Palm Desktop 6.2.2 under Windows 8 missing modules after update from version 4.1.4

After installing Palm Desktop 6.2.2 over version 4.1.4 on my Windows 8 Laptop for use with my Palm Tungsten E2, I now have only 4 modules...Expense, Note Pad, Media and Install. Where did Calendar, Addresses, etc., disappear to?
Also, the HotSync Manager version 7.0.2 offers USB, Network and Serial, but NOT Bluetooth in the Connections settings. I use a Bluetooth adapter from IVT BlueSoleil and their version 8.0.395.0 driver/software, that works fine with anything else.
This question was solved.

GoneFishin6, I'd suggest a clean uninstall/reinstall of Palm Desktop.
Your issue is the first I've heard of. Others report success with Win8.
These instructions are for Vista but should work for Win8.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents --> Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step. If you are not concerned about your data at this point, skip the next step.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do with Palm Desktop from your computer. Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below. C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or PalmOne C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata *Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck hide hidden files.
When using Palm desktop 6.2, look in my documents or documents and delete the PalmOS desktop folder. This is the location of the PD 6.2 data files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box. Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician. BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc. * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks you for a username, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right corner of the hotsync screen.

Windows Xp machines cannot connect to Windows Server 2008r2 after Update from Microsoft.

After allowing sever updates from Microsoft, My customers XP Machines can no longer connect to the Windows server shares using the server name. We get "can't find path error". I can ping the IP address but not the Net-bios name. I
can connect by ip address but have a software that must use the name "server" in an executable. The workgroup sees all of the other computers just not the server, the server see's the windows 7 machines but not the XP machines. I have
tried every fix I can find in the forums and online. I did find and AD and DNS errors during the update. Errors 4004, 4005, 4015. Things I have tried: ipconfig flushdns, renew, registerdns, nbtstat -A servername, etc.
Thanks

As IP address works but not NetBIOS name, it seems like a DNS or WINS server related issue as Milos said.
If there is no WINS server configged, check DNS settings (server side) and suffix settings (client side).
Which system is updated, Windows XP or Windows 2008 R2? You can check the recently installed updates and provide us a list about all updates just installed.

How to create recovery disk for windows 8.1 after update from windows 8.

My laptop came with windows 8 and i have recovery discs for windows 8.
Now i've updated to windows 8.1, so i want to creat recovery discs for windows 8.1.
So in future when i use recovery discs i dont have to download windows 8.1 again.
Please tell me if there is any way to do this.....

As colakid posted, in Windows 8 the ability to create a recovery CD/DVD has gone. Your options are to:
create a recovery USB; or
create a recovery image.
Recovery USB
Colakid's post talks you through how to make a recovery USB: from control panel, choose Recovery, then Create a Recovery Drive, and follow the prompts.
However, the 'recovery USB' can be a bit misleading. When the wizard starts, there is an option to 'copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive'. If you do not check this option, you will still need installation media to reset your PC.
Since you have upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, you will probably not be able to check this option, as it will be greyed out (like it is in the picture in Colakid's post).
If you go ahead and create the USB anyway, you will be able to boot to it, but you won't be able to reinstall Windows unless you have the installation media (or possibly a system image, though I haven't tried that).
Recovery image
The recovery image is an image of your computer that Windows will use when you select the 'refresh my pc' option. You can create a recovery image using the recimg.exe tool.
First, open an elevated command prompt (type cmd and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter).
Next, create the recovery image by typing:
recimg /createimage [path]
Where [path] is the folder you want the image in, eg C:\Recovery. You cannot set the file name - it will always be called CustomRefresh.wim.
Let it run its course. When it's done, you can check that it is the current recovery image by typing
recimg /showcurrent
It's important to keep in mind what a recovery image contains. It will have your Windows system files (in their current state), and the desktop apps you have installed (so it makes sense to do this after a fresh install of Windows). It will
not backup any Metro apps or user files, because these are not deleted during a system refresh. If you want a complete backup of everything on your computer the way it is now, you should make take a complete system image (which
can be done from the File History settings in control panel - at the bottom left there will be a 'System Backup Image' option - or you can do it using any other backup software like Ghost or Acronis).
In my case, I created the recover image straight after upgrading to Windows and it was about 6 GB.
Prepare/Create and register an recovery partition, so the option Copy the Recovery Partition becomes available in the recovery drive UI application.
In elevated command run> RECIMG -CREATEIMAGE C:\REFRESHIMAGE<
This will create a new custom.wim in a folder Refreshimage.
Now lets get ready to register the path of the image, so our create recovery drive option(COPY THE RECOVERY PARTITION FROM THE PC TO THE RECOVERY DRIVE) becomes available.
> In the folder you created there will be a> custom.wim<
change it to>INSTALL.wim<
> Create a folder In Cd/directory using Elevated command> mkdir c:\Win8.1-Recovery,>
Win81-Recovery<.
> Copy the INSTALL.WIM. Put in the Win81-recovery folder created.
> Run in elevated commad>REAGENTC /SetOSImage /Path C:\Win81-Recovery\INSTALL.WIM /Index 1<
Do not copy the arrows if using copy and paste, that is my way of pointing out lines of code
Information provided by the link below, thanks Keith. I simplified the process for easy following and added my own tweak from trial and error for the install.

Windows 7 ultimate, after update can not open itunes under my account shows up very light on task bar, but opens fine under other accounts on same computer

Hi M0M1!
I have an article for you that seems to describe your issue and can provide some helpful troubleshooting steps for this issue:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Specifically, you will want to focus on this section of the article:
User-specific troubleshooting
If you experience the issue in one particular user account, the suggestions below may resolve the issue. Before proceeding, you'll need to make hidden files and folder visible in Windows using steps 1-5.
Remove iTunes Preference files. Some of the files that iTunes stores settings and preferences in may be unusable. iTunes saves its preferences in two folders. Move one of them to the desktop and test to see if the issue persists. If it does, move it back and remove the second folder. The locations for the preference folders are:
c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Create a new iTunes Library.
Hold the Shift key while opening iTunes. You'll be asked to choose an iTunes library.
Choose Create Library.
In the following window, select a location to save the new iTunes Library.
Click Save. iTunes will open the new library. After you close iTunes, you can always select the original library by holding the Shift key while opening iTunes.
Recreate your iTunes Library. If your iTunes library has become unusable, rebuilding it may resolve the issue.
Check for issues with content files. Sometimes an audio file can cause iTunes to quit unexpectedly or stop responding when it's analyzing gapless playback information. To determine which file may be causing the issue, follow the steps below:
Quit iTunes.
Navigate to the iTunes folder:
Windows Vista: c:\users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: c:\users\username\My Music\iTunes
Move the iTunes Library.itl file to your desktop.
Open iTunes. You shouldn't see any content in iTunes.
Choose File > Add Folder to Library.
Navigate to the folder where your music is located:
Windows Vista: c:\users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
Windows 7 and Windows 8: c:\users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
Choose an artist, album, or song to add to the library.
Wait for iTunes to successfully add the item to your library and perform the gapless playback scan.
If successful, continue adding songs to your library.
If there is an issue with one of your files, you'll notice your issue reappear after you add it to the library. You should repeat these steps, being careful not to add the files that caused the issue.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

HT4623 I cannot import my photos to my Windows xp PC after updating my iphone 5 with the latest iOS 7.1

I cannot import my photos to my Windows xp PC after updating my iphone 5 with the latest iOS 7.1

According to the iTunes download page, it still supports Windows XP.
Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 3 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
(Emphasis added)
If your XP computer was updated, then it should work. Again, the links I posted earlier contain the current USB drivers for the iPhone and Windows.

I am getting blocks of black, vertical broken lines to right of cursor, around applications on desktop and over text on internet. I recently updated from OS X Tiger to Leopard on my G5 powermac. Can anyone advise how to get rid of the blocks of lines?

What graphics card is installed?
Have you looked inside to see if the interior is dusty?
Is the graphics card dusty?
If equipped, is the fan on the graphics card turning?
Leopard uses the graphics card harder than Tiger, so weakness in the graphics card is more easily shown.

Palm Desktop Will Not Open on Windows XP Pro

I have recently upgraded my Treo 700P to a Centro. I completely removed all palm software on my computer, rebooted and then reinstalled it. It has been working with no problem until today. I haven't installed any new software or removed any from my phone. When I try to open the desktop on my computer it freezes at the splash screen and then I get the Windows error message asking me if I want to send a report to Microsoft or not. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling software. I ran a scan disk. Nothing I do, seems to change anything. I started my computer in safe mode and tried to open it there and still won't open. I looked at my event log and I get this same log entry every time I try to open it. I noticed on the Palm website that there is a version higher than the software on my phone, but it doesn't seem to install onto my phone during the hotsync and regardless, I don't think one thing has anything to do with the other. I have checked that my files are not read-only and that I have full admin rights on my laptop. Why did this just occur out of the clear blue sky? How do I fix it?

Try this, Locate the palm folder. (C:/Program files/Palm or Palmone/*hotsync username*
Copy the contents of your hotsync username then delete it from the original location. (Repeat for each user you have) Then try to open the Palm desktop. It should prompt you to create a new username.

Palm desktop for Zire 72 with Windows Vista, 32 bit

I've tried the version 4.1.4e offered on the website, it is not working, though one page on the site seemed to omit that it would work for Vista. What is strange is that it was working on my system just fine until a month ago. I've uninstalled what I had, reinstalled, and still nothing. Need help now! Thanks.
Post relates to: Zire 72

Hello godsey and welcome to the Palm forums.
Palm Desktop 4.1.4e should work on Vista, but in my opinion, Vista is still a bit quarky. I moved up to Palm Desktop 6.2 on my Vista box. The Zire 72 has the newer Palm PIM applications so it will sync to PDT 6.2. If you are still having trouble, you might want to try the upgrade. (I would encourage you to export your data from Palm Desktop 4.x before upgrading. The upgrade process converts your data and there is no going backwards without a prior data backup.)
Also, before downloading and installing Palm Desktop 6.2, make sure you read and understand the differences between Palm Desktop 4.x and 6.x. There are some changes, and in Palm Desktop 6.2 by ACCESS for Windows there are some features that have been taken away.

Palm Desktop Will Not Launch In Windows 7

Well, I may have a new wrinkle in the ongoing saga of Windows 7 - Palm problems. I just loaded the Palm Desktop program to my Windows 7 32-Bit OS and then I did a Hotsync which according to the Palm Sync Manager went fine. When I try to launch the Palm Desktop program on my computer I get the Windows message asking if I want to authorize the changes and when I click OK all I get is the Palm Desktop splash screen and then the program hangs up and just sits there. I can launch other programs over top of the Palm Desktop program and my computer appears fine but the Palm Desktop program just will not complete its launch. I guess it could be said that we have a "Failure To Launch".
Has anyone encountered this and do they have a fix? Like so many people in these Forums I have been using Palm products for a long time and can't see not having one. Thanks.
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

This is an update to my previous post of earlier today.
I was able, after a lot of messing around and wasted time, to get my Palm to sync with my Windows 7 32-Bit OS. I got a Palm error message telling me that "Not all data was backed up". I absolutely hate the look and feel of the new 6.2.2 Palm Desktop. It is extremely hard on the eyes and the print is so tiny it is just about uinreadable.
There is also a problem, with both the Lookup and Find functions in the Palm Desktop. Neither of them work. Whenever I try to do a search in Contacts the program locates something totally different than what I wanted ie: search for Bradley and the program goes to Kimnach. The Find function is just as useless, when I try to use it nothing happens and the program just sits there doing absolutely nothing.
Palm and Palm Pilots used to be good but now they are just another loser who couldn't make it. I completely understand why Palm was noit able to make it, they simply didn't have a clue in the world and their users paid a price for their stupidity and failure to innovate big time. If I didn't have so much at stake in terms of data I would pitch my Palm into the shredder and walk away from the whole mess that is Palm.
If anyone else has run into this mess and knows of a fix or a workaround please feel free to share it. Thanks!

Palm Desktop 6.2 crashing under Vista

I was running 4.1.4 and the alarm manager would crap out from time to time causing me to miss appointments. I updated to desktop 6.2 and the alarm manager still craps out, but now the desktop also crashes! If I view the calendar in months and skip back past June 2009 using the arrow keys around the month. Is this software used for the newer Palm products? It looks to me like Palm is all but ignoring this program.
Rick
Post relates to: Zire 72

I've run into the problem before but it's either been bad data or events spanning midnight. Usually in the month before or after the month that locks up the Palm desktop. You might want to check Sept and Nov for any events that span midnight.

Palm Desktop 6.2 & Hotsync manager (windows) cannot access internet during installation

I think that I posted this in the wrong forum before. If not, I apologize for the duplicate.
I just upgraded to windows 7 32-bit. I have Palm T/X and I was trying to install Palm Desktop 6.2 software from palm website. However, during installation I keep getting messages that "Setup was unable to access the internet. Check your internet connection and verify that it is working". even when I am downloading from the internet. My internet works fine. Has anyone else had the same problem and what is the fix for it. Thanks in advance for your help.

Recherche du dernier Palm Desktop compatible Zire 31 et Windows vista

Bonjour,
J'ai un Palm Zire 31 et je suis à la recherche de la dernière version comptable avec Windows vista.
Celle dont je dispose est la version 4.1.4, et je suis sait pas si c'est la plus récente.
D'autre part, j'avais avant un palm III et il y avait dans les outils, la possibilité d'éliminer les doublons dans les contacts et sur l'agenda.
Je ne l'ai plus et donc, à chaque synchro, je me retrouve avec des doublons.
Ce n'est pas dramatique mais embettant.
Par avance merci à tous ceux qui pourront me répondre.

Which version of Vista? 32bit or 64bit?
Your only solution to sync with 64bit is via the Infra-red (IR) port on your Zire31...

Palm Desktop 6.2 won't read data file after IR synch with IIIC

I have Windows 7, an old IIIC, and Palm Desktop 6.2. Since I can use a USB with that combination, I synced with an infrared connection. The files made it to the Palm directory, but the desktop program won't read them. My previous version of Palm Desktop allowed me to search for the data directory, but I can't find a way to do so with 6.2. And, no, the older version wouldn't display the data, either, in spite of my specifying the path.
I'm so close! One more step and I won't have to buy a smart phone and pay a monthly fee to carry around my contact date. Please help.

Palm Desktop 6.2.2 is not an upgrade to 4.x! It was designed to fix the things Microsoft broke when Vista was born.
It lacks many features that existed for many years in the 4.x versions.
I'd suggest doing a Clean Uninstall and reinstall your original version!

Firefox not working on Windows 8.1 after update to 32.0

For the last three versions 30.0, 31.0, and 32.0 Firefox will not work after updating on my Windows 8.1 laptop. I have tried resetting Firefox to default state, uninstalling and reinstalling, and resetting my TCP/IP stack (which usually fixes the problem). I also have gone to Internet Options in IE 11 and unchecked the automatically detect settings under the LAN connection options and then rechecked it without success. I also have Chrome installed on my machine as a check to see if it lies within the browser or my internet connection.
Internet Explorer 11 is the only browser that works so something seems to be amiss in Firefox.
