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.

64-bit Windows 7 Pro's Windows XP Mode, Palm Desktop 4.1.4 sync with Palm Vx?

I last talked about Palm Desktop compatibility with 64-bit Windows at http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&message.id=37767. Fortunately, I haven't replaced my laptop yet, so I am in the enviable(?) position of planning the acquisition of a spanking new machine with 64-bit Windows 7 Pro (sidenote: likely a 14" ASUS). However, my PDA is still Palm Vx, which requires Palm 4.1.4, which requires 32-bits, which is provided in Windows 7 Pro by its Windows XP Mode. Has anyone heard any word of whether XP mode allows seamless sync'ing through the serial or IR ports? Serial is most preferrable, of course, due its speed, lack of headaches with line-of-sight alignment, and the fact that it needs to be docked anyway for recharging.
I'm not sure if it's as dependent on the Palm Desktop version as much as it depends on the Hotsynch Manager, which is 4.1.0. There are probably certain Hotsynch Manager versions that are compatible with Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and Palm Vx.

Corrupt datebook file - palm desktop crashes

I suddenly began having touble opening my palm desktop in Vista. I downloaded the new version without improvement. I then found this thread, which helped to some degree:
http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&thread.id=22183
I posted my problem there, but it maybe it is not getting viewed, so I will repost my problem here. It looks like my datebook file is corrupt, and I don't know how to fix it.
Here is the whole series of events:
Based on the directions by HardBeatZ from the link above, I deleted the datebook and address files from my palm folder. The desktop software then launched fine. I put the memo app as default. At this time I could access the (emtpy) address and datebook parts without problems. I then put back the address.mdb and datebook.mdb files and ran corrupted file tool - it didn't find any errors. When I go to the datebook on the desktop, the program crashes. (It goes to the addresses just fine). I deleted the datebook file again and renamed the datebook.mdb.bak file to be the datebook.mdb file. The program worked fine (could access datebook on desktop). I then hotsynched again....and crash city when going to the datebook. I tried re-running the corrupted file tool wihtout success. What now? It seems like the current datebook file, when downloaded from my treo, is corrupt (works fine in the treo, btw).
The datebook backup file is about 1 month, old, BTW, but I use the datebook fairly regularly and would rather not lose the changes over the last month if possible. Suggestions?

The next step is one that I normally wouldn't recommend, but I think in your case it might be necessary. Since you have everything backed up on one computer. Just delete everything that is in June on your Vista machine (you can do this by deleting everything on your handheld and syncing with handheld overwrites desktop) then see if June opens fine, if it does just manually put your data back in. I know it is a lengthy process, but I'm out of ideas
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)
I was thinking of doing that, but wanted to see if you had any more tricks up your sleeve! I compromised, and went through the my June events and deleted the ones I did not care about necessarily keeping. I left the important ones. I figured it was worth a shot - if things worked, I was done. If not, I would keep deleting until the month of June was event-free.... I am happy to say, that one of those less important events must have been the problem, because now the desktop software works fine!
Thanks again for all your help.

Anyhelp would be great. Thanks.

I think you're right. The Missing Sync web site doesn't mention Palm Desktop.
You could investigate some other sync products. Some of these list Palm Desktop as a supported sync destination:

Palm Desktop software - Fails to open with msg "Error: Failed to open To Do List database"

In July 2009 I dropped my trusty Visor on a tile floor and it stopped working. So, in the meantime I have been using only the Palm Desktop software.
Just a couple days ago, when I attempted to launch the Palm Desktop software, it failed with the message “Error: Failed to open To Do List database”. I think this error may have been caused by a very ungraceful shut-down of my Win XP system the day before.
I really don’t care about the To Do List data since I really don’t use it --- in fact, I haven’t used it in many months. However, I really do need to use the Palm Desktop software for my contacts, calendar, and memo. The problem is that the error with the To Do List database seems to be preventing the Palm Desktop software from initializing.
Just guessing, I saved the todo.dat and todo.bak files by renaming them, and then renamed the todo.bak file to todo.dat. Then I attempted to launch the Palm Desktop application, but it failed with the same error “Error: Failed to open To Do List database”.
I also tried renaming all of the todo files so that none had a name of todo.dat or todo.bak. The result is that the Palm Desktop software still will not start up.
I think I am using Palm Desktop 4.0.1, at least that is what the help text file seems to tell me.
I am grateful for any assistance. Thank you.

Your on the correct path by saving the data by renaming the files. But to resolve this error we need to remove the data all together. Since you no longer need this data if you just delete it then it should not matter. If Palm Desktop is giving this error but will not open I doubt that the data can be recovered in any event.

Palm Desktop crashes after updating windows

Palm Desktop crashes on startup since I updated Windows XP (yesterday). Palm Desktop prompts me for password (as set up) but crashes immediately after that which invokes the odious Windows message: "Palm Desktp has detected a problem and must close - send message report?". I already tried unistalling and reinstalling Palm Desktop without success. Does anybody have any pointers? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your data has been corrupted, possibly your calendar,
There is a few things to try.
1. If your default calendar view is the month, I would do this step first. Change your date on your computer to two months in the future or past, then try to relaunch palm desktop. Let me know if it launches and I will tell you how to fix that.
2. If your default calendar view is not the month, the do this step. Locate your user folder it is in my documents/palm os desktop/variation of hotsync id
Once you find the hotsync id folder. Grab that and move it to your desktop so it is no longer in the palm os desktop folder. Then try to relaunch palm desktop
Let me know if either one of these steps let you open palm desktop then we will go into fixing them.

Unable to sync with Palm Desktop

Here's my problem. I haven't been able to sync with my elderly Palm IIIC for about 2 years. Now my daughter gave me her Palm Zire 31. All my data are in my Palm Desktop on my iMac G5. Somewhere along the way I tried using iSync and got a bunch of stuff in my Mac address book. So I did a hard reset on the Palm Zire 31, then successfully hot-synced on my G5. But my nice address from my Palm Desktop file isn't coming over, just the crummy one from the Mac address book I think. My Palm Desktop address file has all the names in categories etc. I have tried making sure I have the correct conduits for syncing with the Palm desktop, and I tried telling the Sync operation to override with the Mac contents. I just want to move all my address data from my Palm Desktop on my Mac to the Zire. Any help here?

If you want to move all of the address data from your Palm Desktop to your handheld organizer, there is only one way to do it: using the Palm-supplied conduits to do so, not iSync and it's built-in iSync Palm Conduit. The transfer of all of the data from the Palm Desktop, including categories, simply is not supported by iSync or the iSync Palm Conduit.
The Missing Sync for Palm OS is an alternative, but you have to plan carefully how you do this, as you must first move the data from the Palm Desktop to either your device—or, through an export/import process—directly into both iCal and the Address Book. iCal task data doesn't survive this process, only calendaring data. In either event, categories don't transfer.
You'll have to perform some manual categorization on both your device and in the Address Book, and iSync will not support these changes. It won't reverse or otherwise modify them, it simply won't synchronize them. This is the case because you must overwrite the data on your handheld the first time you use the Missing Sync for Palm OS to synchronize.
The Missing Sync for Palm OS will, but only when using Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, and an advanced Palm device with Palm OS 5.4 or later on board, as I recall. Only the Z22 would qualify, if that contention is true. Here is a list of Palm OS versions tied to specific handheld devices:

My Treo 600, with Palm OS 5.2.1, does not qualify as an advanced device and does not support categorization in the same manner as later devices do.

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.

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?

Palm Desktop crashes when viewing one month in monthly view

Hi--this is a weird problem. Never seen it before.
--My Treo 680 (Win XP SP3), with Palm Desktop 6.2.2 seems to sync fine. I make changes in the Treo, it appears on the desktop.
--Also, I can view and edit the desktop in DAY view.
I normally default to monthly view though--and when I try to edit anything in a monthly view the Palm Desktop immediately crashes.This also seems to happen only with one month--July--where I recently added a lot of new appointments.
I ran the "check" tool for corrupted records, came up clean.
The data seems to be there and be safe and sync, but every time I try to access this one month from monthly view--it crashes.
Any advice, suggestions?
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

Your link generated an error message..but I did find a couple of relevant threads. Thanks..
--I have no appointments spanning midnight, so I presume that's not the problem
--I'm reluctant to downgrade versions. I use the same software on my Vista laptop as on my XP desktop and I'd like to confuse the issue or go through degrading both.
The dbfix program was more interesting. It found for Calendar: one appointment in several places that it said "blob goes beyond end of record."
I don't know what that means, but it was particularly odd as this particular appointment was repeated in multiple years as long ago as 1969, it said--which goes beyond the ability of the desktop software even to access; certainly I wasn't using a Palm in 1969, and obviously it didn't exist. So I deleted all of them but for that 1969 one since the desktop will only go back to Jan 1970.
After deleting what I could delete on the desktop, I sync'd.
Didn't help.
I ran the program again and the exact same older--presumbably fictitious-appointments from old years like 2007 were still coming up as checked errors. Hmmm. Apparently deleting them on the desktop helped not at all. So now I deleted one on the 680 as a test.
I sync'd. Immediately crashed the Palm, but when it came came back up. I doublechecekd--that 2007 record was now gone from everything, desktop and PDA. I syncd again,,,went through fine this time.
Ran dbfix again to check--just coming with that one 1969 inexplicable error. Ran Palm Desktop now. Ran the Options/Tools/Check record on the desktop (included utility) just to be sure--no errors.
The final test--running Palm Desktop back in monthly view. Immediately crashed again.
Shrug!
Now, I don't mind buying the dbfix program if that'll do it, but does this seem like something it needs to go through and might actually fix, as opposed to my manually deleting the things?
