My Palm TX won't preform a HotSync without crashing
I recently went a couple of week without HotSyncing and then finally did yesterday. After finishing the HotSync my TX crashed and was stuck in a reset loop. I first performed a warm reset which pulled it out of the loop until it shut off and when I brought it back up it was in a loop again. So I preformed a Hard reset and HotSynced to get my data back on the TX, this once again through it into the same loop. So I thought it might be something on my pc so I backed up my data and used my cd to remove and reinstall Palm Desktop and repeated the Hard reset. But this didn't fix it, same problem on HotSync. As of now I hav a working wiped TX with no way to get my old data on it. Is there some way to get my calandar, contact, and memo data back on it with HotSyncing, like maybe thought the SD card.

When you delete Palm Desktop, it does not delete user data unless you manually Delete the folder tree.
You need to find the directory and rename the /Backup section of it to anything else - "/BackupOLD" works just fine (no quotes).
This will give you your PIM data back, but it will not install any of the programs causing the problem.
The directory (on a windows machine) looks like this:
C:/Program Files/Palm/ Hotsync user name truncated /Backup.
In short:
- hard reset
- locate backup folder under palm desktop folder tree
- rename to backup_old
- sync, select old id. This will bring back PIMs (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Memos) but no settings nor programs
- reinstall applications one by one AFTER making sure they are compatible with the target device.

Won't let me hotsync without password
Im trying to sync to my computer but it keeps on asking me for a password that i don't know. So how could i go about this to find out what my password is? I have a palm centro
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)There is really no way to find out the password. If you don't know it or forgot the password, you will need to hard reset the Centro to erase the password. This will erase all data and 3rd party apps. on the device.
Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding reset procedures.

Palm TX won't work with new wifi router
I have used a Belkin 54g for years with no problem. I set up a Netgear N300 and my Palm TX won't connect. I even tried using guest connect with no security and still nothing. I'm stuck. All of my other equipment connects just fine.
Hi and welcome to the Forums.
If you have not already been through it, please review the Wi-Fi Checklist thread which is "stickied" to the top of this board. Hopefully something there will resolve your connection issue.

Message Edited by onthehill on 02-06-2008 03:30 PMHas this ever been resolved? It looks like it's 5 months old and I don't see any replies. I saw this and immediately thought of the DEP(Data Execution Protection) feature that is a characteristic of Windows Vista. If you go to your control panel,to system, to advanced system settings, and then click the settings button in the performance section, the DEP is the third thumnail to the right(should be the last one there). This is where you can turn it on or off and add programs for it to ignore.
However, usually when it's the DEP that kills a program unexpectedly, the operating system has usually made it known to the user that it was the DEP.

For some reason my new palm centro won't ring, show any missed calls, or let me check my voicemail at home, even though it shows all bars and appears to have network service. I can, however, do all of these things in other locations.
I was on the phone w/ tech support for 45 minutes trying to get to the bottom of it and they said I should consider having it replaced where I bought it. But I've been reading online complaints from others who have gotten replacement phones and are having the same problems so I don't want to replace it if that won't address the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
ross

As I understand your situation, the phone works correctly (it rings, shows missed calls, and lets you check voice mail, etc.) in locations other than your home. When you get home, these things no longer work?
Are you able to make any outgoing calls from your home?

Trying to reset administrator name/password by using the Mac OS X Install disc to reset but it won't allow me to without original administrator name/password. Frustrating. Reason I'm trying to reset is that it seems to be not recognising the administrator name as have changed password in System Preferences - Accounts.
PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)Here's the instructions if you have the discs.
*Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password*
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274?viewlocale=en_US
Changing your administrator password
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh655.html
Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
2. wait for terminal show
3. release keys
4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
5. press enter
6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
7. press enter
8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
9. press enter
This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
Without the discs, try this (OS 10.5 only). *How to Reset User Password via single user mode*
http://macosx.com/forums/howto-faqs/300019-howto-reset-user-password-via-single- user-mode.html
Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
1. Reboot
2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
* mount -uw /
* rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
* shutdown -h now
4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

Firefox won't load my pages without freezing. FF3 never did that
Whenever I go onto the internet to visit any site, FF4 won't load the pages without freezing. I thought it was my internet, but then I downgraded back to FF3 and it worked just fine. For some reason it is only FF4. Internet Explorer works fine too, though I would prefer firefox.
Hi iAmBacon,
Have you tried starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]? It sounds like there might an addon or extension that is causing some problems. If it works in Safe Mode, then follow the instructions in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting article]. It will show you how to enable them one by one until you find the culprit. Hopefully this helps! -

So, I made the mistake of updating Garageband 09 to GB 11 without exporting my songs first. When i try to open one of them it freezes up and won't respond then the program crashes.... any ideas?

You can get a first-gen Mac Pro on eBay for around $300. It can run OS 10.4 through 10.7. Something to consider, depending on the cost of a logic board and the hassle of replacing it. You transfer your existing drives, as long as you have a spare external drive. You would clone your G5 drives to the external drive as disk images, then move the G5 drives to the Mac Pro, re-format them GUID, and clone back the contents from the disk images on the external. I did this recently when I retired my G5. -
my iPod screen won't automatically turn off without manually locking... help!
Does anyone know how to change the settings so it will turn off/dim/lock automatically without needing to press the white button at the top all day? I'm draining batter and it's so annoying!Try:

Hotsync palm tx- won't sync at all
I'm trying to sync my Palm Tx and when i push the button on the USB cord, it initiates the sync, but then it almost looks like it's 're-powering' and take me to the time setting. It won't sync at all. Can anyone help me?
Post relates to: Palm TXIf it's taking you to the "time setting", it's doing a "Reset" by itself. This is not a good thing, as you've figured out already.
As with most problems that occur on a Palm PDA, it is either software or hardware related and we have to determine which one.
Best method is to first make a complete backup of your unit to your SD card using the free "NVBackup" (available from http://www.freewarepalm.com) After the backup is complete, Hard Reset the unit, then test to see if full functionality returns. (Since you can't HotSync, this will only apply to you if you have the program installed already!)
To perform a Hard Reset:
While pressing and holding the Power button down, tap and release the Reset button in back and continue to hold the Power button down. When the grey Palm logo appears, you can release the Power button.
You should now see the warning page in about 5 languages. Press the UP direction on the 5-way pad to complete the task. Your Palm will reset itself several times as it re-installs the original programs and erases all your previous data.
DO NOT HOTSYNC YET! Test the unit before reinstalling any software. If the unit works correctly, your problem is being caused by a "drug interaction" of software - maybe one rogue program, or a combination of several. You'll have to reinstall the third-party programs one or a few at a time to find the problem one. To avoid re-installing a software issue, rename your /Backup directory in your Palm folder (on a PC it's found here: C/Program Files/Palm(One)/"your HotSync ID name truncated"/Backup) to something like "/BackupOLD". Now perform the HotSync, choose your HotSync name you've been using, and all your PIM data will return, but not the third-party programs. Test for functionality again. If all is good, start installing the old programs from your /BackupOLD directory one (or a few if brave) at a time.
If the unit does not work after a Hard Reset is performed correctly, then it may be Hardware-related. (If it's a connection problem via either BlueTooth or Wifi, be sure nothing has changed on the unit you're trying to connect to!)
Hope this has helped,
Wyrenut
