Old palm software on new device

I have an ancient palm pilot m515 that has just died. I'm thinking of getting a palm treo. Can anyone tell me if I will be able to use any of my old palm software (free downloads, etc) on the new device? Thanks a bunch.

The thing to do is to follow the Upgrade Guide to isolate the new device from all the third-party apps that reside in the Backup folder from your old Palm m515. This thread discusses the upgrade procedure and links you to the Upgrade Guide:
http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=hardware&thread.id=24532
Then, selectively you can reinstall the old apps, one at a time, to see if they play nicely with the new device. Just go into the renamed Backupold folder (see the procedure), and double-click on the one you want. Then play with it on the new Palm for a good week or so. If you don't notice any strange behavior, unexplained freezes, spontaneous resets, etc., it should be fine and you can go to the next one.
One of the best games I (still) play on almost every Palm I've owned is Yahdice, a great (free) Yahtzee clone. No color, no glitz, perfect game play on every Palm I've had from a IIIxe to the m515, m130, etc. all the way to my TXes and Centro. So, just because an application is older doesn't automatically mean it won't run cleanly on a new Palm device.

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!

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.

Dead Palm Pixie to new device

My palm pixie has received water damage and is now dead. I have been offered a phone by one of my friends. Is there anyway possible to get my old info. onto the new phone?
Post relates to: Pixi p120eww (Sprint)

Hello and welcome to the forums,
If the device will not power up at all. The only data available will be the PIM data (Contacts, Calendar, memos and tasks) located on the Palm Profile/HP Webos Account. You could try going to the carrier and using another Web OS device to log into your Web OS account and download your data to that device. Then, ask them to celebrite it to your current device.
Any data on the USB partition of the device will be unavailable if the device will not power up at all.
Hopefully this helps you...
Thanks,
Cola

Workaround--How I put old photo stream on new device

So I bought a new iPhone and turned on PhotoStream and was pretty upset that only the last 30 days worth of photo stream photos made it back to my device... I did a lot of reading and found out that nothing was set-up wrong, it was just the way photo stream works.
Here's the skinny, for any device only the last 30 days worth of photo stream will be transfered to said device upon activation of PhotoStream--for those of us that want to have their old photo stream photo's on their new device there is a work around.
First, open iPhoto and select "iCloud" from the menu bar on the left, this will show you your photo stream. What was curious to me was that my iPhoto on my Mac Mini had 376 photos, as did my trusty old iPad, but not my brand new iPhone 5S, it only had 100 photos... This is actually how PhotoStream works though.
So to fix the disparity, and to keep from KEEPING duplicates, you need to go back to the first photo in your PhotoStream on your computer, for our purposes we'll call this photo 1 in your stream, and then highlight through the latest photo that is NOT on your new device, for me this was photo 276.
Next set-up a new folder on your desktop, and copy the missing photo's to the new folder.
Now, wait for them to copy to the desktop folder, this should take a few minutes,,,
Next, go back to iPhoto and delete the selected photos from your photo stream, a warning comes up and says this action cannot be undone, hit ok.
Then select all of the photos from the new folder, and drag them back to iPhoto, if it asks you about duplicates, hit import.
Now, wait while your photo stream re-builds ( this will likely only work for 1,000 photos or less )
Once the photo stream is correct across your devices, for me it was my Mac Mini, my iPad and my iPhone, go back to iPhoto and select the "Last Import" tab from the menu bar on the left, select all of the photos (they are dupicates) and delete them from there.
You will be left without duplicates and a rebuilt photo stream across your devices.

Set it up to use the same Apple ID as your other device, then sync your computer to it in iTunes.

Palm needs a new device for summer on sprint after HTC Evo announcement.

First, I am a loyal Palm fan and believe web OS is the best mobile OS on the market to date. No one is close to the ease of use of the OS and the pure genius of getting updates out and innovating and improving so quickly. With that said, if you know about the HTC Evo and its specs, you tend to think the Pre is a drag. A webOS device with a 4.3 inch screen would be quite the experience and with a better camera for nice HD video and HDMI out, it would be awesome with the new editing feature. The most important thing is the processing speed. If webOS was super slick with a snapdragon processor it would be a no brainer to pick this phone over any phone currently on the market. Palm if you are listening, the palm pre was a great device and the pre plus only made it better. It needs to go further and quickly.

+1. I feel the WebOS is far superior to Android but Palm is falling behind. I recently added a patch that makes my Pre way faster and is even more stable than without it. Many of us that got our Pre will be up for our Premier upgrade in June and we need Palm and Sprint to give us something to keep up us using the Pre. With other carriers now carrying the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus why can't Sprint carry the same. Maybe even a 4g version. At this point if Palm has not even launched a rumor about a next generation Pre on the Sprint network I may be jumping on the Evo bandwagon. I hope this thread is read and taken seriously. There is huge hype on the Evo and Palm needs to attack.

How can i transfer my songs from my old iPod to my new devices

How can I transfer music from my old ipod device to my new ipad/iphone and mac. The original computer I use to sync my ipod with crashed and burned and I can no longer sync it without loosing all the music on the old ipod device.

You can use Senuti. It transfers your music to iTunes for sync your music to your devices

How do I access my old pics on a new device?

I just got a new iPhone5S and would like to know how to access my photos already on iCloud from my other devices.

Photo stream photos only stay in iCloud for 30 days, even though they remain on your devices until deleted. If you sign into your iCloud account in Settings>iCloud and enable My Photo Stream you will only get photos from the last 30 days. To stream older photos to your phone, you'll have add them to a shared stream and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.

Wat if i delete my old backup from my new device after reatoring in it? Do i loose the data

What if i delete this old back up from my phone i may loose my old data?

You don't lose any data, once restored your new phone will create it's own backup, so deleting backup is precisely what needs to be done.

Moving software to new device

How do I move my CS5 software from my windows laptop to my Mac? My CD is labeled windows does that mean it won't work on apple?

That is correct, they are OS dependant. Your only option is to upgrade to CS6 pertetual licence in Mac, or subscribe to CC which is not OS dependant.

Migrate OpenWapp to a new device?

Is it possible to move OpenWapp with all contacts and messages from my Keon to my Flame?
As I found out by looking at its source code, OpenWapp seems to be using IndexedDB for storage of conversations.

Hi feklee,
It might be possible to restore your old profile into the new device using the backup-restore script that was mentioned in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029845 other thread] about backing up OpenWapp:
* [https://github.com/Mozilla-TWQA/B2G-flash-tool/blob/master/backup_restore_profile.sh]
However, please keep in mind that backing up and restoring profiles across versions and devices can cause unexpected behavior and/or crash the device.
If you still haven't received a response from OpenWapp's support, you may also try one of Mozilla's mailing lists, or StackOverflow, which are more geared towards developers:
* [http://lists.mozilla.org/]
* [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/firefox-os]
I hope you find this information useful. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your Firefox OS device.
Thanks,

Transfering data using switch device manager from old palm to new curve 8330....please help!!!

Trying for hours to import data using switch device manager from old Palm Treo and Palm Desktop 4.2 to my new Blackberry Curve 8330. Blackberry seem to connect...but second step of choising Palm or Mircrosort will not allow me to select anything. I do not believe Palm is connecting...Is my palm to old? If I cannot tranfer data this way, especially contacts is there any other way besides entering it into Blackberry one by one?

Hi there!
If the device switch wizard is not working, check this KB to be sure all of your Palm things are compatible and that you are using the correct process:
KB05459 How to use the Switch Device Wizard to switch from another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone
And then see this KB for some troubleshooting help
KB10722 BlackBerry Desktop Manager does not detect the Palm software when using the Switch Device Wizard
And if it happens that it will not work, then you will have to find out how to export from your Palm to an ASCII or CSV file...then you can import it with this process:
KB11194 How to import contacts from an CSV file to the BlackBerry device
Good luck and let us know!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed. I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

Updating Old Palm Vx with OS 3.1 to OS 5.4 from New Z22

I just purchased a Z22 for my wife and would like to operate my old Vx and her new Z22 from the same computers. Should I have difficulty in updating the old Palm OS 3.1 to the new Palm OS Garnet v 5.4?
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
The Palm Vx cannot be updated to Palm OS 5.4. It doesn't have the hardware to support it.
However, if what you mean is that you want to synchronize both handhelds to the same desktop, that should work fine, so long as each device has its own Hotsync ID. The Palm Desktop and Hotsync software is not the same as the Palm OS that runs the handhelds themselves. I believe the Z22 shipped with Palm Desktop 4.2, and you should be able to sync the 'vx to this Palm Desktop version as well.

HT201317 My shared photo album will not work. I am trying to upload photos but I doesn't show up in my new device. I've done it before but now it's not working. My old device is a 4s iOS 7.1.1 and my new one is a 5 iOS 8.1.1. How can I make the pictures s

my photo stream does not work at all. I've tried making a new album, but that does not work. So I've tried using an already existing album and deleting the pictures there. I decided to only upload 1 photo from my old phone (iPhone 4s iOS 7.1.1) to see if it'll show up on my new device (iPhone 5 iOS 8.1.1) it doesnt even show up in my new phone (iPhone 6 iOS 8.1.2) this picture is what shows up on both my iPhone 6 and 5 but on the 4s there is a picture that I "uploaded" and a second one that came out of nowhere. I do not know what to do because in the past this has worked out for me and it shows up on all three devices

You can't restore to a backup that was taken on a device which has a higher version of iOS than on your iPad, you will have to update your iPad to 8.1.3 to be able to restore to it
You should be able to update your iPad via Settings > General > Software Update

I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated. Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one? It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!! THANKS!

I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?
