Palm Centro - Vista - Hot Sync Problem

Hello: I have a Palm Centro (Verizon) and am having major issues hot synching to my new Windows Vista (32 bit) home PC. I continually get the following error message:
"Error: SgConflictNotifier.dll failed a confirmation query and cancelled the sync operation."
"HotSync Error: An application canceled synchronization or failed to respond to a HotSync notification. Please ensure that you are not currently editing data using applications such as Palm OS Desktop or Install Tool (8009)."
I am running Hot Sync Manager 7.0.2 and Palm desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2.
When I tried the Hot Sync operation on my old XP computer, no issues whatsoever. Can anyone help?
Thanks

I am having the same issue as are several people on this board. I have attempted to reinstall the application and reset my Treo but still nothing. I would be interested if there is a fix I am missing.

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. So if I am understanding you when you try to sync it goes to calendar and freezes and never completes the sync. That being the case the first thing you want to do is go to the conduits and turn off calendar then sync and all should be successful, except calendar will not sync. What this indicates is that you have corrupted data in your calendar, most likely on the E2. Do a google search on your computer for a utility 'dbfixit' and download it to your computer. Extract it so you have the dbfixit.prc file and double click on it to put it in the installer. Then, insuring the calendar conduit is off, sync to install it. Once installed run dbfixit. This utility is free or can be purchased for (I believe) 12.95. The free version will search for corruption and problems let you know where they are and you will have to manually fix or delete them. If you register it, when you run the utility it will find the errors and fix them as well. Once all errors are fixed, turn the calendar conduit back on and you should be able to sync.

Windows XP Hot Sync Problem

OK, I went to the Hot Sync problem thread (Start here) and didn't really find anything that might help me with what I've experienced. Last week I did a Hot Sync as normal but with this particular sync I received a message that there was an error and to look at my sync log. I went to the log and the following message appeared:
-- Calendar
- Some handheld records were not copied to your PC. Your computer may be full or you may have reached the maximum allowed records on the desktop. To correct this situation, delete some records and perform a HotSync operation again.
Desktop = 7099, Handheld = 7081
The only problem with this message was that when I went to delete some records ALL my calendar items had been deleted! Another sync didn't fix the problem.
Based on a prior problem with my address book, I decided to upgrade to the newer Hot Sync (6.x) which didn't fix the problem.
Both my datebook .DAT and .BAK files are at 1,682KB...so I'm wondering if they are really empty?
So, I'm looking for help in trying to restore my datebook data as there are important items from the last three months that I've lost.
Any ideas?

Please excuse this new account name...I'm having an account(s) problem...but this is still that same person with the original problem...
This was the very first Hot Sync log message between my T/X Palm and my laptop (Compaq). [Shown just below these words.] What I don’t understand about this is why there isn’t a warning message if my computer datebook.dat file is running out of space. My hard disk is far from running out of space. However, after all the potential advice and various activities I’ve done, I suspect this wasn’t the problem at all.
-- Calendar
- Some handheld records were not copied to your PC. Your computer may be full or you may have reached the maximum allowed records on the desktop. To correct this situation, delete some records and perform a HotSync operation again.
Desktop = 7099, Handheld = 7081
After this I did an upgrade of my desktop software from v4.x to v6.x (Access) which had no effect on the problem.
I also installed the DbFixIt software and it found lots of errors and corrected them. As a matter of fact I’ve run it a few times after trying unsuccessful Hot Sync’s and after each I’ve had more errors to fix.
Now this error occurred in mid January (I don’t remember the exact date.) So even if my laptop data space was full I had another possibility in that I also have a desk/tower computer that I hadn’t sync’d with since September 08. See below the line…
OK, so after getting the DbFixIt software advice and running it, I decided to see about restoring Date data via my older desktop computer. So after “fixing” the datedata DB, I set the Hot Sync on my tower unit for the DESKTOP to overwrite the handheld. After which I got this message below:
HotSync session started on 01/22/09 15:40:02, and completed in 154.0 seconds
Date Book synchronization aborted
Duration: 43.6 seconds
Could not read the next handheld record.
Please check your connections and try again.
Some handheld records were not copied to your PC. Your computer may be full or you may have reached the maximum allowed records on the desktop. To correct this situation, delete some records and perform a HotSync operation again.
Desktop = 6910, Handheld = 7099
And guess what! It still blew away my old desktop data just like it did on the laptop! I have a very hard time understanding why this happened given what I selected for updating.
OK, so now I’m resigned to the fact that I’ve lost all my date data, some of which was very important. Unfortunately I established backups just around this time and none of the backups have the correct data that I know of. I have backed up the data files to a USB hard disk and I’ve also subscribed to Carbonite which is backing up my data as well. Would you say that this is good enough?
What I want to do now is determine if my handheld has a hardware problem or not because I don’t want to loose my address DB data as that’s even more critically important than the date data. So if you have further suggestions on how to ensure the proper and correct operation of the handheld, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks,

Will a Palm Centro or Blackberry sync with iCal?

Will a Palm Centro or Blackberry sync with iCal?

Greetings,
Yes on both but you would need software to do the sync for you.
If you are running Mac OS X 10.6.x, Palm is no longer updating their sync software (http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/centro/centro/unlocked/solutions/article/332 19_en.html). You would need a sync solution like: http://www.markspace.com/
Blackberry has their own sync software which you can get from them.

Palm Z22 old version-sync problems. Won't stop.

Have old Palm Z22. Downloaded new software and now can't sync. It starts, won't stop or close. Must shut off computer to stop it! Tried to uninstall new program, loaded old one from CD and still have the problem. Palm works fine but can't sync , so whats the point. Please Help.
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Firstly, you do not have to shut down your computer to end the hot sync. Click Ctrl +Alt + Delete on your computer to bring up the task manager. Click on Hot Sync and click "end task" and then "end now" to the message that comes up on the computer screen to end the hot sync.
Then, restart the hot sync manager by clicking on Start > Programs/All Programs > Palm One/Palm Desktop > Hot Sync Manager. You will then see the hot sync icon (circle with red and blue arrows) on the bottom right of your computer screen right near where the time is displayed.
Do you use the calendar on your palm at all? Is there any info there that needs to be sync'd to your computer?

Palm Centro won't sync Contacts with Desktop

It seems that a few people have had this problem, and I haven't really seen it answered yet. When I enter new contacts in Palm Desktop, they do not get sync'ed to my Centro. The log will just look like this:
HotSync session completed successfully on 07/25/08 21:47:35
HotSync session started on 07/25/08 21:47:32, and completed in 3.0 seconds
To Do List synchronized successfully
Duration: 0.4 seconds
Memo Pad synchronized successfully
Duration: 0.4 seconds
Media synchronized successfully
Duration: 1.6 seconds
In other words, Address Book does not even show up here. I deleted my Hotsync ID on the Centro and changed it in Desktop, and that seemed to sync everything back up again. But the problem still exists when I try to add a new contact. (I also did a hard reset, and then everything sync'ed over as well... and now I'm back to ground zero.)O Adding a new contact on the Palm likewise does not sync back to the Desktop.
I have checked the conduits on both the Palm and in HotSync manager 1000 times, and they are set to synchronize properly.
I do not use Exchange, although I did unsuccessfully try to set it up once with my work e-mail (never actually worked, and I've since deleted the VersaMail account). I noticed this problem after the recent firmware update, but that's not to say that it's the culprit.
Any help or insight would be most appreciated!

Once you have successfully synced to an exchange server the only way to completely remove it from the device is a hard reset, one thing you might want to try is a program called NVbackup, back your device hard reset and then do a selective restore and sync back just your contacts, this should then completely remove the exchange account and help you keep your contacts, you may want to manually jot down your contacts just in case though.

Hot Sync problem w/Tungston T/X

OK, I've looked through some of the notes about Sync problems but I haven't seen anything exactly like what I experienced.
This past Monday I added some items to my calendar and proceeded to do a Hot Sync. The process completed and stated that there was a problem and to check the Sync Log. The following was in the Sync Log:
-- Calendar
- Some handheld records were not copied to your PC. Your computer may be full or you may have reached the maximum allowed records on the desktop. To correct this situation, delete some records and perform a HotSync operation again.
Desktop = 7099, Handheld = 7081
Well, I'm not sure how this happened but ALL the records in my calendar were deleted!!! A check of my datebook .DAT and .BAK files shows that both are at 1,682K. So they don't appear to be empty.
I think I ran into this problem over a year ago with an older PALM (but it was with my addresses) although I don't remember how it got corrected but I did have back up data on two different computers so I managed to get things back to normal.
One more point, after the 2nd Sync failed to restore the data I upgraded Hot Sync to 6.2 but that didn't help either.
Evidently there's a limit on the amount of data to be stored in the calendar (and probably the other functions). What I can't believe is that since there is a limit why doesn't the PALM software warn the user that the limit is about to be reached so problems can be avoided?
Any help in this would be appreaciated.
One more point...this situation is with my laptop running XP. I have a much older desktop that is also running XP and the PALM software (4.2) but I haven't sync'd on the desktop since September...but it's address.bak file is bigger than the one on my laptop (1,798K).

BH-Hook, thanks for the db error information. I've procured the software you recommended and it corrected a number of problems in the calendar db. There was a message from that software that said to make sure that on my next sync that the handheld should update the desktop. I remember that there was a place to select this but I can't find it now with the newer software. Does the new Hot Sync software just assume that the handheld always updates the desktop or is there some secret place to select this option. So if you see this let me know what you if the handheld always updates the desktop or is there some place to make this selection? I've looked in the help files too and found nothing about this.
Thanks.

First time hot sync problems

I've had to reinstall palm and hot sync applications for a tungsten E2 handheld. When I try to do the hot sync for the first time, it askes me for my handhelds password. When I type in what I know is the correct password, it is not accepted. I've double checked what the password is, it just won't accept it, any suggestions?

Are there any Capital Letters in the password?

Palm Centro calendar changing synced items from Outlook 2007 exchange calender

I use ActiveSync to sync my exchange server to my Centro. Everything syncs fine except for recurring calendar items. For example, I have a recurring meeting for the first weekday of each month. Outlook shows it correctly -- but my Centro shows them as the first Friday of each month. Interestingly, my Outlook does NOT show this event on the first Friday of each month.
Thoughts??

TX hotsync with Vista, Hot Sync 7.0 hangs when updating date book

Hotsync of my Palm TX, with hotsync 7.0, Windows Vista is failing. Hangs on date book, step 2 of 13. Have to kill task with task manager to recover.
Worked a few times after initial install.
Log says did not transfer all data items to desktop. Suggests increasing the limit??
Don't see a way to increase the limit on data items.
Any suggestions?

Go over to www.pimlicosoftware.com and get dbfixit, run it and see if it finds any corruption. If it does you can either manually fix them for free or purchase the program and have it fix it for you. Then try to sync again.

Palm Centro will not sync with pTunes (Sprint)

I have searched high and low for some answers but to no avail.
So here is my problem that I couldn't find answers to on pockettunes.com. I have purchased an SD card to play .mp3's on my phone and the only way I can get them to the card is by using the Desktop Installer. When I start pTunes on the phone while hooked into the USB cable it repeatedly plays the connect/disconnect sound randomly. I have no trouble at all using HotSync to backup all my address book and images but will not sync with pTunes. All my settings are correct as far as I read and I have all the latest versions of the required software. I tried to use the browser to download a ringer from the SD card and it says the file size is 0kb and will not play, but it plays fine in pTunes. So my main concern is with the pTunes sync. It just doesn't won't to acknowledg the device as being connected.
Any help is appreciated.

Check out either MusicTones or MiniTones, both free programs that work similarly. Available from freewarepalm.com.
They will scan your SD card for songs, then let you edit out a slice right on your Centro. You choose the Start and Stop locations of the "slice". When satisfied, click the "Add" button, and it will appear in your list of Ringtones.

Palm Desktop to Android syncing problems

I use Palm Desktop 6.2.2 to manage contacts on my PC.
I use Deja Office to manage contacts on my phone (an HTC EVO - android based).
I use Companion Link to sync Palm Desktop and DejaOffice.
Every three to four syncs, most of the categories and 75% of the contacts are deleted from Palm Desktop.
I have 850+ contacts, which I have had to resort in categories several times.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem or any suggestions?

8520 Windows Vista Contact Sync problem

I recently added all my contacts from windows vista contacts and for some reason it assigned picutres to people who had no picture assigned from other pictures of people in my contacts, any suggestions.
Is there a way to do a mass removal of all contacts on device?
Thanks!

I have the same problem, when I sync the contacts they pass well from outlook to my iphone, but not the way around, indeed it changes my iphone contacts information and dismisses all the inputs that I already made in the iphone.

Palm Zire 21 hot sync

Installed Palm desktop 6.2 on Windows 7 64 bit machine. Downloaded USB drivers that installed correctly per the forum. Syncing on Palm Zire 21 log says it successfully completed but the Palm desktop software has no addresses, calendar, memos or to do list. Any ideas?

The Zire may be too old for 6.2.2, but there is a patch that can work.
Go here: http://www.PimlicoSoftware.com/legacy.html and download "PalmHotsyncSetup"
When you clicked on the user in Palm Desktop, was there another listed?

BB Curve 8330 with Vista - Calendar sync problems

For some reason, not all of my calendar items will move from my device to my computer when syncing. The "non-synced" items show as green on my device calendar, as opposed to blue for the ones that have been transferred to my Outlook calendar. Has anyone run into this problem? I don't get an error message when I sync.

To be able to get a good handle on how to proceed, we need some additonal information and each of your individual info may not be the same. Don't want to confuse who is being advised to do what to resolve problems.
