Palm III and Vista/Windows 7

I have a Palm III that I still use. Moving to a new computer with Vista (soon Windows 7). Is there a way to sync the Palm III to Outlook 2007 Contacts running on Vista? My understanding is that there is not a Palm Desktop for Vista that will work with the Palm III.

Could I upgrade software in Palm III and Palm V?

As the topic says, can I update firmware in Palm III and Palm V?
Could a Palm III update package be beamed to Palm III from Palm V?
If Palm V can be updated, plz post a link to an update pack and a short explanation how-to-update (if the forum rules don't ban posting links to update packs, of course)

If the information is in iTunes on the computer you have synced with in the past another sync, being sure you select the items you want on the iphone, should copy those things back to the iPhone.

Hmm. Sorry to hear it's giving you trouble. I really don't know much (well, anything) about Vista except what I read here, and will try to avoid it for as long as humanly possible.
But that doesn't help you. The Hotsync Troubleshooting support article from Palm might be of some help. It might have to do with getting a clean uninstall of the old Palm software from your Vista desktop. There is also a USB Registry Utility which can tidy up FUBAR registry entries, but I believe that is only intended for XP or earlier versions of Windows.
Also, what kind of PC connection does the Hotsync cable have...is it USB, or are you using a Serial-to-USB adapter? That might be another contributing factor to the problem.

ITunes and Vista Windows on new computer

I just bought a new computer which has Vista installed - my old computer (Windows XP) had my ITunes on it. I have been trying to install ITunes on this Vista (Home Premium) computer and it will not install, I get this message when I try to install it.
ITunes could note be installed because Visual Basic Script (VBScript) is not installed or has been disabled. Make sure VBScript is installed, turn off script blocking in anti-virus and personal firewall software, re-register VBScript, and then install ITunes.
I have no idea what this means or how to fix whatever it is, can someone help me or tell me of a website I can find to help fix this problem.
Thanks for any info
Darlene

This might help

Lots of problems with Vista installs. Eventually Apple will update iTunes to install/run better on Vista. Nobody knows when.

Using Palm III with Vista

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
It depends on the version of Vista you have (32-bit or 64-bit):
32-bit Vista: should sync with Hotsync cable using Palm Desktop 6.2 (Support & Downloads link above) along with free PalmHotsyncSetup utility from www.pimlicosoftware.com
64-bit Vista: since there are no 64-bit drivers, your only hope is to sync with Infrared beaming using an IRDA adapter ("dongle") on your computer, along with the above software combination.
Good luck, let us know how you make out with it.

Hot Sync with Windows Vista, Windows 7`

I have a client with a large deployment of Palm III and Palm IIIc devices. They are looking for a HotSync Manager that is compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7, and that will still support sync operations with Palm III and Palm IIIc devices.

Acrobat Pro version 6 not working in vista ( Windows 7 ) ?

What is the problem with adobe Acrobat pro version 6 and vista (windows 7)?.....really annoying having to upgrade later version costing hundreds of pounds

I am not sure if VISTA has the same problem as Win7 or not. For Win7, the AcroTray application that is used for PDF creation (both when printing to the Adobe PDF printer and with PDF Maker in AA6) will likely not work correctly. This may also be the case with VISTA. To get around this problem you have to print-to-file (you can change the PDF Port to FILE in the printer properties). After the file is create, you can open it in Distiller to complete the PDF creation. It may be possible to create watched folders to automate this process, but is not as ideal. In any case, you will likely have to use a work around. Also, update your AA6 (currently at 6.0.6). I have been able to do this with AA5 on Win7 as a test and it did indeed work. There may still be other issues for AA5 on Win7, but that was the major one.
All of these changes came from the rewrite that Adobe had to do to be compatible with the new OSs, not a trivial task. Do you want to blame Adobe or MS or both? Take your pick, but the end result is that it is time to upgrade. Unfortunately, AA6 can not be upgraded to AAX. You have to buy AAX at full cost at this point. To get the upgrade you would have to have at least AA7.

Mac software for Palm III?

Hello. While I was cleaning out my cupboard, I pulled out my old 3Com Palm III and the HotSync Cradle that I had with it. I was wondering if someone had any software for mac that could communicate with the Palm III. If there is any software, I'll buy a Serial to USB adapter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The correct version of the Palm Desktop and the HotSync Manager is here.

PALM VX and Windows Vista 64Bit

Hey I have been searching all over the site for a solution to my problem and I don't think there is one. I have a Palm VX and I am trying to sync it up with my new Vista Machine. The catch is that my OS is 64-bit I have seen that it says Windows Vista 64 is not compatible, but I have installed Palm Desktop 4.414 and it works fine. But before I order a serial to USB adapter I wanted to know for sure if there is any way around this problem.
Post relates to: Palm Vx

I just recently purchased a new PC with Windows Vista 64-bit. Although I was told and read through postings such as this that synching my Sprint Palm Treo 755p would not be possible. As an IT professional, I was not willing to take no for an answer. I spent the day doing research and am happy to report that as of yesterday I was able to get my Treo to sync up with my Outlook 2007 on the Vista 64-bit OS.
Here is how I did it:
1. I determined that since the Palm Hotsync cable didn't have any drivers to support the 64-bit, I would sync using my Bluetooth dongle.
2. Went to website for dongle (BlueSoleil) and found the Vista 64-bit drivers and downloaded those.
3. Set up the Bluetooth as a network opening Com 5.
4. Set up the Hotsync for network using Com 5
5. Went to Palm website and downloaded the conduits for Outlook 2007
6. Did a Hotsync via Bluetooth with the handheld overwriting Outlook.
7. Downloaded Chapura Pocket Mirror and set the conduits for Outlook.
I am now syncing like the Titanic.

Palm m505 and Windows Vista

I recently resurrected my Palm M505 to start using it again but it doesn't want to hotsync to my computer using Windows Vista. I tried downloading update 6.2 from this site (not that it showed that it would workf for my Palm, but what the heck) but it didn't fix the problem either and I'm getting a fatal error message. Is there a patch or a work around that I can download/use that will allow my Palm to work with Windows Vista? I really don't want to get rid of the Palm and switching operating systems is not an option either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Post relates to: Palm m505

Check the OS version such as 32 bit or 64 bit.
If it's 64bit then the device will not syc. That are no drivers for the device, you might want to consider infrared hotsync.

Palm Z22 and sync with Windows Vista 64-bit system

I have been trying to sync my Palm Z22 with a new laptop that is running the 64-bit Vista. Based on some posts I had located, I ordered an IrDA Wireless Bridge to try to resolve the connection problem. Something isn't working right and I can't figure out how to fix the problem. The IrDA adapter is listing in the hardware option on the computer so it appears to have installed correctly. The laptop has inconsistently recognized the USB connection when I plug it in however. I can not seem to get the IrDA adapter to recognize my Z22. I've got the Z22 set up to use the infrared to transfer information. I have noted that the "beam" feature is ON. I have looked at APPS and have observed that most of those options are "locked" and when I have clicked on "contacts" for example, it says it's a locked app and can not be beamed. I don't know if that is part of the problem or unrelated. I also happened to observe that the Apps are listed as what to transfer with MODEM connection but I'm not sure why that is even showing as a connection option since I've never used the modem to connect.
I can successfully use my Z22 to connect via USB cable to my Vista 32-bit computer system. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in my attempts to use the adapter and connecting the Z22 with the new laptop.
I'm not sure what else to do and would very much appreciate some help with this. Could someone PLEASE tell me what I may be doing wrong re: the setup connection between the adapter and Z22 or any other ideas re: what the problem may be concerning why I'm not yet being successful in getting this setup to work...?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance with this problem.
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Sorry for the delay in replying (bet you were hoping this worked, huh?) but it has taken some time to uninstall & reinstall the Palm software and make numerous attempts to configure the information to again try to sync the Z22 with the laptop. I went back to amazon.com and located the device I'd purchased to confirm it would work with the 64-bit Vista. Someone had posted their success in using the adapter for exactly what I need to do - sync my Z22 with a 64-bit Vista computer. That consumer's posting noted: "The USB 1510 provided the solution. As soon as I plugged it into the USB port of the laptop, Vista went online, found the driver, and installed it. I was able to set up IR Hotsync as I would have on any laptop with a built-in IRDA port."
I don't know what problem I'm having but have noted that my palm desktop software doesn't note what device (Z22) is to be connected and I can't find anything in the HotSync manager that allows me to specify that device. For some reason, I had gotten an error message and it referenced a Treo connection which is odd since I don't have a Treo and I downloaded this Palm desktop from the Z22 site online...? I did note my software on my Z22 is a v. 5 but when I checked various support sites online, it appears to indicate that version on my Z22 would be compatible with the Palm 6.2 version I just downloaded to my computer (and I can't find any information to indicate a newer software for my Z22 is available or how to do that either).
So, I'm back to not being able to get my Z22 to be recognized by my computer via the infrared adapter. I'm hoping that some of the added information I've been able to provide may give another clue of something else I can try before I have to give up and contact Amazon to return this device and either try to decide what other device may be an option. I had checked with a local computer supply store here but they don't carry any type of device for this purpose so that's why I resorted to searching online for a solution to this problem.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may still be able to provide. I really do appreciate your time with this matter.

Windows 7 and Vista hotsync instructions here

Recently I have seen a lot of older devices and the question asked. How to hotsync my device to Windows 7 or Windows Vista? Well there are three ways.
First is good old USB. This depends on if your new OS is a 32bit system. How to tell if your OS is a 32bit system, go to: Start-->Right click on Computer or My Computer and select Properties. Look for the System Type. If it says 32bit then all you need to do is download Palm Desktop 6.2.2 (Download Here) and a 3rd party program from Pimlico Software located here: http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/, and look for a free program at the bottom of the page called: “PalmHotSyncSetup”.
[UPDATE] Aceeca has come out with 64bit drivers for PalmOS devices! It works with Vista64 and Windows 7 64bit versions! See this thread for download links:   64bit Drivers are HERE!
If you have a 64bit OS below is the only two options you have to sync your Palm OS device. If your computer does not have a Bluetooth or IR adaptor be sure to get one that is compatible to the PC you are using.
Second is Bluetooth. Now if your handheld has a Bluetooth radio you can hotsync though this and not have to worry if you have a 32bit or 64bit OS. To set this up download Palm Desktop 6.2.2 and then look up this link: http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/49229_en.html. Depending on your PC you may need to buy a Bluetooth dongle or adaptor. Be sure to get one that is compatible with your system.
Third and last is IR or aka Infrared. This is for the older handheld that do not have Bluetooth. You will need to have an IR port on your computer or find an IR dongle or adaptor for your PC as well. Once you have one look at this link to see how to set one up: http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/1941_en.html
This was posted by forum member Candrews. Here it is if you want to view the whole post yourself: Click Me
1)     If you have a Windows 7 version that is compatible with the Windows XP Mode (Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate), go to the Microsoft website and download Virtual PC and the Windows XP Mode application files (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx). Install both;
2)    Install Palm desktop while in the Windows XP Mode;
3)    Launch the hot synchronization manager while in the XP Mode;
4)     Connect the handheld using the USB cable;
5)      Make sure that the handheld is listed under the USB option in the Windows XP Mode toolbar on the top of the screen (you may have to expand the XP Mode window to see it);
6)      Start the hot synchronization operation;
7)      Go back to the USB option in the Windows XP Mode toolbar and choose “Add” for the Palm devise.
This will start the hot synchronization all right. Tip: If you choose "Add" before starting the syncronization operation, it will not work; follow the sequence above. Obs.: I used the older version of Palm desktop (4.2).
Also as a heads up we do not support Windows 7. The directions here are to help and give a work around for this OS.

Did you have a Bluetooth adaptor before you installed Palm Desktop?
You may need to do a clean uninstall. Here is the directions on how to do that:
You should first make a copy of your data. If you have Palm Desktop 4.2 and lower you can copy your user folder by going to C:\Program files\Palm or PalmOne. Once in here look for your username and right click on it and copy it. Then open up My Documents and Pasting it in here. If you have Palm Desktop 6.2.2 go to My Documents/Documents --> Palm OS Desktop. Copy the folder(s) in here and Paste them in My Documents/Documents
Now you will need to uninstall Palm Desktop. First go to Control Panel and in XP go to Add and Remove documents, in Vista Programs and Features. Then look for Palm Desktop and uninstall it. Then go to C:\Program files\Palm or C:\Program files\PalmOne and delete this folder. If you have Vista you will need to go to here:
C:\Program files\Palm
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\Palm or PalmOne
*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.
One this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your registry.
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 your self 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 help against this we need to do a backup.
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. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
Easiest way to make sure your doing the right one 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 Registry keys are as follows (Note: some of these Registry 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
Next reboot your computer
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you did not sync before create a hotsync name.

Help re: Palm Zire 31 and Vista

Hi- I can't get my palm and Vista to hotsync. "the connection cannot be established." and " software not found" I've downloaded the 6.2 version and still no luck. I have spent so much time trying to figure this out and I'm getting nowhere!Help!
Post relates to: Zire 31

Same question we ask everyone else who asks this question - which version of Vista? 32bit or 64bit?
64bit Vista can only be synced by a wireless method. See the many sticky threads in the Windows HotSync section.
