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/simplyinstall-pilotinstall.shtml ) and which bypasses Palm's software entirely.
Hope this helps!

Just installed Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not start and Firefox safemode does not start either. Using Task manager I do not see if started either. If I create a new profile and start from that window, Firefox starts up. I see no error windows/messages. I do have it listed in my Firewall as an exception program with Permit All.

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Hey lljmustang,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iTunes for Windows. Let’s troubleshoot the iTunes installation by completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all related components (it is important to remove all components in the order listed).

My Desktop Mac Duo will not start up.

My Desktop Mac Duo will not start up. I keep getting a grey screen with the 'no entry' symbol. It can't find the srtat up disk. I cannot get it to start from the original system software CD either.

Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, whichever is applicable. Remove any aftermarket expansion cards. Check the installation DVD for dirt or scratches. Run a cleaning disc through the optical drive. Try again to boot from the DVD. If you can't, you have a hardware fault.

Firefox will not start and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. It will go to a link from Thunderbird once Firefox is open, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

Firefox will not ''start'' and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. A link from Thunderbird will open once Firefox is ''already'' started, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

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.

FP Install Will Not Start after DLM Install

The FP installation will not start after an apparent DLM installation. The DLM appears to install and the control panel shows it is present, but the FP installation will not start. There are no other messages that appear. A restart and reinstallation attempt installs the DLM again, but still no FP install. Using XP SP3 and IE 8.0.
Thx

Hi mont1228,
The Adobe Download Manager (DLM) executes the Flash installer in "silent mode" so you shouldn't see a dialog box. To confirm that Flash was installed successfully, go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and let me know if the animation doesn't appear.
Best regards,

TS3824 iMac will not start and switches off almost immediately

My iMac will not start. It switches off about 3 seconds after pressing the power button. The iMac then starts again, and fails again after 3 seconds. This cycle just repeats.
I have not installed any new software, this seems to happen for no reason.
Any help would be appreciated, as I cannot use my iMac at all.

I thought there was a way to start your iMac in an emergency independent of my hard drive. From a flash drive for example? If this can be done, where can I get the appropriate software to put on the flash drive?
You will need to call AppleCare if you want to speak to them yourself. They don't participate in this forum in any fashion, and no they don't support via email. If you don't have AppleCare you will be charged, otherwise you will need to take it into an Apple Store or AASP. If you don't know how to contact AppleCare or an AASP please start with AppleCare Contact Info
Good luck.

HT4972 my ipad will not start it has an apple in the center and no matter what I do it will not dispeasr, erase or open

MY ipad will not start. I can only see an apple in the center.

Have you tried this?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Firefox will not start and profile manager will not start

This has happened on two accounts on my laptop. I am running windows 7, 64 bit and firefox 18.0. Firefox had been running on this machine for several years without incident, but suddenly when I try to start firefox, it will not start. The little wait icon spins for about a second then disappears without starting firefox. Other browser will start and run. I reboot and when I click on the icon to start firefox nothing happens. I tried to start the profile manager as seen in the knowledge base, but nothing starts either. I switched to another account on this computer and firefox started and ran for about a week, until today where it just stopped working. I have not tried to reinstall firefox as the message boards say this will not help. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help. I had tried starting Firefox in safe-mode before I posted this request, but it did not work. I tried to restore the system to an earlier version, but that made everything worse. Two accounts were unusable and one sort of worked, so I reloaded the operating system and now firefox works, for how long, I don't know. But thanks again for your suggestion.
