cheers in advance

The simplest way is to use Handbrake on the Mac to rip and encode it. On the Palm, I'd suggest TCPMP as the video player. Just be aware that doing so with copy-protected DVDs is technically illegal in the US.

Palm Lifedrive and iPaq H5550 transfer of data

I have finally managed to get my Palm Lifedrive to synch with my Windows 7 (64 bit) desktop using the Aceeca.com patches to the drivers. But I figure that my Lifedrive is really too obsolete now and I need to upgrade as some day it might just die on me. I don't want a smart phone so was contemplating buying an HP iPaq H5550 as a PDA.
Does anybody know if it is possible to export my Contacts and Memos lists from Palm Desktop on my computer across to an iPaq H5550. I have hundreds of memos and contacts and cannot face inputting them in manually again.
Any advice would be welcome.
many thanks

Since the iPaq is a WinMob device, switch your sync conduit to Outlook (if you have the program on your computer).
Start Button/All Programs/PIM Conduit Sync/Sync with Outlook.
WinMob devices use Outlook as their PIM manager.

ISync Failure working with Missing Sync and Palm Lifedrive

Since the begining of March I have failed to peform a sync between my Palm and G4 Powerbook via Missing Sync v5.2.1
What happens is that a Sync is launched from my Palm cradle which is picked up by my G4, the dialogie suggests that things are being synchronised, but at the end on viewing my Sync History, I get errors reporting that databases on my palm can't be opened. Missing Syncs own conduits for iCal and AB report that they have been 'unregistered'.
Last night I attempted a sync with just 1 conduit active at a time and all failed.
I bought BackUpBuddy, but this two has failed to sync.
Markspace have suggested that I 'reset sync histories' which I have attempted to do. For this I need to open iSync first, however iSync quits during launch.
Anybody got any ideas on how to resolve this? TIA

Now that the response is reposted above, this thread makes more sense…
The (0x400a) errors generally, coupled with an inability to open files on your handheld, suggests that you have insufficient memory on board to perform these tasks. There are several other issues involved, however, so you should address each one by simplifying your configuration to avoid the most obvious ones.
For the time being, turn off the following conduits which do not report errors:
• Install
• Life Balance
• Mark/Space Conduit for iTunes
• Mark/Space Conduit for iTunes
• ChronosNotes
• BackupBuddy
Do that simply by un-checking them in the main window of the Missing Sync for Palm OS. You might want to attempt once again to synchronize, just to determine if anything has changed as a result of turning off these working conduits.
Also, turn off the following failing conduits:
• Mark/Space Folder Sync
• Voice Memo
• Documents To Go*
• Media
• Trip
Some may be incompatible with your your LifeDrive, or not properly configured for use with it. See the article below, for example, with regard to the Mark/Space Folder Sync conduit with it:
http://www.markspace.com/support/kb.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=2553
To avoid some obvious problems with your LifeDrive and the conduits presently installed, you should install the LifeDrive Update 2.0 is you have not already done so. *Among other things, it contains a Documents to Go update:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/lifedrive/lifedrive_update.html
You must follow the instructions provided by Palm carefully, as the procedure removes all of the data from your device. Insure that your data is backed up elsewhere before performing this update.
Before attempting to update your LifeDrive, follow these instructions to determine if you need to:
Find out if your LifeDrive device includes the latest LifeDrive Update software
• on your LifeDrive, press <Home> twice, until the Applications Launcher—not Favorites—appears
• tap <Menu>
• from the <App> menu, select <Info>
• at the bottom of the screen, select <Version>
Look for the application named WiFiLib [HINT: scroll down below the <Wi-Fi> items to <WiFi> with no hyphen.]
If the version number is…
• 1.0.6, 1.0.5 or below: you don't have the latest LifeDrive update. Install it
• 1.0.7: you already have the latest LifeDrive Update. Do not install it again.
Had you not needed to install this update and perform the resulting reset, I would have recommended that you perform a soft reset to see if that procedure resolves any of your issues.

Sync PALM Lifedrive with Mac OS X.4.8

Under Isync i can't add my palm lifedrive. Ihave install palm desktop (last version). I want to synchronize with bluetooth. Under bluetooth finder menu my palm is recognize but without service recognize.
Please help me!
I'am a new switcher.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It's not clear how you attempted to configure your MacBook to support LifeDrive synchronization, but there are several important steps to follow.
You should install the version of the Palm Desktop which came bundled on a CD-ROM with your Palm device. Other versions do not necessarily contain the appropriate resources or offer full support for the LifeDrive.
You must create a Bluetooth pairing between for device and your MacBook, initiating it from the LifeDrive and confirming it from the Macintosh.
You add a LifeDrive—or any other supported Palm device—to iSync using the option labeled Enable Palm OS Syncing… under the Devices menu in iSync, and not with the Add Device… option.
Your initial synchronization will allow you to merge data between your LifeDrive and your MacBook, or overwrite the data on your Palm device. If you can do so, you should choose to overwrite it.

Working with a LifeDrive and a Visor Prism

What palm desktop software, or third party, will work and hotsync with both the LifeDrive and a Visor Prism? I have and will be using both. I currently have 6.2 installed and of course it will not recognize the visor prism. I've tried to research the web but so far I'm not having much luck. Thanks.
Post relates to: LifeDrive

Thank you for this. It appears to have magically resolved itself somehow....now entirely sure how, as I did absolutely nothing! However, I've saved your suggestions so that if it happens again, I can check. I have a couple of other weird issues with it and am just praying it isn't a reinstall job. I probably need to start a new thread but just in case you know the answers:
1) The C7280 happily prints documents but if I try to get it to print a jpeg - nothing happens or rather...
a) jpeg opens in windows photo gallery
b) press print
c) ensuring right printer is selected as opposed to 7280 fax
It then sits on a message 'Please wait while the printer sends information to Windows" which takes a seriously long time - 10 mins or in some cases just doesn't happen. Jpegs are approx 2mb in size.
2) Don't suppose you'd know a handy short cut way of scanning in (using the feeder) several different documents at a time (as opposed to different pages of the same document) in a way that doesn't mean you have to practically come out of the software each time ? At the moment, this is what happens:
a) select SCAN DOCUMENT
b) select file format ie PDF
c) If document loaded on feeder, printer takes however many pages and scans into one document.
d) On pressing Finish, question comes up asking whether you'd like to add another page to the document. If you press Yes - it simply adds it the exisiting document being scanned and if you press No, it saves the existing document but exits that scanning page taking you right back to the home page which then remains greyed out for a while until, the previous document has been saved. Far too time consuming - when all you want to do is scan in all the different documents and do one big save at the end?
Would be hugely grateful if you're able to unravel the C7280 mysteries!
Thank you, Lucy

Lifedrive and Windows 7/64 bit

I have a lifedrive and try to synchronize under Windows 7/64 bit with bluetooth.
Do I have a chance with Palm Desktop 4.14 or 6.2?
I remember, for the liefedrive, it is necessary to install another software, to get it compatible. But I did not find the name of this software.
Thank you for any help!
Horst
Post relates to: LifeDrive

Hello Horst,
The LifeDrive's Drive Mode desktop management software does not work with Windows 7. You should be able to synchronize the LifeDrive with your PC over Bluetooth. My guess is that Palm Desktop 6.2.2 is the better way to go over 4.x.
You will want to take a look at this thread for more details on the HotSync options for Windows 7.

Transfer data from Palm LifeDrive to Palm Treo Pro (Unlocked)

Hi, as it says in the title, i want to transfer data from Palm LifeDrive to Palm Treo Pro, how can i do that? do i need a special software?
Thank you in advance.
Ivan Rodriguez.
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850U (Unlocked)

You can do this 2 different ways. You can set your Palm Desktop software to sync to Outlook, and then sync your LifeDrive to outlook. You would then be able to just sync the Outlook data to you Treo Pro. The other option would be to purchase Chapura Pocket Copy software, and this will copy the data in the Palm DT application to Outlook. Once again you would just sync your Treo Pro to Outlook. You can get the Pocket Copy application from Chapura.com

Lifedrive and Vista

I haven't been able to synch my Lifedrive since I got Vista. I get a "PalmOne Remote Library failed to initialize" message. I've looked around the Palm website but haven't found any helpful info. Would appreciate any assistance from the electronics gurus out there. I am a zero on the guru scale.
Post relates to: LifeDrive

Palm desktop 6.2 was designed for Vista but has reported data loss. If Palm desktop is left open when the system does an update or is shut down, it can lose data. Palm desktop 4.1.4e should work on Vista and will not see the data loss.
What version Vista are you running? On the PC, right click on my computer or the computer icon in Vista. Go to properties and look on the screen for the version, is it 32 or 64 bit?
What version Outlook are you using? If you are using Outlook 2007 you need the conduit update.
Here is the link to the page for the conduits download;
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/8716_en.html
You may need to "clean" uninstall Palm desktop and re-install.
Here are the clean uninstall instructions for Vista.
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 Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. 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.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*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.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
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 yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. 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.

Can LifeDrive and T/X use the same desktop?

I am currently using a Lifedrive with a Windows XP desktop (version 4.1.4 and HotSync Manager 6.01). I was given a T/X with a dead digitizer. I replaced the digitizer and now the basic T/X works great.
My problem is I can not get the T/X to HotSync with my current desktop. Should I be able to HotSync my T/X with my current 4.1.4 desktop? If so, would I have to run the 4.1.4 installer a second time to get it to add the T/X to the desktop?
If I understand what I have read, I can not upgrade to the latest desktop, 6.2, because it does not support the Lifedrive.
Thanks
Post relates to: LifeDrive

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
Yes, you should be able to sync both the LifeDrive and TX to the same desktop. But you must give them separate and distinct Hotsync IDs...they cannot sync to the same Hotsync name because they require different system files which won't play nicely with each other.
Exactly what happens when you connect the TX and try to sync? If you Hard Reset the TX, then connect and Hotsync, the software should recognize that the TX is a blank slate and let you create a new Hotsync ID for it.

Hard drive and dvd drive - simultaneous failure

Hi
I'm running a 2yr 8 month old PowerPC. G4 1.67ghz with 2gb RAM. Until today, it's been pretty much faultless. I have had issues in the past related to installing updates from Mac. ie. on two separate occasions I took updates only to find that the machine wouldn't re-boot. Issues were resolved using install disks, disk warrior and/or repeated booting.
Anyway - today:
I installed the update (Security Update 2008-003 (power PC)). Restarted and all was fine. Sometime later, after considerable use, the machine went to sleep. When I tried to wake it it wouldn't do anything. Eventually a blank grey screen came up with the file icon which alternately flashed a question mark and the finder icon.
I looked on these boards for suggestions. The best one seemed to be boot from the install disks. Unfortunately there is already an audio disk in the drive. I looked for suggestions to eject but none worked. Eventually, I plugged in my bootable clone of my harddrive. The machine took matters into its own hands and booted from it.
Once up and running I ran disk utility to check the status of the internal drive. It doesn't come up in the display. Nor does it show on the desktop or the in the finder. Which suggests to me that it's died.
I then looked to see if I could eject the cd from the DVD drive. i found no icon for the cd on the desktop or in the finder. I checked the "about this mac page" and it tells me "No burning device was found." This in turn suggests that the DVD burner has failed along with the hard drive.
My immediate thought would be that both parts have just reached the end of their time and given up the ghost. I'm a bit surprised/suspicious though that they seem to have done so in the same moment. And on the day that I downloaded a Security Update.
Has anyone had a similar problem, if so what did you do? Can anyone suggest anything I may not have thought of to find my missing HD and DVD burner? Would I be best off going to the Mac store in London? Ultimately, is replacing them myself a realistic proposition?
Help appreciated.
Ewan

Thanks Arnie
Have been thinking along those lines. Especially as, when I boot the machine from the external drive, I can hear the DVD drive whirring. So it's clearly not completely dead.

The difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers

Does anyone know what is the difference between chapter markers and dvd studio pro markers? I can not find anywhere on Google. Also in the tutorials I have seen, suggesting DVD Studio Pro markers, but it did not mention the chapter markers.
Thanks,

"Adding Chapter and Compression Markers to Your Sequence
Once you have your edited sequence or program finished, you can add markers to the sequence for use on DVD. Markers are reference points you can place within clips or sequences that identify specific frames. There are two kinds of markers you can add that directly relate to authoring a DVD—chapter markers and compression markers.
• Chapter markers allow DVD authoring applications to create a navigable chapter list for your exported QuickTime movie. Chapter markers force MPEG keyframes (known as I-frames) at their location, since the DVD specification requires an I-frame at each chapter point.
• Compression markers identify areas of abrupt change and include two types: those that are automatically inserted by Final Cut Pro at all edit points, and those you manually place in the clip or sequence. Like chapter markers, compression markers force I-frames at their location, although in this case it is for better quality encoding, and they are not used to create a chapter list.
Note: When you export a QuickTime movie, you have an option to export various kinds of markers, including compression, chapter, or DVD Studio Pro markers. *When you choose to export DVD Studio Pro markers, Final Cut Pro actually exports chapter markers and all compression markers.* This includes compression markers you set manually, as well as ones created automatically by Final Cut Pro at edit and transition points."
From the Final Cut Pro User Manual.

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message "The registry settings used by the I tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software Please reinstall

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message:
"The registry settings used by the I Tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.
This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install I Tunes."
To my knowledge no new software has been installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing I Tunes but I still

Can anyone offer any suggestions? Do I need to download a new driver?

I can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.

IDVD and DVD Studio Pro hang and crash since 10.5.6 update

Seems like there are a lot of problems since this 10.5.6 update... I came here b/c of a prob with iDVD and DVD Studio Pro not working anymore. Was just trying to "Share/Export" an iMovie project to iDVD (and then tried again with DVD Studio Pro) and the program just hung and crashed and also wouldn't let me Restart or Shutdown very easily either. What gives?

Can i install Final cut studio 5 and DVD Studio Pro 4 on OSX lion

Is any body who can help me on giving me some direction on how to install Final Cut Studio 5.1 and DVD Studio Pro 4 on my OSX Lion, if it's doable. Thanks

The easiest way is to install Rosetta from a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD first.
There's also a way of doing it via Terminal that's been posted here a couple of times. A search should bring that up.
Edit: Found it... https://discussions.apple.com/message/21416133#21416133 read the second post.
