Palm Desktop 4.2 - Text of color coded calendar entries are hidden for some colors

Environment:
Treo 680
Palm Desktop 4.2 running on Windows XP Pro
Color coded calendar entries have been working great since I got my phone over a year ago. When I added a new color category (bringing my total to 7 categories) I noticed that some of my calendar entries showed the color coded bar for the appointment, but the text for the entry was hidden. Nor was I able to edit the entry using Palm Desktop since any attempt to select the entry tries to create a new entry.
Thinking that I had exceeded a limit for the number of color categories I deleted the new category (so the entries were now unfiled). Now, all but one of my color categories are affected (color bar for appointment, but no text visible), including those marked with a category of "undefined".
The only color that now shows the text for calendar entries is my default category (not unfiled). This affects all of my existing calendar entries and any new ones I create, regardless of whether I create them on the Treo or using Palm Desktop.
If I press <tab> to cycle through my appointments on the page, it selects only those for my default color cateogry where the text of the entry is visible (i.e. it skips all the other appointments).
The calendar entries are all visible on my Treo, thankfully.
I have not installed any new apps or updates.
I've not been able to find anyone else reporting this problem.
My next step will be to restore my backup from last week, but I was hoping to avoid that if possible, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Pardon my ignorance, but where do I set categories to all?
Tools > Categories
Whichever category I select here becomes the default category and its entries will be visible, but all other categories will be hidden. My only other options are New, Delete, Rename and Help.
The only other configuration setting for categories that I can find is under
Tools -> Preferences
I have the checkbox "Display color-coded categories" checked
Thanks!

My Color Coded Calendar Events Are Not Shown

My Color Coded Calendar Events are not displayed on my iphone. The events sync fine but they don't have the appearance that Outlook 2003 has. Dots on a calendar don't do me much good. What am I missing?

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that I saw in the "Intro to the new iphone" thing here on the apple site that this thing displayed the Label Color of my events. But no, I just watched it again and saw that it shows the different calendars I have in different colors. I'm very bummed (at myself for misunderstanding it). This is my first ianything so I'm not very familiar with apple. Is there somewhere that I can place an enhancement request?

Palm Desktop 6.2.2 will not print calendar

I have been using the Palm Desktop software long after my Palm expired. I have been using 6.2.2 for over a year (currently on a Win 7 machine) with no problems until today. When I attempted to print monthly calendars for January and February the software printed hundreds of pages, (I let it run to a PDF printer) all of Jan and Feb. All of the monthly information showed in the first. Is this happening to anyone else, or do I need to reload my software?
Thanks,

This should resolve your issue:
Ok, first we need to see if you can sync without calendar checked. On your computer right click the hotsync icon and select settings. Click on applications. Then uncheck Datebook. Close up the menus and try to hotsync if it syncs fine good continue on.
Next we need to install a program on to your device called DBFixit (here's the link http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm) Download this file on the right side of the page. Then install the application to the device. Once on the device open it up and tap on the blue bar but in the top left select delete calendar blobs and say OK or yes. Then keep running that till you have 0 listed or no blobs found. Then we are going to hotsync with calendar syncing from the device to the PC. Again right click the hotsync icon and select settings. Click on applications and select Datebook. Click on Configure. Then select handheld overwrites desktop. Click ok or done Sync and post back if that fixed the issue.
If it did then we need to change the sync to sync the files and set that as default. To do that, again right click the the hotsync icon and select settings. Click on applications. Then recheck Datebook. You should be all set at that point.

NullPointerException in 1.4.2 for some Colors

When trying to get my app to build with 1.4.2, I noticed that I am getting a nullpointer exception when trying to get some colors from the tree, such as "Tree.selectionBorderColor". I looked in the source, and it seems that there has been a change which now maps some of these colors to other things, in this case, focusHighlightBorder. Previously, these colors were mapped to explicit colors. This happens with both the new windows and gtk lnfs.
Anyone have a fix for this issue?

I'm using 1.4 and 1.3 and most of my programs run fine, but to be on the safe side use the deprecate option with the java byte code compiler.
ie. c:\javac app.java -deprecation (win32)
./javac app.java -deprecation (Linux OS)
use the -deprecation option if you get a deprecated API warning when you compile your code, since you are using 1.4.1 API function/methods.

Palm Desktop shuts down when trying to view calendar by month

I'm using a Palm TX with the latest edition of Desktop installed (I think that's 6.2). Everything is normal except, suddenly, I cannot view my calendar in monthly view. Daily, weekly and yearly all work fine. Desktop shuts down when trying to view in monthly view. I did a system restart, a Desktop reinstallation, a download of the latest version and installation of that version and, finally, uninstallment of the existing Desktop, download of the newest version and installation of that version. Nothing seems to enable me to view the calendar in monthly view. This is a spontaneous event. I've been running Desktop on a Vista Ultimate system since February without incident. I have no idea about how to solve this.
Thanks

Well, here's where we are now. It's a good thing that I have desktop on my office computer because when I tried a Hotsynch with my home desktop, Hotsynch wiped out all the data on my handheld and then hung up both the handheld and desktop in the middle of the Hotsynch. I'm going to overwrite the entire handheld with the office desktop file. As for the home setup, I'm thinking the only thing I can do now is uninstall Palm and wipe out the entire directory of files. Am I correct about this? Do I need to do a clean uninstall?

Password Protecting Contacts and Color Coding Calendar

I just got an iPhone today and was wondering if there is a way to password protect my contacts. Either all of them or certain records so that I will be prompted for a password before seeing a record (or all records). I had a Palm Centro before this and absolutely loved that feature since I could keep all my passwords in my phone and not have to worry about anyone else accessing them since the file was password protected.
I haven't used the iCal much but is there a way to color code entries by event type (e.g. Birthday, appointment, meeting, etc.) This is another feature that my palm had that I really loved and was hoping I could duplicate it in some way on my iPhone

The answer to your first question is no. You kept your various passwords with your contacts?
Regarding iCal, you can create multiple calendars and have a different color for each. For example I have a Business and a Personal calendar with business and personal events separated. I can view all calendars combined or I can view an individual calendar by itself.
The iPhone includes a Birthdays calendar that is linked to birthday entries for your contacts in Contacts. iCal includes the same linked to birthday entries for your contacts in the Address Book. The iPhone supports syncing calendars/calendar events with iCal and contacts with the Address Book on your Mac.

Can you add fill color to outlines that are fills too? (colorizing a drawing after Live Trace)

I have a cartoon drawing that I plan to scan in and run Live Trace on to get into Illustrator. To add color to all the white areas,, generally I would create a fill the shape of the area behind the traced area and color it. With this one, I have a LOT more areas than I am use to. Is there a way to just select one of these areas and tell it to put a color in instead of creating a shape of that area in each spot? I know this sounds confusing!

Convert the Live-Traced object to a Live Paint object and fill distinct areas with the Paint Bucket tool. Check help files for more info.

Centro will not Sync with Palm Desktop

I have removed all Palm references from laptop as suggested in: Community Help Forums : Hardware & Software : Software : Re: Syncs fine -- missing all data in Desktop App with no luck.
( http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&message.id=35331&query.id=1042#M35331 )
I have a Windows Vista, downloaded Hotsync Manager 7.0.2 and all data (contacts/calendar) from Palm Centro will not appear in Palm Desktop. I have made sure that:
1. user name in Hotsync is the same as is in Palm Desktop
2. tried different user name (suggested "Test" ) with no luck
3. changed name of device through "prefs" icon (at least, in Bluetooth, Device Name is "Palm Centro") I am unable to find another option to change the name of the device for syncing purposes if it is not through Bluetooth
Any other suggestions? I have made entries into te Palm Desktop calendar, do a Hotsync and the entries from the Palm Desktop entries are not appearing into the Palm Centro, and the Centro's contacts and calendar entries are not showing up in the Palm Desktop.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreaciated!

Do you have the Centro set to sync with Microsoft Outlook by mistake? Look in Outlook and see if your info is there.
If it is, you can run a simple program in your Start/All programs/Palm/PIM Conduit Sync/Sync with Palm Desktop to switch it back.

Palm Desktop 4, W7 drivers & HotSynch working. Also, Desktop Text Size Increase.

Hope this is of use to anyone wishing to continue using their Palm M515 (or similar).
I am using the M515 with Windows 7 and have the HotSynch working fine.
A) W7 Drivers
- Download & Install "ACEECA Handheld Device Drivers" from "Access, Inc." OR "ACEECA International Limited"
http://aceeca.com/index.php?option=com_maqmahelpdesk&Itemid=5&id_workgroup=1&task=downloads_product&...
   my driver dates: 4/4/2011 (if you cannot find the drivers, or they are removed, email me at   [Personal Information Removed]
- Ignore the W7 error messages during Install.
- Device Manager will report "This device cannot start. (Code 10)", but it will work perfectly.
- The "device" will most likely appear as something like: "PCI bus 4, device 0, function 0"
B) Palm Desktop 4 software - increase Font Size for better viewing
Font Size from Desktop 4.1 to 4.1.4 is Too Small--can it be changed. [ Edited ]
Options
03-08-2010 03:05 PM - last edited on 03-08-2010 09:51 PM
Using "regedit" I was able to change the font size larger for use with the Palm Desktop software.
Run "regedit" and export (save) a backup copy for safety
    File > Export
Search for "FontSmall"
    Edit > Find > Find what > FontSmall
Click on FontSizeGeneral and change the "Value data" to 16
Exit "regedit"
Run Palm Desktop software and enjoy the new legible font size!
Notes:
1) The location of the Palm Desktop software on my system using "regedit" is:
        HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core
        * Your location of the Palm Desktop software may differ.
2) I tested this on monitors using resolutions of 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768
        The font size is noticeably readable and much, much better
3) You may also change the font family from the default (Arial) to another, such as Verdana, etc.
        FontCard    (Changes the font family in the side panels)
        FontGeneral    (Changes the font family for most of the program fonts)
4) Operating System: Windows XP Pro
        Palm Desktop v4.1.4
C) HotSynch Configuration
- suggest you disable most of the sysnch options.
- for 1st synch op., enable by default "Synchronize both ways". The Palm Desktop should prompt for username. Make sure you use the existing "user", ex "Paul" at the "input new user" prompt on Palm Desktop during the 1st time HotSynch. If you get it wrong, do not panic, you will create a new user and Synch all the same. Just repeat the operation with the correct name, verify the data is synched under both users, then delete the "duplicate".
- After 1s Synch, set defaults for future Synch ops., ie. Synch Both Ways, or Handheld overwrites Desktop...et cetera. Think about how you use the Handhelp and where you generally input most fresh appointments and memos. Personally I "synchronize" both ways in order to no miss anything.
NB: The M515 are being given away in 2nd hand shops. They are cheap & easy to find & work great. I have a collection. When one breaks I Synch to the next and never lose data. Unlike various "Smartphones" which have a tendency to break after just one bump or "fall", get stolen or just die!
Long live PALM! Thank you for reliable products

Thanks for this contribution, wobbly2010!
The m515 was a great device in its time! I used to tether it to my cell phone via cable, and then place it into the Palm IR keyboard turning it into a portable "tiny terminal" as I used to refer to it. Mobile internet! What a concept...

Palm Desktop stopped working

Yesterday my PD 4.2 froze. I had tried some HotSync changes so that photos would do nothing and not sync back into the handheld and take up space. The PD froze when I was in calendar and I noted it was nearly empty. My handheld calendar remains very full. I had to use the Task Manager to get out of the program, and then I couldn't start the Desktop. After rebooting a couple times, I was able to start it, but the calendar was still empty, and as soon as I tried to use the Desktop it froze again. Unfortunately, I have misplaced my original CD to reload the program, and the website said not to download from there if PD version is 4.2. Apparently I have not lost any data except from the desktop calendar, but what can I do to get this all working properly again?
Post relates to: Palm TX

We can give you a version of Palm Desktop but it will not have the media conduit or you will lose color categories in your calendar. From what you are describing you will need to do what we call a 'clean uninstall' of the Palm Desktop software. Do you know anything about the registry editor? It is OK if you do not I have a walk though you can do but where we are going if you delete the wrong thing it could be very bad for you PC

Can I Use DTA to Transfer Straight From Palm Desktop to Google Calendar

I have a Palm Tungsten E2, and a Palm Desktop account for it, but I also have another Desktop account, which I want to keep separate and copy into Google Calendar.
I got the Data Transfer Assistant (DTA), and went through the first few steps towards transferring the data - even selecting the right account - but now it's saying that I need to connect my handheld, and sinse I don't have a handheld for that account, it looks like I'm stuck.
I tried connecting my Tungsten E2, but it did not recognize that and left the "Next" button pale.
I imagine I might be able to get this done if I erase everything from my Palm, HotSync the other account into it, and then do the DTA, but I'm not quite sure how to do that nor am I sure that when I erase the secondary account and sync the primary one back in I will have everything that I currently have - all the data, all the applications.
Is that the best way to go, and if so, what safety measures should I take?
If not, what is the best way to transfer data straight from Palm Desktop (version 6.2.2) to another calendar - preferably Google, but Outlook would be okay.
One thing that I know would work would be to convert the DBA file into a CSV file, but I don't know how to do that.
Any answers to any of the subquestions?

What king of files? If they are iWork files then sure. However if they are third party files such as Excel spreadsheets or MS Word documents etc.. then I'd recommend using Dropbox.

Importing a vCal file that was exported from Palm Desktop

Hopefully someone can help me out here. My wife uses Palm Desktop v4.2.1 to manage her Treo (we share a Mac mini). I figured out how to export the Datebook from Palm Desktop as a vCal file, and then import it into iCal. The problem is, there appears to be an error or corruption happening in the process. Some events are duplicated, while others are recurring every single day even though they weren't originally set that way. On her Treo and in Palm Desktop, the events are correct and appear as they should. So either the Palm Desktop is corrupting the data on the way out, or iCal is misreading it on the way in.
Has anyone experienced this (or similar) situation and if so, were you able to resolve it? I use iCal to manage my calendar on my iPod Touch (syncing via iTunes), and I'd like to have my wife's calendar on there as well, but not have to import or recreate events one at a time. I should also mention that her Treo 650 is not supported by iSync, so that option is out. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Please allow me to pile on this thread as I, too, am looking for answers to this problem. I am using Palm Desktop 4.2.2 to export my calendar from my Tungsten T3 to something iCal and my new iPhone 3G can understand, but the results so far have been a pig's breakfast of recurrence errors and birthdays that last two days.

Color coding of calendar in Sharepoint 2010

Hi All,
I have requirement where i need to add new metadata and to use the new metadata column in the calendar for color coding. Please suggest how i can do this?
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to color coding of calendar in SharePoint 2010
To get this done efficiently, SharePoint’s built-in calendar overlays are the way to go.
You can follow the steps as below:
Customize category column in the calendar list
Create views filtered by category column
Create blank view where the category filters for NULL value
Add the calendar overlays
For more information, you can refer to:
Four Easy Steps to Customized Color Code Calendars in SharePoint
Color-Code Events on a SharePoint Calendar
In addition, you can use code to achieve what you want. Please refer to:
