New computer w/Vista

I think I am probably doomed! I have a new computer w/64 vista and an old Palm Pilot that I cannot get to work. I also have a XP computer, so need to beable to sync both if possible?
I have downloaded everything I can find on Palm. I do have bluetooth, but can't find a way to make my handheld use it?
Any suggestions

The only way to sync with Vista 64bit is wirelessly using Bluetooth or Infrared. Since the M130 does not have Bluetooth you can only sync via IR. If your PC does not have an IR port, you will need to purchse an Infrared adaptor that is Vista64 bit compatible.

I just got a new computer with Vista on it. When I hook my WRT54G router to it, I am unable to send e-mails. They get stuck in my OUTBOX and I get a timeout error. I can receive e-mails but cannot send them. Also, my internet can drag at times when the router is connected. When I remove the router, everything works fine.
I've contacted Tech support several times and every suggestion they give doesn't solve the problem. I've updated firmware, changed all sorts of settings in the router setup page, including adjusting my Port Range Forward settings (at the instruction of tech support)
I'm wondering if it's just a Vista thing and I should buy a newer router. I don't know what else to do.
Any suggestions?

Well if you can send emails, when you connect computer to modem directly, then it might be ports forwarding issue. Update firmware of router to latest version and assign a static ip on computer like 192.168.1.11, and obtain ports used by outgoing mail server, and forward those ports to static IP assigned, on router's setup.

I have WRT54G v3. Have new computer running vista -- changed WEP security to WPA. New computer works fine.
Went to use my laptop today and even though it shows a WPA secured connection and says I'm connected -- I can't get on-line. Laptop uses WIN XP. New computer and older wired desktop connecting fine.
What do I need to do to make hp laptop & new hp compatible?
Thanks

I followed directions for Nortons firewall -- I also downloaded Network Magic.
Last night I ran ipconfig on both computers and didn't change anything but they both came on-line. Not sure what or why but they were at least working.
Just now I followed directions for Nortons firewall on new computer which has 2008 I believe........then downloaded Network Magic and installed on both PC & laptop.
The only difference is the version of Norton which os '05 on the laptop. I see a secure connection - WPA - on both computers.
New question: I have a 3rd computer, an older PC which is connected direct to the router. This is primarily for my husband to use for e-mail and browsing the web -- no need to share any files and it has a separate printer. Should I also run Network Magic on that computer or leave it as is?
Thanks so much to both of you. I was up till late worrying about this.

Cannot connect a new computer with vista

Hi !
I have the wireless router WRT54G and I am currently using a computer with Windows 2000 to connect to the router. The router works perfectly with this computer. However, I bought a new sony computer with windows vista. This new computer recognizes the router and is connected to it. However, when I open the explorer and cannot go to any web page. Can anybody help me out with this? Thanks!
Matias

ohhh..too complicated... you dont need to customize the settings if its already connected to the network.
>>If its already connected, make sure its getting an ip address coming from the router with a valid dns servers.
>>Try to ping router's default gateway and check if its communicating with it.
>>ping a website *(ex. ping yahoo.com)*. check if its getting replies.
Its just a simple and basic networking procedure.

New Computer with VISTA 64 bit won't work with Palm OS on TX - no bluetooth

I bought a new computer without researching the 64-bit vs 32 bit Vista versions and didn't discover until I had it up and running that I can't install the Palm Desktop on it. My TX is only a couple of months old. I don't want to replace it and can't get a bluetooth adapter right now, budgetwise. What I want to know is: 1. Is ther some other work around than the clunky bluetooth one? and 2. Is Palm working on a 64-bit compatible version?

ebullister:
Before firing off an embarrassing rant, how about searching this forum for an answer first?
You are asking about Palm Desktop, and the ability to perform a HotSync. You have replied to a post that is over three years old. We have a section of the Forum devoted to Windows HotSync named as such.
In this section, you will find a post entitled "64bit Palm Desktop drivers are here". USB drivers have been around since April of 2011. Please read through this post since it provides an answer to your issue.
Palm Inc. sold the rights to Palm Desktop many years ago to PalmSource, who then sold it to a Japanese company named Access. They were the company who you so eloquently described as the one to "screw users".
BTW, Palm Inc. ceased to exist some time ago since being purchased by HP. Posting a complaint against a company that exists only in memory seems a bit pointless, no?
Hopefully my reply can bring you up to speed, and enable you to sync your device.

New computer with vista, old computer with xp

My old computer has xp and LV8.
I just bought a new one with Vista.
I have several applications that I programmed and I am wondering if they will work in vista.
Any suggestions about partitioning and installing xp and sticking with it. Or what would I need to get applications built with 8.0 to work on a vista computer.
Jim

The first version of LabVIEW that is officially supported under Vista is 8.2.1. You may not have any problems with 8.0 but you will have to install all new drivers for any hardware you might be using (DAQmx, NI-VISA, etc.).

Import iTunes Library from External Drive to New Computer with Vista

I can't seem to "import" my entire iTunes library from my external hard drive to my new computer. However, I can import songs one-by-one. There must be a way to transfer the whole file at once but it is beyond me. Anyone have a solution?

Hi I am new and have found a way to import Files & Folders over my home network and or other drives.
Start in File, click "Add File to Library", or "Add Folder to Library". In the “look in” dropdown window, locate the File or folder and double click on it. It should begin to transfer. I have never transferred an enter library though.
On a personal note,
I have come to realize that I can only transfer iTunes music. I can not transfer or even find the music that I have installed from a CD into my iTunes library. iTunes dose recognize even the folder that such music is in. If any of you have an answer to this problem let me know.
Thanks

Palm Treo 755p -- bought new computer with Vista and downloaded Download Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2 -- now the sync does not work, asks for drivers

Hello...
I am new to the Palm (~1mo.) but I was using hotsync with my old laptop which had Windows XP and was not experiencing any real problems. That computer is going bye-bye, I bought an HP with the Vista OS and I followed the directions on downloading the Download Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2 from the website but now I can not get my device to sync-- The Desktop computer asks for the appropriate drivers. I tried searching online, on the disk that came with the smartphone and even reinstalling a couple times and everything is dead in the water...
Anyone able to help me out on this?
Is there an additional patch of some sort to download?
Post relates to: Palm m515

Just in case it is not clear... that post was made after I bought the bluetooth adapter and tried following the advice provided in the Vista 64 Hotsync solution found! post. Again-- my statement of not working is for the following reasons:
1) my PC tells me that the sychronization completed with errors.
2) when I look at the log that the Backup sychronization aborted.
3) It almost invariably tells me that it Failed to backup 1 file(s) and that file is "NetworkProfiles2" through a "Protocol Error: Unknown error. (6410)"
4) many of my contacts (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
5) many of my appointments (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
The information about creating a virtual serial port on my PC comes from my actual palm itself. The palm info is in the HotSynch verbage and it tells me to contact my computer manufacturer. In doing so however they have no idea how to do this and Palm does not either. I am still working with HP on trying to resolve that part of it but I am thinking from the hours of research that Palm wants me to create another COM port but again the help I am finding on this is beyond my pay grade so to speak... you can check out the following link and try to help me if you like:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms885792.aspx
So... any ideas my friend? It appears that some Vista 64-bit users are having success with a bluetooth synch but I have tried emailing those that claim to have been able to do this with no luck. I am not having any luck (I hope my outline above is clearer)-- and no one has seemed to had any luck recently.
I would love to make this work-- I bought this phone for this functionality.

Palm z22 and new computer using vista 64 how do you setup / hotsync

old winxp died last night.. have a new pc with vista64.. installed palm desktop software.. but keep getting device driver problems when plugging in the z22 to do the first hotsync...
any hints or clues.. using the oem disk that came with the z22
I see new software available.. but says it does not support usb hotsync with vista 64.. since the palm z22 only has the usb connection.. what's left to do?
thanks
chris
Post relates to: Palm Z22

hello soundguy and welcome to the forums....
You can only sync to Vista 64 bit with a Bluetooth wireless connection. Palm has no drivers for 64 bit version of Vista supporting the cable sync. Unfortunately, the Z22 does not have Bluetooth.
The only suggestions I can offer is to use an IRDA to USB adapter and sync that way. The challenge is to find an Infra Red adapter with 64 bit drivers.

Downloaded itunes to a new computer (W-Vista) and my itunes work except for itunes store - it just shows a download page for itunes 10

I had itunes 8, and today downloaded the new itunes 10 and now i have issues.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

Just got a new computer running windoews vista home premium.

Just got a new computer running windows vista home premium. I downloaded itunes with no problems, ran it, no problems. Then turned off my internet connection and computer. Next time I turned on my computer, I could not connect to the internet. There is no problem with the ISP or the computer (all have been checked). If I uninstall itunes, everything is back to normal, internet connection is fine. I have tried a few times to install itunes (which is easy to do), but my computer will not let me access the internet while itunes is installed on the computer. Any ideas as to why this happens and what I can do about it? Many thanks for any help anyone can give.

Look into the Security control panel for the firewall settings and the list of applications allowed to access the Internet. I think you can tap the Windows key and type "firewall" to be shown the panel immediately.
I just got a new computer with Vista Home Premium too. The first time I ran iTunes, Windows brought up a Windows Firewall warning asking me if I wanted to allow iTunes through. People tend to blow by these popups but they're very important. Often Windows will not ask again, and you have to go digging to get to the option later. Reinstalling the app won't necessarily help because Windows would think that the app you already blocked is just trying to get through again, so it blocks it again.
When I view the list of permitted apps for the Windows Firewall, I see many entries with "iTunes" in the name, each probably governing a separate network feature (sharing, purchasing, artwork, track lookup).

Lost tags, etc. when upgraded from Elements 2 to 6, and XP to Vista on new computer.

I was using Photoshop Album 2 on old XP computer. About a year ago, I got new computer with Vista and I installed Photoshop Elements 6 on it. I had copied files from old computer onto a flash drive, then from the flash drive to the new computer. The pictures came over fine, but I lost all of the tagging. Any way to get that back?

You need to find the PSA2 catalog file, and copy that as well. I believe the default name of the file is My Catalog.psa, but I don't know where it would have been stored. You could search your hard disk for *.psa (turning on the feature to search in hidden fodlers). Then, you will have to convert the catalog to PSE6 (File->Catalog->Convert).
Or, in PSA2, File->Backup Catalog and then in PSE6 File->Restore Catalog

New computer ?? on how to move library to new computer

I have done a search and followed some directions regarding this. But I'm a complete dummy when it comes to this. I'm hoping for some gently advice :-))
I have a new computer and want to move all my itunes to the new computer since it is faster. My new computer has Vista on it. I have read thru some searches regarding this, and this is what I've done so far.
I have made the new computer authorized under my account. And when I did that my music library did load on the new computer. None of my videos or movies moved to the new computer, is this supposed to be the case?? Also, when the music showed on the new computer, it did not show under the different playlist names that I have. Just the entire library. How do I get the new itunes to look like it does on the old computer (breaking down all the different playlists we have). We have 3 different ipods and different list for different family members.
I would appreciate any help..but please keep in mind. I really need an itunes
for dummy book! LOL Thanks in advance

I agree with that last statement, there does need to be an iTunes for Dummy's book. I could use it myself. Anyways...
To put your videos back in iTunes, you'll have to copy them from your old computer to the new one. Copy them onto a flash drive, and put them on the new PC. Then select: File/ Add File (Folder) to Library, and pick the File you want to add (folder of stuff you want to add).
You'll have to re-make the playlists yourself, sorry. Were they "Smart Playlists"? Because there is an option for these in the file menu. If your syncing iPods, watch out. Vista doesn't like iPods much. I've been having massive trouble putting mysic on my new Classic, and before that, updating my 30 GB Video. Good luck to you, and your family.

Ipod syncing problem new computer

first I am not very familiar with ipods and itunes, but this if for my daughter.
Old computer crashed windows xp, bought new computer windows vista, downloaded itunes to new computer, connects to ipod and authorized new computer, WILL NOT SYNC, notice old computer has different version of itunes, and when connected to new computer it says "Upgrade software to ipod", Will this correct the problem?
Please help, I have been looking in this discussion forum for about 2 hours now and can't find any solution.
Thanks

Whatever you do - DO NOT UPDATE THE IPOD FIRMWARE! Itunes has ruined my two iPods and I cannot restore them...Worked fine for two years and now nothing, all because of a simple firmware update. My best advice to you is to get rid of Windows Vista and put XP back on your system...Vista has major compatibility issues with any older hardware - I wiped it out and put XP back on, no problems with hardware, just my iPod is ruined.
