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?

    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.

    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?

    What is the OS of your computer? Windows or MAC? I see you stated "wastebasket" is this referring to the "Trash" on a MAC?
    Do you still have your data on the handheld? If you do, you could change the hotsync conduits to handheld overwrites desktop and then sync.

  • How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

    I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
     Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet?  Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
     After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files.  If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

  • Restore Palm Desktop Addresses from last Hot Sync and using those backup files

    I have numerous issues.  First I have Windows Vista 64 byte which does not allow a USB Hot Sync so I attempted the Wireless Hot Sync and killed my Palm Centro.  The information was restores going to the store and they did something.  So that is my first issues - I am unable to Hot Sync.  However the Hot Sync took place and I have found the 'Back-up' files on my Computer from that Hot Sync Operation. 
    My new issue is that somehow I lost many addresses on my Palm Desktop Address File and that is a mystery to me.  
    What I am trying to accomplish now is to restore those missing addresses on my Palm Desktop (Computer Files) using if possible those backed up files from the last Hot Sync as i do not believe I should try the Wireless Hot Sync again since that has failed me twice and my phone dies and it needs to be restored at the Sprint store.  I'm not even sure I remember now how exactly that was done....
    So, is there a way to restore addresses to my computer Palm Desktop from those back-up files from the Hot Sync?  OR does anyone have a solution to actually performing this Wireless Hot Sync without killing  my Palm Centro again? 
    Thank you for any ideas or suggestions to either or both issues.

    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. Using 6.2 the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak. For 6.2, the files are located in the username folder in PalmOSdesktop in my documents.
    The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.

    Here is another link regarding data loss;
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=39503
    The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
    Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.

  • Installing and using Palm Desktop on a Win7 PC without admin rights

    Hi,
    I've been using the Palm Desktop on all of my PC's for the past 15 years. I use a TX for daily replication of updates between my Work PC and Home PC. In addition, I use the DejaOffice solution for replication to an iPod Touch and an iPad Mini.
    Last week my work PC was upgraded to Win7 and I lost my admin privileges on it. I can't install the Palm Desktop any longer. 
    Does anyone have an idea how I could get Palm Desktop to work and replicate on  a Win7 machine wihout admin privileges or whether there is any equivalent solution (Cloud, SAAS) where I could access Palm Desktop on my work PC?
    Thanks,
    Marcus

    Hi PalmForever, Welcome to the HP Support Community.
    AFAIK, you have to have admin piviledges to install Palm Desktop.  The common "work computer" routine was to beg and plead for temporary rights just to install, then they can be revoked back to user.
    I am a State employee here in CA, and I can hear the laughter from the IT dept. if I asked for this.  Hopefully your guys are more lenient...

  • PALM DESKTOP VERSION 6.2.2 DOESN'T WORK, AND PALM ISN'T GOING TO FIX IT!

    Palm Desktop version 6.2.2 won't archive records. I have been trying to make it work for 3 months.
    I finally was able to talk to someone in Tier 3 support at corporate headquarters and they told me there will be no updates for the software.
    THE BOTTOM LINE IS THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT!
    They have essentially abandoned support for anything but the Pre, which I was going to buy, BUT DEFINITELY WILL NOT NOW.
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Palm Desktop 6.2 is not owned by Palm. It is now owned by a company called Access, any updates to the software will be done directly through them not Palm.
    You are using a Verizon Centro on a Windows XP machine, essentially you can use Palm desktop 4.2 or lower and get features back that you are missing (including the archiving records issue).
    Now the Verizon Centro does ship with palm desktop 6.2, but the Sprint Cento and devices such as the Treo 680 and Palm Tx ship with Palm desktop 4.2. If you have a copy of that you can uninstall palm desktop 6.2 and then reinstall 4.2 and be able to sync to that version just fine.
    If you can't get a copy of that version then you can download palm desktop 4.1.4e from palm's website and also get the features.
    Now with that being said. Palm is not dropping all support for everything but the Pre. Support is going to still continue for palm devices that are current (eg Centro, Treo 680 etc).

  • Sync with Outlook 07 on one computer and Palm Desktop on another?

    Hi!  Here goes...Can you set up a Palm Centro to sync with one computer with Outlook (07) and another with Palm Desktop?  One computer is at home (Outlook) and the other is my work laptop which does not use Outlook at this point.  I would like to sync regularly with both.  Also....since my work might eventually switch to Outlook - can I change this syncing option at that point and sync with Outlook 03 on one computer and Outlook 07 on another?
    Thanks for all your assitance!
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Hello dcusuman and welcome to the Palm forums.
    The answer to your questions is yes.  You can sync your Centro to Microsoft Outlook 2007 on your home PC and then sync to Palm Desktop on your work issued computer.  Later on, if your company switches to Microsoft Outlook 2003, you will be able to use a shortcut in your Palm program group to switch the Palm Desktop PIM conduits to the Outlook conduits.
    I am going to assume that you are going to be using Palm Desktop 6.2 that comes bundled on the Centro software CD.  If you do, there is no reason to download or install the Outlook 2007 conduit update from the Palm website.  That update is intended for the older Palm Desktop 4.x and HotSync Manager 6.x.

  • Now Palm Pre Plus, can I remove Palm desktop?

    OK, newbie here.  I just switched (successfully) to Pre Plus on Verizon (from Treo).  All my data (contacts, calendar etc) is in Outlook.  I use Companionlink to sync Outlook-to-Google-to-PalmPre.  Works beautifully, all my data is in both Outlook & on my Pre & syncing back/forth. 
    My question is: I have never used Palm Desktop.  I used to Hotsync my Treo to Outlook.  Can I now remove Palm Desktop altogether? and remove Hotsync Manager?  any reason not to?  One of the reasons I want to get rid of old Palm stuff is that every time I have to restart my computer I get this irritating notice to register my old palm device.  I've always gotten it & want it to stop!  Assume by removing Palm Desktop & Hotsync it will finally go away.  Plus I just like the idea of cleaning house.
    P.S. love this Pal Pre Plus.

    sonnytris1, are you using Companionlink software?
    If not, your question is OFF TOPIC, and has no place being in this thread.   Ask it in a new thread, or one that concerns your issue!

  • WOES: iSync, Palm Pilot, iCal, Missing Sync, Palm Desktop, Ericsson Phone

    Here's my situation, I've been a long time Palm user, and fairly recently (within a year) a new Mac user. I've always used the Palm Desktop on my PC in the past. I've had a Palm Vx for years, and fairly recently (within a year) I bought a Palm Zire 72 and a Sony Ericsson S170a cell phone. I also have an iPod Photo.
    I really would like to sync up my address book, calendars, memos, maybe even photos, with all my devices. I tried using iSync, but nothing seam to work right, so I tried a million things, now everything is messed up.
    For right now, I'm just trying to get my Palm Pilot, the Mac, and the Phone to have all the same calendar events (w the correect times, alarms, colors, and groups).
    I'm really frustrated with trying to get the mac's iCal, the palm pilot, the phone to all have the same calendar info. I really like iCal, and the mac address book, and how well it works with the mail app. As well as subscribing to shared iCals. Especially the holiday ones! I use to have to enter all that info by hand, and have them "other" repeater. The Palm Desktop software's calendar and address book is pretty clunky compared to the Mac apps, or even the Palm Desktop for the PC. But everything is messed up now. I even tried the "missing sync" software and it messed it up even worse.
    Several of my cal events are now GONE from iCal, my Palm Pilot, and my Phone! Many of them have duplicates, some have wrong times. Some have right groups, some don't. The ones that do have right groups, don't have any colors applied to them. If I create certain calendars on the mac and sync with the palm, the groups do not come over. If I create them on the Palm, the groups don't come over on the mac. Getting the colors/groups to match, and all 3 items to sync all at once is a nightmare as well. There were a million conflicts, and chose the correct ones, but some of them would NOT let me pick the one I wanted, it would just keep on saying "conflict".
    What would AT LEAST get me back to the original info on the Palm and the Mac would be to restore from my Palm Desktop software, but I can't get to that because it looks like the missing sync software has messed the conduit/hot sync manager up. I can no longer get to my Palm Desktop condiut settings. I'd re-install the palm software to get it back, but I will probably loose all the data stored in Palm Desktop. This is the ONLY place that has the correct info right now. I'm varry warry about loosing that information. I use to have the PC copy, and the Palm Copy, and it was all right. The Palm Desktop has an import/export feature, but it doesn't seam to carry all the info (like notes attatched to cal events).
    Also, has anyone tried to RESTORE a Palm Pilot not using the Palm Desktop software? When I had to reset my Palm, I tried using iSync or even missing sync to get all my apps, settings, calendars, address books, everything, but it never put the info back on the Palm. This info was always restored with Palm Desktop.
    And let's just say I DO get back all my calendar items back into the Palm, and the Palm Desktop software up and running correctly. What is the proper way to do what I was trying to do in the begining? Which was "just have my Palm Pilot, the Mac, and the Phone to have all the same calendar events (w the right times, alarms, colors, and groups)." I don't seam to have too many problems with contacts. Except work/home fields seam to swap all the time.
    What I'm running:
    G4 PowerMac w/ Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.3)
    Palm Pilot Zire 72s (Palm Software v5.2.8)
    Missing Sync (v5.0.3)
    Palm Desktop Mac (v4.2.1)
    Sony Ericsson S170a Cell Phone
    iPod Photo 60GB
    G4 PowerMac   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   Palm Pilot Zire 72s (Palm Software v5.2.8), Missing Sync (v5.0.3), Palm Desktop Mac (v4.2.1), Sony

    Where to start? Maybe with some background about the synchronization process.
    What Apple hasn't explained outside of the developer community is that you are not actually synchronizing applications [like iCal or the Address Book] or servers [like .Mac] or devices [like your mobile handset or a Palm organizer] when you initiate a synchronization. What you are really doing is triggering an interaction with one or more of these and the SyncServices engine, which maintains what is termed the 'truth database'—or simply, the 'truth'—to which is pushed, or from which is pulled, the current state of data maintained in fields and records for one or more specific data types. Because of the way this process works, it is not necessary to have all synchronized devices available or attached when a synchronization event occurs.
    You can synchronize your SONY Ericsson S710a, a process which exchanges the most current data maintained in the truth with it, and hours later, plug in your iPod, an action which will trigger iTunes to pull the latest data from the truth and write it to the iPod, updating your contact and calendaring records. The same is true for other applications, servers and devices.
    While it all seems clumsy and confusing, it is actually a huge step forward in making synchronization nearly automatic, almost transparent, and virtually mistake proof. It's clear that there is some distance to go before those objectives are achieved, but SyncServices is actually a huge improvement over the prior synchronization technology in iSync 1.5 and earlier.
    That said, there are bugs in SyncServices, and in the applications written by several developers to take advantage of it, along with issues in at least iCal, and probably the Address Book, that complicate what you are trying to achieve. It's possible to do, and once working, should work nearly flawlessly. But, it takes some planning to get there.
    First, a word about backing up your data. It's a good idea to periodically back up contact and calendaring records using the facilities built into iCal and the Address Book which appear in the File menu of each application. These options make easily restorable local snapshots of your data. Should something go terribly wrong with a synchronization event, you can immediately restore your iCal or Address Book data from these files. In addition, it's a good idea to have a more comprehensive backup plan in place, using Backup and .Mac, Backup and rewritable media, and so on.
    To synchronize photos, music and other media files, you'll need to use the Missing Sync for Palm OS. iSync just does not support anything beyond contact, calendaring and task data. To begin the process, you should simplify your device pool, initially concentrating only on getting a complete, accurate set of contact, event and task records pushed to the truth from the Address Book and iCal, and onto your Palm.
    You will have to take an inventory of where the best records reside, and insure that you get them into iCal and the Address Book before attempting to synchronize your Palm, because to do it properly, initially, you will have to overwrite the data on your Palm, replacing it with records from iCal and the Address Book. If you're going to edit them by making additions, changes and deletions, perform all of those in iCal and the Address Book until you have synchronized your Palm device or devices with them. Backup before performing the initial synchronization, and be sure to overwrite each Palm device the first time.
    If you want a historic snapshot of the data on either Palm device before doing this, first follow the instructions provided by Mark/Space to use the standard Palm conduits instead of Mark/Space Contacts, Events and Tasks, and be sure to set each Palm conduit to Palm overwrites handheld in order to transfer the data from your Palm Vx and Zire 72 to the Palm Desktop. Once there, those records can be exported as vCard and vCal files, and easily imported into the Address Book and iCal if you wish to do that. Edit them as you see fit, once they have been transfered. If you elect to do that, you must thereafter turn off these Palm conduits and reconfigure the Missing Sync to use the Mark/Space conduits, again choosing to have your computer replace the contents on each Palm device on the first synchronization.
    Once you've achieved a 'balance' with the records in iCal, the Address Book and your handheld organizers, you can reset the records on your mobile handset. iSync alone performs this function, and later synchronization events with your SONY Ericsson S710a will always be manually triggered, and performed using iSync, not the Missing Sync. Reset once, and subsequently synchronize.
    Anything else you want to add to the mix—.Mac Sync, for example—you can then add, initially performing a reset of your .Mac data, then subsequently synchronizing.
    Synchronization of your iPod is handled by iTunes and only pulls data from the truth, so it need not be reset, as it cannot write changes to the truth which would adversely affect your other devices.

  • 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!
