New Palm TX???

I am seeing the announcement for the Palm Pre. I want an ITouch, not an IPhone. Any rumors in the mill for an updated Palm TX?
Post relates to: Tungsten E

Hello anjuli99 and welcome to the Palm forums.
No, Palm has discontinued their non-smartphone Palm OS handheld PDA devices. Their business is now clearly focused on smartphones. I am unaware of any rumors that point to an updated Palm TX PDA or other non-smartphone device.

Just bought new Palm and not sure how to set it up best to sync

I just bought a new Palm TX. The manual says to connect the sync cable to palm and to computer usb port and connect a/c adapter to palm and an outlet and charge for 3 hrs which I'm getting ready to do. Before I start setting up my whole system I to am trying to determine a couple of things first.
Based on all forums I've read today, I want to use the missing sync with ical and address book rather than palm desktop. I also plan to sync using bluetooth rather than usb. (My goal plan is to use this set up to digitally implement kgtd - so the categories issue is key for me).
Thus I wonder, is there any reason to insert the palm desktop software cd and/or install isync palm conduit. It seems missing sync 5.x replaces isync palm conduit and installation of the missing sync will remove the isync palm conduit anyway.
Is there anything I will possibly miss with palm functionalities if I don't use that CD first and then switch to missing sync? Are there any pros or cons to loading isync palm conduit and Palm hotsync software and then switching almost immediately to missing synch with ical and address book. I guess what I'm wondering is, are there anything from the CD that I need or downloads or updates that I initially need to get that I can't get without new palm software installed initially rather than only having the missing sync installed.
On the other hand, are there benefits in immediately installing missing sync and not bothering with mucking things up with the new isync palm conduit and palm hotsync being on my system.
I seem to have isync 2.3 automatically from 10.4.8. I am afraid to, at least initially, upgrade to 10.4.9 given the many problems that seem to be reported from the upgrade regarding syncing and I have very little in ical or address book as of yet and an old palm desktop 4.2.1 that I haaven't used in over a year. I am not interested at this point in transfering anything from the old palm desktop (not so much there either and none of it current) although would be interested in (unless told it could cause other problems for me or be in any way suboptimal) keeping it as a sort of archive.
Also, why do I need to connect the USB port while doing the initial charge if the plan is to use bluetooth? Any pros or cons in doing/ not doing this - both using bluetooth and connecting the USB cable during the initial charge?
Any guidance on some or all of these things would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Great questions, and we'll attack them one at a time.
Q: '…is there any reason to insert the Palm Desktop software CD and install the iSync Palm Conduit?'
A: Actually, yes - there is. Mark/Space very strongly recommends that you perform one last synchronization event with the Address Book and iCal using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit prior to installing and configuring the Missing Sync. It is therefore necessary that you synchronize using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit at least once prior to your initial use of the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit require that the HotSync Manager and Transport Monitor—components of the Palm Desktop—be installed in order for iSync to launch, supervise and terminate a synchronization session with a Palm device.
Q: '… are there benefits in immediately installing the Missing Sync and not bothering with… …the new iSync Palm Conduit and Palm HotSync…'
A: No. It is critical that you overwrite the contents of your Palm device with data from the Address Book and iCal during the first synchronization event with the Missing Sync for Palm OS. Absolutely critical. Users who skip this required step always end up with synchronization problems later. In order to do that, you have to have first equalized the contents of the Address Book and iCal with the contents of your Palm device. Otherwise, you'll be overwriting the device with empty record sets. The easiest way to equalize them is to synchronize at least once using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit. Because the iSync Palm Conduit does not support categories, all field labels and extended attributes supported by both the Missing Sync for Palm OS and your device, you'll have some record cleanup tasks to perform as a result. But, don't skip that initial device overwrite requirement, or you'll put your data at serious risk and only spend much more time later on cleaning up the resulting mess.
Q: 'I am afraid to, at least initially, upgrade to 10.4.9…'
A: Don't be, though it makes little difference if you apply update before initiating the iSync synchronization, or afterward. You indicated that you have an old copy of Palm Desktop installed which you haven't used for more than a year. If that copy is not as recent as the once bundled on your CD-ROM, then install the CD-ROM copy. If they are the same version, or are different versions but neither are Palm Desktop 4.2.1 revision D, then download and install that package before configuring and using iSync. The package is available here:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421revd.html
If you aren't sure, then install this downloadable package, as it can only improve and not damage your currently installed Palm Desktop configuration.
Q: '…why do I need to connect the USB port while doing the initial charge if the plan is to use Bluetooth?'
You don't, although your device can obviously only charge with a USB-powered cable or cradle, or an AC adapter-powered cradle. I recommend that you initially configure it to synchronize via USB with both iSync and then with the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and then pair it using Bluetooth and synchronize using that pathway if you wish. Remember two things: while Bluetooth may be more convenient, USB moves substantially greater data in a shorter period of time—important during slow, initial synchronization events—and, the Missing Sync for Palm OS also supports network synchronization with your T|X, using it's WiFi capability. Initially using USB, later reconfiguring for Bluetooth and then for WiFi gives you literally one-button choices when using the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
In summary, you ought to…
• update the Palm Desktop suite to 4.2.1 revision D using the downloadable package
• add your device to iSync via USB using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option under the iSync Devices menu
• be sure to change the label of any contact address you want synchronized to <home>, as iSync ignores addresses not labeled that way
• merge the data in the Address Book and iCal with your Palm Device
• back up the Address Book data using the Back up Address Book… option in that application
• back up your iCal data using the Back up Database… option in that application
• install and configure the Missing Sync for Palm OS
• set your three Mark/Space conduits initially to overwrite your handheld with data from your computer
• synchronize initially via USB and include the TimeCopy conduit in this effort
• follow the Bluetooth wizard instructions in the Missing Sync to pair your device and add the Bluetooth option
• follow the network wizard instructions enable WiFi synchronization
• create sets of conduits appropriate for your workflow, and associate them with an interface: USB, Bluetooth or network
• correct your handheld data to reflect address data field label changes, calendar and contact categories, and so on
• synchronize again via any chose interface to propagate the corrected data

Transfer Data from PalmOne Zire31 to the new Palm Pre?

Hi all, I've done some research to see how I can transfer the calendar and the contacts on my PalmOne Zire31 to my new Palm Pre and find PocketCopy from Chapuro to help do that without loosing the info on the PalmZire 31. I was wondering if anybody knows how to do that without paying 24$ for the Chapuro software?
Please help me!!!
Thanks

You will need to sync your handheld to Palm desktop to make sure the data in Palm desktop is current. Download and install Palm desktop 6.2, you need this version for the Palm Data Transfer Assistant tool. Here is the link; http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/32859_en.html
Setup a gmail account for your data. You have 3 options for your data transfer, transfer to the palm profile, exchange server account or Gmail. The palm profile has experienced some data loss issues at this point so I would highly recommend using gmail.
Go to this link and download the Data Transfer Assistant; http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/pre/migration/moveontophone.html
Select to sync with your gmail account.

New palm and getting the info from my old palm on the new one.

Hi there. I had to have a new centro ordered because my first cento's keys stopped working. The sprint store recommended me coming home and backing up all my data on my first centro while I was waiting for the new centro to arrive. All of my data from my first phone is backed up on my computer but I do not know how to get all of my calendar events and what not onto the new centro. As soon as I hook up my new centro with the hotsync cable it wants to create a new user on my computer. I"m not sure if that's what I need to do in order to get my old data on my new centro. The sprint store was able to get all of my contacts on my new phone, I'm mainly wanting all of my calendar (which has important dates and things going on) and my downloaded ringtones. If anyone can please help me figure out how to get all the old stuff on my new palm that would be great! Thank you!
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

When you connect the Centro to the PC does it only ask to create a new username or do you get the option to use an existing username? You should have this option. If you don't, make sure the Centro is not connected to the PC. On the Centro, go to hotsync, look in the upper right corner of the screen, is there a username listed? Is it the same name that is in Palm desktop that has your data?
If the name on the Centro is different than the one in Palm desktop, you will need to erase the username on the Centro and then you should get the prompt to use an existing username in Palm desktop.
Here is a link to the Palm article regarding erasing the username on your device. Use the Option 2 in the article to erase the username on the device using the shortcut character.

New palm TX won't respond

my new palm tx stays on and shows me the palm powered window over and over; it does not turn off with power button, won't go to home when home button pushed; please help; i have done soft reset and warm reset over and over
Post relates to: Palm TX

You need to try a Hard Reset.
To perform a Hard Reset: (Palm Knowledgebase article #887)
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.
Have you installed any third-party software on the device? Did you send old data from a previous Palm device to it?

Palm TX conversion to the new Palm Prer Plus

I am anticipating the purchase of the new Palm Pre Plus phone from Verizon. Does anyone know if I can transfer my Palm TX data to the Phone? Also, Is the phone Bluetooth compatible to synch to my internal car phone system?
Post relates to: Palm TX

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
Your question regarding migration of data from your TX to the Pre Plus is answered in several threads in the Synergy board. Check the two top "stickied" threads about moving your data, and desktop synchronization with either Palm Desktop or M$ Outlook.
Also, since that issue is the main Subject of your post, I will move this thread into that Synergy board.

I need help choosing a new Palm phone.

No device
I'm trying to get a new Palm phone but the HP website has no useful information. I would appreciate anyone's help with choosing a new phone to replace my Palm Centro. I want to continue using the Palm because it sounds like iphones and other smart phones don't have a way to back up their contents and they all require internet.
Here are some of the qualities I'd like to have:
1. No internet requirement but able to use wifi.
2. ptunes or similar mp3 app that syncs with Rhapsody.
Thanks,
Mario

Hello mars_d11, I regret to inform you Palm Inc. ceased to exist years ago.
There are no more PalmOS phones in existence. You do have the option of searching for another Centro on the internet...p

Migrating from a Plam T E2 to a 'New' Palm T E2 ?

Ok - working on another plan . . . I have several reconditioned Palm Tungston E2's that I bought off Amazon . . . and am having trouble syncing to the 'new' Palm. The Palms are the exact same hardware - all Tungston E2's.
The instructions on the HP/Palm web site say to install the software that came with the handheld 'because the E2 has code that the handheld needs' or something to that effect. I don't know if that's the 'specific hand held' or the T E2 series. I did it with one unit several months ago and it worked but was a lot of gymnastics.
I tried it again, to migrate to yet a 'newer' handheld and could not get it to work - and nor would my 'current' one sync anymore either - on a Vista PC. However, I hooked the 'current one up via USB to my old XP PC which had at least year-old data left on it and it sync'd beautifully!
Can anyone tell me if I have to re-install the software from the disk - really? OR could I just do a 'Desktop Overwrites Handheld" to the newer handheld? One thing . . . maybe I have to run the disk in order to put the user name on the new hand held. I tried that (on he Vista) & after a couple of times not working the software would not even let me access the 'hardware set up' section to name the new hand held. And the new handheld did not get the user name added to it and it would no longer even connect with the Vista.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I would love to just uninstall everything on the desktop & reinstall Palm Desktop 6.22 from the HP web site & start over . . . & do a hand held overwrites desktop . . but I'm not sure if this will work either.
I guess my real preference at this point would be to run the old Windows XP machine I have so I can use Documents To Go Version 8 (which works with the T E2) and with the Palm Desktop (and of course Pimlical's DateBook 6). But I need to get my user name & data onto the 'new' E2. I have the mose current Palm Desktop aready on this XP machine. Again, I have followed instructions from the HP website to do just this on the Vista . . . but there is something (that I am) missing!
Thanks in advance for help!! Deb

How Do I Turn On My New Palm TX?

I received my new Palm TX today and went to set it up. As instructed, I connected the handheld device to the computer and hooked it up to power. I then charged it for over 4 hours. However, I can't get any further. When I press the power button I get a screen with the red target and the instruction "tap the center of the target." When I do that repeatedly the target moves to the center of the screen, then to the lower right and then back to upper left. I am in an endless loop and can't get out of it.
The instructions say press the reset button and then recharge for another three hours. I have done that a couple of times, but with no success.
Do I have a defective unit, or am I missing something simple? If nothing else, can someone tell me how to get in touch with Palm customer service?
Thank you.

New Palm TX power problem

My school has 4 new Palm TXs. 3 of them will not function when unplugged from AC adapter. They have been in storage for about a year but it seems like the batteries should still work after charging for 3 hours. Is there a setting or a trick I have missed? We have 50 (various models) older palms in service that haven't had this problem.

I've moved your post from the webOS board to here, since the TX runs PalmOS.
The old battery recalibration trick was to plug in the charger, then do a Soft Reset (press the Reset button in the back).
Let it charge again for a few hours and see if it maintains the charge.

Post relates to: Tungsten T2

When you say it will not transfer all your info, does any data sync to the handheld?
If all your data is on Palm desktop, set the hotsync conduits to desktop overwrites handheld. Hard reset the T2. Connect the T2 to the PC and start the sync.

Ok, one more time...
We are not priviledged to ANY other knowledge of the Pre! We can't tell you what we don't know. The Palm CSR's here are not privvy either, and many times legally cannot divulge future plans of Palm Inc., nor have they gotten "hands-on" time with the Pre yet.
I am a longtime user of Palm products myself, not an employee of Palm, and enjoy trying to help others with their Palm-related problems. I'm betting apps will be written to transfer years of Palm data to the new device.
"We don't know" does not mean "NO it will never work". It just means all the details are not out yet, and software authors may be writing apps as we type that will do what you wish.
Palm is very tight-lipped with their new products. I'm sure more details will emerge as the arrival date gets closer, and software authors complete their projects.

When I insert the software disc for my new Palm, nothing pops up!

The CD icon doesn't show on the desktop and it doesn't show in the finder when I do 'apple' N. I've tried using the slot loading CD drive and the external CD drive I have. Nothing works. How can I get the computer to recognize the CD so I can use my new Palm software?? Please help!! Thanks!

I already tried going to palm.com and dowloading the software. The software I need isn't available for download. All other CDs I've used have worked fine for me. In January I completed wiped the hard drive and re-installed my OS. That worked just fine. Last month I installed some software for my digital camera and that worked fine. It is plausible that the CD is just bad. But that just doesn't get me any where. So frustrating! Thanks for your input, though.

New Palm TX freezes completely after turning on Wi-Fi

Hello,
I live in Europe and recently bought a new Palm TX over ebay. Everything runs fine, but when I turned on Wi-Fi (right out of the box, nothing installed), the screen becomes white, backlight is on, and it freezes. A soft-reset awakes the device. I already tried a hard-reset. Nothing helps. Sending it back to the dealer and re-sending it to me would cost a lot aof time and money, so I decided to change the mainboard by myself (I'm a computer technician, so that's no problem for me).
BUT: Where from can I quickly get a new motherboard? Are there any available at Palm.com?
Thanks
Roman

Thank you, rk87! I was unaware that I would qualify for AppleCare. Btw, the # is: 1-800-275-2273
The AppleCare tech who called me set about recreating the problem I was having. On his first try, his Maps app incorrectly identified the apartment bldg across the street from him as his Current Location: the exact situation I found myself in. However, he could not provide an explanation, nor a solution to correct the issue. This was after he sought advice from every person with whom he had access.
Apparently, my problem w/inaccurate locations has happened to many other Maps/Wi-Fi users. The problem, he explained, is that no one up the chain of engineers is truly aware that this condition exists. So, he asked me to present the issue - and its lack of a solution - again in a Feedback forum. Naturally, I don't have a clue as to how that's done effectively ...
So - once again - can you put me on the trail of someone who CAN assist?
Thanks,

Problem setting up MobileMe on a new Palm Treo Pro

I have a new Palm Treo Pro, but the performance of my .me account has been quirky at best.
When I set up my .me account on my Palm, all of the mail floods in and populates my mail folders. After that, however, I can't receive any mail. Moreover, I'm not sure if my mail is making it out.
Has anyone had this problem? I would really like to know how to set up my Outlook account on my Treo Pro so this works properly.
Thanks.

Problem solved. The ipad default is set to IMAP. When I changed it to a POP server, problem solved.

Another 'old keyboard with new Palm' question

I have seen the posts about non-compatibility between older keyboards and newer Palms - mine is a slightly different question.
I have a Palm keyboard P10713U, which was designed to connect to the M100 etc. series of PDAs. I'm thinking of trading up to a Z22, and I was wondering whether anyone had sucessfully modified this keyboard to work with a mini-USB plug, and whether a keybaord plugged into the USB port would actually be recognised by a Z22.
This keyboard is well outside it's warranty, so I'd be happy to take a chance with it.
Any DIYers out there care to comment?
Post relates to: Palm m100

as far as i know, nobody every attempted to modify the connectors of any palm branded keyboard as they are just having simple connectors like bluetooth, IR or docking style keyboard. since z22 is using a mini USB connector and doesn't have bluetooth capability, the only way it can connect to a keyboard is via IR. if there is a keyboard that uses a mini USB connector, it can possibly run in z22 provided it has the necessary drivers that can run on palm OS.
