Palm Desktop Software for Linux

I recently purchased a Palm Centro (verizon). I successfully sync it with Evolution (sometimes a little glitchy) via the gnome-pilot conduits. However, I have not found a way to sync any software or to sync documents with dataviz software. I see reports that Palm is building or has built a linux OS for their pda's. Is this likely to be compatible with the Centro? Is there or will there be a beta? Is there a desktop software available for Linux? I specifically use Ubuntu 8.10 but will upgrade to 9.04 soon.

The Centro will most likely be the end of the line device for Palm OS. Palm is moving on to a different OS entirely.
I wouldn't hold my breath for an Ubuntu version of Palm Desktop...

Palm Desktop software for Mountain Lion

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my Palm Desktop software will not work. I've searched but have not found an update. Anyone know where I might find one? Thanks!

Palm Desktop isn't compatible with OS X Lion and Mountain Lion. Unfortunately, your only possibility to run that application is to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard (if your Mac came with Snow Leopard or older) in a second volume on the hard drive, so you will be able to start there to use that application

6.2 palm desktop software for windows 8

I just purchased a new tungsten e2 brand new not knowing that the software wouldn't load on windows 8! Is there some way around this so I can use my new palm and all it's devices I can't load 6.2 desktop software on the computer so it's useless hopefully somebody can help please!!

Hello Mech7010, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
The E2 was discontinued many years ago - I'm surprised you found a "brand new" one...
Palm Desktop 6.2 does run on Win8. Please view the sticky post at the top of this section titled, "64bit Windows USB drivers for Palm Desktop". You will need to download and install new drivers. Follow the directions in the post.

Desktop software for Linux

Is there any prospect of desktop software being developed for linux? I don't use Windows.

The nearest I've found is Barry. It's a Linux app which should allow you to backup, restore, charge, and use as a modem.
It would be great if RIM would open up the Blackberry specs if they're not going to make a Linux client.

Palm desktop software for windows 7

I have been using the palm software for the past 10 years and I love it. I see palm is not developing any software for windows 7. can anyone suggest what other software contact mgmt companies have to offer ? outlook does not have the same featues as palm. I am currently using 6.2.2 palm trial software without syncing to a device. i am afraid to use this software in future if i am not able to sync with any other device.
please help
thank you
Post relates to: Palm m505

I too have been using Palm OS software forever, and upgraded my device to a Tungsten E2 several years ago. I just installed the software for Windows 7 64 bit (version 6.2) and all works without problems. The only thing I lost was the color coding of the customized categories I'd created. Synching works with either Bluetooth OR on my older PC's I can keep using the cable synch and original software version (4.1.4) that I've always been using. Not sure it this reassures you or not . . .

Palm Desktop software for Tungsten E wiped out my contacts

My Tungsten E has been dead for a few years, and will not take a charge, so my contacts are no longer available from it in sync mode. However, I had still been using Palm Desktop to manage contacts. Suddenly one day it started asking me for a user name and PW, which it had never done before. It will let me log on, but there are no contacts to be found, and they're not hidden, either. Further, I cannot find my contacts file anywhere in the Palm directory. I've searched everywhere. My computer does not have any viruses, and is fully operational. Every other program is working fine, including some very complex stock/options trading programs. Am I missing something?

Palm Desktop Software for OS 7.1 Mac Intel

Does anyone know of software download that works on a 15" PowerBook Pro, Intel running OS 7.2.1? I have old version and need to download data from my harddrive.

...a 15" PowerBook Pro, Intel running OS 7.2.1?
Please check the model designation.
If it has an Intel processor, it would be a MacBook Pro, not a PowerBook Pro (not sure if the designation PowerBook Pro was ever used).
And, if it is an Intel processor model, it can not be running OS 7.2.1. Nor even OS 9.2.1. It would need to be running some version of OS X - the first ones shipped with OS X 10.4.5, the latest ones with OS X 10.7.2

Palm Desktop software - Fails to open with msg "Error: Failed to open Address Book 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 yesterday, when I attempted to launch the Palm Desktop software, it failed with the message “Error: Failed to open Address Book database”. I think this error was caused by a very ungraceful shut-down of my Win XP system yesterday.
I really do need to use the Palm Desktop software for my address list, calendar, and memo. The problem is that the error with the Address Book database seems to be preventing the Palm Desktop software from initializing.
I am using Palm Desktop 4.0.1 on Windows XP SP3. I do NOT have an export file of the Palm address book or other databases. However, I do have five levels of backup history on my external Maxgor backup drive.
Specifically, on my current c drive I have files in the directory:
C:\Program Files\Handspring\WR\address
            address.bak                  5/16/2009   (from last sync before I broke Visor)
            address.dat                   5/24/2011
            Personal.ABA   11/6/2008
            Unfiled.ABA    3/28/2008
On my most recent backup of my system, there are the following files:
                        address.bak                 5/16/2009   (from last sync before I broke Visor)
                        address.dat                  5/12/2011
                        Personal.ABA   11/6/2008
                        Unfiled.ABA      3/28/2008
I have not listed the four older backup versions.
I haven’t tried any corrective measures yet (I don’t want to make matters worse) and am hoping that someone can guide me along the right path.
Is it possible for me to just rename the “current” address.dat file to something like address.SAV and then copy the Address.dat file file with date of 5/12/2011 into the current directory. Will the software then just use the older version of the data, or must I do something else.
I am grateful for any assistance. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the speedy response. However, I read the article for which you provided the link, and I hve also read many other articles that I found via search, but I don't think these will help me. All of these articles seem to assume that (1) you have a handheld to which you can sync and thereby rebuild the database on the PC, or (2) you have a backup that you created via the Palm Desktop export function. Unfortunately, I have neither and so I don't think any of these solutions will work for me.
I did read with great interest an article that stated that recent versions of Palm Desktop have a built-in function that will repair a corrupted Datebook database. Will this also fix a corrupted Address Book database which is my problem?
So, I downloaded and attempted to install the latest version of Palm Desktop. I was careful to read the instructions that stated NOT to uninstall my current version of Palm Desktop, but to just install the latest version on top of my current Palm Desktop. However, when I attempted to do the installation, the installer software said it could not install on top of my current software and that I should first uninstall my current software.
I have some questions now:
(1) If I uninstall my current version of Palm Desktop, will this destroy my Address Book, Datebook, and Memo databases ( I don't care about the ToDo database)? If so, what can I do to preserve those databases?
(2) Is there really a function built in the recent versions of Palm Desktop that will fix a corrupted database? Is this an "automatic" function that will detect and fix a broken database or is this something I will have to invoke?
Thanks for your help.

I have a problem with my Palm IIIxe syncronization via Keyspan's serial adapter to USB. Prior to installation of 10.4.7 the whole kludge worked (ah, the beauty of Mac hardware & software) and the my old PowerMac G4 connected fine. Now, it fails. The hardware connection is good, as pushing the 'Hotsync' button on my Palm's cradle actives the HotSync Manager 3.1 & a screen pops up informing me of the start. Unfortunately, it does not progress from there & the Palm times out saying there was a failure to communicate.

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 native for Mac with Intel

Is there any chance of Palm Desktop native for Mac with Intel.
To HP/Palm: please supports Palm Desktop for Mac and release a new version native for Mac with Intel. There is not competition for such a software (derived from Apple Claris Organizer). You will sell HP/Palm devices for sure. Actually, the main reason I did that in the past was because I could have the Palm Desktop software for Mac.

Palm Desktop Software crashes immediately upon opening

Hi All,
My Palm Desktop software won't open. When I try to open it (either w/ the icon or the start menu), I see the Palm Desktop logo, then the program seems to open but all I see is a whitescreen, and an almost immediately error message from windows that reads "Microsoft OS Desktop Application has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Then the only option I have is to click "close," and the program closes out. So its impossible to open the softare.
Interestingly, the hotsync operation still works. The desktop application just won't open.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but still the problem persists. I have read a few places to remove the US Robotic registry keys, but after looking them up using REGEDIT off the Run menu, I can't find them....maybe I am not doing a complete uninstall, and am not completely removing these keys? Does anyone have a comprehensive list of registry key locations? Or maybe its a problem with windows? I am using Vista. I tried a system restore back to a point in time when the Palm Desktop was working, but even after that I had no luck.
Does anyone have a suggestion of what I should do?
Thank you!
Post relates to: Palm Z22

If this is your first Palm device, you will not see registry keys for either USRobotics or PalmOne. These entries are relevant to users who have upgraded devices and installed newer versions of Palm Desktop over older installs for the old devices.
There are a number of threads posting complete uninstallation directions; use the search function (up top when you exit this thread) on Registry and you should be able to find one or more of them.

Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent? Help Please!

Hello All,
Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent?
I recently switched from a palm treo to blackberry but didn't anticipate syncing issues with my mac until now. The current BB desktop software seems only compatible with MAC OS 10.5, so I'm in a difficult position.
Please any suggestions are deeply welcomed!!
Thank you.
