Palm Centro Bluetooth Sync with Vista 64bit

I just got a Palm Centro and was able to go all the way through configuring both the Palm Centro and the PC to see each other. I created a virtual COM port (COM5) and selected that port as my Serial Connection.
That is when it stops working. Pressing the HotSync button on the Centro gives me the following error...
Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application.
This port was just created, how can it be in use?
Thanks, John

Did you check bluetooth under connections in Hotsync Manager on the PC? Right click the hotsync icon and goto settings, then connections. Is bluetooth there and checked? If not do so.
Next delete the bluetooth connection on the device and try to recreate it. You shouldn't need to create the virtual port on a vista system. That step was for older versions of windows that didn't do that automaticaly.

Do you have windows mobile device center installed(WMDC)? If not download it from here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
Be sure you download the correct version for your PC. If you have 32bit OS or 64bit OS. To find this out, right click on Computer under start and select properties. Near the middle it should say 32bit or 64bit. If you know you have the correct software. Open up the control panel and go to sync settings. Right click on the partnership you have setup and select delete. On your device go to Start-->Programs-->Activesync-->Menu-->Options tap on Windows PC and select Delete. Then once both are done resetup your partnership. But this time uncheck everything. Then once it is done syncing. Go to Mobile device settings and change content sync settings and select Contact. Click save and let it sync. Do the same for calendar, tasks, and notes but leave the last item checked. So when Contacts are done syncing you go and check Calendar and leave Contacts

I've been using Windows 7 64bit with Vista 64bit drivers. Driver upgrade?

I have been using Windows 7 pro 64 on my intel iMac (supported under new bootcamp conditions) with Vista 64bit drivers. I used the following command to pull the drivers off my snow leopard disk:
D:
cd “Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple”
msiexec /i BootCamp64.msi
This has been working fine although I am running into problems as alot of applications think I am actually running Vista 64. I now want to use the official Windows 7 drivers. I cannot install bootcamp 3.1. I run it, restart as prompted and still end with 3.0 and apple update telling me to upgrade to 3.1.
Will I be able to simply upgrade my drivers if I get bc 3.1 installed and why can't I do so?
Any help very much appriciated

I suspect the applications you are running aren't Windows 7 aware.
Apple's drivers are just motherboard related and don't affect Windows.
Plus, most Vista drivers are fine and you will see "Vista/7" for many like RealTek and others. You just need to be sure to use 64-bit drivers.
There are "tons" of threads on BC 3.1 and trouble installing and upgrading - whether to uninstall 2.x first and then go to 3.0 (req'd before 3.1).
I'd say 2.x as well as 3.0 are not Windows 7 compatible according to Microsoft as well as Apple's statements to that effect.

Palm Centro Media Sync

Can't get my pics on my Palm Centro to Sync to my desktop. All other data syncs work well.
Thanks

The best way is to not sync media rather use an SD card to store pictures. Less stress on you and more free memory for your device.

Why can't touch Sync with Vista Calendar same as iCal file

Why in the world can't the touch sync with vista calendar? it exports the same ics file as iCal. I'd rather not spend the absurd money for Outlook 2007 just to backup my calendar so I don't lose it in firmware updates.
Also it would be very nice to edit my calendars on my computer as well.

With Windows, iTunes can only sync files from Outlook, and nothing else.
It can only do it properly through Outlook, as iTunes is only configured to find the files in Outlook at that time, and no other program.

Bluetooth Sync with Microsoft Vista Bluetooth Laptop

I am able to pair my BB Pearl with my Vista laptop but it does not sync because Windows says I need an updated driver for the Pearl. I do not see anywhere on the BB site where I can get a new piece of software for the Pearl so that I can bluetooth sync it with my laptop using BB Desktop Manager software.
Any help?
Thanks, Scott

Go to Setup Bluetooth -> Options -> look at the items listed under Service. Can you see something like Desktop Connectivity. If yes only then you will be able to sync your device wirelessly with your desktop.
If you do not find that option then BES users contact your respective BES admin...BIS users contact with your carrier.

Documents to Go on Palm TX Syncing with Vista

I cant seem to get my documents to sync with my Palm TX. Everytime I click on the Documents To Go icon on my Vista desktop it gives me a "Runtime error" message. Help! What do I do?
Post relates to: Palm TX

Plan B (free) is to create a folder on a SD card into which you copy (via your computer's SD reader/writer or a USB addition) the files you want your device's Docs2Go to use.
Providing the installation of the Docs2Go was successful onto your TX via Vista, it'll read these and be able to edit and create new files. Granted, its not as seamless as a properly working Docs2Go as you swap files like this manually, but you regain functionality of the program on the device.
You'll also want to disable the sync to Docs2Go via Hotsync > Custom > Documents to Go > and set its default as 'Do Nothing' and promptly forget Docs2Go exists on your machine. But don't uninstall it as this may also uninstall the device's version at the next Hotsync.
Its really the sync portion of the Docs2Go that came with your TX that doesn't work in Vista - but as that's a major point of the software....
I'm not sure how long you've had your TX or how long you've been on Vista - but given Palm is still selling its 3 year old TX, one might assume it would have been a nice gesture for DataViz to ensure the product that comes on the CD actally works with current OSs, yes? Apparently not - the upgrade for a Vista / Office 2007-friendly version runs at around $30. Which seems excessive given that the PalmOs is in its death throes.
Hope Plan B works for you.

How to synch Palm Centro (Verizon Wireless) with Windows 7, 64 bit??????

You cannot natively sync a PalmOS device with a 64bit OS via USB - the solution is to do it wirelessly.

Sync with Vista

I just purchased a new laptop and noticed it comes with Vista. On Vista they have Windows Contacts and Windows Calendar. Can I sync my Palm Centro (PalmOS) with those two programs instead of downloading the Palm Desktop?

Palm Centro Calendar Sync

Downloaded new update for controlled up on 2 calendar.Nothing helped.Uninstalled.Where can I get an old version and will it load my dataviz document handler,colored calendar and stuff? Help !!! I used my desktop allot.
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

Ok, you will need to do a "clean" uninstall of Palm desktop and install Palm desktop 4.1.4e and try that version. That version has the color for the calendar and your docs to go should work but you may need to upgrade to a newer version.
Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding Palm Desktop 4.1.4e and HotSync Manager (Windows)
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=32991
Here are the insctuctions for the clean unionstall on Vista.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right corner of the hotsync screen. Do not sync during this process. There is a chance the data will be deleted from the device if you sync during the install.
Once you have version 6.2 uninstalled, install 4.1.4e and do not sync during the install. After you complete the install of 4.1.4e, set the conduits in hotsync manager to handheld overwrites desktop. This will perform a sync one-way to the PC from the handheld.
Once you have the data in Palm desktop, use the export function in Palm desktop. Here is a procedure for exporting your data.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

Windows Mobile and syncing with Vista

I just recently bought a new laptop (within the last week) with Vista as the operating system. I also use Outlook 2007. When I hook my phone up by the usb cable sometimes the computer acknowledges my phone and sometimes not. However, when it does acknowledge it, it does not give me the option to set it up, only an option to sync music, photos and tv. All I want to do is to sync to Outlook.
You can probably tell from my message that I am not very tech savvy but if someone can tell me what to do I can do it! I have read the help menu in Vista backward and forward but still have no idea how to get my phone to sync. Someone please help me before I lose my mind! Is there anything that I have to download to be able to sync? I realize that activesync no longer is needed on Vista but I am unable to tell whether I have to download the Windows Mobility Device Center or if it is already in Vista. I cannot find anything that looks like the WMDC is supposed to look like on my computer and like I said, I am not offered the option of setting up my device.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Alltel)

Ok one way to make sure and see if WMDC is install is to go into your control panel and open the programs and features. And look for the windows mobile device center. If it is listed then it is installed if not (which I think is the case) then you would need to go to here to install it http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
once installed you should get the setup option.
Let me know if any of this does not work

6280 goes white screen when I sync with Vista

Hi all,
My 6280 goes white screen and reboot when I sync after a 350 items uploaded to my laptop under Vista Premium Family Edition. I've got this problem either connected through the cable or bluetooth.
I use the latest version of PC Suite, but I do not have upgraded my 6280.
If someone can help me, thanks by advance.
(and of course, it worked perfectly with my old desktop computer under XP ...).
Richard.

I mean to sync with the syncronisation feature (inside the PC Suite menu) to an Outlook 2002, under Windows Vista.
Anyway, I solved my problem : I had a corrupted record in my phone's contacts (the phone was always rebooting on the same record number, when I tried to export data). I have deleted all the phone's contact records and then reloaded them from Outlook, and now everything works just fine.
Backup, backup, always backup ...
The question is : how could I have corrupt a record in my phone's contact ?
Thank you for answering me ;-)
Richard.

Palm Centro/Outlook Sync

Hi,
I have a Verizon Palm Centro, about 2 years old. When I sync using the USB cable, I continually get the message that all databases have synced correctly. However, nothing changes in either my phone or the Outlook on my PC (Windows XP, Outlook 2007).
This all used to work until a few months ago I started getting messages that one of my databases was not syncing (forget which one it was). This happened shortly after I added ACT! software to my PC, which operates off of Outlook. I called Verizon tech support and was stepped through a "fix". After the fix, I was no longer getting error messages, however I now realize that no syncing was actually taking place, at least not with Outlook. (BTW, I am willing to uninstall ACT! if that will help).
I need to get this fixed, and have had little luck in getting through on the phone to a Verizon tech support person.
Please help, and thanks.

Palm Treo 700wx sync with Palm Desktop

Newbie here, so please excuse if this is already in here somewhere! I've been using Palm Desktop (v4.0.1) syncing with a Sony handheld device (Clie). The Clie died, and I purchased a used Palm Treo 700wx (Sprint) for both cell phone use and as a PDA. Darn if I can find anywhere how to sync the Palm Desktop with the Treo 700wx. Am I missing something somewhere?
Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Sprint)

Hello melemiller and welcome to the Palm forums.
The Treo 700wx, running the Windows Mobile operating system, can only sync to Microsoft Outlook. You will need export the data out of the Sony edition of Palm Desktop and import it into Outlook and then install the Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 software on your computer to sync the Treo to Outlook. If you are using Windows Vista, you need to use the Windows Mobile Device Center that is included as part of Vista to sync with Outlook.
