Palm III won't connect to software

Hello. I have a 3Com Palm III PDA, and a Serial to USB Adapter I got off eBay (seller was Colordrives.) I downloaded the software for the Palm III off Palm's website (4.2.1 Rev A) and installed it. I tried to connect the Palm III to the software and it just isn't working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You might checkout *Missing Sync* from MarkSpace.com (commercial product).
I use Missing Sync for my Palm based Sony CLIE TH55. Palm stopped updating their Mac software several years ago and have not kept up with operating system changes. MarkSpace.com has stepped in to fill that gap.
I do not know if Missing Sync will work with your Palm III, but it is worth checking out.
The other thing you might try is going over to 1src.com and doing some searches. You may find some already posted information over there. 1src.com was a major Palm related forum. I learned a lot over there with regards to Palm and my TH55.

  • Palm TX won't connect to new Windows 7 laptop

    I've been trying to get my TX to connect to a new Toshiba laptop.  I first tried to hotsync via USB and discovered on this forum why that wouldn't work - no 64-bit USB driver, apparently.  I read as much as I could find here, and tried everything I could, and I think I'm close to a solution, but I'm stuck.
    I set up an ad-hoc network on the laptop and connected to it in the laptop's control panel>network and sharing center>connect to a network.  It shows the ad-hoc network as connected, "waiting for users."  When I scan for networks in the TX, it finds the ad hoc network, but won't connect to it. 
    In a Palm.com support link I found here, it said that I can't sync via wifi until I have synced via cable, which of course I can't do.  Is that my problem?  I'm thinking it's not; at least, not yet.  I need to establish the connection before I can attempt a wifi  hotsync. 
    Toshiba M505, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4MB RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Palm Desktop by Access v6.2.2, Hotsync v7.0.2
    Palm TX, Palm OS Garnet v5.4.9, Network Hotsync v4.0
    Thanks in advance for any help I get...

    Before we go on, I would suggest using the free "NVBackup" to make a perfect compressed copy of your TX placed on your SD card.  This will insure no data loss.  If you're already using it, Great!  If not, you can find it here:  NVBackup
    Ok, let's review.  You are trying to sync via Wifi to your new Win7 laptop, correct?  And you have successfully installed Palm Desktop by Access version 6.2.2.
    You've been following my guide from the "How to sync a TX to Vista64 via Wifi" thread.
    The laptop is connected wirelessly to your router and can go online.  You've made the necessary setting changes in the Hotsync Manager (to make it use a "Network TCP/IP" connection).   HotSync Manager is present and running and has been allowed through the Firewall(s).   You've determined the exact IP address of the laptop by either using the DOS command   "ipconfig /all"  or by viewing the active connections list in your router's status pages, and entered the numbers correctly on the TX. 
    On your TX, you've opened the HotSync icon, and checked the pull-down menu:  Modem Sync prefs is set to "Network" and LANSync Prefs is set to "LANSync" (not Local Hotsync).
    The TX has Wifi turned on, and is connected to your network.  Pressing the HotSync button on the TX's screen should initiate a connection to the laptop.
    One glitch I ran into the other night.  Recently, I changed the encryption scheme on my router to WPA2 (AES) to gain speed with my /n laptop.  The TX can handle this since I installed the paid Wifi update on it.  It did begin to have problems completing a Wifi HotSync!    The laptop started the HotSync fine, but it ended before completion each time.  (The $6 update is not necessary to sync via Wifi.  Things worked well previously).
    My solution?  Hard-wire into the router with a LAN cable.  I turned off the Wifi on the laptop via the switch, cabled into the router and found my new IP address.  I entered it into the TX and away we Synced! 
    If you still have problems, it might require reinstalling Palm Desktop with all the precautions in place -- Admin prviledges, Anti Virus software turned off during the install, etc.  See if you can sync with the desktop before importing your data.
    I know this method works, and several other users have chimed in on the sticky thread that Win7 works this way too!

  • Palm TX won't connect to computer via WiFi for Hotsync

    I've tried the network Hotsync on all my computers, XP, Vista 32 and Vista 64 (which started the whole attempt) and the device fails to connect to the computer, even when I put in the IP address.
    My wireless network sees the Palm and I am able to access the Internet through it, but it won't connect to my computers. Any suggestions?

    Here's my Wifi Hotsync help file:
    Wifi HotSync with a TX
    1. On your PC, locate the HotSync Manager (little HotSync icon in the lower right tool tray on a Winbox). Click on it and check off "Network", then click again and select Setup.
    2. Pick the Network tab up top in the window that opens, and find your HotSync name in the list. Make sure it's checked.
    3. Tap the TCP/IP button, and look at the IP address listed for "Primary PC Address". Write it down.
    4. Turn on Wifi on your Palm and connect to your router.
    5. On your Palm, select the HotSync program and tap the word "Network" above the HotSync icon in the middle of the screen. Below it, enter the IP address you wrote down in step 3. (Include the periods!).
    6. Tap the big HotSync icon above the IP address, and hold on!
    7. If you're holding on, and nothing happens try a wired HotSync, then try the Wifi HotSync again. Sometimes, information has to transfer from your PC after you check off the Network option. Also, be sure to watch for any Firewall activity asking you about "HotSync.exe is trying to access your hard drive" etc. You may need to set a rule to allow it.
    On your TX, check these settings from the pull-down menu in Hotsync:
    Modem Sync: Network
    LanSync: :LANSync
    Network Setup: (Wifi should be listed as one of the networks)

  • Palm TX won't connect to WRT300N

    I have a Palm TX and a WRT300N. The palm will not connect unless the router is set B only. It connect immediately on B only, but will not connect on B/G mixed or B/G/N mixed. I know it's not the Palm, becuase I can connect to other G routers, and all my computers can connect fine to the router in N, G or B mode, so I don;t think the router is broken. I've tried it will WPA, WEP and no security. It always connect using B and never otherwise.

    Changing the channel did not work (I had tried that). It works on all channels when set to B only, and never when set to any mixed modes.

  • IChat won't connect and Software Update will not run.

    Hi, all,
    Sorry if something like this has already come up, and I apologise if this is the incorrect forum to post this in. I searched and didn't see anything identical to my issue (I didn't search very hard, but I did search), so I figured posting a topic might be the best way to go. I know this is two problems, but I decided to post it in the iChat forum in case the two were related.
    I bought this computer and received it yesterday. It's a 15 inch MacBook Pro, i5, 10.6.4. It worked fine this morning, software update ran, ichat worked fine.
    Now, when I try to connect to iChat, it takes a good ten minutes to try to connect, and then it sends me an error that says "You have been disconnected from iChat services. An internal error occurred that disconnected you from all iChat services. To resume using iChat, log in again to your instant messaging account." So, I quit iChat, and restarted it, but now it won't even show me my buddy list saying "connecting....". It just starts and sits there, and all the options are greyed out. I tried going into the security settings and changing the port to 443, but that's greyed out, too.
    So I thought I would try to run software update, and software update opens, but it doesn't ... go. It shows the little blue bar, and it's not frozen, but it doesn't advance at all, and it never gives me the option to go to the "install updates" screen because it doesn't check. I went into my network settings to check my connection, and I'm definitely connected to the internet (I mean, I'm typing this ON the MacBook Pro right now), but the panel says I'm not. I can hit "cancel" and quit software update.
    I already reinstalled the OS and the update to 10.6.4, and it's still the same issue.
    Help, anyone? This computer is brand new and I really don't want to have to erase and reinstall.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    On the changing the port front stop off on the Account Info tab on the way a deselect "Use this Account" to take it Off Line. (you can get half way states)
    You should then find the port 5190 is dark text so it can be edited.
    You should press the Enter key to "Set" the port change (this is different to earlier versions of iChat)
    Also try it with the SSL option disabled.
    If this is an AIM Login (AIM or Apple Name) their SSL server is more prone to "Falling over". iChat should default to using an Non SSL Login on a reconnection front it can be subject to a time frame issue.
    Next check the Mac Firewall (System Preferences > Security > Firewall tab)
    If this is On in Snow Leopard you have to go to the Advanced Button and Allow Signed Apps and Add iChat to the list.
    I favour the last suggestion as this may also block Software Update (Although I nm not sure how you got to 10.6.4 although it is a separate Download you can get).
    I would also check you have DNS servers listed in System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab

  • TS1741 Apple TV won't connect after software update

    Apple TV worked superbly until I updated the software today.
    Now it won't work, asks me to connect to a PC.
    I don't have a desktop, and don't have the appropriate USB lead to connect Apple TV to a PC...

    Take the device to a friends and restore it via their computer or take it to an Apple store.

  • Ipod mini won't connect after software update

    I was using my ipod mini without problems on my mac powerboook until I downloaded and installed the latest ipod software updater yesterday. Since installing the application and clicking update in the software I can't get my computer to recognise the mini at all no matter what I do. Neither Itunes or the software updater sees my ipod and the ipod itself either says do not disconnect or shows a folder icon with an exclamation mark. Anybody know how to get out of this limbo state it seems to be in?

    One thing you can try (AT YOUR OWN RISK - though I have done this on my own iPod mini using my PB and it has fixed issues similar to those that you are reporting), connect the iPod to your mac and then launch the disk utility app. If you're on a windows machine, this obviously won't help you although there may be a similar procedure. When the disk utility app comes up, if your iPod shows up in the left panel after a moment, highlight it by clicking on the name. If you try to verify it, you'll probably get a report of errors - don't panic - go to the erase pane and erase the drive (I think you can select either format with journaled or unjournaled - they both seem to work for me). MAKE SURE YOU"VE SELECTED THE iPOD DISK BEFORE YOU ERASE THE DRIVE!!!
    After you erase the drive, you'll need to reapply the latest iPod update to restore the iPod OS (if you don't do this you may still be able to load music but it won't play and you'll still see the exclamation point display). After you reapply the update, you will hopefully back to normal. Re load your tunes and enjoy your iPod again!
    Hope this helps.

  • Palm Pro won't connect to Windows XP via USB

    I can't get my Palm Pro to connect to windows XP.  When I connect it, via the USB connection, it prompts that it has found new hardware, however the ActiveSync portion fails and nothing happens.  I've uninstalled & installed the software twice and even dug into the registery to make sure it was completely cleaned out.  Futhermore, it connects to my laptop at home no problems.    Firewall is disabled. 
    Thoughts?   
    Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Sprint)

    In device manager you do not see any listing for the Palm or Windows Mobile device, but you see the DM jump or blink. When you connect the USB cable, do you get a beep-beep low then high, or a triple gong sound. The triple gong sound would indicate that the connection is established, but the device is not recognized. You may have a driver issue that require a clean uninstall / reinstall. I am guessing that you did try another USB port. Here are the steps for the clean uninstall / reinstall:
    Full uninstall of PD on XP:
    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 and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
    did not sync before you create a hotsync name.

  • Palm LifeDrive won't connect

    Hi all,
    I have just replaced my old Airport Extreme 'mushroom' base station (802.11b/g) with one of those brick shaped ones (802.11n). I have configured it to use b/g compatibilty mode, but I have no luck connecting my LD to it. The PDA detects the network and shows it in the available networks list, but when I try to select it, it just says 'no connection'. I have tried enabling/disabling the MAC address control of the Base, and enabling/disabling password security also, but even with all restrictions disabled, the LD still acts the same.
    Any clue?

    HSF58,
    Is your PC an HP brand?
    If it is, it is probably 64bit Vista and you will not be able to sync your device using the USB cable. To verify the Windows version, go to computer, right click and go to properties. You should see the version number on that screen.
    If you have 64bit Vista, you can do a Bluetooth hotsync.
    Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding Setting up a Bluetooth HotSync operation with a desktop PC.

    I have used a Belkin 54g for years with no problem. I set up a Netgear N300 and my Palm TX won't connect. I even tried using guest connect with no security and still nothing. I'm stuck. All of my other equipment connects just fine.

  • Internet Connect crash/Software Update won't open

    I have a 500mhz G3 slot loading iMac running 10.3.9
    About 2 weeks ago, after waking FrankenMac up from sleep mode, I noticed the Airport status symbol failed to appear in the menu bar (next to the volume/date&time etc).
    Looking into my Network settings revealed that I was indeed still connected to the internet, via my Airport, all systems go. However, I noticed that "show airport status in menu bar" was unchecked, so I checked the box. Which apparently did jack squat b/c there's still no icon.
    For the last couple weeks, as long as I've been connected to the internet, I could really give a flying flip about whether the airport status icon is there or not. I mean, seriously. I know this computer is a little old so why rock the boat on something trivial?
    Until today. Today I was determined to figure out where the icon is, why it went away and if there are any other underlying problems.
    I started first with Internet connect. Applications->Internet Connect, clicked on the purple IC button, only to have it launch in the dock, bounce once, then quit.
    _A crash log shows:_

    I attempted to open Software Update next to see if there was something critical (ha!) I might be missing. Apple menu->software update and it was a repeat performance of Internet Connect, except this time I wouldn't even get so much as the Software Update icon in the dock. The dock would move everything to the left, as if it was going to open, then....nothing.

    This ridiculously long post boils down to 2 questions, really.
    • Any ideas why Internet Connect and Software Update won't open and how to fix?
    • Where in the world is my Airport status icon? (not that it matters since I'm connected to the internet, but doggone it!)
    I've run Disk Utility, repaired permissions and the HD checks out fine. I'm just at a loss (not surprising, given my limited amount of fix-it-yerself knowledge)
    Should I just put up, shut up and be grateful that these problems, while aggravating, aren't majorly disrupting my life?

    Okay no worries, can't find where to delete this post...

  • Deskjet Advantage 3540 (Envy 4500): Computer won't connect with printer during software installation

    I just bought this printer and I am trying to install it by using the HP installation CD but I am running into difficulties to complete the process. The problem is that the computer won't connect with the printer (but my printer connects fine with my Wi-Fi network) and installation does not complete.
    The HP software installation process appears to go  normally (at least no error messages are shown) but when it gets to the part where it asks me how I would like to connect to the printer (Wireless or USB cable) I get an error message when I select Wireless Mode. My printer appears listed but as soon as I select it, a dialog is shown stating that "network installation could not be performed".
    Below are the dialogs and what happens (text is in portuguese but you get the idea)
    Dialog 1: selecting wireless connection mode
    Dialog 2: printer appears in list and I select it
    Dialog 3: Error message is shown, no further details
    Here are some more facts:
    (1) Printer connect fines with my Wi-Fi network: the connection details are correctly shown in its display (Wi-Fi SSID and IP 192.168.0.6) ;
    (2) If I go to a web browser in my computer and type in the IP address, I can access the printer's webpage fine;
    (3) I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling HP software;
    (4) I've resetted my router;
    (5) I've executed "HP Print and Scan Doctor" utility and it states my software hasn't been installed (which I don't understand) and it tries to download HP software and install one more time and I get to the error.
    (6) If I go to "Start" menu, I can see the HP group is empty (installation only creates icons on my desktop). See picture below:
    My OS is Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate (Service Pack 1)
    EDIT: I've just discovered the inkjet Advantage 3540 and Envy 4500 appear to be the same printer, each target to a different market.
    Help is much appreciated as I tried a lot of things to make this printer work wirelessly with my computer but without success.
    Thank you,
