Change from Palm to Blackberry

Hi,
I have a Palm Desktop version 6.2.2, is it possible to change my data to a blackberry 8520?
Thanks very much

What do you mean the Palm Desktop? Are trying to Palm desktop with a BlackBerry device? Why don't you download and install BlackBerry Desktop Manager for BlackBerry???

Moving from Palm

I have used a Palm Zire 31 for the last umpteen years.I have now
switched to the iPhone and want to copy my calendar over. I exported
and imported to iCal and now all my events are repeated every day to
eternity. Nothing makes sense. Is there a way to do this and keep the
integrity of the calendar or do I just need to start over?
I think my contacts will sync ok, but the calendar is making me nuts.
Thanks.

yes it is possible. Please read :

For some reason it must not be recognizing the Palm Desktop software.
Once before, I had to export all Palm data to aCSV or XLS file (I forget which) and then import it all to my Outlook, then sync Outlook to the BlackBerry.
I found this....

Transfer Data from Palm OS to BlackBerry 10 Smartphones - US

(I am Posting this a 2nd time because I'm not sure it went through the first time; got some kind of authenication error message.)
- 1. What is the best way to transfer my PIM Organizer Data from my Palm TX to a BlackBerry Z10?
- 2. How do I obtain the standalone BlackBerry Desktop Software, latest Build of v.6.1? or even a version later than 6.1? or should I obtain v.5.0.1? or v.4.7?
I am currently a U.S. Cellular customer and when they make the BlackBerry Z10 available, I plan to switch from my Motorola feature phone to the Z10. I currently also use a Palm TX PDA (Palm OS Garnet v.5.4.9) and use Palm Desktop Software v.4.2 ( = the CD installation version of
v.4.1.4e?) on a Windows XPmachine. I could upgrade the Palm Desktop to v.6.2.2, but I haven't because v.4.2 on Windows XP is working well for me.
The support page for Z10, Transfer from iPhone & Android to BlackBerry 10 Smartphones - US ( http://us.blackberry.com/support/transferring-to-bb10-device/personal.html ) implies that it does not support direct transfer from Palm OS to BB v10; only transfers from Androids and iPhones, as well as from other BBs, are supported. I have searched your Knowledge Base and found several articles that tell me how to migrate my PIM data from Palm OS to earlier versions of BlackBerry. I then presume that once I have my data imported into the earlier version of BB Desktop I can then later import it into the BB10 Desktop software; am I correct?
Here are the Knowledge Base articles I found:
1. Article ID:
KB03050 ( http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB03050 ) - How to transfer contact information from a Palm OS device to a BlackBerry smartphone
2. Article ID:
KB04346 ( http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB04346 ) - Field mapping list for the PIM Data Migration Wizard
3. Article ID:
KB04437 - ( http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB04437 ) How to use the organizer data migration wizard
4. Article ID:
KB05421 - ( http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB05421) What is the Switch Device Wizard?
The four articles all give slightly different advice, but
Articles # 2 & 4
imply that I can export the PIM data from Palm to BlackBerry Desktop Manager
v.5.0.1
and seem to have the most simple and clear instructions. However,
Article #3
implies that I should use BB Desktop Manager no higher than
v.4.7
, and
Article #1
implies that I can use BB Desktop Software as recent as
v.6.1
and use "Method #2", which seems very long and complicated by transferring data to
Microsoft Outlook
as an intermediary step!
So I am confused as to which method to use.
Articles #2 & 4 & BB Desktop software v.5.0.1 seem the simplest, but if I need to use the latest possible version, 6.1 with Outlook as an intermediary to get superior results, then I am willing to follow this more complicated method as described in article #1. I want to use the method that will give me the best results with the lowest error rate, even it may be the most complicated way.
... Help!
P.S.
I also use
Agendus for Windows Palm Desktop Edition v.5.42( http://www.iambic.com/agendus/winpded/):
"Agendus for Windows is an application that enhances how you view your calendar, contacts, tasks and memos. It also provides intuitive tools, such as text capturing, a free time finder, voice recording, advanced search capabilities and Internet features (weather, driving directions, address lookup). All of these things help in make scheduling extremely easy and hassle free."
It can form hypertext links between the separate databases of the Palm Desktop (calendar, contacts, tasks and memos) so you can flip back & forth between the databses without having to close one before you open the other.
There's also an
Agendus for BlackBerry version (
http://www.iambic.com/agendus/blackberry/
), but was developed pre-BB 10, and I think the code is sufficiently different between the BB and Palm versions, that I don't think it is easy to transfer data between them since the BlackBerry version synchronizes with Agendus for Windows Outlook Edition ( http://www.iambic.com/agendus/winoued/).
When I transfer my PIM data from my Palm to a BB-Z10, will I be able to keep those active hypertext links in Agendus in the transfer and still have them work?
P.P.S.
I also have
Palm Desktop by Access v.6.2.2 ( http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb/na/tungsten/tx/unlocked/solutions/article/32859_en.html )installed on a Windows 7 machine, but I find that v.4.2 w/ the Windows XP machine tends to work better. However, I am willing to use whatever combination of Palm Desktop version together with Windows OS version that will get me the best and most accurate results. Palm Desktop v.6.2.2 also has an extension called Palm Conduit Switcher Application (OutlookSwitcher.exe v.1.3.0, which is accessible through Start > Palm > PIM conduit sync > Sync with Outlook) which supposedly will change my Palm handheld to sync w/ Outlook instead of with Palm Desktop; would that accomplish the same thing as Article #1 (ID: KB03050 > Method 2 > Tasks 1,2 & 3) and maybe be easier or do it better? But it would seem that the KB03050 method would leave my Palm Desktop intact, whereas the OutlookSwitcher application could delete my Palm Desktop in a process that would convert my data permanently to Outlook; am I correct? An earlier version of OutlookSwitcher.exe also is included in Palm Desktop v.4.2.
There are so many questions and options for me, I don't know which way to go! If you and your colleagues don't know the best way either, then I will most likely follow the advice in KB03050 in conjunction w/ upgrading my Palm Desktop to 6.2.2 on my Windows XP machine, since I would have the most control over datafield mapping, and the extra work spent doing that may pay off with a smaller error rate after the transfer, which gets me back to my second question at the top of this article: How can I obtain a copy of the latest Build of BlackBerry Desktop Software v.6.1 as a stand-alone application into which I can transfer all my PIM Data first, *before* I install & syncronize the new BB10 phone? Or should I use a version later than 6.1?
Sorry for this being so long and convoluted, but after going through all the permutations and combinations, it should be obvious to you that I now need the support of someone more expert and experienced in this before I do anything else. Thanks!

Hey telemarkdoc,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Currently you can not transfer data from a Palm smartphone to a BlackBerry 10 smartphone through BlackBerry Link. Also previous versions of BlackBerry Desktop Software will not work with BlackBerry 10 smartphones.
The only way this could work is that you transfer the information from the Palm software to Microsoft Outlook and then BlackBerry Link can synchronize the contacts and calendar information to the BlackBerry Z10.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Possible convert to Blackberry from Palm - please help with outlook questions

I'm debating switching from a Palm Treo 800 (battery life is awful) to Blackberry Curve. I chose the Treo because of active sync with my work exchange server and ability to open Office documents.
Currently, I sync my outlook mail, tasks & calendar with work, and my contacts & notes with my home computer. So if i follow your instructions for using BIS instead of BES (my employer only provides BES service for a carrier which is not mine ...), will I be able to sync manually with a cable to my work computer for calendar & tasks and then to my home computer for contacts & notes?
I have to decide THIS WEEK if I'm going to switch from Palm to Blackberry, so please hurry! The blackberry seems like it's a lot more fun than the Palm, and your support is much more extensive and user-friendly!

Ok, so if both machines are Outlook based, I would not see a problem,
You would need 2 DM programs one at work and one at home.
For work you can specify sync for tasks and calendar, for home sync contacts and notes.
Both calendars would have to be the Outlook calendar as default.
You can the have the synced BB and would have the ability to backup on both machines, or better yet, back up on one machine to eliminate confusion. In case of failure, you have a backup of ALL data.
You wouldn't have to convert anything because Outlook is fully compatible with the Desktop Manager.
I don't see a problem.
Thanks

Switching from Treo to Blackberry

I am thinking about switching from a Palm Treo to a Blackberry world edition 8830 (Verizon). I will need to sync with both a mac and a pc. I'm reasonably competent but not a techie by any means, so I need to keep things simple. Our institutional tech support does not support PDA's so I have no tech support at work, even though I can load the blackberry software onto my computer. I need to go through webmail to check my office email on a PDA (can't link directly). I'm looking mainly to check email, have web access, and have an integrated phone/address book. Does the 8830 seem like a good choice? Also, is it easy to sync the calendar on the 8830 with Google calendar? Will it be easy to move my data from Palm to Blackberry (I don't use Outlook)?

The blackberry device is your best option.

Switching from Palm OS to BlackBerry

Help! I'm so frustrated that I'm ready to return my BBStorm2 and try an iPhone. I've been trying to transfer my calendar and contacts from Palm OS to BB. I'm also using a Mac.

Maybe you should visit a Palm or Treo user forum and ask that question? Afterall, this is the BlackBerry user forum.
I know on a PC, you can export all of your Palm desktop data to the PC to an excel file, from which you can then import the excel data either to Outlook (Entourage on your Mac) or direct to the BlackBerry device.

Contacts not moving from phonebook in my blackberry after removing from my contacts google contacts

contacts in my addressbook in my blackberry are not getting updated properly via automatic sync by gmail.
contacts are not getting deleted from phonebook when they are removed from "my contacts" in Google contacts, but new additions and deletions are getting synced.
when i tried to delete the contacts from my handheld after they have been moved from "my contacts", they got deleted all together. please help.
additional info : BB 9360, OS 7.1
when we pray God responds us by providing “Opportunities”

I've spent the better part of an afternooon trying to get my Outlook contacts transfered to my E5 phone. After several attempts I was able to get the OVI software to install (Windows Vista OS). I Now when I go th sync my Outlook contacts, the "sync now" button is greyed out. Any suggestions?

Moving to iPhone from palm

I have a palm t/x with about three years of calendar entries and address book, all for my business. If I decide to go to iPhone, will the old Palm calendar and date book be able to be synced to the new phone? Otherwise I may have to wait for the palm Pre?

I moved from my palm 72 to a Centro to my iPhone 3G, and I'm waiting for the Pre to come out. I miss most of all being able to search my calendar, which unbelievably, the iphone doesn't do.
So since you have 3 years of calendar info that you want to transfer, but won't be able to search through, you should wait for the Pre.

A few suggestion from a new BlackBerry 10 user.

Hello everyone. Im a new BlackBerry user and BB Z10 is my first BlackBerry device ever. I moved from Android to BB 10. BlackBerry 10 is a nice OS but some of the basic things are not functioning correct even after 1 year of release. I will mention some here.
I can type first letter of my message/note etc in small alphabet letters. No matter what i do first letter (after full stop or first letter itself doesnt matter) is typed in full alphabetical letter. thats a big pain and it isn't solved yet.
When you are deleting a written text like you typed a message but you want to delete the first 3 or 4 words and you press and hold the backspace key on your BB 10 keyboad, it deletes the 3 or 4 words but if you dont release the key then it also starts deleting other words as well. well show a video demo if you don't understand what im saying.
there is led light but i don't see much use of it. its only used for notfications and only one light is used Red and there is no built-in led pattern editor. BlackBerry should atleast add a charging and battery full indicator as its very useful and must have one for led notification lights.
File transferring via BB link is toooo much slow. only 300 to 600 kb/s which too much slow. Improve this. I dont know whether its BB link issue or BB 10 issue.
No Built-In backup app. Come on BlackBerry even Asha 200 have a Built in backup manager.
Thats it for now. I will update post when i will find something else. BlackBerry 10 is really a nice OS. Its smooth and Fluid, swipe gestures are great. Im in love with my Z10.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. You "can not"? That's not a bug. Just backspace and type the letter again, and it might require a third try, but it will work. That won't change, it's not a bug, it is intentional.
2. I understand, you are holding down the backspace key too long. Tap to set your cursor at the end of the words to delete. Swipe ONE finger across the keyboard from right side to left side to delete ONE word. Use two finger swiping right to left to delete TWO words.
3. There several third-party LED control and notification apps, BeBuzz, Hub++, and others. Check your App World.
4. Transferring via the USB cable? Doing so over WiFi is quicker in my experience. If you need help with this, please ask.
5. Link has a built in backup. In the past, Protect would backup over the air, but not on BlackBerry10 OS devices. I use FireChest Backup, for good and varied backup options.
The z10 is a great device, glad to hear you're enjoying it.

Email moved from inbox to deleted items automatically

I have 1 user that is getting email moved from his inbox to his deleted items folder automatically.
I have checked the AutomateProcessing setting and that does not seem to be the problem.
He does have a blackberry through thier web service that syncs email but the settings there are to leave messages alone and has work for over a year now.
This just started happening without any known changes being made. He is the only user that is having this issue.
Messages will stay in the inbox for a few minutes to a few hours before they are moved. It does not seem to coincide with blackberry syncing or any other owa\outlook mailbox access.
I checked the exchange message tracking logs but that only tracks a message once it gets to the mailbox. Is there a feature that can log when a message is moved from one folder to another and what\who made the request to do so?
Just me and me alone keeps this ship afloat!

Check info:
1.      Could you tell the version of exchange and outlook? Currently, I assume it’s exchange 2003
Exchange 2007
2.      Is there any other user got same issue?
No other users seem to be effected.
3.      What’s the setting of AutomateProcessing?
Currently set to "None"
4.      Quote: “user has never created a rule in his life”
Does it mean there are no rules in “Rules and Alerts” option in the “Tools” menu?
Yes
5.      Please move the mailbox of the problematic user to another mailbox store, which can fix the corruption of mailbox, including corrupted rules (If has)
Single Exchange server installation. Do not have another mailbox store.
Just me and me alone keeps this ship afloat!

Import data from Palm Z22

Anybody know how I can import the contact, calendar and to do information from my old Palm Z22 PDA into the iPad 2?

For anyone else still looking for a solution. I recently successfully added all my memos, tasks, datebook and address files from palm desktop to iPad. I uses a program called Dejaoffice which you can get as a trial. Use this to move all to your outlook files, tidy up then do a once only sync to iPad. After this you don't need Dejaoffice. However I did find it as a handy program....if you keep it watch out for duplicating data with outlook. Hope this helps all others to avoid a painful conversion program whilst grieving the loss of your faithful Palm and moving into the new Apple world.

Form button does not work when a program is moved from Windows 8.2 to Windows 7

Hi,
I have a few Excel programs which use the ODBC to get data from Access and which have macros which writes data to an external program, MYOB.
When the macros tries to write the data to MYOB it fails if I am not running the program in administrator mode.   It seems that Windows 8.2 has a different level of security than Windows 7 and must be run in administrator mode for the ODBC to work.
I have had issues after running the program in administrator mode (testing) if I simply do a save (in administrator mode) and then send it to the customer.   The issue is that it just will not work on the customer's site.   I have gotten
around this in the past by saving any changes, going back out of excel, loading the program again (not in administrator mode) and saving it - before sending it to the customer.   This worked until now.
For some unknown reason, the last time I sent a program to the customer and carried out the above process, the program stopped working. Originally I thought that the macro just wouldn't work on windows 7, but eventually found that it is the form button
that will no longer work when the program is moved from 8.2 to 7.
Does anyone know why there is an incompatibility between 8.2 and Windows 7 and what I should be doing to ensure that my programs work in my customers environment(windows7)?
In the meanwhile, I have changed the form button to an activex button and the program works fine in both environments.
Thanking you in advance,

there is some OP report after Windows update Dec 2014 macro stop responding ( I cant confirm if this is also related to your issue) its because security update for Office maybe conflict with the active-x that you are installed
try to
Close Excel
Start Windows Explorer.
Select your system drive (usually C:)
Use the Search box to search for *.exd
Delete all the files it finds.
Start Excel again
Open that file and save it, and try open at Windows 7
to get more detail about this issue, I suggest also contact Office forum
this case also will be solve installing kb3025036
good luck

HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.
