ISync & Palm Treo failure

Hi folks,
Was a fairly happy user of iBook g4 OS 10.3.9 and Palm Treo 650 until sync'ing failed sometime last month. I had been using iSync to sync PDA contacts with Address Book, PDA calendar with iCal, and PDA Tasks with iCal as well (didn't realize that Memos sync with nothing, they are lost forever apparently). In late February I downloaded the Palm daylite savings time patch, seemingly successfully. Gotta wonder whether DST or the patch caused all this, huh? Anyway, I suffered a complete failure of my Palm Treo during a hotsync in March. It got stuck in a hotsync-reset loop. I had to do a hard reset. Of course, that wiped out everything on it. I tried to do a hotsync to reload everything, but hotsync process fails midway through. So I restored my Palm with BackupPro (I made backups way too infrequently, last one was months ago). Been reloading software (mostly medical stuff) ever since and slowly getting it to work.
BUT, it is still crashing during hotsync unless I deactivate the iSync conduit. Specifically, the iBook and Treo sync the install files successfully, then it starts iSync stuff, successfully sync's the AddressBook-Contacts, then tries to sync the calendar-iCal stuff. It tries, it tries, it waits, then the Treo resets itself while the iBook keeps trying to reset. When I finally cancel the failed hotsync, I get this error report in the hotsync log:

Can anyone suggest what is going wrong? I have some pretty important data trapped now in iCal calendar and To-Do list while my Treo's calendar and tasks remain empty. I am using OS 10.3.9, iSync 1.5, iSync Palm conduit package 1.2 (if I'm listing that last item correctly).

With regard to memos: when the iSync Palm Conduit is installed, the script deactivates the Memo Conduit and Memos Conduit. You can reactivate them by dragging them from the Disabled Conduits folder back into the active Conduits Folder. Both are found here:
Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync
The installation process does not delete them from the Palm Desktop. They remain there, but are not updated unless and until you reactivate the conduits.
With regard to the iSync error: Warning: couldn't get record 338 for database DatebookDB, skipping the rest of the database
That error indicates that the corrupted record resides on your Palm device, and not in iCal. To correct that problem, you should remove your device from iSync, add it back again using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option and choose to Replace the records on your Palm device, rather than Merge items with them.

  • 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.

  • Entourage 2008/Leopard/iSync/Palm Treo/Missing Sync

    I have been over all the "boards" and everyone is having the same problem syncing Entourage 2008 or even iCal with their Palms.
    I have been working at it for three days, and have come to the conclusion that I can get everything to sync to the Palm but cannot sync back. So the only work around is make all changes on the computer, and only use the Palm for the "walk around" reminder, and of course, the contact info.
    Not even close to satisfactory, but the only solution at present.
    Let me share what I did to clean up the mess.
    1. Wiped out all duplicate calendar entries in Entourage (took about five hours) and saved the database on a remote drive
    2. Wiped out anything to do with PalmOS in applications and library - do not wipe out anything in the Docs folder
    3. Unchecked the sync services in Entourage to the iStuff apps - rebooted, checked them again, and chose the overwrite from Entourage option
    4. within a few seconds, quite magically, iCal and Address Book were accurate again. Do NOT delete any of the calendars in iCal, and leave them all checked - I still don't know what they mean, or what the **** "unfiled" is, but leave it alone!
    5. Assuming you have "The Missing Sync", (this takes over entirely from PalmOS and HotSync Manager) only use the Mark/Space conduits - do NOT use any other contact, calendar, diary, date book, etc. Start off with contacts - select the "settings" - and choose Desktop overwrites handheld. It will work.
    6. then do the same for "Events" - this should work
    7. Then do the whole lot, but just the Mark/Space stuff, backup, any special software you have like AA Fligts, Zagat Guide, etc. etc.
    8. Test changing an event in iCal and see how quickly it changes in Entourage. Same with Address Book, and vice versa. But any changes on the Palm, (so far) have not appeared on Entourage - an alteration sometimes appears on iCal or Address Book, but does not get Synced to Entourage. Therefore, for safety, make all changes and additions on Entourage until a fix is produced.
    Now, there's the rub. A fix. Entourage syncs fine both ways to iCal and Address Book. I don't see why I have to use Sync Services anyway - with Entourage 04 and prior, the Entourage conduit used Palm OS and totally bypassed Sync Services (which is always running, and slows down the computer)
    Apple won't produce a fix, because they want us to buy an iPhone. Therefore, it's down to the people at Mark/Space to try and fix this issue. Don't know how they can, because it really looks like an iSync problem, - Missing Sync works back to iCal and Address, but not on to Entourage.
    Maybe we need a totally new third party fix that syncs Entourage directly to Palm.

    Entourage data has never synchronized directly with the Address Book and iCal.
    Traditionally, as with Entourage X and Entourage 2004, Palm user alone could choose to synchronize Entourage data using the Microsoft-supplied Entourage conduit to the Palm Desktop using that conduit, or by using the Missing Sync for Palm OS and that conduit.
    Later versions of Entourage 2004 provided for a means for all Entourage users to synchronize their date with the Sync Services framework, and therefore to the Address Book and iCal. Other compatible participants included the Missing Sync for Palm OS. iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit were involved only to the degree that Entourage data moved through the framework was thereupon synchronized to a Palm device using them. Users could bypass this process and continue to synchronize their Entourage data directly to a Palm handheld using the Entourage X or 2004 conduits, with this caveat: Entourage X users could not do so under Mac OS X 10.4.x from an intel processor-powered platform.
    With the release of Entourage 2008, Microsoft no longer provides an Entourage conduit for Palm users. This is no fault of Apple, Mark/Space or Palm: it is a decision solely on the part of Microsoft.
    The synchronization of Palm data for Mac OS 10.5 and later users is differentiated from this issue. A primary issue involved is an apparent incompatibility with iSync 3, another is a set of issues involving the synchronization engine in iCal, which was completely rewritten for iCal 3. Neither of these issues prevent a Palm user synchronizing with Entourage through the Sync Services framework using the Missing Sync for Palm OS. Those who would prefer to use a conduit to synchronize with Entourage 2008 are out of luck, as Microsoft no longer supplies a compatible one.
    The executive summary is this:
    • your specific issue has nothing at all to do with Apple
    • your option to synchronize a Palm device to Entourage using a conduit was eliminated by Microsoft, so…
    1. take your complaint to them (and, good luck with that…)
    2. contact Mark/Space to determine if they are willing to independently build an Entourage 2008 Palm conduit
    I would be the first to say that Microsoft's implementation of synchronization through the framework was, and remains, rather clumsy. Again, this is an issue for Microsoft, not Apple, Mark/Space or Palm.
    The Unfiled calendar in iCal is the single calendar to which, by default, all events created on a Palm device are synchronized. If you are using iSync, you can either use that calendar, or create another and delete the Unfiled calendar. I chose to name mine Palm events when I used iSync. Users of 'advanced' Palm devices with Palm OS 5.4 or later who choose to synchronize using the Missing Sync for Palm OS have their categorized events read from and written to the specific calendar for each category, and can delete the Unfiled calendar from iCal. Those users with an earlier release of the Palm OS—for example, OS 5.2 on a Treo 600—must continue to use the single Unfiled calendar or a substitute calendar into which all Palm device-created events are written. This requirement is the result of an issue with the Palm OS, and does not involve either Apple, Mark/Space or Microsoft.
    Synchronization works bidirectionally IF you have properly configured your environment. Any and all additions, changes or deletions of data store components associated with any application, device or server in your pool, will reflect the same information—to the extent that such information is universally supported—after one or more synchronization events.

  • 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)
    iSync Version 2.1 (88.0)
    Treo 650 (Verizon) (firmware update 1.03)
    Thanks,
    Michael

    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.

  • Palm Treo calendar has stopped syncing with iCal

    I have a Palm Treo 650 and an Intel iMac runing OS X 10.4.11. I've had both for a few years, and I've always been able to sync them with no problems using the iSync conduit when doing a Hot Sync from the Palm. But suddenly I'm finding that, while it appears to be syncing fine and doesn't display any error messages, iCal is not being updated with new events from the Palm calendar.
    Tonight is the first time I've encountered this, but it's also the the first time I've been able to sync at all in a while, because for the last few weeks, every time I've tried, I've gotten an error due to having too much data on the Palm - which is a catch-22 in that I didn't want to delete anything without being able to do a backup, but couldn't do a backup without deleting things first. But finally I took the plunge tonight and deleted a bunch of things. And it seemed like it synced OK - except that no new events turned up in iCal.
    I've tried several times, and I've checked my settings in both iSync and the HotSync Manager to make sure they were OK. I read through some support articles on here (although most of them seemed to deal only with 10.5 and 10.6) and tried re-enabling Palm syncing in iCal, resetting my sync history, and quitting iCal, clearing the cache folders, and restarting it, but still no go.
    The little mini-report you see at the end of a HotSync always says the iSync conduit ran OK, but if I look in the log itself, I see this:
    iSync Conduit: received NULL message, disconnecting... 1/22/10 4:43:48 AM
    OK iSync Conduit
    So it seems like it is encountering some sort of problem with iSync, but is then reporting it OK anyway? The iSync log doesn't show any errors at all. Another odd thing I noticed is that if I have iSync open while I'm hot syncing, iSync seems to be finished while Hot Sync is still working on the Datebook, even though theoretically it should be iSync that's handling that.
    Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here? Or anything else I might try in the way of troubleshooting?

    Michael Lafferty wrote:
    The conduit Apple is the iSync Palm Conduit: that's its Finder name.
    Ah, I see.
    There are many thing which can cause the null issue to arise. Chief among them is a lack of available storage space on your Palm device itself. Typically this can only be corrected by overwriting the contents of your organizer by initiating a first time synchronization and selecting that option, following a reset of the synchronization framework on your Macintosh.
    Eek - I have a fair bit of stuff on there I don't want to lose, since I usually use the Treo for taking notes at business meetings and that sort of thing. Maybe I can find a way of getting my notes out by copying into notes fields in the address book... (I haven't been able to get Memos to sync since I stopped using Entourage, and Documents have never synced, so I'm kind of used to kludgy workarounds for getting at those.)
    It makes sense that the lack of space would be an issue, since this really only started when the Treo got too full, and while I've been able to delete enough stuff to at least enable to HotSync in theory, obviously it wasn't enough for it to sync everything properly.
    You mentioned two machines - are you synchronizing your Palm device with BOTH, or with just one of these platforms? The synchronization to multiple platforms may also result in the sort of issue that you are seeing.
    Two machines? I don't think I said anything like that... Maybe the way I described the multiple conduits folders was confusing? They're all on the same machine, just that one's in the main Library and one's in the Library in my user folder. The only machine I sync it to is my iMac.
    I've been going through and deleting what files I feel like I can safely delete, in order to free up some space in hopes that that will help, but on the whole, I am starting to suspect that the long-range solution to this whole problem might be getting an iPhone instead. :-/

  • Sync Palm treo with Mac and Windows

    Have a Palm Treo 650 for both personal and work use. Unse a Windows box at work and a Mac at home. I can sync the Palm with my Mac, and I can sync it with Outlook in Windows, but doing this leads to problems, especially multiple entries in both calendar and contacts.
    What I'd like to do is set the Palm up to sync with Outlook on the Windows box, and have it overwrite the data on the Mac when I sync at home. I can't find options for this in iSync 2 (merge data or overwrite device).
    Any suggestions?

  • ICal and iSync with Treo 650 and bluetoothing

    Hello,
    I have a Palm Treo 650 with Sprint provider and I am trying to sync it with my iCal and Address Book on my MacBook Pro. I have synced the Treo with the laptop using the Cradle Cable once. When I did this, all the events from the Treo transfered straight over the Mac Pro but were deleted off the phone.
    1) How do I sync the two to have identical events, etc.?
    I have heard that my iCal can also be synced using bluetooth. I've been reading on here trying to figure it out but nothing has been able to help me yet.
    2) How do I sync using the bluetooth capabilities?
    I just signed up for a .Mac trial account to see if I had to be a member for the iCal to sync thru bluetooth but I haven't been able to figure it out. I have the Palm OS conduit installed. But I just need help answering these 2 questions if possible.
    Much appreciated!
    "locmi01" I have read a few of your posts but nothing that I found could answer my questions.

    I cannot explain why the events transfered from your Treo through the Sync Services framework where thereafter deleted if you were using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit. That should not have happened.
    In order understand synchronization under Mac OS X 10.4 and later, you should read this document:
    http://developer.apple.com/macosx/syncservices.html
    To restore the data to your Treo, you should first make sure it is present in both iCal and the Address Book, back up both datasets using the option to do so under the File menu of each application, then…
    • launch iSync
    • open the Preferences… dialog
    • press the Reset Sync History… button and follow the directions which appear
    You should opt to replace the information on your Treo when presented with the option to either merge or replace records.
    With regard to Bluetooth synchronization, you must first get USB synchronization working properly. Only then should you pair your device initiating the process from your Treo and confirming it from your MacBook, then electing to initiate a HotSync Bluetooth sync session from your device.
    Keep in mind that USB is a faster and wider path, and will result in faster, if not necessarily as convenient, synchronization.

  • Ical, Missing Sync and Palm Treo 680

    Most of 2007 was spent trying to get my Palm Lifedrive to Sync with iCal using Missing Sync version 5 thru 6. One day it was fine six days it was not. Nothing I have found to be more infuriating and frustrating as trying to sync my Palm with my Computer.
    So, with the arrival of Leopard and the much promised improvements to Sync Services I decided to perform a Clean Install of Leopard on my Powerbook, and run just a few apps on my Powerbook leaving the rest on my new Mini Mac. At the same time I decided to upgrade my Palm Lifedrive to a Palm Treo 680. So, New OS, New Palm, Leopard ready Missing Sync.
    1st Sync was spot on. All my data downloaded from .Mac for iCal and AB, sync'ed wonderfully with my Palm Treo. That was on January 7th. Since then iCal absolutely refuses to refresh. And already I am beginning to feel that 2008 and Syncing will be as frustrating as 2007.
    Why cannot MarkSpace sit down with Apple and iron out all the crap. For the last couple of days I though I would see if iCal was not communicating with SyncServices by using Entourage. But this only synced with AB and did not touch iCal. To do this I had to use iSync and during the first sync only 144 of 1456 addresses were left on my Palm! iCal - no change!!
    So I dumped iSync/Entourage and went back to Missing Sync own Conduits. I got my AB entries back but absolutely nothing from iCal
    When I wiped my Powerbook, I cloned the hardrive. Whilst routing around, I found a folder called FileServices in ~libray. This folder was over 12gig in size. What is this folder for and why was it so big? This could explain why my Backup Sets were getting increasing larger than my actual Hardrive even though I was peforming just a daily incremental backup!
    Back to iCal. Is there any reason why iCal will not refresh after a so called successful sync with my Treo 680 via Missing Sync v6.0.2?

    You might have better luck getting support at Mark/Space the makers of the program. http://support.markspace.com
    I did briefly look around there and found this article, not sure if its related to your issue or not.

  • Palm Treo 680's Chinese and English datas + HotSync + Mac OS X?

    Hello!
    I am wondering if it is safe to get an Apple MacBook Pro for a client
    who uses a Palm Treo 680 with English and Chinese datas (with CJKOS --
    http://www.dyts.com/en/cjkos.html ). Currently, he uses his Windows
    2000 SP4 on his old Dell Optiplex PC and Hotsync (via USB) his datas.
    It has MS IME and TwinBridge to read and write Chinese characters.
    Is he going to have any problems if he were to buy a new MacBook Pro
    with the latest Mac OS X? I read that he will need a third party
    softwares (Missing Sync for Palm v6.0 --
    http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php [not free] and Palm
    Encoding Setup -- http://lokiware.info/Palm-Encoding-Setup ). I was
    told that using Palm Desktop is messy and complex. Also, is it safe to
    mix both PC and Mac to share Palm datas? All these third parties and
    fancy setups seems complex for a guy who doesn't know computers well.
    Thank you in advance.

    Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

    I have no experience with using a handheld with chinese character sets, but mac osx will natively support a range of chinese and japanese character sets. The best place to go is contact apple and check the correct sets are supported.
    As for how messy etc palm desktop is, some people love it and others can't stand it. Personally I don't mind it but for people who have the same set of contacts they sync with isync and palm desktop I can see it getting very annoying even with missing sync (which I don't have). I'd recommend you find someone with a mac and actually have a go with it before you make any definite decisions you could regret.

  • Palm Treo Sync

    Hi.
    I'm Trying to sync my palm treo 650 with my mac and when I try to activate sincronization with palm os I'm having problems with all the conduits. It shows that I have to desactivate them.. What can I do. This conduits are the ones I want to Sync

    Are you using iSync? If you are, then you cannot use the Palm conduits for "Address", "Datebook", "Calendar", "Contacts", "ToDo", or "Tasks"; the iSync conduit supersedes all of them.
    If you're using Palm Desktop for contacts, calendar, and to-dos, then you shouldn't use iSync. A Treo has the new Palm databases, so for Palm Desktop synch you should use Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks.
    If you're using iCal and Address Book, then disable all of the Palm conduits listed above (drag them out of /Library/Application Support/Palm HotSync/Conduits into somewhere else, like a "Disabled Conduits" folder).
    You can't use both Palm Desktop AND iCal/Address Book.
    If you're using categories on the Palm Calendar, or birthdays and/or photos in the Contacts database, then iSync won't do the job for you at all. I'd recommend buying The Missing Sync from Mark/Space (www.markspace.com), which supplies its own SyncServices conduits that work like iSync does to iCal and Address Book, but much better... including support for categories, contact birthdays, and contact photos.

  • J2ME for Palm Treo 700W

    Hi, does anyone know of a J2ME environment which will work for this Windows Mobile device? Is there an IBM J9 version compatible with this device?

    No, not with iSync, as it provides no support whatsoever for Windows Mobile or Pocket PC devices.
    To support such devices, you must use a third-party application like the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile from Mark/Space or PocketMac from Information Appliance Associates. Both have promised updates to support Windows Mobile 5 devices like the Palm Treo 700w, but neither have released a completed, updated application to date.
    Mark/Space is offering the opportunity to test an early alpha release of the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile. More information about that application is available here:

  • Cannot send email with Palm Treo Pro

    Hi,
    We have a Palm Treo Pro that was previously configured to sync with exchange 2003 and at the same time also had an IMAP email account setup for another email address.  We have since removed the Exchange email account and only have the IMAP account configured.  Since removing the exchange account we can no longer send email from the phone, but can receive fine.  The error we get when trying to send is listed below.
    "The message(s) could not be sent.  Check that you have network coverage and that you account information is correct then try sending again"
    The connection is fine because we can receive email and browse fine.  The account information is also correct.  We are using the SMTP server settings for the phones provider and that requires no authentication.  I have also tried a different SMTP server with the appropriate user credentials but still get that message.
    I have contacted the phone provider (Telstra) but they were no use.
    We did have to load on a self signed certificate to get the exchange email working and I dont know whether this is causing any issues.
    If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated

  • After Hotsynching a Palm Treo 680, its Hotsynch stuck in loop, lock ups, etc.

    Hello,
    My father is having problem with his Palm Treo 680 (unlocked). Before the incident, he Hotsynched between his Treo and his Dell Optiplex machine (Windows 2000 SP4 with all updates; USB connection).
    The PDA went stuck in a Hotsynch screen on the PDA even if it is disconnected and hard resetted (battery removal since there is no hole). Eventually, the issue stopped (don't know what he did). However, there are still random lock ups and the looping Hotsynch again (no specific times and patterns). Also removing the extra memory cards didn't help either. Also, he reported that his phone didsn't ring either from incoming calls.
    Does anyone know what's going on? Is the PDA dying since he uses it daily all almost all day when he is awake? His warranty expired already, he said. It seems like a lot of people had problems from my Google searches.
    FYI if it helps, the Hotsynch logs BEFORE the problems (he didn't install anything new -- only data changes and updates): http://pastebin.ca/678475
    Thank you in advance.

  • Change my text tone for a palm treo pro

    Is there a way to change the texting rington on the Palm Treo Pro to something other than the few items they allow you to choose from.
    I want to set Alarm4 as my text alert and it only gives me a few. Alarm4 is allowed in a few other notification options, but not on the text message one. Can I move a default alarm for one time to another item?

    I have the 800w, but it's the same version of Windows Mobile, so I think the following might apply to your phone, too.
    Alarm4 is a .wma-format file, while the old-style alerts are MIDI format file. I don't know why, but some of the notification drop-downs list both, and some list just MIDI files. But they all list some ring tones that I downloaded from Microsoft. Hmmm...
    In File Explorer, my downloaded ring tones are in My Device\Application Data\Sounds. So if you were able to copy Alarm4 into that folder, you might be able to assign it to any notification.
    I can't see any way to copy files in File Explorer. You might need to do it through ActiveSync or a third party file manager.
    If you experiment with this, let us know how it goes.
