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.

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: 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.

Palm m100 HotSync with Outlook 2007

I have a Palm m100 which I routinely HotSynced with an old Windows ME computer. That computer died, and I now have a Windows 7 machine with Outlook 2007. What software should I load on my new PC in order to retrieve my Contacts from the Palm m100 and copy the Contacts into Outlook 2007?
Post relates to: Palm m100

Unfortunately what you are asking for is something that we do not support. As a suggestion on how this might be accomplished you would need to install Palm Desktop 6.2. Normally that may be enough. Also we have not done testing on windows 7 to know if Palm Desktop will work on it reliably.
It also might be time for you to upgrade your device to push the chances up of this working correctly. Palm Desktop 6.2 was not designed to work with the m100 while the TX and Tungsten E2 where. Some older device may work due to other customers on this site stating they have it working for them.

Is there a java virtual machine avalible for the Palm m100 ? If it is what versions of the Palm OS is it compatible with?
Thanks

You should be looking into J2ME.
Here is a link to where you can download the CLDC and MIDP implementation for the Palm OS
http://java.sun.com/products/midp4palm/index.html
I tried it on my visor and it works fine :-). A quick answer to your Palm OS version question. it is 3.5.x and above.
All your questions about the virtural machine on the Palm OS can be found through the following link
http://java.sun.com/products/midp4palm/faq.html
Note: Don't expect to be able to use all the APIs that you can find on a normal JVM. This is because the Palm device is usually limited in resources so the VM has to have a smaller (much, much, much smaller) footprint.
The J2ME Wireless Toolkit provide the utilities to create the application to run on the KVM on your PALM. It can also be embeded into Forte so you could use the cool features of this IDE :-)

Have fun :-)

THANKS!!
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 TX help

Hi, I'm new to Palm, I just recently bought a Palm TX. I love it. However I have a problem with it. Everytime I opened up a program for example I opened a music folder and when I want to exit out that window I had to press on the HOME button because I can't find the exit or an X key anywhere to exit out the program. Can you guys help me please.
Post relates to: Palm TX

There is normally no "X" button in PalmOS. You're thinking along the lines of Windows or Windows Mobile OS.
Some programs will have an "Exit" option in their menus, but it's the same as tapping the Home button.
PalmOS is not a true multi-tasking operating system. When you tap Home, it stops the program where you left it, and will clear out the RAM being used by it.
What you're doing is correct.

Palm Smartphone Help

I'm hoping that someone can help me with this problem. My son connected an xbox headset to his Palm smartphone the other day, which didn't work (by the way). However, a slight side effect to this action is that he can no long talk nor hear anyone on his phone. How do I correct this problem?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Palm VIIx HELP

I have a need to retrieve some critical information from my PalmVIIx and it appears that the batterys have died and the unit has reverted to its initial set up mode. Is there any way to recover my date & address book information?
Post relates to: Palm VIIx

Unless you have the information saved on your computer (you have been Hotsyncing regularly as recommended by Palm, correct?) then it is gone. The memory structure of your device is Volatile RAM. It needs electricity to retain the information. When gone, you are left with nothing but zeros...

Possible convert to Blackberry from Palm - please help with outlook questions

I'm debating switching from a Palm Treo 800 (battery life is awful) to Blackberry Curve. I chose the Treo because of active sync with my work exchange server and ability to open Office documents.
Currently, I sync my outlook mail, tasks & calendar with work, and my contacts & notes with my home computer. So if i follow your instructions for using BIS instead of BES (my employer only provides BES service for a carrier which is not mine ...), will I be able to sync manually with a cable to my work computer for calendar & tasks and then to my home computer for contacts & notes?
I have to decide THIS WEEK if I'm going to switch from Palm to Blackberry, so please hurry! The blackberry seems like it's a lot more fun than the Palm, and your support is much more extensive and user-friendly!

Ok, so if both machines are Outlook based, I would not see a problem,
You would need 2 DM programs one at work and one at home.
For work you can specify sync for tasks and calendar, for home sync contacts and notes.
Both calendars would have to be the Outlook calendar as default.
You can the have the synced BB and would have the ability to backup on both machines, or better yet, back up on one machine to eliminate confusion. In case of failure, you have a backup of ALL data.
You wouldn't have to convert anything because Outlook is fully compatible with the Desktop Manager.
I don't see a problem.
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.

Vista, Access, and Palm ZZ--help!!

Hello. I have had my palm for almost 3 years. Just recently I had a blob on my calendar. To fix that I had to download Access, since I have Windows Vista. It is working fine now, but how do I put photos on my palm? I used Splash Photo before, but now have media on Access. I have the photos on the Palm Desktop, but when I try to move them to install it says it is not supported. Is the install tool not compatible with Vista? It was my understanding that that is what Access is for. Please help me!!
Post relates to: Palm Z22
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You need to install the spash photo on the PC so the conduits in the Hotsync manager and be updated to sync photos. You will need your Z22 CD.
Put the CD in. It should try to install if it does just cancel it if not don't worry less for you to do.
Next you want to go into your computer. From there right click on the CD ROM drive and either click open or explore.
Then select English.
Then Photos.
Then double click on splashphoto.exe.
then you should be able to sync your photos.

Windows 7 and Palm Centro help needed please

Can someone recommend an inexpensive blue tooth external adapter that is compatible with Windows 7, 64 bit so that I can sync my Palm Centro?
Thank you.

I have the same problem. Had an XP computer. Now have a Windows 7. Installed the software from CD but I'm sure there must be a driver for Win7. I have a 64-bit computer. Cradle won't sync.
The CD that came with these handhelds does not have a 64-bit driver. Neither does Palm Desktop 6.2.2. But the company that took over PalmOS did make one.
Read this thread for information on installing the Palm Desktop 64-bit drivers.
Note: these are 3rd party drivers and not supported by HP.

New PC Old Palm need help

I just got a new laptop with vista and I have a palm m500 hand held. from what i can see the software for the m500 is not compatible with Vista. Is there any advise for this not so computer savy girl?
thanks
Post relates to: Palm m500

You can try the Palm DT 4.1.4e, this may work, but you could have problems with it in Vista. It just depends on your hardware and configuration of Vista. Officially the last version of the Palm DT that is compatible with the M500 is 4.1.4, and this is not compatible with Vista. If this works it will only sync the PIM (contacts, datebook, etc) data.
