HotSync to Outlook 2002 and Palm Desktop

I use a TX with Windows XP and the Palm Desktop.  I need to do a one-time HotSync to Outlook, but can't figure out how to change the conduit to do that.  How can that be done?  I do not want to permanently migrate to Outlook.
Post relates to: Palm TX

I was able to do the one-time HotSync to Outlook, but now I can't get it to sync to the PDS again.  I've selected that in the conduit selection but it still syncs to Outlook.  I know I had gotten a different selection box where my choices were to sync with the PDS or to sync with both PDS and Outlook, but I can't seem to get back to that place.  Can you direct me?

  • Synching Zire 31 with both Outlook 2003 and Palm Desktop

    I use Outlook at work but not at home so I synch my Zire 31 with Palm Desktop at home.  It works fine synching with both.  I like the Memos and Tasks features better on Palm Desktop, so I would like to use them at work. I'd like my Zire to Synch at work with Outlook for some features (i.e. Contacts and Calendar) but with Palm Desktop for others (i.e. Memos and Tasks). 
    When I use the setup CD, it asks if I want to synch with "Palm Desktop" or with "Outlook and Palm Desktop".  Based on this, it sounds like I should be able to choose the 2nd one and synch with Outlook and Palm Desktop, but I can't get it to do that.  When I choose that option and then go into Custom for synch setup, the only options there are for Outlook.  How can I get it use Palm for Memos and Tasks?

    Hi..  Welcome to the Palm forums.  What it is asking is, for Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Memos do you want them to sync with palm desktop OR outlook?   Its all four or nothing.  When it is both what it means is if you sync with outlook, calendar, contacts, tasks and memos will sync to outlook all others, media, all your settings etc will go to palm desktop.  The main 4 can NOT be seperated its all or nothing.

  • In windows 7 I can hotsync with Desktop 6.2 but I cannot change mail hotsync to Outlook instead of Palm Desktop

    Can anyone help me?
    I have a new computer with windows 7 (64bit).
    My Palm device is a Tungsten T5
    I tried first to install Palm Desktop from the CD (to be able to switch to outlook sync). But this version will not install.
    Then I installed Palm Desktop 6.2 and I am able to Hotsync (via bluetooth) between Palm desktop and my Tungsten.
    For Mail, Calendar etc I want to Hotsync with Outlook. But I cannot get that working. Tried to install outlookconduiter, but doesnot work.
    Probably I need some code which normally will be installed from the CD. But that installation will not work.
    Does anyone know how to solve this?
    Thank you in advance

    Hello Alan,
    Thank you for replying my message.
    But I think I did not explain my problem good enough.
    I will try to be more explicit:
    I know that I don't need to install an outlook conduit. And I already am able to hotsync with contacts, tasks, etc. Only e-mail will not hotsync. The log says ok at versamail entry, but I did not find new mailmessages on my Palm handheld.
    In my Tungsten I have setup an e-mail (veersamail) account.
    On my old PC under XP I did setup (long ago) a versmail account seperatedly. When I tried to do the same under Windows 7 an error says: you must first install a Versamail conduit before you can setup a versamail account (on my PC)
    But my versamail conduit is on the CD I got when I purchased my Tungsten T5. But installing from this CD is not possible under windows 7 (it hangs). When I identified I therefore installed Palm desktop 6.2, which does not include the Versamail conduit.
    I did inspect the original CD but I cannot find anything of versamail. It is included in carrierfiles, I think. But I don't know how to extract and how to find the files I need for the versamail conduit.
    What can I do?
    Only buy a new Versamail conduit??
    Or do you know other ways to get the versamail hotsync working?
    Regards,
    Chris Beumer

    Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums.  In answer to your question NO.  Hotsync will set the conduits for either outlook or for Palm desktop.  Technically you could synce to one, go to the conduits and change them to the other and sync, meaning each time your want to sync you would have to change conduits and this would add a very high probability to data corruption.

  • Reinstall WinXP and Palm Desktop - Don't Want to Lose Data ??

    Hi - searched for this in the forum, but didn't find any answers to my particular situation.  Just need to make absolutely certain I don't lose anything.
    Had to perform a format/reinstall of XP in December.  All up-to-date with service packs, etc.
    Now need to reinstall all my Palm stuff.
    I have all the files from my pre-format stored in a massive hard drive backup on a separate drive.
    My Centro is up-to-date as of December right before re-install; I have added some additional contacts/appts in the Centro since then.
    I have added some other data in Outlook 2003.
    Now, after I install the Palm desktop:
    How would I perform my first hot-sync?
    How do I get all my programs etc. back?  They are on the Centro right now - I don't want to lose them.  Some don't need to sync with computer and some do.  I can't afford to lose the data in these programs.  Will syncing with the phone (overwriting the desktop) allow my programs to stay the way they are on the Centro right now?
    Do I need to do something with the backup I made?  Is it even useful?
    Thanks in advance, and let me know if I'm not making sense.

    Hello!
    Fresh reinstall of Windows and Palm Desktop?  If so then all you need to do is plug the cable into the phone and hit the black button.  Palm Desktop will prompt create new user, just hit yes and your all set!  The hotsync process auto does a handheld overwrite sync style for this inital process.  If you already created the username in Palm Desktop that is the same as the Centro and have not yet hotsynced, rename that user to whatever and then do that sync.

  • Outlook 2002 and iTunes 10

    I’m using Outlook 2002 SP3 with Windows 7 and iTunes 10.1.1.4 with an iPhone 4 running IOS 4.2.1
    I have been successfully synching my iPhones with iTunes and Outlook 2002 for years but since installing the most recent version of iTunes I am unable to synch my iPhone with Outlook 2002 and also unable to synch my IE8 bookmarks (or any other browser) with my iPhone 4.
    I am able to select all the synch options in the information screen in iTunes but when I press sync the boxes become “unchecked” and no synchronisation takes place. However my music and other content syncs successfully.
    I get the error message “iTunes could not synch to iPhone 4 because a session could not be started”
    I’d be grateful for any help
    Thanks

    I have the same configuration. When starting synchronisation it keeps synching but no progress occurs. I have to cancel the synchronisation. Like the parent post synching before upgrade to the latest itunes version worked well. I'm only synching the calendar and only for the last 30 days.

  • Hotsync does not update either Palm Desktop or Outlook

    I have had to move the hotsync of a Palm 270 and a Palm 650 to another computer  (Windows XP) because the primary computers for my wife and I are now on Windows 7.  The hotsync from the Palm 270 says that it backs up successfully (and the backup directory seems to be ok) but nothing shows up in either the Palm Desktop or Outlook.  I have changed the redirection to each one in turn.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Palm desktop 4.2.2 and that doesn't work.  I have installed 4.2.2 on a vanilla laptop that has not been used before for hotsync (has only Palm Desktop on it) and it still does hotsync successfully but nothing show on the Desktop.  I was able to hotsync the 650 previously to the Palm Desktop and then migrated it over to outlook using third party software.  The 650 data was then downloaded to the Treo 750 ok (Windows 6). 
    Now I'm hoping to move the Treo 270 data to the Treo 650.  But I can't get the blankey-blank data to come up in either the Desktop or Outlook.  The Treo 270 is on its last legs and the clock is running for its demise.
    Any suggestions

    What version of Windows 7 are you on, 64-bit or 32-bit? There sre no drivers for 64-bit Win 7 available. You will never be able to sync by cable to this OS. There is work-around using bluetooth, but neither of these device have bluetooth. Also Windows 7 requires Palm Desktop 6.2.2 to work properly.

  • Sync with Outlook 07 on one computer and Palm Desktop on another?

    Hi!  Here goes...Can you set up a Palm Centro to sync with one computer with Outlook (07) and another with Palm Desktop?  One computer is at home (Outlook) and the other is my work laptop which does not use Outlook at this point.  I would like to sync regularly with both.  Also....since my work might eventually switch to Outlook - can I change this syncing option at that point and sync with Outlook 03 on one computer and Outlook 07 on another?
    Thanks for all your assitance!
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Hello dcusuman and welcome to the Palm forums.
    The answer to your questions is yes.  You can sync your Centro to Microsoft Outlook 2007 on your home PC and then sync to Palm Desktop on your work issued computer.  Later on, if your company switches to Microsoft Outlook 2003, you will be able to use a shortcut in your Palm program group to switch the Palm Desktop PIM conduits to the Outlook conduits.
    I am going to assume that you are going to be using Palm Desktop 6.2 that comes bundled on the Centro software CD.  If you do, there is no reason to download or install the Outlook 2007 conduit update from the Palm website.  That update is intended for the older Palm Desktop 4.x and HotSync Manager 6.x.

  • Email and Palm Desktop

    I am an old guy new to computers and just learning.  My question is can the Palm Desktop Contact List be used with any email programs i.e.. Outlook on my computer or must I use the contact list from Outlook to use its email features?
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Nothing that I know of. Also that would be doing things the hard way. Reason I say that is the Hotsync Manager includes conduits to sync to MS Outlook. This way you can sync to the same program easily and email with the same contacts. What you would need is a program that can speak to Palm Desktop and your e mail program. One such program is called Compainlink. You would need to by the software in order to do what you are asking, that is if the software will work with your e mail program.
    Since this also adds another program that is using your data you risk data corruption or duplication. Please keep in mind that I'm just pointing out what others had issues with. Some have no issues with this setup. Others it was a mess from start to end.
    Post back if you have any questions.

  • ISynch and Palm Desktop

    Apple has always been about the user experience. That's the main reason the Steve's developed (yes the ideas came from Xerox PARC, but....) the OS in the first place.
    Apple's latest mantra has been "seamless". To that end, why can I not keep EVERYTHING in synch? Shouldn't it be, following the seamless theme, possible and preferable to push my Hot Synch button on my T5 and have everything in synch? The handheld, palm desktop applications and the Apple desktop applications?
    Impossible you say? I say, first of all, nothing is impossible. And second, it's been done before on the other platform. There was a product from DataViz (I think it was them) that would allow you to synch up the handheld to Outlook (I used just the calendar at the time). When you synched it up, it would synch between the handheld and Outlook AND THEN it would copy all of the updated records to the Palm desktop calendar.
    Is it possible? If not, is anyone thinking about it or maybe even working on it? Or is it just me that wants to have the flexibility of using any application that I have to find the information I want?

    Good thing someone got right back to ya... man I dumped my pre for an HTC Evo. FYI
    There have been posts in this fourm that state that palm is not going to update the desktop OS and only 3rd party apps like Echo will allow you to use the palm desktop software http://www.chapura.com/echo.php <-thats the download page. also if you are going to a 64 bit OS you will have to use Bluetooth to hotsync the device

  • Blackberry Desktop Software and Palm Desktop v6.2

    I am a happy new Blackberry so far, but have come across something that is very annoying.  I am attempting to move the data off my Palm TX, but the Blackberry Desktop does not recognize the version of the Palm Desktop software that I am using.
    What is making this difficult:
    It appears that I have an unsupported version of Palm Desktop (at least from Blackberry's perspective).
    I do not have the option to go to an older Palm Desktop version.  Older versions do not run on Vista.
    I do not have Outlook. 
    Any thoughts?

    Well, I finally got my Palm data transferred.  First, I was pleasantly suprised that Yahoo actually does have support for the Task List, which was the only thing I thought it was lacking.  I performed a sync of my BB with Yahoo and saw that a test entry of each type was uploaded to Yahoo and vice versa.  Therefore, my problem was then a matter of getting the Palm data up to Yahoo.
    Approach 1:  Use the Yahoo Sync tool with the Palm Desktop.
    Result:  Didn't work.  Yahoo Sync doesn't support Palm Desktop 6.2.
    Approach 2:  Save the Palm data to an archive file and use the Yahoo Import tool.
    Result:  Didn't work.  The file format for Palm Desktop 6.2 was not supported by Yahoo.
    Approach 3:  Dig a flaky notebook out of my workshop and install an older version of the Palm Desktop.
    Result:  I got the Palm Desktop installed, then noticed that this notebook had Outlook on it.   I synched my Palm with Outlook, then installed the Yahoo Sync tool.  Performed a sync and all my Palm data was sucked up into Yahoo.  Went back to my Vista machine and ran the BB sync and all the Yahoo data came down.
    Finally!
    Thanks for all your help.

  • 64 bit Vista and Palm Desktop...

    Wow! I've spent hours on the forum and the web because my new laptop has 64 bit Vista (and is a tablet as well). I'm a long, long time fan of the Palm having had an original US Robotics Palm Pro (in fact I still have it and the original box!) I've gone through several iterations and currently own a Sprint 700p -all this time I've been using the Palm Desktop and have loads of notes, contacts, etc. I love the Palm Desktop as a simple way to keep all my personal info together in an easy to access format.
    Now I understand that 64 bit Vista won't sink via the USB but that there are solutions to synch with either IR or Bluetooth (fine, but you lose the ability to power up the 700p -guess I'll have to find the power plug). However, what doesn't seem to be clear is which version of Palm Desktop should I install on 64 bit Vista?
    What happens if I load 4.1.4E under 64 bit Vista or should I use 6.2? I understand 6.2 is missing some features. Would be curious what others have experienced.
    Thanks in advance for your thoughts, inputs, experiences, and opinions!
    Just food for thought... if I can't find a solution that I like; I might just keep my old Dell laptop with XP running and terminal into it from my new tablet. Kind of silly, but what else do you do with an old laptop? Only problem is, I wouldn't have access to it when on the road without having to configure my router and an internet connection; but in theory I should have all my data on the 700p when out of the house.
    Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

    Just to add on to what legendeld said:
    Syncing will work fine in either solution, but I'd actually recommend using 6.2 for two main reasons. The first is that certain functions of 4.1 don't work in Vista. These include the Install Tool for adding files/apps to your device and the help files.
    The second reason is that Bluetooth setup in 6.2 is much easier. In 4.1, you have to create a Bluetooth serial port and then set HotSync to scan that port for incomming connections. 6.2 simply gives youa Bluetooth connection option (as long as Vista recognizes your adapter).
    Creating a serial port is pretty easy with most Bluetooth implementations, so you can still go the 4.1 route. But you won't be able to use the Install Tool if you do.

  • Outlook 2002 and iTunes

    Dear Apple,
    Would you please turn back on the unofficial support you were giving for Outlook 2002? Please?
    As noted in another thread, prior to iTunes 7.4, it worked, even though it wasn't supposed to. In fact, it worked very well, at least on my machine.
    But 7.4 cuts off all support for Outlook 2002. I now have no way to synchronize my iPhone, which is a big problem. There are many good reasons not to want to upgrade to the latest Microsoft Office (the radically different user interface comes to mind). And as others have noted, there is no way to go back to a prior version of iTunes without losing one's music library. This is not a pleasant situation to be in.
    I understand if you don't want to support it officially. But you had it working with Outlook 2002 before. The unofficial support wasn't causing any harm. Please bring it back!
    Thanks,
    Brian

    That's very encouraging. I can tell you that they definitely switched to a single Outlook plug-in sometime in 7.3 or maybe even earlier, called iTunesOutlookAddIn.dll, which is in c:\Program Files\iTunes\. If I right-click on it and choose properties, then click on the "Version" tab, mine shows 7.4.1.2. Your procedure suggests that the 7.4.1.x series is still fully capable of talking to Outlook 2002, but that it refuses to do so depending on the contents of a text file in that .app directory. Very strange.
    Interestingly, the OutlookSyncClient.exe in the Mobile Device Support directory shows version 7.3.20.0, while the OutlookSyncClientHelper.dll shows 7.4.51.1. Maybe OutlookSyncClient.exe is the program that does the actual talking, and since they didn't replace it with a new version, the Outlook 2002 interface code is still there? But the new OutlookSyncClientHelper.dll shuts it off, unless those .app text files have a different version number? The only thing in the .app directory that seems like it would be relevant is version.plist, which in my case shows BuildVersion of 37 and SourceVersion of 190000. I'd love to hear an Apple engineer explain all this.
    Anyway, thanks a bunch for taking a look at this! I tell you what, though, it all suggests that this is at best a very temporary fix. I bet any upgrade that replaces OutlookSyncClient.exe will cut off support for good. One will either have to stick to 7.4.2 forever, or upgrade Office, or keep begging Apple to add official Outlook 2002 support.
