Hot Synching Palm Z22 with 64 bit Windows 7

I just purchased a new Sony Vaio running 64 bit Windows 7 and I'm unable to Hot Sync my Palm Z22 to my computer.  I've been a Palm user for years, with my current one being my 3rd model and it's been my lifeline but I'm highly agitated and frustrated that the Palm folks haven't posted any updates to handle my current situation.  Everything I read here indicates spending additional money to go the infrared route and some people aren't even having success while others struggled a long time to make it eventually sync.  Does anyone out there have an identical situation as mine, who'd be willing to give me sound advice as to what I need to do and how to do it in order to get my Palm to communicate with my 64 bit Windows 7 platform?  Thank you to anyone who's able to assist.

@MrCobol:
This subject has been discussed and beaten to death in many other threads here.  The facts (again) are:
1. Palm sold the rights to Palm Desktop many years ago.  Railing against Palm/HP makes no sense.  If you want an update, complain to Access of Japan.  They are the owners of the software, and they chose to drop the ball.
2. Many other companies have struggled to come up with 64bit drivers for their existing software (that they actually own!)
3. Palm OS devices were EOL'd quite a while ago.  They were supported through Vista 32 bit.  Microsoft changed things, and you chose to buy a 64bit system.  HPalm has moved on to a whole new OS and devices, and support for PalmOS is nearing an end.
Yes, it would have been great if Access stepped up to the "plat" and provided a 64bit version of Palm Desktop, but that didn't happen.  Workarounds have been provided on this forum by devoted users, and they do work!

  • HotSincing the Palm Z22 in 64 bit Vista (and Windows 7)

    There has been much discussion on not being able to Sync the Z22 under 64-bit Windows Vista or 7, using a USB cable. I have found a solution that so far has worked just fine for me.
    Quoting from the website:
    "Create an XP Mode for Windows 7 Home Versions & Vista. One of the cool features in Windows 7 is XP Mode. However, it’s only available for Windows 7 Professional and above, leaving Home Edition and Vista users out of luck. Today we’ll show you how to create your own XP Mode to run on Vista or Windows 7 Home Premium. Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows Vista are not licensed to run the free XP Mode download from Microsoft. However, if you have a legal copy of Windows XP, then you can easily recreate XP Mode with the free VMware Player.  This article will show you how quick and easy it is to get a virtual copy of XP running on any computer, even if it’s running 7 Home Premium or Windows Vista."
    I installed the Palm Desktop v 6.2.2 and SplashPhoto Desktop v 5.03; the work just as they did on my 8 year old laptop with XP
    Here's a link to the article. I hope it works for you.

  • How to charge your Palm Centro via 64-bit Windows, with a USB cable

    Here is a way to recharge your Palm Centro on your 64-bit Windows computer, through a USB cable.  But first, a few brief explanatory notes...
    Note 1:  I have successfully used this method to charge my Palm Centro from my 64-bit Windows 7 computer.  This method probably works for other Palm devices and other 64-bit Windows versions (XP and Vist)...  but I haven't tested this on any other configurations.  Others may feel free to post their successes or failures with their setups.
    Note 2:  This method will NOT allow you to HotSync your Palm to the computer via USB.  All it does is let you charge your Palm via USB.  If you need to HotSync your Palm, and you have 64-bit Windows, you have to use Bluetooth or some other method.  To learn how to use Bluetooth to sync, search for "bluetooth sync 64-bit" or something like that on this forum.
    Note 3:  If you're wondering why someone would need to use this method - why not just plug the phone into a wall outlet, right? - it's because the Centro's charging jack can get messed up.  Mine has not worked properly for the last several months
    Note 4:  I will not be posting any follow-ups to this message.  This is my first (and only) post here...  I'm posting here because I am very grateful to this forum: It is here that I learned how (and why) to sync my Centro to my computer via Bluetooth, because Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows. This is my way of saying "thank you"!  I'm not trying to be harsh by not following up...  it's just that I won't be checking this thread, and I don't want anyone to have bad feelings if they ask questions and I don't respond.  I'll be as thorough as I can in this one posting, though. 
    Note 5:  I cannot claim credit for actually discovering this solution.  I found it after HOURS of looking online... it was on some obscure website.  Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found the original solution, so I can't credit the discoverer here.  However, I have done my best to provide much more detailed instructions here.
    Note 6:  Lastly, Palm should support 64-bit Windows.  Period.  Some of you may say, "It's not Palm's fault - the company that makes the Palm OS is Access, and it's Access's fault for not supporting 64-bit Windows."  Well, this may be true, but Access has stated that Palm has not requested a 64-bit driver.  (In fact, you can call Access and ask them directly.)  And if Palm doesn't ask (and pay) for it, Access sure isn't going to create one on its own.  I used to LOVE Palm devices...  I've used Palms for 12 years now, and for most of that time, I heartily recommended Palms to all my friends.  But, between this problem and the other problems I've had with my current Centro and my previous Treo, I'm done with Palm.  No more for me.
    OK, here's how to charge your Palm (finally!)
    1)  If you haven't done so already, install the latest version of Palm Desktop / HotSync on your computer.  You can get this at palm.com, under the "support" section.  (Actually, I'm not sure if this is necessary, but I already had done this.)
    2)  As you're installing the software on your computer, toward the end of the process, do not actually sync your Palm to your computer.  Just cancel or whatever you have to do to avoid that step.  (Remember, the whole point here is that Palm does not have a driver compatible with 64-bit Windows, so you won't be able to sync via USB.)
    3)  If you don't already have it, get the PocketTunes application (also known as "pTunes") on your Palm device.  If you have to install the software, you may need to do so wirelessly or via a 32-bit Windows computer (because, again, Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows).
    4)  Connect the Palm USB cable to your computer.  If you are using a desktop, plug into the USB ports on the BACK of your computer.  These ports are directly powered, whereas the ports on the front of your desktop may not be.  You'll want as much juice as possible to charge your Palm.
    5)  Connect the Palm USB cable to your Palm.
    6)  Turn on the Palm device, and open the PocketTunes application on your Palm.
    7)  PocketTunes will try to connect to Windows Media Player (on your desktop).  Tell your desktop to connect to Windows Media Player.  (You can save time by telling your desktop to do this automatically.)  When PocketTunes connects with Windows Media Player, you'll have a power connection via USB.
    8)  PocketTunes will eventually show that it is "Idle" on the Palm.
    9)  To confirm whether the Palm is charging, look for the charging light (on the Centro, it's on the upper left) to turn solid red.  You can also hit the home button on the Palm to see the battery / charging status.  To get the charging working, you may have to exit PocketTunes and come back into it a few times before the charging light comes on.  I have no idea why you have to do this; I just know what I wind up doing sometimes.  You don't have to unplug and replug the phone from the USB cable, or turn the phone off and on.  Just leave PocketTunes and come back to PocketTunes.
    10)  If you exit the PocketTunes application on the Palm, the Palm will still charge - but you'll get the constant and annoying "no driver" noise from Windows.  To avoid that sound, just keep the Palm on PocketTunes while you have the Palm plugged into the USB cable.
    11)  You can close Windows Media Player on the desktop once you have the Palm charging.
    12)  Once you have this set up properly, you can speed up the process by setting the HotSync cable button to PocketTunes - after all, that button no longer needs to be set up to HotSync via USB cable.
    When you have everything set up, here's what you would be doing on a regular basis:
    -- Plug USB cable (which is already plugged into your computer) into Palm
    -- Hit HotSync button on cable --> This starts PocketTunes --> PocketTunes automatically opens Windows Media Player on the computer
    -- See if charging light turns solid red --> If not, exit PocketTunes, then hit HotSync button on cable to start PocketTunes again
    -- Repeat until charging light turns solid red (success!)
    -- Once the Palm is charging, close Windows Media Player on desktop
    Best of luck to all who need this!

    Why do you want to create your own driver instead of what comes with the device? If you go that route, you need all of the low level USB RAW protocol from the vendor. Did you get that? Yoe are wasting your time if you don't have that. Is the driver from the vendor documented? If it's a USB connection, how does that connection show up in windows device manager?

    I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7.  I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade.  The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen.  I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine.  Any thoughts on how to get this working?  Thanks

    If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it.  You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

  • Is RoboHelp compatible with 64-bit Windows 7?

    I'm having a problem with RoboHelp/RoboSource (posted about elsewhere in the forum) and in response to a support query, I received a message stating that RoboHelp is not compatible with 64-bit Windows 7.
    Quoting: "Please ensure that Windows 7 is not 64 bit, as RoboHelp is not compatible."
    This seems to be in conflict with the blog posting by Ankur Jain, Product Manager - RoboHelp, (http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2009/12/adobe_robohelp_8_now_supports_windows_7_also.html) in which he states "I'm pleased to inform you that Adobe RoboHelp 8 now also supports Windows 7. With this, RoboHelp 8 is now compatible with Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 (Service Pack 3 recommended) or Windows Vista® with Service Pack 1 or Windows® 7."
    Now, Mr. Jain doesn't specify 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7, but considering the detail in his posting regarding service packs, I'd expect that a blanket statement like RH is compatible with Win 7 would mean both 32-bit and 64-bit, unless otherwise stated.
    Some questions:
    1) Is RH compatible with 64-bit Win 7 or not?
    2) What about RoboSource? Is it compatible with Windows 7? If so, which versions? 32-bit or 64-bit?
    Also, the tech person said that we also need to try running RoboHelp in "simplified mode." What exactly is that?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi again
    I'm wondering if the "Simplified" bit is stemming from this Adobe Knowledge Base article?

  • Hot synch Palm Vx

    I have a Palm Vx on a Windows XPpro system. It was working fine and hot synching fine until about 2 months ago when a virus came in and I had tech guy reformatt the hd. He loaded desktop 6.2. I don't remember what version i had before it was reformatted. It might have been 6.2
    Now, the Palm says it is synching ok but when I open up desktop 6.2 I don't see any of my memos or phone information that I used to see.
    I cannot tell if the desktop 6.2 is looking at the file flocation where the synch says it is putting the files.
    I CANNOT lose what is on my Vx. I've told my kids that when I die, forget about me but find my Palm! I still love it!!
    Is the desktop 6.2 compatible with a Vx? should I try to go back to 4.1.4? I cannot find my original installation CD.
    Help!
    Post relates to: Palm Vx

    I suggest you revert to Palm Desktop 4.1.4. 
    In the alternative, there is a utility available from pimlicosoftware.com called PalmHotsyncSetup which makes Palm Desktop 6.2 compatible with older Palm devices.  But PD 6.2 was released for Windows Vista and later computers, and there is no reason for you to be using it.
    Good luck!

  • Palm Z22 with bluetooth

    I want to send my contact list from my Palm to my cell phone via bluetooth. Can I do this?
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    Sorry, but the Z22 does not have Bluetooth capabilities. Nor will it work with the Palm Bluetooth Card.
    That is not what the current support site says. 
    I quote: 64-bit Editions of Windows Vista are not supported for USB synchronization. However, 64-bit Windows users may be able to sync through a Bluetooth wireless connection. After installing Palm Desktop 6.2, see: Synchronizing under 64-bit Windows Vista: Bluetooth HotSync setup.

  • Palm TX on 64-bit Windows 7 ???

    For years I had Palm TX with tons of data synchronizing with Windows XP running 4.1.4 Palm desktop software.  Just bought new laptop running 64-bit Windows 7.  Tried to install Palm Desktop 6.2 -- no luck!  Installation encounters error and does not go through.  Tried to install Palm desktop 4.1 -- the installation did not go through either.  What should I do??
    I need to migrate my Palm data from Windows XP running Palm 4.1 desktop to Windows 7 (64 bit) running any version of Palm desktop, and synchronize desktop with client. Any suggestions?  I'm OK even to buy a new version of Palm hardware.   I'm perfectly happy with Palm TX, though, so if I can get it to work somehow with Windows 7 64-bit, that would be terrific!
    What should I do?
    Thank you very much!
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    In its default state my HotSync did not have a Bluetooth option. It allowed me to create a virtual serial port, and this worked successfully except that when I booted up HotSync would continually complain about COM ports not being available. It seemed not to get the one it wanted, and then tried all the other Virtual COM ports set up for Bluetooth (and there were A LOT of them in the default setup). The constant beeping and need to press OKAY on the error message used to annoy me each time I booted up.
    So I found several references about removing thrid party Bluetooth drivers and just using the standard Windows drivers. I found that my system had Toshiba Bluetooth drivers installed (look under Control Panel -> Programs and Features) and with some trepidation I uninstalled this.
    Now I see a Bluetooth option in HotSync Settings -> Connections and it works flawlessly. Well except for the fact that it doesn't write to the hotsync log, so I have no detailed record of what happened or didn't happen — see the adjoining thread on that one. However, I don't think that problem is related to Bluetooth.

  • Sync Palm treo with Mac and Windows

    Have a Palm Treo 650 for both personal and work use. Unse a Windows box at work and a Mac at home. I can sync the Palm with my Mac, and I can sync it with Outlook in Windows, but doing this leads to problems, especially multiple entries in both calendar and contacts.
    What I'd like to do is set the Palm up to sync with Outlook on the Windows box, and have it overwrite the data on the Mac when I sync at home. I can't find options for this in iSync 2 (merge data or overwrite device).

  • Easy Print VI panel not working with 64-bit windows vista

    We have a significantly sized application developed in Labview 8.2.1 that is designed to work on a standalone computer. This application uses "Easy Print VI Panel" to print report pages which are basically front panels of various VIs. The application also prints some report pages using the "Print Report" module. Typically we use the application builder and use the generated installer to install the application on a target computer. We also include the appropriate Run-Time engine and NI VISA 4.1. The applications works exactly as designed on all versions of 32-bit Windows (ME, XP, Vista). Now, when this application was installed on a machine running Windows Vista 64-bit, attempts to print reports resulted in a lot of blank pages. I noticed that the report pages that are based on the "Easy Print VI Panel" module were blank whereas the ones that are based on the "Print Report" module were not blank.
    To further troubleshoot, I created a very small application. The only function of this application is to use the "Easy Print VI Panel" to print the front panel of another VI that I bundled inside the application. I observed the same behavior.  
    From what I can tell, either:
    1. "Easy Print VI Panel" with Labview 8.2.1 is not compatible with Windows Vista 64-bit
    2. The Labview Run-Time Engine 8.2.1 has some incompatibility with Windows Vista 64-bit (I have not tried to install the full development system on the 64-bit Vista computer)
    Any insights as to what may be causing this? or does anyone know of a fix for this issue. I am attaching the latter simple test code to the post.
    Thanks

    Sorry Sam, I couldn't get my hands on a 64-bit Vista machine to tinker with your VI. I got a little obsessed with trying to get ahold of a computer to test it out on, that I overlooked actually taking the time to think about the problem. But, now that I'm thinking about it, which operating system did you build this application on? Sometimes an application that was built in another OS than it's running on will have problems caused by the differences in the OS. I'd like to try building the application in 64-bit Vista and deploying it to another 64-bit Vista machine, but unfortunately, I can't test this out myself. My gut feeling is that the application is acting up because it wasn't built in 64-bit Vista, not because the Easy Print VI or the 8.2.1 Run-Time Engine themselves are incompatible with 64-bit Vista. If you can, please test out that theory. That will definitely help determine if it's truly a bug or not.

    NOTE - This was posted previously under ther PLSQL forum. If this forum is also incorrect, I apologize - please guide me to the correct location.
    Several years ago we implemented the Shell exproc example ( Metalink Note:136527.1) on our NT server – It uses a snippet of c/c++ code and a free downloadable borland compiler. It turned out to be very handy and we have a lot of packages based on it. We recently migrated to a 64 bit Windows 2003 server where the library fails (ORA-06520) and need to recompile the C/C++ code for a 64 bit platform.
    I have access to Visual Studio 2008, but it has been years since I’ve played with C and I’ve never used Visual C++. Does anyone have the clift notes for recompiling this example for windows 64 bit enivronment using Visual Studio? Is there a better compiler (simpler ide) to be using?
