Palm Desktop by Access will not sycn with Android using CompanionLink

I formerly used a Palm Treo but I am now using a Droid phone.  I have been using CompanionLink to sync the info between my Droid and the Palm Desktop, but recently experienced some problems with the Palm Desktop.  It began with Palm Desktop not opening and giving me the error message, "Palm Desktop by Access application has stopped working."  I was unable to perform a sync, so I uninstalled Palm and then reinstalled it.  I can now open Palm Desktop and sync my Droid with it; of course since I did a reinstall, all the info was gone from Palm Desktop.  I performed a sync, and the message on the CompanionLink box says indicates it was successful, but only a few days worth of the calendar and none of the other information appears in Palm Desktop.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get Palm Desktop working correctly again so that it shows all the information I am trying to migrate there from my phone and will sync properly in the future?
Thank you.

Just in case it is not clear...  that post was made after I bought the bluetooth adapter and tried following the advice provided in the Vista 64 Hotsync solution found! post.  Again-- my statement of not working is for the following reasons:
1) my PC tells me that the sychronization completed with errors.
2) when I look at the log that the Backup sychronization aborted.
3) It almost invariably tells me that it Failed to backup 1 file(s) and that file is "NetworkProfiles2" through a "Protocol Error: Unknown error. (6410)"
4) many of my contacts (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
5) many of my appointments (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
The information about creating a virtual serial port on my PC comes from my actual palm itself.  The palm info is in the HotSynch verbage and it tells me to contact my computer manufacturer.  In doing so however they have no idea how to do this and Palm does not either.  I am still working with HP on trying to resolve that part of it but I am thinking from the hours of research that Palm wants me to create another COM port but again the help I am finding on this is beyond my pay grade so to speak...  you can check out the following link and try to help me if you like:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms885792.aspx
So... any ideas my friend?  It appears that some Vista 64-bit users are having success with a bluetooth synch but I have tried emailing those that claim to have been able to do this with no luck.  I am not having any luck (I hope my outline above is clearer)-- and no one has seemed to had any luck recently.
I would love to make this work-- I bought this phone for this functionality.

  • Palm Desktop Quick install will not start and has no solution

    When starting quick install, i get informed that 'an unidentified programme wants to access my PC' its the quick install .exe , however when i grant the programme safe i get informed that palm desktop quick install has stopped working and i will be notified if there is a solution.... which inevitably there is not! Any idea's?

    barrybaillie,
    These warnings sound like the Vista's UAC kicking in. If this is the case, you should know that Quick Install does not work in Vista.
    The downloadable Desktop 6.2.2 for Vista has a replacement to Quick Install that does work - but the Desktop itself is truly terrible and loses many other functions (Expense, NotePad, VersaMail, colour-coded events, Birthdays and Anniversaries) that you may have come to expect from your Desktop.
    If your current Desktop is otherwise working as expected, you should know that an alternative to Quick Install already exists on your machine and this does work on Vista. The easiest way to access it is to right-click the program you wish to install, then  > Send to... > Palm Powered Handheld. This is a shortcut to the program instapp in the Palm folder.
    An installation window will pop up (a UAC confirmation *may* pop up and can be dismissed) showing the chosen program ready for Hotsync. At this point you may also Add other programs/files. Hotsync when ready.
    A further alternative that I understand works with Vista is the freeware Pilot Install (  http://www.freewarepalm.com/utilities/simplyinstal​l-pilotinstall.shtml ) and which bypasses Palm's software entirely.
    Hope this helps!

    When I plug my iPhone 5c into the USB port windows 7 does not recognize it nor does iTunes. The USB port works with other devices and the iPhone sync's on other pc's. I have uninstalled iTunes and all other apple software and reinstalled iTunes with no luck. I have noticed that the Apple Mobil Dev Support software is grayed out in the install/uninstall center on windows. Not sure where to get that to manually reinstall it? Thanks

    You will need to update you iTunes version. iTunes 8.0 only supports up to like iOS 4 lol. but once you have done that it should work

  • Original Wireless Mouse will not pair with computers using OSX (10.6.2)

    I have two original Apple Wireless Mouses (Mice?) [Model No: A 1015 EMC No: 1938] neither of which am I able to pair with either of my Macs (Mac Pro & MacBook Pro). I believe there is some kind of incompatibility issue with these devices and the Snow Leopard OS.
    When I try to set up the wireless mouse using Bluetooth Setup Assistant a connection is established, but the pairing attempt is unsuccessful. I have tried using all of the Passcode Options, but each time the pairing attempt is unsuccessful.

    I am having the exact same issue. After switching batteries last week, I was no longer able to pair my original Wireless Mouse (model A1015) either. I'm also running 10.6.2 and never had this problem before.
    When setting up the mouse, it does appear in the Bluetooth connection panel, correctly says "Connecting" but then stalls in the "Connected" phase and then times out with "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful".
    I tried restarting my Mac and leaving the batteries out of the mouse for a day, to no avail. I just repaired my Apple Wireless Keyboard successfully, so this seems to be mouse-specific.

  • Treo 755 will not sync with my computer anymore

    I have a Treo 755 (Palm os) and it will not sync with my computer anymore. I have a PC with Win XP pro SP3. The last time it sync'ed was about two months ago, I had to fiddle with the connection before it would work. Now when I plug the phone in and push the button, the computer chimes but that is all that it will do. After it times out the phone gives an error message. I am thinking that maybe it is the cable or phones contacts that are bad. (It has always been hard to unplug the cable from the phone). I have also tried reinstalling the software with no luck. How can I check the connections, is there another way to sync with my computer?
    Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Telus Mobility)

    It said that the connection between my handheld and desk top could not be established. After I posted yesterday I looked though the web site and found were is said to blow out any dust from the terminals on the handheld so I did and it worked. This morning I tried it again and it will not connect. It must be one of the connections either on the handheld or on the cable. Is there a way of testing either? The computer is recognizing the handheld but it just will not communicate.

  • IPhone 5 will not sync with iCal

    Thanks. There is another thread that shares a solution that involves deleting ical Library cache files and Preference files.  I"ll see if that works.  ICloud shouldn't be a factor in my case since I don't use it and it's "off" in Preferences. I am encouraged that I don't need to use it to fix this issue based on other's experiences, but we'll see!

  • Centro will not sync with Palm desktop - Calendar and/or Contacts

    I have used a Palm device for many years. Acquired a new Centro. Upon installation of Palm Desktop (on Windows XP) that came with Centro, all contacts, calendar, to do, memos, etc transferred to the Centro during installation. 
    Subsequent changes to contacts and/or calendar on Centro are not syncing with Palm desktop when Hot Sync is performed. Hot Sync starts and appears to complete normally. To Do list and memos appear to sync just fine. Have tried changing conduits to have Centro overwrite desktop. Have uninstalled/reinstalled Desktop many times.

    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    I have a Centro/Verizon Wireless using Versamail with accounts established for personal POP and Exchange e-mail synchronization.  The latter account is for work.  Previously I owned a Treo 650p using Versamail. 
    When I first installed Palm OS Desktop and synched to my Centro device, it was on a Windows XP home computer, and no Versamail accounts were defined.  First I downloaded and installed the Versamail version which allowed Exchange synchronization.  I exported the Treo650p contacts list to a disk file, and imported it onto the Windows XP home computer into the Palm OS Desktop installed with the Centro-supplied CD.  This synched the imported contacts list to the Centro fine.  After I defined all the POP and Exchange accounts, synchronization with the office Exchange contacts list worked fine, and still does.  Synchronization with the windows XP home computer for contacts seems to still be ok, too regardless of the MS Exchange Versamail account commingling with my personal POP accounts.  Maybe the install sequence is overriding the previous posts' notation that MS Exchange mail definition will override synch with Palm OS Desktop?
    The problem now is I have a different/second home computer that's Vista os.  I installed the Palm OS Desktop and synch with the Treo.  The contacts list is not synching to this second home computer, maybe because I didn't follow the exact same sequence as for the Windows XP pc?  I can still synch my Centro with my Windows XP pc and that includes contacts.
    Is there a way on this second pc to override the MS Exchange contacts override for synchronization without having to go through the exact same install sequence as occurred on the Windows XP machine?

  • Palm TX - Desktop DateBook Empty & Now it seems it will not sync with device.

    Hello Palm Forum Members,
    I have Windows 7 and I sync my Palm TX to DeskTop 6.2.2 via bluetooth.  Two weeks ago I loaded my DeskTop DateBook and it was blank.  I have made several attempts to sync my device to the desktop in hopes to recover my datebook\calendar and it seems that the synchronization stalls during the datebook\calendar updating.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the desktop software, I have also imported the datebook file....however it was also blank.
    Any assistance given will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance :-)

    There may be database corruption causing the issue. Click on the following link for the program called DbFixiT. This program has a trial version that you can download and install on your Palm OS device. The trial version will scan for database corruption and then report the corruption. You can then find the records causing the problem and fix them yourself or you can purchase the program and have it automatically fix the records.
    http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm
    To install the program, set all conduits to "do nothing" except quick install or install if using Palm desktop 6.2.
    After you install the program on the handheld, run the scan and also scan for Blobs in the calendar.
    After you clean-up the database on the handheld, set the conduits in hotsync to handheld overwrites desktop and perform a hotsync.
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a separate 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://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb2/common/articl​e/28734_en.html
    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.
    For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.hpwebos.com webpage.

  • Palm Desktop by Access 6.2.2: Palm IIIxe won't sync to WinXP but Zire Z22 will

    No device
    Palm IIIxe with OS 3.5.3 and Z22 with OS Garnet 5.4.9 and Palm Desktop by Access 6.2.2 on a WinXP SP2 box. Z22 appears to sync correctly and the IIIxe SAYS it's syncing but the Palm desktop account is blank.
    I think I need to roll back to an earlier version of Palm desktop, e.g. 4.14. If so, can I first uninstall 6.2.2?
    The Palm support website says, "Do not un-install previous versions of Palm Desktop. If you have an existing version of Palm Desktop on your computer, leave it as-is, and install this version on top of it."
    Thanks for any help.

     Your Palm IIIxe wont show the pims because hotsync 6.2.2 only allows the newer pim format. There is a free addon application from Pimlico called PalmHotsyncSetup that may allow you to sync with it.  PalmHotsyncSetup

  • Palm Centro will not sync with pTunes (Sprint)

    I have searched high and low for some answers but to no avail.
    So here is my problem that I couldn't find answers to on pockettunes.com. I have purchased an SD card to play .mp3's on my phone and the only way I can get them to the card is by using the Desktop Installer. When I start pTunes on the phone while hooked into the USB cable it repeatedly plays the connect/disconnect sound randomly.  I have no trouble at all using HotSync to backup all my address book and images but will not sync with pTunes. All my settings are correct as far as I read and I have all the latest versions of the required software. I tried to use the browser to download a ringer from the SD card and it says the file size is 0kb and will not play, but it plays fine in pTunes. So my main concern is with the pTunes sync. It just doesn't won't to acknowledg the device as being connected.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Check out either MusicTones or MiniTones, both free programs that work similarly.  Available from freewarepalm.com.
    They will scan your SD card for songs, then let you edit out a slice right on your Centro.  You choose the Start and Stop locations of the "slice".  When satisfied, click the "Add" button, and it will appear in your list of Ringtones.
