Palm OS 6.2 problem with Categories

I upgraded my Old Palm OS for Windows 4 to Palm OS for Windows 6.2, and everything works fine except for the Category colors in the Datebook/Calendar--every appointment is gray, rather than colored as it was before. Is there some way to change this? It helped in keeping track of the kinds of appointments, and the handheld has retained its colors. Thanks--

Post relates to: Tungsten E2

I have been trying to find a post similar to mine for over an hour ...
I unfortunately misplaced my CD for PalmOne for my Tungsten E2 and now have a new computer.
I loved the version 4.1.4 because the calendar was color coded which helped hugely!
I downloaded version 6.2 and hate it ... no color.
How do I get back to Palm Desktop 4.1.4?
Will I loose all my data that I have already input into the calendar if I go back to this version from 6.2?
Please tell us how to do it ... for this I guess that I would be considered a newby!
Thanks, Pat

Problems with categories

Hey Guys,
I got a strange problem here. I have few categories in my server (XI 3.1) and i got a problem when a user opens a report that is one of this categories and press Save. Doing that the report just loses the category and obviously disappear from the category view.
If the user saves as, then he/she gets the option that allow choosing the category. But if the user press just Save, then this problems happens.
Another aspect, if I log in as Administrator, this problem doesn't happens.
Please, anyone ever got this problem before?
Thanks Guys

Palm treo 680 Problems with hotmail account

I have a palm treo 680, have Problems with hotmail account, dont have configuration in versamail and when enter with the browser dont open documents, photos or videos. Thanks

IIRC, Hotmail is like Yahoo's free email - you have to pay for POP access.
If you aren't paying for a premium version of HotMail, it won't work correctly with VersaMail.

Problems with Repeating Events on Palm and iCal

Hi,
I'm having a problem with daily-repeating events entered into either my Palm or iCal. When I put events in my palm and sync them to iCal, the iCal calendars look right, but then the Palm events become truncated,i.e. only the first day of daily event will be visible. If I do nothing but just sync again, the events in iCal become weirdly duplicated, i.e. if an event had two repeats, the "original" occurrance will be there, along with a second, starting on next day of the series, lasting for the same number of repeats. Is there any way to make one calendar the overwriting calendar while using iSync? Or do you know of some other fix? This problem doesn't seem to affect other repeating events, either monthly or yearly.
Thanks
20" iMac with Intel Mac OS X (10.4.10) 500 GB HD, 2GB RAM 60GB Video iPod

As I just posted in another thread, there are a whole series of 'representation disconnects' between the Palm calendaring application and iCal.
While this article— iSync: About Syncing Recurrent Events Between iCal and Palm OS Based Devices—would lead to you believe that iSync is primarily the issue, it's not: this behavior occurs primarily because of the differences between the calendaring programs in each environment, and only secondarily because of the manner in which records are pushed and pulled by the synchronization framework.
iSync itself is simply another compliant sync client, and there is unfortunately no workaround for the issues delineated in the article.

The date book database not found error message tells me that the Calendar application has not yet be started on your Treo. The first time you start the Calendar application, the database file is created. That error says that the database files, CalendarDB-PAdd has not there to receive data from Outlook's calendar.
As far as I know, unless you are using some kind of middleware, like Intellisync or Verizon's wireless sync software, there isn't anything on the Treo that needs to be configured for this to work out of the box.

hmmm...maybe I should have read farther down. The Verizon Wireless Sync will cause problems with wired/wireless sync's with Outlook's data. I'm on Sprint, so I can't test the connection settings, but the other moderators here and over at Brighthand have dealt with this issue. What I do know, is that there is a sync setting in the Verizon software that needs to be disabled before this will work.

Problem with Picsel Smart Office Palm Pre 2

I bought SmartOffice last weekend, but when I launch this app, the app tells me the licence is not verified in a red screen of death.
I have an unlocked EU Palm Pre2, I use it in Spain. The device is activated with Movistar, but now it is use it with Simyo.
I am extremely disappointed. I wish a solution or a refund. I have problems with NDrive and PDK GPS bug also, and after some months there is not a solution
I cannot waste my money in apps that are not working.
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (Movistar)

Well,
I've solved my problem.
I changed my Sim card with one of the carrier my Pre 2 was activated. Rebooted the Pre2 and then Smart Office was working.
I replaced again, then sim card with my carrier one, and it worked again.
This is a stupid thing, it seems that licenses are checked against carriers, but people change their carriers phone.

Image problem with my palm (J2ME Wireless Toolkit)

Hi,
I did a basic application. I just show an image and it works perfectly with the J2ME Wireless ToolKit.
However, when I create the package, convert it and send it on my palm, everything is ok, except the image. It won't appair.
I get an exception that the image couldn't be found, but when I use the emulator, everything is ok !!!
The image is in the "res" directory, like it was asked in the manual.
I tought that everything is encoded (text file or image file) when you create the package. If it's working with the emulator, why is it not working on my palm?

I had a same problem with my nokia 3650 in J2me the image appears but not on the phone, I think that that is a bug and fixed it this way:
when you make a jar package, unpack package with winRAR or some archive program in some temp directory and in that directory make a res directory an put the image in it, then repack theese files again including the res directory in a new jar file. It works for me. It looks that J2ME in compiling doesn't change the path, to root but leaves the res directory.

Just purchased Wndows Vista and having problems with the port for Palm 125

Thanks,

Sorry, that didn't work. I get no drop down menu from the Hot Sync Manager for the Serial Port. What comes up often is: "The selected port, COM1, is not available at this time. Hot Sync Manager will open the port when it becomes available."
Could it be the Norton Antivirus Firewall that is preventing the Hot Sync Manager to open the Serial Port? Just a thought. Thanks for your help.

Problems with Outlook Calendar syncing with my Palm TX

I have recently started have problems getting my Palm TX to sync with Outlook 2003 Calendar. I don't have any issues with Contacts or Tasks syncing. In the Hot Sync log, I get the following error code "OLERR:03-0024 (0x8000ffff)". Any ideas what causing this?
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Relates to Palm TX but probably applies to other Palm's.
I had same Calendar sync problem but with Outlook 2007 (Win XP). One day I could sync, next I could not. I tried resets, re-installing software, running DbFixIt but nothing worked. I kept getting a log saying "Sync with Calendar had failed."
The solution turned out to be more simple than I imagined. Just make sure you have the Microsoft 2007 patch installed if you are running Office 2007.
Here goes...
Right click on the sync symbol on your PC. Left click on "Custom" from the drop-down menu.
Under the Custom menu, select Calendar (Outlook). On the right side click "Change".
Make sure the button is checked for "Syncronize the files".
Next click on Settings. Decide what you prefer, e.g Handheld wins" in the drop-down menu.
You might also decide you want to sync two computers (e.g. a desktop and a laptop). You will see an option to apply that setting on the same Setting menu.
Click OK. Then you MUST make sure the "Set As Default" box is checked for this to take effect in future.
Finally click "OK".
If you are having the same problem with Contacts, it is the same procedure except you pick Contacts (Outlook) in the Custom menu.
It fixed my Calendar sync problem and everything is back to normal.

Problems with new iTunes categories

My podcast, the Amateur Traveler (http://AmateurTraveler.com) is having a weird problem with the new iTunes categories. Using the new guidelines I changed my two feeds (AAC, MP3) to have this for the category:
<itunes:category text="Society & Culture">
<itunes:category text="Places & Travel" />
</itunes:category>
Currently my podcast shows up as one of the top 100 in "Society & Culture" but does not show up in the top 100 in "Places & Travel". Since that is a subcategory that does not seem possible.
I looked at the feeds of some of the shows that are in the top 100 and they are still using the old category. So I added this to my rss feed.
<itunes:category text="Travel" />
But that does not seem to have fixed the problems.
Ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem, but with "Sports & Rec" for the main category and "Professional" for the subcategory.
I show up in the "Show All" for Sports and Rec, but not at all in "Professional".
I know that our podcast is rated more popular than some podcasts that appear in the Top 100 for professional. We should be appearing ahead of them in that list, but we don't appear at all. Our podcasts have similar names, so if I do a search I can see that our popularity is higher. So why are they in the Top 100 and we aren't
I have my code typed correctly. I don't get it.

Problems with Palm Pro

Hello, Im not sure if this is the right forum, but I'm in desperate need of help. A friend brought me this phone from U.S. but I'm in Ecuador and there are no Palm Service Centers here. Also tried to find a way to contact Treo though email but was unable to.
Me and my husband been trying to figure out some things about how to use the phone for 2 months now and of no effect. It seems like there is a problem with the phone, my husband thinks that its possible that windows have to be reinstalled, is that possible to do?
Some of the problems are that windows live almost never synchronizes on my phone. I've tried installing facebook using all sorts of ways, nothing works. I went to the website and followed directions that said "
On Start, flick left to the App list, tap Settings> Email & accounts. " But I was not able to find "email and accounts" on my phone following these instructions.
I used to have a "lock button" on my phone, but then it just disappeared.
Lately, when I connect the phone to my computer I have to manually locate the Windows Center program whereas before it would pop up automaticallly.
Also I cant figure out what's the deal with the camera, it used to take normal decent size pictures but now they are microscopic in size and I cant find an option on my phone to change picture size. Nor do I understand why all of a sudden it changed in size without my permission....I had to delete all the latest photos because of their ridiculous size.
Another thing I dont get is when I get a call from unknown number and then try to save it on my sim card then only options I get is to save it either to Windows Live or Outlook, in order to save to SIM card I have to go to contacts first and enter the phone manually. What's the deal with that? In addition, some of my saved contacts are not being recognized and when the person calls the number shows as "unknown".
This is by far the most difficult phone I've ever had. I'm not expert in electronics but I dont think this is me, because my husband has been trying to figure out how to use it and he couldnt do anything about it either. He's got Iphone, we both use same phone company and have internet on our phones and he's got no problem with his phone like i do.
Anyone got any ideas what I can do? Please help.

Windows is stored in the phone's ROM. If you "hard reset" the phone (you can get direction in the Support section of this site for Phones > Treo Pro > Unlocked) then your applications, your data, etc. will be erased and the software should be restored to its original condition. But of course, this is a last resort.

Windows Live Hotmail? Are you setting it up as an Exchange ActiveSync account? I haven't tried that myself.
The directions you have for Facebook sound as though they might be for a different device, or a later version of Windows. If you go to http://m.facebook.com/ from your phone, you should get a download link toward the bottom to install the Facebook app. I haven't tried it myself.

If you mean that pressing the red end button doesn't lock the screen any more, you may need to read this thread: Keyguard not engaging anymore

To change the camera resolution, try this: start the camera, aim at something, then press the Up button on the controller. You should get a button bar that lets you increase the resolution. Whether it will become the new default, I don't know.

Can I use Palm Desktop 4.2.1 with Snow Leopard?

I had a Visor Pro, which unfortunately was stolen along with my Mac PowerBook G4. I have ordered a new Mac laptop (MacBook Pro), but I am not going to be able to replace the Visor.
I want to be able to continue using the Palm Desktop application - I had version 4.2.1 for the Mac. I have 10 years of information in that program, I don't know one better and would like to continue to use it, Visor or no Visor.
I have several questions:
Is Palm Desktop Version 4.2.1 for Mac compatible and will run on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard?
If I do a "migration assistant" to move my applications to the new computer from my backup harddrive, will the Palm program move over okay and be useable? Or,---
Do I have to install Palm Desktop from scratch? If so, can I download Palm Desktop from the website - I cannot find a page anywhere on palm.com to download the program. Does anyone have a link?
Or, is the Palm Desktop program that would work with Snow Leopard a different version than the 4.2.1 I have? And if so, how do I upgrade/move my data from 4.2.1 to a newer version?
I don't need to be able to HotSync as I no longer have the Palm device. I just want to be able to use the desktop software.
Thanks for the help,
Tara

Tara,
I could have been you asking a very similar question, although I'm still not sure on the solution after some of the knowledgeable answers.
Like you, I have been using Palm Desktop to store 5 years of information, and I'm getting ready to buy the new iMac who reps tell me is probably not compatible with Palm Software anymore or will not and I should find other alternatives to store all my information.
For instance, I use Palm as my date book and To Do List which I find very convenient. Apple reps told me I could try getting used to iCal for this which I have been doing lately to try & get used to it.
Then there are my addresses. I also use Palm to store all my basic addresses (some with E-mail, some without). It was recommended to me to just use the address book that comes with the iMac. I've never used it but I can see in itself, it's easy to add addresses. My computer consultant also told me that she could easily transfer the addresses from those on Palm to my Thunderbird which I use with Firefox. So, if all my addresses were transferred from my Palm to Thunderbird, then I would just have them on Thunderbird, but I find it easier navigating them in Palm.
The last thing I use Palm for and the most important is under the menu of "Memos". For each category, I have created an alphabetized subject, like computers, legal, passwords, shopping (about 30 topics) and when I want to save important information, I go to that category and write as much or as little as a reference. I wondered "which" application I would use in order to create a similar way of looking up information on subjects.
I copied/pasted it all into a simple word document but that's not really made for what I want.
The last time I went to an Apple store and explained what I wanted -- they were the ones who suggested to use iMac addresses to store my Palm addresses, iCal to use as a new calendar and to do list, and finally an application (on the dock) called "E-mail" where I could do a similar thing as I did on my Palm by creating a series of categories, and when I click on it, a memo page comes up where I can type anything I want to related to that topic. It was demonstrated to me, altho I forgot how she did it, but although it was not meant for a function like that, it's easily done as with the Palm. I told my computer consultant this.
She was concerned that I may not be able to use my Thunderbird G-mail system if I have all my info in iMac applications. Yet if the addresses are in Thunderbird as well, I can't see why that would interfer.
Anyway, today she sent me this link & question and I start reading about a "sync" application and I would have no problem. They also mentioned software called Benno, but told me to try and use Apple apps first instead of having to go out and buy a whole new application to replace the functions of Palm.
Ideally, I would love to continue to use Palm Desktop as I'm using it on this desktop, but I'm not clear if I can. If I can't, what might be my best solution given what I wrote. I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Trudijane

Problem with calculated column, everything inc. NULLs appear

Good morning,
This one is tough.
I have a dimension Category (with categories: Fruits, Vegies, Canned, etc.). And in my fact table I have field Expense. Then I decided to create calculated fields like "Fruits Expense" -
CASE WHEN Dim."Category" = 'Fruits' THEN Fact.Expenses "."Expenses $ CY" END
There're 2 problems:
A) if the field Category isn't dropped in Answers there're many NULLS (all Exp values which don't belong to 'Fruits')
B) If Category isn't there, there're even more NULLs - which don't look good at all - there're too many empty values
Of course, it's possible to train users to use filters (is not null), etc. - but then it's really not what OBIEE is good at.
Can someone suggest a better approach?
I proposed in the beggining to create fields in the DB like "Expense Fruits" - but ut was deemed too complicated on ETL side.
Thank you and have a wonderful OBIEE day
UPD: OK, I want to rephrase it and make it easier. Except for using "is not null" filter- is there any other way to supress NULL values? I'm getting 12 empty ones and 1 i need. Is there anything I could do in order to supress showing NULL values by default. Thanks
