Palm TX won't connect to computer via WiFi for Hotsync

I've tried the network Hotsync on all my computers, XP, Vista 32 and Vista 64 (which started the whole attempt) and the device fails to connect to the computer, even when I put in the IP address.
My wireless network sees the Palm and I am able to access the Internet through it, but it won't connect to my computers. Any suggestions?

Here's my Wifi Hotsync help file:
Wifi HotSync with a TX
1. On your PC, locate the HotSync Manager (little HotSync icon in the lower right tool tray on a Winbox). Click on it and check off "Network", then click again and select Setup.
2. Pick the Network tab up top in the window that opens, and find your HotSync name in the list. Make sure it's checked.
3. Tap the TCP/IP button, and look at the IP address listed for "Primary PC Address". Write it down.
4. Turn on Wifi on your Palm and connect to your router.
5. On your Palm, select the HotSync program and tap the word "Network" above the HotSync icon in the middle of the screen. Below it, enter the IP address you wrote down in step 3. (Include the periods!).
6. Tap the big HotSync icon above the IP address, and hold on!
7. If you're holding on, and nothing happens try a wired HotSync, then try the Wifi HotSync again. Sometimes, information has to transfer from your PC after you check off the Network option. Also, be sure to watch for any Firewall activity asking you about "HotSync.exe is trying to access your hard drive" etc. You may need to set a rule to allow it.
On your TX, check these settings from the pull-down menu in Hotsync:
Modem Sync: Network
LanSync: :LANSync
Network Setup: (Wifi should be listed as one of the networks)

IPod 4G screen is white, Won't connect to computer, wasn't restoring or in dfu. How to fix?

iPod 4G screen is white, won't connect to computer(Even though it's plugged in) no restoring was in process at the minute, and won't react to anything(Including turning on/off, no DFU, no Restoring, Home and power button aren't doing anything) How do I fix it?
Today, I was "screwing around" with an iron. When I pryed it open, (I'm guessing it must've hit my iPod 4G on the ironing board, I know, stupid decision) Next thing I knew, my iPod screen was white, or turning white, from an app I was in. I started freaking out because it wouldn't turn off or on. The sliding thing didn't even appear. I tried doing the "hold home and power button for ___ seconds" which didn't do anything, I tried plugging it into the computer, but the computer couldn't even tell it was plugged in. No restore or anything. It's currently white while I'm typing this... It's been about maybe a hour since it's been white. Any help or suggestions please? I'm not looking forward to taking it apart because recently I got the iPod fixed from when I had accidently shut it into the car door when it was in the pocket of my cardigan, which got caught in the door.
The back has a big diagnol dent across it, and I'm at a young age and not very experienced with this field, so I'm not opening anything. Again, this would reeeaaalllly help if anyone could help me with this issue! Thanks!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Palm centro won't ring

For some reason my new palm centro won't ring, show any missed calls, or let me check my voicemail at home, even though it shows all bars and appears to have network service. I can, however, do all of these things in other locations.
I was on the phone w/ tech support for 45 minutes trying to get to the bottom of it and they said I should consider having it replaced where I bought it. But I've been reading online complaints from others who have gotten replacement phones and are having the same problems so I don't want to replace it if that won't address the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
ross

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.

As I understand your situation, the phone works correctly (it rings, shows missed calls, and lets you check voice mail, etc.) in locations other than your home. When you get home, these things no longer work?
Are you able to make any outgoing calls from your home?

Ipod touch won't connect to computer at all.

I got a new generation iPod touch for christmas. Updated the iTunes and all that jazz and it worked fine. I probably only plugged it in about 3 times or so because I have a dock that can charge it. (I haven't plugged it into the computer since I put it on the dock so maybe that has something to do with it?)But today I plugged it in and it won't connect to the computer at all. The computer recognizes it because when I plug it in that pop up comes up that says "this device can perform faster if you connect to it a Hi-Speed USB port" but it won't charge or connect to iTunes. But, my other ipod will connect and open iTunes with no problem.
Any ideas? I don't know what else to do and nothing on the support pages fixes my problems so I really need you guys.

nope. i thought about trying to restore it but i'm afraid i'm going to be stuck with a 300 dollar ipod with nothing on it. and i think it's completely stupid that you have to pay for support because i was looking for a number to call but my parents didn't get any coverage when they bought it for me. i don't know if you have it but if you do, try calling and please please pleaseeee let me know. you'd be my savior. haha.

Palm TX won't connect to new Windows 7 laptop

I've been trying to get my TX to connect to a new Toshiba laptop. I first tried to hotsync via USB and discovered on this forum why that wouldn't work - no 64-bit USB driver, apparently. I read as much as I could find here, and tried everything I could, and I think I'm close to a solution, but I'm stuck.
I set up an ad-hoc network on the laptop and connected to it in the laptop's control panel>network and sharing center>connect to a network. It shows the ad-hoc network as connected, "waiting for users." When I scan for networks in the TX, it finds the ad hoc network, but won't connect to it.
In a Palm.com support link I found here, it said that I can't sync via wifi until I have synced via cable, which of course I can't do. Is that my problem? I'm thinking it's not; at least, not yet. I need to establish the connection before I can attempt a wifi hotsync.
Toshiba M505, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4MB RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Palm Desktop by Access v6.2.2, Hotsync v7.0.2
Palm TX, Palm OS Garnet v5.4.9, Network Hotsync v4.0
Thanks in advance for any help I get...

Before we go on, I would suggest using the free "NVBackup" to make a perfect compressed copy of your TX placed on your SD card. This will insure no data loss. If you're already using it, Great! If not, you can find it here: NVBackup
Ok, let's review. You are trying to sync via Wifi to your new Win7 laptop, correct? And you have successfully installed Palm Desktop by Access version 6.2.2.
You've been following my guide from the "How to sync a TX to Vista64 via Wifi" thread.
The laptop is connected wirelessly to your router and can go online. You've made the necessary setting changes in the Hotsync Manager (to make it use a "Network TCP/IP" connection). HotSync Manager is present and running and has been allowed through the Firewall(s). You've determined the exact IP address of the laptop by either using the DOS command "ipconfig /all" or by viewing the active connections list in your router's status pages, and entered the numbers correctly on the TX.
On your TX, you've opened the HotSync icon, and checked the pull-down menu: Modem Sync prefs is set to "Network" and LANSync Prefs is set to "LANSync" (not Local Hotsync).
The TX has Wifi turned on, and is connected to your network. Pressing the HotSync button on the TX's screen should initiate a connection to the laptop.
One glitch I ran into the other night. Recently, I changed the encryption scheme on my router to WPA2 (AES) to gain speed with my /n laptop. The TX can handle this since I installed the paid Wifi update on it. It did begin to have problems completing a Wifi HotSync! The laptop started the HotSync fine, but it ended before completion each time. (The $6 update is not necessary to sync via Wifi. Things worked well previously).
My solution? Hard-wire into the router with a LAN cable. I turned off the Wifi on the laptop via the switch, cabled into the router and found my new IP address. I entered it into the TX and away we Synced!
If you still have problems, it might require reinstalling Palm Desktop with all the precautions in place -- Admin prviledges, Anti Virus software turned off during the install, etc. See if you can sync with the desktop before importing your data.
I know this method works, and several other users have chimed in on the sticky thread that Win7 works this way too!

Palm Centro Won't Power On

Alright, so I've had my palm Centro for almost a year now and have run into the infamous Hotsync Loop problem once before. I did a soft reset and it fixed the problem. Now it has happened again and the phone will not respond to soft or hard resets at all. Yes, it was charged and the light turns on when it is charging. No, there was no water damage or 3rd party application installation.
It seems to me that the problem has no real solution other than replacement, and I have no intention of getting another Centro.
My only question is whether I'll be able to salvage my contacts and transfer them to another phone. Verizon is my carrier and I have never Hotsynced the phone to my computer so it is not backed up.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

The only thing left to try is cleaning the connector on the bottom of the Centro. Is there any green corrosion on the connector?
Take out the battery and wait for at least 1 minute to allow the Centro to power off completely.
Take a soft lint free cloth and dampen with alcohol. Clean the connector. Wait for the alcohol to dry and then power on the Centro to see if it will stop hotsync looping.
If you never hotsync to the PC you can use a program called NVbackup to backup your device to an SD card. Do a google search for the program, it is free.
If the Centro will not stop hotsync looping, unfortunately there is no way to recover the data on the Centro.
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.

SSR, thanks a lot. I apologize for burdoning you with such a simple problem. I lost my old HD and eventually just replaced the computer. When I downloaded MediaSource to get it back up and running, I didn't realize it needed a plugin for the Zen Touch. Thanks, it's working now.
Glad to hear it.
One last question thoug: now that I'm pack up and running, how can I get all of the music on the zen to sync to the new computer? It's telling me that a vast majority of my mp3s are protected. Probably because they mostly came off of old CDs I had. Is there a way to sync the protected tracks to the PC or will I need to put them on the PC straight from eac CD again?
MP3s can't be protected, except for the tracks Creative preload on the player. Are you sure they're not WMA files?
Either way protected files cannot be copied off the player.

IPhone 4 Won't connect to computer

My iPhone 4 (ATT) running 4.3.2 has been working fine, it charges with the wall charger and cable just fine, then when I take the charger cable and bring it to my computer to update all my apps, I plug it into a USB (direct to computer, not via hub) and the iPhone doesn't show up on the computer, not even just to access my photos it doesn't show up at all.
I've tried restarting my computer twice, restarting the phone twice, using different USB ports but nothing seems to work, my iPhone won't connect to a computer for some reason...
Any suggestions?

I too am experiencing this issue and have had no luck. I've cycled off both PC (windows7) and iPhone, disabling firewalls, and rebooting with device connected. I get a glimmer of hope with rebooting PC with iPhone connected because iPhone starts drawing power upon startup but iPhone still doesn't appear in device manager. If at that point iPhone is disconnected and reconnected it will not even draw power.
PLEASE HELP!!! Dying to upgrade from iOS 4.3.2 to 5!

IPhone won't connect to computer! Error!

So my dad wanted his iPhone updated to 2.0 yesterday, so he asked me to do it on my computer. His laptop wasn't around, so I plugged it into my computer, updated it and gave it back.
Then today he came to me, saying his phone won't connect to HIS computer anymore.
I've tried plugging it in and all that happens is a box that says "camera now connected... open with...." but none of them are iTunes, and it won't connect the phone.
Please help, any respond would be greatly appreciated!

In all honesty, he leaves for a business trip in about an hour and needs his phone to connect.
Can anyone help? Sorry for such short notice

Palm TX won't connect to WRT300N

I have a Palm TX and a WRT300N. The palm will not connect unless the router is set B only. It connect immediately on B only, but will not connect on B/G mixed or B/G/N mixed. I know it's not the Palm, becuase I can connect to other G routers, and all my computers can connect fine to the router in N, G or B mode, so I don;t think the router is broken. I've tried it will WPA, WEP and no security. It always connect using B and never otherwise.

Changing the channel did not work (I had tried that). It works on all channels when set to B only, and never when set to any mixed modes.

Palm Centro, won't send/recieve text messages or let me go onto the web or messangers

Please help me?

Have you tried a Soft Reset? It's the first thing to do with any Palm "hiccup"... Pull the battery, wait 10 seconds, and replace.
