Hmm. Sorry to hear it's giving you trouble. I really don't know much (well, anything) about Vista except what I read here, and will try to avoid it for as long as humanly possible.
But that doesn't help you. The Hotsync Troubleshooting support article from Palm might be of some help. It might have to do with getting a clean uninstall of the old Palm software from your Vista desktop. There is also a USB Registry Utility which can tidy up FUBAR registry entries, but I believe that is only intended for XP or earlier versions of Windows.
Also, what kind of PC connection does the Hotsync cable have...is it USB, or are you using a Serial-to-USB adapter? That might be another contributing factor to the problem.

Have new computer with new Windows 7, Palm m105, and 4.1.4 palm desktop, trying to get it to synch correctly.

With new computer I have had to add a USB serial converter to the hot synch cradle. I spent most of the day trying to get the new serial converter to be recognized so that a synch could be performed. It now will synch when I put the palm in the cradle. After installing 4.1.4, In order to get everything to work, I took a recent historicalbackup version of my palmOne program file folder in the Program files, and replaced the entire folder with my historical version. When I opened the desktop software, all my data appears to be there, except that many of my previous entries in the Calendar are now three hours earlier than they used to be and some are moved to an adjacent day. My palm still has the correct information, but a custom synch to overwrite the desktop data with the handheld data produces no change, even though it went through a long synching process. I also have an older computer that has a complete backup copy of everything and the palm software in that one is working properly, so what should I do to correct the data in my Calendar on my new laptop?

This question was solved.
View Solution.

It looks like you will need to "clean" uninstall Palm desktop and re-install.
Here are the clean uninstall instructions for XP, see if the palm folders are in the same location. We have not received any info. on windows 7 and how Palm desktop syncs with this version.
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 C:\Program Files\Palm or
Palm One. 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.
For Palm desktop 6.2, look in the following location for the folders and files, my documents, PalmOS desktop. You will find the username folder in this location.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer. Like the above folder, delete the Palm folder. Once this is done, you will need to delete some registry keys
from your PC Operating System registry.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
to not start 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 will show them everything
they need to delete. To retain your current Registry settings, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
On the PC, go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As
box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents or you can change to a location you will remember. In the file name box, type "Regbackup[todaysdate]" i.e. Regbackup07072008. 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 and sync.

Palm III and Vista

I bought a new laptop with Vista and want to be able to install Hot Sync for my Palm III.

Palm III and Vista/Windows 7

I have a Palm III that I still use. Moving to a new computer with Vista (soon Windows 7). Is there a way to sync the Palm III to Outlook 2007 Contacts running on Vista? My understanding is that there is not a Palm Desktop for Vista that will work with the Palm III.

M105 and Win7 - add-on issues

I have been running my old Palm m105 and my old computer with WinXP Hot Syncing as necessary. My old computer finally gave out the same day I had a glitch in my m105. I thought I lost everything. I was able to find old data on my laptop with Win7. So far, I have everything working but I'm not able to get my add-ons working. I've followed directions in the handbook (adding the .prc files to the add-on directory, etc) but it's still not syncing to my m105. Any ideas?

PALM VX and Windows Vista 64Bit

Hey I have been searching all over the site for a solution to my problem and I don't think there is one. I have a Palm VX and I am trying to sync it up with my new Vista Machine. The catch is that my OS is 64-bit I have seen that it says Windows Vista 64 is not compatible, but I have installed Palm Desktop 4.414 and it works fine. But before I order a serial to USB adapter I wanted to know for sure if there is any way around this problem.
Post relates to: Palm Vx

I just recently purchased a new PC with Windows Vista 64-bit. Although I was told and read through postings such as this that synching my Sprint Palm Treo 755p would not be possible. As an IT professional, I was not willing to take no for an answer. I spent the day doing research and am happy to report that as of yesterday I was able to get my Treo to sync up with my Outlook 2007 on the Vista 64-bit OS.
Here is how I did it:
1. I determined that since the Palm Hotsync cable didn't have any drivers to support the 64-bit, I would sync using my Bluetooth dongle.
2. Went to website for dongle (BlueSoleil) and found the Vista 64-bit drivers and downloaded those.
3. Set up the Bluetooth as a network opening Com 5.
4. Set up the Hotsync for network using Com 5
5. Went to Palm website and downloaded the conduits for Outlook 2007
6. Did a Hotsync via Bluetooth with the handheld overwriting Outlook.
7. Downloaded Chapura Pocket Mirror and set the conduits for Outlook.
I am now syncing like the Titanic.

Palm Z22 and sync with Windows Vista 64-bit system

I have been trying to sync my Palm Z22 with a new laptop that is running the 64-bit Vista. Based on some posts I had located, I ordered an IrDA Wireless Bridge to try to resolve the connection problem. Something isn't working right and I can't figure out how to fix the problem. The IrDA adapter is listing in the hardware option on the computer so it appears to have installed correctly. The laptop has inconsistently recognized the USB connection when I plug it in however. I can not seem to get the IrDA adapter to recognize my Z22. I've got the Z22 set up to use the infrared to transfer information. I have noted that the "beam" feature is ON. I have looked at APPS and have observed that most of those options are "locked" and when I have clicked on "contacts" for example, it says it's a locked app and can not be beamed. I don't know if that is part of the problem or unrelated. I also happened to observe that the Apps are listed as what to transfer with MODEM connection but I'm not sure why that is even showing as a connection option since I've never used the modem to connect.
I can successfully use my Z22 to connect via USB cable to my Vista 32-bit computer system. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in my attempts to use the adapter and connecting the Z22 with the new laptop.
I'm not sure what else to do and would very much appreciate some help with this. Could someone PLEASE tell me what I may be doing wrong re: the setup connection between the adapter and Z22 or any other ideas re: what the problem may be concerning why I'm not yet being successful in getting this setup to work...?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance with this problem.
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Sorry for the delay in replying (bet you were hoping this worked, huh?) but it has taken some time to uninstall & reinstall the Palm software and make numerous attempts to configure the information to again try to sync the Z22 with the laptop. I went back to amazon.com and located the device I'd purchased to confirm it would work with the 64-bit Vista. Someone had posted their success in using the adapter for exactly what I need to do - sync my Z22 with a 64-bit Vista computer. That consumer's posting noted: "The USB 1510 provided the solution. As soon as I plugged it into the USB port of the laptop, Vista went online, found the driver, and installed it. I was able to set up IR Hotsync as I would have on any laptop with a built-in IRDA port."
I don't know what problem I'm having but have noted that my palm desktop software doesn't note what device (Z22) is to be connected and I can't find anything in the HotSync manager that allows me to specify that device. For some reason, I had gotten an error message and it referenced a Treo connection which is odd since I don't have a Treo and I downloaded this Palm desktop from the Z22 site online...? I did note my software on my Z22 is a v. 5 but when I checked various support sites online, it appears to indicate that version on my Z22 would be compatible with the Palm 6.2 version I just downloaded to my computer (and I can't find any information to indicate a newer software for my Z22 is available or how to do that either).
So, I'm back to not being able to get my Z22 to be recognized by my computer via the infrared adapter. I'm hoping that some of the added information I've been able to provide may give another clue of something else I can try before I have to give up and contact Amazon to return this device and either try to decide what other device may be an option. I had checked with a local computer supply store here but they don't carry any type of device for this purpose so that's why I resorted to searching online for a solution to this problem.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may still be able to provide. I really do appreciate your time with this matter.

Help re: Palm Zire 31 and Vista

Hi- I can't get my palm and Vista to hotsync. "the connection cannot be established." and " software not found" I've downloaded the 6.2 version and still no luck. I have spent so much time trying to figure this out and I'm getting nowhere!Help!
Post relates to: Zire 31

Same question we ask everyone else who asks this question - which version of Vista? 32bit or 64bit?
64bit Vista can only be synced by a wireless method. See the many sticky threads in the Windows HotSync section.

Palm Pre and backwards Palm app compatibility? 64 bit OS - Vista or XP Pro -- compatibility -- ?

I am brand new to the board, so please bear with me if these questions have already been addressed elsewhere.
The announcement of the Palm Pre might have just retained me as a Palm loyalist. I was starting to look at BlackBerries, etc. for my next phone upgrade. And then along comes the Pre.....which looks to be a Very Good Thing. However, I have a couple of questions:
1. Will the Palm Pre be compatible with the apps that I currently have loaded onto my Palm TX? Will a simple transfer of apps / data from the TX to the Pre be possible?
2. Will I be able to sync the Pre with my Vista 64 bit laptop, or with my XP Pro 64 bit desktop? Or does the Pre still lack 64 bit compatibility? (Man, I hope that it will "do" 64 bit........)
To anyone who knows -- thanks.
Post relates to: Palm TX

Thank you for the responses in both cases, smkranz. It's greatly appreciated.
Yes -- my Palm TX has served me well for a few years. It's still functioning quite nicely. However, I'd hate to have to manually re-enter all of the data that's stored in it into another device. Plus I wouldn't want to give up several of the apps that I have installed on that device.
IMO, in many ways the TX 'anticipated' the Pre -- rotating screen (albeit manually set), and a list of other features. Heh -- but these days, if a device is six months old -- then it's yesterday's news. ;-) The TX is a circa 2005 era device, IIRC. So it's an ancient historical relic in today's world. But I still like it. A lot. Few electronic devices that I've ever had the pleasure of owning have been as useful to me as the TX has. That's why I hated the idea of switching brands......but I didn't see much choice, until now. The Pre looks to be a real shot in the arm for Palm. And for my continuing to use Palm's devices into the future. The BlackBerry Strom was a real disappointment. And I don't like iPhones. But I don't think that the Pre is going to disappoint. If the device lives up to its promise: then I think that we'll have a top-notch winner on our hands. A great replacement for my venerable TX.
Heh -- the first thing that I loved about the TX was the ability to download & read ebooks while traveling. One TX in the pocket is a lot easier to carry around than a suitcase full of hardback novels. The Pre looks to take that 'convenience factor' to a whole 'nother level..........
Now......if only I can get the legacy Palm OS apps to work with it, and it syncs up with my 64 bit PC's: then everything will be right with the world.........
Thanks again for the help.

Palm M105 Communication code issue

I have a Palm M105 that is used with Hub Manager for door security at a shelter. There was an issue and I had to reinstall Hub Manager and the Palm software. Now that everything is reinstalled the Palm is not recognizing the communication code when it is put into the door to make changes. The code was not changed in Hub Manager and the Palm will Hotsynch with the PC. I just can't get it to import and export data from the doors with out this code working. Can any one help?
Post relates to: Palm m105

You may need to hard reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over you will need to rename your backup folder, to do that go here;
XP
C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Vista
Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
tasks, and memos will come back over.
Show file extensions for XP or Vista
XP
If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a
folder go to Tools-->Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
Vista
Open control Panel go to Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
After this procedure, reinstall the program and set it up again. See if this may correct the issue.

My palm m105's touch screen doesn't work properly after a sync.

I dug out my old m105, put new batteries in and start it. On first launch it auto runs the alignment tool, and after touching all the points it goes to the main screen and works fine. No problem till here.
Now, I plug it into my old computer which still has the palm software with my apps, and I run the sync operation (from the palm device sync manager, cause I lost my cradle and I'm connected via the serial cable), and it syncs fine BUT, here comes the problem, when it finishes the sync (successfully) the touch screen is all misaligned. I can't go back to the home screen or do anything useful.
