Palm Centro Verizon, Palm Desktop 4.1.4, Calendar WILL NOT SYNC

as above. I tried to install the V6.2 desktop that came with the phone; the Hotsync crashes every time it starts (some HS20Log.dll problem), so I installed 4.1.4.
The calendar will not sync. It hangs forever and ever. Everything else syncs just fine.
I brought my trusty M515 home, synced it with the home computer, then synced the Centro to get the data. It synced ONCE (the calendar) and never again.
I reformatted the disk and reinstalled the OS (XP SP3), got the same V6.2 hotsync problem and reverted to 4.1.4, and that's where I am now.
Help.

Glad you got things to sync, just a quick thought.
4.1.4 is a rather old version of Palm Desktop. I would have suggested you try 4.1.4E, as it was designed for later devices and has some updated USB drivers in it...

1) Thanks for moving me - I'm incredibly lost!
2) I have tried the "run as administrator" thing before. I just changed the UAC settings. And I tried installing the new driver. I don't know which part of those (either the change of UAC settings or the attempting to download/ install the new 64 bit driver). But now when I try to connect via IR, I get "Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application" on my Clie.
3) I was giddy at the thought of a new driver, but it's not working. I'm going to post that questions on that thread, I suppose.
http://forums.palm.com/t5/Windows-HotSync/64-Bit-Drivers-are-HERE-Thanks-Aceeca-corp/td-p/337516 for searchers.
I'm going to work on getting the new driver to work. If not, I'll be back bumping up this thread. Thank you for your suggestions!
ETA: I just undid the UAC settings and now my IR connection works again. My stuff still isn't showing up in Palm Desktop, but at least it *says* it's hotsyincing again via IR.

Palm Desktop 4.1.4 Calendar entries disappear

Hi
I am using Palm Desktop 4.1.4 not connected to any thing. Win XP 32 bit SP3.
Recent calendar entries (since Mid Feb 2012) disappeared. I reentered them and checked a few times and they were still there. Then several hours later they disappeared again. Only recently entered calendar entries disappeared.
• There is only one user.
• I am showing all private records.
• The location of my Palm data folder has not changed
• This has never happened before.
I have 1400 contacts and dates going back to 2000 so I am well under the maximum records.
Thanks for any help

Hi cygnusX1
Thanks a lot for responding.
I don't believe the Palm Desktop stayed open when the data was found missing. I believe I had closed it and then found the data missng upon reopening it...but I'm not perfectly sure about that.
Since I posted, I testing it again by entering 3 dates in Feb and March 2012. I check a few hours later and the dates were still there, even after closing the PD and reopening it a few times...then the next day, the newly entered dates were gone. All other existing data that was entered in the Calendar, Contacts etc seems to be uneffected.
==================================
I just made the following observation:
==================================
It seems as though only data that was entered from Jan 1st 2012 and onward, is disappearing. Contact data entered from Jan 1st 2012 and onward, has also disappeared. In the contact data, I made a change to an existing record in Jan 2012 and the original record is there but the change I made has disappeeared.
There is existing data in the year 2012 calendar that was entered before Dec 31 and that data is still there as well as all previous data.
As far as your suggestion to export data, uninstall and reinstall, I will try that as soon as this post runs it course. I want to wait to see if any solution appear in the short term. Then, if the reinstall does not help, I guess I will have to consider a different Calendar and Datebook app.
I would like to know what is going on. This seems very strange. It's never happened before. Been using this app for many years.
Thanks again for any help

Unable to transfer contacts on palm desktop (windows) to ipod nano

My friend has a PC with all her contacts within Palm desktop. She now wants to transfer the contacts into her iPod nano. I am lost! It is my understanding that a vcard needs to be created, but I am unsure how to do this on the PC. Can anyone assist?

This was not a question I asked.

Centro to palm desktop -- won't sync calendar, freezes up

My subject line pretty much says it all. Been syncing just fine until today the calendar won't sync. Initially it wouldn't sync and the log said my calendar or my computer was full, so it wouldn't sync. Now, it just freezes up on trying to sync date book & calendar. Using desktop 6.2.2. Everything else syncs ok if I set the calendar to "do nothing". the desktop search for errors returns no corrupted files. Can't see anything blatantly wrong with the calendar on my centro. Earlier today, a group of appts disappeared from the phone (before I attempted to sync and failed). After failed sync, those entries were back, all in duplicate. I went back and deleted the duplicates (leaving just 1 entry for each) on the phone, but it still won't sync. There are no duplicates on desktop, that I can tell.
So, now what do I do????

This question was solved.
View Solution.

I had this same issue. I spent about 2 hrs on phone today with palm support. Here is the upshot: there were corrupted records(calender events) on the centro that I had to find and delete. For exampe I would have an event 4-5 years ago that would just have "uuu1" or some similar nonsense. What Palm had me do was go to a third party website and download a trial version of an application called dbfixit. www.pimlicosoftware.com. the software would detect the problem but the free trial version would not fix it so I had to go to each corrupted event and delete it myself. I do not think my support person realized that the freeware version cld not autofix the problem. So there was a little confusion there.. but eventually I got everything fixed and hotsynched (relief) I hope this helps you,

Does Palm Desktop 4.1.1 work on Windows 8.1/64 bit?

Have never posted on a forum before so a bit nervous - but desperation needs must!
Have followed closely replies to other queries on this Palm forum (and the wonderful work which Wyrenut, SMKranz and many others do - well done chaps!). However can't quite locate the answers that I'm looking for. So please help if you can! Here goes:
Current situation: running PD 4.1.1 on Windows XP/32 bit. Handset is TungstenT which is limping badly and only rarely synced with. So it is the Desktop which is most important.
Migrating to Windows 8.1/64 bit and would like to continue using 4.1.1. Will it work? Any major downsides if it does? Will it sync with the handset if it is ever required - by bluetooth or usb (with the hep of those Acerca drivers)?
If 6.2. is the only option for 8.1 which format should I export Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and memos in? PD 4.1 offers, in addition to the default, several other possibility(csv, text, tab, vcard). Confused about which one is best
Any help you can give would be most gratefully received. Thanks

xenssa,
Palm Desktop 4.1 does work on Windows 8/64 bit.
I have not updated to 8.1
If I was to buy a new PC with Win 8.1 I would try Palm Desktop 4.1
I have been using it for 3 months with no problems. I have a Zire 72.
I do a USB HotSync using the Aceeca driver.
When you install the Palm Desktop software skip check the internet for updates step.
I have my Windows UAC (User account Control) set to Never Notify.
I set the Palm Desktop/ Properties/Compatibility to Run this program as administrator.
To make Palm Desktop "Run as Administrator" every time in Windows 8/8.1:
Close Palm Desktop, if open. (This is a very important thing to always do when using Palm Desktop, it has been known to lose data when a computer is shut down without closing the program!)
Right Click on the Palm Desktop Icon in the Metro screen, then choose "Open File Location". You will now see the actual file for the shortcut.
Right-click on the "Palm Desktop" shortcut file, then Properties. Now pick the Compatibility Tab at the top.
At the bottom of the Compatibility Tab is a checkbox: "Run this Program as Administrator". Put a check in the box, then click OK to close the window.
I use the Import Export feature in Palm Desktop to Backup my Calendar and Contacts and save in my Dropbox.
I use .dba (Calendar) and .aba (Contacts) formats.
I use PD 4.1 with Vista, Win 7, and Win 8.
I can create a PD Backup on any of these PCs and import it into another PC.
Make sure to select all Contacts before you backup, only the highlighted contacts will be exported.
I use the vCard format to move Palm contacts to my Gmail contacts

Palm Desktop 6.2.2 to Yahoo Calendar

Trying to move my Palm desktop 6.2.2 calendar to Yahoo Calendar. I did an export to a .DBA file and then went to Yahoo and did an import. Received the following error:
The file was not imported or was the wrong format, please check your file.
I did check the time zones, etc. Anyone else have this problem and what did you do?

I was looking to upgrade my Palm Centro to a Palm Pre. Part of this upgrad means moving the Calendar to Yahoo. After exporting the calendar to a .dba, I get the same error from Yahoo. Has anyone heard from HP/Palm with some type of solution to this problem. Without a fix the only choice seems to be Iphone or Blackberry and just manually update the calendar.
Any help to keep Palm and a great Desktop program. I also use a Palm TX and would like to keep all these Palm devices.

Does anyone know how I can change the font size on my Palm Desktop?

My IBM Thinkpad T23 shows the Palm Desktop memos, addresses and calendar information in very small fonts that are hard to read and I have not found a way to change them.
Post relates to: Treo 600 (Verizon)

Using "regedit" I was able to change the font size larger for use with the Palm Desktop software.
Run "regedit" and export (save) a backup copy for safety
   File > Export
Search for "FontSmall"
   Edit > Find > Find what > FontSmall
Click on FontSizeGeneral and change the "Value data" to 16
Exit "regedit"
Run Palm Desktop software and enjoy the new legible font size!
Notes:
1) The location of the Palm Desktop software on my system using "regedit" is:
        HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core
        * Your location of the Palm Desktop software may differ.
2) I tested this on monitors using resolutions of 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768
        The font size is noticeably readable and much, much better
3) You may also change the font family from the default (Arial) to another, such as Verdana, etc.
        FontCard   (Changes the font family in the side panels)
        FontGeneral   (Changes the font family for most of the program fonts)
4) Operating System: Windows XP Pro

Month view off "Date" app on Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2

I have Windows XP (Home) with Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2.
I also have a Palm Z22 and a HP TouchPad.
My problem is with the Palm Desktop. In the "Date" application it will not display the Month view. There is no problem with the Day or Week view, but when I click on the Month view,
a screen pops up that says "Application has encountered a problem and needs to close".
It then says "Send report" or "Don't send".
After clicking on either of these, the Palm Desktop window closes.
I do not know where to retrieve the "Send Report" information if it has been sent.
Any help would be appreciated as the Month view is very helpful when planning future appointments or activities.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH....

Palm Desktop - Quits Unexpectedly

I've been using Palm Desktop to sync my calendar only for years. Synced last night with no problem.
Came home today and tried to sync and while trying to sync the Palm Conduit Manager unexpectedly quit. Same error happens while trying to open Palm Desktop.
I've tried to uninstall/re-install Palm Desktop and associated files to no avail.
Anyone seen this problem in the past and know how to fix in.
I have installed no new software between the now, and the last successful syncing. My Mac is acting very much like a PC!

Hi Erik,
First off your 1st phone call if your going to call anyone should be Palm...not Mac. Sounds like your Mac is working fine..its just the Palm dektop software that is acting up.
Before you do any of the following steps please make sure you have ALL your important data on your Palm / Computer backed up somewhere off the computer (CD / DVD etc).
Reinstalling the Palm software is a good bet but the installers do not remove some of the files that may be causing your issue.
Consider removing ~/library/caches, ~/library/preferences/com.palm.HotSync.plist and then trying again.
If that still doesn't help I would try running your sync on an alternate user account and see it works over there.
If it doesn't then I would HIGHLY suggest contacting palm.
If it does then you get to do the fun fun fun task of troubleshooting your library folder in the affected user account.
You can simply pull the entire ~/library folder out...but then your account will revert to it's factory state and you will need to put all your settings back in.

Palm desktop software moves data one day back

Using Palm Desktop 4.6, the calendar data moved one back one day. Thanksgiving is now on Wednesday along with all my calendar data.
I downloaded and upgraded to Palm Desktop 6.2 and, of course, that did not correct the problem.
I also HotSyncec with my Z22 and now the dates on it are also off by one day. Can I fix this or do I have to do each day manually? Thanks, Tom
Post relates to: Palm Z22

The same thing has happened to us. We don't sync with any device, but have changed computers, so are just transferring data from Palm Desktop on one computer to another (exported a file, put it on a flash drive, and then imported it). THe strange thing is that it doesn't move all the dates back one day, just some of them. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to which ones. And we noticed that it just dropped one all together.
Looked at one of the dates that was moved. It is a repeat (a birthday). And when you look at the details of the repeat, the date is changed and where on the initial computer there was no end date, on the new computer it has put an end date.
The desktop software is Pal Desktop by ACCESS, version 6.2.2
Would love some help!!

Contacts and Calendar not synching. (Centro, Windows XP, Palm Desktop 6.2.2) Please help!

I originally posted on the Hotsync forum, and it was suggested that I post my question here. Important information: My office uses Microsoft Outlook Exchange, and I have my Centro set up to get my emails. It also wants to sync my contacts and calendar; however, that is completely unneeded for my purposes. I need to synch my Contacts and Calendar with my Palm Desktop. If there is something I have to check or uncheck to do so, please tell me how.
This is my original post:
"When I hotsynch, my memopad, my documents to go, everything seems to synch except my contacts and calendar.
After a few hours on the phone with tech support at sprint, we went for the nuclear option, hard reset, and the temporarily solved the problem, but now it has returned.
Information that might be important:
I'm getting a failed to backup 1 file error>PmTraceDatabase>Protocol Error: Handheld file could not be opened (4004)>SYNCERR_FILE_NOT_OPEN. This may or may not be relevent.
Anyway, I appreciate any help with this. I depend on this PDA phone to keep me organized and there's a slight and embarrasing touch of panic to how I feel now that it is not working correctly."
Post relates to: VisorPhone

Okay, I'm continuing to do research on this, and here's my suspicion, maybe true or maybe false. When I set up versamail to get mail from my office's exchange server, it also configured my contact list and calendar to sync as well, and synching with the the exchange server and synching with my desktop software are mutually exclusive.
If this IS true, then hopefully there is a way to set it up so I synch my email only with the exchange server, and leave my contact list and calendar configured to synch with my desktop software.
Any feedback or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Centro will not sync with Palm desktop - Calendar and/or Contacts

I have used a Palm device for many years. Acquired a new Centro. Upon installation of Palm Desktop (on Windows XP) that came with Centro, all contacts, calendar, to do, memos, etc transferred to the Centro during installation.
Subsequent changes to contacts and/or calendar on Centro are not syncing with Palm desktop when Hot Sync is performed. Hot Sync starts and appears to complete normally. To Do list and memos appear to sync just fine. Have tried changing conduits to have Centro overwrite desktop. Have uninstalled/reinstalled Desktop many times.
Hot Sync log:

Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

I have a Centro/Verizon Wireless using Versamail with accounts established for personal POP and Exchange e-mail synchronization. The latter account is for work. Previously I owned a Treo 650p using Versamail.
When I first installed Palm OS Desktop and synched to my Centro device, it was on a Windows XP home computer, and no Versamail accounts were defined. First I downloaded and installed the Versamail version which allowed Exchange synchronization. I exported the Treo650p contacts list to a disk file, and imported it onto the Windows XP home computer into the Palm OS Desktop installed with the Centro-supplied CD. This synched the imported contacts list to the Centro fine. After I defined all the POP and Exchange accounts, synchronization with the office Exchange contacts list worked fine, and still does. Synchronization with the windows XP home computer for contacts seems to still be ok, too regardless of the MS Exchange Versamail account commingling with my personal POP accounts. Maybe the install sequence is overriding the previous posts' notation that MS Exchange mail definition will override synch with Palm OS Desktop?
The problem now is I have a different/second home computer that's Vista os. I installed the Palm OS Desktop and synch with the Treo. The contacts list is not synching to this second home computer, maybe because I didn't follow the exact same sequence as for the Windows XP pc? I can still synch my Centro with my Windows XP pc and that includes contacts.
Is there a way on this second pc to override the MS Exchange contacts override for synchronization without having to go through the exact same install sequence as occurred on the Windows XP machine?

How to copy Palm Desktop data to a PC using Windows 8.1

If like me you still find the Palm Desktop data (address, calendar, memos, etc.) handy and use it long after throwing away the handset and "sync" ability, you may find this useful. I bought a new PC using Windows 8.1 and had problems transferring data because of a wrinkle that I figured out, which didn't exist in Windows XP, Vista or 7 versions. Here's a recap of one way to easily transfer data from those earlier versions if you have a USB flash drive (or Dropbox, Google Drive, whatever) handy :
1) Download Palm Desktop 6.2 or 6.2.2 to your new PC. Then give a user name exactly as it exists in your old PC's database. This name will be used by Desktop software to create a six letter folder name (an abbreviated version of your name) to hold data that Palm Desktop will look up. Wait a few seconds for this to happen, then close the Desktop application on your new PC.
2) In your old PC from where you want to transfer data, look for the folder called "Palm OS Desktop" which should exist in "Documents" under "Users" folder and subfolders path like >your name subfolder>Documents in Windows 7 (may be Vista too) or may be under "Documents and Setting" folder in Windows XP.
3) In this folder "Palm OS Desktop" look for that six letter subfolder of your name, and select that entire subfolder and choose "Copy" or Ctrl-C
4) Locate the same subfolder name in your new PC (which will have null data), delete it, and then "paste" the subfolder you "copied" into the same exact location. If you've done it right, Viola! Your new PC desktop should show all the transferred data once you again open the application.
Most of the same procedure works with Windows 8.1 (probably also Windows 8) PCs. What I found different was that the data subfolder created under "Palm OS Desktop} had 7 instead of 6 characters with a "0" (zero) added as the last character. So when you finally copy and paste that subfolder into the new PC you have to rename it and add that "0" for the Palm Desktop to locate this data.
Hope this helps.
This question was solved.

To turn off UAC, go to the Control Panel, then User Accounts.
Under the header, "Make changes to your user account", there is an entry titled "Change User Account Control Settings".
Pick it, and drag the slider all the way down to "Never Notify".
