Need help to hot sync Palm with iBook

I have an "old" Palm product, m105, which hot syncs via a cradle that involves the old-fashioned serial port. I've been able to install and hot sync successfully on PCs before, but never could on my Macs because of the serial pins. I just received today a Keyspan USB serial port adapter from Palm, allowing me to connect the cradle from my laptop to the USB port.
However, I am unable to hot sync. This message appears on my Palm: "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your set up and try again." Nothing appears on the laptop computer screen.
I have checked everything I know to check, but, of course, I've been unsuccessful. I need some direction as to what else to do.
I'd appreciate any help, and let me know if you need more information from me. Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Generally, Palm cautions that "…if you use a Serial to USB adapter other than the one distributed by Palm - for example, the Keyspan USB adapter - it must be plugged in at startup and continue to be used in the same USB port."
Keyspan provides instructions for installing and using their adapter with Palm devices, beginning here:
http://www.keyspan.com/support/macosx/usa/docs/html/homepage19.html
If you need more help, I think you'll find the technical support personnel at Keyspan much better informed and more helpful than those at Palm.

Hot Sync problems with Windows Vista using a Tungsten E2

Need Help solving a hot sync problem. Have a Tungsten E2, about a year old. Use Windows Vista OS. Can not sync to desktop. It worked fine for awhile then stopped sync'ing. Have reinstalled Palm Software, Have downloaded Palm 6.2. Have deleted all 3rd party apps,,,and their back up files. Particulary,,,,Epocrates apps, Took over my PDA. Installations and updates gets to synchronizing Calender and 'freezes' have left it on overnight figurng lots of data,,,,no progress. I need help. I really enjoy using this equipment. I use my PDA for all my scheduling of work shifts appts etc. I would appreciate some suggestions. Thanks in advance. Mike.
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. So if I am understanding you when you try to sync it goes to calendar and freezes and never completes the sync. That being the case the first thing you want to do is go to the conduits and turn off calendar then sync and all should be successful, except calendar will not sync. What this indicates is that you have corrupted data in your calendar, most likely on the E2. Do a google search on your computer for a utility 'dbfixit' and download it to your computer. Extract it so you have the dbfixit.prc file and double click on it to put it in the installer. Then, insuring the calendar conduit is off, sync to install it. Once installed run dbfixit. This utility is free or can be purchased for (I believe) 12.95. The free version will search for corruption and problems let you know where they are and you will have to manually fix or delete them. If you register it, when you run the utility it will find the errors and fix them as well. Once all errors are fixed, turn the calendar conduit back on and you should be able to sync.

Hot sync Palm m500

I have a couple of old, but ever so useful, Palm m500/m505 PDAs, which I could hot-sync with my old PC running on Windows XP. Now I have up-graded to PC with Windows 7 Home Version - 32 bit and am at my wit's end trying to hot sync my PDA data on to my PC Palm Desktop.
As I am of the older generation, (a senior citizen), could an expert give me step-by-step instructions on how to resolve my problem. My Palm m500 PDA has too many contacts to manually transfer.
Also can I convert PDA contacts to Outlook Address Book and then hot-sync with Palm m500 series PDA ?
Waiting anxiously for help and guidance ..........

Hello myrarego,
I see that you are having a problem syncing your Palm device to your PC.
I would suggest posting your problem here at the HP Commercial Forum as well. This forum is specific to Palm products and you may find some more assistance.

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!

Syncing Palm with Outlook 2007

I have a Palm Treo 755p that I would like to sync with Oracle Calendar. The computer being used has Vista and Office 2007 installed. Palm Desktop 6.2.2 with Hotsync 7.0.2 is also installed. I have found that Oracle Calendar Sync does not work with this setup so I have configured Oracle Connector for Outlook and Hotsync Outlook conduits. I am able to sync this way but have run in to issues with duplicate calendar entries and contacts. I am in a support environment where some customers do not use Outlook but still want to sync to OCAL. I am curious what other people are using and their thoughts on syncing Palm products with OCAL through Vista.

If you have a data plan, and don't need outlook, then just get Synthesis Syncml for $22.
Not sure if the Palm version of the conduits would work with your Treo though. When I had a Palm PDA, they never failed on me. Outlook on the other hand - ugh...

Smooth switch from Pylon Conduits to XTNDConnect PC, to sync Palm with Lotus Notes

I've used Pylon Conduits (software purchased from sybase.com) for years, to sync my Palm Zire 72 (Palm OS 5.0) with Lotus Notes at work. I also used HotSync to sync the Palm with my home computer's Palm Desktop. Essentially a 3-way calendar sync, very convenient!
There was a documented Pylon problem with recurring entries turning into duplicate entries, and there were occasions where I'd delete an entry from one calendar that didn't stay deleted after sync'ing. However, all in all, my imperfect 3-way sync was worthwhile. At least the entries erred on the side of caution--better too many than not enough.
Sadly, I learned, Pylon issued an "end of life" notice earlier this year. After my office pushed down a patch that messed with Pylon, I was recently forced to find other conduit software. EasySync was recommended to me, but I can't remember what flaw prevented my using it--maybe it wouldn't sync Lotus Notes recurring entries at all? Can't remember.
Anyway, with low expectations, I tried XTNDConnect PC software (another sybase.com product, $60, to replace Pylon). For what I use it for (calendar, to-do, memos), XTNDConnect PC is marvelous, better than Pylon Conduits! Simple, yet powerful. I guess it's pronounced "extendConnect PC," but I will ignore the cumbersome name. Its conduits are not just for Palm and not just for Lotus Notes either, but when you tell it what you're using it for, it is so friendly as to show only your relevant options.
XTNDConnect PC handles recurring entries nicely. And it addresses how Contacts fields differ in Palm vs. Lotus Notes: It shows how/which fields are mapped by default, plus it allows you to customize field mapping for all Contacts fields.
One change I had to figure out was that while Pylon sync'd Palm's "Memos" with Lotus Notes email "Drafts" folder, XTND instead syncs Palm's "Memos" with a Lotus Notes "Journal" database (which I had to establish and bookmark on my work computer). No big, once I figured out what was going on. I got some help from XTNDConnect PC customer service--free by email, and responsive within hours.
I saw in perhaps old specs for XTND that for email, you have to install some additional software (to supplement XTND) if you're syncing a Palm using OS higher than 3.0. However, I can't say anything more about this because I don't use the email conduit.

Need help in Creating DB manually with OFA

Hi,
I want to create database in 10g manually and for this purpose
I need help.
since we can use OFA for storing Control files, and redolog file
and datafile by describing them in Create database command but
how to store any instance related file like spfile, pfile or network
related file.
once the oracle 10g database software is installed then if we want
to create database then how can we separate the database file and
all other instance files from software binaries because I've noted
that creating database with DBCA create all instance files along with
binary files of the software although DBCA give you option of creating
database related file in some other location/directory.
kindly help me in this I want to achieve above task in compliance with
OFA
Thanks and Regards,

Thanks and Regards,
D.AbbasiTHe OFA spec (as best I recall) states that one of the levels of directory for all of your data files will be the db name. So if you name your database 'orcl', every file system in which you keep any files related to 'orcl' will be in a directory name 'orcl'.
As for what happend when you created your db. Oracle will default to putting things in the Oracle home structure because that's the only thing he can guarantee will be there. But you had the option (indeed, the obligation) to override these defaults.
BTW, when using dbca, if you chose any of the pre-canned database types, the database will be created by doing a restore from a pre-canned backup. If you chose 'custom' database, the database will be created by way of a CREATE DATABASE script. It would be instructive time well spent for you to go through dbca and select 'custom database', pay attention to all of the options as you work through, then at then end, deselect "create database" and select "generate scripts". Do the same for one of the pre-defined database types. Then study the scripts generated by each method.

Need Help Please: Audigy2 Value conflict with onboard sound

<SPAN class=postbody>System info: Windows XP Home Edition, 2.4 GHz IntelPent4, 52MB of RAM; DDR 200(33MHz), MSI MS-6547 (645 Ultra) motherboard. I need help! Sigh...well I am trying to put in a Soundblaster Audigy2 into my computer. I am under the impression that I have to disable and remove all onboard sound b/c it conflicts with the new sound card, ?. I currently have onboard sound ( AC97 Audio Controller ). I went to add/remove programs and removed the AC97 from there. I also went to MyComputer/Properties/Hardware/DeviceManager/Sound,Video,andGameControllers/AC97AudioContoller and deleted it. st Question: Under DeviceManager/Sound,Video,GameControllers...Do I need to remove the Legacy Audio Drivers? I know that I have to delete the rest of the drivers for AC97 and out of chance would Legacy be those drivers? I am guessing no...Also, is there anything else that I have to delete for the on board sound program to be gone? 2nd Question: I went to BIOS, and since I have windows XP home edition I think that configuration is a little different from what I read(I wont bore you with that). So, where do I go to "disable" the onboard sound in BIOS for Windows XP HomeEdition? Also, I read something about making sure the "Chip" was disabled but I could be paranoid. Do I need to worry about that? If you made it through all that text I thank you dearly. I hope that I can get some help from someone b/c I know nothing. I am afraid of making the wrong choice on BIOS and messing everything up. Thank You so Much! Ross Message Edited by RossRude3 on 04-06-2005 0:48 AM

Ross,
To fully disable teh onboard audio you would need to go into the BIOS to disable the Onboard Audio chip there. The manual with your motherboard or PC should have more detail on where exactly to find this setting, as it will differ per BIOS type. Generally it should be under a heading like Integrated Peripherals, and should be marked as the Onboard Audio chip, or AC97 Audio.

Need help in Custom component creation with cq

Hi,
I have created my own component in adobe cQ and able to drag an drop in any page. for each instance I am seeing the copy of
component under node /content/mypage/commoncomp. If I edit the properties using design dialog I can able to store values as
expected.
Need help in
1) When I drag and drop the component it shows null for the property by deafult if I click save on edit dialog then the
value is showing. The default value is not shown by default while drag and drop my component it requires atleast one time to
click save from dialog using design mode
2) I need to use the default properties of the orginal components which is root and use the duplicated properties if incase user edit the properties of duplicated component. This may be too messy.... to be more clear
I want to use a common component in many pages but the properties of the components should be updated only when user edit it in design dialog utill then I need the page to use properties of root component.
Thanks

You just need to create your own version of PlumtreeTopBarView (original in com.plumtree.common.uiparts), and use CustomActivitySpace.xml to override that view with your own view. Your version would use some kidn fo logic to determine whether or not to display certain elements. TheUI Customization Guide should help quite a bit, and we have several quickstarts for overriding views you can start from.
Is there some Help file in PT that I can reference that will enable me to find what namespace does GetRequestURL() belongs to?I would simply do a string compare. Tokenize the URL into the base address / control arguments, perhaps splitting on the "?" symbol; then tokenize the base address on the ".". You'll end up with three strings. For portal.plumtree.com, the three strings would portal, plumtree, and com. You can then use those string in the logig you add to PlumtreeTopBarView.

Need help stopping Application Sync

Is there anyway to stop the application sync. Everytime I try to do a sync for music and dont allow an application sync, my apps get deleted. AM I doomed to sync both?

In Hot Sync,
Bring down the options menu (the key with the lines and down arrow).
Go to Connection Setup, New, and choose Connect To: "PC". Via: "Bluetooth". You can choose a name for this connection.
Go back to the main Hot Sync screen.
With "Local" highlighted, you should have a menu below the hot sync icon and your connection name should be listed.
Make sure that is your chosen connection when you sync and you shouldn't have to go through the setup each time.

Really need help to get my Palm TX syncing

I am pulling my hairs out RTFM and all TF posts I can find.
This is what I've tried:
gpasswd -a reploid tty
added 'visor' to modules in /etc/rc.conf
played around with multiple settings in the preferences window, /dev/tty/USB1, USB0, /dev/pilot
edited /etc/group and put my username under tty
removed the symlink /dev/pilot according to this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=10944
A) #ln -s /dev/tts/USB1 /dev/pilot
* now if you get a #ln -s /dev/tts/USB1 /dev/pilot
ln: `/dev/pilot': File exists *
all you have to do is
B) #rm /dev/pilot
this just removes the link to the old port no worries
then just run command A) again ^
now you will want correct premissions wink
C) # chmod 0777 /dev/pilot
now this should give your normal user premissions to access the sync function of your palm pilot
I haven't messed around with udev yet.
dmesg shows this:
visor ttyUSB0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
visor ttyUSB1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1
visor 3-1:1.0: device disconnected
hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 3

usb 3-1: USB disconnect, address 25
visor ttyUSB0: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
visor ttyUSB1: Handspring Visor / Palm OS converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1
Any clues on where I should start, or what I should do? Please? Pretty please with sugar on top?

I am on a new Arch Install now. After adding myself to uucp, installing jpilot, pushing hotsync on palm and waiting 3sek + before pressing jpilot's sync button, my palm connects to jpilot. Yay!! Thank u.
There is still a few problems:
1) I can only sync if I start jpilot by typing sudo jpilot in the terminal. Otherwise I get this error message:
[reploid@archcomputer tts]$ jpilot
(jpilot:12332): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "mist",

Now what the heck?
My permissions are the following:
in /dev
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2008-08-16 16:42 pilot -> tts/USB1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 5, 0 2008-08-16 13:08 tty
in /dev/tts:
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 0 2008-08-16 16:42 USB0
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 188, 1 2008-08-16 16:42 USB1
So what permissions do I need to set??
2 question:
typing gnome-pilot, gpilot or kpilot doesn't bring up neither application. I am on openbox, so I need to figure out how to configure the menu/ what command that will start gnome-pilot.
Again, thanx for all help so far, I am happy that the palm is recognized on my arch system, and this n00b greatly appreciates your input.

But whether it will work with an older PowerPC-based Mac depends on which model the webcam is. Newer ones require a newer Mac.
Unless you have a newer Mac mini, you're not likely to need a webcam because newer Macs (MacBooks and iMacs) have built-in webcams.
