Palm Desktop 6.2 and 32-bit Windows 7

Hello Everyone,
I am looking to confirm that Windows 7 32-bit works with Palm Desktop 6.2 before I upgrade. Right now I have a 755p from Verizon. 
Thanks again for everyones help.

We haven't done any testing on Windows 7 to know if it would work or not. For updates I would suggest keep this page booked marked. www.palm.com/desktop

  • Does Palm Desktop 4.1.1 work on Windows 8.1/64 bit?

    Have never posted on a forum before so a bit nervous - but desperation needs must!
    Have followed closely replies to other queries on this Palm forum (and the wonderful work which Wyrenut, SMKranz and many others do - well done chaps!). However can't quite locate the answers that I'm looking for. So please help if you can! Here goes:
    Current situation: running PD 4.1.1 on Windows XP/32 bit. Handset is TungstenT which is limping badly and only rarely synced with. So it is the Desktop which is most important.
    Migrating to Windows 8.1/64 bit and would like to continue using 4.1.1. Will it work? Any major downsides if it does? Will it sync with the handset if it is ever required - by bluetooth or usb (with the hep of those Acerca drivers)?
    If 6.2. is the only option for  8.1 which format should I export Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and memos in?   PD 4.1 offers, in addition to the default, several other possibility(csv, text, tab, vcard). Confused about which one is best
    Any help you can give would be most gratefully received. Thanks

    xenssa,
     Palm Desktop 4.1 does work on Windows 8/64 bit.
    I have not updated to 8.1
    If I was to buy a new PC with Win 8.1 I would try Palm Desktop 4.1
    I have been using it for 3 months with no problems. I have a Zire 72.
    I do a USB HotSync using the Aceeca driver.
    When you install the Palm Desktop software skip check the internet for updates step.
    I have my Windows UAC (User account Control) set to Never Notify.
    I set the Palm Desktop/ Properties/Compatibility to  Run this program as administrator.
    To make Palm Desktop "Run as Administrator" every time in Windows 8/8.1:
     Close Palm Desktop, if open. (This is a very important thing to always do when using Palm Desktop, it has been known to lose data when a computer is shut down without closing the program!)
     Right Click on the Palm Desktop Icon in the Metro screen, then choose "Open File Location".  You will now see the actual file for the shortcut.
     Right-click on the "Palm Desktop" shortcut file, then Properties.  Now pick the Compatibility Tab at the top.
     At the bottom of the Compatibility Tab is a checkbox:  "Run this Program as Administrator".  Put a check in the box, then click OK  to close the window.
    I use the Import Export feature in Palm Desktop to Backup my Calendar and Contacts and save in my Dropbox.
    I use .dba (Calendar) and .aba (Contacts) formats.
    I use PD 4.1 with Vista, Win 7, and Win 8.
    I can create a PD Backup on any of these PCs and import it into another PC.
    Make sure to select all Contacts before you backup, only the highlighted contacts will be exported.
    I use the vCard format to move Palm contacts to my Gmail contacts

    Did you upgrade from a previous version of Palm desktop? 
    Do you have all your current data on the Treo? 
    If you have your data in Palm desktop and it is current, export the data for backup purposes, uninstall Palm desktop 6.2 and re-install 6.2.
    Here are the export procedure instructions.
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
    Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
    Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
    With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
    Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
    With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
    What is the version of windows you are using?
    XP or Vista?

  • Palm Desktop 6.2 and Tngsten C

    By mistake I have installed Palm Desktop 6.2 and tried to hotsync my Tungsten C. After that I found that Palm Desktop was not opening. I removed it from PC and re-installed Palm Desktop 1.4.1 but I can't hotsync anymore. After I try, Palm Desktop does not open anymore. I suppose that version 6.2 sent some strange command to Handheld so it is not able to hotsync with previous version. Is there any way of fixing this?
    Post relates to: Tungsten C

        There are several problems going on at once here. You have a legacy device and are attempting to make it work on multiple operating systems with the newest desktop version that lacks the PIM conduits for older devices. So lets pick one computer to first fix the problem. It is likely that you have a corrupted palm file. One other problem that is a recurring theme, is when people try more than one version of palm desktop. The standard Windows uninstall tool does not remove enough of the software from the registry. So go to the sticky post about doing a clean uninstall and follow the directions if you have tried more than one palm desktop version. My next suggestion is to go to Pimlico software and try there application DbFixit   
          You can run it for free to see if it picks up anything wrong but you will need to register it to fix a problem.
    Put the palm desktop 4.1.4 on instead of the 6.2.2. If you use the 6.2.2 on the Vista only you will also need a free application from Pimlico called PalmHotsyncSetup that will fix the PIM conduits but this will only work on Vista.
        I would also like to know if all of your computers are 32bit Windows operating systems.

  • How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?

    Hello,
    How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?
    I have a Palm Tungsten E handheld which just died.
    Luckily, all my data is backed-up on my Palm Desktop V4.2.1.
    I just bought an iPod-Touch, so I would like to easily transfer
    all my data (Addressbook, Calendar, etc) from the Palm Desktop
    on my Mac (OSX 10.5) to the equivalent Mac applications
    (Address Book, iCal) which will then allow me to view and update
    them on my iPod-Touch.
    How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    David

    Hi David. The contact information is straightforward. Bring up your Address List in Palm Desktop, then select Export under file. You pick vCard as the format, and save the resulting file where ever. In Address Book, you then select Import --> vCards under file. You may need to edit things like birthdays by hand afterwards.
    I am still working on the Calendar information.

  • Do I have to give up Palm Desktop 4.2 with my new Windows 7 64-bit Computer?

    Just got a new Windows 7, 64-bit computer. I am completely dependent on my Palm Desktop 4.2 software and don't want to give it up. However, I was told by an online chat rep. that I needed a bluetooth connection to hot synch my Centro with my new computer. Ran out and bought it, but it seems that on Palm Desktop v. 4.2 there is no option to hot synch via bluetooth...obviously, the program is too old.
    Does this mean I have to "upgrade" to Palm Desktop 6.2? Yuk! This version stinks! 4.2 is the reason I'm on my 3rd Palm product. Is there a different calendar software that you can hot synch with a desktop calendar? Has anyone had any success with this?
    Any advice would be appreciated!

    No windows 7 64 bit USB driver, PALM is SO OVER.
    Sad I love my CENTRO on SPRINT.  I have 3 on my account and 2 7xx.  USB Bluetooth dongles are cheap but annoyingly flakey because of the crummy software that comes with them AND will they work with PTunes?  It didn't when I tried Bluetooth on Windows XP.
    At the END of the day, if PALM is not committed enough to put out a windows 7 64 bit USB driver how can I be committed to this phone.  Looks like Android is getting help from palm, although I don't want to deal with learning a new phone.
    If you find a good USB Bluetooth dongle device that works let us know here.
    By the way, this ANNOYING chat board says me first name is an OBSCENE word.  PALM is insulting their loyal customer base.  I'll see if the Android board will let me use my first name.  :-)
    Thanks,

  • How to copy Palm Desktop data to a PC using Windows 8.1

    If like me you still find the Palm Desktop data (address, calendar, memos, etc.) handy and use it long after throwing away the handset and "sync" ability, you may find this useful.  I bought a new PC using Windows 8.1 and had problems transferring data because of a wrinkle that I figured out, which didn't exist in Windows XP, Vista or 7 versions.  Here's a recap of one way to easily transfer data from those earlier versions if you have a USB flash drive (or Dropbox, Google Drive, whatever) handy :
    1) Download Palm Desktop 6.2 or 6.2.2 to your new PC.  Then give a user name exactly as it exists in your old PC's database.  This name will be used by Desktop software to create a six letter folder name (an abbreviated version of your name) to hold data that Palm Desktop will look up.  Wait a few seconds for this to happen, then close the Desktop application on your new PC.
    2) In your old PC from where you want to transfer data, look for the folder called "Palm OS Desktop" which should exist in "Documents" under "Users" folder and subfolders path like >your name subfolder>Documents in Windows 7 (may be Vista too) or may be under "Documents and Setting" folder in Windows XP. 
    3) In this folder "Palm OS Desktop" look for that six letter subfolder of your name, and select that entire subfolder and choose "Copy" or Ctrl-C
    4) Locate the same subfolder name in your new PC (which will have null data), delete it, and then "paste" the subfolder you "copied" into the same exact location.  If you've done it right, Viola!  Your new PC desktop should show all the transferred data once you again open the application.
    Most of the same procedure works with Windows 8.1 (probably also Windows 8) PCs.  What I found different was that the data subfolder created under "Palm OS Desktop} had 7 instead of 6 characters with a "0" (zero) added as the last character.  So when you finally copy and paste that subfolder into the new PC you have to rename it and add that "0" for the Palm Desktop to locate this data.
    Hope this helps.

    To turn off UAC, go to the Control Panel, then User Accounts.
    Under the header, "Make changes to your user account", there is an entry titled "Change User Account Control Settings".
    Pick it, and drag the slider all the way down to "Never Notify".

  • Establishing Palm Desktop 4.1.4 connectivity on Windows 2003 Server - using m500

    Admittedly, this is a legacy problem solution.  I was told by tech support that Palm could not support the m500 on Windows 2003 Server.  Via another connectivity solution, I learned that the pnp services needed to connect the palm m500 to my Windows 2003 server could be established.  I went to the link:
    Installing SSDP and UPNP services under Windows 2k3
    (the link url is: http://alantechreview.blogspot.com/2008/03/installing-ssdp-and-upnp-services-under.html)
    followed the procedure, then installed Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and was able to hotsync my m500 to that instance of Palm Desktop.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Palm desktop appearance different in Mac than Windows

    My Palm Desktop looks quite different after the software was loaded onto my new iMac. I am using a Z22 and have grown to love my Palm very much and rely on it daily. One feature that I use quite often is the NOTES tab for Contacts. The new desktop on the Mac does not have a tab for notes.  The fields for entering data forcontacts is also quite limited.
    Is there a way for my Palm Desktop on my iMac to look the same as it did in Windows? 
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    If you really want someone to blame, then the people who own palm should be somewhere in the firing line, as they have halted any further development on the mac platform despite palm OS once being considered the natural companion of the mac. If you notice in the account setup for palm forums there is as yet still not even an option to choose mac osx 10.5 leopard, and the desktop software is written for PPC computers as opposed to intel ones. If you have an intel mac therefore, it will run really quite slowly.

  • Can't burn cd's using iTunes 7.3 and 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate

    Every time I try to burn a CD I get the following error:
    "Disc Burner or Software Not Found"
    I have checked Device Manager and no problems with the disc burner there. I've even burned cd's from Windows Media Player(and dvd movies with other programs), but I would prefer using iTunes 7.3 to burn cd's. From reading the discussions it is my understanding that iTunes cd burning functionality doesn't work with 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista. Is there a fix for this? Please advise.

    Here's how to get Itunes to work in Vista and XP64 bit:
    Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click on Command Prompt -> Run As Administrator.
    Type “cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64″
    Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll
    If you don’t do Run as Administrator, the regsvr32 will fail. Also, be careful to run the command in SysWOW64, not System32! System32 on a 64-bit system actually contains the 64-bit system libraries.

  • Printer networking issue between 32 bit and 64 bit windows 7 computers

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909G printer that I'm trying to network between 2 pcs, both on Windows 7.  One is a 32 bit and the other is a 64 bit.
    The printer won't stay available to both pcs.  I've tried having it directly connected to the router and directly connected to one of the pcs (done with both computers).  It will work initially but won't stay available to both pcs.  Right now I've given up and just unplug and plug in the usb cable for whichever pc wants to be able to print, which is becoming a pain.

  • Operating system. We have Premier Pro CS6 and 32-bit Windows 7. It will not install

    Dell Laptop Latitude 6420
    Windows 7 Professional
    8GB Ram
    A user in Public Relations needs to use Adobe Premier Pro CS6. However when we tried to install it the program is grayed out and has a caution icon. If I hover over it there is a message that says it prefers 64-bit. Prefers does not mean will not work in my opinion. However it will not install.
    I read that Premier Pro is 64-bit only on another web site. Is this true? There has to be a solution.
    On the Adobe site I saw that installing CS4 Premier was the work around but you have to purchase a license key. We have already purchased Premier Pro and do not have money in the budget to purchase an older product when this one should work.
    Please help. I am under a lot of pressure to resolve this

    Premiere Pro CS6 is 64 bit software and will only install on a 64 bit computer. There is no way around that.

  • Photoshop CS4 SDK and 64-bit Windows

    Will there be an SDK for 64-bit Windows or do we just use the CS3 SDK and compile plug-ins in x64 mode?
    Does CS4 support both 32-bit plug-ins and 64-bit plug-ins when the 64-bit version of Photoshop is installed?

    Well, now that Photoshop CS4 has released, we have some answers. Yes, there is an SDK at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshop/sdk/. Yes, both 32-bit and 64-bit environments are supported on Vista-64. This is done by installing 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Photoshop.
    Nicely done!
