Old Visor and want to start using again

Hey all.
I am brand new to this forum so if this is in the wrong place, please forgive.  I have a Visor purchased in 2001, I think it's a Platinum but can't be sure.  I lost all paperwork and hardware in Hurricane Ivan.  Also the computer that had all of the software for syncing died and had to be replaced since then.
So. Here is the thing.  I can't afford to get anything new and want to start using this.  It's in great shape but at the moment the only way I have to have info on it is to manually type all contact info, calendar info, etc directly into the device.  I don't have a cradle and don't know of any other way to connect to my computer.  Also, I don't know what type of operating system is on it and can't seem to find that info so I am unsure if it will work with XP.
I called the company a while back, it was suggested I look on eBay for a cradle but am unsure if that is the best option as what if it's not the right one.  Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Since the hurricane I have become disabled and live on a very modest disability income so even though new ones are really not that expensive, they are to me.
Having this working would definitely help me keep things like my medical appointments straight, as I have to go to several different states even for my doc appoints and sometimes it can get confusing.
thanks again.
Laura

If you don't have a cable or cannot get one, the only option is to Infrared hotsync. Your PC needs to have an Infrared port in order to accomplish this.
On page 183 of the user guide are the instructions for IR hotsync'ing.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.

  • Sometimes when I close FF and want to start it again message apears "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.". Why is this happening ?

    Then I have to press ctrl+alt+del and close it "manualy"
    I think that it doesn't happen when I wait for, I'm not sure how long, before I start again program

    That can happen if Firefox doesn't close properly and there is still a hanging Firefox process running.

  • HT4314 I have just got a new ipod touch but my game centre games are on the old one and i don't want to start them again, can I transfer the stage i'm at or anything?

    I have just got a new ipod touch but my game centre games are on the old one and i don't want to start them again, can I transfer the stage i'm at or anything?

    The progress for some games will transfer since some games synce progress to a cental server. For other games you will have to have the backup of the old iPod.
    You can restore from backup or access the backup. See:
    How to transfer game saves between iOS devices, without iTunes, and without jailbreaking | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
    If you have acces to the old iPod yu can make a backup by connecting the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore from that backup.

    I've got twin 12 year old boys and want to set I tunes accounts for them both, I need to be able to administer any purchases as they will need to use my bank account. How can I do this?

    What do you mean by administer?
    When you set up the account you have to enter a birthday and it has to results in being 13 years old or older.
    You can set a Restriction that hides the iTunes and App store and another one to prevent in-app purchases. See:

    The problem is that im getting an error saying time out!!! and when i start downloading again it starts from zero!!

    Their alternative option is for you to bring it into the store
    You could google and look for some download helpers (presuming they still exist, haven't used them in years) but they're freeware or adware that caches your download to help you recover from timeouts.
    the timeout is possibly caused by your ISP, if they regularly cycle routers or the such it 'burps' your connection  causeing it to cut out.
    You might try taking your laptop to your local library which may have wifi. Or, as the others have suggested, a friend's house with cable internet.

  • My husband and I have upgraded our phones (iPhone 4s and iPhone 5) to the iPhone 5s.  We have given 2 of our kids the "old" phones and want to set them up as an iPod touch.  Both kids have email and need to be able to text (iMessage).

    My husband and I have upgraded our phones (iPhone 4s and iPhone 5) to the iPhone 5s.  We have given 2 of our kids the "old" phones and want to set them up as an iPod touch.  Both kids have email and need to be able to text (iMessage).
    I have read multiple posts on how to do this and I am still confused.
    Apple ID/ICoud:
    We want to be able to monitor what they do, but do not want their devices linked to our emails/contacts/etc...  Each kid has their own email account.  So, from what I have read the best way to do this is to use our family Apple ID, but set them up with a separate iCloud account?  Is this correct?
    Reset/Restore/DFU:
    To start fresh we have done multiple factory resets.  I did one that someone said was a DFU and a plan ol' factory reset, etc...  Not sure the difference.  However, when I do that I get the "hello" screen and am able to start setting the phone up anew.  However, when I go to set the phone up as an iPod I end with the same result.
    So, here is what I am doing (tell me what I am doing wrong):
    Hello Screen
    Asks me to select language and selecting:  English
    Select Your Country or Region:  United States
    Choose a Wi-Fi Network:  select my home wi-fi network
    Enter password:  entered my home wi-fi network password
    Activiate iPhone - wants me to enter Apple ID and Passwordsays that this iphone is currently linked to an Apple ID (k*******@gmail.com).  Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.
    Location Services - I have enabled location services
    Set Up iPhone
    Set Up as New iPhone
    Apple ID
    Options are to sign in with your Apple ID or Create a Free Apple ID
    Or I could "skip this step"
    I signed in with my Apple ID
    Terms and Conditions - Agree
    iCloud - I can select either to use iCloud or Don't Use iCloud - I selected use iCloud
    Find My iPhone - I can select either to use find my iPhone or to not - I selected use find my iphone
    Once I do this it says iMessage and FaceTime and shows the following:
    my email
    my other child's cell phone number
    and my husband's work phone number
    This is where things do not make sense.  I only want the phone set up with the current child's email address.  Where did I go wrong?

    There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
    Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
    iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
    For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
    All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:

  • Trial version of Illustrator CC 2014 takes over my CS6 old version and forces me to use CC 2014 on launch. How to fix?

    Trial version of Illustrator CC 2014 takes over my CS6 old version and forces me to use CC 2014 on launch. How to fix? FIle> get info>won't let me choose >Open this file with CS6. Forces me to use CC 2014 Illustrator which I don't want because I am doing client work in CS6 that I own and I do not have time to try out the CC version.
    I also do not like the black interface in illustrator as I cannot even see the layer icon at the bottom. I won't want to buy it if this is all that's offered.

    You can change the UI brightness in the prefs. Otherwise I'm not clear what your issue is. Handling file associations are operating system basics and you can look them up on a simple web search and from drag&drop onto the launchpad/ dock icon for CS6 to opening the files directly from within AI there sure are enough alternatives, don't you think?

  • When I close Firefox, then later want to start up again, I get I message that Firefox is still running. With "START TASK MANAGER", I need to close Firefox in order to start again.

    When I close Firefox, then later want to start up again, I get I message that Firefox is still running. With "START TASK MANAGER", I need to close Firefox in order to start again.

    I have the same problem. Firefox won't unload regardless of how long I wait. Literally hours ... I must go in and 'end the process'. This has been a real hassle for a while now. Even considered giving up on firefox. Please look into this! An additional problem; I have to run firefox to get the updates, but I can't get the updates to take because I can't get firefox to unload so I can restart it.

    That's all nonsense. Most people don't post anything if they don't have any problems. People who do have problems usually have very specific reasons for them that they have caused themselves.

    200% or more is not strange. Remember that your mac has 4 cores (you say it's 3 months old, so I assume it is a new model), so 200% amounts to using 2 of these 4 cores to the max.
    Regarding the question of creating a new admin user: while it sits in the same system, it may help if the problem is caused by some user-specific preferences or settings. Not likely in your case, since you seem to have reinstalled from scratch, but still it is worth a try. It takes 5 minutes and may help pinpoint the problem.

    I have marked some video cuts for removing, and want to activate them again and take away the marking (a red line over the thumbnails). How do I do that?

    In the middle tool bar, near the Reject Tool that you used to make the red marks, there should be an "Un-Mark" Tool. Select this tool and you can erase the red marks. It should look like an empty star.
    YOu can select "View Rejected Only" to make sure you get them all.
