No enable palm option / no sync / no joy / no phone completion / no holiday

Hi. After reviewing all the advise found here, I repeatedly fixed permissions, updated to Palm Desktop rev D, reinstalled combined Mac OS 10.4.7, but still iSync does not see my Palm (105) anymore. There is no "enable palm" item in iSync menu and "Add Device" does not respond when I click it.
The Palm conduit is however installed in the conduits folder (and I have disabled all the wouldbe conflicting conduits). If I run hotsync, it hangs on the iSync conduit.
The motorola phone icon is not displayed in the iSync window now - just "motorola..." and it does not expand to offer any other options, though it is paired and theoretically syncing, but calender dates at least are not completed...
What else to try!?
I did previously have the phone and palm all syncing beautifully untill I erased the hard drive, reinstalled everything from scratch and thus complicated my life dramatically.
Help!

anybody??

  • Enable Palm Syncing tells me Hotsync isn't properly installed - but it is.

    I'm able to sync my Tungsten T5 with Palm Desktop, but not with iSync. When I go to DEVICES in my iSync and click ENABLE PALM SYNCING, the pop-up window tells me to open Hotsync; that it hasn't been opened before or installed. It IS installed and I am able to sync with Desktop. I've properly uninstalled and reinstalled Palm Desktop (from web download), but continue to get this message. Any thoughts?

    Here two methods you can use to correct the issue:
    Take a look at the permissions of the folders listed below. Your permissions for the folders listed below should appear as described below the pathname to that folder:
    For the Macintosh HD:Applications:Palm folder:
    Ownership & Permissions
    You can: Read & Write
    Details
    Owner: <shortusername>
    Access: Read & Write
    Group: admin
    Access: Read & Write
    Others: Read only
    For the Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm Desktop folder:
    Ownership & Permissions
    You can: Read & Write
    Details
    Owner: <shortusername>
    Access: Read & Write
    Group: admin
    Access: Read & Write
    Others: Read only
    For the [i/Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync folder:
    Ownership & Permissions
    You can: Read & Write
    Details
    Owner: <shortusername>
    Access: Read & Write
    Group: admin
    Access: Read & Write
    Others: Read only
    You can either reset those values manually, [then restart and recheck them to be sure that they are set correctly] or use the Terminal application by typing these strings listed below this example—substituting your short user name—as shown below:
    sample: "sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Applications/Palm"
    actual: "sudo chown -R michaellafferty:admin /Applications/Palm"
    …where michaellafferty is the <shortusername> in my case. Be sure to pay attention to the spaces in each string, and the direction of the / or \ [forward and back slash] characters.
    Here are the appropriate Terminal entries. Each is is shown bulleted below, but actually begins with the term sudo:
    • sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Applications/Palm
    [NOTE: at this point, you'll be asked to enter your login password]
    • sudo chmod -R 775 /Applications/Palm
    • sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ HotSync/
    • sudo chmod -R 775 /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ HotSync/
    • sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ Desktop/
    • sudo chmod -R 775 /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ Desktop/
    Again, pay particular attention to the spaces and to the \ characters, as both are critical to the syntax of these commands. Remember to place your actual shortusername in the string where the <shortusername> placeholder is shown, as in the sample above. [Do not include the < and > characters around your actual shortusername.]

  • Trouble enabling Palm OS Sync'ing in iSync 2.2

    I have a user with an iMac G5 running OS X 10.4.6, iSync 2.2, and Palm Desktop 4.2.1 rev D. (All the latest and greatest). Right now his Treo syncs through Palm Desktop fine to his Palm database, but we'd like to switch him over to sync to Address Book and iCal. In the old days of iSync 1.x I knew how to do this by installing Apple's "iSync Palm Conduit 1.2", but nowadays I understand with iSync 2.x you need to run the "Devices > Enable Palm OS Syncing..." menu command first which patches the conduits correctly.
    The problem is, when I try that I get an error saying that Palm Desktop isn't installed properly. I know that it is, and just to be sure I reinstalled it. I also opened up the permissions fully by issuing a "sudo chmod -R a=rw+X /Applications/Palm" command in Terminal.
    One thought I have is that this user is a Standard user. Do you need to run the "Enable Palm OS Syncing..." command as an administrator, since there may be application support pieces installed elsewhere? Has anyone else had issues getting this to work?
    Your help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    It is a permissions problem, but not in the location you imagine. The issue is primarily with the permissions settings here:
    Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync
    This issue occurs most commonly because a user has chosen to perform an archive and install of Mac OS X. Here are the appropriate Terminal entries to correct it:
    • sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Applications/Palm
    • sudo chmod -R 775 /Applications/Palm
    • sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ HotSync/
    • sudo chmod -R 775 /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ HotSync/
    • sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ Desktop/
    • sudo chmod -R 775 /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ Desktop/
    Running those commands should resolve the issue.

  • I cant find the enable disk option on Itunes11

    can you tell me where the enable disk option is on Itunes 11.....I cant get to the home page so have no idea where to find it

    Hi,
    When you say "What I see is only the General tab asking for sync? " Is the same General tab in the Options menu?
    The View Passwords is generally under Options > Security > Saved Passwords
    It is possible to check that the new device has the sync account attached in the Sync Tab in Options. If you already did please ignore this option.

  • Entourage 2008/Leopard/iSync/Palm Treo/Missing Sync

    I have been over all the "boards" and everyone is having the same problem syncing Entourage 2008 or even iCal with their Palms.
    I have been working at it for three days, and have come to the conclusion that I can get everything to sync to the Palm but cannot sync back. So the only work around is make all changes on the computer, and only use the Palm for the "walk around" reminder, and of course, the contact info.
    Not even close to satisfactory, but the only solution at present.
    Let me share what I did to clean up the mess.
    1. Wiped out all duplicate calendar entries in Entourage (took about five hours) and saved the database on a remote drive
    2. Wiped out anything to do with PalmOS in applications and library - do not wipe out anything in the Docs folder
    3. Unchecked the sync services in Entourage to the iStuff apps - rebooted, checked them again, and chose the overwrite from Entourage option
    4. within a few seconds, quite magically, iCal and Address Book were accurate again. Do NOT delete any of the calendars in iCal, and leave them all checked - I still don't know what they mean, or what the **** "unfiled" is, but leave it alone!
    5. Assuming you have "The Missing Sync", (this takes over entirely from PalmOS and HotSync Manager) only use the Mark/Space conduits - do NOT use any other contact, calendar, diary, date book, etc. Start off with contacts - select the "settings" - and choose Desktop overwrites handheld. It will work.
    6. then do the same for "Events" - this should work
    7. Then do the whole lot, but just the Mark/Space stuff, backup, any special software you have like AA Fligts, Zagat Guide, etc. etc.
    8. Test changing an event in iCal and see how quickly it changes in Entourage. Same with Address Book, and vice versa. But any changes on the Palm, (so far) have not appeared on Entourage - an alteration sometimes appears on iCal or Address Book, but does not get Synced to Entourage. Therefore, for safety, make all changes and additions on Entourage until a fix is produced.
    Now, there's the rub. A fix. Entourage syncs fine both ways to iCal and Address Book. I don't see why I have to use Sync Services anyway - with Entourage 04 and prior, the Entourage conduit used Palm OS and totally bypassed Sync Services (which is always running, and slows down the computer)
    Apple won't produce a fix, because they want us to buy an iPhone. Therefore, it's down to the people at Mark/Space to try and fix this issue. Don't know how they can, because it really looks like an iSync problem, - Missing Sync works back to iCal and Address, but not on to Entourage.
    Maybe we need a totally new third party fix that syncs Entourage directly to Palm.

    Entourage data has never synchronized directly with the Address Book and iCal.
    Traditionally, as with Entourage X and Entourage 2004, Palm user alone could choose to synchronize Entourage data using the Microsoft-supplied Entourage conduit to the Palm Desktop using that conduit, or by using the Missing Sync for Palm OS and that conduit.
    Later versions of Entourage 2004 provided for a means for all Entourage users to synchronize their date with the Sync Services framework, and therefore to the Address Book and iCal. Other compatible participants included the Missing Sync for Palm OS. iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit were involved only to the degree that Entourage data moved through the framework was thereupon synchronized to a Palm device using them. Users could bypass this process and continue to synchronize their Entourage data directly to a Palm handheld using the Entourage X or 2004 conduits, with this caveat: Entourage X users could not do so under Mac OS X 10.4.x from an intel processor-powered platform.
    With the release of Entourage 2008, Microsoft no longer provides an Entourage conduit for Palm users. This is no fault of Apple, Mark/Space or Palm: it is a decision solely on the part of Microsoft.
    The synchronization of Palm data for Mac OS 10.5 and later users is differentiated from this issue. A primary issue involved is an apparent incompatibility with iSync 3, another is a set of issues involving the synchronization engine in iCal, which was completely rewritten for iCal 3. Neither of these issues prevent a Palm user synchronizing with Entourage through the Sync Services framework using the Missing Sync for Palm OS. Those who would prefer to use a conduit to synchronize with Entourage 2008 are out of luck, as Microsoft no longer supplies a compatible one.
    The executive summary is this:
    • your specific issue has nothing at all to do with Apple
    • your option to synchronize a Palm device to Entourage using a conduit was eliminated by Microsoft, so…
    1. take your complaint to them (and, good luck with that…)
    2. contact Mark/Space to determine if they are willing to independently build an Entourage 2008 Palm conduit
    I would be the first to say that Microsoft's implementation of synchronization through the framework was, and remains, rather clumsy. Again, this is an issue for Microsoft, not Apple, Mark/Space or Palm.
    The Unfiled calendar in iCal is the single calendar to which, by default, all events created on a Palm device are synchronized. If you are using iSync, you can either use that calendar, or create another and delete the Unfiled calendar. I chose to name mine Palm events when I used iSync. Users of 'advanced' Palm devices with Palm OS 5.4 or later who choose to synchronize using the Missing Sync for Palm OS have their categorized events read from and written to the specific calendar for each category, and can delete the Unfiled calendar from iCal. Those users with an earlier release of the Palm OS—for example, OS 5.2 on a Treo 600—must continue to use the single Unfiled calendar or a substitute calendar into which all Palm device-created events are written. This requirement is the result of an issue with the Palm OS, and does not involve either Apple, Mark/Space or Microsoft.
    Synchronization works bidirectionally IF you have properly configured your environment. Any and all additions, changes or deletions of data store components associated with any application, device or server in your pool, will reflect the same information—to the extent that such information is universally supported—after one or more synchronization events.

  • How to restore the option to sync recent photos from iPhoto to iPad?

    How to restore the option to sync recent photos from iPhoto to iPad?
    I have Yosemite 10.10.2 running on a 2008 iMac
    I have an iPad MD513B/A running version 8.1.2
    On the iMac iPhoto is version 9.5.1,  and iTunes is 12.0.1.26
    I used to be able to sync photos from iPhoto (last 3 Events) through iTunes to iPad. 
    Where has that option gone?  iTunes now only allows me to do now is to get pictures from the cloud to the iPad and I haven't prepared for that.  So I don't have any pictures on my iPad to show my folks. 
    I can sync from iPhoto to my Classic iPod but that option has been removed from iTunes for the iPad by the look of it.  I want it back so I can manage what I download to my iPAD.
    Please can someone advise me how to restore the option to sync my recent photos from iPhoto to iPad. 

    Where has that option gone?  iTunes now only allows me to do now is to get pictures from the cloud to the iPad and I haven't prepared for that.  So I don't have any pictures on my iPad to show my folks.
    Have you enabled iCloud Photo Library (Beta) on your iPad? Switching on the iCloud Photo Library (Beta) disables the syncing of Photos with iTunes.
    On your iPad check the Settings > Photos&Camera.  Disable "iCloud Photo Library (Beta)", if you want to sync your photos with iTunes or upload your photos using "My Photo Stream".
    On the iMac iPhoto is version 9.5.1,
    Is there a reason why you did not update to iPhoto 9.6? That is the version, that includes the compatibility updates for Yosemite.

    Do you have windows mobile device center installed(WMDC)? If not download it from here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
    Be sure you download the correct version for your PC. If you have 32bit OS or 64bit OS. To find this out, right click on Computer under start and select properties. Near the middle it should say 32bit or 64bit. If you know you have the correct software. Open up the control panel and go to sync settings. Right click on the partnership you have setup and select delete. On your device go to Start-->Programs-->Activesync-->Menu-->Options tap on Windows PC and select Delete. Then once both are done resetup your partnership. But this time uncheck everything. Then once it is done syncing. Go to Mobile device settings and change content sync settings and select Contact. Click save and let it sync. Do the same for calendar, tasks, and notes but leave the last item checked. So when Contacts are done syncing you go and check Calendar and leave Contacts

  • I have the original ipad. I can't delete my photos from the ipad, and the new itunes update does not give me the option to sync photos. What do I do?

    I have the orignal ipad. I synced all my photos from my computer onto. Now I don't have enough storage on my ipad so I want to delete these photos. When I try from my ipad it only gives me the option to share or copy, NOT DELETE. I went to resync my ipad to itunes, after I downloaded the new version and now it doesn't give me an option to sync photos. How do I get rid of them?

    Wow.  That's weird.
    Is your iPad jailbroke?  If it is, all bets are off.  If it is not jailbroke, keep reading.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    Hi
    Check if you have Authorization to Replicate/Change / Active for the DS, BASIS Team can help you with this.
    R/3 side
    Recheck for your enhanced / Appended fields at R/3 Side .
    Make sure that you have saved/Activated the Code/DS/Structure.
    RSA6 -- Check your DS for the enhanced Fields again / Transport the Same again.
    BI Side
    RSA13--Source System --Say Replicate DS -- Now see if you can access the enhanced fields here.
    As you said you are using emulated DS -- Check if your Transfer/Update Rules are Active for the DS.. Try to activate the same with RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL / RSDS_DATASOURCE_ACTIVATE_ALL/ RSDS_UPDR_REACTIVATE_ALL...
    Hope it helps and clear

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • Please help, itunes wont give me option to sync from my iphone

    I have an iphone 4s and I just downloaded itunes on my hp with windows and the new itunes doesnt give me an option to sync my mnusic library onto my computer from my iphone. ive tried restarting it and unplugging it and they dont give me any options!

    iTunes will only transfer music purchased from the iTunes store from your phone to your iTunes library.  To do that, authorize your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music in Store>Authorize This Computer, then connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    Music from other sources on your phone (such as from ripped CDs) must be extracted from your phone using 3rd party software such as Touch Copy (PC or Mac) or PhoneView (Mac only).
    If your iTunes library is still on your old computer, the best solution is to copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the music folder) from your old computer to your new one, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.
