I'm having HotSync problems for my PalmZ22 on Windows 7 Computer

I downloaded all of the data that came with my Palm Z22 but the hotsync does not work. a message that says "The selected port, COM3, is not availble at this time. HotSync Manager will open the port when it becomes available." always pops up when i click on the hotsync manager icon after 10-30 minutes of me staring at the screen. when i go under setup, there are no other ports to swich to and when i hit ok the same message pops up immediately. i unplugged everything in my ports but the same thing happens and it seems like no one else has this problem. what is a "COM3" and how do i fix the problem i have?
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Hello lis2013 and welcome to the Palm forums.
"COM" is the short name of a serial communications port, most commonly found on non-Mac computers.  3 refers to the third COM port.  Most new computers only have 1 COM port, if any, on them these days.  USB has by and large replaced serial com ports.  So that's the long and short of COM ports.
You'll want to go into the HotSync Manager on your computer and make sure you are setup for USB HotSync not COM ports.
And, while we're on the subject of Windows 7, USB, and HotSync, you'll want to read this thread on how to HotSync your Palm Z22 with your computer.

  • Has anyone had any luck returning there iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac....  Looks like folks have been having this problem for months

    Has anyone had any luck returning their iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac....  Looks like folks have been having this problem for months & months .. The Apple tech told me that all I could do is wait for Apple to come up with a fix... Got a new router this week so that isnt' it.  Would I be better off w/o this until Apple gets their act together?  I downloaded the combo update 10.7.3 & it helped for about a day...  yesterday I still had to manually reset the connection but now it's resorting back to disconnectiong w/o fully going into sleep mode first.  Sorry to say this is a major lemon.  Help!

    Seems unfair... I thought I was probalby having a router problem...  got a new router this week. Thst's when we realized we have a computer problem.  My next door nieghbor got zero sleep staying up all night while trying to help us figure out what the problem could be. He said if it were him he would have returned the iMac / Lion.  Got the new iMac w/ Lion for Christmas but didn't realize until this week that Apple is the problem....  Hard to believe that Apple just has kept on selling this like ... oh  No problem!  Can't stay on the internet... but will sell you another one today!  I'm getting mad...  It's not every day we spend that kind of money on a computer .  & ALL they can give us is that LOUSY Lion combo update.  I can't even stay connected long enough to make a vitamin order with Puritan's Pride...  & then the disconnection wipes out my cart... so I have to  start over. When are they going to fix this!   'Not feeling very positive'.  I feel like Apple KNOWINGLY sold my husband a defective... system.  14 days... oh please...

  • I just got a used Canon ZR850 and I'm having trouble downloading my video onto my Windows 7 computer

    I just got a used Canon ZR850 and I'm having trouble downloading my video onto my Windows 7 computer. I have a FireWire that works fine with my ZR830 but not with the 850.  The connection isn't registering.  What can I do?

    Without proper system information and other details nobody can help you. and this error means what it says - some other install process is still active, even if it may not do so visible. Could be a silent update of a virus scanner or something, could be a botched install of another program, not even specifically Adobe. As a start, always reboot your computer and then try again. For anything else we need much more info.

    hello every body,
    For:-
    HP DV6-2170ee with I7 720 qm processor
    System: Windows 7 Professional SP1 32 bit
    I have a strange problem, while i am working on battery processor can boost up to 2.6 but when i connect it to the Ac adpater charger, no boost is there?!!!!
    Checked through internet and did the following:-
    1-update the bios.
    2-check power option and use the same settings as in battery mode.
    3-observe processor temperature through CPUID HWmonitor, it's almost 65 lower than 67 in the battery case.
    4-searched allover the whole internet google .. yahooo ...
    5-Each time i try to install the SP50038 which is the driver for the inter turbo boost, it gives an error message "your pc doesn't meet the minimum requirement"
    TIll the moment no solution, could you please help me ?
    Thank you for your time ans i hope to receive solutions soon ..
    Thanks in advance ;-)

    Hi,
    To answer your last question first, the Turbo Boost Technology Driver is only intended for processors with an integrated GPU - the i7-720QM does not have this.
    More difficult is why you observe no Turbo Boost on AC Power.
    Try the following.
    Shut down the notebook.  Tap away at f10 as soon as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    When windows has reloaded, download and install the Turbo Boost Technology Monitor from Intel on the following link and see what this shows.

  • Oracle Database XE - apex on Windows 7 - Problem with Connection from another Windows 7 Computer

    Hello,
    I started with Oracle Database XE 11g, with apex, did the upgrade to Apex 4.2.6 and started in developing a small Application.
    I wanted to Connect to my Computer A (with Database runing on it) from another Windows 7 Computer B.
    So I put in in Firefox: //A:8080/apex but I only received a timeout.
    Of course on both Computers there is a windows-Firewall running, so I stopped on both Systems the Firewall, but its the same still.
    In the windows explorer running on Computer B , I can see the data of Computer A and both Computers are in the same home-net-group. (sorry for my poor english).
    Is there anyone who cann tell me how to get the Connection running ?
    Maybe I didn't see the info about this in the manuals, if it is there, please give me a hint.
    many thanks

  • Sharing a network for WiFi with a Windows 7 computer

    How do I share my wi-fi with a WIndows 7 computer? I tried looking at the Wi-Fi networks available on the windows computer but my network name made from my time capsule doesn't show up.
    I need step by step instructions

    TC wireless name by default are not SMB compatible..
    Go to the wireless setup in the Airport utility and change the TC name and the wireless names.. to short, no spaces .. pure alphanumeric.
    Does it now show up?
    Load bonjour for windows..or just the airport utility for windows which should include bonjour.
    Are you sure wireless is working on the win 7 computer? Can you see other wireless networks?
    How old is the TC? How far away from the Win 7 PC.. can you bring it into the same room?

  • Been having iTunes problems for months - now it won't work at all

    Hi there,
    For the last few months, iTunes has been failing to update (halfway through download it throws up an error saying the update failed. Trying to update manually threw up the errors I've linked to below). So I decided to try to fix it at last, I uninstalled iTunes and tried to reinstall, during the installation I encounter the following error:
    http://twitpic.com/9azkja
    Clicking "OK" led to a few minutes more of it trying to install itself before this popped up:
    http://twitpic.com/9azkmu
    "Retry" causes the error to repeat, "Ignore" leads to the installation saying it's successful, yet when I try to launch iTunes, this happens:
    http://twitpic.com/9azkpa
    Followed by this:
    http://twitpic.com/9azkrr
    Trying to repair the programme causes the same errors.
    I'm running Windows 7 and haven't had any problems with other programmes that I'm aware of although Windows Update has been a bit dodgy for a while (some updates after downloading claim to be installed yet on restart Windows Update still identifies them as due to be downloaded and this process repeats over and over). I haven't made any hardware changes to my system lately and can't think of any software changes around the time the problems started or at all lately. I'm definitely running with administrator privileges.
    Any suggestions or advice at all would be very gratefully received.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    I can't say I've had the issues myself BUT what I would reccomend is:
    1. Completely remove iTunes from your computer and associated registry entries by using a tool such as CCLeaner
    2. Make sure you are completely up to date on windows redistributable packages and other updates.
    3. Make sure you've selected the appropriate version for your computer i.e. x32 for 32-bit systems and x64 for 64-bit systems.
    4. I've just had a quick Google around and as I said above with the redistributable packages in particular look at Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Securty Upfate which can be found here:http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=14431
    For removing iTunes completely, it may be helpful to read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    For your second error message about the entry point not being found, I found the article https://discussions.apple.com/message/11901253?messageID=11901253&amp%3b#1190125 3 helpful.
    Hope this helps,

  • I am having major problems restoring from Time Machine. The computer tells me I have completely restored but no data is available in the various applications.

    I had backed up all my data to Time Machine, then securely deleted all data on my MacBook Pro and reinstalled Snow Leopard, prior to having Apple replace a faulty Airport card. I went through the normal restoration process from Time Machine, which took quite some time (about 2.5 hours for 240 Gb of data, including applications) without giving any indication of a problem. However, although the computer indicates that 240 Gb has been reinstalled on the hard drive, data such as photos, music, documents, IOS apps, movies, etc , is not showing up in the relevent application i.e. photos in iPhoto or mobile apps in iTunes. Even though application icons were visible in the dock, they would not open. I spent two days (one hour one day and five hours the next) at the Apple Genius Bar trying to find out what the problem was, without any success. No matter what was tried, no clear solution was evident so I was given a manual workaround to bring back banks of files one at a time, which has given me some workability. All data is obviously stored on the external hard drive, but restoration has not been successful. I have successfully used Time Machine to restore all data from a previous MacBook to my current MacBook Pro without any hitches whatsoever. The only difference this time is that I have two separate accounts on the Pro, which may be causing the problem. I can restore items manually from either account but they all go into one account. Also, when manually restoring photos or music from Time Machine, I am unable to select the relevent location for this data, i.e. iPhoto or iTunes. The only way I got these into the relevent application was by putting them into a burn folder or onto a thumb drive and then dragging them into the dock application. I am not very computer savvy and feel totally out of my depth to manually restore everything back to where it was before the clean install, particularly the two user accounts, which I would loke to have back again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Rob.

    Have you made sure you are using the high performance profile? Here is where you can check:
    Double check you performance profile and make sure its on HIgh Performance. Also download CPU-Z to monitor your CPU speed. Im unsure if the turbo boost applies to all the cores of the processor. CPU-Z will give you a better idea of whats going on.

  • How to resolve some install problems for 7.02 on Windows 7 64 bit

    This is a short re-cap of some of the issues I came across when installing NSP 7.02 on Win 7 system. I'm posting it here rather than writing a blog - there are numerous excellent guides already out there, but the particular issues below meant I had to collect info from several other posts, search other forums, and also do a bit of research on my own. Therefore, I hope that this post can be useful for those who - like me - had to resort to searching the forums... sometimes in vain.
    Installing the 7.02 Sneak Preview on a 64-bit system is not that straightforward, but "doable". I've just spent the weekend successfully installing on two systems; an HP Touchsmart laptop (i3 processor) and my trusty Dell desktop (Core 2). Both machines have 4Gb RAM, barely sufficient, but the thing is up and running. At last.
    Compared to earlier Sneak Previews, or the 32-bit varieties, this is no walk in the park. Definitely not like the first 2004s, which ran as smoothly as a knife through butter (at least on XP).
    Here are my own tips, based on the issues I experienced:
    Phase 5: Failure to start MAXDB instance - installer reports no MAXDB software installed. Curiously, this happened on one of the machines, not the other. Even weirder, it happened on the machine that had previously had a MAXDB installation (which was wiped clear before installing).
    I got around this one by manually installing MAXDB. The steps were:
    Launch the 64-bit MAXDB installer - sdbinst.exe - from the 64-bit MAXDB directory (NOT the 32 bit, which won't run on your 64 bit system anyway). It's in one of the sub-directories - search for it. Use it to start a manual install of MAXDB, and select the "tutorial" database. This will install a sample (256Mb) database on your system. Now, re-start the miniSAP installer, and you should pass phase 5 without issues. (See info below on the STATISTIC file!)
    ABAP import issues: If the ABAP import step fails, with at least one of the 37 import jobs failing, this could help:
    Break off the installation. Go to the sapinst_dir\...\ADA\CENTRAL directory, and delete all .TSK files and their related .TXT counterparts. These are (to my knowledge) created during the ABAP import, based on the DB schema files that are used for the ABAP import. If you remove these (or at least the ones that caused the import to fail), it will re-apply them when you re-start the installation and select the option to use existing installation.
    Also remember to delete the "statistic" file in the same directory - it will generate an error if you do not get rid of it before re-starting the installation.
    Usually, this is enough to ensure the ABAP import works.
    Install license and developer key:
    The system calls itself "SAP-INTERNAL", not "DEMOSYSTEM". This is somewhat confusing, as the NSP license key you request from SAP will not load due to different installation names. The workaround is to DELETE all temporary (pre-installed) licenses. Mark them, right-click, then delete. Make sure there's NOTHING left in SLICENSE, then upload the file you got from the license request page (NSP, 2004s Service pack 9 or higher). This should work.
    Only now can you use the developer access key of BCUSER.
    Remember, every time you re-start the installation and select the "use old" option, you have to remove the mentioned "statistics" file from the ADA\CENTRAL directory, since it keeps track of what has been done so far.
    This version seem to suck resources like no other sneak preview has done before. I'm looking forward to installing it on a new, powerful machine - just have to get around to ordering it first...
