Hot synch problem with Palm TX

I entered some new contacts on Microsoft Outlook and two new categories of contacts. When I hot synch with my Palm TX the new contacts appear but the two new categories do not appear. Does the Palm TX have a limit on the number of Contact Categories it will handle? I have 15 Categories at present in Outlook.

According to the Palm Knowledgebase, 15 is the maximum (not counting All and Unfiled).
Details here:
http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/nua/launchKB.asp?c=31763
It states any more than 15 will be lumped together into "Unfiled".

Hot Synch problems with cradle and Palm Vx

I had to hard boot my Palm Vx for digitizing errors. Now I can't get the pda and Hot Synch Manager to work.
How do I set up the pda so if talks to the Palm 414EN.exe desktop download. I have the old cradle attached
to a serial port on my work PC.
Thanks,
Jay Rush

Hello Jay and welcome to the Palm forums.
The trick is that once you have installed Palm Desktop 4.1.4, in the HotSync Manager, you use the Setup... menu item to configure HotSync Manager to listen to the COM/serial port your cradle is connected to. I had my Vx configured to use COM1 on my Windows 2000 box.
Also, make sure that your Windows user account is a member of the Windows administrators security group before you attempt to install Palm Desktop.
Hope that helps,

Hot Synch Problems with Centro and Computer

Transfered phone numbers from old phone and added three months of dates on the calendar. Hot Synched and it transferred to my laptop. Went back to Verizon and they beamed my PalmVx info into phone. Got all the addresses and phone numbers, but it wiped out the calendar. Now it will not hot synch the old phone numbers and addresses onto the laptop nor will it transfer the calendar data to the Centro. Help!
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Sure. 877-426-3777. It should transfer information from the PC to the Centro and back. The question is would then be where are you syncing too? The Palm Desktop or Outlook?
If the Palm Desktop is the usermenu, (top right hand corner) set to the same user that displays out hotsync on the Centro?

Hot synch problem - Palm Z22 - stalls on Date book synch....

I have a palm Z22. I've had it for several years. Recently, I downloaded 6.2.
When I hotsync, everything comes up as it should but it freezes on the datebook synch.
Here's what gets done in a nano second:
Package installer
Install
Install Service Templates
Install to card
Hot Synch Exchange
Date Book - it aways stops here....13 green bars, 2 of 12 complete.
Does anyone know how to correct it?
Thanks,
sdm

This question was solved.
View Solution.

When I hotsync, and the display pops up, I seem to have some double items....
My previous problem (fixed by dbfixit as suggested on this forum) was the hot sync was stalling on the second date book.
I see that when it's hotsyncing, it is checking off one at a time...
Should I delete the duplicates and how do I do that. (they are not listed as duplicates on my hand held that I can see.
All this is hard work for me, so appreciate this forum and all your help. sdm

Hot Synch Problem

HotSyncing Palm Centro with Palm Desktop ver. 6.2.2. No problems until recently. Operation hangs up on syncing date book/ calendar. I can change the other configurations (address book, memos, to do list, etc.) and they sync fine. My handheld has my most up to date calendar. Should I overwrite the Palm Desktop calendar?? I have made no software changes that I can think of. What to do????
thanks,
Gene

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
If your device does have the most up to date information then I would definetly try to override the data on the desktop first. To do this, open up the Hotsync settings by clicking on the Hotsync Icon in your system tray (icons next to your clock on your start bar). Once you click on Settings go into Applications. Click Datebook then go to Configure. In there, set the sync for handheld overrides desktop and then click ok then click done. Now you are okay to go ahead and connect your device then perform a hotsync operation.
I hope this resolves your issue and let me know if it does not.

Synching problems with pages and numbers

After an initial problem with synching which was resolved with Yosemite Pages and Numbers have been synching across all my devices for a couple of weeks and now all of a sudden they have stopped again!! They synch across my phones and iPad but not to my macbook pro!! Very very annoying! How do I resolve it?

Found a solution, but it is odd:
On the 2008 Mac Pro, I UNCHECK the boxes beside Pages and Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Options. Now Pages and Numbers will properly save edited documents to the appropriate folders on iCloud Drive.
Go figure ...
Hope that this helps someone else.

Hot Sync problems with Windows Vista using a Tungsten E2

Need Help solving a hot sync problem. Have a Tungsten E2, about a year old. Use Windows Vista OS. Can not sync to desktop. It worked fine for awhile then stopped sync'ing. Have reinstalled Palm Software, Have downloaded Palm 6.2. Have deleted all 3rd party apps,,,and their back up files. Particulary,,,,Epocrates apps, Took over my PDA. Installations and updates gets to synchronizing Calender and 'freezes' have left it on overnight figurng lots of data,,,,no progress. I need help. I really enjoy using this equipment. I use my PDA for all my scheduling of work shifts appts etc. I would appreciate some suggestions. Thanks in advance. Mike.
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. So if I am understanding you when you try to sync it goes to calendar and freezes and never completes the sync. That being the case the first thing you want to do is go to the conduits and turn off calendar then sync and all should be successful, except calendar will not sync. What this indicates is that you have corrupted data in your calendar, most likely on the E2. Do a google search on your computer for a utility 'dbfixit' and download it to your computer. Extract it so you have the dbfixit.prc file and double click on it to put it in the installer. Then, insuring the calendar conduit is off, sync to install it. Once installed run dbfixit. This utility is free or can be purchased for (I believe) 12.95. The free version will search for corruption and problems let you know where they are and you will have to manually fix or delete them. If you register it, when you run the utility it will find the errors and fix them as well. Once all errors are fixed, turn the calendar conduit back on and you should be able to sync.

6300 & Lotus Notes V7 (Synch problems with Calenda...

Trying to synch my calendar on a 6300 with Lotus Notes v7 HF277 L-GHUS-5RWNHM with PC Sync v 6.86.9.0.
When trying to Synch the process fails with following error message :
Calendar Incomplete. Unable to process all items.
The calendar sycn was working fine for several days and all of a sudden the synch started to fail. No updates to phone or Lotus Notes occurred during this period.
Can you advise how I can force replication from Lotus Notes to my 6300 phone or overcome the problem above ?

Hello, I am meeting a similar problem with my N95 and Notes V7 Calendar.
The feature used to work with my N95 until very recently.
Synchronization of the list of contacts does work but the calendar stopped working.
Here are the problem symptoms
Nokia PC Suite opens Lotus Notes V7 and seems to be scrolling entries while displaying a counter being incremented against a total number - in my case the total number is 779.
When the first counter reaches 760, the dialog stops resulting into the 2 following synchronization msgs:
PC Sync has encountered a problem and has terminated the synchronisat
and
The synchronisation has been aborted.
I observed that
Deleting one calendar entry reduces the total number from 779 to 778 - unfortunately the the scrolling still aborts before reaching the 778 number.
Reducing the calendar synchronisation window to the bare minimum (1 day before / 1 day after) does not change the scrolling process (ie. the whole 778/779 entries seem to be scrolled) and the process keeps aborting.
I have the following software configuration:
Nokia PC Suite is 7.1.18.0
Lotus Notes is 7.0
and I updated the phone software with latest firmware available on the Nokia site
I have been a very happy user of the N95 Calendar function until now.
Would anybody help here ?
Kind regards.

Problems with Palm Pro

Hello, Im not sure if this is the right forum, but I'm in desperate need of help. A friend brought me this phone from U.S. but I'm in Ecuador and there are no Palm Service Centers here. Also tried to find a way to contact Treo though email but was unable to.
Me and my husband been trying to figure out some things about how to use the phone for 2 months now and of no effect. It seems like there is a problem with the phone, my husband thinks that its possible that windows have to be reinstalled, is that possible to do?
Some of the problems are that windows live almost never synchronizes on my phone. I've tried installing facebook using all sorts of ways, nothing works. I went to the website and followed directions that said "
On Start, flick left to the App list, tap Settings> Email & accounts. " But I was not able to find "email and accounts" on my phone following these instructions.
I used to have a "lock button" on my phone, but then it just disappeared.
Lately, when I connect the phone to my computer I have to manually locate the Windows Center program whereas before it would pop up automaticallly.
Also I cant figure out what's the deal with the camera, it used to take normal decent size pictures but now they are microscopic in size and I cant find an option on my phone to change picture size. Nor do I understand why all of a sudden it changed in size without my permission....I had to delete all the latest photos because of their ridiculous size.
Another thing I dont get is when I get a call from unknown number and then try to save it on my sim card then only options I get is to save it either to Windows Live or Outlook, in order to save to SIM card I have to go to contacts first and enter the phone manually. What's the deal with that? In addition, some of my saved contacts are not being recognized and when the person calls the number shows as "unknown".
This is by far the most difficult phone I've ever had. I'm not expert in electronics but I dont think this is me, because my husband has been trying to figure out how to use it and he couldnt do anything about it either. He's got Iphone, we both use same phone company and have internet on our phones and he's got no problem with his phone like i do.
Anyone got any ideas what I can do? Please help.

Windows is stored in the phone's ROM. If you "hard reset" the phone (you can get direction in the Support section of this site for Phones > Treo Pro > Unlocked) then your applications, your data, etc. will be erased and the software should be restored to its original condition. But of course, this is a last resort.

Windows Live Hotmail? Are you setting it up as an Exchange ActiveSync account? I haven't tried that myself.
The directions you have for Facebook sound as though they might be for a different device, or a later version of Windows. If you go to http://m.facebook.com/ from your phone, you should get a download link toward the bottom to install the Facebook app. I haven't tried it myself.

If you mean that pressing the red end button doesn't lock the screen any more, you may need to read this thread: Keyguard not engaging anymore

To change the camera resolution, try this: start the camera, aim at something, then press the Up button on the controller. You should get a button bar that lets you increase the resolution. Whether it will become the new default, I don't know.

Not sure what you just wrote.
You can use your iPod on any computer.
When you connect it to iTunes for the 1st time on a computer, it will ask if you want to link the iPod to this library. If you say yes, it will simply Automatically update everything when connected to this computer.
You don't need to delete anything from another computer.

Sync problem with Palm IIIxe and outlook

I am unable to sync my PalmIIIxe with Outlook 2007 on my PC running MS Vista Home premium 32 bit. The Palm IIIxe is using Palm OS 4.1 with Hotsync 4.0. I have installed palm outlook 2007 conduits.
I do not get any options to either set up or configure conduits from the desktop Hotsync manger 7.0.2. When I first installed Palm Desktop by Access version 6.2.2 it asked if I wanted to sync with Palm desktop or Outlook, I chose outlook…..but it will not sync, although I have been able to load apps.
Any ideas?

Hot synch problems

I was having some problems syncing my Tungsten T5 following editing/deleting some programs. Then I got a new computer. When I got the new computer, the help desk suggested I manually enter the data from the Palm into the newly installed Palm program & then return the handheld back to the factory settings, which I did. Problem is, I am still having problems syncing by cable. When I synch, I get the message "The connection between your device and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup & try again." I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling the palm program, per some of the other messages I have read. I am not a computer whiz, so if anyone can help me in simple language, I would be eternally grateful!

Good job MHC!!

Problems with Palm Desktop 6.2

I install Palm Desktop 6.2 and HotSync Manager (Windows) in my palm Tx ( I working with windows vista in my pc), after when it is working and I want to enter to the applications this one resetting mi system operation.
please help me.

Palm Desktop 6.2 has been nothing but a HEADACHE. I do not recommend it -- at least not for WinXP and Zire or Treo. It doesn't do anything new anyway, and it may be supported by Access, which is some other company, not Palm.
Problems I had:
-- Cannot Hotsync
-- Corrupted files on Zire, which required full reset
Fortunately I was able to download Palm Desktop 4.2 (still available) and re-install. I had backups to repair files, but all categories were forgotten, so a huge headache.

Solved synch problem with iphone 2.0 outlook 2007, win XP Pro and Mobile Me

I've been struggling with this mobile me business, and I hope that I solved it for me and therefore for you. I have the components listed above. I noticed that my iphone was no longer synching to outlook '07. Can't remember if that was before or after I updated to iphone 2.0 Regardless, neither the dock nor the mobile me synch worked. ( It would go through the motions of the synch, but then when I went to look at the phone, it had not changed at all. )
In reading the posts, it appeared that all of the solutions pointed toward a corruption in the pst file. Most of the solutions are based on the fact that there is some item in the calander section ( or the contacts) data that is corrupt. Fortunately, I have a proprietary calander in my office and I use outlook as the conduit for getting that info onto my iphone through itunes. So, I deleted all of the appointments in outlook and then tried to synch a blank outlook with the iphone and it worked! So, all I had to do was then resynch my office proprietary software back to outlook ( which worked ok) and now it's working fine. In fact, that solved the mobile me issue as well....
So, I hope this helps you out there..eveyone's case is different, but it does appear that if you've reinstalled itunes, reinstalled outlook and tried everything else, that the problem resides in the pst file and there is some appointment or contact that itunes does not like.
Hope this helps.
