Palm Hotsync conduits and MIDP applications

Hi,
I wrote a MIDlet application for Palm. Now, in the
process of writing a java Conduit for it (using JSync suit of CDKJ4) I
I received this message in the syncronization process:
Uncaught exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: CondRest
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: CondRest at
palm.conduit.SyncManager.sync(SyncManager.java)
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

It�s necessary you compile to file and put it in folder where of user current of HotSync

Palm Tungsten E and G4 Powerbook not syncing at all - why?

I have bought a 2nd hand Tungsten which apparently worked perfectly well before. But even though i have installed it properly, it won't sync, and when I go to iSync I am not allowed to install a device either. Any help gratefully received as I am stuck. All I want is for Address Book and iCal to sync with the hand held and I will be a happy woman...

This is a permissions problem. Even though you are using updated Palm and iSync software the problem below still surfaces. To fix it you need to change the permission on three folders. You need Admin access to change the permissions but I set the owner of the folders to be regular user (who was the palm owner) and then everything is working fine. (I suspect I may have more to do if there were two palm users from different accounts.) Good luck

Palm Desktop Installer Access Denied error after iSync 1.2 Palm Conduit has been installed.
You may receive the following error during installation or re-installation of Palm Desktop if you have installed the iSync 1.2 Palm Conduit for Mac OS X:
"Sorry, the operation could not be completed due to a System error. (Access Denied.)"
Explanation: the iSync 1.2 Palm Conduit installer changes the ownership and permission settings of some Palm folders to Read Only. The Palm Desktop Installer requires these folders have Read & Write access.
Workaround: A user with Administrator privileges (usually the primary user under Mac OS X) must change these privileges prior to running the Palm Desktop installer.
Perform one of the following procedures to change the affected folder privileges:
Mac OS X 10.2.x and 10.3.x
1. Download and install the latest version of Palm Desktop for Macintosh from the Palm support website, here: http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/mac_desktop.html
Alternatively, if you need to reinstall your software from the original CD you must perform the following procedure.
In the Finder, select the "/Library/Application Support/Palm HotSync" folder. Note that this is the Library folder at the ‘root' level of your hard drive, not the Library folder in your user Home folder.
Select "Get Info" from the File menu.
Select the lock icon next to the "Owner" name to unlock it.
Select the Owner menu and select your username (or a user with Admin privileges). You may be asked to enter your password at this time.
Change the Owner's Access to "Read & Write"
Select the "Group" name and change it to "Admin"
Change the Group's Access to "Read & Write"
Repeat steps 2 through 8 for the following two folders:
"/Library/Application Support/Palm HotSync/Conduits"
"/Library/Application Support/Palm HotSync/Disabled Conduits"

Isync hotsync conduits

isync says to install isync hotsync conduit to Palm Hotsync conduit folder. How do you do that. I have the 4.2.1 palm version installed

You simply add your Palm device to iSync using the Add Palm OS Device… option. The basis Add Device… option is reserved for supported mobile handsets and Symbian OS smartphones.
As you go through that process, iSync installs the iSync Palm Conduit and deactivates conflicting Palm supplied conduits, along with the Memo Conduit and Memos Conduit. Those memo-related conduits can be reactivated manually, as they do not actually cause any conflict with the iSync Palm Conduit, which has not memo handling capability whatsoever.
In some case, under Mac OS X 10.5 and later, the installed iSync Palm Conduit is effectively inert, and must be replaced. If you do not see it using the conduit configuration dialog in the HotSync Manager or in the Palm Desktop, then write to the address in my Public Profile for a replacement conduit package.

Can't find palm tungsten isync hotsync conduit in leopard

Attempting to sync my Palm Tungsten E2 with iCal & Address Book by USB but iSync can't set up when I attempt to Enable Palm Syncing. iSync Hotsync Conduit does not install and is not found on searching with Spotlight. Palm Hotsync works fine. Where is my software not configured properly?

Problem solved. I was logged into a User Account that did not have permissions to move the conduits to a new folder 'iSync Disabled Conduits'. Logging into the System Manager Account enabled this process to proceed and reverting back to the sub-account the configuring for Enable Palm Syncing process now completed.

Palm HotSync manager includes outlook conduits?

I'm assuming that the newest versions of palm desktop and hotsync manager that are available to download already include the Palm Outlook Conduits? I distinctly remember in previous versions the huge caution statement saying that they were only available from the original installation CD, but it looks now like they are included in the download. Is that correct? and if yes, how would i go about upgrading - just install the new version over the old?
thanks

Correct Outlook conduits are included with the download of palm desktop, as for uprading your current version. If you wish to upgarde to palm desktop 6.2 you can install that directly overtop of any existing software. An upgrade to any other version of palm desktop will however require you to uninstall the software before installing anything new.

Palm Treo 755P and 7.02 Hotsync Causing Knip Fits . . . .

I decided to update my Palm Desktop SW from version 4.2 to the newest version 6.2 It is running on Windows XP Media Center 2005. Since I have done this (and uninstalled, reinstalled a couple times), the Palm Treo 755P hangs up at the sync of the Datebook (from Dataviz). When I unselect the Datebook conduit, it hangs up on the Address (Contacts). Also, every time Hotsync ends, I get the error that a problem has occurred and the program closes (every time). When I go back over to my other XP machine with Palm 4.2, everything works like a champ again. Can anyone explain why I am experiencing these two types of problems? Thanks in advance. BTW, if there is a thread that is solving these issues, please provide the link.
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

It may be a corrupted install of Palm desktop. If you have all your data backed up on another PC and on the Treo, you will need to "clean" uninstall Palm desktop and re-install. I would suggest using 4.x version instead of 6.2. There have been data loss issues with 6.2. This can happen if Palm desktop is open and the PC shuts down, a Windows update happens with Palm desktop open.
During the re-install, skip the sync and finish the install. After the install is complete, change the conduits to handheld overwrites desktop and then sync.
Here are the "clean" uninstall instructions.
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 C:\Program Files\Palm or
Palm One. 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.
For Palm desktop 6.2, look in the following location for the folders and files, my documents, PalmOS desktop. You will find the username folder in this location.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer. Like the above folder, delete the Palm folder. Once this is done, you will need to delete some registry keys
from your PC Operating System registry.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
to not start 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 will show them everything
they need to delete. To retain your current Registry settings, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
On the PC, go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As
box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents or you can change to a location you will remember. In the file name box, type "Regbackup[todaysdate]" i.e. Regbackup07072008. 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.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
One other issue that can cause the sync to stop is data corruption. I would suggest scnning the data on the Treo to see if it is corrupted.
There may be database corruption causing the issue. Click on the following link for the program called DbFixiT. This program has a trial version that you can download and install on your Palm OS device. The trial version will scan for database corruption and then report the corruption. You can then find the records causing the problem and fix them yourself or you can purchase the program and have it automatically fix the records.
http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm
To install the program, set all conduits to "do nothing" except quick install or install if using Palm desktop 6.2.
After you install the program on the handheld, run the scan and also scan for Blobs in the calendar.
After you clean-up the database on the handheld, set the conduits in hotsync to handheld overwrites desktop and perform a hotsync.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.

VersaMail 3.1C conduit and HotSync on Vista PC

I deleted an email account in my Palm TX. I have the Vista version of PalmDesktop 6.2. There is no VersaMail option for HotSync with this version of Palm Desktop. I created an email account after I hotsynced my Palm. I noticed an error after creating the email account and deleted the said account. When I tried to create a new email account I get this message:
"All accounts are in use.
Deleted accounts can be re-used after
Performing a HotSync.
Make sure VersaMail conduit is turned on
and not set to 'Do Nothing"
I opened the HotSync Manager and there is nothing regarding VersaMail or hot to turn on the conduit for it. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this situation?
Thanks
Post relates to: Palm TX

I'm glad to see that after 2 years, Palm still doesn't have an answer to this issue. I'm using google to find a solution to this issue, only to see that a boat-load of other users are having the same issue. Does Palm software engineering even read these things? I've been using palm devices for 12 years now. After this problem arose with my treo 755p I'm running out to buy an iPhone today.
Like others, as soon as I deleted an Exchange email address, I get the error listed above. I can no longer create Versamail accounts. Syncing doesn't help. I am running Vista with Palm Desktop 6.2.2. (Which is another point... I seem to get weekly enhancements to iTunes that fix various annoyances that users have. 6.2.2 is ancient and is riddled with compromises.)

Building and Debugging MIDP applications.

Hi,
I have java files(MIDlet) for MIDP applications. I am unable to compile it in JBuilder7.0. Using J2ME -> KToolbar i am able to build the application/project, But i am unable to debug it. Can anybody tell me how can i successfully create/build/debug MIDP applications?
what are the necessary S/W required??
Thanks
Sunil.

go to
http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_jbuilder.html#
and download MobileSet and install it.
then:
1) install Wireless Toolkit if you dont have it already
2) start JBuilder
3) Tools menu -> Configure JDKs
4) click "New"
5) set the path to your WTK path (for example c:\wtk20)
6) click ok
7) select it as JDK for your project (or as default) using "Project properties" on the project menu
for JBuilder Personal Edition, there's a trick to make it work - you can replace the included J2SE JDK with MIDP 2.0 and get it working (personal edition doesn't normally have the ability to add new JDKs)
When you're going to run an application in your project, you'll get the Run window coming up. Do like this
1) click "New"
2) pick Type: MIDlet
3) browse to your main class (extends MIDlet)
4) optional: pick Build target: <None> if you don't want to run make on the project before each run
5) click "ok"
6) now you can run your midlet using the green play button

Calendar Sync, Palm Zire 31 and Mac OS 10.4.6

We just purchased several Palm Zire 31 handhelds because that model is one on Oracle's list as "certified" to work with Calendar Sync. However, I cannot seem to get it to sync properly to Oracle Calendar. Prior to installing Calendar Sync it synced to my Palm Desktop data just fine. Please point me in the right direction.
Here are all the versions and hardware:
Powerbook G4 running Mac OS 10.4.6
Palm Zire 31 running Palm OS 5.2.8
Palm Desktop software 4.2.1
Oracle Calendar Sync 9.0.4.2.10 (installed on Zire 31)
Palm HotSync Manager 3.2
Oracle Calendar (desktop software) 10.1.1.0.2.694

I don't sync a Zire 31, but I do sync a variety of Treos and Tungsten units with 10.4.x. I sync my Events and Tasks with Oracle and my Addresses with the Apple conduit.
Here are the directions I have come up with:
First, make sure you are using the latest Oracle Palm Sync (sounds like you are)
Second, make sure you have the latest iSync Palm conduit (version 3.0.2 under OS 10.4)
open the iSync application, go to the Devices menu, and choose Enable Palm Sync for this device
Click on the device name. Make sure Contacts is checked, but NOT Calendars
Quit iSync
Open Palm Desktop -> HotSync -> Conduit Settings
choose iSync Conduit and click Conduit Settings. Check the box to enable Palm Sync for device
Open MacintoshHD -> Library -> Application Support -> Palm Hotsync
move Apple into Conduits folder
move Oracle Calendar Address Conduit into Disabled Conduits folder
HotSync, and you should be good to go.

ISync, Palm Treo 650, and my sanity

Just bought a Palm Treo 650 this evening and I'm having the hardest time.
Been trying to iSync via USB with mixed luck. I installed the software that came with the phone, made sure my HotSync settings were correct, and hit the Hotsync button on the USB cable.
Nothing happened for several tries. Was as if the cable was broken as the Palm just couldn't contact the computer and would eventually time out.
Then when I used the AC adapter along with the USB I got a different result. The Palm and Mac were now talking. But it did give me errors regarding the conduits being in conflict. So I changed the settings on some of the conduits and I finally got a successful sync.
Well semi-successful. Some of the stuff didn't seem to be syncing. Like some of my iCal entries. So I found an article showing how to drag some of the conduits to the Disabled folder. Which I did. And now ever since I cannot seem to get the the Palm and Mac to talk again. I get the "Connecting with the desktop using Cradle/Cable" for a while and then the "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again."
Anyone know where I'm going wrong? Would really appreciate some help/advice.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
There are apparently several issues in play here. So long as you are willing to live the the limitations of the iSync Palm Conduit and synchronize via only one path—either USB or Bluetooth, but not selectively moving back and forth between the two—you can configure iSync to synchronize contact data with the Address Book and calendaring and task data with iCal.
With the exception of non-conflicting conduits like Memos, you will be unable to synchronize at all with the Palm Desktop. [Palm conduits which conflict with iSync are those used by various models to synchronize contacts—Address Conduit and Contact Conduit—those used to synchronize calendars—Calendars Conduit and Datebook Conduit—and those used to synchronize tasks—Tasks Conduit and ToDo Conduit.]
Unless you thoroughly understand how this technology works, it's not a great idea to 'experiment' by moving conduits manually. A properly configured Conduits folder for iSync users should contain at least…
• Apple [the Finder name of the iSync Palm Conduit]
• Backup
• Install
• Memos Conduit [only if you want to continue to synchronize memos to the Palm Desktop]
• any non-conflicting third-party or additional conduits you want to use
Other conduits should reside in the Disabled Conduits folder.
You add a Palm device, either via USB or Bluetooth, using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option under the Devices menu of iSync. You set the synchronization parameters for your device in the drop-down configuration pane exposed when you press the Tungsten icon in the main window of iSync.
You did the right thing by installing the Palm Desktop software using the bundled CD-ROM that shipped with your Treo 650. But, you should have upgraded that application by applying the Palm Desktop 4.2.1 revision D, available here:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421revd.html
If you elect to upgrade your copy, just run that installer. Do not attempt to remove any existing components of the Palm Desktop. And keep in mind that though you may not choose to use it at all, its HotSync Manager and Transport Monitor components are critical to the operation of iSync.

Centro won't Hotsync Calendar and Contacts with desktop

Here's my problem. I hotsync, but my Calendar and Contacts don't transfer to or from the handheld to the desktop. I'm using a Palm Centro and trying to sync with Palm Desktop 4.2.1 on a MacBook running MacOS 10.4.11.
I already tried a complete restart of my Centro, erasing all user data. I then hotsynced it and it restored from the backup on my MacBook, but this did not fix the problem. It restored my contacts and all my apps to their prior status, but I lost all the Calendar data in my Centro. I still have the data on the MacBook from whenever it was just before it stopped synching correctly.
The log proposes that I run the Contacts and Calendar applications and then run a hotsync. I did that, but no results. I still get the same stuff in the log.
Please help.

This may be dumb, but I did not think to look for this until i called Palm for help...
After I had issues syncing, I re-installed the Palm software..when you do that, it sometimes turns off the ability to sync. To confirm that you have the ability to sync, open Palm Desktop and go to Hotsync --> Setup, and check the HotSync Controls to see if it is "Enabled"
Also, if you have problems syncing with Entourage...try this...

Uninstall Palm Hotsync

I ditched my Palm Treo 650 so now I need to uninstall Palm desktop, Hotsync, etc. from my MacBook Pro. I tried moving the Palm folder to the trash, but the Palm icon still shows up in iSync. I tried following uninstall instructions from the Palm website, which basically calls for downloading and starting reinstallation of the applications, then selecting an uninstall option from a menu. However, the menu referred to never appeared!
Anyone know how I can do a clean uninstall of the Palm Desktop, Hotsync, conduits, etc?

After searching the Palm support forums I discovered that I am not the only one with this problem - it is a well-known issue and Palm has not attempted to address it even though it's been identified for at least 2 years. I found a helpful workarounds which basically involved using the Finder search to locate and delete files/folders with "Palm" or "Hotsync" in them. This link was particularly helpful:
http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=macintosh_hotsync&message.id= 4235&query.id=244026#M4235
That didn't remove the device from iSync, however, resulting in an eror message when iSync was launched. I eventually solved that problem by selecting iSync in the Application folder, clicking More Info, then Plug-Ins, and deleting the Palm plug-ins (see my later post in this Discussion).

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.

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?

Outlook 2007 conduits and Windows 7

I'm attempting to sync my Palm V to Outlook 2007 before abandoning the old guy. I've had it for 10 years, it's served me perfectly well, but laptops just don't have serial ports any more and it's probably time to move on.
I've downloaded the Outlook 2007 conduits and installed them (running the exe as Administrator, just in case). It says that the installation is successful, but I see no evidence of it, and the instructions don't really tell me what to look for. I assume that I'll see something different either in the HotSync conduit list or in the options when I choose Change, but I see neither. Synching just continues to sync the Palm Desktop. The machine has been rebooted.
This is the 32-bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate, Palm Desktop 4.1.4, and Outlook 2007 from the Office Enterprise package. Any help anyone can give me would be very appreciated - losing this data would be like losing old diaries.

Hi
You can journal your mail and have a 3rd party vendor archive your mail like symantec etc.
PST files bigger than 2GB will cause issues.
You can set an exclusion on that folder so its not scanned.

My Palm IIIxe crashed and I can't find my data...

I have a Palm IIIxe (yes, it's old) but it works or worked for me. I don't use it too often, maybe twice a month. When I tried to use it I noticed nothing happened when I turned it on. Dead Batteries. When I replaced the batteries I had no data. No problem, I'll just sync it to my computer (windows XP). After I went through the motions of sync. I got lots of errors and there was still no data on my handheld. I tried to open the Palm on my desktop, but got "Error: Failed to open Address Data Base". All I could do is click OK and the palm SW closed and sent an error report to Microsoft.... What do I do now, I have no access to my data. I still have the Desktop software v3.1 that came with the device and the handbook. I am temped to uninstall the SW and reinstall, but I don't want to loose all my data. Can anyone help???
Post relates to: Palm IIIxe

check the username assigned to the device.
open hotsync icon in the device and check the upper right hand corner.
remember that username.
warning: this process is very critical to your part as you no longer have information/data in your device.
you can opt to disregard this however, if you can perfectly execute this one there is a possibility that you can still recover your data.
you can also reopen the palm desktop software.
saving your username folder/data:
1. right click palm desktop icon and choose properties
2. click on find target button to open the palm folder
3. locate the username folder (similar or same to what you assigned to the device)
4. once you are able to identify the username folder, right click on that folder
5. choose copy and paste it to your desktop (you are now have a backup of your data in the desktop)
6. after copying is done, right click again the username folder and rename it to username-old
7. close everything in the PC
8. verify the username you copied in the desktop if it is there
9. attempt to open the palm desktop software
once the palm desktop is open then you are able to eliminate the corrupted files.
you can then check the contents of the username folder you saved in the desktop if the files in each folder have significant file sizes.
this is for you to make sure that you have significant data to import.
importing files from the saved username to the palm desktop:
1. open palm desktop
2. click or choose datebook
3. click file and choose import
4. in the look in drop down menu, locate the username folder you save in the desktop and open it
5. locate the datebook folder and open it

7. locate the file datebook.dat or sometimes if the file extensions are not shown it will just show datebook
8. highlight that file and choose import
9. importation will then follow
