Palm M100 help please...!

K guys I jsut got a palm100 came with cradle and a serial to USB.
- I plug my usb in and computers says download drivers... some Im assuming it recognizes the serial-to-USB.
- Im running Vista 32 bit
- I have the newest Palm Desktop with the program you need to hotsync old palms with it.
I cant get it to sync any help would be nice.
under local all I can choose is Direct Serial and IR. no option for USB not sure if that matters.
I have the Palm Coonnect USB kit ... doesn't say compatible with Vista on the box.. since its an old serial to USB does that matter? When I plug it in my computer it beeps so it is recognizing something.
Thank you for the help.

The newest Palm Desktop (6.2.2) will work with your older device, but not by itself.  You also have to download and install the free utility called PalmHotsyncSetup from www.pimlicosoftware.com.

  • Palm m100 help

    Dear Sirs,
    I have one old Palm m100 and I had to reset due to problems and I also had problems with my computer.
    I used Win98 with the previous Palm installation and now I'm using with Xp version
    I copied the Palm directory and I'm trying to recover my data using the backup (Palm directory)
    I've got to recover address and memos, but I could not recover datebook.
    I found the datebook.dat file and copied to the new installation directory (C:\Palm\user\datebook) replacing the new datebook.dat file.
    But it does not work! Does anyone has any idea how to solve it? There are some important data that I would like to recover.
    I've tried to run the old Palm Desktop version but it does not run on Xp.
    Thank you
    Andre

    See if you can find the datebook.bak from the old PC. Rename it to datebook.dat and replace the ones in the user folder. See if that displays.

    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    You are asking a LOT of Basic Questions that can be answered by reading the User Guide that is included with every Palm on the installation disk.
    It can also be read by going to Palm.com and the suport page for your device.
    You add programs with Palm Desktop and the Hotsync application.
    Ad-hoc refers to Wifi.  Not possible.
    Wifi: not possible.

  • Palm M100: Urgent Problem - HELP!!

    Hi,
    I have a problem in both opening my Palm M100 on the desktop and in using the HotSync operation..
    1. When I try to open on the Desktop a Box opens with the message "Error: Failed to Address Book Database". When I click the 'OK' button a new Box opens with the message "Error:Invalid configuration. Terminating the Palm Desktop".
    2. When I try a HotSync from the device to the PC (Windows XP Prof) it connects BUT the following Box pops up headed "HotSyn Problem". The message in the Box reads: "Synchronization generated one or messages. Please see the HotSync Log for details". When I click on the "Log" Button I am given a message that reads as follows:
    OK Date Book
    -- Address Book
       - Some handheld records were not copied to your PC. Your computer may be full or you may have reached the maximum allowed records on the desktop. To correct this situation, delete some records and perform a HotSync operation again.
         Desktop = 0, Handheld = 654
    Address Book synchronization failed
    OK To Do List
    OK Memo Pad
    OK Note Pad
    I don't believe I have reached the maximum number records of memory but have deleted some records. However I still have the same problem. I am low on battery so face the prospect of loosing all my valuable contact & diary data unless I can solve this issue SOON!
    Thanks in anticipation.

  • Gray screen when turning on iBook G4 with tiny file folder in center of screen blinking the finder icon and a question mark.  Have tried several things.  Any help please??

    Gray screen when turning on iBook G4 with tiny file folder in center of screen blinking finder icon and question mark.  I cannot figure this out.  Tried everything I know.  Can someone help please???

    Hello,
    Ideally you need to boot from the disk as you have no other media advisable. (e.g your hard drive)
    Without some form of system disk or restore you wont be able to diagnose the problem with your hard drive.
    By using a Mac OS X system disk you can load up the Disk Utilities and repair the hard drive if shown it's available. If it's not available you would need to replace the hard drive and reinstall Mac OS. Without any disk to support you, you are going to struggle.
    You can obtain replacement disk, both retail copies or system disk on the Internet.
    If you know what version of Mac OS X you had install (I'm guessing that it would have been 10.3, but would recommend 10.4) A retail disk is normally black with a colored 'X' on it, while system disk are always.
    Always try and obtain a copy of the system restore disks (Gray) for your iBook
    Ebay is another outlet that has genuine system disk for sell, but like any auction site, it's as and when someone is selling them.
    The only other thing you could do is take it to a Apple repair agent who could check the hard drive on your behalf. That way you can get confirmation if the problem is the drive or some other fault. They may even help restore the OS for you.
    I can't think of anything else to try without some form of disk to help you.
    There maybe just one other small thing you could try.
    When booting up, firmly rest your palm of your hand on the iBook next to the tracker pad on the left side.
    If it works then it's another fault that I'm aware of.

  • Palm M100 with Vista?

    Please can anyone provide information on syncing my beloved M100 Palm to a Vista machine? This was not my choice, the XP machine died.
    thanks

    So long as your pc is running 32-bit Vista, you can use your m100 with it by downloading and installing the new (and free) PalmHotsyncSetup utility from www.pimlicosoftware.com along with the Palm Desktop 6.2.2 which is available for download here. 
    If your computer is running 64-bit Vista you are probably out of luck.

    I keep being asked to update my Safari but when I do a Software update it scans but never gives me a list and just says no new updates. Help please!

    There are no updates to either OS 10.5.8 or Safari 5.0.6.
    If you need a later version of Safari you must first upgrade your operating system to a later version of OS X.

  • I have just updated my PC with version11.14. I can no longer connect to my Bose 30 soundtouch via media player Can anyone help please

    I have a Bose soundtouch system .Until today I could play my iTunes music through it via air  player . .I have just uploaded the latest upgrade from iTunes and now I am unable to connect to the Bose system . Can anyone help please? I can connect via my iPad and by using the Bose app so it is not the Bose at fault

    @puebloryan, I realize this thread is a bit old, but I have encountered a similr problem and wondered if you had found a solution. I've been using home sharing from itines on my PCs for years, but two days ago, it suddenly stopped. I can share from my Macs, but not from the ONE PC library where I keep all my tunes. I tried all the usual trouble-shooting measures.
    After turning home sharing off on the PC's iTunes, turning it back on and turning some other settings off and on, my Macs and Apple TV could briefly "see" the PC library, but as soon as I try to connect -- the wheel spins for a bit and then the connection vanishes. It's as if they try and then give up.
    Since this sounds so similar to your problem, I was hoping you finally found a solution. I am also starting a new thread. Thanks!

  • Photoshop Elements 6 on Mac help please !!!!!

    Hi there,
              I need help please !!!!!
    I have PSE 6 for my imac and bought myself a NIKON D60 so far so good. I have installed PSE 6 which comes with ADOBE Bridge CS3
    I have bought a book as well as I am new to photoshop and in fact DSLR cameras.
    I have got my photos into Bridge OK by the way they are JPEG format. According to the book I can open the JPEG in camera RAW by either selecting the JPEG and then pressing cmd+R or by selecting the JPEG and select open with and camera RAW should be available to selct.
    I cannot get of the options to work any ideas please
    Secondly I have taken some photos in RAW format and put then into Bridge again I cannot get the camera RAW interface to open with these neff images.
    If I try to open the image PSE 6 opens and gives me an error that the file format is not supported by PSE 6
    Am I missing something here as I have been trying for a week now !!!!!
    Sorry if this comes across a stupid question but it is new to me
    Chris      UK

    There's no "theory" about it. You should be able to open a raw file from bridge by double-clicking it, but it will open in ACR in PSE. You can't just use ACR within bridge in PSE, if that's what you're trying to do. To open a JPEG in ACR, go to file>Open in PSE and choose Camera raw as the format after you select the file but before you click Open.
    If you've correctly updated ACR, bridge should show you thumbnails of your raw files. If it doesn't try emptying the Bridge cache.

  • Photoshop CS2. Help please.

    Approx 8 years ago I purchased Photoshop CS2 online from Adobe. This past weekend I had to buy a new computer (Windows 8.1), and when I logged into my Adobe account just now to obtain my serial number and enter it after I attempted to download CS2, it said invalid serial number. Help please.
    Both tech support and the online chat person were not able to help me.

    The Activation Servers for CS2 and prior have been taken down. See the link below for an explanation and solution. Be sure to follow all directions, including using the new download serial number supplied on the page.

  • Creative live cam voice help please

    Help please,
    We are using the "live cam voice" model, with our computer (Vista 32bit), that appears to work OK, but after a few minutes we get the BSOD! We have tried un installing and re-installing drivers without any effect.Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you fix it.
    Regards,
    Arthur

    Thanks for your response. I have tried 3 ports so far, all with the same outcome. One of my sons had it happen to him on another computer (XP SP2) using this webcam . As to programmes open at the same time, I am not computer literate and have no idea what programmes were running on each occasion.We use the webcam for Skype and apart from that I may also have IE open and perhaps Outlook Express. Over and above those CS4 sometimes.
    If I cannot resolve this, can any one suggest another webcam please.
    Regards,
    Arthur
