Palm IIIc and Mac OS 10.5.8

Trying to resurrect a IIIc that has set idle for at least 5 years. First question, doesn't seem to charge.... red light comes on and goes off after a few minutes of time in cradle, so it probably needs a new battery? Second question is: when changing battery, will I loose all files and info previously stored on the Palm when I disconnect battery? THird question,: I used to sync up to a Mac OS of 9, no longer have the Mac due to a home fire, will I be able to eventually hookup to a MacBook running 10.5.8 and do I need new software for this system? Thanks for any help.....

I'm having the same problem using OS 10.5 and Meeting Maker 8.7.1b63 on MacBookPro and Palm TX. Syncs fine on Power PC G5 running 10.4. Get same error message using 10.5: "log4cplus:ERROR no appenders could be found for logger (log4cplus.logger.mm.support.exception). log4cplus:ERROR Please initialize the log4cplus system properly."
Any resolution to your problem?

Palm OS and Mac Leopard Question

Hi, I am using a Palm Treo 755p (Sprint). It is currently connected to a Mac running OS 10.4.11 (with issues in syncing, I might add....mostly duplicates appear/secondary addresses 'gone') with Palm Desktop 4.2.1 software, connected for HotSync via USB.
I just got a new Mac running Leopard 10.5.6 and before I install any Palm Software, I want to make sure that Palm Desktop 4.2.1 is the most recent/correct version, and that it WILL work and not mess up a clean, new computer installation.
So...is the Palm Desktop software compatible with Leopard? Are there any compatibility issues?????
Thanks....and anxiously awaiting the Pre and NEW software! Yeah.

Yes, Palm Desktop 4.2.1 is compatible with Mac OS 10.5.6 and I have two computers running on it without problems

Palm IIIc recharge problem

I found my Palm IIIc, and I got it recharging for a bit, but now when I try to recharge it, I put it on the cradle, it says that it recharges, but the light is not on and I have tested, without the light, it doesn't recharge. I'd like to use this Palm IIIc again. I have tried all the resets.
No, I'd like to keep this Palm.
Post relates to: Palm IIIc

If you have tried all resets including the "in-cradle" reset which supposedly resets the internal charging circuitry, then it seems to me you are facing a hardware problem...either internally with the Palm (i.e. the connector is bad or the battery is a goner), or the charging cradle and/or AC adapter are bad (seems unlikely, but possible).
Sending the IIIc in to Palm for repair is a bad option (like, $150 for out-of-warranty repair). You can spend a bit of money for a new cradle and/or AC adapter, and if that doesn't do it, spend more money trying to replace the battery yourself (go to www.pdaparts.com ) with no guarantee in either case that you'll fix it.
By the time it's all said and done, you might easily spend nearly what it would have cost you to buy something new...or, if you really like the IIIc, a replacement IIIc on eBay.
Bottom line: You might luck out with a new cradle/charger...or replacing the battery yourself might be successful, and fun to try at the same time if you like tinkering. But as the commercial says, "you can pay me now, or you can pay me later."

Handango has a freeware suite which contains an older version of Firepad Fireviewer here: http://www.handango.com/catalog/ProductDetails.jsp?storeId=2218&deviceId=39&platformId=1&productId=1... . I have this on my Palm IIIc and it works quite well. I have tried just about everything else and this is the only freeware I have found that works. The images actually look quite good for 8-bit color, and if you don't mind black and white, the 16-bit greyscale is cool too.

Sync Palm treo with Mac and Windows

Have a Palm Treo 650 for both personal and work use. Unse a Windows box at work and a Mac at home. I can sync the Palm with my Mac, and I can sync it with Outlook in Windows, but doing this leads to problems, especially multiple entries in both calendar and contacts.
What I'd like to do is set the Palm up to sync with Outlook on the Windows box, and have it overwrite the data on the Mac when I sync at home. I can't find options for this in iSync 2 (merge data or overwrite device).
Any suggestions?

Troubleshooting Address Book issues using Palm Desktop for Mac (v. 4.2.1) and a T3?

Can someone please make suggestions which would correct the following issues?
1) When printing an Address Book from my Mac, the information in the "title" field prints twice. (I have checked my Preferences settings & reviewed how I have entered the information, etc. and everything is in order; also, an Address CARD DOES print correctly --- and --- after syncing to my T3 and then to my husband's PC, an Address Book prints correctly from the PC.)
2) After I have synced the Address Book from my Mac to my T3, the "zip code" entries appear BEFORE the "city" entries on the T3. (The zip codes appear correctly on my Mac and print out correctly.)
3) After I have synced the Address Book from my Mac to my T3, the "contacts" all appear in BLACK on my T3. Is there any way to show the different "contact categories" in COLOR on the T3 as they were originally entered in my Palm Desktop for Mac?

Trying to sync Palm IIIc with Powerbook

I have been trying to sync a Palm IIIc with my Powerbook which is currently running Tiger (I cannot run OS 9 at all).
I bought the IIIc on eBay and it works flawlessly except for the fact that it won't sync. I can click on the hotsync square on the screen of the IIIc and get two options :
1. Direct Serial
or
2. IR (Infrared) to PC/Handheld.
It came with a cable that has the docking connection on one and and a dual splitter on the other - one lead has the serial (female) end and the other is a USB connector. I am able to charge it on the PB using the USB but likely only because it is a powered USB port.
I have tried two different serial to USB adapters and so far, the Powerbook still is not seeing the IIIc.
A friend is giving me a cradle from his old IIIe but it has a serial connection. I expect I will have the same problem with this cradle.
Does anybody have any suggestions ?
Is there an adapter that can be used with OS X/Tiger ?
I have installed Palm Desktop 4.2.1 and have iSync.

Sync Palm m500 to Mac OS 10.4.3. Possible?

I've just moved from using Mac OS 10.3.9 to 10.4.3 and I'd like to sync my "old" Palm m500 to it. With the previous OS I had Conduit manager v 3.2 and I could sync with no problems whatsoever. Now I wonder if I can sync Palm m500 with Tiger. I've been checking in Palm and Apple sites but I haven't found any useful information. Reading some of your comments in the forum I realize I might have problems using the new version of isync. On top of that I know my Palm is not precisely the latest model, but it works so well I don't fancy buying a new one. Can somebody help? Thanks.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Palm recommends that for the m500 series of handheld organizers, that you install the Palm Desktop 4.2.1 version A, available here:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421.html
With this handheld, you need not first install software from the CD-ROM that was supplied with your device, as it does not contain unique software for your device.
After installing the Palm Desktop, Apple recommends that you first synchronize with it prior to configuring and using iSync. Once you've done that, launch iSync and select Enable Palm OS Syncing… from the Devices menu, and follow the instructions which appear. At the conclusion of this step, your device will appear in iSync. You can then press the Palm icon in its main window to drop down a configuration pane, which lets you specify how iSync interacts with specific contact groups and calendars.
If you intend to synchronize with other devices, including .Mac, you should also open the Preferences… dialog under the iSync menu, and check or enable all three options under the General tab. Then, each time you synchronize, you should…
• launch iSync
• select Sync Now from beneath the Sync Status icon in your menu bar, and
• press you HotSync button when prompted to do so by the dialog
And, when you've successfully done all this - and find youself unhappy with the manner in which iSync performs - you should consider purchasing and installing the far more flexible, robust, feature-rich and reliable synchronization software from Mark/Space: The Missing Sync for Palm OS. More information about that package is available here:
http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php
One caution: The Missing Sync for Palm OS should be installed only after you have successfully synchronized at least once with both the Palm Desktop and with iSync.

Palm IIIc - Trying to sync with Entourage on a G5 Tower

I am certain this issue has probably been ansewered in the past, but I would like to know the process I must follow in order to sync my Palm IIIc with my Entourage contact list.
Also, I would like to know how to send programs down the line to this device.
I tried to use the instructions I was directed to by Palm's web site. But, I keep getting the following dialog box:
Application Launch Failure
The application "HotSync Manager" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "4<HotSync Manager><HotSync Manager><HotSyncLib.PPC>"
I used to use this device with my old G3 iMac. I bought the USB kit so I could use it then and it worked like a champ. It has not been used in a few years. I took it out the other day and thought I would use it again. But, this problem has me perplexed.
I am running Tiger (OS X ver. 10.4.3) on my G5 (single CPU 1.8GHz "late 2004") with 1.25 GB of RAM.
I probably need to update the OS version on the Palm IIIc. But, until I can get the communications working, that is academic.
If someone who has lots of experience with syncing devices like this could provide me with a sequence of events I must follow in order to make this work, I would really appreciate it.
Like I said earlier, I would like to be able to sync my Entourage contact list and appointment schedule with this device. Also, I would like to be able to download Palm software from my G5 to the handheld.
Thanks!

I had Entourage configured incorrectly.

Using Palm IIIc with OS 10.4.5 on Powerbook

Hi,
I just purchased a Palm IIIc on eBay but am now realizing that it may have been a mistake.
All I want to be able to do is run a couple of games (i.e. Sudoku) on it and keep my appointments organized.
I have a 15" AL Powerbook and will be using a Palm hotsync cradle with a serial to USB adapter.
Will this work ?

Hi KMoorehouse,
Well, I still have my Palm IIIx kicking around but I've never actually connected it to my PowerBook. First, you'll need something like this to change over the serial to USB. I'm not sure which version of Palm desktop software you're using (3.something or maybe 4.0). There are some known issues with version 4.0 which Palm has posted on their site here. I guess the only thing to do at this point is install the software, connect the IIIc (after you get a serial to USB adaptor) and try it out. Good luck.

Lion: Connecting to legacy (pre-Lion) AFP services - and Mac OS X (server)

After upgrading to MacOS X Lion, it was discovered that it was not possible to logon to Novell-shares and NAS-boxes (e.g. Qnap).
Here is a recipe that has been tested OK with the following combinations:
* Mac OS X Lion -> Novell shares
* Mac OS X Lion -> Mac OS X 10.5 server
* Mac OS X Lion -> Mac OS X Lion
Please note that the command-lines themselves must not have CR/NL-characters. Copy the commands to a text-editor and remove format-inserted CR/NL-characters.
Another note: Your logon will be less secure with these changes. Later when e.g. Novell and/or your NAS-box support native Lion-logon, then please remove the AppleShareClient-parameter changes again with the first block.
Recipe:
The following block can be skipped if you have not previously changed AppleShareClient-parameters:
sudo -s
chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
cd /Library/Preferences/
rm com.apple.AppleShareClient.plist*
! Restart
The following block makes it possible to logon to: (1) Novell-shares (2) Pre Lion Mac-OS-X-volumes - and possibly non-native Lion logon NAS-shares:
sudo -s
chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
! Restart
You now have to logon a real account (non-guest) on another Mac OS X Lion volume
to catalyst a creation of AppleShareClient-files. (See Apple-support-link) (Is this necessary?)
! instead?:
/bin/sleep 60
chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "MS2.0" "2-Way Randnum exchange"
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "DHX2"
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "DHCAST128"
chmod o-w /Library/Preferences
PS:
Possibly all volume-links may be deletes and recreated to use the new logon-parameters?

Palm IIIc won't start up

I have an older Palm IIIc that has worked beautifully for many years. The battery still holds a charge. Then suddenly I press the power button and it will not boot up. I have recharged the battery and checked connections. Finally tried a reset but still nothing. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Post relates to: Palm IIIc

Hello tinaolea and welcome to the Palm forums.
Your Treo is stuck in a reset loop. To break out of it, you will need to hard reset your Treo. To learn how to reset your Treo, please read this Palm KB article. To reload your data and applications on your Treo after the hard reset is performed, simply sync your Treo to your computer and select your existing HotSync ID.

Question on Palm 500 and BlackBerry Storm--please help!

Hi, I'm not sure where to post this, but here is my story.
For several years, I've had a Palm 500.
I believe, when I purchasedit,I had to choose to Hot Sync between either my PC at home or my Mac at work. I chose to Hot Sync at home and that was an error because I was mostly using it for work. In time, I got tired of tapping everything in with the stylus and mostly use it as an address book now, even though I have $hundreds in third-party apps going unused.
Recently, I’ve been considering buying a BlackBerry Storm. I don’t really plan to use it on the Net but Verizon says I have to pay $30 a month just for web fees or I can’t get that phone. My husband says there is a way nowadays to HotSync to both a PC and a Mac. Or at least for me to hook up the Palm 500 to the Mac at work and be able to use iCal etc. there.
If I choose to buy the BlackBerry he says I can transfer all my Palm data to the BB.
Can anyone tell me: 1. Is any of this true? 2. If I stay with the Palm how do I get the necessary hardware/software for my iMac? 3. Should I just deep-six the Palm 500 because it’s so old?
I really need some kind of organization software/device because deadlines are piling up and I’m gonna get in trouble on my job!
Thanks!!!

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
You always had the ability to sync with two different desktops, even of different platforms. This Palm Knowledgebase Article discusses how to Hotsync one device on two different desktops:
http://tinyurl.com/kq4c5
The Mac hotsync software is downloadable from the support/download site linked above if you don't have your original installation disc. Just be sure you pay heed to the article's instructions about only using ONE desktop for full 2-way sync, using the second desktop for one-way sync (Handheld Overwrites Desktop) as a clone of the other.
As for the BB Storm, I am unfamiliar with it but it looks like you would probably have to sync with M$ Outlook or some other organizer app which is compatible with the Blackberry Desktop software (suggest you peruse the BB site for info). If you don't already sync with Outlook, you would have to migrate your data from Palm Desktop to Outlook. You can do that but you might need your original installation disc. I'm not sure whether the m500 came with Outlook conduits or Chapura Pocket Mirror to sync with Outlook...and I'm just a little bit frustrated right now trying to find stuff on the newly redesigned web site to be able to point you to the right answer on that.
Whether to deep-six the m500 or not is a tough one. Palm's handheld PDA business is pretty much a goner...no new stand-alone PDAs are planned, and the "current" models (TX, E2 and Z22) now seem to be at the end of their production life. So it seems that whatever is still out there in the supply stream (like www.amazon.com where you can get a new TX for something like $270) is probably about it. Your m500 is already a dinosaur, and parts will get harder to come by. But if you like the stand-alone PDA it seems that now would be the time to get a replacement for your m500. Their speed, display resolution and other capabilities are far superior to your m500.
