HOTSYNC WITH PALM DESKTOP LOCATED ON AN EXTERNAL DRIVE

I've been hotsynching between my desktop, laptop and Z22. Recently I replaced the desktop harddrive with a much larger one. I put the old harddrive in a USB external drive housing and now have a nifty 40 GB external drive. Does anyone know how I can hotsync the Z22 one last time with the Palm Desktop info on the external drive? Then I'll install Palm Desktop on the new harddrive in my desktop, and hotsync from the Z22 to the new harddrive.

Is all your current data on the Z22? If it is, install Palm desktop on the new hard drive and sync the Z22 with desktop overwrites handheld selected in hotsync manager.
Another option is to install the version of Palm Desktop that you were using on the old hard drive, copy the username folder on the old hard drive in the Palm folder, Paste the username folder into the Palm folder on the new hard drive. Open Palm desktop and the data should be there.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

Centro will not sync with Palm desktop - Calendar and/or Contacts

I have used a Palm device for many years. Acquired a new Centro. Upon installation of Palm Desktop (on Windows XP) that came with Centro, all contacts, calendar, to do, memos, etc transferred to the Centro during installation.
Subsequent changes to contacts and/or calendar on Centro are not syncing with Palm desktop when Hot Sync is performed. Hot Sync starts and appears to complete normally. To Do list and memos appear to sync just fine. Have tried changing conduits to have Centro overwrite desktop. Have uninstalled/reinstalled Desktop many times.

I have a Centro/Verizon Wireless using Versamail with accounts established for personal POP and Exchange e-mail synchronization. The latter account is for work. Previously I owned a Treo 650p using Versamail.
When I first installed Palm OS Desktop and synched to my Centro device, it was on a Windows XP home computer, and no Versamail accounts were defined. First I downloaded and installed the Versamail version which allowed Exchange synchronization. I exported the Treo650p contacts list to a disk file, and imported it onto the Windows XP home computer into the Palm OS Desktop installed with the Centro-supplied CD. This synched the imported contacts list to the Centro fine. After I defined all the POP and Exchange accounts, synchronization with the office Exchange contacts list worked fine, and still does. Synchronization with the windows XP home computer for contacts seems to still be ok, too regardless of the MS Exchange Versamail account commingling with my personal POP accounts. Maybe the install sequence is overriding the previous posts' notation that MS Exchange mail definition will override synch with Palm OS Desktop?
The problem now is I have a different/second home computer that's Vista os. I installed the Palm OS Desktop and synch with the Treo. The contacts list is not synching to this second home computer, maybe because I didn't follow the exact same sequence as for the Windows XP pc? I can still synch my Centro with my Windows XP pc and that includes contacts.
Is there a way on this second pc to override the MS Exchange contacts override for synchronization without having to go through the exact same install sequence as occurred on the Windows XP machine?

Centro will not Sync with Palm Desktop

I have removed all Palm references from laptop as suggested in: Community Help Forums : Hardware & Software : Software : Re: Syncs fine -- missing all data in Desktop App with no luck.
( http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&message.id=35331&query.id=1042#M35331 )
I have a Windows Vista, downloaded Hotsync Manager 7.0.2 and all data (contacts/calendar) from Palm Centro will not appear in Palm Desktop. I have made sure that:
1. user name in Hotsync is the same as is in Palm Desktop
2. tried different user name (suggested "Test" ) with no luck
3. changed name of device through "prefs" icon (at least, in Bluetooth, Device Name is "Palm Centro") I am unable to find another option to change the name of the device for syncing purposes if it is not through Bluetooth
Any other suggestions? I have made entries into te Palm Desktop calendar, do a Hotsync and the entries from the Palm Desktop entries are not appearing into the Palm Centro, and the Centro's contacts and calendar entries are not showing up in the Palm Desktop.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreaciated!

Do you have the Centro set to sync with Microsoft Outlook by mistake? Look in Outlook and see if your info is there.
If it is, you can run a simple program in your Start/All programs/Palm/PIM Conduit Sync/Sync with Palm Desktop to switch it back.

Can't sync Palm with Mac through iSync, only syncs with Palm Desktop

I have an older Palm Tungsten T3 that I use basically only to run a medical application that I need at work (ePocrates, which has its own conduit and auto-updates itself with hotsyncs). I haven't tried to sync it to my Mac for a long time. I use iCal for my calendaring needs, sync it with my iPod, and ignore the old stuff that's on the Palm, which I hardly ever even sync.
Today I had to reinstall the Epocrates software, and decided while I was at it I'd try to get the Palm syncing with the Mac (iCal, contacts, etc) again because it would be nice for it to show the same calendar data.
I reinstalled the newest version of Palm Desktop from scratch. Installed the ePocrates software on top of it. I have iSync 2.4. My Palm was not listed as a device initially. I chose "Enable Palm OS Syncing" from the menu; iSync then went through a series of steps in which it disabled several conduits (presumably to no longer sync with the Palm Desktop), then told me to enable the iSync Palm conduit through the HotSync manager, which I did.
I now show the Palm as a device on iSync, but it has a yellow caution icon over it and I'm not sure why. Clicking on it shows an options dialog. I chose for the first sync I wanted to erase everything on the device and then sync with the Mac. My syncs appear to work, but when the data is checked it seems to sync only with Palm Desktop. The old junky data on the Palm was not erased as requested. Newer calendar events and contacts from my Mac have not made it to the Palm. The ePocrates auto update conduit is working fine but that's the only part that is.
Any idea what's incompatible, or what I'm doing wrong here?

I have The Missing Sync and used it to sync my palm TX. I am now in the process of trying to get iCal going properly again. No longer have any calender views in iCal and the week views don't show until I have opened a month view and then go back to the week view. Very bizzare. Also have a heap of untitled calendar views in the drop down list option when looking at the info on any event - these calendar views are not accessible anywhere else though.
I'm not sure if it is Missing Sync or something I did wrong at present. Will also throw the problem to the Missing Sync people to see what they say. Will let you know. It seemed to work really well without needing the palm desktop!

Sync with palm desktop not working

I can install programs but it wonb't sync with palm dektop. I am running Windows & with palm desktop V.6.something. Its the latest one i think. I have a Zire 31. I used some software so it will sync programs but even when I save in plam desktop nothing changes! I NEED help!

I have 32 bit. I self installed over vista Basic 32bit. It is Pro Edition of windows 7 now!
This is what i followed to get it to install:
(Thanks smkranz)
Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
If you are using the Palm Desktop from your original installation disc on your Vista desktop, it is not compatible and the Install Tool won't work. This is covered extensively here on the forums and in the Palm Support pages. You will need to use the new Palm Desktop 6.2.2 by Access, which can be downloaded from the Support & Downloads link above...you might have to lie and tell it you have a different device, because PD 6.2 is technically not compatible with older Palm devices. Then, after you install PD 6.2, go to www.pimlicosoftware.com and download/install the free PalmHotsyncSetup utility, which should add compatiblity for your device.
Note, this will probably only work if your desktop is 32-bit Vista. If your Vista desktop is 64-bit, your only hope of syncing is Infrared beaming because there are no 64-bit drivers. You'd also need to use an infrared (IRDA) adapter on your computer.
You also have a non-sync option of installing applications to your Zire, by first copying the .prc file to a Secure Digital card using a card reader on your computer, then putting the SD card into your Zire and using the Copy command to Copy the file from the SD card to the Zire's memory. The file should be put in the /palm/launcher folder on the card first, then you can copy it to internal memory.
Then i set it for Newer Palm PIM devices. Thanks!

Using Treo 700p with Palm Desktop 4.1.4e

Does anyone know if it is possible to sync a Treo 700p with Palm Desktop 4.1.4e on Windows XP via USB?
I have a client that upgraded from a 600 to a 700p but prefers PD 4.1.4e over PD 6.2 due to the lack of colour categories and the increased sync time experienced in 6.2.
Thanks for any insight on the situation that anyone can provide.

Is there a way to export all of my music from my hard drive to an external drive, connected to my computer and have iTunes still work with the music library located on the external drive?

I do not have enough room on my hard drive for all of my music collection and want to export the music files to my external 300GB hard drive rather than purchase and configure a new, larger hard drive for my computer. Can I export all of my music library to the external drive and configure iTunes to always store music there, and operate seemlessly with the music library on the external drive?

I have so many photos in my iPhoto that I can't update with my Time Machine to an external drive. What is another way to backup photos??

I need a solution for photo storage...
Can't run my time machine and store to external drive, probably because i have so many photos...
I either need a way to get more storage on the external drive or figure out a way to store photos

1 - you are fine for now but willneed to do something soon
2 - you can not backup up a 320 GB hard drive to a 320 BG hard drive using Time Machine - TM needs more space
3 - my suggestion is to get at least a 1TB external hard drive (they are cheap - often less than $100) formatted Mac OS estended (journaled) and use it for backup then once that is in place use the 320 GB external hard drive for yoru iphoto library -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

Catalog Location - Laptop or External Drive

I recently purchased Lightroom and have a MacBook Pro with 2 External 500 GB drives. My question is whether or not I should locate the catalog (database) on the laptop or the External drive. Can I have it on the laptop and then sych to the external drive for when I am on a shoot? If I do that and the images are initially on the Laptop how do I relocated them to the external drive and have the catalog be up to date? Or should I have the catalog only on the laptop with images actually stored on the external drives?
I guess I would like to know what strategies you are employing?
Thanks in advance.

I would say USB2 is the problem. If you had a decent interface (Firewire or eSATA) performance would be reasonable. But USB 2.0 absolutely sucks for data transfer. They say 480 Mb/sec but that's a bald-faced lie. If you can sustain 20 MB/sec off a USB 2.0 drive you're doing well, where Firewire 400 (rated at 400 Mb/sec) very typically sustains more than 35 MB/sec and Firewire 800 can go as fast as the drive can -- typical external 3.5" drives do about 45 MB/sec.
Problem is, in their penny pinching ways, PC vendors refuse to spend the extra $1 and thus won't put on a Firewire port. Same rationale that gets you VGA out (thereby crippling your ability to use an external monitor and have sharp text) instead of including a DVI connector.

Had PSE 8 installed on PC Windows 7 with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If I install PSE 12 or Lightroom on this Mac can I use the cat. backup from Windows or must I start from scratch

Had pse 8 on a Windows 7 PC with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If install pse 12 or Lightroom on the Mac will I be able to use the old catalog backup or must I start from scratch.

If you made a full catalog backup using the organizer's backup command, and you did it to a removable drive, yes, you can restore it to the mac. A backup made on discs will not work, though.

Desktop folder appering on external drives

For some reason I keep finding a "Desktop" folder on my external drives. Has anyone else run into this issue? I tried looking through the forum and couldn't find anything.

Yes, I have the same problem. The weird "desktop" folders appear on both external drives and partitions. I know it probably doesn't do any harm but it's pretty annoying. It might be Time Machine related…

HT3986 can bootcamp be used with Windows install disk on an external drive (internal is broken) ?

can bootcamp be used with Windows install disk on an external drive (internal is broken) ?

With Boot Camp, you must install Windows onto in internal HDD (or SSD). If you are referring that your internal Optical drive is broken, you might be able to install Windows from an external drive, but you might not. I have heard varying levels of success with that. I'm not sure what the official stance is, but I do know that if youe machine shipped with an internal optical drive, then you must use that to install Windows using Boot Camp and not swap it out for a "data doubler" and try to install from an external optical drive.

Cannot re-unite T3 data with Palm Desktop! Please helP!

Hi folks
I would be very grateful for some help with restoring my data.
After a laptop rebuild by my company Helpdesk-er, my self-installed Palm Desktop stopped working with an "invalid configuration message. It had previously been working - for years - without a problem. I copied the original data folder (first letter of my user name) to another location, and then downloaded and ran PD414esetup.exe from the PalmOne website. This installed Desktop 4.1.4 cleanly over the old installation (in the same directory). On starting PD414, it defaulted an older user name that it probably picked up from the registry, so I created a new user which matched the name that I had before.
Obviously the Desktop was devoid of content, so I attempted to import the data that I had copied out, starting with the calendar. The only option File|Import allows is the .DBA format, and although my datebook.dat was intact, I could not import it. There was a clutch of .DBA files, corresponding to some of the calendar categories that I had set up (didn't look like all categories). On importing the first of these, PD said it acquired 3 entries, and similarly a couple of others produced single-digit entries - nowhere near the six years worth of data I had before!
I then copied the backed-up data to a new location, and changed the data directory (Tools|Options) to this new location, hoping the data would be picked up. Result: no calendar, contacts or task data, but all the memo records showed up!
The other thing I tried was to copy the backed-up data into the default data directory, but PD wouldn't let me; error to the effect of "not permitted, file in use".
So, at this point, I have a functioning Palm Desktop that has my Memo records but seemingly no way to get back any of my other data (calendar being the most urgent).
Could anyone help re-connecting the data to the Desktop program?
Also, I guess the other option is to do a HotSync and let the hand-held overwrite the Desktop the very first time. I'm not very sure about this, fearing that I might lose the data on the handheld.
What advice would the experts give me?

File extension naming control. Hotsync vs palm Desktop (db or mdb that is the question :-))

I have been using a m125 for years now its time to upgrade. I am going to a treo 750.
I downloaded the current palm desktops(6.2.2) and hotsyncs (7.0.2) When i sy\nc with hotsync, it wants to make files with a "db" extension. When i edit files with the desktop it wants to use files with an "mdb" extension. I have to manualy rename the files back and forth in order to achieve sync.
question: is there a way to control which extension is used?. ive searched the registry with no joy.

Dorset: once again, I am grateful for your effort to explain and provide explanation. And, again, I was not asking for that kind of help, because I wanted to find a major source of documentation and troubleshooting, not trouble somebody to write a single possibly-relevant set of tailored suggestions. Not to be ungrateful--but I must conclude that the only source of comprehensive information would be to dig into the source code. Not likely to occur!
good news, the problem is Possibly Solved:
Yesterday I reverse-engineered the save-to location by making a single new entry in the blank recordless address book, saving that, exiting, and doing a global DOS search of the hard disk for a file of any name with that date and time.
Turns out Palm Desktop saved it to a new user name directory it created itself (where I hadn't been looking because I assumed it would be under MY user name) AND gave that saved file the name Unfiled.mdb, whereas I was looking for address.* on the first bunch of tries. Double whammy: different folder, unpredictable file name.
So I deleted the bogus user name, imported an early-july backup copy of the address book (address.bak), and saved THAT out of desktop. NOW it appears as a 3-Mb address.mdb file under the proper user name. And it's looking hopeful: if I exit desktop, then re-run the program, the 2000-entry address book comes up without further ado. Later I will screw up my courage and try to sync with my Tunsten.
Over the long term, I will be easing out of the Windows and Palm universe--I have too many other things to do than [for brevity and compaint reduction, this essay condensed by author to "that-sort-of-thing."]
