Palm T/X and Windows 7

I am not a complete computer novice, but I am getting really frustated and confused regarding the following: Up to now I have synced my Palm T/X via cradle with my Windows XP PC (using 4.2.) Now I purchased a new PC with Windows 7, which does not support USB connection/cradle/connection. I installed the "new" Palm™ Desktop by ACCESS Application 6.2 (which of course does not have all the features of the "old" version), however, I can't get to connect the T/X via either Bluetooth (Windows 7 does not "discover" the Palm) or WiFI. Maybe it is because the Palm™ Desktop by ACCESS Application HotSync manager does not evidence bluetooth as a connection choice. WiFi apparently does not work since the security protocols of my router and of the Palm are different. I have to find solutions on the internet, but getting more confused by the minute. Could someone let me know whether this would work: I have a Linksys by Cisco router, which only has ethernet ports. Is it possible to use a USB to ethernet cable to connect my Palm to WiFi, i.e. would it show up as a device, and could I sync that way? Or alternatively, does anyone have step by step list how to get my Windows 7 computer to recognize my Palm? Thanks.

  • Palm Zire M150 and Windows 7 64-bit

    This worked fine with Windows 7 32-bit, but not on Win 7 64-bit.
    Then I found this thread:
     http://forums.hpwebos.com/t5/Windows-HotSync/64-Bit-Palm-Desktop-Drivers-are-HERE/m-p/337516/message...
    I followed the instructions exactly, including the bit in message 6 about allowing Device Manager to show hidden devices.
    I was then able to do the hot sync with my device using the USB cable (the computer has BlueTooth but not IR; the Palm has IR but not Bluetooth; both have the USB connection), without any data in the Palm desktop directory - just doing the hotsync from the device.  It appeared to work okay, but unfortunately, it took out half my address book (including my entire family) and a lot of other data.
    Fortunately, I had saved the data directory elsewhere.  So I merged it with the newly-created data directory.  The device gave a message to click on a button to reset the device, which I did, and - voila! - all my data was there, both on the desktop and on the device.   I made a small change on the device and hotsync'd it again, and it worked fine.
    I'm new here and this is my first post; so if I goofed anything up, somebody please clue me in.

  • Warning: Palm OS Treos and Windows Small Business Server 2008

    If you use a Treo smartphone with the Palm operating system, beware:  it does not work with Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2008.
    Palm acknowledges this failure and has no intention of fixing it. 
    There are at least two problems:
    (1) You must turn off all email security on the Exchange mail server to sync with Treos.
    (2) AutoSync locks up the Palm each time it occurs, and must be turned off.
    Here's the transcript of my chat w/tech support. After this, I spent a few hours on the phone and got the same answers.
    [12:35 AM] Gary says: Hello.
    [12:35 AM] Handoff connection active (1/5140).
    [12:35 AM] x says: Hi. Please see the question sent earlier.
    [12:36 AM] Gary says: Could you please be more specific about the issue?
    [12:37 AM] x says: Our Palms will not talk to Exchange Server 2007 unless all its security
    features are turned off. This is a problem with Palm/VersaMail. When will it be corrected?
    [12:38 AM] Gary says: Yes, that is true. I am sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.
    [12:38 AM] Gary says: I am very sorry to inform you that currently we do not have any information on this.
    [12:39 AM] x says: Apology accepted and appreciated. But when will this be fixed?
    [12:40 AM] Gary says: Unfortunately we do not have any sort of update on this. I suggest you to post the
    feedback in the Palm Website.
    [12:41 AM] x says: Okay, next question:  Every AutoSync locks up the Palm, so we have to turn
    AutoSync off. Do you intend to rectify this problem?
    [12:42 AM] Gary says: I understand your concern. Is it happening with all the Palm devices?
    [12:42 AM] x says: Yes.
    [12:43 AM] Gary says: Do you receive any error message before locking up the Treo?
    [12:43 AM] x says: No.
    [12:46 AM] Gary says: Okay, as this happening with all the devices to me it looks like the issue should be
    diagnosed closely to find the root cause. Was this happening with the Exchange Sever 2003?
    [12:46 AM] x says: No
    [12:46 AM] Gary says: So, the AutoSync feature is Locking the device from the day you upgraded to the
    Exchange Sever 2007.
    [12:46 AM] Gary says: Am I correct?
    [12:47 AM] x says: yes.
    [12:48 AM] Gary says: Okay, as this is the issue related to the sync with the Exchange Server 2007 and the
    AutoSync to find out the root cause I will escalate this issue to our escalation channel which is our Voice
    Support Team.
    [12:48 AM] Gary says:
    I will provide you all the information and guide you in the correct direction to address this issue.
    [12:48 AM] Gary says:
    I suggest you to get in touch with the Voice Support and I am sure they will fix the issue.
    [12:49 AM] Gary says:
    I will provide you a Service Request, when contacting the Voice Support, provide this Service Request Id and you will get a free Technical Support.
    [12:51 AM] Gary says: Please provide me your Last name, First name, complete address, phone number,Email address, date and place of purchase of device and serial number of the device to create a Service Request Number.
    [12:51 AM] x says: Of course I provided all this when I logged in, but here it is again:....
    [12:54 AM] Gary says: Thank you for providing all the information.I need 5 minutes to register the device and create a Service Request.
    [12:55 AM] x says: Thanks for your help, and confirmation of the incomprehensible failure to support Exchange Server 2007.  We're this close to dumping these things if this is the kind of tech support Palm intends to provide.
    [1:00 AM] Gary says: Thanks for staying on hold: I am sorry for the delay. I can understand the inconvenience you are facing.

  • HotSincing the Palm Z22 in 64 bit Vista (and Windows 7)

    There has been much discussion on not being able to Sync the Z22 under 64-bit Windows Vista or 7, using a USB cable. I have found a solution that so far has worked just fine for me.
    Quoting from the website:
    "Create an XP Mode for Windows 7 Home Versions & Vista. One of the cool features in Windows 7 is XP Mode. However, it’s only available for Windows 7 Professional and above, leaving Home Edition and Vista users out of luck. Today we’ll show you how to create your own XP Mode to run on Vista or Windows 7 Home Premium. Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows Vista are not licensed to run the free XP Mode download from Microsoft. However, if you have a legal copy of Windows XP, then you can easily recreate XP Mode with the free VMware Player.  This article will show you how quick and easy it is to get a virtual copy of XP running on any computer, even if it’s running 7 Home Premium or Windows Vista."
    I installed the Palm Desktop v 6.2.2 and SplashPhoto Desktop v 5.03; the work just as they did on my 8 year old laptop with XP
    Here's a link to the article. I hope it works for you.

  • 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!
    Post relates to: Palm m505

    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.

    Do you have windows mobile device center installed(WMDC)? If not download it from here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
    Be sure you download the correct version for your PC. If you have 32bit OS or 64bit OS. To find this out, right click on Computer under start and select properties. Near the middle it should say 32bit or 64bit. If you know you have the correct software. Open up the control panel and go to sync settings. Right click on the partnership you have setup and select delete. On your device go to Start-->Programs-->Activesync-->Menu-->Options tap on Windows PC and select Delete. Then once both are done resetup your partnership. But this time uncheck everything. Then once it is done syncing. Go to Mobile device settings and change content sync settings and select Contact. Click save and let it sync. Do the same for calendar, tasks, and notes but leave the last item checked. So when Contacts are done syncing you go and check Calendar and leave Contacts

  • Centro will not sync with Palm desktop - Calendar and/or Contacts

    I have used a Palm device for many years. Acquired a new Centro. Upon installation of Palm Desktop (on Windows XP) that came with Centro, all contacts, calendar, to do, memos, etc transferred to the Centro during installation. 
    Subsequent changes to contacts and/or calendar on Centro are not syncing with Palm desktop when Hot Sync is performed. Hot Sync starts and appears to complete normally. To Do list and memos appear to sync just fine. Have tried changing conduits to have Centro overwrite desktop. Have uninstalled/reinstalled Desktop many times.

    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    I have a Centro/Verizon Wireless using Versamail with accounts established for personal POP and Exchange e-mail synchronization.  The latter account is for work.  Previously I owned a Treo 650p using Versamail. 
    When I first installed Palm OS Desktop and synched to my Centro device, it was on a Windows XP home computer, and no Versamail accounts were defined.  First I downloaded and installed the Versamail version which allowed Exchange synchronization.  I exported the Treo650p contacts list to a disk file, and imported it onto the Windows XP home computer into the Palm OS Desktop installed with the Centro-supplied CD.  This synched the imported contacts list to the Centro fine.  After I defined all the POP and Exchange accounts, synchronization with the office Exchange contacts list worked fine, and still does.  Synchronization with the windows XP home computer for contacts seems to still be ok, too regardless of the MS Exchange Versamail account commingling with my personal POP accounts.  Maybe the install sequence is overriding the previous posts' notation that MS Exchange mail definition will override synch with Palm OS Desktop?
    The problem now is I have a different/second home computer that's Vista os.  I installed the Palm OS Desktop and synch with the Treo.  The contacts list is not synching to this second home computer, maybe because I didn't follow the exact same sequence as for the Windows XP pc?  I can still synch my Centro with my Windows XP pc and that includes contacts.
    Is there a way on this second pc to override the MS Exchange contacts override for synchronization without having to go through the exact same install sequence as occurred on the Windows XP machine?

  • Just 'upgraded' to Windows Phone 7, now my contacts can't synch from the PC, and Windows Live has a 500KB limit? Is there a way around this nightmare??

    For years I was happily plugging in my Palm Treo Pro, and having my contacts and calendar synch with my PC, WITHOUT the need for that information to be stored on the cloud, where anyone could get at it. When that died recently, I bought a used Windows 7
    phone.
    So far, it sucks. And it's not the phone that's the problem.
    My main issue is that I have diligently exported my (over 5000) contacts from Outlook as a CSV file, and went to import them into Windows Live, only to discover that there's a 500KB limit. That's somewhere around 500 contacts.
    ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? You really need me to set up 10 different files, to import stuff onto the cloud? 
    Please tell me there is a way around this limit, or (better yet) a way to synch directly with my PC, so I can avoid this whole Windows Live disaster?? I want to use Outlook. It's a Microsoft product! 
    Please help!

    Hi,
    I'm not sure about the Microsoft Account Contact limit, for this issue, you may post the question to Microsoft Community:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com
    If you still have the contacts in your Outlook Client, I suggest you setup the Microsoft Account(Windows Live) in Outlook via Exchange ActiveSync, then move the contacts to the contacts folder of the Microsoft Account, let it sync, then all will be done,
    you don't have to export and import the .csv file any more.

  • Palm Quick Install in Windows 7

        OK I have posted that you can use the Palm desktop 4 versions on windows 7 and they work. They do but the only way to load a file was to right click on it and chose send to / Palm Powered (TM) Handheld. I decided to see if I could make everything work normally. I managed to accomplish it. I did not need to hack the registry either. The first problem was getting the Palm Quick Install icon to show up on the desktop and then open up the program. When I loaded the TX software on two other computers it did not load with the Palm Desktop and DTG icons.
    1: I went to start/all programs/palm folder/ and right clicked on the Palm Quick Install and sent it to the desktop. It went there but would not open on one of the computers. I tried a couple of times. I then right clicked on the icon and choose Restore Previous Versions. I chose the compatibility tab and selected the help me choose the settings. I did this several times and also rebooted the computer and unchecked the open with administrator in properties. I was finally rewarded with the Palm Quick install opening up when I clicked on it.
    2. Clicking on a palm file or dragging it into the Palm Quick install application had no effect. A warning came up stating (There was a problem sending the command to the program.) I plugged this into Google and came up with several sites. There is in Vista and 7 a file association of some sort missing. I was reading on how to hack into the registry and really did not want to waste any more time on it. I was about to give up when I decided to attempt a Microsoft solution. They have all kinds of fixit registry programs for all kinds of tasks. I typed in Microsoft file type fixit in Google. They have a little program that scans your system and then gives you several choices to select. I selected them all when the choice came up. When it finished I exited out of the web page and clicked on a palm file. It worked. I deleted the file and attempted to drag it into the Palm Quick Install this also worked. File and Folder fixit

    AFAIK, there is no such version - 6.2.2 is the latest Access made before ceasing support for the program.
    MicroSoft has had a typo on their support site for a long time now.  Is this the version number you are referring to?

  • Vital webOS limitation​s Palm must fix and my "wish list" for software developers

    I have now updated following many many times, in my free Best Buy guide - Vantage Technology Magazine - so it's time to post an update here... Just as I done in PreCentral ;-)
    WebOS is now the clearly best alternative, for most people - but the Personal Information Management functionality, got a lot worse since the "old" Palm OS and that is a huge problem, because a really smart PIM suite with excellent ToDo and calender functions, can really improve your life and that make it the most valuable part of a smartphone, if it work great... And if Palm finally begin to fix this limitations, can they also advertise "We make the best mobile OS even better" each time they update and not just use the updates as bug fixes...
    Then do I live in Sweden and we don't got the Palm Pre yet - so I could not test anything myself and that mean that some details below might be wrong or already fixed... So please email me - [email protected] - if something need adjustment... And that also mean that I maybe missed some more problems, that was very hard or impossible to see in screen shots and reviews... And I will actually not buy any device with webOS before most of the first 8 limitations below, are fixed either by Palm or someone else - because I simply don't want to pay for clearly worse functionality, than I already have with my "old" lovely Palm Treo 680!!
    I read that many share my views, about following problems - but PLEASE comment this post anyhow, if you feel the same about ANY part... So Palm finally wake up, understand that people actually are very different (with dramatically different needs) and simply give us the vital options / settings, that only will make webOS dramatically better for heavy users and absolutely NOT make anything less fancy, if they simply let the current "look" be the default setting... Type Palm will only win, if they make "the best mobile OS" even better!!
    01) There is still no complete desktop sync for every important Personal Information Management part, as ToDo lists with categories... Except if you are connected to an Exchange server... You can only back up automatically to Palm's servers, but without any option to edit your own text from your notebook... So complete desktop sync should actually be included in the box, as an alternative and offer sync through both USB and Wifi, plus maybe Bluetooth... And naturally include some kind of desktop application, so you can save and edit the calendar and tasks in your notebook... Now must you first buy MS Outlook (if you not have that) and a third party sync program, that not even handle ToDo lists... But palm have at least a migration tool, that help you move all your data (one way only) from an old Palm device and Palm desktop (or MS Outlook) to a new pre...
    02) There is a lot of "elegant" waste of screen space and very BIG fonts, in almost every basic view... That should naturally be an option, because and absolutely not a default setting, you can't even change... Because most people need just 33% more space, to max 50% more if you have huge finger tips, for accurate finger navigation (compared to a stylus) and NOT more than twice the space, to show the same text info... They should at least offer two extra alternative settings - that show two or three times as much info (at every view that now use huge fonts) and that would anyhow be easy to navigate with your fingertips... Yes, the events have now small text in the calender (that not should get smaller) and many may love the new spacious design, with a lot of empty space and huge fonts... But there should naturally be some alternative setting - for everyone that have normal finger tips, a lot of info in the smartphone and don't want to scroll like crazy.... And it's especially very easy to miss vital info, if you can't see it directly, as in Tasks and Contacts... So I sincerely hope it soon will be possible to "tighten" up all the new empty space between text lines and at least select smaller fonts (naturally together with less empty space around the letters) in the settings... And the absolute best would be if you can select that options separately for the tasks, contacts, email, calendar and messaging... And then choose between four text sizes, with the current as 4 with a bit bigger text for calendar events and "modern" or roman fonts... Because if some tightening NOT is possible, will the the bigger screen only be useful for web browsing and that would be very very sad... Yes, you can now only see HALF the info in Tasks (without scrolling or missing vital stuff) even if the screen is much bigger, than I can see directly in my "old" Palm Treo 680 and that vital missing option, would make Palm Pre practically useless for me!!
    03) The included Task application seems to be almost worthless, because of five big usability limitations... -1- You can't see if there is an "extra note page" connected to the task... -2- It don't show the priority either... -3- You can now only select 3 priority levels (just as in Windows mobile and Symbian) even if it was 5 levels before... -4- The huge fonts and plenty of empty space around the text, make it only possible to view 6 task without scrolling, instead of the 11 task that I can view on the much smaller Treo 680 screen and that is almost insane, when a simple setting / option could allow 12 task in Pre, with clearly more empty space around the text (for easy finger navigation) than before... -5- Then will task only sync with Exchange servers (if you have that) but not with Google, as example... But the lousy task management, can of course be fixed soon by Palm or in good time, with extra programs... And it support at least "multiple todo lists" as categories, so it work slightly better than simple Nokia smartphones... Then can you anyhow use the old PalmOS task application (that not have any of this limitations) with help of the amazing "Classic" emulator, instead of the crippled webOS version!!
    04) The last BIG problem I found, was the fact that webOS not support any categories (as friends, biz, service and shops) in the contacts application any more - which are very bad news, if you have about 200 contacts and extremely inconvenient for people with a lot more than 600 contacts... Note that otherwise is webOS contact application clearly more advanced than before... And I expect there will be some even more advanced contact applications, with category functionality, pretty soon - even if that naturally should be included by Palm, from the start... Then can you actually use the old PalmOS contact application (that not have this limitation) with help of the amazing "Classic" emulator, instead of the otherwise great webOS version!!
    05) In the calendar should you also be able to remove the fancy "empty time holder" completely, to free up even more space for real calender info!!
    06) The "date picker" that help you select another day for an entry in the calendar, should naturally show a mini calendar (with dated and weekdays) as it was before and not just let you select days from a list, guessing what weekday that might be!!
    07) The "universal" search don't search in the Calendar, any documents, in the message part of emails or Tasks* and that is very strange - it should at least be a two step search, with a "Search deeper in Pre" option, before Pre offer you to search in Google... Or even get a finer possibility, to select where the Pre normally should search... * But you can search Task, if you are inside.
    08) There is no longer any "scroll bar" that show where you are, not even as an option and it should be a slim transparent indicator, that also show how big the actual view is of the total page.
    09) Then do I also want the magnificent "floating event" functionality (at least in a third party application) that I now have in DateBk6 so you can show vital events that should be done today, in the calender and get them automatically moved to next day, every new day... But before you get this in a webOS application, can you use DateBk6 (made for the old PalmOS) that have this great functionality, with help of the amazing "Classic" emulator!!
    10) The pretty "Memo" application is pointless (just as before) when you anyhow have Task and Calender... And it is not possible to sync, so what you really need is a good plain text editor - that is easy to back up and open from your notebook, rock solid, ultra fast, has smart search & replace and handle minimum 144 huge text documents, in 12 folders... Including at least txt, html and hopefully some other file types... I sincerely hope (and guess) that someone will make a fine text editor, because a true Word document editor IS a lot more clumsy and slower to use, in a smartphone... But you can probably use the excellent old PalmOS application CardTXT that have the text functionality you may need and more, with help of the amazing "Classic" emulator!!
    11) There is no multiple email management, so you have to delete or move each email separately and that should naturally be fixed... Even if you (maybe) can do that in Google email or outlook, instead? * And you can now "delete all" in the trash folder!
    12) You can't change the alert sound for texts and emails!
    13) Then is the new program launcher, rather limited... You get only three windows, without any helpful category names - like main, games, web favo, friends, settings and extra - you get only a simple I to III style indicator at bottom... But you will probably be able to buy a more advanced launcher, soon... And you can temporary put your 12 main programs (that not is on the quick bar) on the first page, web favo's plus settings on the second and everything else on the last page... But there is now a free "patch" at www.precentral.net that add extra pages and two more, that show 4 or 5 icons on each row... And you can in addition use the old PalmOS application manager (that not have this limitations) for any excellent "old" programs, with help of the amazing "Classic" emulator!
    14) Pre shuts down the phone, when you connect it as a USB drive and you have to enter your PIN to get back online.... Yes, that is one thing that even iPhone handle better.
    15) You use right or left swiping to view another day and the same method to view another week, in that view... But you must swipe up and down in month view and that's just dumb!!
    16) Some part of the ultra smart "Synergy" integration give you also trouble, because if you include your Facebook account will everyone you "know" there (you can't just select a few) be saved as contacts and that may result in ton's of contacts, you don't want in your smartphone - but it will probably come some extra program that "filter" that later and the other new "Synergy" contacts functionality, work like magic.
    17) Then does copy & paste not work in IM or SMS messages, but that should be very easy to fix... ** But copy & paste (of text) work now in both emails and web pages, plus many many other places!
    18) You can't change how many "message lines" you can see in the email preview.
    19) Pre work normally very fast, but there is a delay when you open new programs and no "hourglass" so you might sometimes wonder if something happen, the first times you open a heavy program... But I don't know if that really need a fix or just some getting use to?!
    20) Then might the ring signal be too quiet, but only according to 1 of 9 reviewers and another one say it's loud enough... And the alarm clock use now the ringtone volume, so it should be fine... Even if the alarm clock naturally have a separate volume!!
    This replace naturally my old version, that I did post here over one year ago!

    One alternative to the Tasks application is Outline Tracker which has knobs to open items with content text, and multiple projects, which should fill your need for multiple to-do lists.   It does not currently have priorities, though.

  • Need Palm Bluetooth Drivers For Windows 7 64 Bit

    Hi,
    I am a long time Palm Pilot user and I have been there through all the trials and tribulations.  I have just bought a new computer running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit edition and I am trying to find the drivers for Bluetooth sync.
    I am using a Palm Tungsten E2 and the Palm OS 6.2 and with the computer I am currently using (Windows 7 Home Premuim 64-Bit)  I sync via Bluetooth and never had any problems and want to keep it that way.
    WyreNut and several members did a lot of work when Windows 7 first came out and helped a lot fo people with synch issues.  I have searched the Forums and cannot find a link to where I can download the Bluetooth drivers so I can synch my Palm Pilot via Bluetooth to my new computer.
    If someone could kindly point me to where I can get the Bluetooth drivers I will be grateful.  Thanks so much.

    Hi, please clarify as it sounds like both your old and new computers are the same OS.
    As you know, the E2 has Bluetooth built-in.  There are no Bluetooth drivers to download.
