Hotsync occasionally results in an empty calendar in the Palm desktop software.

Hotsync occasionally results in an empty calendar in the Palm desktop software.
Updated to most current version - 6.2. That did not help.
Downgraded to 4.2.1 based on some discussions I read here, but that didn't help either.
Hotsync logs show successful sync when the problem occurs.
Re-syncing repopulates the calendar and gives an error about dates older than 1971.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

  • Palm desktop software calendar problem

    I am having a problem with the desktop software (6.2 version).  When viewing the calendar in the "month" view, as I move forward to the months of November, December and January the program locks up and shuts down.  If I move into those months in the weekly view it works fine.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the speedy response.  However, I read the article for which you provided the link, and I hve also read many other articles that I found via search, but I don't think these will help me.  All of these articles seem to assume that (1) you have a handheld to which you can sync and thereby rebuild the database on the PC, or (2) you have a backup that you created via the Palm Desktop export function.  Unfortunately, I have neither and so I don't think any of these solutions will work for me.
    I did read with great interest an article that stated that recent versions of Palm Desktop have a built-in function that will repair a corrupted Datebook database.  Will this also fix a corrupted Address Book database which is my problem?  
    So, I downloaded and attempted to install the latest version of Palm Desktop.  I was careful to read the instructions that stated NOT to uninstall my current version of Palm Desktop, but to just install the latest version on top of my current Palm Desktop.  However, when I attempted to do the installation, the installer software said it could not install on top of my current software and that I should first uninstall my current software.
    I have some questions now:
    (1) If I uninstall my current version of Palm Desktop, will this destroy my Address Book, Datebook, and Memo databases ( I don't care about the ToDo database)?  If so, what can I do to preserve those databases?
    (2) Is there really a function built in the recent versions of Palm Desktop that will fix a corrupted database?  Is this an "automatic" function that will detect and fix a broken database or is this something I will have to invoke?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Apparently Sync Manager is turned off for syncing my contacts and calendar to using Blackberry Desktop Software - how can I switch it ON?

    I upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 a few months ago.
    Up till then I was happily able to sync mac Contacts and Calendar to my Blackberry Curve 9320 via Blackberry's Desktop Manager (for Mac).
    Since upgrading the software tells me to that Mac Sync Manager is turned off.  I know it isn't because everything else is syncing.
    When I hunt through your support I find that there are solutions for this problem for other Mac OS versions but not for Maverick, so please tell me how I can once again use my business phone happily as I did before upgrading!
    Many thanks

    BlackBerry Desktop Software utilizes Apple's SyncServices technology in order to synchronize Contact, Calendar, Notes, and Tasks information to and from the Mac computer.
    BlackBerry Desktop Software synchronizes information with the SyncServices database, which is synchronized with the desktop applications on the Mac computer (for example: Apple Address Book, iCal, Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook for Mac). BlackBerry Desktop Software does not synchronize directly to or from the desktop applications on the Mac computer.
    Mac OS X Mavericks v10.9 and later does not use SyncServices, therefore, it is not possible to synchronize Contact or Calendar information using the BlackBerry Desktop Software on these versions of OS X.
    For more information on SyncServices and OS X Mavericks, see the following Apple Support article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5847
    Note: BlackBerry Desktop software 2.4 is still supported for use with Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.

  • Latest Organizer update in the Blackberry Desktop Software does not sync Outlook 'all day events' in Calendar properly

    On my Blackberry Torch 9810:
    When syncing with Microsoft Outlook 2007 for an 'all day event' in Calendar, Outlook stores the appointment as from 12:00am to 12:00am so Blackberry Organizer thinks it is an appointment for 2 days rather than one.
    So for example if you make an 'all day event' entry for Feb 25 in Outlook, Blackberry Organizer syncs it on the device as an "all day event" on Feb 25 and Feb 26.  Very annoying indeed!
    Technically Outlook should store it as 12:00am to 11:59pm for a one day
    event.    But since they don't, I hope Blackberry will fix Desktop Organizer
    Software to cope with this issue and send out a new update!
    Does anyone know anything about this?

    I was getting a similar problem... birthday and anniversary and some other all-day events (but not all!) in Outlook were being set to either 1pm-1pm or 2pm-to-2pm, from the day before to the day of the actual event.  e.g. my New Years Day event was being set as starting 31 Dec 1pm and ending 1 Jan 1pm.  The 2pm vs 1pm difference seemed to correlate to the times of the year without/with daylight savings.
    Presumably I'm seeing 1pm or 2pm and not 12am-12am due to my own time zone (GMT +10).
    I made the change recommended by Bifocals and it has fixed this problem.  However, I did need to -manually- go through and change all the events in Outlook back to be proper all day events - that did not happen automatically.
    For those (like I was) wondering how to set the "the corresponding options on the Blackberry"... you open the Blackberry Calendar, then hit the application button, then scroll to Options then General Options.  The Start of Day and End of Day settings are what need to match Outlook.  FYI, I have a Bold 9000 and am using Outlook 2007.
    I'm really hoping that when I next upgrade my Blackberry software that it retains this setting change.  I find it really annoying that some (or all?) other settings (e.g. Mobile Network: Data Services & While Roaming) are reset to defaults on every software upgrade, meaning I have to remember what I set and to go back and set them again after an upgrade.  Grrrrr.....

  • Palm Desktop 6.2.2 will not print calendar

    I have been using the Palm Desktop software long after my Palm expired. I have been using 6.2.2 for over a year (currently on a Win 7 machine) with no problems until today. When I attempted to print monthly calendars for January and February the software printed hundreds of pages, (I let it run to a PDF printer) all of Jan and Feb. All of the monthly information showed in the first. Is this happening to anyone else, or do I need to reload my software?
    Thanks,

    This should resolve your issue:
    Ok, first we need to see if you can sync without calendar checked. On your computer right click the hotsync icon and select settings. Click on applications. Then uncheck Datebook. Close up the menus and try to hotsync if it syncs fine good continue on.
    Next we need to install a program on to your device called DBFixit (here's the link http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm) Download this file on the right side of the page. Then install the application to the device. Once on the device open it up and tap on the blue bar but in the top left select delete calendar blobs and say OK or yes. Then keep running that till you have 0 listed or no blobs found. Then we are going to hotsync with calendar syncing from the device to the PC. Again right click the hotsync icon and select settings. Click on applications and select Datebook. Click on Configure. Then select handheld overwrites desktop. Click ok or done Sync and post back if that fixed the issue.
    If it did then we need to change the sync to sync the files and set that as default. To do that, again right click the the hotsync icon and select settings. Click on applications. Then recheck Datebook. You should be all set at that point.

  • Syncing some items (Contacts, Calendar) on Outlook and others (Tasks, Memos) on Palm Desktop

    On my old Palm phone, I was able to sync my Calendar and Contacts with Outlook and my Memos and Tasks with the Palm Desktop.  I just got a new Palm Treo 755p, and I would like to do the same thing.  I don't want my Outlook Tasks and Memos/Notes to be syncronized, only my Calendar and Contacts.  I want my device Tasks and Memos to go to the Palm desktop.  Is this possible?
    During the Installation, it only asks for overall sync options - it does not break out each item (Contacts, Tasks, etc.) like it did for my old Palm.
    Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
    It should ask you somewhere through the installation what would you like to sync and give you the checklist of conduits. If it's not doing that on your installation disk, try downloading and installing the Palm Desktop Software from Palm's website, http://www.palm.com/us/support/palmdesktop.html
    Hope this helps!

  • Centro HotSync with Palm V6.2.2 Locks up at DATE BOOK - no calendar records on Palm Desk Top

    First let me say that I hate the new version 6.2.2 Palm Desktop and the ongoing problems I have doing a hotsync.  Today, I had to restart my computer as I "uninstalled" a non related program from my computer.  When I restarted my computer and opened my Palm Desktop, all the calendar data was gone.  Since my Centro was recently hotsync'd, I hooked it up and tried to perform a sync.  The device and the desktop "locked up" at the DATE BOOK function.  I found another Forum post where a tech support individual said to "download Pimlico DbFixit Trial version" which I did and ran.  It indicated a problem as: Calendar DB-PDat: Both Description and Note are blank - usually a corrupted record.  Rec=1508 Date= 1/11/09.  I also went into the Palm Desktop and in the "Applications" section found "DATE BOOK" and UN CHECKED it.  Running a hotsync again allowed me to update everything EXCEPT the calendar. 
    HOW DO I FIX THIS AND GET THE CALENDAR BACK ON MY DESK TOP?
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Find the calendar events that Dbfixit found and delete them. Or buy the paid version and it should repair them. Also try hitting the menu button while in Dbfixit (bottom right hand button) Then clicking on Delete/remove all Calendar blobs.

  • Palm TX but want to HotSync with the Palm Calendar NOT Outlook!

    I have a Palm TX with Palm OS Garnet v.5.4.9  I like using the calendar and tasks etc that come with the Palm operating system but from what I can tell I can only sync with Outlook!  Outlook will not print all my appointments off for the week, I have too many and it will cut them off on a print out. 
    There has got to be a way I can use the calendar I love so much from Palm.  I've been using an old Palm IIIe and IIIx and upgraded to the TX.  This is a deal breaker, I hate Outlook its not functionable for me with what I do.  Does anyone have any ideas here?  When I hotsync nothing shows up on the Palm Calendar or Tasks etc.  I have the Palm Desktop by Access application 6.2.2.  I've gone into the HotSync Manager setting but my only options are listed as Calendar (Outlook), Contacts (Outlook) etc and I can change whether the handheld or desktop override the duplicates.  THATS IT!  Should I uninstall and reinstall an older version?  Will the Palm TX work with that?  Its 4:24am my time and I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out the fix for this.  Got to sleep but will be checking for any answers!
    Thanks for any help I can get!

    Hello livingny, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
    Try throwing the "switch" to sync with Palm Desktop.  Somehow, it appears to be set to sync with Outlook now.
    On your PC go to:  Start Button/All Programs/Palm/PIM Conduit Sync/Sync with Palm Desktop.
    That should redirect the info back into Palm Desktop's Calendar app. at your next HotSync.

  • Yahoo Calendar sync to Palm

    I have a Windows XP Home Edition PC and a Palm (Sprint) Centro. I have installed version 4.2 Palm Desktop (per tech support) and installed Yahoo Auto Sync. I am connected to the internet through DSL and from the PC to the Centro by a USB cable.
    Yahoo Auto Sync is suppose to sync Yahoo's calendar, address book and notepad. I do not use Outlook, only Yahoo. My sole intent is to download all of my calendar dates and events to the Centro. I have no use for Sprints' internet or email service.
    Problem:
    Spent MANY hours with Palm Tech support deleting and reloading software with no result. The problem is that the information that is on my Yahoo Calendar does not show up on the Palm desktop or the Centro. The information (data) transfers over but can not be viewed on Palms Calendar. However, if I search an event through the "view" window of Palm Desktop, all of the dates for that specific event can be seen. The data appears not to be "mapping" between the two programs properly.
    In the desktop there is a area to add new events or titles to be viewed. Is there a name I should be using to access the calendar info? Or, just pitch the whole thing???

  • Contacts and Calendar not synching. (Centro, Windows XP, Palm Desktop 6.2.2) Please help!

    I originally posted on the Hotsync forum, and it was suggested that I post my question here.  Important information:  My office uses Microsoft Outlook Exchange, and I have my Centro set up to get my emails.  It also wants to sync my contacts and calendar; however, that is completely unneeded for my purposes.  I need to synch my Contacts and Calendar with my Palm Desktop.  If there is something I have to check or uncheck to do so, please tell me how.
    This is my original post:
    "When I hotsynch, my memopad, my documents to go, everything seems to synch except my contacts and calendar.
    After a few hours on the phone with tech support at sprint, we went for the nuclear option, hard reset, and the temporarily solved the problem, but now it has returned.
    Information that might be important:
    I'm getting a failed to backup 1 file error>PmTraceDatabase>Protocol Error: Handheld file could not be opened (4004)>SYNCERR_FILE_NOT_OPEN.  This may or may not be relevent.
    Anyway, I appreciate any help with this.  I depend on this PDA phone to keep me organized and there's a slight and embarrasing touch of panic to how I feel now that it is not working correctly."
    Post relates to: VisorPhone

    Okay, I'm continuing to do research on this, and here's my suspicion, maybe true or maybe false.  When I set up versamail to get mail from my office's exchange server, it also configured my contact list and calendar to sync as well, and synching with the the exchange server and synching with my desktop software are mutually exclusive.
    If this IS true, then hopefully there is a way to set it up so I synch my email only with the exchange server, and leave my contact list and calendar configured to synch with my desktop software.
    Any feedback or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Tony,
    If you want to use Excel, then I would suggest that you export your calendar spreadsheet as a comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that data into the Calendar application in Palm Desktop.  Then Hotsync your Palm.

  • Sync Address to Contacts and Date to Calendar on my desktop software?

    How can I sync Address to Contacts and Date to Calendar on my desktop software?  Entered info before I discovered that sync to TX only syncs Contacts & Calendar. Thanks!
    Post relates to: Palm IIIc

    Hello!
    The palm desktop application uses Contacts and Calendar fields BUT really its the conduits in your hotsync manager that needs attention.  First be sure to install the Palm Desktop found on your Palm TX CD for it will have both the Calendar, Contacts, Memos, and Tasks conduits also the DateBook, Address, To Dos, and Memo Pad conduits.  The software should be able to identify which of these sets of 4 your device has and use the respected conduits to sync the data to Calendar and Contacts fields in Palm Desktop by just doing a hotsync.  Now in this case be sure to keep different user profiles for each device.  Are you tring to migrate data from Palm IIIc to the Palm TX?  Keep me posted.

    Thank you, aeisha_anis for the steps to correct this problem.  I verified that I must have corrupted calendar data as the PALM Desktop does come up and work when I follow your first 4 steps and remove the data from it.  I can't, however, get through the importing step at the end of your instructions.  I've tried a few times and am afraid I may have messed up the data file as it now is only showing a datebook. mdb and a datebook.bak file under the DateBook folder I copied to my desktop, but no datebook.dab folder as it was showing before and I never did find the datebook.dat file you mentioned.  I still have all of my current calendar data on my Palm Centro but I can't get it to sync with the Palm Desktop without getting the "Palm Desktop by ACCESS Application has stopped working" message.  Do you have any ideas on how to fix this problem?  Thanks much!
