Memos go away after sync with palm desktop

I did the one time sync between my palm Pre Plus and palm desktop. After powering off the Pre, the imported memos no longer exist. In fact when you go to the memos there is no option to add a new memo. All you see is a cork board with stick pins in it. No option to do anything and no memos appear.
Post relates to: Pre Plus p100ueu (SFR)

I would advise you NEVER use the Memo file in the Palm Pre!
The reason is that after a time you might (like me) end up with 500 or more of these Memos, BUT:
You can NEVER extract them again!
There is NO function at all offered by Palm to extract your Memos from the Palm Pre: Once they are in the Pre you can never get them out again!!
I have just discovered this direct from the Palm chat line itself. The agent was embarrassed to tell me this..
Thus if you decide to move from a Palm Pre of any updated description to another manufacturer, you can wave goodbye to all your memos.

Centro will not sync with Palm desktop - Calendar and/or Contacts

I have used a Palm device for many years. Acquired a new Centro. Upon installation of Palm Desktop (on Windows XP) that came with Centro, all contacts, calendar, to do, memos, etc transferred to the Centro during installation.
Subsequent changes to contacts and/or calendar on Centro are not syncing with Palm desktop when Hot Sync is performed. Hot Sync starts and appears to complete normally. To Do list and memos appear to sync just fine. Have tried changing conduits to have Centro overwrite desktop. Have uninstalled/reinstalled Desktop many times.

I have a Centro/Verizon Wireless using Versamail with accounts established for personal POP and Exchange e-mail synchronization. The latter account is for work. Previously I owned a Treo 650p using Versamail.
When I first installed Palm OS Desktop and synched to my Centro device, it was on a Windows XP home computer, and no Versamail accounts were defined. First I downloaded and installed the Versamail version which allowed Exchange synchronization. I exported the Treo650p contacts list to a disk file, and imported it onto the Windows XP home computer into the Palm OS Desktop installed with the Centro-supplied CD. This synched the imported contacts list to the Centro fine. After I defined all the POP and Exchange accounts, synchronization with the office Exchange contacts list worked fine, and still does. Synchronization with the windows XP home computer for contacts seems to still be ok, too regardless of the MS Exchange Versamail account commingling with my personal POP accounts. Maybe the install sequence is overriding the previous posts' notation that MS Exchange mail definition will override synch with Palm OS Desktop?
The problem now is I have a different/second home computer that's Vista os. I installed the Palm OS Desktop and synch with the Treo. The contacts list is not synching to this second home computer, maybe because I didn't follow the exact same sequence as for the Windows XP pc? I can still synch my Centro with my Windows XP pc and that includes contacts.
Is there a way on this second pc to override the MS Exchange contacts override for synchronization without having to go through the exact same install sequence as occurred on the Windows XP machine?

Centro will not Sync with Palm Desktop

I have removed all Palm references from laptop as suggested in: Community Help Forums : Hardware & Software : Software : Re: Syncs fine -- missing all data in Desktop App with no luck.

I have a Windows Vista, downloaded Hotsync Manager 7.0.2 and all data (contacts/calendar) from Palm Centro will not appear in Palm Desktop. I have made sure that:
1. user name in Hotsync is the same as is in Palm Desktop
2. tried different user name (suggested "Test" ) with no luck
3. changed name of device through "prefs" icon (at least, in Bluetooth, Device Name is "Palm Centro") I am unable to find another option to change the name of the device for syncing purposes if it is not through Bluetooth
Any other suggestions? I have made entries into te Palm Desktop calendar, do a Hotsync and the entries from the Palm Desktop entries are not appearing into the Palm Centro, and the Centro's contacts and calendar entries are not showing up in the Palm Desktop.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreaciated!

Do you have the Centro set to sync with Microsoft Outlook by mistake? Look in Outlook and see if your info is there.
If it is, you can run a simple program in your Start/All programs/Palm/PIM Conduit Sync/Sync with Palm Desktop to switch it back.

Sync with palm desktop not working

I can install programs but it wonb't sync with palm dektop. I am running Windows & with palm desktop V.6.something. Its the latest one i think. I have a Zire 31. I used some software so it will sync programs but even when I save in plam desktop nothing changes! I NEED help!

I have 32 bit. I self installed over vista Basic 32bit. It is Pro Edition of windows 7 now!
This is what i followed to get it to install:
(Thanks smkranz)
Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
If you are using the Palm Desktop from your original installation disc on your Vista desktop, it is not compatible and the Install Tool won't work. This is covered extensively here on the forums and in the Palm Support pages. You will need to use the new Palm Desktop 6.2.2 by Access, which can be downloaded from the Support & Downloads link above...you might have to lie and tell it you have a different device, because PD 6.2 is technically not compatible with older Palm devices. Then, after you install PD 6.2, go to www.pimlicosoftware.com and download/install the free PalmHotsyncSetup utility, which should add compatiblity for your device.
Note, this will probably only work if your desktop is 32-bit Vista. If your Vista desktop is 64-bit, your only hope of syncing is Infrared beaming because there are no 64-bit drivers. You'd also need to use an infrared (IRDA) adapter on your computer.
You also have a non-sync option of installing applications to your Zire, by first copying the .prc file to a Secure Digital card using a card reader on your computer, then putting the SD card into your Zire and using the Copy command to Copy the file from the SD card to the Zire's memory. The file should be put in the /palm/launcher folder on the card first, then you can copy it to internal memory.
Then i set it for Newer Palm PIM devices. Thanks!

List of email clients/address books that will sync with palm desktop 6.2

Is there (and if not, I think there should be) a list somewhere of email clients whose address books will sync with a palm Treo (palm Desktop version 6.2)? I have been happily using various palm handhelds for about 6 years now and have been syncing the address book with Mozilla and now Thunderbird for the last couple years. I currently have an m130, but it's time to upgrade to a "smart phone" as I'm tiering of carrying around two devices. Unfortunately, the Treo requires palm Desktop version 6.2 which is not compatible with the Thunderbird palm sync. I have had the idea that Outlook (which I've never used or been exposed to) will sync with palm, but something I read gave me the impression that I would need to buy some third party software to make that happen, plus the $110 they want for Outlook. I would like to think there are other choices for someone who just wants to sync their smart phone with their email client's address book. It seems that such syncing ability would be esential to palm's sales and that a listing of all such syncing possibilities would be extremely beneficial to sales, particularly for new sales to people aren't already insiders on this sort of topic. The lack of ability to sync with Thunderbird may just cause me to stick with my old m130 awhile longer and give up on the idea of a nice new smart phone.

Wow, thanks a bunch! You just saved me from a long, involved, and discouraging search for an alternative. I'm using WindowsXP, palm m130, palm desktop 4.1, Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 and Thunderbird's palm sync conduit palmsync-2.0.0.x-wsm . I'm wanting to purchase a Treo 700 on ebay, but went to the palm site, clicked on the support link, then the Treo 700, then the downloads tab and it directed me to desktop 6.2, which made me believe I would have to use that to sync a treo 700.
I do wish that both palm and Thunderbird would talk more about the palm Thunderbird palm sync. Unless you're a real geek or very determined (I'm the later), you're not likely to find out that such capability exists. I can't believe I'm the only one out there who needs to have my email client address book contacts with me all the time, so there has to be others who are looking for this.
Next stop, ebay - I have a smart phone to buy.

Can't sync Palm with Mac through iSync, only syncs with Palm Desktop

I have an older Palm Tungsten T3 that I use basically only to run a medical application that I need at work (ePocrates, which has its own conduit and auto-updates itself with hotsyncs). I haven't tried to sync it to my Mac for a long time. I use iCal for my calendaring needs, sync it with my iPod, and ignore the old stuff that's on the Palm, which I hardly ever even sync.
Today I had to reinstall the Epocrates software, and decided while I was at it I'd try to get the Palm syncing with the Mac (iCal, contacts, etc) again because it would be nice for it to show the same calendar data.
I reinstalled the newest version of Palm Desktop from scratch. Installed the ePocrates software on top of it. I have iSync 2.4. My Palm was not listed as a device initially. I chose "Enable Palm OS Syncing" from the menu; iSync then went through a series of steps in which it disabled several conduits (presumably to no longer sync with the Palm Desktop), then told me to enable the iSync Palm conduit through the HotSync manager, which I did.
I now show the Palm as a device on iSync, but it has a yellow caution icon over it and I'm not sure why. Clicking on it shows an options dialog. I chose for the first sync I wanted to erase everything on the device and then sync with the Mac. My syncs appear to work, but when the data is checked it seems to sync only with Palm Desktop. The old junky data on the Palm was not erased as requested. Newer calendar events and contacts from my Mac have not made it to the Palm. The ePocrates auto update conduit is working fine but that's the only part that is.
Any idea what's incompatible, or what I'm doing wrong here?

I have The Missing Sync and used it to sync my palm TX. I am now in the process of trying to get iCal going properly again. No longer have any calender views in iCal and the week views don't show until I have opened a month view and then go back to the week view. Very bizzare. Also have a heap of untitled calendar views in the drop down list option when looking at the info on any event - these calendar views are not accessible anywhere else though.
I'm not sure if it is Missing Sync or something I did wrong at present. Will also throw the problem to the Missing Sync people to see what they say. Will let you know. It seemed to work really well without needing the palm desktop!

Palm Treo 700wx sync with Palm Desktop

Newbie here, so please excuse if this is already in here somewhere! I've been using Palm Desktop (v4.0.1) syncing with a Sony handheld device (Clie). The Clie died, and I purchased a used Palm Treo 700wx (Sprint) for both cell phone use and as a PDA. Darn if I can find anywhere how to sync the Palm Desktop with the Treo 700wx. Am I missing something somewhere?
Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Sprint)

Hello melemiller and welcome to the Palm forums.
The Treo 700wx, running the Windows Mobile operating system, can only sync to Microsoft Outlook. You will need export the data out of the Sony edition of Palm Desktop and import it into Outlook and then install the Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 software on your computer to sync the Treo to Outlook. If you are using Windows Vista, you need to use the Windows Mobile Device Center that is included as part of Vista to sync with Outlook.

Events after syncing with Palm

After syncing with my Palm, iCal has spread many but not all one-day events over two days. For instance, Halloween in iCal is now a two day holiday from October 30 through October 31. My cousin's birthday is now two days long as well. BUT, Easter is still just one day, as is my father's birthday. It's really weird. The two day spread does not happen on my Palm.

Other users have reported this very same issue after updating to iOS 5.
If you are using iCloud, try changing a contact in your iCloud.com. Then see if the Edit button reappears in the Contacts App.
I can no longer designate a custom title for additional email addresses within a contact. I can edit contacts and add new ones, I just cannot designate an additional email address for a particular contact as home, or work, or any of the other titles that should be available. iOS 5 has caused some weird glitches for some of us.

Unable to sync with Palm Desktop

Here's my problem. I haven't been able to sync with my elderly Palm IIIC for about 2 years. Now my daughter gave me her Palm Zire 31. All my data are in my Palm Desktop on my iMac G5. Somewhere along the way I tried using iSync and got a bunch of stuff in my Mac address book. So I did a hard reset on the Palm Zire 31, then successfully hot-synced on my G5. But my nice address from my Palm Desktop file isn't coming over, just the crummy one from the Mac address book I think. My Palm Desktop address file has all the names in categories etc. I have tried making sure I have the correct conduits for syncing with the Palm desktop, and I tried telling the Sync operation to override with the Mac contents. I just want to move all my address data from my Palm Desktop on my Mac to the Zire. Any help here?

If you want to move all of the address data from your Palm Desktop to your handheld organizer, there is only one way to do it: using the Palm-supplied conduits to do so, not iSync and it's built-in iSync Palm Conduit. The transfer of all of the data from the Palm Desktop, including categories, simply is not supported by iSync or the iSync Palm Conduit.
The Missing Sync for Palm OS is an alternative, but you have to plan carefully how you do this, as you must first move the data from the Palm Desktop to either your device—or, through an export/import process—directly into both iCal and the Address Book. iCal task data doesn't survive this process, only calendaring data. In either event, categories don't transfer.
You'll have to perform some manual categorization on both your device and in the Address Book, and iSync will not support these changes. It won't reverse or otherwise modify them, it simply won't synchronize them. This is the case because you must overwrite the data on your handheld the first time you use the Missing Sync for Palm OS to synchronize.
The Missing Sync for Palm OS will, but only when using Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, and an advanced Palm device with Palm OS 5.4 or later on board, as I recall. Only the Z22 would qualify, if that contention is true. Here is a list of Palm OS versions tied to specific handheld devices:

My Treo 600, with Palm OS 5.2.1, does not qualify as an advanced device and does not support categorization in the same manner as later devices do.

How can I sync my Address Book and ICal with Mac and PC with Palm Desktop?

I now have the IPhone and I love it!!! But I have some issues and need help please. I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. In the PC I use the Palm Desktop Version 4.1.4 and I have there all my contacts (more than 1,100), all my date book (since 1998) and all my memos (about 600). I want to see what would be the best way get rid of my Palm Handheld and have only the IPhone, but I have encountered some problems and many steps. Everyday I have to sync the Palm Handheld at work, then sync the Palm Handheld at home with my Mac (using The Missing Sync, but it takes a long time every time), then sync the IPhone. Can you please help me??? How can I sync my data from my PC (Palm Desktop) with the IPhone? Another, thing; I do not want to use Outlook at work because the information that I want to sync (Palm) is my personal data and I want to keep using the Palm software for that.

aflores48,
Unfortunately, the iPhone is not designed to sync with Palm software. As stated in the minimum system requirements, the iPhone can sync with Outlook (2003, 2007 or Express) on a PC, or with iCal and Entourage on a Mac. If you do not want to use Outlook on the PC, you can sign up for a free Yahoo account and sync with Yahoo Address Book. Yahoo Address Book can be used to sync from PC or Mac. More information on the minimum system requirements for the iPhone can be found here:

Why can't I sync my Palm Desktop with iCal?

When I enable iSync for my Palm (Tungsten E2, Palm Desktop 4.2.1 Rev.D) it disables the conduits I need to sync my Palm Desktop calendar information (Date Book, Tasks, To Do, etc.) with anything else. So when I make a change on Palm Desktop it doesn't even show up on the Palm handheld, much less on iCal. Can I move these "iSync Disabled Conduits" (Date Book, Tasks, To Do, etc.) back into the "Conduits" folder without creating a conflict? I've tried various solutions on the Mac Support site without much luck so far. Does this problem have something to do with OS 10.4's unique issues with syncing? Or is iCal supposed to REPLACE Palm Desktop, not be synced with it?

Hello kongoscar,
If you are making the jump from Windows to Mac, it might be easier for you to export your data from the Windows side using a comma separated values (.csv) file and importing that data into the PIM application on the Mac. The Palm Desktop software for the Mac, is, in my opinion, terrible (and I'm a Mac user).
Alan G
Thanks so much for your reply, Alan G. I am not planning on using the Palm Desktop for the Mac once I get all the data from my Palm into the Macs. I am going to use the Mac software, like iCal and contacts, and probably Bento3 in place of the Palm Memos database, and I HOPE (not sure whether I will like it or not) to use my iPhone in place of the Palm, but I am not yet ready to ditch the Palm until I satisfy myself that the iPhone can do all the calendar and personal database functions as well as what I am used to with the Palm. So this data transfer quandary is not really about transferring the data to the Mac so I can continue to use my Palm and Palm Desktop software as I always have - it is about getting it to the Mac in a way that I can easily then export/import the data into iCal, Address Book/Contacts, and Notes or Bento3. My assumption is that would be easier doing imports from Palm Desktop on the Mac rather than imports from the PC, but maybe that is wrong. For instance, if I do an export from the PC of the Palm's calendar function and import that into iCal on the iMac, will all the alarms and repeating copies of entries also make it over? Or would the alarms and repeaters more likely make it into an import into iCal if it came from data that was already on the Mac in Palm Desktop for the Mac? It odes seem that the Palm software for the Mac is not as good as it is for the PC, that Mac OSX does not support the Palm as well as earlier versions of Mac OS, and that there are all these problems with syncing on the Mac, from what I've read on the forums.
Given my admittedly rambling description above, do you have any other advice for me?

64-bit Windows 7 Pro's Windows XP Mode, Palm Desktop 4.1.4 sync with Palm Vx?

I last talked about Palm Desktop compatibility with 64-bit Windows at http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&message.id=37767. Fortunately, I haven't replaced my laptop yet, so I am in the enviable(?) position of planning the acquisition of a spanking new machine with 64-bit Windows 7 Pro (sidenote: likely a 14" ASUS). However, my PDA is still Palm Vx, which requires Palm 4.1.4, which requires 32-bits, which is provided in Windows 7 Pro by its Windows XP Mode. Has anyone heard any word of whether XP mode allows seamless sync'ing through the serial or IR ports? Serial is most preferrable, of course, due its speed, lack of headaches with line-of-sight alignment, and the fact that it needs to be docked anyway for recharging.
I'm not sure if it's as dependent on the Palm Desktop version as much as it depends on the Hotsynch Manager, which is 4.1.0. There are probably certain Hotsynch Manager versions that are compatible with Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and Palm Vx.

Help! Can I sync my Palm Desktop with Outlook Web Access?? I'm using a T5 -- NOT wireless, but cable-synced

I have spent the last 3+ weeks trying to get my Palm Desktop information to sync with an Outlook Web Access account.
I have been able to sync my Palm Desktop info with Outlook 2007, and I have been able to acess an Outlook Web Access account through a microsoft exchange server.
BUT, when I talk with tech support.... I get several conflicting answers. One tech says it should be easily possible; one says I need to buy another monthly service; one says it is impossible and I should just buy a Blackberry.
At this point.... I'm not sure I actually care what the answer is, but I would just like a definitive answer....
I have a Palm Tungsten T5.
I want to sync that Contact and Calendar information regularly with an Outlook Web Access account so that my colleagues can see and edit my schedule as needed.... then the info would sync BACK to my Palm so that I can have my current schedule with me.
Can anyone shed some light on this please??
Thank you!
Emily Koenig
Post relates to: Tungsten T5

The short answer is no.
The t-5 has the ability to connect to an exchange server but the version of versamail it has would only sync mail and calendar. You would have to have a wifi card to be able to do even that. To do what you would want you would need to upgrade the versamail client (I don't believe Palm has an upgrade for the T-5) and a wifi card.
