ISync Cannot Connect to Palm Treo 650 Device

OK, I have paired the device with my Mac, I have installed Palm Desktop, I have successfully synced via bluetooth with the Palm Conduit Manager, I enabled Palm OS syncing successfully in iSync, and when I try to add the device in iSync, my Palm beeps and shows that it's trying to connect but I get another window in iSync telling me: "1 device found. palmOne Device. iSync can not connect to this device."

Nevermind. Would help if I read. I needed to go to the HotSync Manager and check the Enable iSync Syncing box.

ICal, iSync, Alarms, causing my palm Treo 650 not to update

Hi All,
Looked around a bit and didn't see a solution to this issue and was hoping to find some information of confirm that it is a bug and I am not going crazy.
A couple days ago I noticed that the events I entered on my Treo 650 were not getting synced to iCal through iSync. Upon looking closer, I noticed that the reverse was true as well: Events I added to iCal were not getting synced to the treo.
The iSync logs said that everything was syncing successfully despite the problem. I double checked my settings on the treo and in iSync to make sure the calendars were scheduled to sync. All 6 of my calendars were checked to sync. Since this was all working a couple days prior, I assume the settings were correct.
After resetting my treo and restoring a back-up in an attempt to get my calendar to work properly, I noticed that the calendars listed in iSync disappeared even though they still existed and seemed to work in iCal. iSync keep trying to tell me to open iCal to add a new calendar because there were none.
After more fiddling I was only able to get iSync to properly list my current calendars by deleting a specific calendar. When I removed it entirely in iCal(I backed it up so I could test things out), iSync would update in a matter of seconds but if I put it back, no matter what I did, iSync would not update.
Finally, I started removing specific events in the calendar. It seems when I removed all the events that contained "alarms" (which I had started playing with a couple days prior). The calendars would work again. So I suspect iCal alarms as a culprit.
I can make due without the alarms for now, but would like to start using them again. I was starting to schedule applescripts to perform specific activities scheduled through iCal.
Has anybody else run into this problem and/or found a workaround that allows you to use iCal with your palm/treo and schedule applescript alarms? Any advice would be great. Or, if you are having the same problem I am, check to see if you have alarms in iCal.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.2 on a dual G5
iCal Version 2.0.2 (1038)

Verizon Wireless does not now offer—and has not historically offered—the Palm Treo 680. The Treo 680 is a GSM device, and not compatible with the Verizon network. Verizon currently offers the Palm 700p and the 700wx, and has previously offered various Palm and Windows Mobile devices beginning with the Palm Treo 600.
The anomalies you see are likely the result of issues with iSync and the iSync Palm conduit, and not with the device itself. With an advanced Palm device such as any Treo beyond the 600, you should instead opt to use either…
• the Missing Sync for Palm OS, or
• the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile
…selecting whichever one supports the operating system of your particular Treo. In your case with a Treo 680, that's the Missing Sync for Palm OS.

ISync, Palm Treo 650, and my sanity

Just bought a Palm Treo 650 this evening and I'm having the hardest time.
Been trying to iSync via USB with mixed luck. I installed the software that came with the phone, made sure my HotSync settings were correct, and hit the Hotsync button on the USB cable.
Nothing happened for several tries. Was as if the cable was broken as the Palm just couldn't contact the computer and would eventually time out.
Then when I used the AC adapter along with the USB I got a different result. The Palm and Mac were now talking. But it did give me errors regarding the conduits being in conflict. So I changed the settings on some of the conduits and I finally got a successful sync.
Well semi-successful. Some of the stuff didn't seem to be syncing. Like some of my iCal entries. So I found an article showing how to drag some of the conduits to the Disabled folder. Which I did. And now ever since I cannot seem to get the the Palm and Mac to talk again. I get the "Connecting with the desktop using Cradle/Cable" for a while and then the "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again."
Anyone know where I'm going wrong? Would really appreciate some help/advice.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
There are apparently several issues in play here. So long as you are willing to live the the limitations of the iSync Palm Conduit and synchronize via only one path—either USB or Bluetooth, but not selectively moving back and forth between the two—you can configure iSync to synchronize contact data with the Address Book and calendaring and task data with iCal.
With the exception of non-conflicting conduits like Memos, you will be unable to synchronize at all with the Palm Desktop. [Palm conduits which conflict with iSync are those used by various models to synchronize contacts—Address Conduit and Contact Conduit—those used to synchronize calendars—Calendars Conduit and Datebook Conduit—and those used to synchronize tasks—Tasks Conduit and ToDo Conduit.]
Unless you thoroughly understand how this technology works, it's not a great idea to 'experiment' by moving conduits manually. A properly configured Conduits folder for iSync users should contain at least…
• Apple [the Finder name of the iSync Palm Conduit]
• Backup
• Install
• Memos Conduit [only if you want to continue to synchronize memos to the Palm Desktop]
• any non-conflicting third-party or additional conduits you want to use
Other conduits should reside in the Disabled Conduits folder.
You add a Palm device, either via USB or Bluetooth, using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option under the Devices menu of iSync. You set the synchronization parameters for your device in the drop-down configuration pane exposed when you press the Tungsten icon in the main window of iSync.
You did the right thing by installing the Palm Desktop software using the bundled CD-ROM that shipped with your Treo 650. But, you should have upgraded that application by applying the Palm Desktop 4.2.1 revision D, available here:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421revd.html
If you elect to upgrade your copy, just run that installer. Do not attempt to remove any existing components of the Palm Desktop. And keep in mind that though you may not choose to use it at all, its HotSync Manager and Transport Monitor components are critical to the operation of iSync.

Isync cannot connect to this device

Hi I just purchased an I Phone 3gs, I am trying to sync the phone on Mac Book Pro (snow leopard 10.6.8) but cannot. I have been able to assign the device to the computer in so much as when I open network preferences "IPhone USB" shows as "connected" and "Bluetooth PAN" also is shown as connected.
However when I open ISync and try to sync the device, the message is "1 device found" then when I press scan the message is " ISync cannot connect to this device.
Similarly the phone reveals 2 personal hotspot connections, but when I try to connect to my Mac Book Pro it says "connection unsuccessful".
I have tried deleting both the IPhone USB connection and the PAN connection and starting from scratch, and I shutdown the computer and re-booted but no luck there. I also tried connecting without the USB cable via Bluetooth and then with the USB cable but to no avail.
So it appears to be the final stage that is the problem, it is simply not recognising the device. I do not have this problem with other devices, such as external HD or flash drives.
Many thanks,
Michael.

iSync is for 3rd party mobile devices. iPhone uses iTunes.
Open Mac iTunes app. Connect your iPhone with the supplied cable. What do you see in iTunes left panel under DEVICES?

"Isync cannot connect to this device" Yet phone has connected to other Imac

I have a Nokia 6230i and for ages I have been trying to get my Macbook to connect via iSync, I thought the phone was at fault, I had taken them both to a genius bar and was told the phone was at fault but last week I connected the phone to an iMac via iSync and it worked a treat. Unfortunately the imac is not my workhorse and the contacts I need to use are on the macbook.
I have reinstalled iSync by extracting it from the dvd but this also did not work. I keep getting "isync cannot connect to this device" every time
Why cant it be a bit more specific? Why not an error code or something that will let you track down the problem
Has anyone else had the same problem with iSync?

Hi,
I had the same problem with a 6230i from a friend. After setting date and time on the mobile iSync had no problems anymore.

How can I turn off the security lockout features on my Palm Treo 650?

how can I turn off the security lockout features on my Palm Treo 650?
I know the password, but don't seem to be able to turn off the feature.

If you press the Home button and open Security, you can change "Auto Lock Device" to "Never". Does that do what you want?

Every device (iphone4, iphone4s, ipad2) I try to hook up to iTunes gives me a message "this device cannot connect because the apple mobile device service is not setup" does anyone have ideas as to why it keeps popping up? It just started doing this.

Cannot connect any of my Apple devices to iTunes.

Hi All
I cannot connect any of my Apple devices to iTunes. Initially after connecting the device I would receive an unable to sync error, but I have since reinstalled iTunes and when I connect either my iPhone (I have an iPhone 5 and an iPhone5s, both of which happily connected in the past) or iPad mini, iTunes does not even see the devices (the devices are listed under preferences).
My iOS is up to date on all devices and I have tried different USB ports and cables, but no difference.
I am running WIndows 8 with all updates to date. I have Vipre Security, but turning off the firewall makes no difference and I can see that all Apple connections are available and not blocked. I have checked Apple Mobile Device and stopped and started services
I haven't been able to connect for almost a month now, so would appreciate some help.
I have already contacted support and was given information on how to check my WifI connection - not particularly useful!

but I have since reinstalled iTunes
Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Can't sync address book with my palm treo 650

About a week ago, my sync stopped working for my G4 and palm treo 650. the hotsync works via bluetooth and there are no errors. When I look at my contacts and calendar, no events or contacts have been imported for the past week or so.
I downloaded the latest palm update for 650 and tiger, still nothing.
Any suggestions

Figured it out and it wasn't fun. I watched the console messages as I deleted groups and tried to sync with Mobile Me until no error msg was displayed. Then I restored AB from a back up and proceeded to delete contacts one at a time and check for errors until none were displayed. After deleting about half my contacts under the one group I finally found the one contact. I then did another AB restore, deleted the troubled contact, sync'd fine, then did another backup. I have no idea why that one contact was the problem as everything looked fine. Console msgs only showed a silly number as the contact, not the name, which is why I had to go through all this. But...it's fixed.

Hi there i just update my ipad2 and iphone 4 ios6 and now the bluetooth cannot connect to any other ios device?what i have to do now?

I just update my ipad2 and iphone4 to ios6 but now

Are you running Leopard on your Mac, Laurie?
If so, try instead updating to iTunes 10.6.3.25. (That supports earlier models of iPhones running iOS 6, even though it can't run the new iPhone 5s.)
A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:

Send Mail from Palm Treo 650

I've had a Palm Treo 650 for about 6 months. I've been receiving mail from my .mac account, but when I try to send, I receive various errors, including authentication.
Has anyone out there experienced the same problem? I suspect it has something to do with IMAP setup. I've tried both ports 25 and 587. Also, I've included my user ID in my SMTP server setup and have taken it out.
Cheers!

This may or may not help you...
I sync two computers through .Mac but don't use a .Mac email account. I've had a 650/Cingular for about 6 months. I use Apple Mail on two computers to poll two POP accounts with my ISP (Charter) and one IMAP account through my web host. I can receive mail on the 650 from all accounts with no problems. Sending or responding to messages on the IMAP account works fine through the 650, but I've never been able to do so with the POP accounts. I get the same error every time ("550 relaying mail to <email address> is not allowed"). It will let me send test emails to those POP accounts though! Unfortunately I don't have time to resolve the issue. Luckily my business account is the IMAP so It's not too critical for me to figure it out. I would try changing all accounts to IMAP to see if that would solve it, but I don't think Charter email works in IMAP.

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Palm Treo 650 Bonus software question

Post relates to: Treo 650 (Alltel)

I don't know about the Treo 650 software, but a similar answer DTfromBH gives has been erroneously repeated for Treo 680 CD software. First time owners have been told they can't get replacements. The Bonus Software was actually freely available for download on the Palm site, contrary to what many were told when contacting customer support. Since the demise of MyPalm Beta, I don't know the location of the Bonus Software download page, but it was there & the apps could be downloaded individually.
A license to single use means one individual may use the software for himself on one device only; it doesn't mean the software can't be replaced. That license would usually tranfer to the new owner. One is likely to be prohibited from transferring the software to another owner of another device, but not a subsequent owner of the same device. The hitch is that the device must be registered with Palm in order to be eligible to purchase a replacement CD. However, as I said the Bonus Software had been available for download on MyPalm Beta, as was the Palm Desktop.
