Palm m125 stylus won't work after hot sync

Yesterday I dropped my m125 and the batteries fell out. I didn't notice right away and the system did a hard reset.
When I put the m125 in the cradle and did a hot sync, it updated everything and then I got a message I needed to reset the palm. When I clicked on the reset button, I went directly to a screen that says Preferences on the LHS and Date and Time on the RHS. My stylus no longer works properly at this point. When I touch the home icon, it does not register. If I try to navigate anywhere using the stylus, it registers that I am touching somewhere else on the screen. There is no way I can get to the home screen so I can go through the welcome and calibrate the stylus.
I uninstalled the palm desktop software, restarted the machine and reinstalled the software. Same exact problem. I installed the DigiFix free software, hot synced to add the program and ... same exact problem.
IF I take the batteries out for a hard reset, then the palm is working exactly correctly.
But I can't get any of my information back unless I hot sync, which renders the palm useless again.
IF I could download the keyboard software, I could hypothetically manually add all the lost info a little bit faster than using the touch screen. But I can't find the software and I will be vulnerable to losing everything again if I can't hot sync the stuff back onto my computer.
One other thing I don't know if it is relevant, even after I uninstalled, restarted and reinstalled the palm desktop software, all of my original data was still available. Shouldn't it be gone if I had removed the entire program? Does it matter?
Post relates to: Palm m125

After the hard reset; are you able to align your screen? If I am following you correctly you are saying this is the case, and only after the sync the digitizer will no longer align.
If this is the case you may have corrupted data in you Palm Desktop. First I would rename the backup folder under your original user name and sync again to see if this will resolve the issue. If not then you can create a new user name in your Palm DT, then hard reset the device again, then choose to sync to the new user name you created instead of the original user name. Then you could export your original data to a (original user name) file, and then import the data under the new user name to restore your data.
When you delete the Plam DT application it does not remove the data file. When you
re-install the Palm DT software it will re-associate to the original data. This is why the data came back.

    External keypad won't work after installing OS 7. I have a "Zagg" keyboard that won't pair now to OS 7,...Why?

    They do work. I have one and mine is working. Have you tried to reset your iPad? HOlding down teh sleep and home keys until it reboots then try pairing again.
    A slightly more drastic thing is to go into the settings and reset all settings. THe downside, you will need to retweak your device but it can help fix keyboard glitches.

    Assuming you've first checked Software Update to see if there are any updated drivers and it's still not working, you could try resetting the printing system.
    System Preferences>Print & Scan, Control+Click or Right Click on a printer on the left and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again.

  • Mission Control won't work after sleeping.  Upon Start up it's fine, but after sleeping it won't work by track pad or keyboard.

    Since updating, Mission Control won't work after sleeping.  Upon Start up it's fine, but after sleeping it won't work by trackpad or keyboard. I'm sure I use Mission Control more than most, so it's really irritating for me.

    No, the versions of iPhoto on the iPad and on OS X are totally different.
    What Apple ID are you using for the Mac App Store? Who else has access to that Apple ID, or what possible other Apple IDs could be in use? It's possible you'll need to purchase iPhoto to get the upgrade, though I'd think Software Update should offer you the correct version.

  • Apache won't work after 10.5.2 update

    Apache won't work, after I installed the 10.5.2 update.
    When I type the following in the terminal: sudo apachectl -t
    I get a error:
    /usr/sbin/apachectl: line 81: 711 Segmentation fault $HTTPD $ARGV
    Does anyone know how I can solve this?
    thank you!

    I too had the same problem after the auto update 10.5.2 - specifically the 2008-002 update broke my machine in a number of areas.
    I downloaded the package and ran it, this seems to have mopped up the problems caused my the first run.
    The update is located at:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/security_updates/
    Look for 2008-002 (Leopard) it's about 50MB.
    Hope this works for you too.

  • ICloud email won't work after upgrade

    iCloud email won't work after upgrade to Mountain Lion.  Says pop 3 server is timing out. Solutions?

    I'm sorry, as I keep saying... in MAIL I get the message that it cannot cannot to server!? Did you read the initial problem at all! I know exactly where mail is, although, the diagram was wonderful.
    My problem is TWO FOLD.
    The MAIL app doesn't work with iCloud but does work with my POP3 email for my office.
    Second problem is the iCloud on Safari doesn't work as I get the error message as the screenshot above.
    There is NO reason why the @me.com email shouldn't work through the iCloud site, as you can see, there is a also a Mail icon.

  • HT204350 scanner won't work after upgrade

    scanner won't work after upgrade

    Hey srohall,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your scanner after updating to OS X Mavericks. To troubleshoot this issue, we’ll want to follow the same troubleshooting steps for printers:
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    1. Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    2. Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    3. Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    4. Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    5. Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    1. Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    2. If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    3. Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • My iphone won't work after fatal error occurred installing iOS5.1 have followed allsteps to reconfigure software onto windows still no phone just a usb and itunes picture on screen

    my iphone won't work after fatal error occurred installing iOS5.1 have followed allsteps to reconfigure software onto windows still no phone just a usb and itunes picture on screen

    Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
    Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Disable your firewall
    Disable your antivirus
    In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
    If it doesn't recognize the phone:
    Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
    While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
    As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
    If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

  • Firmware update won't work after you've tried the Narf/Blanka method?

    Many ppl have reported that their Firmware update won't work after they've tried the Narf/Blanka method for Dualbooting Windows. [For some reason, it doesn't).
    Formatting the startup, reinstall etc WILL work ... because of what our friend says here : http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2076211#2076211
    Fortunately, it isn't necessary To Reformat etc... (at least for the firmware update) Apparently, as long you boot from a different Disk to the one you've 'messed with' - such as , say, an external FW Drive, the Firmware updater works.
    Had the same problems, same reasons on a 20". Booting from external FW Drive made it happen for me.
    May someone be helped by this e-missive....

    Sorry: the above is (partly) wrong ... - it'll get you past the firmware update but won't get you past the Boot Camp Assistant ... - it wants to see a single partition No matter what ...
    [Just for that, I'm gonna see if I can mess with the 'can't do this on an external drive' requirement ... by moving an external to internal then back out again grin)
    best of luck...

  • My airport won't work after sleep

    I have a powerbook G4. I have used it flawlessly for years between two locations, closing it up to sleep and opening up at the new location. It would find the airport base stations and connect perfectly. Now when I open it up, airport does not automatically connect and in fact does not show any of my neighbors' wifi hot spots. I use the airport utility and it finds nothing. Turning my airport on and off won't work either. In order for airport to work, I must reboot each time.
    Any suggestions?
    Powerbook g4 1GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    If after installing Security Update 2007-004 on OS10.3.9 and after waking from Sleep you experience a kernel panic notification (black pane) to reboot with the power button ......... do the following:
    Reboot .... then apply /App/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions .... shut down .... Reboot while holding down Command-Option-P-R keys together until the computer chimes three(3) individual times ... release keys to complete reboot .... Repair Permissions again ... click the soft Restart .... Sleep the computer then wake it up .... the kernel panic pane should be gone.
    P.S. If after the above you still have Airport issues (you probably have the Airport "b" card), go to /System/Library/Extensions and delete to Trash all BUT the latest Airport Extension (check by DATE, not the version number). To permanently remove the AP2.kext, you must use Admin. password.

  • IPod touch 3G won't work after falling in water? Help!

    Ok it's been 3 months since my iPod touch fell in the...toilet. I immediately put it in rice after pushing all the buttons. It was only in the water for a second. When I picked it up the screen was dim, flickering, then when black. I wiped it off and put it in rice. I left it in rice for about four days. I finally plugged it up to the charger and after 20 minutes it came on. It told me I needed to plug it up to iTunes so I did. I restored it and when it was restored I tried to slide the bar at the bottom of the screen but it would never register. So I let it die and when I charged it again it wanted me to restore it AGAIN! I've restored it about five times!! Each time the touch screen won't work and it doesn't hold a charge very well. Also every time it does it wants me to restore it. What's wrong with it and how can I fix it? Oh and the home button doesn't work.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • ITunes won't work after updating to iOS 8.3

    After updating to iOS 8.3 my iTunes App on my iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Air now both don't work.
    If I go to play an sample of a song, the little square box with the cover on spins around and then spins back around and no music will play.  I'm all so unable to play any music that I've already purchased via iTunes on my iOS devices.
    Any comments on what could be causing this?
    All so, on another note.  My friend has just updated to IOS 8.3 and he just noticed that he no longer even has the iTunes App on his iPhone 5.
    Thanks.

    After posting this, I've since found out that my iOS iTunes App on my iPhone 6 Plus works all OK when on WiFi, it just won't work when on the data/3/4G connection.
    Anybody else having this same issue since updating to iOS 8.3?
