Actually, your E2 is running PalmOS Garnet version 5.4.
You are viewing a different section of the device, probably some application version.

You cannot sync 2 dissimilar devices to the same username, it will cause the issues you are experiencing.
You need to have seperate usernames in Palm desktop for each device. Since you have lost data, you need to try and recover the data first. See the steps in the procedure listed below.
After the data recovery and the data is correct in Palm desktop, you need to export the data from the current username, create a new username for the T3, export the data from the current username and then import to the username for the T3.
Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding Upgrading from a previous Palm OS handheld.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=12926
You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. On Vista the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak.
The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=26674
Here is another link regarding data loss;
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=39503
The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.
Here is a link for other options for backing up your data;

The Missing Sync for Palm OS v6.0.4 won't run with my Palm Tungsten E2

Having problems with Palm iSync on My iBook with 10.4.11 I bought The Missing Sync.
I removed Palm Desktop and installed Missing Sync. However sync won't start when I press the HotSync button.
Is my Palm Tungsten E2, running Palm OS Garnet v. 3.1.1 too old?
If so, can I upgrade it?

No, there is nothing published - that I am aware of - other than the Missing Sync User Guide that you received [as portable document format file] when you purchased the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
There is some developer documentation available from Apple, but it has little direct bearing on anything like the issue you are seeing. Your crash logs should have provided an indication of what was going on, and - using them - Mark/Space should have been able to identify your issue pretty easily.
It's very difficult to troubleshoot unusual issues remotely. Common problems - which can be easily identified - are readily corrected just by following the instructions posted by some knowledgable person here in the Apple Discussions forums. Given the unique circumstances you report of total failure following the installation of the Missing Sync, it's very likely that the actual culprit in your configuration is NOT the Palm desktop, iSync, .Mac Sync, the Missing Sync for Palm OS or your Treo 600. Something unique about your configuration is likely responsible. Trying to eliminate the variables, though, is not an easy task.
One relatively easy way to troubleshoot such issues is to create a new user, reinstall the Missing Sync and attempt to synchronize using that new user account. If that process is successful, you'll immediately know that something involving your existing user account is responsible for the issue.

Palm Tungsten E2 and Mac 10.3.9

I am getting a Palm Tungsten E2. What issues should I be aware of when trying to use it with iSync/OS 10.3.9? I plan on using it to keep my calendar and contacts handy, for the most part.
Also, I foresee upgrading to a new computer within 6 months- will the Tungsten still be useful with the new OS?

First things first...all installations should be updated to 4.0.5.

At this point it looks like your device is in a looping reset because of the incompatible app.
Try the system/warm reset in the following link to see if you can stop the looping.
Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding reset procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887
If you can get the device to stop looping, try a hotsync and see if you can get your data backed up.
After the sync, you will need to do the following in order to remove the incompatible app. from the sync'ing process.
Hard reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over you will need to rename your backup folder, to do that go here;
XP
C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Vista
Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
tasks, and memos will come back over.
Show file extensions for XP or Vista
XP
If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a
folder go to Tools-->Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
Vista
Open control Panel go to Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
If the above steps don't resolve your issue, you will need to hard reset.
You can try a hard reset to resolve the issue. The hard reset will erase all data on the device.

I lost my old palm tungsten (about 5-6 years old. All the information is backed up on my laptop. Is there a new Palm I can buy that will do a sync with my computer?

Post relates to: Tungsten E

Sorry for your loss. But it's awesome that your stuff was backed up. Yay!
Yes, any handheld/smartphones that uses "Palm OS" (key term) should sync just like your old Tungsten. Palm no longer sells Palm OS handhelds/smartphones as new, but you can usually pick one up on eBay or Amazon as a used item.
In order from newest to oldest:
Palm TX
Palm Tungsten T5
Palm Tungsten T3
Centro is Palm's last smartphone which does everything a Palm OS handheld does, and you don't have to have a wireless service attached to it so you can essentially use it as a handheld.
The Lifedrive is a pretty good workhorse - chunkier and older than the others but I always liked it. Nice big screen.
For example:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0009JMT38/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000BI7NHY/ref=sr_1_12_olp?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1279132491&sr=1-1...
Keep in mind these products are no longer manufactured, so when your "new" used device needs to be upgraded/replaced, you'll need to start looking at webOS phones, Windows Mobile phones/handhelds, or Android products. None of these sync the same way as the old Palm OS devices. Some of your stuff might not port over.
webOS is the next generation of Palm, so I'm suggesting that option when the time comes. Palm has an app that migrates Calendar, Contacts and Tasks from Palm Desktop to webOS, which is quite convenient. In fact, you could get a webOS phone now, and move your Palm Desktop stuff over to it today - no need to go through a new/used Palm OS intermediary device.

Sharing Internet with Palm Tungsten T3 via Bluetooth - possible still?

Ok...I know I'm using legacy technology with the Palm Tungsten T3 and it seems that all discussions online that I've found are out of date. Even Missing Sync's Internet Sharing product is discontinued. But I'm running 10.5 on my MacBook Pro...so I would have thought that sharing via Bluetooth PAN would work.
But could be that Bluetooth PAN is something too new for the T3 to handle. So then am I back to using Terminal to run a separate PPP server for the T3? If that's the case...I guess I can try these instructions from 2003 and 2002:

Syncing Palm Tungsten E2 With MacBook Air

Hello, I have owned a Palm Tungsten E2 since 2005. I was able to install the Desktop software on windows XP and sync the device with my Windows XP laptop since 2005. I recently purchased a MAcBook Air and installed the Desktop Software from the CD I purchased in 2005 (it has a Mac version). It appeared to install OK but when I pressed the sync button on the device nothing happened. I would appreciate any help on this issue. Many thanks,

Hi and welcome to the HP Support Community.
Unfortunately, I don't think you have any current options to sync with your new Mac. Palm Desktop 4.2 ceased Mac compatibility with 10.6 Snow Leopard. The only alternative used to be a third party app called Missing Sync. However, it was incompatible with Mac X 10.9 going forward. Also, it has been discontined as of 12/31/14.

Palm Tungsten batteries

Two Questions
1/ I just got a palm tungsten on eBay. The battery charges OK but tends to loss power very quickly. Palm was on for about half an hour while I was checking things out and about 1/3 power was already gone. It had been on charge for over 7 hours and looked fully charged. Should I buy a new battery and can I install it myself. I saw something in the manual stating that there are no serviceable parts and one should not remove the back.
2/ I have noticed that every time I do a hot sync I am prompted to reset the palm (I think that was the term used) I then get a screen where the calendar has been reset to the first of the year 2003, the time is 12 and I have to reset them. Is there anyway to avoid this?

1) The battery is not very easily removed, e.g. glued or taped to the main board or panel. You can replace it yourself, though some are more easily removed than others, and you probably will need a special screwdriver.
2) After every reset, a couple handhelds I have owned reset their date and time, though it is very annoying, it will go away eventually.

What is best solution for using a Palm Tungsten 2 on a Windows 7 computer?

Driven by the end of XP, I purchased an HP Z230 Workstation running Windows 7 Professional.   I'd like to get my Palm Tungsten 2 working, and I've heard several options here on doing that.
OPTIONS
A. Use Palm Desktop 6.2 with Bluetooth for hotsync. (I've done this already with a Win7 laptop, but I use the Note Pad utility a lot with some macros, which unfortunately is not supported on Desktop v6.2).
B. Use Palm Desktop 4.1.4 in a virtual Windows XP environment running under Win 7. I know I can do that, and that is probably my fallback. However, Microsoft suggests that you disconnect from the Internet any time you use the Virtual XP, because it may be susceptible to hacking since they don't support XP anymore.   So that will be an added nuisance that I will probably forget to do.
C. Use the Aceeca USB driver to make Desktop 4.1.4 work.  I tried following the instructions here to do that, but when Hotsync fails, it never shows up as a yellow triangle in the device manager list, even after I followed the trick to make hidden devices visible. So I have not been able to even try the Aceeca driver with Palm 4.1.4 yet.
D. Install the Aceeca Desktop 4.1 and update to their driver. I could try this (uninstall Palm 4.1.4 and install Aceeca 4.1) but it looks like it depends on the same process to update the driver as my option C just above. So I'm thinking I may run into the same roadblock as C.
Questions:
Does anyone have any other ideas of how to get the Aceeca driver hooked up to Palm Desktop 4.1.4 that I could try?
Does anyone know if Aceeca Desktop supports the Note Pad facility if I try option D?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Terry
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Palm Blue,
Thanks for weighing in!
Here is what I know so far.   I use the Palm Desktop 4.1 on my Win XP computer, and have no problems syncing my Tungsten T2 with USB Hotsyncs.
I've also successfully hotsynced the T2 to a Win7 Pro laptop computer using Palm Desktop 6.2. and Bluetooth.
My goal, which sounds like you have already accomplished, is to install Palm Desktop 4.1.4 on my new Win7 Pro desktop, so that I can sync with the T2 and get the Note Pad functionality also.   This is like my "OPTION C."
Did you have to use the Aceeca driver to make this work on your computer, or were you able to do it with the Palm driver? One other person reported elsewhere having gotten 4.1.4 working on a 64 bit Win7 installation, and he made no mention of the Aceeca driver.  I have not been able to contact him.
In response to your question about what I see when I try to sync:
Palm 4.1.4 is installed on the Win7 Pro desktop, and the hotsync icon is present.
When I try to sync, I hear the characteristic tone indicating that a USB device is recognized. But I also get a message that pops up near it with the yellow triangle and the following text:
"USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED"
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has
malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.
For assistance in solving this problem, click this
message."
If I click the message, I get popup window that says,
One of the devices attached to this comptuer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it."
It then shows a list of the USB devices inside of one of the USB Root Hubs, and one of them has a different icon and a question mark in that icon (not a yellow triangle). And its description is in bold and it says "Unknown USB Device."
I also looked at the Device Manager during a hotsync to see if it shows a Palm device or an Other category.   Using my XP computer first with the Tungsten T2, and which also syncs okay, it is true that during the Hotsync, the Device Manager adds a device "Palm OS Handheld Device / Palm Handheld," that goes away as soon as the hotsync is complete.
Using the same Palm Tungsten 2, when I attempt the Hotsync in the Win7Pro computer, "Palm OS Handheld Device/Palm Handheld"  does NOT appear in the Device Manager (nor anything else like it).
So for some reason, my computer does not have seem to have enough of the Palm Desktop/Hotsync installation complete that I can get to the point of either it working, or where I could try to install the Aceeca driver.
I keep trying things to get it to work, but so far now luck. Looking for more ideas to try.

Can't find palm tungsten isync hotsync conduit in leopard

Attempting to sync my Palm Tungsten E2 with iCal & Address Book by USB but iSync can't set up when I attempt to Enable Palm Syncing. iSync Hotsync Conduit does not install and is not found on searching with Spotlight. Palm Hotsync works fine. Where is my software not configured properly?

Problem solved. I was logged into a User Account that did not have permissions to move the conduits to a new folder 'iSync Disabled Conduits'. Logging into the System Manager Account enabled this process to proceed and reverting back to the sub-account the configuring for Enable Palm Syncing process now completed.

Importing contacts, calendar, etc from Palm Tungsten E2 to iphone 6

Does anyone know how to import the contacts, calendar, to do list, etc from a Palm Tungsten E2 into an iPhone 6?

Thank you for the information. I tried to sync through outlook as the instructions said but had problems with installing outlook on the XP machine, had problems with the Palm software on my Windows 7 machine, etc. Spent lots of hours trying to get this to work but I think most of the problems were due to issues with my 2 different computers. Finally found out about CompanionLink. Installed that software on my XP machine since that is where my Palm Desktop resides. Had to add the app DejaOffice on my I-Phone. Synced the 2 together and everything was transferred onto my phone in the Dejaoffice app. All calendar and contact information was also synced into the I-phone calendar and contact list. The only thing I will have to copy and paste are the reminders and other notes into the phone reminders and notes and then I should be able to delete the DejaOffice app. The companionlink software is usually 49.95 to purchase but you can download a trial version for 14 days which works just fine. It took a total of about 25 minutes to download and sync my Palm and phone and I had previously spent at least 8 hours trying to get things to work. So frustrating. But thank you for at least offering some help.

Unable to Install Universal Wireless Keyboard with the CD that came with the Palm Tungsten E2 on my Windows Vista OS. Can some help? Would Appreciate it very much.

I recently bought a Palm Tungsten E2. I have been unable to install the Universal Wireless Keyboard software that came with the E2. Went online and downloaded the version 1.13 UWK and that would not install either. What did I do wrong?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

For Vista that version will not let you install programs. Good news though is we have a version you can. Go here, http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html and install this on top of the version you already have. There is going to be a few changes on the desktop, there is no quick install, but the install tool.
Once you have that done just double click on keyboard and it will ask you your hotsync name and sync and your done.
Oh as a side note the check if this is your solution is only if the answer solves your original question.
Message back if you have more question or need more help

Palm Tungsten - Screen Digitizer

I have a Palm Tungsten PDA. I have not used it in three years. Recently I charged the battery and tried to operate it. It asks me to tap a bullseye circle to set the screen digitizer. It will not accept a tap anywhere on the screen. The reset button also does not work. How can I get beyond this and to some old contacts stored inside?

There is a multi-page thread "stickied" at the top of this board which covers pretty much every cause and fix of digitizer issues:
