Installing Hot Sync on Win XP for Zire 21

I am trying to install the Hot Sync Palm OS software on My Windows XP Pro system. When I start the PalmDesktopWin414En.exe file it starts to install, then stops and gives the error message: "Error 1327.Invalid Drive:J;\." Can anyone help? This does not relate to a cell phone.
Thanks,
David

It shows that you are trying to install on a "J" drive. You must install on the "C" drive on your PC. Make sure the location is set to the local program drive, usually "C".
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

Quick install - hot sync games to device not expansion card

Can I get quick install to hot sync pinball game directly to device instead of expansion card?
Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

Yes, very easy to do! In Quick Install, you are presented with two windows - the upper one is for tranferral to the Device, the bottom for the card.
I'm hazarding a guess here that the game you are trying to install is refusing to go to the device, correct? If so, you may be trying to install a game for another OS, or the download is a compressed file (.zip or .exe). Compressed files have to be unpacked on your computer first to get the Palm OS files (.prc or .pdb).
Once the files have been extracted from the zip, you can then double-click on them to send them to Quick Install.

NEEDED "Hot Sync USB Cable for Palmone Zire 31 PDA"

I am looking for a Hot Sync USB Cable for a Palmone - Zire 31 PDA. I have searched the internet up and down yet, all places I've browsed are either out of stock or the item is out dated. Yes, I know that I've had it since 2005 but it is still in perfect working condition and I'm not going to rock the boat and buy an updated one when I have one already.
If there is someone out there who can assist me with locating the above referenced cable please let me know.

Zire 71 Hot Sync

Help!!!
My old computer died, and I have a new PC with Windows 7 and 64-bit architecture.
I have installed the Palm OS and copied my data files over to the new PC, and I can run the Palm program on the new PC.
Howerer.........the Hot Sync feature will not work, and I am guessing it must be the move from 32-bit to 64-bit, but I have no idea how to resolve this issue.
Can anyone help? [email protected]
Many thanks in advance.

Palm Desktop 6.2 with drivers and hot sync will not install

My new computer has dual quad core processors (8 processors), 8 GB RAM, Vista Ultimate 64 bit.
The Palm Desktop and Hot Sync manager will not load because the New Hardware Wizard cannot find the drivers for the Palm Centro even when I point the wizard to C:/Program Files (X86)/Palm/USB-drivers.
Is the Palm Desktop software compatible with Vista Ultimate 64 bit?
The software loads just fine and operates well on my quad core,2GB RAM, Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

Please see Palm's instructions for syncing via Bluetooth. This article is for a Centro, but should be similar to your 700p.

I Can't install Firefox Sync on Firefox 25.0.1 for Mac, which I need to use Firefox on iphone.

When I tried to install Firefox sync it said it was not compatible with firefox 25.0.1.
Mac 10.6.8 is the most my system can handle.
I have an iphone 4 running iOS 7.0.3.
I want to use firefox on my iphone and believe i need to install Firefox Sync to accomplish this. Is there anyway where i can run firefox on my iphone?
Syncing between the Mac and the iphone would be good but is not essential.

This is disappointing, but thank you very much for your time. This will save me many hours of frustration.

Hot synced Zire 71 with Windows Vista

I have a Zire 71 and I just bought a Toshiba laptop with Vista 32bit. I was able to hot-sync the Zire successfully and the files loaded onto the laptop. But when I looked at the Palm desktop, there was nothing whatsoever. No data whatsoever. Nothing. Obviously the problem is with Vista.
What can I do to get my files to appear on the Palm Desktop? Is it possibly related to the file extensions having a problem with Vista, or is there an add-on to fix this?
HELP!!!!!!!!
Many thanks in advance!

Easy to install Lion with BootCamp + Win 8 + NTFS partition for data?

Hey, I have a MacBook Pro (2011) currently on OS X 10.6.8, but I bought Lion 10.7 and want to use that.
Here's what I want to do:
* install Lion (fresh, not upgrade)
* install BootCamp
* install Win 8 (DevEd) (for games and some other apps)
And here are my questions:
1) What's the best (free) way to save/"ghost" the current OS so I can quickly get back to that in case something happens when I install Lion?
2) What order do I install BootCamp and Win 8 in? Any fool-proof tutorial for how to do this?
3) If I do a backup with Time Machine as the last thing I do before installing Lion, I just copy the data back from the TM drive after install, right?
4) I would like to use Win 8 and some programs there to read and write to the HFS+ OS X partition - is there a free and/or good way to do that?
5) On PC I can use WinAmp, the great plugin "DeleteCurrentSong" and a shortcut key to delete the currently playing track. Is there a way to do something similar in any program in OS X?
6) If not, would it be possible to - early in the install process - make a big NTFS partition and put most of my data there so it can be accessed from both OS X (with Paragon) and Windows? And Time Machine wouldn't back it up as long as it's NTFS, right?
Thanks a lot for any answers!

Answer to question 1:
a. Get a USB disc the same size or better larger than your internal HD
b. Download Carbon Copy Cloner (free)
c. Clone the internal HD to the external disc
d. Reboot with the 'option' key held down. Choose the external disc to check that the clone was successful and is bootable.
e. If yes, reboot again, hodling down the 'option' key. Choose the internal HDD.
f. Dismount/eject the external HD and disconnect it from your computer.
g. Go to app store and download Lion.
h. When the download is complete, DO NOT run it. First, copy the file (Applications > Lion Install.app) to another location on your disc (the downloads folder will do). This is because after you run the installer it will delete itself from the Applications folder, and you may very well either want/need to do a re-install later without wanting to wait for hours for the download.
i. Run Applications > Lion Install.app

I can't seem to install some apps that i downloaded for my iPad from my Mac. i have tried syncing them but they still don't appear on the pad. how do i go about this?

i can't seem to install some apps that i downloaded for my iPad from my Mac. i have tried syncing them but they still don't appear on the pad. how do i go about this?

These are iPad apps correct?
Do you have restrictions set on the iPad? Settings>General>Restrictions>Installing apps>Off or Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Content?
Are you sure that the Apps are selected to sync from the Mac to the iPad?
Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
Click on Install next to the apps that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Apps Heading to select it
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If you do not see the sidebar in iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu.

I need a Tungsten t5 manual, a CD, and a hot sync device for it

I have been using myEbay purchased Tungsten T5 mostly the calendar function, memos, contacts, etc. However, I would like to be able to hot sync it to my Mac G5 power mac computer with OS X.5.8, both to upload and download between both devices and use all of their joint capabilities. I would appreciate anyone advising me where I can acquire these accessories. I just have no luck dealing with Palm. I'm a greenhorn to this forum. Any answers out there?

Cannot find Hot Sync Log File

I recently installed Palm dsktop on my new Vista PC. It synchs very well with my TX via bluetooth, BUT whenever there is a Hot Sync Log Message I get an error message saying that the PC cannot find the Hot Sync Log. I searched for this file on my PC but it cannot be found anywhere. I am using Mozilla Firefox as my web browser. Is there a solution to this?

You could view it on your device. Go to HOTSYNC and tap "Log".

10.4.7 and Palm Hot Sync

Perhaps it is coincidence but when I updated to 10.4.7 via Software Updater, my Palm Hot Sync stopped working. Says it cannot establish communications link between Palm Zire 71 and Mac. Anyone else seen this? Any fix?

I have the exact same problem.
Gee, do I hate this!
I used to be an "early adopter", but it was simply taking more and more time resolving strange (/somebody else's QA) issues, and so I gave up on this behaviour.
Nowadays, I wait for a while and only then install new software.
However, because of all kind of security issues, you have to install your OS updates quickly and there you have it!
Please Apple develop a Palm-like device quickly (and include a phone!) so that I am sure the combination of "stuff" I have is covered by your QA tests!
I'm willing to pay for it!
Though the Palm is still a great device, the software integration with the Mac is a problem that's getting worse year after year.

Device Driver Software for Zire Z22

I have a Zire Z22 palm unit and am using Windows Vista on a desktop computer. I have loaded the special Palm Desktop Software suggested for Vista. But, when I connect the Palm using the USB cable and hit the hotsync button I get a message that the device driver software must be installed. It tries to search for the needed driver, but doesn't find it, not even on the Palm software disk. Where can I find the device driver software to download so I can hotsync?
Post relates to: Zire

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
There are more than one kind of Vista...32 bit or 64 bit. If your Vista machine is 64 bit, you are limited to syncing via IR (infrared) beaming. Please review the threads "stickied" near the top of the Windows Hotsync board about syncing a Z22 with 64-bit Vista.
If your Vista desktop is 32 bit, you might need to do a clean uninstall and reinstall. Stickies have that information as well.
BTW, I am moving this thread to the Windows Hotsync board.

Hot Sync problems with Windows Vista using a Tungsten E2

Need Help solving a hot sync problem. Have a Tungsten E2, about a year old. Use Windows Vista OS. Can not sync to desktop. It worked fine for awhile then stopped sync'ing. Have reinstalled Palm Software, Have downloaded Palm 6.2. Have deleted all 3rd party apps,,,and their back up files. Particulary,,,,Epocrates apps, Took over my PDA. Installations and updates gets to synchronizing Calender and 'freezes' have left it on overnight figurng lots of data,,,,no progress. I need help. I really enjoy using this equipment. I use my PDA for all my scheduling of work shifts appts etc. I would appreciate some suggestions. Thanks in advance. Mike.
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. So if I am understanding you when you try to sync it goes to calendar and freezes and never completes the sync. That being the case the first thing you want to do is go to the conduits and turn off calendar then sync and all should be successful, except calendar will not sync. What this indicates is that you have corrupted data in your calendar, most likely on the E2. Do a google search on your computer for a utility 'dbfixit' and download it to your computer. Extract it so you have the dbfixit.prc file and double click on it to put it in the installer. Then, insuring the calendar conduit is off, sync to install it. Once installed run dbfixit. This utility is free or can be purchased for (I believe) 12.95. The free version will search for corruption and problems let you know where they are and you will have to manually fix or delete them. If you register it, when you run the utility it will find the errors and fix them as well. Once all errors are fixed, turn the calendar conduit back on and you should be able to sync.

Palm m125 stylus won't work after hot sync

Yesterday I dropped my m125 and the batteries fell out. I didn't notice right away and the system did a hard reset.
When I put the m125 in the cradle and did a hot sync, it updated everything and then I got a message I needed to reset the palm. When I clicked on the reset button, I went directly to a screen that says Preferences on the LHS and Date and Time on the RHS. My stylus no longer works properly at this point. When I touch the home icon, it does not register. If I try to navigate anywhere using the stylus, it registers that I am touching somewhere else on the screen. There is no way I can get to the home screen so I can go through the welcome and calibrate the stylus.
I uninstalled the palm desktop software, restarted the machine and reinstalled the software. Same exact problem. I installed the DigiFix free software, hot synced to add the program and ... same exact problem.
IF I take the batteries out for a hard reset, then the palm is working exactly correctly.
But I can't get any of my information back unless I hot sync, which renders the palm useless again.
IF I could download the keyboard software, I could hypothetically manually add all the lost info a little bit faster than using the touch screen. But I can't find the software and I will be vulnerable to losing everything again if I can't hot sync the stuff back onto my computer.
One other thing I don't know if it is relevant, even after I uninstalled, restarted and reinstalled the palm desktop software, all of my original data was still available. Shouldn't it be gone if I had removed the entire program? Does it matter?
Post relates to: Palm m125

After the hard reset; are you able to align your screen? If I am following you correctly you are saying this is the case, and only after the sync the digitizer will no longer align.
If this is the case you may have corrupted data in you Palm Desktop. First I would rename the backup folder under your original user name and sync again to see if this will resolve the issue. If not then you can create a new user name in your Palm DT, then hard reset the device again, then choose to sync to the new user name you created instead of the original user name. Then you could export your original data to a (original user name) file, and then import the data under the new user name to restore your data.
When you delete the Plam DT application it does not remove the data file. When you
re-install the Palm DT software it will re-associate to the original data. This is why the data came back.
