Palm Desktop - Calender Language

I have just installed Palm Desktop for Centro and my headings and dates for the Calender - specifically the Days and Date are in French. I have reviewed the settings and it is all in English. Can this be changed? Mac 10.5.x usb connection.
Thanks

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
I'm guessing you may have downloaded the french version of Palm Desktop. I could not locate any settings that would allow you to change it to French except with addresses under preferences. This however did not replicate the issue you are having. I would recommend uninstalling Palm desktop and reinstalling the english version. Here is a link: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=4604,E=0000000000344026317,K=3376,Sxi=11,case=obj(3...)
Don't forget the last " ) ", just copy and paste the link.

Palm Desktop language encoding

I have installed PiLoc in hebrew on my Palm T|X.
Problem is, Palm Desktop doesn't seem to support whatever encoding PiLoc uses for its hebrew. I assume it's either UTF8 or 8859-8.
Is there a way to set the encoding in Palm Desktop?
Post relates to: Palm TX

It has been a while but I haven't needed hebrew support until now again. I checked with piloc support and they tell me that there should be no problem as they use windows 1255 encoding. How can I change the default encoding for palm desktop?

Palm Desktop Crash - unable to sync with handheld PalmOne Tungsten E2

Hello, this may have been addressed before, but I am not sure. A couple weeks ago I was in Palm Desktop when it just froze. Once I got out of it, I found that about 99% of my calendar datebook had been lost. I have tried to sync it again with my handheld Tungsten E2 to try to reinstall my info from handheld to desktop - but it just gets stuck on syncing the datebook. I had a computer geek look at it and he was unable to help me. I guess I could live without my former appointments and re-enter my future ones, but I can't sync anymore, it keeps hanging up at datebook. Any suggestions? I really appreciate your thoughts.....BTW I have a MAC with Vista installed through Bootcamp.

Hi,
Basically, the sync will stuck at Datebook when there are some corrupted Calender events on Palm device.
We have 2 options to fix this issue.
1) Hard Reset.
2) Use DbScan application to remove the corrupted calender events on Palm.
As many wouldn't like to do the hard reset as sometimes all the Calender events would be on Palm.
Hence, I suggest DbScan.
It's easy to fix the issue.
First we have to set the DateBook to Do Nothing in the HotSync Manager window.
To get to the HotSync Manager window follow the below steps:
Right click on the HotSync Manager in the Windows System Tray(on the lower right corner of your computer) and click on Settings.
This will open the HotSync Manager window.
And then click on Applications.
Make sure you select the correct sync user name in the HotSync Manager window at the top center.
Double click on Datebook.
check the box "Do Nothing"
And click on OK and Done button.
Now install the dbScan software from the below link.
http://www.palmgear.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=software.showsoftware&PartnerREF=&siteid=1&prodID=2351
Download the software with Guest user name.
Double click the dbScan.prc file it will goes to Install Tool.
Peform the sync.
This will install DBScan application on Palm.
Then, follow the below steps on your Palm device.
1.Tap on Dbscan application on the device.
If you see any message saying, it's an older version and you need to install a new version. Please ignore the message and go to next step.
2. Choose the option other.
3.Press the menu button on the device.
4.From the options menu choose "Remove all the deleted records"
5.Now choose the option "Palm source".
6.From the options menu again choose "Remove all the deleted records"
7.Now choose the option "Palm one".
8. From the options menu choose "Calender DB Blob check".
9.Tap on "Yes to all"
10. Try performing HotSync now.
This will fix the Datebook sync issue.

Can't sync Palm with Mac through iSync, only syncs with Palm Desktop

I have an older Palm Tungsten T3 that I use basically only to run a medical application that I need at work (ePocrates, which has its own conduit and auto-updates itself with hotsyncs). I haven't tried to sync it to my Mac for a long time. I use iCal for my calendaring needs, sync it with my iPod, and ignore the old stuff that's on the Palm, which I hardly ever even sync.
Today I had to reinstall the Epocrates software, and decided while I was at it I'd try to get the Palm syncing with the Mac (iCal, contacts, etc) again because it would be nice for it to show the same calendar data.
I reinstalled the newest version of Palm Desktop from scratch. Installed the ePocrates software on top of it. I have iSync 2.4. My Palm was not listed as a device initially. I chose "Enable Palm OS Syncing" from the menu; iSync then went through a series of steps in which it disabled several conduits (presumably to no longer sync with the Palm Desktop), then told me to enable the iSync Palm conduit through the HotSync manager, which I did.
I now show the Palm as a device on iSync, but it has a yellow caution icon over it and I'm not sure why. Clicking on it shows an options dialog. I chose for the first sync I wanted to erase everything on the device and then sync with the Mac. My syncs appear to work, but when the data is checked it seems to sync only with Palm Desktop. The old junky data on the Palm was not erased as requested. Newer calendar events and contacts from my Mac have not made it to the Palm. The ePocrates auto update conduit is working fine but that's the only part that is.
Any idea what's incompatible, or what I'm doing wrong here?

I have The Missing Sync and used it to sync my palm TX. I am now in the process of trying to get iCal going properly again. No longer have any calender views in iCal and the week views don't show until I have opened a month view and then go back to the week view. Very bizzare. Also have a heap of untitled calendar views in the drop down list option when looking at the info on any event - these calendar views are not accessible anywhere else though.
I'm not sure if it is Missing Sync or something I did wrong at present. Will also throw the problem to the Missing Sync people to see what they say. Will let you know. It seemed to work really well without needing the palm desktop!

Desktop Calender not Sync with handheld

I cannot get my Desktop calender to sync with my palm. I read previous posts on this problem and found one that would help but cannot follow his instructions. My handheld is using Outlook , my information is in Desktop calender. How do I change the settings to have it read Desktop.
Judy
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

If you want to change the sync to Palm desktop instead of Outlook, on the PC go to start, programs, palm, pim conduit sync and change the sync to Palm desktop. If you don't see pim conduit sync, you will need to use the install CD and then during the install process, select Palm desktop instead of Outlook.
You stated the calendar will not sync, are you getting Olerr messages in the hotsync log for Outlook calendar?

Synching issues between Palm Desktop 4.1.2 and Sun ONE Synch 1.1p2

This has been vaguely mentioned in a thread elsewhere. I thought I'd document my issues for anyone else searching.
Downloaded and isntalled PD 4.1.2. Synched fine with my Palm Vx.
Installed Sun's synch software 1.1p2. Synched with Calender Server. Synch between Palm and Calender directly failed. Synch between PD and Cal server appeared to go through, but nothing actually synched.
After this, synching between Palm and PD began to go wrong - date book wouldn't be synched, then tasks stopped, progressively getting worse.
Reinstlaled PD 4.1.4 and Palm and PD could synch again.
Uninstalled PD 4.1.4, installed an older version, 4.1, found on CNET's download site. Reinstalled Synch software, everything now synchs fine.
Thank God for that!
Chris

4.1.4 was originally designed for Palm OS 4.x devices, while 4.2 and 4.1.4e (Extended) were designed for PalmOS 5.x devices using the new PIM programs (Contacts and Calendar vs. Address Book and Datebook).

Viewing Chinese characters in old Palm Desktop in Mac OS X 10.5.8?

Hello.
My client used his old Windows 2000 SP4 Dell PC for his Palm Treo 680 desktop, Hotsync (backups too), and Palm Desktop with English and Chinese data (characters with CJKOS -- http://www.dyts.com/en/products.html ). He finally switched to his 3+ years old
MacBook Pro with updated Mac OS X 10.5.8 since Palm finally released software for it compared a few years ago. However, Mac's Palm Desktop, iCal, Addressbooks, etc. do not show these Chinese characters.
Do you know how do we display Chinese characters in these program? Other programs like Office 2008, Firefox v3.6.25, etc. show and input Chinese characters just fine. I know we have to use TwinBridge CJK/Chinese Partner v6.0 in Windows 2000 SP4 to show them so I assume it is similiar for Mac OS X. TwinBridge doesn't seem to have a Mac OS X product port. Is there a similar program (free preferred)?
Thank you in advance.

Hi, no idea what Palm uses, but on Mac Apps might do a Get Info on them & see what Languages are checked...
The languages options were greyed out and could not add languages, so I had to log into the administrator-level account to add but Finder asked me where which I didn't know. I only saw the common/popular foreign languages (French, Spanish, and German) for Palm Desktop. No Chinese ones. I tried Apple's Address Books, and I saw Chinese and they were checked in non-administrator account. I guess that's not the problem.

Palm Desktop only displays media

Have TX. After register cleaning and defragmentation on laptop the Palm Desktop program only diplays Media and no longer calender, contacts, etc? Reinstalled vs 6.2 twice. No better. TX itself works fine. What is wrong?

Desktop calender disappeared-Tungston E

HELP! All of the desktop calender information - phone contacts, addresses, schedules - on the home computer disappeared. Anyone have any ideas of how to recover info, or if it can be. Any suggustions welcomed. Thanks
Post relates to: Tungsten E

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. On Vista the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak.
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.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=26674
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.

Palm desktop doesn't show address book or memos or others

No device
When I tried to sync my Tungsten E2, recieved an error message (could not establish communications - check your settings). On a support website, it suggested the first step I try is to download and install the latest software. I did and installed it. Palm did its sync with no problem. HOWEVER, when I ran the Palm desktop, only the Calender, Media, and Note Pad would display their data. In the log, it showed that all of the apps uploaded their data.
After re-installing the software two more times, now it only displays pictures from Media, and nothing else! What gives? and how can I correct this?

It's really up to you, but there are some caveats that you should be aware of.
With regard to synchronization, the Palm Desktop is not now (and never will be) Sync Services aware. Virtually all applications which engage in synchronization—under Mac OS X 10.4 or later—are, or soon will be. This renders the Palm Desktop effectively useless or, at the very least, outmoded, as a synchronization tool.
The Address Book is integrated to degree with Mail, and will be more so under Mac OS X 10.5, scheduled for release in about 6 months. The Palm Desktop is not.
I use the Address Book for contacts, iCal or calendars, the Missing Sync for Palm OS to synchronize them and to synchronize memos, AvantGo content, selected iPhoto and iTunes files, along with such mundane applications as airline schedules. And, I use Mail.
I'm no fan of Microsoft, but if Outlook worked well for you in the PC world, you should consider Entourage, with it's Sync Services aware capabilities, it's ability to synchronize contacts with the Address Book, calendars with iCal and memos through .Mac Sync. It is, of course, an integrated application including Mail capabilities, and is generally used as an alternative to Mail, the Address Book and iCal.

Palm Desktop Does Not sync completely

All of a sudden when I bring up the Palm Desktop only the Media and install applications are loaded. There is no calender, contacts, memos or tasks. The phone syncs as it always does. I have reinstalled Palm desktop several times and make sure I am syncing to Palm desktop and not Outlook but to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks

On a lark, I uninstalled 6.2.2 Desktop and corresponding HotSync, cleaned the registry, erased all the associated directories, rebooted, and then downloaded 4.1.4 desktop (although I had been told it would not work with the Centro), installed it, and synced. What do you know, it worked!
I now have a desktop which remembers changes made on it, and updates to changes made on the handheld.

Palm desktop calendar - in month view, event times are in wrong order!

I use Palm Desktop 4.1.4 on my Windows XP machine (I don't own a PDA). I enter my appointments in Week view and they look fine, but when I go to Month view (I want to print this view), the events for a given day show up in the wrong order!
For example, on one day I see:
9a Event
10:30a Event
2p Event
12p Event
and on the next day I see:
9a Event
2p Event
10a Event
I tried changing things in Options and Preferences - no luck. I have messed around with it and can't figure out any weird pattern it might be sorting by (I've tried re-entering appointments to see whether it sorts by the last time they were entered/edited, and looked into whether it was sorting by category, length of event name, first digit of the time, length of time, alphabetically by event name, by whether it repeats/has a location/has a note/has an alarm/was entered by clicking once and typing or by right-clicking). It just seems baffling, and it definitely seems like a bug, since of course you'd want your events sorted by time.
Does anyone know what's going on or have this problem?
Thanks!
Post relates to: None

I had looked at this in response to another post, and didn't notice the same problem. But then I went back further and noticed it sure enough...it's only occasional.
I haven't done any kind of analysis as you have apparently done, mostly because I don't really use the desktop application except occasionally.
Thought maybe it sorts repeating events differently than single events, but I've seen it both ways, so that doesn't seem to be it.
It doesn't bother me enough, but it certainly seems like it would warrant an email support request to Palm, to see if they have an answer.

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?

Can't get Palm Desktop app to react after syncing with Yahoo mail calendar info

Attempted to move calendar from Yahoo mail page to Palm Desktop in my Macbook--
Yahoo page says "don't use Intellisync" --thre is a new program called Autosync--but it turns out it doesn't work for Macs --clearly, many instructions on Yahoo paged do not apply to Macs--
find this is a common problem on many sites--assumption that all are PC folks.
Imagine how things will go if Microsoft actually buys Yahoo!
Anyway--Created Calendar as a CV file and imported to Palm Desktop--
now cannot get program to run correctly--it appears all of the calendar info was imported to calendar day on which I imported it--so there is a huge amount of info being processed whenever I attempt to interact with the app.--the dreaded beachball appears and spins endlessly--
Have re-installed Palm app. (4.2.1) but problem seems to be imbedded, and re-occurs.
Is there any solution except to dump the entire app. from my hard drive, lose my archive et. al.
and re-synch from my Tungsten E2???

Palm Desktop 6.2 crashing on launch with Vista

I've been using Desktop 6.2 with Vista for several months. There seems to have been some bad old data on my TX as Desktop crashes when I go to month view in the datebook for August 2008 and earlier, but otherwise fine.
Starting last week, the application will not fully open with a box stating "Palm Desktop by Access has stopped working" within 1/2 second hitting open. I've been able to hotsync with no problem and no change. I removed the application and reinstalled after re-downloading from Palm. I've also tried logging on as an administrator with no help.
Anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks.

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.
