Palm m505 and Windows Vista

I recently resurrected my Palm M505 to start using it again but it doesn't want to hotsync to my computer using Windows Vista. I tried downloading update 6.2 from this site (not that it showed that it would workf for my Palm, but what the heck) but it didn't fix the problem either and I'm getting a fatal error message. Is there a patch or a work around that I can download/use that will allow my Palm to work with Windows Vista? I really don't want to get rid of the Palm and switching operating systems is not an option either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Check the OS version such as 32 bit or 64 bit.
If it's 64bit then the device will not syc. That are no drivers for the device, you might want to consider infrared hotsync.

Your question is frequently asked and answered in the Windows Hotsync board. You need to download PalmHotsyncSetup from www.pimlicosoftware.com

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
I have moved your post to the Windows Hotsync board, where you will find lots of information about syncing older Palm devices with Windows Vista. I suggest you begin with the very first post in this board.

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.

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 TX and Windows Vista

Is there third-party software that will enable one to connect the Palm TX to a PC operating under Windows Vista? If so, has anyone had experience, good or bad, with it?
Post relates to: Palm TX

Thank you both for your helpful comments. I am moving along, albeit at a snail’s pace and I need some clarification on a couple of points.
My machine has the Vista 64bit operating system, but it does not have bluetooth capability, so I understand that I need to purchase a D-Link Bluetooth adapter. I find that there are two models. Is the DBT 120 D-Link adequate or do I need the DBT 122 D-Link adapter?
I currently have Palm Desktop 4.2 on my computer. When I loaded Palm Desktop 6.2 I found that it erased my calendar and my address book. I had both backed up, but I didn’t even need the backup. When I uninstalled 6.2 and reloaded 4.2 from my Palm disk, both strangely reappeared. However, how can I load and keep 6.2 without losing my calendar and address book?
Thanks again.

Separate Palm desktop installs for Palm M505 and its apps and Palm Treo 680 and its apps on same Windows XP computer?

Hello:
I'm trying to do a workaround. I've got a Palm M505 that has a terrific keyboard that hooks up to it. This lets me write documents in a very portable way. The Treo 680 never had the equivalent, really full-sized external keyboard made compatible with it. So, I want to create documents on the M505 but otherwise mostly use the Treo 680.
Here's the rub. When I tried to sync both devices to my Palm Desktop version 4.1.2 for Windows XP, it didn't work. Hotsync tries to synchronize apps that won't work on the M505. Also, the versions of Documents to Go are very different (5.x versus 8.x).
I would love to have a separate Palm Desktop installation for each device, so I can have a nice desktop environment for each by launching them separately. But, the Palm Desktop installation "wizard" shuts down and won't give me the opportunity to do a separate Desktop install.
Any ideas other than buying an ultra-small laptop and dropping this kludgy scheme? For instance, if I were to copy the installed files from one directory to another, would this work, or would it not be set up in the Registry?
Thanks!

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Okay. Stubbornness pays off! I was able to beam documents between my Palm M505 and Treo 680, avoiding the need for complicated syncing of both Palms to my laptop machine. I was also able to beam documents from both Palms to my Dell Inspiron M300 laptop, running Windows XP Pro.
When beaming between Palm devices, the results were better. In the M505, Documents to Go version 5.004 doesn't translate documents into Microsoft Word format but into something it calls Word to Go. The Treo has DTG version 8.003, which is able to read files in Word to Go format and save in native Microsoft Word for Windows format.
However, even when beaming a Word to Go (old format) document directly onto the Desktop of my Windows XP machine, it gave me a document I could open, with the text I'd input following a bunch of characters Word obviously didn't understand. If I add the file from my desktop to the newer Documents to Go version on my laptop, I expect it will translate it into a Word file when it syncs to the Treo but haven't tested that. In either case, beaming between Palm devices is the easiest solution and completely solves the problem.
For any readers who are interested, the reason I've so stubbornly tried to solve this problem is that I'm a fast touch typist. My old Palm M505 plugs directly into a wonderful, old Palm Portable Keyboard that is full-sized. Because it's a hard-wired connection, I can type fast. That old keyboard compresses into the same folded footprint as some new foldover external keyboards. It does this even though much bigger by folding in an accordian-like fashion, with four flat surfaces folder together. That keyboard design now exists in some of the keyboards sold by IGo corporation (their old name for it was Sierra Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard). But, they were unable to figure out how to handshake their Bluetooth with the odd Bluetooth configuation in the Treo 680. Why Palm made the Bluetooth library different in the Treo 680 from other Treos is a mystery to me, but enough of this tangent. Some interested in this workaround may be curious for similar reasons.

HotSynch Connection gets lost between TE2 and Windows Vista

I'm trying to hotsync (by bluetooth) between my Tungsten E2 and Windows Vista. I got them speaking to each other, but the hotsync starts and never gets past the Calendar. The laptop looks like it's still running, but the TE2 hotsynch log says the connection was lost.
Is there a way to keep them connected long enough to sync?
The TE2 is running Palm OS Garnet v. 5.4.7 and HotSync v. 5.0P
The laptop is running Windows Vista 7 64 bit, HotSync Manager 7.0.2 and Palm Desktop 6.2.2.
Thanks!
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Oh, yeah, one more thing..the hotsync works fine by USB cable on the desktop PC running Windows XP, so I don't think there's any corrupted databases on the TE2 (because if there was, then the USB cable hotsync wouldn't work)

Is Verizon going to acknowlege the problems with FIOS and Windows Vista

For months now, I have been reading the numerous problems Fios internet customers are having with Fios internet/Actiontech Router and Windows Vista and there has been no acknowledgement by Verizon of this current major issue.
I have also experienced the exact same issue for months now since I switched to Verizon FIOS internet. Previously I had Comcast HSI using my Windows Vista laptop. I had their service for over a year and I NEVER has a problem with the Windows Vista globe icon disappearing and loosing internet connection. The Globe always stayed on and never went away and I never lost connection when I had Comcast
I had Verizon FIOS installed last September with my Windows Vista computer and my wireless internet connection started to drop from day 1 and it has been a daily occurrence for over 5 months now. It has gotten so bad, I have had to hardwire my laptop to to be able to use the internet uninterrupted.
This is what daily scenario is:
When I turn on my laptop(with Windows Vista, I can initially get full internet access(with the globe on and it says "Local and internet). After about 10 minutes or less, the globe switches to "local only" and I can still get internet access. After another 5 or so minutes, a large X covers the globe and I lose internet connection entirely. The actiontech router wireless signal is no longer listed as one of the wireless networks. The only way for me to regain internet access is either to restart my laptop or reboot the actiontech router.
Numeorus posts here, over by DSL forums(Broadband Reports),Microsoft's website and a few othere websites detail this issue.
I am extremely shocked and surprised that Verizon has not tried to fix this issue by working with both the makers of the Actiontech Router as well as Microsoft to find out what the problem is and how to fix it.
I would just like to reiterate I strongly believe this is primarily a FIOS internet issue since I previously had Comcast HSI for over a year with the same Windows Vista laptop and I NEVER had that problem. Also, I can connect to my neighbors wireless connection(she uses Comcast HSI) and when I do, the globe stay on all the time on my computer and the internet does not lose connection.
I know that there are a couple of Verizon employees here. Please tell the higher ups who handle FIOS internet that this is a major issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
P.S: Please don't tell me to go by my own router because then, I will have to deal with the issues of setting it up to work with Fios TV and the related VOD, widgets, remote DVR compatability issues to deal with. I don't think I can deal with the additional headaches.

FIOS is short for fiber optics. fiber optics is different technology than DSL.
With that said, if you search the Microsoft databases for vista issues with fiber optics, (CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE PROVIDER OF FIBER TO THE HOUSE, that being Verizon, so yes you can also search Vista issues with verizon and\or fios) and you will find that Microsoft already acknowledges this issue with their software. AND they offer you a fix.

Is there a fix for the incompatibility between itunes and Windows Vista?

I'm having a problem with itunes and Windows Vista. When I download itunes it disables my dvd drive. I have found a fix for that by deleting some registry items, but when I do that itunes is disabled. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?

Hey Don,
What exactly happens after you install iTunes? Do you see an error message?

Is Magic Mouse compatible with PC and Windows Vista

Hello to everyone, I'm a new member of this forum, I hope someone will help me, please.
I'm taking a look at the latest beautiful Apple's product and I felt in love with Magic Mouse, I'd like to have it for ma PC (not a Mac) with OS Vista.
Is there anyboby who knows if this mouse is compatible with a Pc and Windows Vista OS?
Actually I don't have bluetooth thecnology on my pc but if Magic Mouse were compatible I'd buy an usb adaptor.
Thanks to everyone will help e!

I asked a similar question a few hours back and no answers yet. I think nobody knows since nobody has had the chance to test them. If previous releases are any indication, you'll probably get basic functionality because it is bluetooth, but for the advanced features or setting options you'll have to wait for a Windows driver, which can sometimes take a few months or more.

Fieldpoint Hardware Drivers that are compatible with LV 8.5 and Windows Vista

I trying to develop in LabVIEW for some Fieldpoint hardware. I was going to download the hardware drivers from NI, but only see drivers that are compatible with Windows XP and LV 8.2
Or, am I just misinterpreting this?
Also, are there any potential conflicts with me developing on Vista, if my end-user, is uding another OS?
Daddy-O
One should welcome adversity as an opportunity to excel.

Hi Daddy-O,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments. This is a little misleading, and unfortunately the driver you are looking for is currently not directly searchable. In order to use your FieldPoint hardware with LabVIEW 8.5 and Windows Vista, you will need the FieldPoint 6.0 driver. This can be found within the disk that is distributed with new FieldPoint hardware, and any Device Drivers CD from August 2007 forward. Unfortunately, a standalone installer is not available for this driver, and if you do not have a hard copy of the Device Drivers, you can download this here. From this installer, you should be able to select FieldPoint 6.0 and install this software.
I hope this helps! Let me know if there is anything else I can clarify. Have a great day!

Share filing between Mac and Windows Vista

Hello,
I am trying to file share my iBook and Vista.
On my I book under Finder >>>Network>> I see my computer name "Computer-PC" but the icon is grayed out.
When I click on it it says:
The Alias "Computer-PC" Could not opened, because the original item cannot be found. Then it gives me 3 choices
Delete Alias, Fix Alias , OK
I hit OK it does nothing
I hit Fix Alias, Then it ask me to choose an item to open. I dont know what to open????
I do not want to Delete Alias.
Also I tried to connect Vista and it does see the IBook on the network, but then when I try to connect It asks for the user name and password of my iBook
I verified this by reading the support docs on the Apple website.
System Preference >>>Systems >>>Accounts >> verified and changed password.
Still no luck. Can someone give me some advice? Thanks!!

There are more than a few threads on the topic across the web; so I guess a search
would be in order and some sorting of results to enable a wise choice from them.
There's also the Apple Help built into OS X and some ideas present themselves.
Firewall changes would probably be necessary, and the Sharing (system preference)
panel has some access settings for some of this sort of thing.
(The closest I have been to sharing between a Windows machine and a Mac, is when
I let a few Windows machines mistakenly given to me to troubleshoot & repair, were
brought into my space and they temporarily shared a workbench. I found out what
was wrong with them (outside of the poor quality & shabby OS) -- and out they went!)

I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista. when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in

I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista. when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in the width and height boxes. the cursor won't enter. same thing with resolution. what did i do? what's wrong?

The first thing you might try is resetting the Crop Tool by right clicking on the crop icon in the tool options bar and choosing Reset Tool.
If that doesn't work then the next thing is to reset the photoshop elements 2 settings file by holding down
the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after clicking or double clicking on the pse 2 shortcut.
Keep holding the keys until a dialog appears ask if you want to delete the photoshop elements settings file
and click yes in the dialog.
