Palm Desktop 6.2.2 on Win8.1 syncing but not displaying data

I'm so pleased to have found this forum. I didn't realise there was so much love for old Palm devices. I started with a Palm V and worked my way up to a Tungsten T & palm Desktop 4.1.4 on WInXP and everything has been so good that I've resisted moving away from Palm Desktop as it does everything I need. But I've just bought a new Win8.1 PC and am having some problems that I hope someone here can help with.
I've been through the help here about installing Palm Desktop 6.2.2 and the win8 driver and the installation was very smooth and I could hotsync via usb with no apparent problem, except that Palm Desktop is not displaying any of my palm data!
When I first ran hotsync (from the palm cradle button) it asked for a user name. My Tungsten T was already being used on my XP PC and was full of data. So I entered the Tungsten user name and hotsync continued. it took a couple of minutes or so (as would be expected) and when complete it said everything was ok. I checked the Hotsync logand it confirmed everything was synchronised correctly - but when I opened Palm Desktop there was no data being displayed.
I then checked the data files in ...documents\Palm OS Desktop\.... and the address and datebook files are present and full of my data. I even opened them using Notepad and could easily see loads of ascii text amongst all the 'junk' characters, so it looks as if the sync process has worked correctly but nothing from my Tungsten is being displayed in the Palm Desktop.
I then added an event in the datebook in Palm Desktop and another event on the same day in the Tungsten. I then did another hotsync. It was reported as successful but the Tungsten event did not appear in the Desktop although the Desktop even DID appear on the Tungsten. So the sync process seems to be only working one way!
I've never had this happen before and would really appreciate any help.

OK, try using the "Palm Hotsync Setup" program found on this page.
Since you are using an older T|T, this may be the answer.
There is a guide available from this website for migrating PalmOS data to Android, if interested. I made that jump years ago when webOS was ended. You can find it on their Home page.

Palm TX will sync but not transfer data after installing 64bit drivers for Windows 7

Palm TX will sync but not transfer data after installing 64bit drivers for Windows 7 using the USB cable. Does anyone have any advise?
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

@MikeNTxs - 64bit USB drivers have been available since April of 2010, and they do work. I've synced successfully to my Vista64 bit laptop many times via USB.
See the sticky thread at the top of this section titled "64bit Palm Desktop drivers are here!"

Spouse, Children fields from Outlook - syncing, but not displayed

I discovered something rather curious, and am wondering if anyone has any more information about this.
I use the Children and Spouse fields in my Outlook records. When I sync to iPhone, these fields are not shown. However, if I choose to "share a contact", it sends a vCard, which does include these fields! So the iPhone is clearly copying it over, but not displaying it? What's the point of that? I can understand a reluctance to make some fields uneditable, but storing them without displaying them?
Also of note: the vCard does not include the Anniversary field, even though it does sync this and includes other fields in the vCard like Birthday. That looks like a bug to me. Anyone care to confirm?
Thanks,
Keith

Hi,
It depends what you require...suppose in the multiprovider you want the filed from the ODS then you should select the fiel from the ODS but if you want the filed to get the value from the navigational attribute then you should go fro the navigation attribute in the options.
Navigation attribute will show up in the left if you have made them navigation in the cube as well.
identification gives you an option to map the the multiprovoder fileds with the fields of the underlying infoproviders.....if you go for create recoomendations then it will chose the optimal mapping that is one to one mapping.....A to A etc...but in certain case you want A to map to B such as in sone cases shipt-to-party can take data from sold-to-party....depends upon the requirement.
The options in the left gives you the char which will show up in the query and by selecting the char from the right from different inforproviders you actually defeine which filed from the infoproviders it should take data from.
So just make sure that all the fields in the right which are going to show up in the query should get have the identiication from the different infoproviders and there respective char....a navigation mapped to a navigation....and a direct char to a direct char from the infoprovider.
Hope it explains.
Thanks

Updated my iphone 3gs, lost my music and apps, they are backed up on itunes, how do I move them back to my phone, tried to sync but not working, please help

Updated my iphone 3gs, lost my music and apps, they are backed up on my computer but i cannot move them over to my phone, tried to sync but not working, please help

well first make sure that when you click on the name of your iphone on the left hand side of itunes that you go to the app and music tab and check mark the sync apps and sync music. then try clicking apply in the bottom right hand corner. then if not try doing it again after going to prefrences in the top menu and going to devices tab and click reset sync history if that doesnt work with music try and drop and drag to the name of your iphone, lastly if that doesnt work you can try restoring from a backup from before you updated. it will keep the new software but put everything that was on your phone when you created the backup back onto your phone.

I assume you are talking about iTunes on your computer, if so, you will have to remove all Apple programs associated with iTunes:
iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Make sure everything that is by Apple is removed including Safari. You can sort by "Publisher", when you uninstall programs. Make sure you have at least one other web browser (like Firefox or Internet Explorer) before removing Safari. That way you can go back to the Apple web site and redownload iTunes later.
Reboot the computer then reinstall iTunes. Everything should work normally.

Ipod is synced but not all music will play. The music shows on the Ipod but not highlighted and cannot click to play.

Provided the music plays in iTunes on the computer
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I have an iphone 3 and outlook 2010. I cleaned up all my outlook contacts and tried to sync but not all of the existing contacts on my phone show up in outlook. Is there a way to sync all numbers on iphone to oulook so I can clean them up from my desktop?

I have an Iphone 3 and use Outlook 2010. I just recently tried to sync with my desktop using Itunes and once they were synced I cleaned up alot of the contacts using outlook but when I tried to sync them not all the information from outlook made it to my iphone. Additionally, there are a lot of contacts in my iphone that are not showing up in outlook. I have tried several things but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

So after looking a bit closer i have noticed that when i have the phone plugged into the computer it shows the songs but when i dont have it plugged in and i go so the song icon on the bottom of the music menu screen it says i have no songs!

My notes from ipad or iphone sync but not to my mac air?

my iphone and ipad sync my notes but mac air doesnt

The templates are stored locally. If you want to move a template then you can open the tempate on the machince where they already exist, then save as a file (let's say on you desktop), then email, or move (using a flash drive) to the Mac mini.
Open the file on the mac mini and save as a template.
I do not have Numbers on an iOS device so I cannot say how to get it to your iphone. I would think you can share the document using iCloud then open from iCloud on the phone and save as a template.

IPhone 4s able to wifi sync but not able to with iPhone 4 and iPad 1

I have searched numerous threads but cannot appear to find a mac based solution to my problem.
I recently had to dig out my old macbook pro 3,1 as my new macbook suffered unfortunate unrepairable damage. It is running os 10.7.4
My wife's iPhone 4s is able to wifi sync with it but my iphone 4 (running most recent software ) and my iPad 1 are not seen by wifi.
I have the option to enable wifi syncing ticked. My base station is a dual band time capsule running the most recent software 7.6.1, there is also an apple tv on the network.
IF I attach the iphone 4 or the Ipad by USB they will sync but when I remove them they immediately disappear from the side bar. If I attempt to go to settings general, wifi sync and manually select to sync I receive the message that sync will start once computer becomes available. They are all on the same network
I have restored both the iphone 4 and ipad, reseted network settings on the iphone and ipad, reseted the time capsule settings and deleted itunes and re installed it. All to no avail.
Any proposed solutions I have found via google are for windows based systems, any advice would be appreciated.

I am having this exact same issue. None of my wifi syncing devices had backed up in several days. The only way to get it to backup is right click on the device and actively select "backup".

Notes syncing but not showing up in Outlook

I don't know if this is a topic somewhere, had a quick search couldnt find it.
I have an old version of Outlook (2000), which technically doesn't sync with the iPod touch (according to the apple site, 2003/2007 is required). now Outlook really misbehaves on my computer anyway but this isn't the issue.
I set it to sync anyway, just to see if it would, and it does seem to sync them. When I change Notes or make new ones, I get pop up messages when syncing, to ask if I want it to continue and overwrite them for example.
This morning I had to do a full restore, and it would appear that my Notes ARE somewhere on my Computer, because they have returned themselves to my iPod. yet i have no idea WHERE they are.
anyone know?

In Outlook 2007, Notes are accessible in the bottom left corner of the window, at the bottom of what's called the Navigation Pane, below the Folder List. You may already have tabs there for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks. Initially, there is no Notes tab, but the Notes icon is placed at the bottom. Click on that, and it opens up a default note, and positions the Notes tab under the Tasks tab. All Notes are initiated here, and sync'd Notes from your iPod Touch and/or iPhone will be displayed there as well, arranged chronologically. At least, that's how it works in Outlook 2007.

Certain songs will sync but not load?

Certain songs in my recently added will sync to my iPhone but not load (i.e. titles are in gray, will not play when I click on them). How can I fix this? All of the songs are checked, I have tried with my iCloud on and off and it won't work either way.

Have you tried restoring your iPod? For details on how to do that, see this article:
Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings
If you are having problems with restoring the iPod, then you can try downloading the iPod Reset Utility 1.0, and basically restoring your iPod through there.

My Outlook calendar won't sync with my ipod touch and vice versa. Wherever I input the info is where it stays. Contacts and notes sync but not calendar.

My iPod Calendar won't sync with my Outlook Calendar and vice versa. Wherever I input the information is where it stays. My contacts and notes sync just fine. Please help. Very frustrated. It used to work just fine. I just upgraded to iTunes 10.2 version.

I have the same problem since I updated to iTunes 10.2 Sue (I think). For me this was somewhere in January.
I wasn't sure iTunes was the issue, until I read your post. I tested syncing a note, and that works fine.
My 2nd generation Ipod Touch runs on IOS 4.2.1. It won't upgrade to 4.3.
Possibly the synchonisation between iTunes 10.2 and IOS 4.2.1 doesn't work correctly.
Has somebody else solved this isue? I use both calendars (on iPod Touch and on PC) for work and private matters.
Otherwise I have to uninstall iTunes 10.2 and downgrade to 10.2.
