Palm Desktop undo; When is it possible?
I have Palm TX and use Palm desktop(4.2.0). In Palm desktop there is undo icon and 'Palm Help' says undo does "Reverse the previous action, if possible". But I couldn't do any 'undo'(the icon is always grayed out). When is it possible? Thanks.

Here's an example. Go into Calendar and type some text in one of the time slots. The undo should be avail now.

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? -
What to do with Palm Desktop data when I upgrade to Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard
I have an old Tungsten handheld device but only use Palm Desktop on my Mac. I have a lot of data stored in this format and do not want to lose this functionality when I upgrade to Snow Leopard, which, I understand, does not support Palm Desktop. Ideally, I'd like to export my Palm Desktop data (address book, memos, to do list, and calendar) to another software package that will run on Snow Leopard. I do not need any syncing capability. What are my options?

Palm Desktop Crash when click the Month Tab or Media
I have a new Centro and have loaded the Desktop v 6.2.2. I was running an older Destrop with my Tungsten but upgraded.
Since the upgrade, I get some strange behavior with the desktop.
First, when I open the calendar and then click on the month tab (in lower left corner), the system will either hourglass or will simply crash out. This is consistent. The other tabs work fine (Day, Week and Year), but not the Month tab.
Second, when I try to go into the Media function on Desktop, it will hourglass and never open Media. I'm then forced to close desktop because the system is locked. This problem is also consistent.
The last issue has to do with desktop system colors. The older version of Destop offered different colors to indicate business, personal or other categories. With 6.2.2 there are no color choices and everything is gray. Where did the colors go?
So far I like the Centro, but have not been impressed with the new Palm Desktop at all....
Any help is greatly appreciated.
PS---I'm using XP Pro Service Pack 3

Palm desktop freezes when going to dates in 2009
My palm desktop application freezes when I open the calendar and try to go to date in 2009. Any ideas what this is all about?
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)
Message Edited by phlegmon27 on 12-17-2008 03:42 AMSomething set in 2009 is corrupt. Download DBFixIt from http://www.pimlicosoftware.com and search the forums for 'corrupt calendar entry' to find the instructions. The Palm OS Data Mangler Manager has a tendency to bug out sometimes. This is probably the the 10,000th time somebody has had a data corruption that causes their calendar/memos/tasks/[insert PIM app here] to crash.

Palm Desktop freezes when I do New Memo or Edit Memo
I have Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2 on my Win 7 64 bit machine. Everything was fine for years until today. Now when I click on New Memo or Edit memo the edit memo window does not show up. If I click anywhere on the Palm desktop the only thing that happens is the computer rings a bell. I wonder if the edit memo did show up somewhere but is off screen and invisable. I did add a second monitor recently. Any ideas?
Thanks,
ChasI'd suggest a complete uninstall/reinstall of Palm Desktop.
Make sure you save a copy of your user directory.
Normally, user data does not get deleted, but one can't be too careful!
These instructions are for Vista but should work for Win7.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents --> Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step. If you are not concerned about your data at this point, skip the next step.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do with Palm Desktop from your computer. Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below. C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or PalmOne C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata *Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck hide hidden files.
When using Palm desktop 6.2, look in my documents or documents and delete the PalmOS desktop folder. This is the location of the PD 6.2 data files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box. Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician. BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc. * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks you for a username, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right corner of the hotsync screen.

Apple has always been about the user experience. That's the main reason the Steve's developed (yes the ideas came from Xerox PARC, but....) the OS in the first place.
Apple's latest mantra has been "seamless". To that end, why can I not keep EVERYTHING in synch? Shouldn't it be, following the seamless theme, possible and preferable to push my Hot Synch button on my T5 and have everything in synch? The handheld, palm desktop applications and the Apple desktop applications?
Impossible you say? I say, first of all, nothing is impossible. And second, it's been done before on the other platform. There was a product from DataViz (I think it was them) that would allow you to synch up the handheld to Outlook (I used just the calendar at the time). When you synched it up, it would synch between the handheld and Outlook AND THEN it would copy all of the updated records to the Palm desktop calendar.
Is it possible? If not, is anyone thinking about it or maybe even working on it? Or is it just me that wants to have the flexibility of using any application that I have to find the information I want?Good thing someone got right back to ya... man I dumped my pre for an HTC Evo. FYI
There have been posts in this fourm that state that palm is not going to update the desktop OS and only 3rd party apps like Echo will allow you to use the palm desktop software http://www.chapura.com/echo.php <-thats the download page. also if you are going to a 64 bit OS you will have to use Bluetooth to hotsync the device

Restore Palm Desktop Addresses from last Hot Sync and using those backup files
I have numerous issues. First I have Windows Vista 64 byte which does not allow a USB Hot Sync so I attempted the Wireless Hot Sync and killed my Palm Centro. The information was restores going to the store and they did something. So that is my first issues - I am unable to Hot Sync. However the Hot Sync took place and I have found the 'Back-up' files on my Computer from that Hot Sync Operation.
My new issue is that somehow I lost many addresses on my Palm Desktop Address File and that is a mystery to me.
What I am trying to accomplish now is to restore those missing addresses on my Palm Desktop (Computer Files) using if possible those backed up files from the last Hot Sync as i do not believe I should try the Wireless Hot Sync again since that has failed me twice and my phone dies and it needs to be restored at the Sprint store. I'm not even sure I remember now how exactly that was done....
So, is there a way to restore addresses to my computer Palm Desktop from those back-up files from the Hot Sync? OR does anyone have a solution to actually performing this Wireless Hot Sync without killing my Palm Centro again?
Thank you for any ideas or suggestions to either or both issues.

Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)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. Using 6.2 the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak. For 6.2, the files are located in the username folder in PalmOSdesktop in my documents.
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.

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.

Can't Open New Palm Desktop On My PC
I downloaded the new update for the Palm Desktop for Vista users. It worked fine since I downloaded it, except for a WI-FI problem that I'm still trying to correct. Just yesterday, I cannot open Palm Desktop. When I try to open it on my PC, I get the following message, "Palm Desktop by Access application has stopped working". This happened after I installed some music from my PC to my T/X. I don't think I did anything else. I can still Hotsync, I just can't open Palm Desktop. I thought of re-installing Pal Desktop, I even down loaded the ZIP installation file, but I thought better and will wait to see if anyone has any advice.
John
Post relates to: Palm TXI solved my own problem. Not sure exactly which step did it, but it worked. By reading all of the Help Forums along with the Windows Vista Problem Report and Solutions, I was able to determine that it was the date book causing the Palm Desktop to not open. So I followed what I read in the Help Forums for several other problems. That is, in my PC, I went to documents/Palm OS Desktop/(my device name) and there, I renamed the backup and the datebook. I then deleted the entire Palm Desktop from my computer. Then I re-installed Palm Desktop by Access from a fresh download. Before running Hotsync, I changed the datebook setting to "Desktop overwrites handheld". I then Hotsync'ed. Then I re-installed Holli-dates. My TX worked and I was also now able to open Palm Desktop. I did lose the few dates in my date book that I had saved but it is no big deal since I got the TX for Christmas and didn't have much loaded anyhow. After Hotsync'ing a couple of more times, I went back to my Docuements/Palm OS Desktop/(my device name) on my PC and deleted the renamed backup and datebook. Everything is working fine now.

I recently got a new laptop running Windows 7 and installed the 6.6.2 Palm desktop software so the palm could sync using bluetooth. It worked fine for a month and then it crashed in the middle of a hotsync and the program will not open. I did a clean uninstall, including the registry and reinstalled Desktop and it will not open. During the install, it asked me to do a hotsync and it appeared to work. I tried running as administrator and running in compatibility mode, still no good. Someone on this forum suggested that it was a windows update and that we should reset computer back to initial settings and turning off windows update. I am not going to do that. My wife is attached to her Palm and I need to figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.
Did you set the HotSync conduit to use "USB" in Palm Desktop?
When you plug in the Palm E2, does your computer recognize it and make a noise?
Make sure you are not plugging it into a "hub", but directly into the PC.
Aceeca only offers a patch - I'm not sure why you uninstalled Palm Desktop!
Be sure when you open the Device Manager on your computer that the Palm E2 is still active, and not "gone to sleep".
When all else fails, a Clean Uninstall and Reinstall can usually fix most issues (as long as your USB ports are working correctly on the PC).

Palm Desktop Application (for Mac) crashes when I try to export Datebook module in vCal format
I'm trying to get my Palm OS Datebook data into iCal. When I attempt the export from Palm Desktop in vCal format, the process appears to start; as it nears the end, the entire Desktop application crashes. The file to which I'm allegedly saving the exported info contains no data.
The exact same thing has happened using both Mac OSX 10.4 and 10.5 on two different Macs. I already uninstalled and re-installed the latest version of Desktop software, so that's not the problem.
Any ideas about how to get my Palm Datebook info into iCal, even if it requires a third party application?
Thanks in advance,

Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)I'm sorry, but I don't understand what this response means: you can just use your Treo as the liason between the 2 when you switch sync softwares.
I didn't know it was possible to sync the Treo to iCal and/or Address Book. Can you tell me how? I'd be happy to switch sync software if I knew what to switch to.

I have a Z22 and am running Access version 6.2.2 on a PC with Vista.
When I move from Day, Week or Year to Monthly view in the Calendar, I get the "Palm Desktop by Access Application has stopped working" (and then the Windows message saying they are checking for a solution, which they never seem to find).
Does any one know 1) how to fix this and 2) what is the cause ? Am I running old software which I need to update ?
Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm Z22Thank you, aeisha_anis for the steps to correct this problem. I verified that I must have corrupted calendar data as the PALM Desktop does come up and work when I follow your first 4 steps and remove the data from it. I can't, however, get through the importing step at the end of your instructions. I've tried a few times and am afraid I may have messed up the data file as it now is only showing a datebook. mdb and a datebook.bak file under the DateBook folder I copied to my desktop, but no datebook.dab folder as it was showing before and I never did find the datebook.dat file you mentioned. I still have all of my current calendar data on my Palm Centro but I can't get it to sync with the Palm Desktop without getting the "Palm Desktop by ACCESS Application has stopped working" message. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks much!

Is it possible to have two versions of Muse on one Machine? WhenI open Muse from my program menu in WIndows 7 it comes up the way I am used to. I did an upgrade a week or so ago and now I have an Adobe Muse CC 2014 on my desktop. WhenI open the application that way the GUI interface looksw totally different, more like Illustrator. What is that all about?
Since posting the above, I have resolved a sensible work-around in regard to ebookstores which prefer us to have separate accounts for our separate Adobe IDs.
However, I really would appreciate it if anyone here can confirm that a DRM controlled book does actually become associated with a particular Adobe ID account at the time of first download to Digital Editions on that PC/device.
