Only Able to Wirelessly Sync Palm Centro One-Time Before Needing to Reboot My PC to Sync Again

I'm using a Bluetooth dongle to sync between a Palm Centro and my PC, which uses the Windows Vista 64-bit and Outlook 2007. After an unbelievable four hours on the phone with Palm support, I was able to synchronize wirelessly because that was the only option available.
All synchronizations have been problem free for at least four months and then for reasons that escape me, I can only successfully sync once, without having to reboot my PC. It seems that each reboot is good for one sync. When I try to sync more than once, I get the following error message on my Centro:
"Unable to initiate hot sync operation because the port is in use by another application."
I am probably going to be upgrading to Windows 7 over the next month or two and am a bit concerned with the problems I've seen from people who've gone from Vista to Windows 7, who did not have any problems under Vista. The only reason I mention this is because of whatever solution that is suggested, hopefully it will also work under Windows 7.
It is great to have a community that helps with Palm. Thank you very much.

The Bluetooth work around as worked for most customers and does not for some. This is for both Vista 64 and Windows 7 64. With your case it sounds like the Bluetooth partnership needs to be renewed. To do that delete both partnerships from the device and then re-add them.

Vendor not able to see bid invitations created one day before

Hi friends,
We are workig with SRM5.0 SP08. I have observed that vendors are not able to see bid invitations processed one day before.
Could you pls suggest the probable reason, if anybody has come across similar problem? Bid invitation version is active and can be seen with purchasers login.
Your responses will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi Marcin,
all these bid invitation statuses are not closed. its published only. The problem is bidder is not able to see bid invitations with dates in the past.
Dinesh,
Ur right. There is also problem with search functionality. In fact I can display list of bid invitations only if I am not giving any search criteria.

Is there someway to disable the Outlook sync process when I hook up to my computer? I don't mind the AOL e-mail sync, but do not want or need the Outlook contacts/e-mail sync.

Is there someway to disable the Outlook sync process when I hook up to my computer? I don't mind the AOL e-mail sync, but do not want or need the Outlook contacts/e-mail sync.

With the phone connected, go to the info tab for the phone in iTunes. That's where you specify what contacts, calendars, e-mail accounts, etc. to sync and to what applications.

Can't sync Palm Centro and Outlook 2007/Windows 7 - please help!

Hello,
I've never posted on a forum, but I'm at my wits end...! I've been trying to get my Palm Centro to sync Contacts/Calendar/Memos to Outlook 2007 on my new laptop for a week now with no success. It used to sync just fine to my old computer with Windows XP and Outlook 2003. Then that computer crashed (my Outlook files were backed up on an external harddrive). I received my new computer with Windows 7 XP (32-bit) and Outlook 2007.  I've downloaded the Palm Desktop 6.2, Windows 2007 Conduit, and Software Update 1.03 (Windows installer) for Centro for Verizon.
When I sync my phone to my new Outlook, it completes all 12 steps, but does not load Contacts/Calendar/Memos to Outlook.  This is a list of the error messages:
   HotSync session started on 04/14/10 12:11:25, and completed in 100.0 seconds

Can someone please help me transfer Contacts/Calendar/Memos from my Palm Centro to my computer's Outlook 2007?
I've ready about 3rd party software in posts (Pocket Mirror), but I don't know if it applies here because the Contact/Calendar/Memo information is in my Centro - not in Outlook. I need to get it from my Centro to Outlook 2007.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I have a Pre Plus and am using CompanionLink software. If the Centro is like the Plus (which I believe it is) it will not sync with Outlook. Here is a link to Companion Link:

I have been using this and it works great. On their site you can choose the phone and the particular program you need to sync with and choose which you way you want to sync.
Hope this helps
Sorry hat, the Centro has absolutely nothing in common with a webOS device! It runs PalmOS. Nice of you to reply with your suggestion though!
@SyncHelpPlease: OLERR errors are covered in this Palm KB article:

Something I noticed in your post - you installed Palm 6.2.2 AND the 2007 conduit. Palm Desktop 6.2.2. has the 2007 conduits built into it already, and the patch is not needed. Whether this is the cause of your problems, I'm not sure, but I've fielded several posts of the same issue where the user did the same thing you did!
I'd suggest doing a clean uninstall, and reinstall of Palm Desktop 6.2.2 only.
I admit, I do not use Outlook, nor Win7, so I'm giving you my best guess at a way to solve your problem. Hopefully, this may lead to a solution!

Can't sync palm centro with Mac G4 and palm software 4.2.1

I just purchased a palm centro690 smart phone. My service is with verizon. I have a Mac G4 with OS 10.4.11. I already had palm software installed on my computer and was using the palm calendar as my main calendar. My calendar and address data won't sync with my palm centro. I've tried changing the settings of the conduits to 'MacIntosh overrides device'. I've tried removing and then reinstalling the palm software as well. Strangely enough, the memos and the tasks did hotsync. I spent around 2 hours with palm tech support and nothing is working. I'm not completely sure, however, that I correctly removed the palm software from my desktop before reinstalling the new software. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Allen G
Thank you so much for your reply. I did speak to a different customer service person at Palm tech support. I think that the problem was that I had a different username on my device (from a previous test) and after changing that and doing a hard reboot of the phone and also changing the settings on the proper conduits, it is now working. I had tried changing the settings on the conduits before, but I think that it had synced with the wrong username on the device for some reason. It now seems to be working.

Past one-time calendar events do not show up on synced Ipod Touch 2G

In the transition of moving my old Palm calendar info (data since late 1999) to iCal on my Macbook and then on to Mobile Me, everything has gone fine. Nearly every single event has been accurately transferred to the Mac and then to the "cloud" with nary a problem. However, when I sync my new iPod Touch 2G to the Mobile Me calendar, the iPod calendar's events are only complete for the past month. Reoccurring events show up for past months and years, but no one-time events pre mid-August 2008 show up on the iPod calendar. I am viewing "all" calendars when I do this. New events sync on all devices without error.
This is a 16 gig iTouch not even half full with software and data goodies.
What's the deal? Am I missing a setting or preference somewhere? I sometimes like to see when past events happened on my portable device's calendar. This was no problem on the ancient Palm I previously used.
TIA for any help or advice with this mystery.

On the iPod go to :-
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar
Then scroll down to the Calendar settings.
You should see an option called 'Sync', here you select how far back it will sync events. You can select 'All Events' which is what you want.

Prints only one document before needing reset

I have a Samsung ML-1710 connected to my TC by USB. The TC is a member of my wireless network and has WSD remote enabled. After I power on the TC I am able to wirelessly print one document regardless of its size. The second document goes to the printer without any errors but it is never printed. Restarting the printer or computer does not help. But if I power cycle the TC, and resend the document I get one more document. Any ideas? Thanks

Sync Palm Centro with Windows Vista's Calendar (not Outlook).

I am unable to find any information (ast least so it makes sense to me) that would explain how to actually sync between the calendar app that comes with Vista rather than Outlook.
Can anybody tell me whether I can do this? If so, how????
Thank you very much.

There is no current software available that provides this functionality, atleast that I am aware of.

Only Able To Add *4* Files At A Time?! =(

Is it just me, or does iTunes not let you upload anymore than four files at a time??? I tried to put an album on, and nothing got uploaded. I had to add four songs at a time, which was a real pain. Same goes for my videos.
Is this a glitch in iTunes, or just another really stupid "feature"?

i went back down to 6.0.3 and it said that my itunes library file was for the NEWER iTunes...i dont want to lose my stuff on iTunes, so i guess i'm stuck with 7.
I will try to downgrade to 7.0.0 right now.
Gimme a couple mins.
Thanks!

Nubie with Tungsten E2 with Mac sync, now have Palm Centro... can I sync both?

I have been using a Tungsten E2 for about 12 months, and now have a Palm Centro phone. I need to use both, and don't know what I should do about loading both disks on my Mac OS X 10.4.11 and if I can sync both. Any thoughts?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2
Message Edited by FranAnne1 on 01-26-2010 07:32 PM

You can sync both, but it is recommended that you have two different usernames for both devices. If the Centro is to become the main device you can sync the device to the same username of the E2. But the E2 then should be hard reset and synced with a different username.
Reason this is, is so the devices and programs that run do not have problems in the future. If you have two different devices with the same username you can risk corrupted data, programs, and OS.
If you have any questions please post back.

Data from my old sync account (the one used on firefox 28) got replaced by data from my new sync account (the one used on firefox 34)

Disaster step by step:
1. Run old Firefox 28, using a separate profile named "Firefox 28", and log in to my old sync account (the one used on Firefox 28). In the old sync account i have saved tons of useful bookmarks and data. Got a device name "Admin's Firefox on HP-Laptop".
2. Check all my old bookmarks and they are fine. Stupid of me i didn't make a backup at that point.
3. Run new Firefox 34.0.5, using a separate profile named "default", and log in to my new sync account (the one used on Firefox 29 and on). In the new sync account i have saved a few bookmarks only. Got a device name "Admin's Firefox on HP-Laptop" again. Stupid of me i didn't pick another name. Didn't imagine what was about to happen.
4. What happened: All of my precious data which was stored on the old sync account got replaced by the few bookmarks of the new sync account. And by replaced i mean replaced ON THE SYNC SERVER. Now the old sync server has the very little data of the new sync account and i have lost all my precious data!!!
That little bug of Firefox cost me all of my data on the server.
People, please help me find a solution to recover my data that was stored on the old sync server and got replaced. I have no backup of the lost bookmarks nor backup of a profile that contains them.
P.S.: I used the default setting to sync, which was to merge data.
P.S.2: I don't maintain a personal old Firefox Sync server.
Who is the administrator of the old sync server maintained by Mozilla? Does he keep image backup? Maybe he could extract my data from an image backup. A pre-today date would be fine!

Hi,
Unfortunately Sync does not backup. However in Windows 7 you can right click on the profile folder and select to restore to a previous version.
I hope this helps, and I am very sorry about the lost data.

Syncing Palm in Vista

I have a Palm Treo 755p that I would like to sync with Oracle Calendar. The computer being used has Vista and Office 2007 installed. Palm Desktop 6.2.2 with Hotsync 7.0.2 is also installed. I have found that Oracle Calendar Sync does not work with this setup so I have configured Oracle Connector for Outlook and Hotsync Outlook conduits. I am able to sync this way but have run in to issues with duplicate calendar entries and contacts. I am in a support environment where some customers do not use Outlook but still want to sync to OCAL. I am curious what other people are using and their thoughts on syncing Palm products with OCAL through Vista.

You should use syncml and sync directly with the server.

How do I restore previous session one time only.

I closed Firefox by mistake.
I reopened it, hoping to Restore Previous Session.
Unlike other browsers, I found no easy link nor mention in any of the dropdowns from the menu on top left.
I went to the Archives, but none of the solutions worked:
1) I do not want it to auto restore the previous session, I only want it to do it this one time.
2) None of the things mentioned to click on in the help articles exist in this version of Firefox.

Go to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config About:config] find (type in the bar) [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once] and change it to TRUE (by double-click on it).
see for more info : [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_once Restoring a session once]
thank you

Laptop, Desktop, one ipod...is there any way to sync it all up?

I'm sure this question gets asked weekly, but I'd like the songs and metadata at home to exactly sync with the songs and metadata at work. That way my most often played actually changes based on my work numbers (among other cool benefits).
So, with apple products, is this possible or no? do I have to go get some 3rd party software to pull it off?

Nope.
The concept of sync is that one computer is the controlling device and the iPod syncs to it.
