I have the same problem; running XP home, had to reset Palm M130 and now Hot Sync won't work with this error message being thrown. Worked fine 2/01/10. Only PC change was removing McAffee and installing Norton in its place. I have COM1 and COM3 on my PC, have tried changing settings to Local COM1/Modem COM1, Local COM3/Modem COM3, and Local COM1/Modem COM3 with USB checked off, with no results. Unplugged Palm, rebooted, checked terminals, moved to different USB port as well. Downloaded latest version of Palm Desktop and Hot Sync software today... I had this problem once before for over a year, then one day *presto* I hit the Hot Sync out of habit and it performed! FYI, PC runs on cable internet through Comcast.

Appreciate any help to get this working.

I have a 2TB Timecapsule and really only use it for Time Machine backups. But the Wi-Fi side is used to sync my iPad at times.
Mine is wiredup thus;
Eth cable from iMac to modem (not the WAN port should you have one), then eth cable from modem to T/Cap in the WAN port (bottom port with an O sign above it)
I believe when its connected up you may have to set up a wireless network. Follow the instructions to set up Wi-Fi and Network
and then give it a password. The WiFi icon should appear in the menu bar where you can switch it on or off.
Its been sometime since I set it with the help of Apple Techs so I might be a bit rusty.

Tungsten 5 can't sync, port is used by another application message

When I try to Hot Sync, an error message say Hot Sync can't happen, because the port is in use by another application. Before this, I had to reset the Palm and now there is no data on it. Help! Lauraflavin

I'm assuming you're using a Serial port connection for your Palm, correct?
Check your computer for anything that might be using COM1 - Fax software, modem software, even XP Media Center has an option to monitor the phone line to announce Caller ID.
If you find something else using that port shut it down.

Finder message: serial port in use by another application

After giving a print command, I had a power outage with my application open. The computer tells me I
cannot print my document because the serial port is in use by another application. I have opened and closed each application to no avail. The printer has nothing in the cache. I suspect the power outage
left me in limbo with the original command, but I don't know how to get out of it to print the document.
Just so you know, I am not a computer wiz kid. I don't understand how or why anything works. I can,
however follow instructions. Can anyone one help?

Have you tried a Shut Down & Restart? This will close all applications.
Haven't booted into OS 9 for a long time, but try moving Appletalk to remote under Control Panels.

How to find Port numbers used by RMI application

Hi, hope u all find me a solution, how to find port numbers used in the RMI application, that is port number which the RMI application communicates between RMIserver and RMIclient. ur answers would b highly appreciated

Currently RMI transport layer does not directly expose any public methods to get the listening ports of the exported RMI objects, but the application can always export RMI server objects at certain designated ports instead of relying on the RMI runtime by specifying them to UnicastRemoteObjcect at the time of exporting.
RMI transport layer try to optimize the number of listeing sockets by exporting all RMI server objects on a single port if no explicit ports were chosen. If the application is really interested in knowing the listeing ports, it can always specify the client and server socket factories to be used for creating Socket and ServerSocket to the RMI runtime at the time of exporting. When a RMI server object is exported, but the listening socket is not yet created, RMI transport layer invokes the createServerSocket(host, port) of server socket factory by passing the host and port details. If no explicit port is specified, underlying socket implementation choses anonymous port. At this point of time application can log these listeing ports to some log file.
Similarly when the stub to the remote object is de-serialized in the client address space, it does also contain the client socket factory along with the end point details (host, port and server object ID). RMI runtime in the client address space needs to establish connection with the remote server object, it try to get the socket from client socket factory by invoking createSocket() on the client socket factory. Now the application can call getLocalPort() on the socket before returning it to the RMI transport layer.
There is a undocumented class RMIStat to dump RMI runtime state information. It provides a lot of static methods to dump RMI state information like object table, transports, threads etc. You can download the source code of this utility from RMI archives, but remember this is not a comman-line utility, you must invoke these static methods as part of the application code.

How to identify a port is used by which application

When I use ServerSocket to listen for request from the client, I got BindException with 'port is in use' message. Is it possible to get the process name which already using the port, if so then I can inform the user, so that he/she can decide whetehr to kill the process or just choose different port number.
Thanks for your help!!!
--KK

hi friend
read this one
Each port is identified by a number from 1 to 65,535. Each port
can be allocated to a particular service.
For example, the HTTP service, which is used by the Web, generally runs on port 80:
we say that a web server listens on port 80 for incoming connections. SMTP or email
servers run on port 25.
Port numbers from 1 to 1023 are reserved for well-known services such as finger, FTP,
HTTP,SMTP etc.
Well Known Port Numbers (0 through 1023)
2. Registered Port Numbers (1024 through 49151)
3. Dynamic Port Numbers (49152 through 65535)
so use port no above 1024, it might solve your problem

UseDefaultWebProxy = true not working on send port to call web service.

Hi
I have a local http proxy and have set this up in IE - which is working fine (confirmed through proxy log). I am testing a wcf basicHttpBinding to an asmx web service. Setting the useDefaultWebProxy = true does not trigger the send port to use the proxy
(I can confirm this via the proxy logs). However setting this property to false and explicity setting the proxy using the proxyAddress binding property will cause the send port to use the proxy to send the request.
My understanding was that setting the useDefaultWebProxy = true causes the send port to use the
auto-configured HTTP proxy of the system (which I set up in IE).
Furthermore removing
the proxy address from the proxyAddress property and changing back to useDefaultWebProxy = true causes the send port to error with the error along the lines of "You cannot specify an explicit Proxy Address as well as UseDefaultWebProxy=true" even
though the proxyAddress property is now cleared. Changing back to useDefaultWebProxy = false causes a different error "System.InvalidOperationException: This operation is not supported
for a relative URI"
The only way to fix this is to re-import the bindings
Biztalk Developer

Hi,
Are you sure the proxy is configured (using IE) for the user running the host instance? (Especially on non development machines) this is not by default the same user as the currently logged in user.

Palm M130 Screen not responding

My Palm M130 has been a workhorse for me. Now I am experiencing some functionality problems. I have to reset it quite often and most recently had to do a hard reset to get it to function at all. Luckily I HotSync to my computer regularly and could restore my info from there. Now the screen seems to have some "blank" spots where it doesn't respond to the stylus. Any fix for this or should I consider it time to replace my unit?
Post relates to: Palm m130

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
This lengthy thread mentions all known means to diagnose and remedy touchscreen (digitizer) issues. In short:
remove any screen protectors;
clean underneath the screen frame using a piece of folded paper;
failing that, Hard Reset and test your device BEFORE you Hotsync again.
If these steps don't result in any improvement, the digitizer is most probably failing. The only practical thing to do is to find a replacement. If you *really* love your m130 (I still have one, and still find myself playing Sim City on the game card in it), you can find one on eBay. Personally I would save that money and spend it on a new something else.

Just bought new Palm and not sure how to set it up best to sync

I just bought a new Palm TX. The manual says to connect the sync cable to palm and to computer usb port and connect a/c adapter to palm and an outlet and charge for 3 hrs which I'm getting ready to do. Before I start setting up my whole system I to am trying to determine a couple of things first.
Based on all forums I've read today, I want to use the missing sync with ical and address book rather than palm desktop. I also plan to sync using bluetooth rather than usb. (My goal plan is to use this set up to digitally implement kgtd - so the categories issue is key for me).
Thus I wonder, is there any reason to insert the palm desktop software cd and/or install isync palm conduit. It seems missing sync 5.x replaces isync palm conduit and installation of the missing sync will remove the isync palm conduit anyway.
Is there anything I will possibly miss with palm functionalities if I don't use that CD first and then switch to missing sync? Are there any pros or cons to loading isync palm conduit and Palm hotsync software and then switching almost immediately to missing synch with ical and address book. I guess what I'm wondering is, are there anything from the CD that I need or downloads or updates that I initially need to get that I can't get without new palm software installed initially rather than only having the missing sync installed.
On the other hand, are there benefits in immediately installing missing sync and not bothering with mucking things up with the new isync palm conduit and palm hotsync being on my system.
I seem to have isync 2.3 automatically from 10.4.8. I am afraid to, at least initially, upgrade to 10.4.9 given the many problems that seem to be reported from the upgrade regarding syncing and I have very little in ical or address book as of yet and an old palm desktop 4.2.1 that I haaven't used in over a year. I am not interested at this point in transfering anything from the old palm desktop (not so much there either and none of it current) although would be interested in (unless told it could cause other problems for me or be in any way suboptimal) keeping it as a sort of archive.
Also, why do I need to connect the USB port while doing the initial charge if the plan is to use bluetooth? Any pros or cons in doing/ not doing this - both using bluetooth and connecting the USB cable during the initial charge?
Any guidance on some or all of these things would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Great questions, and we'll attack them one at a time.
Q: '…is there any reason to insert the Palm Desktop software CD and install the iSync Palm Conduit?'
A: Actually, yes - there is. Mark/Space very strongly recommends that you perform one last synchronization event with the Address Book and iCal using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit prior to installing and configuring the Missing Sync. It is therefore necessary that you synchronize using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit at least once prior to your initial use of the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit require that the HotSync Manager and Transport Monitor—components of the Palm Desktop—be installed in order for iSync to launch, supervise and terminate a synchronization session with a Palm device.
Q: '… are there benefits in immediately installing the Missing Sync and not bothering with… …the new iSync Palm Conduit and Palm HotSync…'
A: No. It is critical that you overwrite the contents of your Palm device with data from the Address Book and iCal during the first synchronization event with the Missing Sync for Palm OS. Absolutely critical. Users who skip this required step always end up with synchronization problems later. In order to do that, you have to have first equalized the contents of the Address Book and iCal with the contents of your Palm device. Otherwise, you'll be overwriting the device with empty record sets. The easiest way to equalize them is to synchronize at least once using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit. Because the iSync Palm Conduit does not support categories, all field labels and extended attributes supported by both the Missing Sync for Palm OS and your device, you'll have some record cleanup tasks to perform as a result. But, don't skip that initial device overwrite requirement, or you'll put your data at serious risk and only spend much more time later on cleaning up the resulting mess.
Q: 'I am afraid to, at least initially, upgrade to 10.4.9…'
A: Don't be, though it makes little difference if you apply update before initiating the iSync synchronization, or afterward. You indicated that you have an old copy of Palm Desktop installed which you haven't used for more than a year. If that copy is not as recent as the once bundled on your CD-ROM, then install the CD-ROM copy. If they are the same version, or are different versions but neither are Palm Desktop 4.2.1 revision D, then download and install that package before configuring and using iSync. The package is available here:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421revd.html
If you aren't sure, then install this downloadable package, as it can only improve and not damage your currently installed Palm Desktop configuration.
Q: '…why do I need to connect the USB port while doing the initial charge if the plan is to use Bluetooth?'
You don't, although your device can obviously only charge with a USB-powered cable or cradle, or an AC adapter-powered cradle. I recommend that you initially configure it to synchronize via USB with both iSync and then with the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and then pair it using Bluetooth and synchronize using that pathway if you wish. Remember two things: while Bluetooth may be more convenient, USB moves substantially greater data in a shorter period of time—important during slow, initial synchronization events—and, the Missing Sync for Palm OS also supports network synchronization with your T|X, using it's WiFi capability. Initially using USB, later reconfiguring for Bluetooth and then for WiFi gives you literally one-button choices when using the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
In summary, you ought to…
• update the Palm Desktop suite to 4.2.1 revision D using the downloadable package
• add your device to iSync via USB using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option under the iSync Devices menu
• be sure to change the label of any contact address you want synchronized to <home>, as iSync ignores addresses not labeled that way
• merge the data in the Address Book and iCal with your Palm Device
• back up the Address Book data using the Back up Address Book… option in that application
• back up your iCal data using the Back up Database… option in that application
• install and configure the Missing Sync for Palm OS
• set your three Mark/Space conduits initially to overwrite your handheld with data from your computer
• synchronize initially via USB and include the TimeCopy conduit in this effort
• follow the Bluetooth wizard instructions in the Missing Sync to pair your device and add the Bluetooth option
• follow the network wizard instructions enable WiFi synchronization
• create sets of conduits appropriate for your workflow, and associate them with an interface: USB, Bluetooth or network
• correct your handheld data to reflect address data field label changes, calendar and contact categories, and so on
• synchronize again via any chose interface to propagate the corrected data

Palm m130 trying to get to work on Windows 7 64 bit operating system

I purchased a Palm m130 on Ebay. It did not come with a driver. The connection is a 9 pin serial. Web info says it comes with a usb but, this one did not. It seems to be in perfect working order.
All I want to do is to put one e-book on it.
I know it is supposed to be hot syc'd, but, since I don't have a driver I am sort of at a loss.
Does any one have an idea?
thanks
Brian

I am moving your question to the Windows Hotsync board, where you will find this thread stickied near the top, discussing Windows 7 & 64 bit Hotsync issues.
There are no 64-bit USB drivers. Only way to sync with 64-bit machines is wirelessly, via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (neither of which your m130 is capable of), or IR.

[SOLVED]wlan0 up - Operation not possible due to RF-kill

Hello everyone.
I've encountered trouble trying to activate my wlan0 interface and I was wishing that someone here might be able to help me.
$ip link

It is worth mentioning that this problem has remained persistent throughout multiple linux distributions that I've tried on my laptop. The Wifi works fine in Windows 7 but as soon as I switch to any linux distro it stops working.
I intend to put your advice to good use so any help would be very appreciated.

As I can see you have two wireless interaces, when i see only phy0 with rfkill, it's maybe your hp-wifi that force to disable phy0 interace. I think if you blacklist the driver it might allow phy0 to be enabled.
Please download and install lshw available in the community repo and enter in a terminal :
$ lshw -c network

Palm M130 exports

Did not see the board I needed to select. My question is with Palm M130 Desktop. I would like to export data to an office product but cannot find out how. I do see instructions to import from excel etc and would think if you can import you SHOULD be able to export. Have a physician that has a lot of data that needs to be removed as we no longer support these devices. Any assistnace would be great. HP hadgiven the phone number to contact Palm support at 866-791-7256 but this number is not good.
thanks!

If you *really* love your m130 (I still have one, and still find myself playing Sim City on the game card in it), you can find one on eBay. Personally I would save that money and spend it on a new something else.

Palm M130 software and/or hardware

Still no reply to my problem? M130 won't accept and run windows based program made for PDA. Loaded this program along with Windows Mobile 2003 on to a 2 Gig card and put it in my M130. You can see both programs on the card while the card is in the desktop computer but I can't get to them on the M130. The M130 does see and recognize the card and will tell you all about it but no path to install the programs. Can anyone HELP???????????????????????????????????????????????///
thanks in advance for your help

No amount of question marks (or any punctuation mark for that matter!) will make a PalmOS device run Windows Mobile OS based software.
Never has been able to, and never will.
BTW - you placed your first post in the Practice Area of the Forum. This is a mere chalkboard to play in, and real questions do not belong there nor do they get answered as the area gets erased on a regular basis.

Palm m130

I recently removed the back of my M130 to dtermine if I could replace the battery myself. When I reconnected the two parts of the case and turned the unit on the characters on the screen were quite dim, to the extent that they were almost unreadable.
What did I do wrong, aside from opening the case, and how might I correct the problem?

Not that I know of. I just separated the two parts of the case, did not touch anything, looked at the battery(why I don't really know) and put the case back together. That's it.
I had really hoped with all the knowledge out there someone might have an answer for me by now. Guess not.

I just got a Palm m130 and I can't HotSync it to my computer!

Hello! I'm new here. My mom found a Palm m130 at Good Will, and she gave it to me. This is about the 5th day that I been trying to HotSync it to my computer. I downloaded the Palm Desktop 4.1.4. and nothing didn't happened. I'm hoping that someone here will help me. I know it's a old device, but still, I like using old stuff once in a while. I push the HotSync button that's on the Cradle/Cable and nothing didn't happened. ~Advance Thanks to anyone who can help me!~

I tried the link again, and the page came up right. I just looked at Palm Desktop 6.2 and HotSync Manager (Windows). I don't have a fast Internet to download 72 MB. I don't have Windows Vista. I don't use Microsoft Outlook 2007. HotSync is turned on. I got the HotSync from Palm Desktop 4.1.4. I reset my device. I disconnect the Palm and reconnect the Palm. I cleaned the connector. I didn't had anything under the Calendar part. I looked at the cables. They're in the right spots. My USB is working fine, because I tried another device, and it works fine. The error message says:
HotSync Problem. The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again.
I didn't seen anything with Timing out. Windows XP I clicked on the words "compatible with HotSync" and it went to a blank page. "Palm Desktop", as I mentioned, I don't have a fast Internet connection to download all of the 72 MB. And AOL kicks me off on their free will. I'm reading the "Windows XP HotSync article" page. "Part One" I went to the Device Manager on my computer, and I don't see the words "Palm USB" or "Handspring USB". Do I have to download a device thing to be able to find the Palm m130?
"Part Two" I didn't seen a yellow note floating over the System Tray. I follow the steps, and I got it to work. So "Part Two" under the "Windows XP HotSync article" helped me! Yea! I'm happy! Thank you sooooo much for the link smkranz! I'm going to print the page in case I have trouble HotSyncing it again, in the near future. I heard that I can get applications for it. Is that right? If so, what applications can go on the Palm m130? Again Thank You soooo much for sending the link!
