Hot sync appears to work but doesn't transfer info!

I admit, it's been awhile since I synchronized. Just did so, and all appeared right with the world, the handheld made the appropriate noises and showed the appropriate actions and same on the computer (XP, connect as always have through USB). In other words, they appeared to "talk" and said they were synchronizing. But my data (like important calendar entries) is simply not there. Nothing. Nada. Nothing recently added.
I tried repeating it several times. Yes, I have the system set up so that desktop overrides handheld. So what's up? Used this a lot in the past, never had this happen.
Thanks for any help.

First, let me say I am using the same hotsync program that originally came with this same palm handheld and which has previously worked. So there shouldn't be any incompatability issues.
And the message I get when synchronizing is-----that it is synchonizing and, as usual, it runs through the whole rigamarole, showing it's doing calendar, memo, addins (whatever those are) etc etc.
At the end, it says, synchronization complete!!!!
Again, it makes the little noises to show they are communicating. Everything as it should be, only, the info doesn't transfer.
And yes, the data that I save primarily is on my desktold, in the Palm desktop program that came with the Palm handheld. I want to share, download to my handheld. So--any thoughts?
Thanks again,
Dee

I'm having the same problem though not with the exact same components. I have a Palm Z22 and Windows Vista--things were going great until a few days ago when I noticed that the palm weren't connecting. The Hotsync process proceeds normally, there are no problems noted in the hotsync log, and yet things do not travel from the computer to the palm and vice versa. I've tried pretty much everything: I know the palm is connected to the desktop, not Outlook; I have tried soft and hard resets; I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software multiple times; I know the username is correct.
I suspect the problem has something to do with Vista; when I restored my computer to a previous time it started working fine but this morning it stopped again. The computer may be automatically updating in a way that is preventing the Palm Desktop software (verson 4.2) from working. Version 6.2 seems to work but I really hate it--there's no color schemes or categories. If someone could help me out with this I would really, really appreciate it.

I've had my iPhone 4 for about 4 months now, and suddenly some apps aren't working. They open and appear to work, but as soon as you try to do something it doesn't load. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it. I also force shut down my phone. I synced it to iTunes. Nothing is working. Does anyone know what I can do?

Basic troubleshooting steps oultlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
You need to go through all steps in succession until your problem is solved. If going through ALL these steps fails to resolve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calles does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai and a Dodge rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2.

My iphone 6 connects to the car via bluetooth, the music works good, but the phone calls does not work. It looks like it is working but doesn't. I have tried in my Hyundai Sonata and a Dodge Dart rent car and get the same results. I updated the last 8.0.2. It worked the first day i had the phone, and then i updated to Ios 8.0.2 and it quit working.
Now when i get in the car, it acts like it is connected and makes the same call it was on after syncing to bluetooth, but it really isn't on a call. This is happening on both cars.
Does anyone know if this is the phone and i need to take it to Apple or if there is an issue that Apple is working on getting a fix for?
My son in law has the exact same phone as me, we both got the on 10/6, he had a Dodge Dart and his is working via bluetooth.
Someone HELP please, as i consider this a safety issue by not having my calls go to bluetooth.

We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE! After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
Hope this helps!

I have a desktop machine windows 7 based with CS5 loaded and working without problem. I have recently purchased a laptop running 8.1 windows. I have loaded the cs5 package onto the laptop and it appears to work but when I try to update, although I am being told there are updates it attempts to download the update but then tells me there is a problem and to quit and try again later.. I have tried a number of times to download the updates but itkeeps telling me to quit and try later. what is wrong please?

There could be a 32 bit vs 64 bit issues-is the old machine a 32 bit? and what is the new machine as far as 32/64 bit. I am not sure now if CS5 has in the help menu of the PS app the selection to update within PS if so that might work. I know that the Creative cloud app for installs updates etc has caused me much consternation over the last couple few years. Last it could be something like your Software firewall settings or anti-virus anti malware programs. I know that updating the infamous adobe flash that Internet Explorer pop ups setting and having AV turned on as opposed to off can interfere or plain break the update ability

My photos are in Raw Format when I open in Bridge and they appear very clean but when I transfer them to Photoshop they are full of noise. What should I do to fix the problem? Thanks.

are you sure its not just the way you are viewing the photo? you don't even see noise on the preview in Bridge and when I say preview I mean when zooming into the preview window. My thought process being in PS you are zoomed in more

ProBook 6560b - Bluetooth appears to work,but Laptop not discoverable?

Hi,
I am having an issue with my laptop and my HP printer. I have always printed via bluetooth never had any issues. But now it just doesn't work. I have used my phone to scan for devices and the Printer is there but not the Laptop.
In HP Connection Manager Bluetooth appears switched on and everything looks OK, it just cannot be discovered.
Any ideas? My technical knowledge is limited, so please excuse any stupid questions I may ask later in the thread!
Thanks!

I think I have fixed this, went into Device Manager - it would appear that the Bluetooth was Disabled. I certainly don't remember doing this, but everything appears to work now!
How could my Bluetooth become Disabled?

Scan works, print says it works but doesn't

Hi all! Everyone seems to have the opposite problem - wireless printing works but scan doesn't. Not me! I can choose "scan" from my printer OR computer interface and it starts right up. Problem is, when I go to print it goes through the "printing" screen then says "print job complete" (no hangups or errors or something in the print queue to delete - it's in the queue then it disappears as though printed), but...no business results on the printer end!
Before you ask, yes the printer works (can print from SD card inserted directly to printer, or from old computer connected via network). Yes I have turned everything off and back on. Yes I tried downloading the HP print & scan doctor, and it says everything is fine, sees ink levels etc, but its test page behaves the same as any other print job. Yes I have deleted the whole HP shebang and re-downloaded and re-searched/connected my computer via the wireless network. And, as aforementioned, it scans. Oh, and tells me my ink levels! So clearly there is communication, just not for this. What weird sub-setting am I missing?
And also, if you can resolve this, can you give me an idea whether it is suddenly going to start printing the 80 pages or so that I've tried to beam over, so I can stop it? : )
Thanks muchly!

Hi @theshrew
Please try bypassing the spooler to see if you can print directly to the printer.
1. Click on start and go to devices and printers.
2. Right click on the printer and click on printer properties.
3. Choose the option "Print directly to the printer".
4. Click apply and then ok.
If this works follow the next steps and try to print again.
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
Type services.msc and press Enter
Locate Print Spooler and double click on it to open the Spooler properties
Make sure startup type is set to Automatic, if it is not please click on the drop down and choose Automatic
Under Service status, please Stop the server, and then wait a moment and click Start
If bypassing the spooler does not result in a successful print, let me know.
Also, what printer model do you have? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Are you getting any error message, or does a blank page print? The more detail I have the better

Downloads such as adobe flash update won't download even when anti virus is disabled. The download box appears and runs but doesn't show anything.

Any updates or downloads won't download in Firefox. The download box appears, goes thru the motions but doesn't park anything in the file. I usually have to quite Mozilla, use Explorer for the download, such as Go to Meeting, or Adobe updates. Can't download anything with Firefox from your browser.

I am having the same issue -- IE7, XP SP3... Flash Player

Base Station appears to work but no internet? Please HELP!

Last night my internet and email was working fine. This morning I got no signal. I called the cable company and went through their diagnostics and determined that it is the Base Station I'm having problems with. When the modem is connected directly to my computer everything works fine, when I use the wireless I can't get on the internet or get email. The strange thing is that it says my airport is working and connected to the network. It also says that the basestation is connected to the internet but when I try to open a page I get nothing. Any suggestions?

I tried to setup my mother in laws brand new iBook, airport express and modem yesterday. I got it working when connected to the modem over ethernet and then set about adding the airport express. The first thing it did was upload verion 5.6 of the firmware and I then spend a number of hourse trying to get the thing working but it completely refused. The diagnostiocs said I was connected to the internet, but I could not connect to any servers. I called it a day and went back home.
Later last night I thought I would double check my own airport extreme settings to see if I could work out what I had done wrong. When I connected it asked if I wanted to upload the latest firmware so I said ok. I ended up with my setup in exactly the same situation. I then realised that it must be the 5.6 firmware that is causing the problem - but I couldn't even get on the apple website to find out what they were saying about it.
Anyway just got on now over dialup and there doesn't seem to be any mention of this problem other than this thread.
Has anyone else successfully uploaded 5.6 without getting this issue?
I'm currently downloaded 5.5.1 so I'll see if that fixes things.
I also noticed that I can't find a screen that lets you download 5.6 anywhere. Does anyone know if apple have withdrawn it?

XP install appears to work but no coffee cup or java

I have tried a number of times to install java through internet explorer, firefox, and the offline download file. The installation appears to work completing OK. However java apps still don't work and there is no coffee cup in control panel. Sites that require java tell me I need to download it.
If I try to reinstall I get a message saying java is already installed. Java is listed in add / remove programmes. I have uninstalled it and removed every reference of java on the PC and in the registry and I still haven't been able to get it working.
What else can I try?
Thanks

I seem to have the identical problem. Here's my post from another site.
I've used Java succesfully under Win 2000, but now that I've switched to XP I can't seem to install it properly. I've run the installation .exe and Java appears in Control Panel Add/Remove Programs, but not in the Start/All Programs area nor does it work in either of my browsers (Firefox and IE). The browsers don't see that it was installed either. Applets don't run, but I can see the JavaScript Console. I have a project management program that requires Java and it will not run either. Help!!!

Install 10.4.11 using TDM from G5 to G3.. works, but doesn't take

I cannot use the Installer app, as I said above, will not even open - it just crashes. So, my plan was to put the G3 in TDM with my G5, and run the "combo" updater on my G5 and point it to my G3. That works perfect just as it should.
BUT, when you then cycle the power on the G3 at the end of the install and reboot it, the "combo" update has not taken. Everything seemed to work perfect when I did the install.. but the G3 just does not take it as when I reboot, I am in the same broken 10.4.11 I had from the "incremental" update.
I know this fix of using the "combo" updater will work, as I said did it on another system, but the question is why the G3 is not taking the update despite everything indicating it did? what gives? I would not have to do this if the Installer app worked, but it is hosed.

I know this fix of using the "combo" updater will work, as I said did it on another system, but the question is why the G3 is not taking the update despite everything indicating it did? what gives?
Sorry, you are jumping to the wrong conclusion... it WILL work if something is damaged in the parts of the OS that are replaced by the Combo Updater, but clearly WILL NOT if a part of the OS is damaged that was never Updated!
Appears to be time for An Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

MacBook water spill - works but doesn't charge. Apple doesn't do partial repairs?

I spilled some water on my MacBook Pro (15in retina).
I let it dry for a couple of days then powered it. It worked.
When the battery got to 0%, I plugged the MacSafe and it didn't charge. It sometimes charges, but intermittently. It charges very rarely.
I brought the laptop to the Apple Store, and they said that it would cost $2000 to repair, because they want to replace EVERY parts that were water stained.
I only want to change the Adapter Port, and POSSIBLY the Logic Board IF changing the Adapter Port didn't fix the charging issue. Knowing the above, it will most likely work, but if it doesn't, that's OK, I'll buy a new one. I'd rather risk $3-400 by doing this and buying a new Macbook IF it fails, than paying 2K for a repair straight away.
Of course my laptop could break eventually if not all parts are replaced, but that's fine (I was able to wash some water stains with alcohol already).
Why doesn't Apple simply change the parts that must be changed, letting the customer take a risk or whatever if he wants so?
IMO -- Terrible policy that must be reviewed.

No mouse pointer when connected to TV Samsung led40/6500. Mouse works but doesn't show?

Just bought Mac Mini. Connected to Samsung 40/6500 ledtv. using mouse pad but no pointer seen. Finally found the resolution working, but not the right resolution. Should be 1920x1080 @ 60 hz via HDMI. Mac Mini's best is much different from this. How can I find the right resolution on my Mac Mini.

It actually works fine on my sons Lumatron cheap tv! But not on the Samsung led tv?
To start with I used an app on my Iphone to recieve the image from the Mac Mini and then try to find the right resolution on the MAC. Because every time I choose the wrong one the display went black. I could then still see the image on my phone and troubleshoot my way through...

CSS problem that works but doesn;t

I am beginning to think this is not possible. The code is
below. The images are their but the two side ones are not showing
up or they do not even work like the top leaves. I even dropped the
2 layers lft & rgt inside the top layer that does work and the
top layer still works but the other 2 still don't, puzzling. Here
are the link
http://www.lasalleboat.org/index2.htm
On number 2 the links do not work the leaves layer/DIV/AP
Element is above the links layer
http://www.lasalleboat.org/index3.htm
On number three the links work but they move over the graphic
and the links layer is above the leaves layer
I have tried adding two more layers one on each side of the
page and put thin graphics.png in the layers so they clear the
links and made the leaves graphic crop at the bottom of the trees
line so it cleared the links neither of the two layers I added will
work or show up withe code below so I tried putting the two lft
& rgt layers inside the leaf layer and resize the leaf layer
and that kind works but not you can see this at the next link.

You can take sniffer trace for working one and failing one. Then compare the difference.
Perhaps, you show us the config for the content rule doing rediretion. (i.e. content rule and its redirection service). Then I will have a second look.
