How to reinstall Palm desktop for Windows without losing all my desktop data

I use a Palm T|X and Windows XP Pro.  I was using Palm Desktop 4.x but decided to upgrade to the latest version. 6.2.2.  I have had a lot of problems since then, HotSync does not work properly with CalorieKing and Palm Desktop complains about "switching users" each time I try to open Contacts.
I want to uninstall Palm Desktop 6.x and reinstall Palm Desktop 4.x.  I know that my data will be safe if after the new install I tell HotSYnc to have the handheld overright the deaktop.  However, what about the programs?  Will they also get transferred from the Palm back to the desktop?   Will the conduits be set up correctly for Documents to Go, CalorieKing and my other applications, or will I have to reinstall them?
Post relates to:

The programs are still in place, but how does the "new" copy of Palm desktop know they are there?  Also, there are copies of the programs that are installed only on the Palm but not the Windows machines in one of the Palm desktop folders that use used to restore data to the Palm T|X. How do I save that data, without having to install all those programs yet again, even though they already exist on the palm?.

    You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
    Have you seen this.

    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

    Thank you Thomas
    First, for changing my question to the right forum. I am new on this and wasn't aware I was in the wrong forum.
    Secondly, even though my initial question is not answered as in: I just want to remove Classic, what you say is right. I think now, after writing my long question and seeing your answers, that I should start from scratch.
    To answer your question, I bought the new drive to be able to store and back up into DVDs and CDs all the photographs and movies that are still in the computer. I also need to make CDs of my portfolio since I am trying to find a new job and buying a new Mac at this point is out of the question. To upgrade the computer: I just do not have use for OS 9 anymore; I cannot upgrade to the latest Java, Safari or have issues with Flash or other programs; the programs that I have and need will still run perfectly fine or better in Leopard. And even if I could buy another computer I would still like to hang onto this computer for a while.

  • HT4972 How the heck do I stinken update my Ipod without losing ALL OF MY DATA!!!

    Hello, I would like to know how to update my ipod without losing all of my data (apps, music, ect.) could someone tell me please?

    All that is required is to sync your iPod Touch with iTunes. This creates a complete backup of all its content.
    If you read the instructions for updating iOS it cautions you to back up first.

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

    How do I update to Itunes 11 without losing all my stuff on my current itunes (10.6.3)

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You won't lose songs when you update iTunes to the most recent version, but I recommend you to make a copy of your library in another folder. After updating, open iTunes and it will update the library to use it with the most recent version

    What is the proper way to reinstall iTunes after error 42404 without losing all my music?

    Here's what I do when I have iTunes problems and it works 9 out of 10 times.  I have Ccleaner; It's a wonderful tool to have.  If you don't have it, google it and install it, just the free version.  You'll see the list of all of your installed programs in there to unstall (among of a host of other things you could do with that program) but anyway, right click on Apple Software first to repair, when done then right click on Apple Application Support to repair, then when done with that, right click on iTunes to repair that and all should be well after that.  No uninstall should be necessary at all when you do all that.

  • How to copy Palm Desktop data to a PC using Windows 8.1

    If like me you still find the Palm Desktop data (address, calendar, memos, etc.) handy and use it long after throwing away the handset and "sync" ability, you may find this useful.  I bought a new PC using Windows 8.1 and had problems transferring data because of a wrinkle that I figured out, which didn't exist in Windows XP, Vista or 7 versions.  Here's a recap of one way to easily transfer data from those earlier versions if you have a USB flash drive (or Dropbox, Google Drive, whatever) handy :
    1) Download Palm Desktop 6.2 or 6.2.2 to your new PC.  Then give a user name exactly as it exists in your old PC's database.  This name will be used by Desktop software to create a six letter folder name (an abbreviated version of your name) to hold data that Palm Desktop will look up.  Wait a few seconds for this to happen, then close the Desktop application on your new PC.
    2) In your old PC from where you want to transfer data, look for the folder called "Palm OS Desktop" which should exist in "Documents" under "Users" folder and subfolders path like >your name subfolder>Documents in Windows 7 (may be Vista too) or may be under "Documents and Setting" folder in Windows XP. 
    3) In this folder "Palm OS Desktop" look for that six letter subfolder of your name, and select that entire subfolder and choose "Copy" or Ctrl-C
    4) Locate the same subfolder name in your new PC (which will have null data), delete it, and then "paste" the subfolder you "copied" into the same exact location.  If you've done it right, Viola!  Your new PC desktop should show all the transferred data once you again open the application.
    Most of the same procedure works with Windows 8.1 (probably also Windows 8) PCs.  What I found different was that the data subfolder created under "Palm OS Desktop} had 7 instead of 6 characters with a "0" (zero) added as the last character.  So when you finally copy and paste that subfolder into the new PC you have to rename it and add that "0" for the Palm Desktop to locate this data.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to upload Palm Desktop data to Google?

    I am trying to transfer my Palm Desktop PIM version 6.2.2 (Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Memos) data to related Google services.  What is the best way to accomplish this transfer?  I realize there will likely be multiple steps in the process.
    Relative to the Palm Desktop PIM--
    Maybe the best way to transfer the Contact and Calendar data to Google is via Palm's Data Transfer Assistant?  It's not clear if this will work as I have an older Palm Treo 700.  If yes, will this also handle the transfer of Tasks and Memos?
    - The Palm Desktop software will do an export of Contact and Memo data to CSV files, but it will only do "archive" exports (i.e., only usable by the Palm Desktop Software) for Calendar and Task data.  Is the best option to follow Google instructions on importing CSV file data for the Contact and Memo data?  If yes then how would I import the Calendar and Memo data to Google?
    - Is there a particularly good 3rd party software that can handle the transfer of some or all of the Palm Desktop data to Google?
    - What is the best Google service to which I should transfer the four kinds of Palm Desktop data?  For the Palm Calendar data it is clear that I should transfer to Google Calendar.  For the Palm Address/Contact data it looks like I should transfer to Gmail Contacts?  For the Palm Tasks data it looks like there is a related Google service within Google Calendar?  So far I have not found a likely Google service for my Palm Memos data.
    Thanks for your help!

    I'd like to correct poeta slightly in saying that CompanionLink synchronizes Palm MemoPad items to Google, and has done Memos since June 2009, around the time the Palm Pre came out.  For Google, because there is no Memo app, CompanionLink moves Memos into the contact list into a distinct area.  The Memo title becomes the contact name, with the Memo itself held in the Contact note.  The name is made distinct by adding |M| to show it is a memo, and to sort to the bottom of the Contact list.
    All CompanionLink products synchronize Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Memos, from any version of Palm Desktop.
    CompanionLink is free to use for one-time data transfer.  You can make any use of the trial full-version for 14 days.  Later, if you wish to continue using Palm Desktop, you can purchase the product for $39.95 one-time fee.  This includes free telephone technical support, which you can use to answer any questions that come up when you move your data.
    I hope this information helps.

  • I have an old ipod that got put through the washer. I want to restore it but i already have a new ipod. How can i restore my old ipod without losing all of my new itunes songs?

    I accidently put my old 2nd generation Ipod nano through the washer a few years ago. Well after that it would no longer work do to water damage. After a while i got a new Ipod (the same type) and was able to get new songs to put on it and what not. Well i was playing around with the one i washed opne day and found that i could still restore it on iTunes. However, it wont let me restore it without losing all of my music and what not that i got for the new one. I would like to continue to use the old one, but I am afraid of losing all of my current stuff. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can restore the old and keep the new? I am in desperate need.

    Well, two thoughts.
    The battery has completely discharged and will take overnight to recharge, so don't expect much in an hour.
    The battery has deep discharged and is now dead. It will never recharge and should be replaced.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task. Start with Google to search for these.
    The flat fee for a battery exchange is, I believe, $99.00 USD.
