Old Palm user with a new Iphone4

I have used Palm products and Palm Desktop for a LOT of years. Palm phones are getting so tiny that my fat fingers and weak eyes just won't cut it anymore. Enter my new IPhone which I just purchased last Sunday.
I have a few questions.
Is there a conversion utility that will get the data off my Palm or Palm Desktop software onto my IPhone? I have over 600 records I need to transfer. The AT&T salesman used a machine to make the transfer for me but the data is all scrambled.
Is there a way to add contact data on my laptop and then sync it to the iPhone like using Palm Desktop?
Finally, how do you delete the entire address book so I can delete the scrambled data and start over?
Thanks.

"Is there a way to add contact data on my laptop and then sync it to the iPhone like using Palm Desktop?"
This is a basic feature of the iphone.
The manual should help.
You can Google for instructions to get your data from your palm desktop to an iphone compatible program like Outlook.

If they are the old clear globe speakers that worked with old G4 models, then no.

No. The purchase history is tied to your iTunes store account.
Maybe there is a different way to achieve your objective. Why do you think you need to change your account name?

I am going to replace my 3 year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro Retina display machine. I have been told by Apple that I can use the Migration Assistant ON MY WIRELESS NETWORK (no cables) to transfer data... I've read this can take AGES.. True?

I am planning to replace my 3+ year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro, Retina display... I have been told by "chat" on the Apple site that I can transfer my data wirelessly... on my network.. Is is a good option? I don't want to invest in cables if I can help it... since the old machine has firewire and the new one has thunderbolt! Will the wireless transfer take forever... as in 30-50 hours??? I've been hearing these horror stories...

Replacing old hard drive with a new one. HP ENVY DV7 7230us laptop

I am trying to replace my old hard drive with a new one. For some reason it won't do it. I want to perform a clean install with the recovery disks. It seems the only way I can do this is to clone the old one with the new. I have attempted several times and wasted a lot of time trying to use my new drive. Is HP preventing me from doing this for some reason? Is there a work around for this?

Do you know anything about this? Now I am having problems installing the original win8 operating system, (purchased the 3 disk set) on the original hard drive, Toshiba 750g.. It installs up to updating updates but hangs at 13%. The reinstall hasn't even finished. Getting very frustrated. Your assistance is very appreciated.

Replace old iPhone 3G with the new iPhone 4S ?

I have been having some problems with my old iPhone 3G - bought from outside the US -
and want to get it replaced.
Does anyone know if Apple will replace this old iPhone 3G with the new iPhone 4S ?

Hehe not a chance. There have been a few that got a new 3GS as a replacement but even those are rare.

HT1515 How do i get my old AirPort Express (7years old) to work with my new Time Capsule?

How do i get my old AirPort Express (7years old) to work with my new Time Capsule?

Does anyone at Apple have help for this sort of question - I too have an old printer (HP LaserJet 5MP) that I would like to keep using on my Mac. (Mac OSX 10.6.8).
I got it working by getting a USB cord that connects to it - but every once in a while it just stops working for weeks. The mac 'sees' it and it sends the data because the printer lights start blinking but then it just doesn't do anything. Is there no one who can tell me (and raterada) how to get some new life into these old printers. I would rather not add this (and a new toner cart) to the landfill just yet. . .

Can I use the old power supply with the new unit?

I have a second generation Apple TV. When I install the new unit next week can I use the old power supply with the new one and the new power supply with the old one? This would save some messing with cords behind the units.

Hello:
I would definitely not try that..... The power supplies may be compatible - or may not be compatible. I think messing with cables is a small price to pay for not potentially frying a new device.

Best way to Replace OLD Time Capsule with a new one

What is the best way to replace an old Time capsule with a new Time Capsule in an existing wireless network?

IMHO..
Start over..
Put the new TC in place and configure .. completely differently to the old one. That means you have to go around and reset everything to connect if you use wireless.. and you should forget all the old configuration beforehand.
You can of course try and slip it in using identical names and identical settings.. but the computers are not fooled.. the BSSID is different. And other issues tend to arise.
Use naming that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
See Pondini post C9 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
It may take more time to start with.. depending on how many devices you have.. but in the end, you can get much less problems out the other side.. which are extraordinarily hard to diagnose and fix..
But that is IMHO.. others are welcome to dispute that and may find a full swap using old settings copied to a file and copied back to the new TC work fine.
There are any number of posts around about doing just that.
I will post one if I see it..
I do confess to being a bit of a purist when it comes to this stuff.. but then I used to do computer support and trying to fix the messes people got themselves into .. inevitably they tried to cut corners.. instead of doing the setup from scratch.

Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

That's really good to know. I thought because it was a different thickness you wouldn't be able to, and the dock adaptor that comes with the new iPods doesn't fit into the old Photo dock.
Do you know if you can use the charger that came with the old Photo iPods? You can plug straight into the power socket, but the cable that goes into the charger from the iPod is the firewire cable, so I was thinking maybe it wouldn't work, and I don't want to try it in case I short out my iPod or something!

How do you change an used ipad to a new user with a new itunes account?

How do you cange a used ipad to a new user with a new itunes account?

plug your ipad to your computer, open your itunes, click on the ipad icon, at the first page there is an option to "restore" ipad to its factory settings, click it. Don't remove USB connection, wait until it finishes wiping the data and it should place a new window that asks you to register the ipad.
There you go, your iPad is sync with your itunes account under your name, its best to also use "Find my iPad" just in case it gets lost, you can track it from your computer. Very handy tool and its free!
But if you want the data that is in the iPad, back up it first and sync the content to your library before restoring it to its factory settings
Have a great day and enjoy your iPad

Any tricks to swapping out my old time capsule with a new airport extreme I am also using airport expresses

Any tricks to swapping out my old time capsule with a new airport extreme I am also using airport expresses? The hard drive on the TC quit working.

I do plan on using an external USB HDD for time machine backups. I have both 802.11g and 802.11n used for playing music via stereos.
I would recommend against it. Apple does not support Time Machine backups to AirPort Disks (USB HDD attached to the AirPort Extreme). Although folks have done so, we get a number of them here asking for help with their corrupted backups. If your backups are critical to you, please use another means (like connecting the USB HDD directly to your Mac) to do so.
