How to sync my Zire 31 with the palm Desktop Software on a Windows 7 PC

Hi everybody
My notebook died (vista) so I had to buy a Windows 7 hp model.
Now I could install the software but the PC doesn't recognize my handheld device.
A sync is not possible.
Can anybody tell me how I can make my device known to the system or do I have to leave the Palm world altogether an buy me an ipod?
I would really like to keep syncing with my palm.
Thanks in advance.

I have accidently established two (2) iclouds accts. This is causing major problems. How do I delete one acct?? Also today I tried to sync my Blackberry 9930 with the BB Desktop software and I lost all my addresses on my BB phone

I lost all of my contacts on my Blackberry 9930 phone while trying to sync it with the Blackberry Desktop software since I upgrade from Mobile me to ICloud on my Mac book. It seems that the Desktop Software can't recognise ICloud contacts/Groups and my calendar will now not sync either. My husband has a Mac Pro and a Blackberry and is having the same problems.
I some how have two (2) icloud accounts. How can I delete one??? Please help!

You can't actually delete an iCloud account but you can remove it by signing out at System Preferences>iCloud if it is the promary account, or in Mail, Contacts & Calendars if the secondary, and then juste ignore it.
The Blackeberry can only sync with data held under 'On My Mac'. iCloud can only sync with data under 'iCloud'.
When you set up iCloud your calendars and contacts were moved to the iCloud server. If you want to use Blackberry you will have to move them back to 'On My Mac' and not sync with iCloud: it's one or the other.
To move calendars, follow the second set of numbered instructions here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmovecalendars.html
To move contacts, File>Export as vCard when you have selected all your contacts, then delete the contacts under iCloud, make 'On My Mac' the default and reimport the vCard.

Any new info about being able to sync my iphone 4 with the Palm Desktop on macs running snow leopard?

Any new info about being able to sync my iphone 4 with the Palm Desktop on macs running snow leopard? Why doesn't someone take a a few hours and write a workaround so I can sync all my info including my Palm notes to my iphone via Palm Desktop without putting it in the clouds or making it complicated? : (

I feel your pain. I am a long time user of Palm Desktop/Claris Organizer and have an iPhone that I really can't sync except by doing an export and import into iCal, etc. You might try Missing Sync. I have been working intermittently with writing a replacement for Palm Desktop, but I've only gotten as far as dumping out the information for everything (except repeating appointments) as an XML file.

Exporting my addresses from the Palm Desktop software to my iPod

I've been using the Palm Desktop software (version 4.2.1 for my Palm Pilot). I want to import the address book onto my iPod video. I can convert the addresses from the Palm software to a vCard file, but can't seem to get it to import to the iPod.
Can anyone help me with this? How do I get it to the iPod?

On your Palm Pixi browse to the Palm Application Catalog. Type in "USB" to find the app CL USB Sync. Install this.
On your PC browse to http://www.companionlink.com/usbsync. This will have a PC Program called CompanionLink for webOS USB. Download and install this on your PC.
These two programs work together to provide full support for Palm Desktop to Palm Pixi via the MicroUSB cable that comes with Pixi. This provides two-way backup for Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Memos. That means in 2-3 months, if you've added a lot of contacts and you drop your Pixi, you'll have full security knowing your contact and calendar data is backed up on your PC. On Pixi, the Tasks and Memos have special screens within CL USB Sync app, which are similar to what Palm Desktop shows. CL USB Sync does not need Wifi and works great on Pixi. It also supports Outlook (all versions), Lotus Notes, and Groupwise on the PC.
You can use all of this for free for 14 days. It's fine to use it for one-time data transfer. Unlike the Palm Data Transfer Assistant, CompanionLink supports all versions of Palm Desktop, including Palm Desktop 2.0, 3.0, 4.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.4, as well as all releases of Palm Desktop 6.2. Telephone and email technical support is provided free of charge. If you choose to use the product past 14 days it is $39.95. Technical support remains free for the lifetime of the product.

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!

HT1491 how do I sync my device with the new itunes software???

With the new upgraded itunes software, I can purchase new music but can't figure out how to sync it to my Ipod. I've looked everywhere to find how to do it. Before it was so easy to drag and drop. Can anyone help me?

You can enable the left-hand sidebar that you used to show on previous versions of iTunes via control-S on a PC - it should then look, and be able to be used, similar to how it used to be

How to sync Mail app with my Palm ?

Hello all,
Anybody knows if there is a way of synching the emails in my Palm with the emails in the Maill app, and also the other way around?
This is because I use Gmail, and there is no option to leave the messages untouched in the server so that I can download them by POP in 2 different devices.
When I'm at home I like to use my Mac to check and write e-mails, but when I'm out I use my Palm to do it.
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Palm Tungsten C

This is because I use Gmail, and there is no option to leave
the messages untouched in the server so that I can download
them by POP in 2 different devices.
Not sure about the Palm software but the Mail.app includes a setting for a POP type account to remove or not remove messages from the server when downloaded.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Advanced tab for the account preferences, deselect "Remove copy from server after retrieving a message:".
The Palm software used to access a POP type account should include the same.
A Google search is your friend. When doing a search with "Palm sync with Mail.app", I found the following:

Unable to Install Universal Wireless Keyboard with the CD that came with the Palm Tungsten E2 on my Windows Vista OS. Can some help? Would Appreciate it very much.

I recently bought a Palm Tungsten E2. I have been unable to install the Universal Wireless Keyboard software that came with the E2. Went online and downloaded the version 1.13 UWK and that would not install either. What did I do wrong?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

For Vista that version will not let you install programs. Good news though is we have a version you can. Go here, http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html and install this on top of the version you already have. There is going to be a few changes on the desktop, there is no quick install, but the install tool.
Once you have that done just double click on keyboard and it will ask you your hotsync name and sync and your done.
Oh as a side note the check if this is your solution is only if the answer solves your original question.

How to print day per page on Palm Desktop?

I have a .dba Palm DateBook file taken off a Palm Treo 650 phone. I would like to print the calendar entries with the entries for one day per page. However the Palm Desktop software appears to only provide for one whole month to be printed on a single page. Does anyone know how I can print the calendar entries for a particular day on a single page?

Palm Desktop software - Fails to open with msg "Error: Failed to open Address Book database"

In July 2009 I dropped my trusty Visor on a tile floor and it stopped working. So, in the meantime I have been using only the Palm Desktop software.
Just yesterday, when I attempted to launch the Palm Desktop software, it failed with the message “Error: Failed to open Address Book database”. I think this error was caused by a very ungraceful shut-down of my Win XP system yesterday.
I really do need to use the Palm Desktop software for my address list, calendar, and memo. The problem is that the error with the Address Book database seems to be preventing the Palm Desktop software from initializing.
I am using Palm Desktop 4.0.1 on Windows XP SP3. I do NOT have an export file of the Palm address book or other databases. However, I do have five levels of backup history on my external Maxgor backup drive.
Specifically, on my current c drive I have files in the directory:
C:\Program Files\Handspring\WR\address
            address.bak                  5/16/2009   (from last sync before I broke Visor)
            address.dat                   5/24/2011
            Personal.ABA   11/6/2008
            Unfiled.ABA    3/28/2008
On my most recent backup of my system, there are the following files:
                        address.bak                 5/16/2009   (from last sync before I broke Visor)
                        address.dat                  5/12/2011
                        Personal.ABA   11/6/2008
                        Unfiled.ABA      3/28/2008
I have not listed the four older backup versions.
I haven’t tried any corrective measures yet (I don’t want to make matters worse) and am hoping that someone can guide me along the right path.
Is it possible for me to just rename the “current” address.dat file to something like address.SAV and then copy the Address.dat file file with date of 5/12/2011 into the current directory. Will the software then just use the older version of the data, or must I do something else.
I am grateful for any assistance. Thank you very much.

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.

Palm Desktop software - Fails to open with msg "Error: Failed to open To Do List database"

In July 2009 I dropped my trusty Visor on a tile floor and it stopped working. So, in the meantime I have been using only the Palm Desktop software.
Just a couple days ago, when I attempted to launch the Palm Desktop software, it failed with the message “Error: Failed to open To Do List database”. I think this error may have been caused by a very ungraceful shut-down of my Win XP system the day before.
I really don’t care about the To Do List data since I really don’t use it --- in fact, I haven’t used it in many months. However, I really do need to use the Palm Desktop software for my contacts, calendar, and memo. The problem is that the error with the To Do List database seems to be preventing the Palm Desktop software from initializing.
Just guessing, I saved the todo.dat and todo.bak files by renaming them, and then renamed the todo.bak file to todo.dat. Then I attempted to launch the Palm Desktop application, but it failed with the same error “Error: Failed to open To Do List database”.
I also tried renaming all of the todo files so that none had a name of todo.dat or todo.bak. The result is that the Palm Desktop software still will not start up.
I think I am using Palm Desktop 4.0.1, at least that is what the help text file seems to tell me.
I am grateful for any assistance. Thank you.

Your on the correct path by saving the data by renaming the files. But to resolve this error we need to remove the data all together. Since you no longer need this data if you just delete it then it should not matter. If Palm Desktop is giving this error but will not open I doubt that the data can be recovered in any event.

Palm Desktop Software

I have had this Palm for awhile. I used it on my work computer but changing to home computer. I downloaded software from website. I can sync the Palm to the Palm Desktop Software without a problem or errors. When I open the desktop software, it won't let me open or click anywhere on the screen. A box pops up with the following information;
Palm Desktop Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
It gives me 3 buttons to click: Debug, Send Error Report, Don't send. If I click on Don't send or Debug, the window will close. I have removed the program and downloaded again, but I have the same experience.
Any help would be welcomed.

First thing is first that text size is really small and I have horrible eyes.
Ok next is the troubleshooting, what we are going to need to do is figuring what is causing the palm desktop to crash, I bet it is your data, so lets see if I am right.
You first need to locate your userfolder, it is located in program files/palm/username/
Once you have your user folder in that folder you will see a bunch of folders, I'm first concerned with datebook. Go in datebook and look for the datebook.dat file, cut that file out of that folder and place in the root of your userfolder.
Going back into palm desktop (if it opens without error) you will see your calendar is gone.
Next you need to tell palm desktop to open in something other than address or calendar I usually suggest memos. To do this you can go to tools/options and change the view palm desktop opens in (default is address).
Once you have it changed to memos you need to put your calendar back into palm desktop. So close palm desktop and go back to your userfolder. Grab the datebook.dat file off of the root of your username and place it back in the datebook folder (it will ask you if you want to overwrite the existing files, tell it yes)
Ok so your calendar is back in your username time to go back to palm desktop, relaunch palm desktop and this time go to tools/options/tools and and check for corrupted records, it will scan your database and fix any corrupted records it finds, tab over to calendar and see if it crashes if it doesn't you are good to go.
Also on a side note if it still crashes with your datebook out of your username, move your addressbook out also, usually the culrpit is calendar but i have seen contacts cause the problem also and on rare occurances both.
Post back if you need more information or any clarification.

Palm Desktop Software ver 4.2.1 problem

I have recently switched to Mac and, after having upgraded OS X to 10.4.8 I installed the synchronisation software for Palm ver 4.2.1. The installation worked fine and it was confirmed that it was successful. When I try to synchronise, I get the following error message "You do not have the necessary access privileges. See the administrator for assistance." I am logged in on a administrator account, which is the only account set up on the machine. If I try to open for example the Palm Desktop application directly, the splash screen is shown for two seconds and nothing more happens, the application does not open and there is not error message. I have tried Palm support and have uninstalled and reinstalled on their advice. I have verified and repaired permissions with disk utility. Anyone understand what could be going on?
MacPro 2.66 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

What problem are you trying to solve? If you want to remove all signs of the Palm desktop software, what I did was open up a finder window, and then I searched for "Palm" and deleted everything that came up, except the Palm folder in my Documents folder.
Until I finally divorced myself from using the Palm desktop software, I had to repeat this operation several times.
The Palm desktop software is absolutely horrible. I suggest you move to Missing Sync by Mark Space software or use Apple's built-in iSync and forget about the Palm desktop software. You can get Missing Sync online from http://www.markspace.com
