How do I copy info on Palm Tungsten E2 to a sd card?

My Tungsten E2 will not and has not sync to my computer since March.  I want to save the info on my Tungsten E2 to my computer.  I tried to copy everything to a sd card, but it keeps asking in what format.  How can I copy everything on my Tungsten E2 to my computer for future use.  The Tungsten has all my contacts, etc. and I am afraid if I can't get it copied, I may loose all info someday.
I did purchase a Palm T/X, but I can't even copy the stuff from my Tungsten to that now, since the T/X will not come on at all.

The only way to copy "everything" to a SD card is to use a backup utility.  There is an excellent free backup utility called NVBackup which will backup the entire contents of your handheld onto a SD card...applications, databases, preferences, everything.  It has settings to let you automatically run a backup at any time of the day, such as 3:00 am when you are asleep.  You can also set it to only retain a certain number of "cycles", so that the automatic backups do not quickly fill up your SD card.  I have mine set to 3. 
With NVBackup, I have really little need to Hotsync either my TX or Centro to my desktop very often these days, since I rarely use the desktop components of any of my applications.

  • Transferring info from  Palm Tungsten PDA to I-Touch?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer information from my very old Palm Tungsten PDA to the I-Touch? I am trying to save myself hours of needless work transferring everything by hand (yikes!). I would be grateful for any feedback or solutions.

    You need to transfer to your outlook or other address book on your computer that you plan to sync your ipod touch with then sync from there.
    Search the palm site or Google for instructions on how to do this.

  • How can I copy all the info from a contact card in address book to paste into a documnent?

    How can I copy all the info from a contact card in address book to paste into a documnent?

    The advantage goes to FCP7 if you allow that it can copy and paste filters, audio and video, transformations, and other attributes separately.
    You can do that in FCPX too, as all the things you cited are listed separately in the inspector.
    Here's a little gotcha. Let's say you've color corrected a few clips and you've applied an effect to one and want to paste it the other clips. You switch off color correction and copy the clip. You select the other clips and paste effects. What do you think happens? The effect is applied, but the color correction is applied as well, only it's switched off as it was in the first clip, so all the color correction on the other clips is lost. Fun, eh?
    I'll try to replicate your gotcha - but no, that doesn't sound like fun at all!

  • How can I copy my 3gs info onto work computer

    I just received my iphone 4 at work, how can i copy all my info from my 3gs to my new iphone 4? I also just installed itunes at work. Is there a way to take all my info from my 3gs and copy it into itunes at work and then take it and copy it onto my iphone 4?

    All that needs to be done from the same computer. The iPhone cannot be simultaneously "synced" to more than one PC for the same data types. If your home computer has the 3GS backup, then activate the iPhone 4 there and restore all the 3GS info onto it at that time. If you then want to sync the iPhone 4 at work, you will have to give up the sync at home and make the work PC the base.

    Sorry if it wasn't, and yes I didn't deserve the "solved" must have been a error.
    Don't worry, I "solve" plenty and people click the wrong button and give it to themsleves or to the wrong person, so your mistake went towards evening it out a little.
    Thanks.

  • How do I move apps from PalmOne Tungsten E2 to Palm TX?

    How do I move apps from PalmOne Tungsten E2 to Palm TX?
    Apps are:
    Blocks
    Big Clock
    Gobble
    YAUC
    Speed Value
    Mine Hunt

    Non-copywritten apps can be sent via BlueTooth ("Send"), or Infra-red ("Beaming").
    From the Launcher screen, tap the top left corner to open the pull-down menu.  Choose either Send or Beam, then select the program you want to transfer.
    To use BlueTooth, both devices should be paired first, and to use IrDA, you need to make sure "Beam Receive" is turned on in the receiving device.

  • Palm Tungsten E2 HELP!!!!!

    I have had my Palm Tungsten E2 for years now and have always been able to sync it to my desktop, until recently.  I have Windows Vista and we recently installed a Vista service pack to help speed up our computer and I have since not been able to hotsync.  I downloaded Palm Desktop 6.2, but in the middle of configuring my hotsync preferences my computer gave me the blue screen of death and froze on me.  I tried 3 times to install and configure 6.2 and it did this every time.  When I tried to download Palm Desktop 4.1.4 I got an error message saying it can't be installed on my computer.  Before we installed the Vista service pack I had all my palm information backed up on my hard drive on an earlier version of Palm Desktop (maybe 4.0?), but when I tried to install one of these newer versions it deleted the older version and ALL of my data!  I am freaking out because I depend on my palm for everything and I HAVE to have a backup of my information!  Can anyone help? Please?

    Best backup advice is to download a freeware app called NVBackup. Unzip the files to your computer. If you don't already have a SD card for your E2, get one...regular SD (not SDHC) no larger than 2GB. Format it in the E2 using the Card Info app. Then manually copy the NVBackup.prc file you downloaded and unzipped, to the /palm/launcher folder on the card. If your computer doesn't have a SD card reader, you'll need to get one (maybe $10-15). With nvbackup.prc file copied to the card, pop the card into the E2, run NVBackup, and run a backup of your entire E2 to the card. No worries thereafter...set it to run a backup every night (and limit the number of "cycles" to 3 or 4. Post back if you have any questions about how to do any of this.

  • Importing contacts, calendar, etc from Palm Tungsten E2 to iphone 6

    Does anyone know how to import the contacts, calendar, to do list, etc from a Palm Tungsten E2 into an iPhone 6?

    Thank you for the information.  I tried to sync through outlook as the instructions said but had problems with installing outlook on the XP machine, had problems with the Palm software on my Windows 7 machine, etc.  Spent lots of hours trying to get this to work but I think most of the problems were due to issues with my 2 different computers.  Finally found out about CompanionLink.  Installed that software on my XP machine since that is where my Palm Desktop resides.  Had to add the app DejaOffice on my I-Phone.  Synced the 2 together and everything was transferred onto my phone in the Dejaoffice app.  All calendar and contact information was also synced into the I-phone calendar and contact list.  The only thing I will have to copy and paste are the reminders and other notes into the phone reminders and notes and then I should be able to delete the DejaOffice app.  The companionlink software is usually 49.95 to purchase but you can download a trial version for 14 days which works just fine.  It took a total of about 25 minutes to download and sync my Palm and phone and I had previously spent at least 8 hours trying to get things to work.  So frustrating.  But thank you for at least offering some help.

  • HT1751 I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I use a Flash Drive to do so?

    I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). I have IE 8 on Windows XP, and iTunes 10 something. In my Program files list I see iTunes and iTunes (2) and even iPod and iPod (2) where a tech had to back up and do this for me before. I'm just trying to fix it all. I keep getting the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below." I can even run a search and find the folder, but it gives me the same error message. I was planning on using the Microsoft Fix-It tool  to help uninstall then Reinstall iTunes. But I need to backup my library. So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I copy the folder to desktop or can I use a Flash Drive to backup my music? I don't want to do anything until I know for sure how I can backup my songs, and then reinstall them into iTunes. Thanks for any help.

    Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to  'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
    The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
    Thanks for the info.

  • How can I copy file/folders from and to hard drives? How can I have two or more windows of explorer so that I can drag and drop from one hard drive to another?

    Hi,
    I am a new customer (purchased last week) of MacBookPro (latest) and its my first ever Apple laptop.
    I am almost lost to find the operating tools.
    1. How can I copy files from hard drive to computer and vis-a-versa?
    2. Only can browse one but how can I have two or more browses at the same time like in MS windows?
    3. No right click works on track pad?
    4. Is there application/ program compatible to MS office? If so how much and how can I purchase?
    5. Is there AutoCAD program that is compatible to MS Window AutoCAD? and if yes how much and how can I purchase?
    I will very much appreciate if you could email me the with the solution/answers please.
    Regards,
    Khagendra Limbu

    1) For some reason this happens once in a while with FAT32 enabled external harddrives. I have no idea why this happens but it most easily solved by reformatting the drive. First make sure you've copied everything from the external drive to your internal harddrive. You've done this earlier so I assume you know how to do this.
    Now the reformatting part. Open Finder and go to Applications. Look for the folder called "Utilities". Click on it. In it you find a program called "Disk Utility". Click on it. Now look for the external drive. You probably see two entries for the disk. Click on the one that contains the name of the drive NOT the one that describes the disk (Like for example 320.07 GB Samsung S2 Portable Media).
    Now you see four tabs in the righthand part of the window. They're called "First Aid", "Erase", "RAID" and "Restore". Click on "Erase". This opens the tab with (amongst others) a dropdownbox (Format) and a textbox (Name) . In the dropdownbox select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Take note! This selection disables usage of the drive with Windows PC's. If your goal is to share the drive with Windows PC's select the MS-DOS FAT option.
    Enter a label for the drive in the textbox Name. Now click on the button "Erase". This will format the drive.
    Now when it's done you can copy back all the items you've copied to your internal harddrive earlier.
    2) Opening two windows like Explorer on Windows is opening two Finder windows on the Mac. Simply click on the background. In the menubar you items like 'Finder", "File", "Edit", "View", et cetera. Click on "File" and "New Finder Window". Do this two times. Alternatively you can click on the background and press CMD-N two times.
    3) You can right click on the trackpad. This however depends on if you've enabled the feature in System Preferences. In the topmenubar click on the Apple icon and select "System Preferences". Now look for Trackpad in Hardware. Click on it. You see three tabs with the names "Point & Click", "Scroll & Zoom" and "More Gestures". Select "Point & Click" and look for "Secondary Click'. Make sure it is checked and make sure it has written "Click or tap with two fingers" written beneath "Secondary Click". When you're done exit System Preferences. Now select the background and tap with two fingers on the trackpad. This should open the contextuel menu with options like "New Folder", "Get Info" et cetera.

    You can't. Contact info is not stored on a SIM card in an iPhone.

  • How do you transfer info from an external hard drive from a PC to a Mac

    How do you transfer info from a external hard drive from a pc to a imac?

    Expanding on what Niel said, a Mac can mount and read just about any hard drive from a Windows system. It can't write to an NTFS-formatted drive without third-party drivers, but it can read them. So as Niel indicated, you should be able to just connect the drive to your Mac and drag-copy over whatever you want. If you want to save things from the Mac to that drive, then it will need to be formatted either as FAT32 or exFAT, or if it's NFTS you'll again need drivers.
    Regards.
