Exporting Memos from Palm

Hi,
I am trying to transfer my Palm's memos to the third party app Files, which connects to my Mac as a server. I am looking for a way to export my Palm memos as individual word documents to be read on my iPod. I am aware that Palm Desktop can export every memo into one word document and that I can copy and paste into word, but I have over 1300 memos to export. Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Thanks,
ampaudi

Are you asking how to sync memos from Palm to Mac? Perhpas you should find a Palm forum. If on the other hand you want to get notes into the iPod Touch from your mac, then... (from an earlier post of mine)...
A lot of people are asking for note syncing - this isn't quite syncing, but it does let you copy notes and even create and edit iPod notes on your Mac. In case you didn't see my post about PhoneView, here's a link that tells you all about this Mac app.
http://ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
You can choose txt, rtf, doc, pdf, and html files on your Mac and PhoneView converts these to notes on your iPT.
The app is a bit pricey since I'm not interested in most of what it does, except for the "syncing" of notes. $20. But I bought it anyway.

Editing contacts in gmail after export/import from Palm Desktop is a messy affair

So far, from what I can see, my contacts are synchronizing well between the Pre and my gmail contacts list. Being easily amused, I guess it's pretty slick the way it works. But exporting them from Palm Desktop and importing them into the gmail contacts list was just a jumbled mess. Almost none of the actual fields from PD mapped correctly to the gmail fields, so all of my info got lumped into the "notes" field in gmail.
It's easier and faster to edit them in gmail than on the Pre, so that's what I've been doing...fixing about 300 contacts one at a time. You can cut/copy/paste the info from the notes field into the correct data field. But there's one really weird thing that happens if you try to drag-and-drop info, say a telephone number or an address, from the notes field into its own field above. The data appears to move over. But once you save the change, anything you dragged into its own field disappears. Trying to go through the list quickly, I didn't notice this strangeness until I had gone through a large enough number of my contacts to really make me swear.

smkranz,
I had a similar mess to clean up. I figured that Google's contacts would work better with an import from Outlook and a direct export from Palm Desktop 4.x or 6.x. I used Chapura's Pocket Copy to push my Palm Desktop 4.2 data into Outlook, and then exported my data from Outlook and into Google contacts. I followed Google's directions for that part. I still had to review my 400 or so contacts and do some mop up, but it wasn't a total train wreck.
Glad to hear that you did get a Pre. Welcome to the club. Now we have to work on WyreNut.

Access Memos from Palm Z22 to Mac (10.5.4)

Is there a way I can sync my Palm to my Mac and then be able to access the Memos? I bought a keyboard for my Palm and used to use it to type notes in class (back when I had a PC and could access the Memos on the desktop) but there won't be much point if I can't transfer the Memos to my laptop. Any help?
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Hello!
To xfer those Memos from you PalmOS device to the Mac, you need to install the Palm Desktop 4.2.1 for Mac. You can find it here. Its virtually the same thing as the PC counterpart but with some subtle Mac-specific features.

Export files (.dba and .ada) from Palm 3.1 to Outlook

Better part of 3 days on this problem. I can get recognizable information into Outlook from my very old Palm but it is not structured correctly. I will have to edit every it transfered. Even opening up the .csv in Excel the errors are evident.
Using Yahoo as an intermediary works but with calendar entries illogically scattered and replicated.

the only thing that will work when you export files from palm desktop to outlook are the contacts.
calendars, tasks and memos can't be exported to outlook.
the option is hotsync only.
however if you really wanted to transfer those files to outlook, there is a 3rd party software called pocketcopy from chapura.
there is a fee when you download it though. here check it out. http://www.chapura.com/pocketcopy.php

Migrating from Palm - roadmap?

Can anyone point me to a roadmap for migrating from Palm to iPhone, in this forum or on the web? It would be really useful as a sticky or FAQ IMHO.
Of course I can do the easy bit of calendar and contacts (did it already for my wife when she transferred), but now that I have an iPhone too I need to deal with the to dos and notes, which in my case are a considerable amount of data - my wife had none to speak of so it wasn't an issue.
The todos in Mail seem to work kind of OK, but I really don't like the Notes being in the inbox. And I have no idea how to get them from the Palm into Mail, even I wanted to.
What other software is available to handle Todos and Notes on the iPhone/Mac OS X?
TIA

Exporting Palm Calendar (Date Book): you should have in the Export dialog box the option of changing the export format from "Palm Desktop" to "vCal".
vCal (.vcs) files will import into iCal. You can also bring them into Entourage (not through the Import dialog box, but by dragging the .vcs file onto the Entourage icon in the dock).
You will almost certainly lose category information, if you were using any.
Exporting Palm Addresses: choose the vCard format, which Apple's Address Book will recognise (ditto Entourage if you take that option). But I see you've succeeded with that part.
Exporting Tasks: this gets tricky as Apple doesn't have a stand alone tasks or to do app and the to do function in iCal is a bit underwhelming. You'll be able to export Palm Tasks in "Tab & Return" format, which means you could open them in a word processing or spreadsheet program. I doubt you'd be able to get them into iCal with any ease. You may have better luck importing tasks into Entourage, which does have a proper Tasks function, but that's not something I've tried to do.
Exporting Notes/Memo: as with Tasks, your option is using the "Tab & Return" format. You may need a 3rd-party notes program if you don't want to use Entourage Notes.

Migrating from palm desktop 4.2 for windows to ical

Hi,
I am attempting to migrate my calendar and task information from my palm desktop 4.2 software on a windows xp machine to my brand-spankin' new iMac. The calendar file export type doesn't import into ical. I'm not even sure which application the task(to-do list) and memo(notes) data from palm desktop would be most appropriate to import into on the iMac, but I would like to migrate that data, too.
I did successfully migrate my contacts info from Palm Desktop into the Address Book on my IMac. Hooray!
any help is appreciated.
thanks.

How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet? Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files. If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

Importing a vCal file that was exported from Palm Desktop

Hopefully someone can help me out here. My wife uses Palm Desktop v4.2.1 to manage her Treo (we share a Mac mini). I figured out how to export the Datebook from Palm Desktop as a vCal file, and then import it into iCal. The problem is, there appears to be an error or corruption happening in the process. Some events are duplicated, while others are recurring every single day even though they weren't originally set that way. On her Treo and in Palm Desktop, the events are correct and appear as they should. So either the Palm Desktop is corrupting the data on the way out, or iCal is misreading it on the way in.
Has anyone experienced this (or similar) situation and if so, were you able to resolve it? I use iCal to manage my calendar on my iPod Touch (syncing via iTunes), and I'd like to have my wife's calendar on there as well, but not have to import or recreate events one at a time. I should also mention that her Treo 650 is not supported by iSync, so that option is out. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Please allow me to pile on this thread as I, too, am looking for answers to this problem. I am using Palm Desktop 4.2.2 to export my calendar from my Tungsten T3 to something iCal and my new iPhone 3G can understand, but the results so far have been a pig's breakfast of recurrence errors and birthdays that last two days.

Export contacts from Zire 31 or Palm Desktop 4.1.4 to outlook 2003

I have contacts on Zire 31 and on Desktop 4.1.4 and am having trouble moving them to Outlook 2003. How to?
Post relates to: Zire 31

Try exporting your contacts in .csv or .tab format from Palm desktop and import into Outlook.
Another option is to use Chapura pocket copy. Go to chapura.com and check out the program.
If you want to try the export option, search the forums for the instructions. I have posted those many times before.
One last option is to insert the CD that came with your Zire and see if it has the option to change the sync method to Outlook.
In the user guide on page 10 it explains how to change the sync method.

How export data from memo T app

I have a Samsung Stratosphere. I have data stored in the memo T application. Apparently the data is stored only in the app and not on the SD card. I need to get that data to my new Android device. Why I've tried and challenges encountered....
Within the memo T application I find no command/option to export data
Within the files application, I cannot find data from the memo T application.
When I connect my Stratosphere to my computer using my USB I cannot see the data in the memo T app.
Please help. Thanks.

Was this issue resolved? I have the same trouble trying to find all my T Memos from my old Stratosphere and syncing to my new S5.
I am not a software whiz so will require step by step hand holding.

Export Voice Memos from iPhone 4 to Mac/itunes

I'm trying to get Voice Memos from my iPhone 4 onto my computer so I can then subsequently put them on my iPhone 6. They didn't sync properly the first time I tried.
The apple support told me that I would have to use third party software. Anyone know of any free programs? (TunesGo only allows 20 songs before you have to pay).
THanks!

I think you need to find a third-party tool to copy voice memos from iPhone to Mac because iTunes can't do it. And the only option Apple offers is to backup your iPhone, either to iTunes or iCloud. However, by doing this, voice memos are packed into the backup file package. You can't view them until restore your iPhone with the backup file.

Exporting voice memos from iphone doesn't retain their names

Hi,
I'm using an iphone 4 on Vista running the latest itunes (newest update, the whole firmware, itunes etc just updated right before I decided to post this).
I'm trying to save voice memo files from my iphone to my computer, but although they save and play back okay, they have been assigned a bunch of numbers (taken from the recording date and time perhaps) instead of keeping the name I gave them on the phone itself. There are far too many of them to drag off one at a time and rename manually.
So how can I save them all in one go whilst retaining the names I gave them on the iphone?
I've previously managed this - when I initially got the phone and started saving memos I once dragged and dropped a load of them from my iphone through itunes and they did retain their original names, but after trying numerous times since I cannot see how, although it must be possible?
Thanks!

You can transfer voice memos from iPhone to Mac by emailing:
Open the voice memo app and select the recording you want to transfer, then tap on the Share icon in the left corner under the Play button. Now you have the option to send it as a Mail.
Choose Mail then fill in the relevant details and hit send. This is fine for the occasional memo, but if you have several that you want to do at once - or have long recordings whose files sizes are not inbox friendly - then the best solution is to use iPhone Transfer for Mac.

Transfer Data from Palm OS to BlackBerry 10 Smartphones - US

(I am Posting this a 2nd time because I'm not sure it went through the first time; got some kind of authenication error message.)
- 1. What is the best way to transfer my PIM Organizer Data from my Palm TX to a BlackBerry Z10?
- 2. How do I obtain the standalone BlackBerry Desktop Software, latest Build of v.6.1? or even a version later than 6.1? or should I obtain v.5.0.1? or v.4.7?
I am currently a U.S. Cellular customer and when they make the BlackBerry Z10 available, I plan to switch from my Motorola feature phone to the Z10. I currently also use a Palm TX PDA (Palm OS Garnet v.5.4.9) and use Palm Desktop Software v.4.2 ( = the CD installation version of
v.4.1.4e?) on a Windows XPmachine. I could upgrade the Palm Desktop to v.6.2.2, but I haven't because v.4.2 on Windows XP is working well for me.
The support page for Z10, Transfer from iPhone & Android to BlackBerry 10 Smartphones - US ( http://us.blackberry.com/support/transferring-to-bb10-device/personal.html ) implies that it does not support direct transfer from Palm OS to BB v10; only transfers from Androids and iPhones, as well as from other BBs, are supported. I have searched your Knowledge Base and found several articles that tell me how to migrate my PIM data from Palm OS to earlier versions of BlackBerry. I then presume that once I have my data imported into the earlier version of BB Desktop I can then later import it into the BB10 Desktop software; am I correct?
Here are the Knowledge Base articles I found:
1. Article ID:
KB03050 ( http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB03050 ) - How to transfer contact information from a Palm OS device to a BlackBerry smartphone
2. Article ID:
KB04346 ( http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB04346 ) - Field mapping list for the PIM Data Migration Wizard
3. Article ID:
KB04437 - ( http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB04437 ) How to use the organizer data migration wizard
4. Article ID:
KB05421 - ( http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB05421) What is the Switch Device Wizard?
The four articles all give slightly different advice, but
Articles # 2 & 4
imply that I can export the PIM data from Palm to BlackBerry Desktop Manager
v.5.0.1
and seem to have the most simple and clear instructions. However,
Article #3
implies that I should use BB Desktop Manager no higher than
v.4.7
, and
Article #1
implies that I can use BB Desktop Software as recent as
v.6.1
and use "Method #2", which seems very long and complicated by transferring data to
Microsoft Outlook
as an intermediary step!
So I am confused as to which method to use.
Articles #2 & 4 & BB Desktop software v.5.0.1 seem the simplest, but if I need to use the latest possible version, 6.1 with Outlook as an intermediary to get superior results, then I am willing to follow this more complicated method as described in article #1. I want to use the method that will give me the best results with the lowest error rate, even it may be the most complicated way.
... Help!
P.S.
I also use
Agendus for Windows Palm Desktop Edition v.5.42( http://www.iambic.com/agendus/winpded/):
"Agendus for Windows is an application that enhances how you view your calendar, contacts, tasks and memos. It also provides intuitive tools, such as text capturing, a free time finder, voice recording, advanced search capabilities and Internet features (weather, driving directions, address lookup). All of these things help in make scheduling extremely easy and hassle free."
It can form hypertext links between the separate databases of the Palm Desktop (calendar, contacts, tasks and memos) so you can flip back & forth between the databses without having to close one before you open the other.
There's also an
Agendus for BlackBerry version (
http://www.iambic.com/agendus/blackberry/
), but was developed pre-BB 10, and I think the code is sufficiently different between the BB and Palm versions, that I don't think it is easy to transfer data between them since the BlackBerry version synchronizes with Agendus for Windows Outlook Edition ( http://www.iambic.com/agendus/winoued/).
When I transfer my PIM data from my Palm to a BB-Z10, will I be able to keep those active hypertext links in Agendus in the transfer and still have them work?
P.P.S.
I also have
Palm Desktop by Access v.6.2.2 ( http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb/na/tungsten/tx/unlocked/solutions/article/32859_en.html )installed on a Windows 7 machine, but I find that v.4.2 w/ the Windows XP machine tends to work better. However, I am willing to use whatever combination of Palm Desktop version together with Windows OS version that will get me the best and most accurate results. Palm Desktop v.6.2.2 also has an extension called Palm Conduit Switcher Application (OutlookSwitcher.exe v.1.3.0, which is accessible through Start > Palm > PIM conduit sync > Sync with Outlook) which supposedly will change my Palm handheld to sync w/ Outlook instead of with Palm Desktop; would that accomplish the same thing as Article #1 (ID: KB03050 > Method 2 > Tasks 1,2 & 3) and maybe be easier or do it better? But it would seem that the KB03050 method would leave my Palm Desktop intact, whereas the OutlookSwitcher application could delete my Palm Desktop in a process that would convert my data permanently to Outlook; am I correct? An earlier version of OutlookSwitcher.exe also is included in Palm Desktop v.4.2.
There are so many questions and options for me, I don't know which way to go! If you and your colleagues don't know the best way either, then I will most likely follow the advice in KB03050 in conjunction w/ upgrading my Palm Desktop to 6.2.2 on my Windows XP machine, since I would have the most control over datafield mapping, and the extra work spent doing that may pay off with a smaller error rate after the transfer, which gets me back to my second question at the top of this article: How can I obtain a copy of the latest Build of BlackBerry Desktop Software v.6.1 as a stand-alone application into which I can transfer all my PIM Data first, *before* I install & syncronize the new BB10 phone? Or should I use a version later than 6.1?
Sorry for this being so long and convoluted, but after going through all the permutations and combinations, it should be obvious to you that I now need the support of someone more expert and experienced in this before I do anything else. Thanks!

Hey telemarkdoc,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Currently you can not transfer data from a Palm smartphone to a BlackBerry 10 smartphone through BlackBerry Link. Also previous versions of BlackBerry Desktop Software will not work with BlackBerry 10 smartphones.
The only way this could work is that you transfer the information from the Palm software to Microsoft Outlook and then BlackBerry Link can synchronize the contacts and calendar information to the BlackBerry Z10.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.
