Palm m505 Unable to Sync on Sony VAIO FS920 Running Palm OS 4.1

I have been unable to sync my Palm Vx running Palm 4.1 since I've had my laptop and I running Palm Desktop 4.1.4. I have contacted Palm Support multiple times regarding this issue and sited an article that I found on their site indicating that this is a hardware related issue from Palm. They claim they are sending me a "reset" card by I have yet to receive anything from them in the last 4 months.
Can anyone tell me if there is another way I can get my data off of my Palm Vx before I throw it out the window? Any suggestions of how I can resolve this sync issue? Here's the story from the Palm website.....
New cradles offer enhanced ESD protection.
A small percentage of our m500 and m505 handheld users have reported synchronization issues - they are unable to perform the HotSync® function. The issue is electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Here's what happens: you sometimes build up excess static electricity (hair stands on end, clothes cling, you get a shock when you slide across your car seat), and if it isn't dissipated into, say, a door knob or metal cabinet, then it's possible that at the time you place the handheld into the cradle, a discharge of static electricity can occur, which in some situations can scramble the synchronization software. When this happens, neither the handheld nor the cradle is damaged, but the synchronization software needs to be reset by Palm.
Palm handhelds and HotSync cradles meet CE standards (8KV) for protection against electrostatic discharge. The newly designed “E” and “H” cradles include enhanced static electricity buffers. You can get one free if you own a Palm m500 or m505 handheld that did not ship with an enhanced cradle. Please contact Palm Technical support for additional information. Please have your Palm m500 or m505 serial number available.

Thanks for your response. My mistake on the initial posting, I do have the m505. My error in the initial message.

Palm m505 Unable to Sync

I have been unable to sync my Palm m505 running Palm OS 4.1 for over a year. I am running Palm Desktop 4.1.4 on a Sony VGN-FS920 running XP Pro.
I have contacted Palm Support multiple times regarding this issue and sited an article that I found on their site indicating that this is a hardware related issue from Palm. They claim they are sending me a "reset" card by I have yet to receive anything from them in the last 5 months.
Can anyone tell me if there is any other way I can get all of my data off of my Palm m505 to another Palm device since I can't sync to the desktop? Is it possible to beam entire categories from one Palm to another?
Do you have any suggestions of how I can resolve this sync issue?

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you've been having. PM me with the Service request number and I can look into where that card is. (If you don't have the SR number, the name and contact number should be enough.) Don't post this information here. PM me.
Yes you can beam entire categories from one Palm to another.

Unable to connect to Sony Vaio with my Nokia C7-00...

The pc doesn´t find my telephone. Bluetooth is on and visibility is enable.
Help please.
Thanks.

If you are trying to use your phone as a modem, you must have either PC Suite or the phone as a modem on every PC that you want to connect to the internet. I hope you have a great data plan with your cell provider if you are doing this. Most people use their PC as the internet connection and the phone either connected via USB cable or via wi-fi to their wireless network.
If I have helped you with your problem in some way, please take a little time and hit the kudos button in my post. Without your feedback, I don't know if I am being helpful or should just be put out to pasture.

How do i download my itunes to my new sony vaio. My original laptop no longer works so am unable to switch it on which is where my original itunes account was setup. i have downloaded my itunes to my iphone and ipad with no problem

Why wont me itunes downlaod to my new sony vaio?
i follow all of the steps and have managed to get my itunes onto my ipad and iphone but for some reason nothing appears on the vaio. My original laptop is broken and will no longer switch on which is where my account was originally set up. I dont really understand icloud. i thought everything was stored there so dont understand why this is happening Can anyone help please?

What exactly is the problem that you are having ? Is it with downloading the iTunes program itself, or redownloading your purchases ?
If iTunes itself then you can download it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If it doesn't download then have you tried a different browser, and/or tried changing the settings on the browser that you are using e.g. turn off 'pop-up blocker' ?
If you've installed iTunes and want to download your past purchases, then what you can redownload depends upon what country that you are in, and whether the items are still in your country's store. What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage :
But ideally you'd have your own backup copy of all your downloads/library (and not relying on redownloading), a song/album etc could be removed from the store at any time.
If you will be syncing your iPad and iPhone to that computer then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

How do I get Sony Vaio flip to sync with Iphone

I just purchased the new Sony Vaio Flip and when I plug the USB cable for my iphone 4 the charging bolt flickers on and off. It seems like the connection on both ports is not stable. I tried uninstalling Itunes, but this does not work as it continues to flicker uncontrolably. I also, tried looking in device management for the USB drivers, if the the iphone is plugged it keeps refreshing-consistent with the flickering. I also unplugged the device and checked all the drivers and they are up to date. I don't think it's a windows 8 issue because the same phone and cable combination is working fine with my home computer that is also 8 Help, anyone?

This appears to be an issue with another Apple product and the VAIO flip PC as i have the same issue with the VAIO Flip 15" and an IPAD2. At first, the ITunes application would not start without a failure until i copied the file, QTMovieWin.dll to the C:\Program Files\Itunes according to another post.
After getting the Itunes app to run without failure, the IPAD when connected through its USB cable, continuously flickers and nevers registers as connected to the PC.
I am to the point of acquiring the Samsung Note 2014 tablet as my son has the Samsung Note 3 phone and i am using the Samsung G4 phone. Both work flawlessly and NO ITUNES!

nonsense. iTunes works flawlessly on millions of Windows PCs, so there's obviously something wrong with your particular system.

I am using Sony Handycam DCR-HC2 camcoder and my laptop is sony vaio vgn-nr160e. Before upgrading to windows 7, I was able to capture home made movie with Click to DVD program via i-link cable with vista home.
From the time I update to Windows 7, I am unable to capture home movies. Presently I am using windows movie maker 2.6. When I connect my handycam to laptop with i-link, it won't reconize.

I have
Windows 7 RC
Sony handycam DCR-TRV19
Sony iLink cable

With the Sony cable (verses a 4 pin to 4 pin cable) I do get DV IN on the camera when I connect.
But in device manager it does not show up under IEEE or as an Image Device :-(

2. it said it couldnt read my iphone and to restore to factory settings
on the first problem i just ejected the iphone and did a reboot and i reboot the computer also but then when i connected again i then got the second error
so i backed everything up on icloud that i could and then tried to restore to factory settings but then another error came up saying that due to an unknown error i could not restore the iphone
i looked at forums and i saw that i should just manually restore from the iphone itself which i did but then icloud lost have my notes that i had but itunes recognised the phone and sync did start but then half way through said that songs could not be snyc'd due to an error and then all my music was greyed out and i couldnt play it
Then i had to begin again with all the errors of not connecting

Internet explorer keeps saying download interupted when i get to 99% and it will not go any further and google chrome says pc doesnt allow download check internet settings
please help because im about going barmy with this

Sony Vaio VGC-V3M or V3S vs DVD burning

I would like to buy a Sony Vaio desktop probably the VGC-V3M.On my current Dell Inspiron laptop I was unable to burn DVDs to back up iTunes so had to do it on Cd's-15 in all! and I want to be certain that the Sony VGC-V3M or V3S will do it to DVDs.
Does anyone have one of these computers and been able to burn DVDs succesfully?
thanks
Jonathan

Sadly, we see a number of problems that are unique to the VAIO.
Sony is notorious for rewriting the operating system to fit their needs. Still, you'd think, if Premiere Elements came bundled with it, it would at least work with the system.
I highly recommend manually updating the operating system and firmware (these things become outdated weekly, and outdated firmware can really wreak havoc on your machine), clearing off the junkware, optimizing Vista and making sure you have the latest version of Quicktime and, if you're using Premiere Elements 3, that you have installed the 3.02 patch. These links to the FAQ library at the top of this forum will show you how.

http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bc448a7

And, if all that fails, it might well be worth a call to Sony, since they supposedly built and tested their machine and software before they sold it.

Unable to Sync Centro with Vista 32; device driver problem

I currently sync my Palm Centro (Verizon) to my Desktop Computer running Windows XP and Palm Desktop 6.2.2 with no problem. I am trying to move everything to an HP Notebook running Vista Business 32 bit. I disabled Norton Internet Security and loaded Palm 6.2.2 on the notebook but was unable to sync. Error message on the Palm said “The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again”. On the notebook the Palm handheld device driver has a “?” besides it. I tried doing a clean uninstall and reloaded Palm Desktop 6.2.2, but it still gives me the same error message. I tried looking for an updated device driver, uninstalling and reinstalling the device driver didn’t help either. Palm Support was unable to fix the problem. I then tried restoring the notebook to the factory condition, and reinstalled Palm Desktop; same error message; Palm device driver still has a “?”. I called HP Tech support. They had me update the Bios and update Vista to Service Pack 2. Still has the same problem. This is driving me crazy! Any ideas???
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

The system doesn't allow me to browse to PalmUSBD.inf or any other specific file name. It only allows me to browse to the subfolder USB_Driver. When I tried to key in the file name C:\Program Files\Palm\USB_Driver\PalmUSBD.inf and click next I'm told "The location you specified does not exist or cannot be reached."
I tried uninstalling the driver, then reconnecting to another USB port; driver seemed to install successfully, but then still has "?" and doesn't work. I am not using a USB Hub.

I have been having a lot of trouble with the latest itunes update and my ipod classic 80Gb i.e. being unable to sync songs, but now i have no files at all on my ipod, it is completely blank when i view it from my computer. I need help, please, anybody.

As it says above, i have been having a lot f trouble with my ipod classic and the latest itunes update, i was unable to sync songs or anything to it and have tried every conceivable 'fix' i could find. i have run an itunes diagnostic and the results are posted below. a major problem is that when i try and view my ipod through my computer it displays nothing at all on the ipod, no files or anything, this may be the problem but i have no idea how it has happened or how i could resolve it.
This ipod holds huge sentimental value and i am loathe to buy a new one! If anybody can help it is greatly appreciated, than kyou in advanced.
