Palm Desktop 6.2.2 (Treo 650)

Palm Desktop 6.2.2 evidently was rushed out the door with features missing: No task (To Do) alarms; no contact (Address) birthdays; always opens full screen (an annoyance on my 23" wide screen monitor). Will this crippled version be updated, or is this the end of the line for Palm Desktop? If it will be updated, any idea when?

Palm Desktop and Hotsync are no longer owned by Palm. When Palm was split into PalmOne and PalmSource, PalmSource got the software. PalmSource has since been acquired by Access Company of Japan, who provided an underfeatured version. Palm has no legal right to modify the software (unlike what they did to 4.1.4) unless they purchase the software from Access. There is no indication that Palm has any intention to do this as Palm is working on a new Linux kernel OS, which should be on new devices in 2009. Access is also creating a competing Linux based OS and probably has no desire to work on enhancing the minimal product they delivered to Palm.
Unless you are running a Vista computer, there is absolutely no sane reason to use the Access Desktop. If you are running Vista, I'd suggest you review a few threads about using 4.1.4 with Vista.

        The best way is to install the Palm desktop version you had with your device and hotsync. If your device is still working install the Palm desktop to your new computer and run a hotsync with the conduits set to handheld overwrites desktop. If your new computer is a 64 bit version of windows 7 read the post 64bit drivers are here. This post has the liink to the driver and install directions. Aceeca 64bit driver

  • Outlook 07 synch to Palm Treo 650 Sync Conduit produces Contacts DUPLICATES in Outlook... Help!

    I downloaded the Sync Conduit from Palm, ran a synch from Treo 650 to Outlook 2007 (Vista 32) and it created duplicates for most of my CONTACTS in Outlook 07, not all but most, wierd.
    Treo 650 (Cingular)   -  ( Palm Desktop 6.2 )  -   Outlook 2007 (Office 2007)    -   PC Dual Core Vista Home Premium
    Can anyone help get Palm Conduit Sync to not create dups? I deleted all and tried it twice. There are no duplicates in the Treo or Desktop, never had a problem syncing to Palm Desktop, only to Outlook (I am converting from Windows Mail to Outlook)

    Te hotsync manager does not create duplicates. 
    You will need to clean up the contacts database in Outlook, hard reset your Treo, set the hotsync conduits to desktop overwrites handheld and then sync.
    Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding reset procedures.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887
    There is a 3rd party app. that will remove duplicates in Outlook.
    Here is the link to the site; http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/remove_duplicates/
    One thing you may not be aware of is that Palm desktop 6.2 has the Outlook 2007 conduits already installed, you do not need to install the Outlook 2007 conduit update.
    You may want to remove the 2007 conduit update using control panel.
    For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

  • How do I sync my event colors from treo 650 to iCal and vice versa?

    heres the deal:
    in using iCal and my Treo 650 (Verizon), I have been iSyncing the two together. While all the data and calendar events, contacts from Address book, tasks from task list transfer no problem, none of the event colors sync up. If an event from iCal is marked red, it moves to the Treo in "unfiled" gray. If the event is on the Treo and moves to the iCal, it is automatically shuffled under the default color code in the Options category.
    If the event is on both the Treo and iCal as red, and I edit the iCal version and then sync the two, it changes the Treo version back to "gray", even though both tools have the same color options and the same categorizations. although this sounds like a small glitch, I run a tour guiding business with multiple tour guides and the color coding is crucial to my PDA, so its driving me absolutely crazy. I bought my Treo with the promise that everything would sync up with the iCal, and it wont.
    What do I do?

    The behavior you describe is a characteristic limitation of the iSync Palm Conduit.
    The Missing Sync for Palm OS from Mark/Space supports categories and groups, and therefore—on advanced Palm OS devices like your Treo 650 smartphone—calendar colors. You can learn more about this application here:
    http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php
    The Mark/Space Knowledge Base says this about categorization:
    Calendars and Categories
    • iCal events are assigned to a Palm category with the same name as the calendar they are part of. If the category does not exist on the Palm device, the Events conduit creates a category with the calendar name and assigns the event to that category. If that category cannot be added—due to space limitation—the event is added to Unfiled.
    • Palm events/tasks that are in a specific category are sent to that calendar in iCal only if a calendar with the same name as the category exists. If the calendar does not exist, the record will be sent to the calendar that is chosen in the conduit configuration sheet. If the calendar is read only, the event/task will be ignored.
    • On the first synchronization of read-only calendars, the items are properly assigned to the correct category on the device. If any edit is made to an item in a read-only calendar the change is ignored but will persist on the device until something forces it to be overwritten by data from the desktop, for example: if the read-only item was updated. If an item is assigned to a read-only calendar it will be switched to the calendar you have selected in your preferences.
    • Calendars listed in the conduit settings are pulled from Sync Services, meaning that if iCal has not finished synchronizing with Sync Services the full list of calendars may not be read.

  • Palm Desktop seems to back up only select data from Treo 650

    I recently transferred my Palm Desktop program and backup files from my old XP PC to my new PC running Windows 7 (64bit).  Aside from the frustrations of being unable to HotSync using USB, I was more concerned that that address & calendar files in my user folder were nearly empty.   My calendar contained 14 random events from within the last month and the address book contained three contacts (my Treo contains hundreds).  Each folder should have contained considerably more data.  I went back to the original user folder on my old PC and the saved data was no different.  Although hundreds of events & contacts appear on my Treo and in the Palm Desktop, my user file has less than 1MB of data in those respective folders.
    Can I conclude that my monthly HotSyncs have been faulty all of this time?  Or am I looking in the wrong place for my complete data.  Until I find a workaround the Windows 7 problem, I want to make sure all my data is at least present on the hard-drive (even though I can't HotSync). 
    FYI, this is where I found my skimpy data:   C:/Palm OS Desktop/(username)/address   and   C:/Palm OS Desktop/(username)/datebook     .   The Palm Desktop is Version 6.2.2
    Thank you! 
    Post relates to: Treo 650 (Sprint)

    An update to the above issue:   All of the datebook & address data IS present within the *.aba files within my user folder when opened via Microsoft Access.  However, when I import those files into Palm Desktop, only a small handful of events (28 out 5000+) and addresses (3 out 1000+) appear.

  • Can you sync to a Treo 650 WITHOUT installing Palm Desktop?

    I own a Treo650. I want to permanently delete Palm Desktop so I never have to use it again. Can iSync be used on its own to sync the Treo with my address book and iCal? Does it need to have a portion of the Palm software to sync to my Treo? Thanks.

    No, you cannot: not with iSync. You must install an up-to-date version of the Palm Desktop, version 4.2.1 revision D or later, in most cases, because iSync requires that the HotSync Manager, Transport Monitor and other bundled processes be present in your configuration to launch, supervise and terminate a synchronization event.
    You do not have to use the Palm Desktop, and do not need to have an alias to it in your Dock. Deleting it is generally not a good idea for most users, for a number of reasons.
    As an alternative, you can sychronize a Palm OS 4 or later device using the Missing Sync for Palm OS, which installs its own equivalent components to those required by iSync, and in fact, defeats the HotSync Manager and Transport Monitor during installation and configuration.

  • Palm Treo 650 Bonus software question

    Post relates to: Treo 650 (Alltel)

    I don't know about the Treo 650 software, but a similar answer DTfromBH gives has been erroneously repeated for Treo 680 CD software. First time owners have been told they can't get replacements. The Bonus Software was actually freely available for download on the Palm site, contrary to what many were told when contacting customer support.  Since the demise of MyPalm Beta, I don't know the location of the Bonus Software download page, but it was there & the apps could be downloaded individually. 
    A license to single use means one individual may use the software for himself on one device only; it doesn't mean the software can't be replaced. That license would usually tranfer to the new owner. One is likely to be prohibited from transferring the software to another owner of another device, but not a subsequent owner of the same device.  The hitch is that the device must be registered with Palm in order to be eligible to purchase a replacement CD. However, as I said the Bonus Software had been available for download on MyPalm Beta, as was the Palm Desktop.

  • ISync, Palm Treo 650, and my sanity

    Just bought a Palm Treo 650 this evening and I'm having the hardest time.
    Been trying to iSync via USB with mixed luck. I installed the software that came with the phone, made sure my HotSync settings were correct, and hit the Hotsync button on the USB cable.
    Nothing happened for several tries. Was as if the cable was broken as the Palm just couldn't contact the computer and would eventually time out.
    Then when I used the AC adapter along with the USB I got a different result. The Palm and Mac were now talking. But it did give me errors regarding the conduits being in conflict. So I changed the settings on some of the conduits and I finally got a successful sync.
    Well semi-successful. Some of the stuff didn't seem to be syncing. Like some of my iCal entries. So I found an article showing how to drag some of the conduits to the Disabled folder. Which I did. And now ever since I cannot seem to get the the Palm and Mac to talk again. I get the "Connecting with the desktop using Cradle/Cable" for a while and then the "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again."
    Anyone know where I'm going wrong? Would really appreciate some help/advice.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    There are apparently several issues in play here. So long as you are willing to live the the limitations of the iSync Palm Conduit and synchronize via only one path—either USB or Bluetooth, but not selectively moving back and forth between the two—you can configure iSync to synchronize contact data with the Address Book and calendaring and task data with iCal.
    With the exception of non-conflicting conduits like Memos, you will be unable to synchronize at all with the Palm Desktop. [Palm conduits which conflict with iSync are those used by various models to synchronize contacts—Address Conduit and Contact Conduit—those used to synchronize calendars—Calendars Conduit and Datebook Conduit—and those used to synchronize tasks—Tasks Conduit and ToDo Conduit.]
    Unless you thoroughly understand how this technology works, it's not a great idea to 'experiment' by moving conduits manually. A properly configured Conduits folder for iSync users should contain at least…
    • Apple [the Finder name of the iSync Palm Conduit]
    • Backup
    • Install
    • Memos Conduit [only if you want to continue to synchronize memos to the Palm Desktop]
    • any non-conflicting third-party or additional conduits you want to use
    Other conduits should reside in the Disabled Conduits folder.
    You add a Palm device, either via USB or Bluetooth, using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option under the Devices menu of iSync. You set the synchronization parameters for your device in the drop-down configuration pane exposed when you press the Tungsten icon in the main window of iSync.
    You did the right thing by installing the Palm Desktop software using the bundled CD-ROM that shipped with your Treo 650. But, you should have upgraded that application by applying the Palm Desktop 4.2.1 revision D, available here:
    http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421revd.html
    If you elect to upgrade your copy, just run that installer. Do not attempt to remove any existing components of the Palm Desktop. And keep in mind that though you may not choose to use it at all, its HotSync Manager and Transport Monitor components are critical to the operation of iSync.

  • Palm Desktop - Can download but can't access Palm Desktop for Treo 755p

    After 6 months of use, no problem with my Treo.  Last week my Palm Desktop won't let me access into it.  Have uninstalled/installed at least 6-7 times each.  Desktop downloads onto computer fine but I only see the front "page" if you will.  Keep getting this error ...
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library ... Runtime Error! ... Program C:\Program Files\Palm\Palm.exe ... This
    application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.  Please contact the application's support

    Have tried everything to override this error.  Installing, uninstalling, disengaging antisoftware, spoke with Palm Support via Live Chat (my analyst Vivian there was really helpful and tried but still stuck with same problem), have researched
    forums, the net, my how to guides, everything.  But no luck.  Someone suggested to try a different desktop.  Have researched that but can't even get into my App to see which version I have cause I'm locked out of it.  I have
    Windows XP Home SP 2 OS, Treo 755p Palm OS Garnet v.5.4.9.  I don't use the Treo as a phone, mostly as a
    portable PDA so only USB connection to computer.  I am not tech savvy.

    Thank you Pat for all your help.  Your advice worked.  A dash shows the specific folders and keys I located on my computer (for those reading this and have exact same problem, you might have same and/or the other keys).  I trust you gave all variable folder and key names. It worked perfectly the first time.  
    I had not made a backup or rename of my backup folder but as it was still in my Garbage Bin, I restored it after the fact.  The restored Palm Folder files scattered all over my computer.  When I tried to reinstall after the Restore, same Microsoft error blocked me again out of Desktop.  Not knowing what files to really delete, but determination and "painfully" did a search by both my Treo username and "Palm", sifted thru every file, sent back to garbage bin, cleaned registry again, reinstalled, and held my breath as computer restarted. 
    Everything is cleaned out, running smooth and I have my backup folder.
    Might I add to the viewers not to save a backup of the backup folder AFTER the fact.  Either rename or save a duplicate outside of the Program Folder to avoid hours of needless work.  Again thank you so very much for helping me.

    Hi All,
    I like to develop application for Treo 650 having version Palm OS Garnet 5.4.8. But my installed Garnet OS Development Suit has default inbuilt sdk.
    I have downloaded and installed latest sdk 5.6 for Garnet development from www.accessdevnet.com but how to integrate it with the suit ???
    The built-in sdk is sdk-5r4 which uses TelephonyMgr.h for telephony but my treo 650 withdrawn supporting TelephonyMgr and uses other new library as I found in the PalmDeveloperGuide_PalmOs.pdf ....
    "Treo smartphones have their own Phone library. The telephony header files
    TelephonyMgr.h, TelephonyMgrTypes.h, and TelephonyMgrUI.h are not
    supported in Treo smartphones."
    And the inbuit sdk has TelephonyMgr instead of new telephony library. I have downloded and installed Palm SDK 5.6 found in accessdevenet.com but do not know how to integrate with Garnet development suit.
    I can not start developing without the matching sdk.
    Please anybody help.....
