Palm Desktop v. 6.2.2 - Media and Search functions stall application

I have a T3 - That I LOVE and STILL USE - BUT recently purchased a Centro - so had to download and install new Desktop software for it - v.6.2.2. I'm running WIndows XP.
The Media function or tab stalls the desktop - I could almost live with that as I don't have anything really in there- BUT I use the search function ALL the time - and just found out it stalls the app. as well.
I REALLY would rather not install and un-install - I was thinking - maybe there was a bug fix I don't know about or a fix for it or something
I assume if I HAVE TO uninstall I could sync my handheld (Yes as well as backing up the data) - and then uninstall and resync from Handheld - although not sure how to do this without messing anything up - BUT would rather find out if this is a fixable problem without going through all of that.
Any ideas? Suggestions?

I use the Tungsten E2 & had upgraded to 6.2 (Access) OS. I had all filed backed up to another folder on the PD. I lost the DATE, ADDRESS, MEMOS & TO DO categories on the Palm Desktop. I tried to re-install 6.2 (the categories were still lost); I uninstalled 6.2 & installed 4.1 (but could not import files from my backed-up files).
The solution was to uninstall 4.1 (I used Windows uninstall) & to re-install 6.2. The missing categories were still missing. Right click on the Palm Desktop shortcut, click on Properties, click on Compatibility, put a check mark in the Administrator Box, click on Apply & click on OK. The missing categories returned including the data that was in them.

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!

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.

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.
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.

Desktop v 6.2 Lost Calendar and Contact functions, Handheld Tungsten E2 still has the data and functions

May 12, 2011 I decided to upgrade Desktop 6.1 to 6.2 on my home Win 7 Desktop, the download and installation appeared to work correctly. Since I use the handheld daily (for everything) and backup at work and home every 2-3 days. I did not notice that the Calendar and Contact functions on my home desktop had disappeared for a few days. Normally at home I use the Desktop to make adjustments and additions to my data in other applications. I did not realize that Calendar and Contacts had dropped off the home PC, until I needed to update my calendar from notes at home..
I have tried to download the software and repair the installation. Still failed.
So after downloading ver 4.1.4, I uninstalled the 6.2 version. I was unable to find the installation program for the prior 6.1. Version 4.1.4, lacks what I had for my home desktop.

Palm Desktop 6.2 hangs on "media" button

Recently I purchased a Palm Centro and last night installed the Desktop software 6.2 on top of the previous 4.1.4, which I had for my Tungsten E (as the instructions indicate). Things seemed to go okay, but every time I hit the "media" button on the software, the progress bar gets about a third of the way complete before it hangs. I've tried rebooting, etc., but to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I've just upgraded from my old Tungsten T2 which died on me to a Tungsten Tx which I bought second hand from ebay this week. It came without the install disk so I downloaded the currrent PDT software for Tx from the Palm download site. I am running Windows XP Home on my laptop and an old PC and Windows Vista 64 bit on my new PC. Given the problems with Vista 64 bit version I have been relying on my lap top. However having sorted out most of the teething problems I am still left with the same probl;em as you, everything seems to work and hotsunc correctly but as soon as I press the media tab the progress bar states that it is loading.... then hangs after about a third of the progress. Pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL shows that the application is not responding. I can bluetooth images to my palm from my phone and I suspect if I put the images onto an SD card the Palm will recognise them, but I can't use PDT to manage the media. So if anyone else has any suggestions I would also be interested to hear them.

JavaAccessBridge and doAccessibleActions function hang application

Hi, good people.
Now i'm trying to integrate my C# app to Java Swing application.
So i'm using JavaAccessBridge 2.0.2 and WindowsAccessBridge.dll for that. For interaction with push buttons i use doAccessibleActions function and "click" action.
But sometimes when i try to "click" at button, in Java application, it hang.
It's a random bug, but some buttons hangs application more frequent than others.
Did anybody meet this bug or maybe resolve this problem?

Attach the code.
But my suggestion would be first getAccessibleActions then call doAccessibleAction.

Extended Value Selector (EVS) and search function

Hi,
the tutorial "Value Help in Web Dynpro Applications" mentions that the EVS provides a search function. What does the search function look like? Does it work in such a way that only values beginning/containing a predefined String are displayed? How could one realise such a behaviour?
Thanks in advance for any hints,
-STEFFEN-

Hi Steffen,
nice to meet you here The filtering functionality of the EVS UI is based on a simple "starts with"-criterion. It does not support regular expressions. In addition it does not display those displaytexts which contain the given string as a substring.
For getting more information on how to show displaytexts for keys in combination with the EVS search help please read this article:

Photos not in Palm Desktop

Have Zire 71, software version 4.1. Saw ad to upgrade to 4.1.1e & did so. Horrible results. Reloaded original Palm software but my photos do not appear in Palm Desktop even after successful (?) synch. Photos are in handheld and Explorer shows them in Palm/Photos.

Hello 14931, Welcome to the Palm Community Forum.
The dowload versions of Palm Desktop do not include a Media conduit with them, thus no transfer of photos.
I'd suggest a clean uninstall/reinstall of your original Palm Desktop. Instructions for a clean uninstall here:

Palm Desktop 6.2.2 on Win8.1 syncing but not displaying data

I'm so pleased to have found this forum. I didn't realise there was so much love for old Palm devices. I started with a Palm V and worked my way up to a Tungsten T & palm Desktop 4.1.4 on WInXP and everything has been so good that I've resisted moving away from Palm Desktop as it does everything I need. But I've just bought a new Win8.1 PC and am having some problems that I hope someone here can help with.
I've been through the help here about installing Palm Desktop 6.2.2 and the win8 driver and the installation was very smooth and I could hotsync via usb with no apparent problem, except that Palm Desktop is not displaying any of my palm data!
When I first ran hotsync (from the palm cradle button) it asked for a user name. My Tungsten T was already being used on my XP PC and was full of data. So I entered the Tungsten user name and hotsync continued. it took a couple of minutes or so (as would be expected) and when complete it said everything was ok. I checked the Hotsync logand it confirmed everything was synchronised correctly - but when I opened Palm Desktop there was no data being displayed.
I then checked the data files in ...documents\Palm OS Desktop\.... and the address and datebook files are present and full of my data. I even opened them using Notepad and could easily see loads of ascii text amongst all the 'junk' characters, so it looks as if the sync process has worked correctly but nothing from my Tungsten is being displayed in the Palm Desktop.
I then added an event in the datebook in Palm Desktop and another event on the same day in the Tungsten. I then did another hotsync. It was reported as successful but the Tungsten event did not appear in the Desktop although the Desktop even DID appear on the Tungsten. So the sync process seems to be only working one way!
I've never had this happen before and would really appreciate any help.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

OK, try using the "Palm Hotsync Setup" program found on this page.
Since you are using an older T|T, this may be the answer.
There is a guide available from this website for migrating PalmOS data to Android, if interested. I made that jump years ago when webOS was ended. You can find it on their Home page.

HOTSYNC WITH PALM DESKTOP LOCATED ON AN EXTERNAL DRIVE

I've been hotsynching between my desktop, laptop and Z22. Recently I replaced the desktop harddrive with a much larger one. I put the old harddrive in a USB external drive housing and now have a nifty 40 GB external drive. Does anyone know how I can hotsync the Z22 one last time with the Palm Desktop info on the external drive? Then I'll install Palm Desktop on the new harddrive in my desktop, and hotsync from the Z22 to the new harddrive.
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Is all your current data on the Z22? If it is, install Palm desktop on the new hard drive and sync the Z22 with desktop overwrites handheld selected in hotsync manager.
Another option is to install the version of Palm Desktop that you were using on the old hard drive, copy the username folder on the old hard drive in the Palm folder, Paste the username folder into the Palm folder on the new hard drive. Open Palm desktop and the data should be there.

Hotsync -Motion Apps Classic &Palm Desktop

Hello,
I just purchased the Motion App Clasic for my new Palm Pre, in an attempt to get my old calendar back! However, I am having trouble syncing the info from Palm Desktop 6 with the Classic app on my Palm Pre. I have worked with the tech dept at Motion App and still haven't figured out issue. They told me all should work fine if I follow directions on their site, http://www.motionapps.com/classic/hotsync, which I have done numerous times. I am fairly computer savvy, I feel like an idiot but can not figure it out. I have disabled firewalls as recommended in their "Tips" section. I followed all the instruction to a "T." I tried syncing via Wi-Fi and bluetooth, nothing! The only thing I can think of is the IP address which I may have wrong. I looked up my IP address on my computer using command prompt, when this IP address didn't work, I tried looking it through IP Chicken. However, i noticed IP Chicken gave me a completely different number, I don't understand why ?? Maybe this could be why my Pre isn't communicating with my computer/ Palm Desktop? Now I am bewildered and have exhausted the little I know of computers. I live by this calendar and am lost without it. Any help is much appreciated.

The program is finished, and no longer sold. The OP knows this already. If I had an answer, I would have happily provided it (as has been my custom for the last 6 years of volunteering my time here...)

Palm Desktop for Windows 7

No device
Zire 71 w/Palm os 5.2.1. Just upgraded to Windows 7. Is there any Palm Desktop that i can download to continue using my Zire? Had 4.1 but could not get HotSync to work. Not crazy about 6.2, but will take at this point if i can find to download. Thanks.

Palm wrote there desktop software for Windows 32bit. You need the Aceeca 64bit Windows driver for Palm desktop. If you have loaded and unloaded several different versions of the Palm desktop trying to get things to work you will also need to do a clean uninstall of the Palm desktop software, so everything will work properly. I would first try the Palm desktop version that you have installed on your computer and follow the directions given in the sticky post I have linked. Post back for more info if needed.
