I havent synced my treo in weeks and was wondering if palm deskstop works with intel-macs even under rosetta or something?

The latest version of Missing Sync bypasses iSync and uses Sync Services directly. It does things like sync the custom fields in your address book entries (Palm Desktop doesn't) and integrates with iPhoto and iTunes to sync photos and music. You can set up profiles of conduits so that only the conduits pertinent to the profile run. It also supports LAN sync if your PDA has wi-fi capabilities, which is far faster than Bluetooth.

Moving data from old computer to new computer. where does Palm Desktop app find conduit apps?

Please help,
I have backed up my old database files from my Palm programs off of my old computer
(The hard drive and computer were going bad, and then it died).
Question: what directories and where do I copy the old data, so I can hotsync?
I hotsynced once, but I don't see the programs in the Hotsynce conduit screen, where
you select to handheld overwrite desktop or synchronize the files.
Question: In the conduit screen, what directory does it look for the programs in?
I have a Sony-Clie, PEG-SJ22, Palm Desktop v4.1, Hotsync Mgr 4.1.0, .
I have spend 4 days on re-installing palm software, to solve the usb hotsync issue.
I'm finally able to hotsync, Thanks to previous postings and hours of re-installing different versions
of the palm software.
Any help on the questions, would be appreciated.
Thanks.

View Solution.

The directory for your data will typically be c>program files>palm>[user folder, usually an abbreviated version of your Hotsync ID]
Are the missing conduits for third-party applications? If so, you will have to track down and reinstall them...most apps which have a conduit must run an installation routine on the desktop to actually install the conduit.

Do I have to give up Palm Desktop 4.2 with my new Windows 7 64-bit Computer?

Just got a new Windows 7, 64-bit computer. I am completely dependent on my Palm Desktop 4.2 software and don't want to give it up. However, I was told by an online chat rep. that I needed a bluetooth connection to hot synch my Centro with my new computer. Ran out and bought it, but it seems that on Palm Desktop v. 4.2 there is no option to hot synch via bluetooth...obviously, the program is too old.
Does this mean I have to "upgrade" to Palm Desktop 6.2? Yuk! This version stinks! 4.2 is the reason I'm on my 3rd Palm product. Is there a different calendar software that you can hot synch with a desktop calendar? Has anyone had any success with this?
Any advice would be appreciated!

No windows 7 64 bit USB driver, PALM is SO OVER.
Sad I love my CENTRO on SPRINT. I have 3 on my account and 2 7xx. USB Bluetooth dongles are cheap but annoyingly flakey because of the crummy software that comes with them AND will they work with PTunes? It didn't when I tried Bluetooth on Windows XP.
At the END of the day, if PALM is not committed enough to put out a windows 7 64 bit USB driver how can I be committed to this phone. Looks like Android is getting help from palm, although I don't want to deal with learning a new phone.
If you find a good USB Bluetooth dongle device that works let us know here.
By the way, this ANNOYING chat board says me first name is an OBSCENE word. PALM is insulting their loyal customer base. I'll see if the Android board will let me use my first name. :-)
Thanks,

How to copy Palm Desktop data to a PC using Windows 8.1

If like me you still find the Palm Desktop data (address, calendar, memos, etc.) handy and use it long after throwing away the handset and "sync" ability, you may find this useful. I bought a new PC using Windows 8.1 and had problems transferring data because of a wrinkle that I figured out, which didn't exist in Windows XP, Vista or 7 versions. Here's a recap of one way to easily transfer data from those earlier versions if you have a USB flash drive (or Dropbox, Google Drive, whatever) handy :
1) Download Palm Desktop 6.2 or 6.2.2 to your new PC. Then give a user name exactly as it exists in your old PC's database. This name will be used by Desktop software to create a six letter folder name (an abbreviated version of your name) to hold data that Palm Desktop will look up. Wait a few seconds for this to happen, then close the Desktop application on your new PC.
2) In your old PC from where you want to transfer data, look for the folder called "Palm OS Desktop" which should exist in "Documents" under "Users" folder and subfolders path like >your name subfolder>Documents in Windows 7 (may be Vista too) or may be under "Documents and Setting" folder in Windows XP.
3) In this folder "Palm OS Desktop" look for that six letter subfolder of your name, and select that entire subfolder and choose "Copy" or Ctrl-C
4) Locate the same subfolder name in your new PC (which will have null data), delete it, and then "paste" the subfolder you "copied" into the same exact location. If you've done it right, Viola! Your new PC desktop should show all the transferred data once you again open the application.
Most of the same procedure works with Windows 8.1 (probably also Windows 8) PCs. What I found different was that the data subfolder created under "Palm OS Desktop} had 7 instead of 6 characters with a "0" (zero) added as the last character. So when you finally copy and paste that subfolder into the new PC you have to rename it and add that "0" for the Palm Desktop to locate this data.
Hope this helps.

To turn off UAC, go to the Control Panel, then User Accounts.
Under the header, "Make changes to your user account", there is an entry titled "Change User Account Control Settings".
Pick it, and drag the slider all the way down to "Never Notify".

Palm desktop appearance different in Mac than Windows

My Palm Desktop looks quite different after the software was loaded onto my new iMac. I am using a Z22 and have grown to love my Palm very much and rely on it daily. One feature that I use quite often is the NOTES tab for Contacts. The new desktop on the Mac does not have a tab for notes. The fields for entering data forcontacts is also quite limited.
Is there a way for my Palm Desktop on my iMac to look the same as it did in Windows?
Post relates to: Palm Z22

If you really want someone to blame, then the people who own palm should be somewhere in the firing line, as they have halted any further development on the mac platform despite palm OS once being considered the natural companion of the mac. If you notice in the account setup for palm forums there is as yet still not even an option to choose mac osx 10.5 leopard, and the desktop software is written for PPC computers as opposed to intel ones. If you have an intel mac therefore, it will run really quite slowly.

Does the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter work on windows?

I'm planning on buying an Asus G55VW-DH71 gaming laptop, which has a thunderbolt port. I would like to be able to control my PreSonus digital audio mixer with it, and unfortunately, it only has a firewire for connecting to it. So, I would want to connect Apple's Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter into the laptop and the mixer's firewire cable.
Does the adapter work on windows 7/8?
Also - getting a macbook is out of the question.

I have pretty much the same need as you and purchased a HP laptop with Thunderbolt port and Windows 8. I also picked up the Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter. I have been unable to get Windows to detect the Firewire side of the adapter. Windows 8 seems to pick up the Thunderbolt controller correctly and shows it as an extension of the PCI express bus.
I have found no set of drivers that I can add that will get the Firewire side to be recognized by Win8. Win 8 should have 1394b drivers native, so I don't know what the problem is. I wish I could get this to work, because I just don't have the option of getting a MacBook for the things I need to do.
Right now the only other Thunderbolt to Firewire option on the horizon seems to be the Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock, but that has 2 problems.... 1, it is still in pre-order and 2, it is ~$300.

Establishing Palm Desktop 4.1.4 connectivity on Windows 2003 Server - using m500

Admittedly, this is a legacy problem solution. I was told by tech support that Palm could not support the m500 on Windows 2003 Server. Via another connectivity solution, I learned that the pnp services needed to connect the palm m500 to my Windows 2003 server could be established. I went to the link:
Installing SSDP and UPNP services under Windows 2k3
(the link url is: http://alantechreview.blogspot.com/2008/03/installing-ssdp-and-upnp-services-under.html)
followed the procedure, then installed Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and was able to hotsync my m500 to that instance of Palm Desktop.
Hope this helps someone.
