No Task/Memo Application

I have read all discussions regarding no task application and have tried all that was suggested. I have 8100 version 4.5. There's no task app in the app list on the phone. I checked the desktop manager and updated to 4.5. I can not get the task application. I uninstalled it and re-installed and there's no Task app. When I update the desktop manager it says there are no updates. What am I doing wrong. This is my first BB and my experience with the so called basics have not been good. Could someone please tell how to simply download a Task/Memo application.

Hi - I had same issue. It seems updating to 4.5 using the default installation loses the Task application (it also loses Maps and Brickbreaker). However, you can reinstall it (them) using Application loader. I still couldn't find it so I tried setting Calendar Display Tasks to No and Tasks then appeared in the Application menu, I then reset Calendar Display Tasks back to yes and everything seems OK. I've only had BB five days and still finding my way around, takes some getting used to after Windows Mobile !!!!.
Hope this is helpful

Missing tasks, memo pad & documents to gp

I have an unlocked Bold.
Since receiving, I have not seen a tasks, memo pad OR Documents to go icon.
I have checked the applications listing and checked for hidden folders, all to NO AVAIL.
HELP!

You need to download the software for the device according to the carrier vendor ID on the phone.
Once you have that on ur pc, you need to install it to ur device. during this procedure, u will get an application selection in which you will tick tasks, memo etc and it will be installed onto the device.
What is your vendor id first and most importantly of all.
Hold down the alt key and type the letters R A C E, then let go of the alt key. This will bring up the Help Me! screen which lists the Vendor ID, Platform, Application
Version, PIN, IMEI, and other info about the device.
If your issue is resolved, put a checkmark in the green box that contains the resolution.

Syncing some items (Contacts, Calendar) on Outlook and others (Tasks, Memos) on Palm Desktop

On my old Palm phone, I was able to sync my Calendar and Contacts with Outlook and my Memos and Tasks with the Palm Desktop. I just got a new Palm Treo 755p, and I would like to do the same thing. I don't want my Outlook Tasks and Memos/Notes to be syncronized, only my Calendar and Contacts. I want my device Tasks and Memos to go to the Palm desktop. Is this possible?
During the Installation, it only asks for overall sync options - it does not break out each item (Contacts, Tasks, etc.) like it did for my old Palm.
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
It should ask you somewhere through the installation what would you like to sync and give you the checklist of conduits. If it's not doing that on your installation disk, try downloading and installing the Palm Desktop Software from Palm's website, http://www.palm.com/us/support/palmdesktop.html
Hope this helps!

Is There Any Way To Backup Tasks & Memos?

I have had some issues with Google calendar and have wiped my Pre and started over a couple of times. Once I get things working OK I want to make sure I can do a restore and get EVERYTHING back. I don't care if it is a several step process but it has to work. I thought I might be able to copy some files to my laptop while the Pre is in USB mode but I am not seeing any PIM files available.
Seriously, if there is no way at all to back up tasks and memos, then those apps on the Pre are useless.

Hello!
These 2 field are backed up via the backup process to your Palm Profile. Their not viewible from the servers but they are backed up. Just back sure that the Backup app is On to make benefit of this.

After Importing Tasks and Memos | Let's Move them from Remember to Calendar? More Extra Steps

After grabbing all your Tasks and Memos from BB OS 7.1, all the entries go unfiled into the Remember App. This is nice, but not nice. Anyone writing code to export these to the Calendar App or within Remember to 'move' them to the Calendar App? Does this make any sense to be left to redo these tasks and memos that invariably and potentially become Calendar worthy in terms of absolute reminders in advance of the due date?
It would seem logical, that say, for example, that if your old memos become potential Tasks, both the tasks and memos in Remember are somewhat treated the same. So now to export them possibly into the Calendar app? What am I missing here?
What would be the work around here temporarily until code is written to take all of your imported tasks and memos from, say, OS 7.1, now inside the Remember App, and send them OPTIONALLY to the Calendar? Nothing I can see at the moment...
Sometimes Memos turn into Tasks, which then could lead to Due Dates/Appointments/Do-To's in the Calendar App IF so chosen. But there isn't a strong blood relationship between Remember and Calendar. If there is, someone advise.
Relationship: Remember<>Calendar (In other words, strengthening the gap between Remember and Calendar.
When you've a SLEW of old Tasks and Memos coming from the previous OS's...wow...
In my Old Bold 9930 I had over a thousand valid memos, and over 2,300 regular tasks, segmented. Now joyously and unfortunately in the Remember App, WHAT A "TASK" TO FILE THEM WITHOUT ANY EXPORT to the Calendar or for the new Calendar to receive them with open arms and bifurcate them accordingly. (Splitting the main into two parts yet having the bond between the apps as close as possible)...
Sad that the old Tasks in BB OS 7.1 now imported into the Remember App has to be copied and pasted into the Calendar App for the Reminder and Re-occurrences, etc. Am I missing something? What a daunting task for power copy/paste people on a full qwerty to a touch keyboard.
Fervently experimenting with QNX Developers on this one. Need a cognitive, logical thought structure here to make this alleged "smooth" transition from one baton to the next baton (OS 7.1 to BB 10 in this area). Dropping the baton won't win the race against the competition here...

Well, what I've done is just the opposite as far as Calendar to Remember as the Calendar has the "Share" function base. With an extra step or two and of a 'cleaning house' from the import from the old OS7.1, I've brought all my tasks and memos into the calendar and brought them back into their respective folder(s) inside of Remember.
You see, because the Remember app is so vast or initially treated as vast, if one is fast enought to power copy/paste while cleaning house, take all your memos, tasks, etc into the Calendar and sync Remember with the Calendar manually via the due date/time function in Calendar, then you've a precusor reminder due date in Remember, which then leads to your day's events in Calendar.
For me I've not doubled up on the amount of tasks and memos, but provided myself as a power BB user the ability to work around and strengthen the relationship between the two apps. If the due date is accurate on the Remember app (if chosen), you do get reminded that particular day, and on that particular day you can then revew the day's notes/memos from within the Calendar app, clean the task/memo house as you move along, and sit back until the code is written just for the reversal of what protocol I've taken here. Either way, you avoid third party apps, your passion for BlackBerry remains, and your productivity is elevated with BlackBerry 10.
A lot of people don't realize how powerful QNX is as I am working with QNX developers now with feedback within the ebb & flow of the code. Give less than three years through BlackBerry Evangelism, Philanthropic aspirations and more, and BlackBerry will take back a strong segmented market space and enhance the quality of lives for those who are loyal and believe in BlackBerry as a lifestyle. All BlackBerry, all of the time.

Syncing Memos with Desktop

I have an error message "The organizer applications on your computer aren't supported" when I try to sync my memos on Blackberry desktop. The messages says to check release notes however I cannot find anything about this topic in the release notes.
I have a blackberry 8310 and I wish to create files to transfer my contacts and memos onto my PC to be able to move them onto a new blackberry (I'll be handing back my 8310 with a gap of a few days before I have the new one.)

I get the same message for contacts, tasks, memos and calendar. Have you had any success finding a solution?

Removing past calender/task items

I have had a BB 8700 for the past 2 years or so. When I sync up to it, it checks all 2500 past calender entries and old tasks etc. This now takes 10 - 15 minutes to sync. Is there a way to stop it from syncing past items and just sync future ones? I want to keep the old ones in my Outlook in case I need to refer back to them, but I dont need them on my BB. These items take up memory and cause a slow sync time.

Yes, that thought has occurred to me. Which I probably should do, at least for 2007 =) I use Outlook for my business, so it's nice to have appointments available to see what I did, but when the backup file gets to be 1gb, it probably means I should archive at least some of them.
I cleared off the BB calendar and synced from outlook to the device. It only put the appointments I wanted (past 120 days through the future) onto the device, except that it went through and "read and processed" all 2389 Outlook Calendar records (and it also put deleted recurring appointments in the past - those that had started last year of which I had deleted those specific occurrences but the recurring appointment is still in my calendar for the future)Interestingly, those did not end up in the past on my Outlook calendar
I just went through and deleted all recurring appointments and reentered them starting this week with a specific end date (I did not have end dates before), so I'm hoping I won't have stuff in the far-past on the BB. I re-cleared the BB calendar and I'm syncing Outlook to device only as we type. It now says "processing device calendar, *** of 2404 records", even though I only have it going back 3 months. I just looked at the BB calendar and it only has stuff starting today. And yes, the settings on the sync on DM are for 120 before today. And, it only transferred recurring appointments, none of the appointments I put in as one time.
I thought it was getting better, and now it's getting worse!!!!!
Am I clearing the BB calendar the correct way? I'm doing it through DM > Backup and Restore > Advanced> clearing Calendar and Calendar-All
At least Tasks, Memos and Address book are syncing!

Entries made in Sprint BB 8330 will not sync to Outlook Calendar

I just got a Sprint BB 8330 and have set up 2-way sync for Outlook Calendar, Tasks, Memos & Address Book. The 2-way sync works for Tasks, Memos and Address Book except the Outlook Calendar. The Outlook Calendar syncs to the BB but entries made on the BB do not sync back onto the Outlook Calendar. I traded my Sprint Treo which worked perfectly with 2-way syncs on my Dell laptop using XP for this SmartPhone which isn't doing what it is said to do. I have done quit a bit of research on this and found that this problem is happening to a lot of other users. We should file a class action suit against Blackberry since it is a common problem and they seem to being nothing to fix it that I have found but they keep on selling them. Thanks for your help.

Open up your Desktop Manager, then go to Synchronize/Configuration/Configure Sync. In there, you will find that you are only allowing synchronization one way...from your desktop to your BB. You can configure your synchronization from that screen so that it is bi-directional.

Problems to Download Dreamweaver CS4 with Akamai Download Manager!

I want to download Dreamweaver CS4 Italian Windows Trial version.
I have Internet Explorer 7, PC with OS Windows XP x64bit Corporate, Core2Quad Q9650, Motherboard MSI P45Platinum with Ethernet 10/100/1000,
4GBRAM,3 HDD 500GB WesternDigital,Nvidia GeForce 9400GT.
I have installed "Akamai Download Manager ActiveX" control asked on the top of window popup.
Clicked Yes:Installation confirmation.
But I have tried to click the button "Download" and just one window with this message appears and disappears immediately:

Problemi di download?
Assistenza per il download...
Il sistema non dispone dei requisiti minimi per eseguire Akamai Download Manager.
(The system doesn't meets the minimum system requirements to run Akamai Download Manager.)
I can't download anything. Why?
I have disable Pop-ups Blocker, and disabled also Anti-Phishing Filter.
Disabled also Antivirus and the Firewall.
Set and lowered Security Protection from Tools>Internet Options: to "Medium"; and also, another time, set to "Personalized" with all the controls
switched to "Active".
Set Privacy>Settings>"Accetta tutti i cookie"(lowered to full bottom).
I have read this Akamai Download Manager FAQ:
-"Nothing happens when I click the download link"
If nothing happened after you clicked the download link, either your pop-up blocker or a high security setting on your web browser may have stopped
the Akamai DLM window from opening.
If you have a pop-up blocker enabled in your web browser or in your Internet toolbar (such as the Yahoo! toolbar or the Google toolbar), you will
need to disable your pop-up blocker to start your download. For additional information, and for instructions on changing your security setting, see
the "Akamai Download Manager system requirements" (ServiceNote kb400530).
Note: The download manager can sometimes take up to a minute to load. Please allow time for the initial loading before assuming there is a problem

6) Click OK again
But nothing changes.
On my PC I have also this installation: "J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5" and "Java(TM)6 Update 15".
But the download doesn't start at all.
1) How can I do to download Dreamweaver CS4-Windows-ITALIAN language?
2) Is it possible to download 364.8 MegaBytes without Akamai Download Manager?
Please Hurry!

find your backup, it will load on the left side
you current working BB will be on the right side
transfer ONLY the absolute important databases from the left to the right(address, cal, phone logs, messages, sms, tasks, memo)... dont do any that you dont know and dont do any OPTIONS ones

Dear Palm: What I'd like in the next update

We know that webOS and the Palm Pre are 1.0 1.1 products, so we’re going to cut you some slack for now. But that slack is starting to run out, and looking at the competition there are some areas where I think you could improve the Pre to both catch up to and leap frog over iPhone and BlackBerry and Android. So here’s what I'd like to see in the way of software updates before that slack runs out and the real complaining starts.
My list is after the break, and it’s by no means comprehensive. Feel free to sound off in the comments if there’s something you think should be added in!
Oh, and Palm, this isn't an ultimatum or anything. It's a wishlist. Of stuff I want. So consider it a shopping list, and you're the grocery store. Some things we can do without, but others are staple items that we need to get through the week, and if you don't have it, we might have to go across town to the other grocery to get it. After a while, that can get kind of old and we might consider just going to the other store. We don't want to, as it's simply not as nice, but they have a lot of what we need.
Alert Tones. I can only take so much of “da-ding” before I lose my mind wondering if it’s an email or a text message or a low battery alert or... we need the option to change these tones. And not just “pick a new alert tone,” no, the ability to pick different tones for different alerts. And like we can assign specific ringtones to individual callers, the option to assign a tone to an email account (X for Gmail, Y for Exchange, etc) would be great. To a specific contact, even better.
App Catalog. As your posting of the Mojo SDK and anticipated expansion of the App Catalog would seem to indicate, you’re on your way to getting a full-on developer community going. That’s all well and good, but your application store needs some serious work. First off is speed: while once up it works just fine, the load time is interminably long for something that is more or less just a specialized web browser. Second is content: we seriously need more applications. Yes there's side-loading homebrew fun, but for 90% of your users the App Catalog is going to be their primary source of apps.
Autocorrection Software. While I do really like having a physical keypad, there’s something to be said for a robust autocorrection database. And that something to be said is, "Hey, that's kind of cool."
Cut, Copy, and Paste. It took Apple a while to get it working, but I’ve got to admit, they got it right. We need the ability to copy uneditable text, i.e. a website. Or a received text message. Simply put, this half-measure implementation of cut, copy, and paste in webOS isn’t going to cut it for long (pun only partly intended).
Backup. Either I need an option to back up my applications and data on my computer, or Palm Backup needs to be updated such that when I have to reset/replace my phone I don’t have to spend half an hour reconfiguring all the settings that were lost. That means contact link associations, calendar colors, and third-party application settings. You don’t need to back up everything (like photos and music), but it won’t take a huge server investment on your part to build a more robust back-up solution.
Battery Life. Simply put, it’s not good enough. My Pre - with a Seidio extended battery – still barely makes it through a long day on the road. There are only so many things I can turn off before it stops being useful.
Bluetooth. OBEX. Now. Don’t be all authoritarian on us and not let us send our contact information or files over Bluetooth. This is a smartphone that you want people to use for business things. Like actually exchanging contact information over something other than Facebook. Beside that, OBEX support would let me easily transfer files and the like without hassling with trying to connect to a computer with WiFi.
Calendar Attendees. Roger McNamee said our Pre would be able to track our location and alert meeting attendees that we were running late. While that would be fantastic, we aren’t expecting that option to appear any time soon, perhaps we can start down that path by giving us the option to add calendar appointment attendees.
Camera Options. If my Treo 650 could do it, then my Pre should be able to do it, no? We need the ability to adjust resolution of photos, as well as color options (the old standbys of sepia and black-and-white and the like). If you want to give us some more in-depth options, like white balance and saturation adjustment, or even the ability to adjust just how much post-processing the awesome camera chip does, that’d be fine too.
Context Linking. This is a slightly more advanced request, but this is also a modern smartphone with a powerful operating system. If I enter a phone number, address, or email in a note or memo, the phone needs to notice what it is and give me options to call/text, map, or email with that data.
Email Formatting. This is a two-fold update. One: dark blue is classy and all, but I like basic black as the default. Two: this screwy reply/forward formatting has got to end. When I forward an email to a colleague, I want them to get the same email that I got.
Email Sort. While full email search should be built into Universal Search, there are some search options that need to be built into the email application. Let me sort by more than just date and flagged - how about the option to see just unread messages, or messages from Joe?
External Notifications. If I walk away from my phone and come back a while later and missed a call, plus four emails and two text messages, I have no way of knowing until I turn the phone on. Our enterprising homebrew developer community has figured out how to hack the center button light so that it lights up on new alerts, so we know it won’t be that hard to implement.
Google Maps. It works on all manner of other devices, so it’s time to add Street View and Latitude features to the webOS version of Google Maps. Additionally, transit and pedestrian mapping options would certainly be nice. And as webOS apps are supposed to be saving all the time, let Google Maps pick up right where it left off after closing the card. It’s one of those things to make it just that much faster.
Landscape Mode. It’s nice and all to have it in the browser, but it’s time to start adding landscape mode to more applications, like email, memos, and Doc and PDF View. Also, I need to be able to easily access menus while sideways, what use is an accelerometer-enabled phone if it's handicapped when rotated?
Launcher. We know it can be done, so just flip the switch and let us to add more launcher pages and be done with it.
IM Clients. The framework is there, it’s time to flip the switch and give us more than AIM and Google Talk. Give us Windows Live and Yahoo to start, and then some of the more obscure options like ICQ and Facebook chat.
Media Sync. Apple has taken their ball and gone home, and while a cat-and-mouse game of fixing and breaking iTunes synchronization certainly is fun, especially for us at PreCentral, we’re don't want to have to deal with our media synchronization abilities being broken and fixed all the time. So build in some more options for how we sync our media, or even just build your own media sync plugin for all variety of programs. On that same note, it's a little silly that iTunes is the only way to transfer a playlist to my phone - there's no reason this shouldn't work over USB too.
Music Player. First off we need the option to remember playback locations, especially for podcasts and audiobooks. Secondly, in that same vein, we need the option to scrub along the playback slider (like it’s actually a slider) to scrub through a song.
Notifications. Before I say this, I want to say that the notification bar is absolutely fantastic. It’s one of webOS’s best features, in my not so humble opinion. But... it doesn’t work in landscape. We don’t need a persistent landscape notification bar, but when I get an email while browsing in landscape mode, all I get is a chime and buzz. Add in a landscape pop-up bar just to tell me what happened (and then it can go away) and we’ll be set.
Phone As Modem. You said it was going to work at launch, and we know it can work, but Sprint clearly has put the kibosh on the official solution we know you can implement. Talk to them, we’ll pay if you at least give us the choice. That's more money for Sprint, and we know they’d like that. We need Bluetooth and USB solutions, and if you can get us WiFi hot-spot-ish capabilities, you might just get a big hug from yours truly.
Scroll Bar. The inertial flick scrolling is nice and all, but sometimes I have a really long webpage or list and repeatedly flicking and flicking and flicking gets rather irritating. A controllable scroll bar would do wonders for this qualm. It doesn’t even have to be persistent like the Palm OS of old, in fact I’d prefer it not. Here’s an example: I flick to start scrolling and a translucent scroll bar appears, then I can grab onto it and slide all the way down the page to where I want to be. When I release, it fades away. Magic, no?
Sprint Navigation. It’s nice that I can map a contact’s address directly from their contact entry, but when you have the actually-pretty-decent Sprint Navigation application included, why on Earth can’t I send the address over there for real navigation? Same goes for Calendar event locations.
Syncing Tasks/Memos. Being able to sync my tasks with Exchange is nice and all, if I have an Exchange account. But what of us that don’t? Maybe Google Tasks would be a good option, especially now that it’s out of beta. Additionally, applications like Memos need some sort of syncronization option for PC-based editing, even if that has to be through my Palm Profile.
Text Messages. Forwarding. Really.
Undo. This goes along with the upgraded cut, copy, and paste request. There are times when I hit delete and utter expletives at my idiocy. With a simple undo command I’d live a life with less profanity.
Universal Search. Make. It. Universal. Applications, contacts, and the web are fun and all, but you guys in Sunnyvale need to make it truly universal. I should be able to search my emails and memos and tasks. And if you really want to go wild and crazy, allow third-party applications to join the search mix. All of this information of course means we’re going to need some Universal Search options to filter and order things the way we need them.
Video Recording. It took Apple two years to get it on the iPhone. We don’t necessarily need fancy video editing tools (but we won’t complain if we get them), but the hardware is more than capable of supporting video recording.
Virtual Keyboard. At least for landscape mode. Don’t get me wrong, I love the physical keyboard, but I like options.
Visual Voicemail. Sprint licensed visual voicemail to work on the Samsung Instinct, so it’s time to get them to do it for the Pre. I don’t want to use the excuse of “the iPhone has it,” but it does. So does the BlackBerry Storm.

I think this is an excellent indicator that not only is Palm reviewing the feedback from the support forums here, but actively reviewing feedback/comments/wishes on other sites as well.
As the original poster copied this (quite solid, IMO) wishlist from Pre Central, the palm support staff acknowledged first seeing it there.

Trying to send Calendar invites to "groups"

Because of issues with our Exchange server, we are forced to use a backup calendar until server is fixed or replaced. (Calendar events are not showing up, disappearing, etc.) Attempting to use Calendar (brand G) on our IPhones, but having some problems getting started. (IPhone 4S's and 5C's - all with 8.1.2 installed)
Searching the web I found a way to create a "group" on an IPhone by setting up a new contact. Using the group name as the contact name and the e-mail addresses of the group members in the "e-mail" area (addresses are set-up in this form - <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>, etc).
This works fine when I send out an e-mail from my IPhone. I just create a new e-mail and enter the group name in the (To:) line. My test group has just 4 individuals and they all get the e-mail.
But when I try to use that same "group" name for sending out an invite for a new calendar event, no one in the group receives it. It shows up on my calendar (on IPhone and laptop) but shows no invitees.
Would love to hear if someone has dealt with this.
Also experiencing the GMT issue in trying to get this all worked out but hope that a fix for that might come to fruition when I get these other issues worked out.
Thanks

Have you found a solution? I can't even Accept someone else's invite. I went to the ActiveSync to solve the Calendar issue. I might switch back to regular Email, contacts and hope the Calendar works. I lose all other folder functions, task, memos, etc. My 9900 was never a problem like this. Not happy!

Update 6/18: I have directed this thread to a manager of Palm's technical team, he advised me that many of these suggestions were forwarded to the development team and most are being worked on/considered. He also confirmed that an update is coming over the next couple weeks that will fix a few issues including the SSL issue with EAS... and there is another update that will fix the MSFP issues (security policies) with EAS email (in around 60 days) It's good to hear that Palm is very responisive to our needs and suggestions.
Update 7/11: Since this thread has received so much attention and ideas I have not been able to post all the different suggestions on this front page. I have put this forum thread in front of several sprint/Palm employees that do have a say in future updates... so please keep posting suggstions! Please also use the link below. Thanks!

TIP for Bluetooth, Vista 64-bit, and PalmZire72

I'm indebted to all the folks who have added so much to the discussion and hopeful solutions to the VISTA 64-bit problem for those of us who desperately want to keep using our dependable PALM devices. (Too bad that Palm as a company is not so dependable!)
I got a Palm Zire 72 back in 2004 and it has become a vital part of doing business and living life since that time.
I've always synced to Outlook2003 for my Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, & Notes.
When I bought a new laptop with VISTA 64-bit, I had forgotten my previous determination to NOT go with 64-bit. However, the price was too good on a last display model HP and I grabbed it, 64-bit VISTA notwithstanding.
Then I did research here on this forum and I knew I needed a bluetooth adapter that had at least SOME success with VISTA 64, but I didn't read far enough to steer me to the Iogear adapters that seem favored here.
I bought an off brand AZIO from NewEgg after reading of others having some success with this adapter.
I hope my observations can help others, either with these or other brands that may have the same problems.
I already had my MSOffice installed on the HP, and had backed up my full Personal Folders from the old Compaq and then pointed the new installation to a copy of the PST file, which brought over everything including emails to the new PC.
This was probably not the best way to go because I got myself into a pickle because I used the new PC for downloading emails, but I could not sync to this PC with my Palm
I also downloaded the latest PalmDesktop, version 6.2 by Access and installed it to the PC, telling it that I wanted to sync to Outlook for my Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Memos, and some other things I'm unsure of now.
Anyway, once I got the AZIO adapter, I installed it to the PC and tried to address the various issues before trying to sync.
I made sure the name on my PalmZire72 matched the name PalmDesktop used for me.
I checked my Device Manager and it listed my Bluetooth Device (with about 5 line items showing as various Toshiba Bluetooth devices, since the AZIO uses the Toshiba Bluetooth stack for its drivers. There was also a bluetooth radio listed there.)
I tried to setup my devices with the Palm device, turning on Bluetooth, making it discoverable, but I got no Bluetooth option listed when I looked at the possible HotSync methods. I could only choose USB or Network or Serial, but no Bluetooth option.
I selected Serial and tried to use a Port that I could see in Device Manager on the PC under Ports. I tried using all the ports showing as connected to the Toshiba device but none of them allowed a HotSync to work.
I created a port using the Bluetooth Local COM program listed at the bottom of my programs within the Control Panel on the PC. I pointed the Palm Serial Sync to that port but still no luck.
The weird thing was that I KNEW my PC and PALM were talking because they each would discover the other and know the correct name I had given the other device. I knew the Bluetooth device was connecting somehow, but every time I ran the Setup Devices on the PALM bluetooth setup, it would end with the "port being used by other application" message.
I ALSO noted that even though Device Manager knew I had the bluetooth device installed, I NEVER found any such devices listed in the Bluetooth Devices program that I could pull up from either the tray icon or from Control Panel. It would always be empty and I couldn't get it to discover any device on my computer.
I tried various uninstall/reinstalls of both the PalmDesktop and the USB Bluetooth adapter, but nothing changed anything. Each time I could verify that the Palm and the PC would identify the other one by correct name I would assign, but I could never get a device listed in the critical Bluetooth Devices program and HotSync would fail.
FINALLY, after giving up and buying a new Iogear GBU421 WM adapter tonight when I found one at WalMart, I came home and began the battle again.
But I couldn't quite give up on this AZIO without ONE more try at it. I had read about installing Generic drivers in place of the ones given with a device, and I don't even think these were in the same setup as mine, but I wanted to give it a shot. These were on the "Vista 64 Hotsync solution found" thread that has so much info on it. I posted a new thread simply because I hope this specific piece to the puzzle may be found a bit quicker in its own thread.
I went to Device Manager, looked at the various drivers, wondered which one to change first, and decided to change the Bluetooth radio driver first. I don't know why. Lucky guess? :-)
It seems to me it may not have had a Toshiba designation as did the other various ones listed there.
Then I also changed the Toshiba RFCOMM listed, and pointed it to something different. It was guesswork at best, but I was searching for generic drivers.
After this, the other Toshiba Bluetooth devices mostly disappeared from the Device Manager list of Bluetooth devices. It now also divided them into TWO categories, Bluetooth and Bluetooth Radios.
Bluetooth only shows a Bluetooth RFCOMM.
Bluetooth Radios shows a Generic Bluetooth Radio and a Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator.
None of these shows a red X or other problem mark.
In my Systray, however, I show a normal blue/white icon for Bluetooth Devices and a blue/red icon for Bluetooth Manager.
The Devices window will show my Palm Zire listed with my assigned name.
The Bluetooth Manager window, identified as Bluetooth Settings, shows nothing. No connections are listed and if I click on New Connection, I'm told that "Bluetooth is not ready."
Nonetheless, I am Hotsyncing successfully!!!
The first try, (after going to generic drivers and thus actually being able to "Pair Devices" via the Bluetooth Devices window) seemed so slow that I may have given up prematurely.
I finally hit "Cancel" on the Palm device, which seemed to hang forever and not be able to get out of that loop, so I forced a shut down via the power off button.
Then I also had to to a Ctrl-Alt-Delete to force the HotSync to shut down on the PC as well.
I did a soft reset of the PalmZire and I restarted the PC after that. The next time I tried to HotSync, it didn't hang on Step 1 (of 12) even though it WAS VERY SLOW. I have a LOT of appointment info etc that I save and there was a lot to have sync for the first time on this PC.
I got a message that this device (the Palm) had synced before on another PC, and did I want to allow this to proceed since it might create lots of duplicates. I chose to let it go ahead. It did create a fair number of duplicate appointments, but mainly on in the repeating appointments type. I just went through these in Outlook and deleted one of each duplicate, deleting the whole series when I did. The next HotSync went very fast, and cleaned all these duplicates up on the Palm as well.
I have not restarted again yet, and I am not sure all is going to remain in place, but I know now that I can probably make it work out. The lack of anything listed in the Bluetooth Settings window on my PC does concern me, but I'm hopeful it won't be an issue. I don't expect to use Bluetooth for anything else, at least for now.
After all the hours I have fussed and read and griped, I am hopeful I have it worked out. I strongly suggest reading the thread mentioned above about HotSync solution found, but in addition to the other factors you have to address, remember to try changing drivers if your bluetooth doesn't work right away. (If it does, consider yourself HIGHLY BLESSED!)
Well, I gotta quit this short novella and go to bed, but I hope this helps someone else manage to set up bluetooth on a 64-bit VISTA system.
How in the world does anything as helpful as a PALM go out of business? It must have taken a lot of concerted effort by management to destroy the future of such a helpful piece of hardware!
Hang in there, Zire; I need you to keep working till a suitable alternative comes along. I doubt it'll be a Crackberry!

Further notes: When I allowed my PC to come back up from a Hibernate state, there was an error message waiting for me that said something like Port 5 is busy; Will wait till port is open" or something like that.
However, the Port I had been using (that I created for HotSyncing) was Port 8, which had worked. I don't know why this happens, but it seems to repeat itself if I do not do a clean boot.
As long as I restart the PC or boot from a shut-down state, my adapter seems fine and Port 8 is available and does work for the HotSync.
It was VERY slow on the first HotSync that had to run MANY procedures and lots of calendar stuff, but now the HotSyncs are SO FAST. Much faster than they were with the USB and Windows XP.
I have now turned my Firewall ON and it does NOT affect the HotSync. (I DID go into the Firewall setup and added Bluetooth Settings, HotSync Manager, and Palm Desktop to the exceptions list to ALLOW these through the Firewall.)
My antivirus program also does not seem to cause any problems for the HotSync, even though it does have to interject itself each time the Outlook data gets accessed. It just verifies that there is no virus activity going on, so it makes a momentary pause as Outlook info is updated.
I also have found that the HotSync runs fine whether Outlook is already open or not.
So far, I'm quite happy things are smoothing out!! Let's hope it continues.
