Hot sync overwrite question

Is there a way to overwrite the data on the palm centro with data from my computer without losing the applications that are installed on the palm? I have acquired a used centro with lots of great applications on it that I want to keep. I know how to hard reset but was under the impression that I would lose all the third party software. Thanks!!!

Zire 71 Hot Sync

Help!!!
My old computer died, and I have a new PC with Windows 7 and 64-bit architecture.
I have installed the Palm OS and copied my data files over to the new PC, and I can run the Palm program on the new PC.
Howerer.........the Hot Sync feature will not work, and I am guessing it must be the move from 32-bit to 64-bit, but I have no idea how to resolve this issue.
Can anyone help? [email protected]
Many thanks in advance.

I need a Tungsten t5 manual, a CD, and a hot sync device for it

I have been using myEbay purchased Tungsten T5 mostly the calendar function, memos, contacts, etc. However, I would like to be able to hot sync it to my Mac G5 power mac computer with OS X.5.8, both to upload and download between both devices and use all of their joint capabilities. I would appreciate anyone advising me where I can acquire these accessories. I just have no luck dealing with Palm. I'm a greenhorn to this forum. Any answers out there?

Tungsten T3 Hot Sync in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and WIndows XP mode

I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and now my Palm T3 will not sync. I downloaded desktop 6.3, 4.1.4, and 4.1.4e. I tried all three in both windows 7 and windows XP mode which I am told is a 32 bit O/S but I'm really not sure. I have tried hot syncing in bluetooth in windows 7 the T3 and Laptop connect but it keeps telling me the port is in use by another program? Does anyone know what I have to do to get it to sync or am I doomed to throw my trusty T3 out? Any Ideas?

Hot sync usb cable

The Z does not have a cable with a hotsync button. The device does come with a screen tap for hotsync. It should look like two arrows going in a circle chasing each other. Connect the USB cable that came with this device and tap on this icon.

Thanks, due to problems been sourcing Palm applications to replace those on Classic. So far I have been able to do this and been pleased with the results. What particular applications do you use on Classic?
I will shortly remove classic from applications as no longer use it.

Hot sync manager won't open

For some reason I downloaded Palm desktop 4.1.4 on my windows PC for my M130 and the hot sync manager won't open. My operating system is XP Home. I was wondering if the problem might be that the Palm desktop is too outdated to use on XP. I'm new in the Palm world so I really need some help.

Are you running any kind of Fax software or modem software on this PC?
I found out Windows Media Center has a function that monitors the phone line to your computer. It will announce the caller ID of any call coming in, if set to do so.
This was causing problems with some Fax software I wanted to run! When I turned this setting off, the Com port became available.

Palm Desktop 6.2 with drivers and hot sync will not install

My new computer has dual quad core processors (8 processors), 8 GB RAM, Vista Ultimate 64 bit.
The Palm Desktop and Hot Sync manager will not load because the New Hardware Wizard cannot find the drivers for the Palm Centro even when I point the wizard to C:/Program Files (X86)/Palm/USB-drivers.
Is the Palm Desktop software compatible with Vista Ultimate 64 bit?
The software loads just fine and operates well on my quad core,2GB RAM, Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

Laptop restarts sometimes during hot sync

Why does my laptop crash on occasion during hot sync? Laptop is a HP with AMD 2 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM and plenty of disc space. At times I do get "failed to backup one file", PMTracedatabase, Protocol Error: Handheld file could not be opened (4004), SYNCERR_FILE_NOT_OPEN. Phone is a Centro and I have done the updates/downloads. Thanks.

What are the Palm files you are referring to? Are these the files from the Palm desktop user folder?
You can do a sync after the re-install with the conduits set at handheld overwrites desktop to sync the data from the Centro to the PC. To make sure you have the data backed up, use the procedure below.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each application (contacts, calendar, etc.) in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
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.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
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 you have the data intact on the device, set the conduits to handheld overwrites desktop.
If it asks you for a username, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right corner of the hotsync screen.

Hot Sync freezes

Tungsten E2:
I had been using Palm Desktop v 4.1.4 for a number of years on Desktop with XP home OS. Hard drive crashed and I bought a new laptop running Vista. Then I had old hard drive repaired and XP re-installed. Palm download center recommends Desktop v 6.2.2 for both XP home and Vista. I downloaded it to both machines. When I try to hot sync my E2 with either machine it freezes at the same spot. I can see that my data is there on both machines. Should I try to re-install v 6.2.2 or will that wipe out my data.

There may be database corruption causing the issue. Click on the following link for the program called DbFixiT. This program has a trial version that you can download and install on your Palm OS device. The trial version will scan for database corruption and then report the corruption. You can then find the records causing the problem and fix them yourself or you can purchase the program and have it automatically fix the records.
http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm
To install the program, set all conduits to "do nothing" except quick install or install if using Palm desktop 6.2.
After you install the program on the handheld, run the scan and also scan for Blobs in the calendar.
After you clean-up the database on the handheld, set the conduits in hotsync to handheld overwrites desktop and perform a hotsync.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.

Hot-syncing / Verizon Centro

I have been unable to hot-sync my Verizon Centro with my desktop computer for over 2 weeks. It will connect and start up normally, but then it gets hung up while doing the 2nd part of the datebook synchronization. After some time I have to cancel the operation. I have a third party application called Datebook Plus, which I have used for a long time with no problem. We also recently installed a McAfee Security suite on this computer. I even installed the Palm Desktop on my laptop computer and attempted to hot-sync the Centro with that, but it got hung up the same way. Help!

Sounds like some database corruption on the Centro.
I'd suggest the oft-recommended fix here by using DBFixit from pimlicosoftware.com
It will search and correct many of the errors on your Palm device, but may require purchase to fix all of them.
The "sledgehammer" approach would be to Hard Reset the device (which will erase it), and rename your /Backup folder on your computer before doing your first Hotsync to the newly-erased phone.

Hello All!
I am trying to hot sync a Palm TX with Outlook. If I choose Start>Programs>Palm>PIM Conduit Sync> Sync with Outlook, I get "No Palm Desktop to configure or condmgr.dll could not be loaded." If I try to register condmgr.dl, it will not allow mw to register or unregister it. If I do a hard reset of the Palm TX, it appears to by synchornizing, but the entries in Outlook and on the Palm do not match.
The OS is XP Professional.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
