Palm m515

I have a Palm515 PDA. Just got a new PC. (HP Pavilion) Downloaded the Palm software and cannot sync because the pc does not have a comm port with pins in back. Is there another cable available to purchase that would utilize the USB only? Where do I find support for this old PDA?

You have the same issue with the Centro as the m515 - it cannot sync to Vista64 by the cable. The Centro would have to sync via either BlueTooth or Infra-Red!
Replacing a screen is a delicate task. Directfix.com has repair videos on its website that you can view to get an idea of what is entailed.
Hope I have helped in some way!

Palm m515 lost power and all data and will no longer Sync to Palm Software

I guess I waited too long between charges and my Palm Lost all its data - however it all backed up on my work PC. The issue is that when I try to sync it, it asks me to select a user and then I get the following error message "HotSync operation was interrupted. Some of your data was NOT backed up. For details, tap HotSync Long on the HotSync screen." However there are no details to be found, it just says "HotSync operation was terminated. Some of your data was not NOT backed up."
I am hoping that there is something I can do without reinstalling the software since 1 - all of my information going back to 2002 is only on my computer and 2 - I am not able to install apps on my work computer.
Thank you!!!

I went to C:\Program Files\Palm - there was no PalmOne folder. The folders in this folder are _PqiTemp_, Components, helpnote, Image Library, PergolC, Photodesktop, Themes, Update and USB_Driver. In PergolC there was a folder called backup, which had pictures in it. I renamed it oldBackup and it still isn't working.
Please let me know what else to try. I have selected my name as the user each time.

Synchornization of Palm M515 & to Outlook 2000 suddenly stopped operating...........

I have a Palm M515 which I synchornize daily to Outlook 2000 using HotSync Manager 4.1.0. I have been using this set-up for years, and it suddenly stopped operating. I get the following error message on the screen of my Palm: "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your set-up and try again." I have tried all the fixes recommended by Palm for troubleshooting synchronization with no success. Are there any ideas?

Plug in your device and don't perform a Hotsync. Then right click "My Computer" (on your PC) and go to "Properties". Click on the Hardware tab and click Device Manager. Once in there you should see the Palm device under Universal Serial Bus Controllers or Network adaptors. Once you locate the device, right click it and click uninstall. As soon as you click Uninstall, unplug the device from your computer. Allow the driver to completely uninstall then plug your device back into your computer and try a hotsync operation.
This process is called reloading the drivers. Let me know if it works for you.

Palm m515 under Windows Vista 64

I just acquired a Palm m515 from a relative of mine. I brought it home to hook it up, downloaded and installed the newest version of the Palm Desktop (PalmDesktopWin62.exe) to set up the HotSync. Upon hitting the HotSync button on the cradle, a box pops up telling me that I need a driver, after searching the Palm website and Google and not finding much information from either place, I decided to post here. Am I wasting my time or is there anyway I can use the HotSync with this computer.
Post relates to: Palm m515

You will be limited to using Palm Desktop 4.1.4E. It should sync regular PIM databases, but install tool doesn't work on Vista.
There are many (many) threads here about Vista issues and the Palm Desktop software, as well as the Vista information page linked from the main Palm Support site.
Topic is veering from the original Message Subject re: Windows Vista 64. These subjects are covered in many other threads which can be found with the Search function, so this thread will be marked Read Only.

Register Palm m515

Hi
I have had my Palm m515 for quite a few years it was given to me as a present so I do not have the receipt.
I am unable to register this device because I cannot read the registration number by the bar code on the back of the device as it is blurred.
Is there another way of doing this.

Hello kenmay52 and welcome to the Palm forums.
On your Palm, tap the House icon to bring you to the application launcher if it is not already displayed. Then, tap the Menu icon. Tap Info from the App menu. This will bring up the Info screen. Tap on the Version tab along the bottom of the screen. When you do, you will see the version of Palm OS that is installed on your device (probably Palm OS 4.0) and the device's serial number.
Hope that helps,

Palm m515/ Portable keyboard problem!

Hello guys!
Ok, so i have a palm M515. I wanted to get a keyboard for it, so I had gotten the Universal IR keyboard, after researching and finding that it was compatible with my Palm, and guess what? Didn'f work. Sent it back, and did WAY more research on the right keyboard. So i got the Palm portable keyboard! It said it was compatible with the m125, etc. and most of all, the m500 series! I had the M515. I had gotten it today, and decided to try it out! I went to connect my PDA with the keyboard, and connectors, are different.
(really) Long story short, is the m515 REALLY compatible with the palm portable keyboard P10802U, or was I just screwed out of my money again?
If it IS compatible, why on earth does myine not work with it!?
Thanks!

Converted from clie to palm m515

when I converted from my sony clie to the palm m515, apllications from the clie where copied to the m515. these applications will not work. How do I delete them? I have tried using the install tool, but it does not show me any applications as being installed. can the applications be deleted from the handheld instead of from the desktop? If not, how do I get the desktop to recognize the application list?
Thanks
Gale
Post relates to: Palm m515

Go to Start -> My Computer -> (C drive -> Program Files -> Palm -> Look for your username profile -> Look for a folder called Backup and rename it to Backup.old.
So if the application do not function on the device just delete them and next time you hotsync those application will not be transferred.

Cannot hotsynch with Palm m515 to Vista 32 home, cannot install driver, digital signature error

I recently got a used palm m515, it came with the manual, cradle, cables etc. but did not include the installation disk for palm desktop software. I downloaded software version 4.1.4 from the hp website, no problems. I went through the setup for the m515, no problems. I tried to hotsynch the first time via usb from the cradle, and was prompted by windows to install the usb driver. When I attempted to install the driver, I got the following message:
"The driver cannot be installed because it is either not digitally signed or not signed in the appropriate manner. Contact your hardware vendor."
Since then, I have uninstalled 4.1.4, reinstalled it, got the same message, uninstalled it again, tried installing 6.2, same message, uninstalled that. I've hard reset the m515 twice. I've made sure everything is plugged in, turned on, etc.
Please help!

Just some general thoughts...
Are you absolutely sure you have a 32bit Vista system? It sounds like the error you get when trying to connect to a 64bit version...
Did you connect the device before installing Palm Desktop? USB devices need their drivers in place prior to connecting the cable.
A "Clean Uninstall" sounds in order before trying anything else. See this thread by smkranz for instructions.
I'd stick with version 4.x if indeed you have a 32bit system. 6.2 will require another program to get the database structure correct with older PalmOS devices.
(Speaking of "Clean", make sure the HotSync port on the m515 is clean, and the fingers in the cradle all look straight. They can be cleaned with electronic "contact cleaner", or carefully with a q-tip and isopropyl alcohol.)

Unable to install an older version of Palm M515 over the installed version of Palm TX

I bought a Palm TX, installed it over the Palm m515 software but returned the device since I didn't like it.
I still have my M515 and want to use it again. I downloaded the software for the Palm m515 and tried to install it but it doesn't work since the TX software is still on my hard drive. I have the handheld M515 with all the personal data on it.
If I delete the TX program I could likely use the Palm m515 again provided the Hotsync works. Should I take the plunge?

Palm m515 crashes every time we try to sync

Installed a brand new Dell PC with XP Pro OS and installed client's old Palm m515 to this machine. From day 1 we have had issues. In the beginning the machine could not make a connection with the device. We upgraded to 6.x software, it worked fine for 2 days and then every time we try to sync the computer crases.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello harunh and welcome to the Palm forums.
For the 32-bit edition of Windows XP Home or Pro, with any Windows XP service pack (SP) applied, you will need to use Palm Desktop 4.1.4 with the m505. Palm Desktop 6.22 is intended to be used with Palm OS 5 devices, like the Palm TX, and Windows Vista.

Palm m515 220-volt by mistake Any Hope?

I was in The Netherlands and plugged my Palm m515 cradle (with the Palm in it) into the wall outlet using an adapter that did not convert the current. The light on my Palm went on like it was being charged then went off. The Palm worked for a bit, then said low battery, then went dead. The charging light does not illuminate when the Palm is in the cradle. I also tried a different charger, also with no response.
Is there any hope for the Palm, or is it dead and gone.
Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm m515

(This thread was kinda old in the first place, but who cares?) If it won't charge or anything, then either your battery or charging circuit is fried. If you don't want to upgrade, then try getting a new battery installed and see if it works after that. If it doesn't, then the charging circuitry is fried and the device is now bricked.
A good repair place is http://www.usedpdaparts.com . They should have the battery you need, and if you send it in to them for $15, they can diagnose the problem. If it's the battery, then they only charge you $15 + the battery. If the charging circuit is dead, you can either tell them to send it back and you're only out $15, or you can have them replace the motherboard (If the charging circuitry is on the mobo, anyway), which can get quite expensive.

Any recommends for a mains charger for a Palm M515?

I'd like to be able to use a simple mains charger for my Palm M515 when I travel (not a car charger). I see that Amazon have one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mains-Travel-Charger-Power-Supply/dp/B002UO5C9I/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid...
but I'm a bit concerned that it could fry my Palm. Can anyone recommend a (UK) mains charger which they've tried?

I could not access that link but here is a link to an international charger for sale on directfix.com.
http://www.directfix.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=GHT&Product_Code=CL-903&Category_Co...
What you need to look for is that the charger is an "international" model. With that model, you can use the different interchangeable plugs that are supplied for each country that requires a different plug and voltage.

Trouble hotsync palm m515 to windows vista

I think I have been to every single board to find a solution. I have a windows vista and my palm m515 wont hotsync. It said to download pd 6.2.2 and palmhotsyncsetup from pimlicosoftware which I did and it still won't sync!!!!!!!!!! Very, very upset someone please help.
Post relates to: Palm m515

Hope this helps.... Having the same problem with PD 6.xxx Using a Palm m515 with Vista Ultimate. Can connect but no data transfers. I tried to overwrite the newer palm desktop with an older version (know you're not supposed to do that, but???) Got an error message saying a newer version was installed, and it quit. Went to the control panel - add/remove software, and removed the newer palm desktop. Then I downloaded the older (ver 4.1xx) and installed it. Once it was up, the hotsync did NOT show a USB connect option, but apparently Vista and Palm don't really care, because it worked like a charm. Hit the hotsyn button on the PDA and off we went. Now I have to go to my wife's laptop (same OS and problem) and export a BUNCH of her stuff and do the same remove and install scenario. Her laptop, her data, my problem - by marital default.

Sync ical with palm m515

Hello,
I am trying to get my palm m515 to work with my new imac os x. I have down loaded Palm Desktop for mac but when I tried to open it I was prompted to convert the file. Any ideas on how to get this to work?
FYI-I have windows.

yes, it is possible. do look at the following links:
http://www.busymac.com
http://www.spanningsync.com
i use spanning sync with two macs and sync via a google calendar account. you could sync the mac with google calendar - you would have to open an account, but it is free - and then give access to these google calendars to your husband who would in turn sync them to his pc, i assume he is running outlook on his pc. i did a quick internet search and found this link but i am sure there are others for google calendar/outlook syncing: http://oggsync.com/
hope this helps
by the way, love denmark! i used to live in humlebaek for 5 years a long time ago.

Palm m515 and Windows 7 (64 bit) - Help!

From reading previous posts I get that there are no drivers for Windows 7, especially the 64 bit kind and we can't sync through USB.
I also couldn't find a way to upload the backup data from the old palm pc software to the new one, even by importing files saved on the program folder or a memory stick. I simply can't get my stuff from my Palm or the old computer into the new desktop.
Is there anything being done about this (will there be drivers soon?) or has someone found a solution for this yet?
I'm going quietly insane... please tell me good news.

Hi,
Yeah I was wondering about the drivers myself. In any case, I haven't bought the USB to IR adapter yet, so I can't tell you yet if that worked, but I can promise you that uninstalling and reinstalling won't solve the issue. It will just frustrate you.
My temporary solution (while I buy the dongle) was this:
I uninstalled the latest version of Palm desktop software I had found online (6.2) and installed the same version I used to have in my old laptop (4.1.4).
In the old laptop, I clicked on calendar, export, and saved it in a USB. Same with my to-do list, the memos, the address book, etc. made export files and sent them to a USB. Then imported them on the new laptop.
Now I have all the information, past and present in my new laptop. As soon as I get the adapter and try it out, I'll update this post to let you know if it worked, but at least I can now access all the data on my desktop (even if I cant sync yet).

Synchronisation of Palm M515

Yes it's an old device the Palm M515, and I have two - one never used (it recovered some time after drying out having been dropped in the washing up, by which time I'd bought a new one)!
The first is now looking likely to fail soon, so I have synchronised it with Palm Desktop and hoped to download the diary, address and all other entries to the unused one. It's only 8 years old and in tiptop condition. However since both have different user names, they will only synchronise with their own device information. I've tried to give them the same name, and the system won't accept that.
I can't find any information on how to download information from one device to another on any of the synchronisation information.
