Palm IIIc - is there any validity left?

I'm trying to resurrect this old model and make it work for my current purposes, though I'm having more than some trouble getting it to do what I want.
Basically, I'm just curious if anyone knows of any solutions to these problems:
1. I need a note-taking program - something better than memopad - that I can type notes into, draw the occasional doodle (schematic drawings for schoolwork), and finally has the ability to transfer everything back to XP in a format I can edit/print. Is there such a piece of software out there? Can a guy still get it?
2. If such a piece of software exists, it likely won't work on OS 3.5.3, and while I've been searching for a way to legally upgrade to 4.1, I've been running into wall after wall. Is there a way I can get my hands on this OS? Am I actually on the right track in believing that this OS will work on the Palm IIIc?
If I can make this good old IIIc work for me, that will make me the happiest Electronics Engineering student out there. If I have to upgrade, I guess I have to upgrade, but I'm willing to give this IIIc a chance - it'll surely be less expensive to make it do what I want to do then to buy a new one, plus a keyboard, extras... etc...
Thanks for reading the long post guys - I hope some of you can help!

I'm not very familiar with the IIIc but have you checked out Diddlebug? It supports 3.5 and is free.

As for a better memo pad (I know you didn't ask but I thought I'd suggest it as well), check out PSMemo, which supports 3.5 as well.

As for converting or transferring the file over to XP, you are really stretching it. The best I've found and use is Suntzu's MemoManager. Not sure if it will support 3.5 (doubt it, but it's worth a try).
You may want to get a screen capture program to capture the screen of your device and then transfer the image over. There's Screenshot Hack (not free)

Wow. Took me a while to rack my brain thinking of what to suggest. Hope it helps

Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

It's either hand right or left.
I have the same issue myself. Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard.

Is there any hope left for my iPod Classic at all?

Okay so for the last few weeks there have been a few glitches with my 160GB iPod Classic, it's a little over 2 years old and admittedly it does get a lot of use. My iPod would not play certain songs and albums that I wanted to listen to, it would stay at 0:00 for a few seconds then skip then repeat the process for every track in the album. At one point, the album started playing through my headphones when the iPod hadn't been on for a few days which really freaked me out. The screen was black and everything. I deleted the files off my iPod and then synced them back on - worked fine. A few of the video files on my iPod stopped being playable. I'd click on one to watch it, there would be a flash of white and then I would have to reboot.
Yesterday it started going a bit weird again so I turned it off, put it on hold, usual stuff. It kept turning itself back on I'm guessing until it finally drained itself of power.
Today I went to charge it with my plug adapter - wouldn't recognise that it was being charged at all. Connected it to my laptop - took a few times but finally got it to recognise my device. Knowing it really needed restoring, I tried restoring it but got error 1439. Worked through everything in the resolutions, nothing helped. Even tried on my other laptop with the same results.
Finally I joined this support community as I could see no other alternative. So far I have attempted to receive my HD stats of which I got the response [device opened] followed by error. (I'm guessing that isn't a good sign.) I'm now working through the 'Erasing Your iPod' suggestion which is taking ages but it seems to be doing something.
If that fails, is my only real option to have it repaired or replaced? I know a lot of people have suggested self-repairs but I'm not very technical and have a tendency to break things beyond repair in my desperation to fix them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If you can't get the HD stat, by using the iPod disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, then your iPod Hardisk need to be replaced.

Is there any valid reason why Wifi calling is not enabled and we have to wait until mid 2015?

It seems like it shouldn't have anything to do with the carrier since its completely off their network. It is a feature and function of the device. I've been living in a dead zone for over a year and was excited to hear Wifi calling was coming with the iOS 8 update. After updating today I found out that Verizon has no plans to enable a feature that Apple has made available now until mid 2015. According to the CFO Fran Shammo, "We built our voice platform so extensively [that] there was never a need for us to tell our customers, 'Oh, our network is not good enough so you need to go on Wi-Fi to complete your call." I know I'm not alone here in an area not covered by Verizon and as tempting as it is to buy their $250 network extender I'd much rather use a FREE alternative that is available NOW and has NO BEARING ON VERIZON'S SPOTTY NETWORK that I have the misfortune of living in.

Would love to have every carrier offer coverage everywhere. Verizon may be the best nationwide, but they don't cover everywhere. When I travel WiFi calling works great in places with little to no coverage no matter what carrier I was using. I end up using my T-Mobile lines when I travel to those locations.
I find places that don't have Verizon coverage tend to be the same areas that don't have broadband internet which renders wi-fi calling moot. Yes there are areas in my county that have poor or no service. As I aid these places do not have broadband internet either. So what good is wi-fi calling to them?
As far as T-Mobile I'd have to drive 70 miles just to get to a 4G area and over 40 miles to even get to an area that provides T-Mobile edge. Now if I'm using wi-fi for both calling and data then what am I paying T-Mobile for?

Are there any more iMacs with optical drives available in Apple stores?

I want a computer that I can use DVDs with. I have many and often order them so I will need to have an optical drive. I don't want something that is not built in. Are there any new left over inventory available of iMacs that previously had this feature?

These > Refurbished iMac - Apple Store (U.S.) both have SuperDrives and carry the same warranty as a new iMac.

Is there any reason not to user Hyper-V anymore?

Where do you get $2-6k from for another hypervisor?
If you need Enterprise Plus and lots of sockets maybe, but the bulk of businesses on here would fit into Essentials or worst case Essentials Plus if they go the vSphere route.
As for Hyper-V, good enough I suspect, but it isn't vSphere.

I've been learning a bit more about Hyper-v over the past few months, mostly in my free time in my home lab. Also been watching some of the 74-409 videos to get a better understanding of the technology.
So far, from what I've seen, Hyper-V has just about every bit of functionality as Xenserver or VMWare -with most of the preexisting complaints having been addressed years ago.
And I also learned something interesting, when the Hyper-V role is installed, the host 2012 server OS becomes a VM, and runs within the hypervisor. I thought that was pretty interesting.
So anyway, are there any complaints left to be lobbied against Hyper-V that would force you to buy a separate hypervisor for $2-6k?

Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?

Hi, Im not a frequent forum poster, as most of my questions can be found already answered on them!
This is a question Ive had for a long time and it amazes me that no-one else seems to ask it. I check at each OS upgrade but its never there...
Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
I was able to do this years ago in MS Outlook, and utilized it all the time when I needed to push things back, now I have to open the event and select an new date in the drop-down calendar for each & every event I want to move to a new month at the end of the month.
If its definitely not possible, how to you ask apple to consider including it - it doesnt seem like a particularly difficult task.
Thankyou
Andrew.

Andrew,
Is there any way of dragging and dropping an iCal event showing in week view across to a date in the left sidebar monthly calendar?
No, but you can use cut/paste. Cut (⌘X) the event, then click on the week where you want to move the event, and Paste (⌘V).
If you have a suggestion for Apple to change that method use: Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback.

If it's not registered with Track My Mac you can still do that - when/if it's turned on it will then show up.

From the Safari menu bar click View > Zoom In or press Command + on the keyboard to increase the size of the page.
If that doesn't help, open System Preferences > Accessibilty > Settings then select Zoom on the left.
You can also increase the resolution on the dislplay. System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled
You can also get help by posting in the Apple Support Communities > Vision forum here.

I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

Probably not. First of all, 48 hours is not enough. 5-7 days is better. Secondly, if you did not turn it off the very instant you retrieved it, it probably did worse damage. Even if it powers on, it's very unlikely it will function 100%.

I have a Belgian Apple ID, but want to use the UK i-tunes store. I get a dialogue box saying "The Apple ID is only valid for purchases in The Belgian iTunes store". Is there any way around this? Thanks, Jackie

When you move to Portugal (very nice, I've just come back from visiting Cascais/Sintra/Sines ) I think you'll just get re-directed to Portuguese iTunes. When I moved to France from the UK I got re-directed to the French store.
To view UK programmes in France I used to subscribe to a VPN server through https://www.my-private-network.co.uk/ (there are others, but very pleased with their service). The catch-up channels (iPlayer, etc) think you're in the UK so you can watch the programmes online. Wouldn't work with iTunes UK store though .

I just got my battery and iphone 4 screen fixed and when it turned off because there weren't any battery left, I tried charging it. Now it won't turn on or charge... what do i do?

I just got my battery and iphone 4 screen fixed and when it turned off because there weren't any battery left, I tried charging it. After charging it for like thirty minutes, I pressed the home & lock button and it turned on for a moment for me to see that it was only at 1%... So basically it wasn't charging for that entire half hour. Then, I tried connecting it to my computer and nothing is popping up... so it won't turn on or charge... what do i do?

Who repaired the phone? I suggest taking it back to this repair facility. Since Apple replaces phones instead of repair, the repair facility would be the one to take care of your problem.

Is there any way to retrieve Data from permanently crashed Palm?

I have a treo 755p that seemed to die on me. I can't get it past the "Access" opening page when I power on. The phone gave me a message about memory shortfall after a phone call and that was it. My service provider -Telus- no longer handles Palm and so they quickly told me that it was toast... but I'm suspicious... They want to get me into a Blackberry.
I have discovered that everthing was backed up except for my Versamail and I had some important emails stored there. Is there some way that this information can be accessed in any way? Is there something I can try to do? The person at the store tried to reset the phone but that apparently did not work.
So... two parts to the the question: Can somebody tell me what steps I can do to save my Treo and if it is dead... is there any way to access the phone's hard drive?

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
I am sorry to hear about the problem you are having. Unfortunately, the device does need to be fully booted to access the memory and sync it. If it is not able to boot, there is no supported way of getting your data off of that unit. A hard reset may resolve the boot issue you are having but the data would be lost. However, you can try a hard reset and answer "No" to erasing your data to see if it will fully boot. I will epxlain this process in further detail.
To hard reset the device you will want to remove the battery. Before placing the battery back in the device, hold down the red (end call) button. While holding down that button reinsert the battery. Continue holding the red button until the loading bar at the bottom completes. You will then be prompted with a message "Erase All Data Yes or No." You will then press DOWN on the 5 way navigator to respond "No" to this prompt. If the device still gets stuck and will not boot then you must answer "Yes" to resolve the issue. NOTE: BY ANSWERING YES WILL ERASE ALL DATA CURRENTLY STORED ON THE DEVICE.
I hope this helps in resolving the issue you are having. Future advice: Hotsync your device to a computer regularly to keep a back up of your data just incase if these problems occur.

I updated to maverick, and maybe it's a coincidence but my left shift key doesn't work unless i really press it down. Is there any way to fix this without bringing it into the Genius Bar?

Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
'''''Address Bar Search'''''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
Does that work?
'''''Search Box'''''
Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
Do either of those work?
There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.
