HELP! New TX & 6.2.2 won't sync with Yahoo! account. HELP!

For a few years now, I've been using a Palm Tungsten E2 Handheld and syncing my E2 with my Yahoo! PIM (calendar, contacts, memos, etc.) account using Yahoo!'s Intellisync function. Everything has worked smoothly, with only minor problems, for years (prior to the E2, I had a Zire). I recently purchased a Palm TX handheld upgrading from the E2. When I got this new Palm handheld, the software I was forced to install on my computer was Palm Desktop version 6.2.2. I went to Yahoo! to sync this new handheld with my Yahoo! PIM using Intellisync and noticed Yahoo! no longer uses Intellisync. They now have what they are calling Autosync. As instructed by Yahoo!, I un-installed the Intellisync program from my PC and installed Autosync. The very first time I tried to sync my TX with Yahoo! I got an error message telling me this version of the Palm OS (6.2.2) wasn't supported. Can anyone tell me what I do now? This is very frustrating. Yahoo! doesn't support it's Itellisync or Autosync (and you are warned about this when installing) and you get a form response telling you, basically, if you are having problems, get rid of it. I've looked around Yahoo! and Palm sites and can't find anyone with the same problem or a solution. I think I'm just out of luck until Yahoo! decides to support 6.2.2 and who knows if they are even aware of it. If anyone has any solutions, please let me know. My Yahoo! account is a little more important to me than my Palm and I'm really tempted to send it back for a refund and look for some other device that will support Yahoo!. I'd be grateful for any suggestions. This is just annoying me to no end. Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm TX

OK. I'm happy to announce that almost a week after receiving my T|X, things are close to where I expected them to be.
First, let me thank HardBeatZ& for your assistance. I doubt I would have ever thought about using the disc that came with my E2 to pull me out of this mess.
But, that's exactly how it happened. I uninstalled both Yahoo!'s Autosync and 6.2.2. I found the disc (after a frustrating day of searching) and loaded 4.1.4. I then loaded Yahoo!'s Autosync.
It would take me an hour to write the trial and error period I went through at this point. Syncing the E2 with the desktop, figuring out that Yahoo!'s Autosync only syncs with Palm Desktop now instead of directly with the handheld, syncing the T|X with the desktop software then Yahoo!'s Autosync, duplicate and triple calendar entries, losing my entire To Do: list (which is quite lengthy) and getting it back by beaming it from the E2 to the T|X and...well, you get the idea. A lot of trial and error.
In the end though, things are about 90% back to where I need them to be. Getting the duplicate entries under control is the biggest annoyance but I've got my third-party apps, calendar, contacts, tasks, memos, etc. on the T|X now and, I must say, I'm starting to feel happy about the purchase (finally). Not having to guess where to place the stylus to hit buttons or write characters (on the defective E2) is the nicest thing.
Anyway, I got work to do but I wanted to come back here and thank you HardBeatZ&because I probably would have given up by now and sent it back. Glad I stuck with it. Now, this, of course doesn't mean I won't discover some new, frustrating problem tomorrow with the T|X but, for now, all is right in my world of handheld computing. And, at least, I learned a few things about syncing and the Palm Desktop that I didn't know before.
One problem I do see down the road is that cheap material the spine of the Palm cover is made out of is going to eventually tear just like that gray one did on the E2. I was thinking of reinforcing it with some electrical tape or some type of epoxy to strengthen it. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas how to keep that cover from breaking off? That gray one on the E2 was a joke for someone who uses their Palm several times a day like me. They should give you two. lol
OK. That's it. Thanks for reading and I'll stop by here more often to see if any of my experiences can be of some value to other's challenges.
Take care ya'll.

  • New contacts entered into my iphone won't sync with Yahoo! contacts

    Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

    My problem is the same, but also, I cannot click "Put new contacts created on iPhone into the group" I have "all contacts" selected but I can't do anything else other than that. If I click "configure" it ask me for my login stuff for yahoo and it looks like it's doing stuff, but than nothing else happens. How can I configure my yahoo address book so that it will sync the right way and be able to put new contacts I create on my iPhone to my yahoo account?
    Thank you for the Help!

  • IPhone won't sync with iTunes.  Help?

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It just says, "waiting for sync to start." But no matter how long I leave it like that, it never syncs.  Wirelessly or via USB.  I have restarted both my computer and my phone.  I have deleted and reinstalled iTunes. I have installed the latest version of iTunes and the software on my phone is up to date.  Nothing seems to work.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

    I found this on another thread --
    Keep your iphone connected. Quit iTunes. Reopen iTunes. Sync begins automatically. It worked for me and several others who had already followed the advice.
    So easy.

  • Mountain lion contacts won't sync with Yahoo

    Just upgraded and the option in Contacts > Accounts > On My Mac . Sync with Yahoo is missing. Also, sync with Yahoo is not working. Has anyone found a fix for this or is Apple responding with a patch?

    nqk, I also get that error message frequently, and just tried Jennifer's suggestion of turning off the firewall and virus protection temporarily, my results were I still got the error a couple of times, but was able to sync the contacts without the error many more times than before. Happy to say I've got an iMac on order and am looking forward to it. Thanks Jennifer B for your suggestion.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to add custom label to a new contact in address book which is synced with outlook account

    Hello all,
    My iPhone is synced with outlook account. When I tried to create a new contact,'Add Custom Label' option was missing. Is Apple provides any solution to handle this? Is there any documentation provided about this behavior?

    The second script is working but if I need to change the link it will not allow me to edit or delete it in iCal on my desktop. The only way to edit it is to use the online iCal in me.com.
    And the worst problem is that the url does not show up on my iPhone iCal. The iPhone version of iCal has limited features. So if I'm away from the office on my iPhone I still have the problem of having no link to my iCal appointment. I still end up having to use both iCal and Contacts as separate Apps.
    I still dont understand why Apple wouldnt make these 2 Apps work together! It seems so obvious! thanks anyway.

  • New iphone won't sync with my account

    I've had a 3GS and now have a new iphone 4.  I've plugged it into my existing itunes on my laptop and it won't sync apps, music, or anything.  The sync starts and finishes without updating anything.
    Any advice??
    Thanks

    It is not devices, it is computers only. You can have up to 5 computers authorized with the same iTunes account.
    The computer you are using is not activated with your iTunes account with iTunes? If not, is a computer available that is activated with your iTunes account? You can deactivate all computers from one computer that is activated following by activating the computer you are using now.

  • New computer, missing content/content won't sync with iPod

    I got a new laptop and I allowed the sync between the computer and my iPod touch. However, not all my content is on iTunes anymore and neither will iTunes and iPod sync correctly. I'm afraid to erase and sync because I've already lost a lot of content off iTunes. What do I do? Plus, I just bought music off of iTunes with my iPod sync'd to my computer and it still won't sync the new music to my iPod. ???

    I'm glad that just moving the music library worked for you.  When I moved my library, it didn't work automatically as you indicated.  When I synced may nano to the new computer with the recently moved itunes library, a message came up asking if I wanted to erase everything on my nano and sync with this new computer.  I checked yes and it synced without any problem.  However, for some reason the same message didn't come up when I tried to do the same with my iphone.  I only synced after I found the sync tab and checked the box that said it was ok to erase the phone's music in order to sync it to the new computer.  I think I know why the message came up automatically with my nano but not the iphone.  I initially connected my phone to itunes on the new laptop before I had the music library moved over.  When the message asked if I wanted to erase the phone and sync with the itunes, which was blank, I said no.  I think that is why I had to manually check the "yes" box to sync my phone with the laptop after the music files were moved. 
    All that matters is that it is working now and I didn' have to make an appt with a "genius" at an apple store for them to show me how to check the box. 

  • Made the switch from Windows with a new iMac now my iPhone won't sync with erasing

    Hello!
            I migrated from an older PC to a new iMac and when I try to sync my iPhone (which was synced on the old PC ) it wants to erase all my iPhones (3GS) data in favor of what currently on the iMac's/iTunes.
            I deauturized my iTunes account on the old PC before switching, was there something else I may have missed?
            I'd like to be able to import all the app and music tht's currently on my iPhone into my new iMac/iTunes.
            Is there a way to acheive this?
            BTW I LOVE MY IMAC!!!!!!!!!!!!
            Thanks in advance for any comments/advise...........
            D.

    If you transfer your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac following the instructions included with this link, no iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac.

  • HT1567 I have new computer and my ipod won't sync with my itunes library on it.

    Trying to sync my ipod with my itunes account on my new computer with no response. When I plug my ipod into my computer it doesn't sync.

    How is your iPod configured to sync with your iTunes library?  What options do you have enabled/configured from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs?  Perhaps this article can offer more assistance.

  • Contacts Won't Sync with Yahoo

    I can't get Contacts on my Pre to sync with my Yahoo account.  The contacts I already have on Yahoo will download to the phone, but any new ones that I create on the phone will not upload to Yahoo, no matter how many time I try to sync them.  In fact, when I create a new contact on the phone, my Yahoo account doesn't even appear in the drop-down menu next to the name.  The user guide says that if an account doesn't appear, then you can't assign the contact to it, but doesn't tell you why the account doesn't show up or how to fix it.  I have deleted and re-entered the account twice now, but that doesn't help.  When I go to the Login Settings the username field is filled in, but the password is always empty.  I type my password and click "Sync Now", it successfully logs in and tells me the sync was successful, but the new contact still doesn't appear in Yahoo.  When I try again, the password field is once again empty.
    I only have this problem with Contacts.  My Yahoo Calendar syncs just fine with the phone.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.
    This question was solved.

    Hi micromarcs,
    The good news is, you're not doing anything wrong. The bad news is that Yahoo Contacts are a one way sync from Yahoo to the phone. If you want to add contacts to your Yahoo account, you'll have to do so from the web browser. If you go to http://m.yahoo.com from your phone, you can go to the Address Book site and manage your contacts from there.

  • Ical won't sync with gmail account

    I'm trying to set up my wife's iCal to sync with her gmail calender. We both just got brand new macbook pros and mine had no problems sync my mail, calendar, chat and address book.
    Yet when she tries to sync her computer with her gmail account it will only work with mail and address book and chat. When it tries to sync her calendar with iCal it says that "A secure connection couldn't be established" and won't sync her calendar at all.
    Anyone have a solution?

  • 6303i won't sync with a MacBook - HELP PLEASE!

    Hi,
    I have just got a 6303i as a business phone - all I need is a phone that would sync the contacts from the MacBook so that I can call or text easily. But I have a few issues...
    Firstly, it is not supported by the Mac via Bluetooth; the two would just not speak to each other at all.
    Secondly, thew USB cable connection offers PC Suite, Printing & Media or Data Storage options - none of these seem to enable synchronisation. I have downloaded Syncmate onto the MacBook which finally allowed the MacBook to see the phone, and I could transfer files via the Data Storage option, but that is not actually what I want to do!
    Thirdly, the manual is rubbish! I'm not highly tech savvy so I tend to follow the book and its actually wrong! The sequence in the manual for synchronisation is as follows:
    menu>settings>sync & back up> synchronisation, then a choice of 6 options. In reality the phone has:
    menu>settings>sync & back up, then straight into a choice of 4 options (phone switch, create back up, restore back up, data transfer.
    Has anyone managed to get these phones to sync with a MacBook? And what is the point of printing and supplying a manual which doesn't match the reality of the phone?? It is EXTREMELY frustrating! And yes, it is the correct manual for this phone.
    Advice would be appreciated!
    Thanks!
