Palm treo 800w keeps syncing way too long

I have had three of these phones so far. It seems pop and exchange sync accts can be set up and work, then after about 2-3 months the phone goes crazy. It wants to exchange sync continuously. Totally eats the battery(even ext. life). All schedule parameters are set: tried sync manually -not work. sync every 1-2 hours-not work, etc. Tried to delete the exhange sync acct. and start over, but when hit email button, acct. picker shows the exchange acct., but the delete feature is grayed out. why?? So, opened activesync program exposed the sync option tree(which has microsoft exchange at the top, then cal, tasks, email, etc. listed under it), highlighted microsoft exchange, and got an option to delete, and deleted it there. Now exchange sync acct. is not listed on the phone. So, followed Palm's directions to add an EAS Outlook Account, manually put in all parameters, and the phone by itself starts to sync the folders, etc. Problem is it syncs and syncs and syncs, etc. showing tasks done, email done, contacts done, but when doing the calendar, it starts with some numbers like, 591/594(downloading) and it looks like it is working, but more fractions keep appearing going all the way up to 12,000 and it is still syncing(left it all night). What is going on here??? Thanks for input. I have gone through 3 phones in 8 months. I am fearing the 1 year is nearing and this phone will never be predictilbly functional. Thanks for this posting area, am at wits end.

Have you imposed a limit on your calendar sync, e.g., 3 months or 6 months?
(One of my favorite things about my old Treo 650 was the 4 years to calendar entries, so I could accurately answer questions like, "when was the last time we did X." However, the mixing of my work and personal calendars has made this impractical. )

Palm Treo 800W -- Ringtones too quiet! It's never as loud as the preview when selecting the ringtone...?

I have a Palm Treo 800W and I am required to keep it on vibrate the whole time because the sound of the vibrate is louder then the actual ringtone, even when I have the devices volume turned up to the max. When I go in to select a ringtone and preview it, it's very loud. Loud enough to be functional, but yet when I receive a phone call I can't hear my phone ringing since the ring tone is so quite.
I tried a soft reset because I thought that might be the problem but that still didn't fix the problem. Every other tone works fine, such as text message notification, or email notification, etc... but the ringtone for 'known' and 'unknown caller' is just too quite to be functional. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thank you

Don't know if comfortable with editing your registry... I found a RegEdit out there to modify your ring vol that works really well. A word of warning, if you are going to attempt: A>don't modify registry unless you are willing to live with consequences B>use 3 as your vol setting if you don't want to wear out your speaker or hear distorted sound.

When I enter TM, to rebuild a mail box for a specific day, it takes WAY TOO LONG! My mistake was keeping over 16000 emails from the years I have been using TM. Is there a solution to help solve this? I cleaned out my existing mailbox but its too late.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciate.

HotSync connection issue with Palm Treo 800w Sprint work around Solved !!!

I just switched from my Treo Palm Treo 755p to the The Palm Treo 800w. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why though everything was connected via USB. The Microsoft ActiveSync would work once or twice then nothing . Though I knew it was connected the charge wouldn't work either.
Here is my work around and it never fails.
If you see the Red light or Green light on your phone while connected Via the USB that means you are connected you can sync and charge.
If you don't see the red/green light on or see the phone in My computer > Mobile devices.
Plug your phone in via the USB. While it's plugged in take the battery out . Then put the battery back in. You know you are good when you see the red light or green light turn on. Red light means charging Green light means its fully charged.
I have connected every time using the take out the battery method and my Treo 800w charges / Microsoft syncs the works!!
Hope this helps I tried everything before I figured this out.

It's taking way too long for my messages to load.

Starting on Tuesday this week (10/14) it is taking way too long for my messages to load from my Gmail account. Once the message finally shows up in the Inbox, it's taking up to 10-15 min for the message to load where I can actually view the message. I'm going to have to move to another email application if this can't be resolved which is very unfortunate as I've enjoyed using Thunderbird up until now.

I guess I'm at least happy to know it's not just me. I've had to abandon Thunderbird for now. I guess I'll keep an eye out for future updates.

ITunes sync takes too long, need overhaul

7 stages to sync an iPhone or iPad and only when is #7's progress bar fully complete and there is a looooooonnnnnnng wait does it start to copy photos, movies & music.
Is Apple taking lessons from Windows on how a progress bar is supposed to work?
I write this as I wait for some sign the phone is actually having media copied to it. I have restarted my phone, iTunes and the computer. No matter what it refuses to budge beyond 7 of 7.
I’m on a fully loaded 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon.
I’ve owned an iPhone 3, 4,4s,5, 5s and now a iPhone 6.
Since the very beginning, no matter what I do the syncing takes (IMHO) way too long and the visual feedback is very badly designed.
I’m no expert but I’d like to think that maybe there should be 8 or 10 stages where the copying of various media is indicated and the progress bar is indicative of the whole progress.

Applefish...
I agree! I have three Airport Extremes, ultimate cable modem download steaming, and Apple TV, AND IT STILL TAKES LONGER TO LOAD THAN THE MOVIE ITSELF!!! Apple needs to pay attention to its technology advancements and less about its PC gender politics. We all respect equality, but we deserve equality of quality and Apple TV and iTunes is radically under performing.
All I wanted to do was enjoy a movie via iTunes and Apple TV...so I purchased "The Book Thief" via iTunes store...and more than two hours later... guess what...no movie... thanks for a virtually wasted evening Apple... I want my $14.99 back.
BTW, I have purchased two iMAC 27" i7 computers, an iPhone 6, an iPhone 5S, and two MacBook Air laptops, and an iPad Air 2 - 128 GB (to go with the other 5 iPads I already own)...all within the past 9 months. Today I bought a 15" MacBook Pro... so don't tell me I'm not up to my ears in Apple...
It's time to fix this Apple TV / iTunes loading issue. God delivered the 10 commandments in stone in less time...

Installing OS X on a new hard drive taking way too long?

I switched out my old 250 GB hard drive that shipped with my MacBook Pro for a new 640 GB WesternDigit drive. I'm trying to use a Mavericks installer USB to install on my newly formatted hard drive, but it's taking way too long - I mean, I left it going overnight (about 7.5 hours), and when I came down, it wasn't even half done. Is there anything I can do here? I'd like to use my laptop. Thank you very much for any suggestions.

Do you have a internet connection? Even with a USB installer that if good and functioning properly you need an internet connection to Authenticate the install with your Apple ID.
If your old drive is still functioning you can connect it to your Mac with a SATA to USB adapter and use the Recovery HD on that original drive to reinstall Mavericks on the new drive.
If the drive is no longer functioning and you have no way of getting to the Apple internet download for Mavericks then you will need to start with an install of the original version of OS X that came on your Mac when new then update and or upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then use the Mac App Store to reinstall Mavericks. There is not other way to do this. So save yourself some time and trouble and start fresh.
If your original drive is still functioning and it had Mavericks installed on it you can also CLONE that drive to the new one once you connect it to your mac with some type of SATA to USB adapter or enclosure.
If the Mavericks USB installer you have was made from a Mac that came with Mavericks pre-installed on it that will not work on your Mac.

I've stuck with Entourage way too long. Now I don't dare install the Mavericks OS because all my Entourage files will go away. And my iMac won't open Mac Mail (probably because I've never opened it in the 5 - 6 years I've owned the Mac.) Any suggestions?

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.

Time machine backups take way too long

Greetings,
Having trouble with Time Machine backups taking way too long. (No, it's not the first backup after some momentous event, as 90% of what I read about slow backups mentions; it's _every_ backup.)
20" iMac purchased Oct 2008. OS 10.6.8. 500 GB internal hard drive. 3 TB external backup drive. Was tested at the local "Genius" Bar, but they found nothing wrong with it. The best they could do is to recommend a restore from Time Machine, and if that didn't work, start clean and reload the OS and then copy my stuff back. I don't think so. I actually did a full Time Machine restore for a different reason, and it didn't help (except that I gained a few GB of disk space!).
My Time Machine backups now take about 39 minutes to complete. I have a 500 GB internal drive and this problem happens regardless of which external drive I use. (I have 3: 2 WD hard drives and one [noisy!] G-drive.) My current backup drive is a 3 TB WD drive with 2 TB of free space.
These are small incremental backups, typically about 35 MB. It doesn't take half an hour to copy 35 MB!
All phases take a long time, but the most irritating one is where TM appears to get stuck for a long time at the beginning and end of the copying phase. For example, at one point it will say something along the lines of Backing Up 7 KB of 34.4 MB. And it'll be like that for minutes on end. Later it will say something like 35 MB of 35 MB and hang there for minutes on end. During these periods the write I/O rate will go up and down, and CPU usage will often be very high (with backupd using 90 - 100%, in addition to highly elevated System CPU usage). In one particular backup the I/O write rate for one part of it looked like a heartbeat on an EKG! I should have taken a screenshot.
At the beginning during the Calculating Changes phase, backupd is using between 90 and 100% CPU.
There is also high CPU usage during the next phase, Preparing. And the number of items being prepared is in the thousands.
It always goes in two rounds because it finds that the root directory (/) has been modified.
I've Googled and searched Mac forums and found nothing useful. I started with a new .plist file and nothing's changed.
Can anyone help? Thanks!
I wrote the above Jun 28. Yeah, finally getting around to posting it. Since then it's gotten worse. I now do a manual backup once a day and it takes almost an hour. I tried re-indexing Spotlight. No good.
Can anyone help? Again, this is not a "first backup." It is _every_ backup.
Thanks!

Thanks for your efforts. Here are my answers, comments, and further info:
I believe I have repaired permissions on my drive as part of my troubleshooting. And I'm sure I checked SMART status, which came up with a thumbs up, so to speak. I'm trying again. I don't see any useful messages in any logs on the console. I'm looking at "All Messages" and there is so far nothing useful. Oh, I think you must mean repair as in "Repair Disk," not "Repair Disk Permissions." I believe the "genius" at the Apple store did that or something just as good. The machine checked out fine according to them.
Checked SMART status just now: passed. Ran Quick Drive Test: also passed.
Oh, I installed "Time Machine Buddy". Occasionally, and only occasionally, I get a "deep traversal needed message" like this (I copied this from .Backup.log):
Running preflight for "Macintosh HD" (mount: '/' fsUUID: BF606E9A-5FD0-3B92-8D76-33DC63E7B2B1 eventDBUUID: 30DD929D-8982-46C2-BAE6-F0BD1E73916A)

But the vast majority of the time I do NOT get this message. But if there's something wrong with this apdb file, what can I do to fix it?
Note that there is usually, if not always, a lot of CPU activity or I/O (disk) activity, but not a lot getting done.

Quicktime Conversion Export Takes Way Too Long

I am using FCE2.
I have a 28-minute project that I am trying to export to a quicktime movie. (h.264 640x480 29.97FPS)
Every time I export, it takes 6 hours to complete! When I play it back, the quality is bad. It skips like there are not enough FPS.
I have tried adjusting the compression, size, FPS everything...but it just doesn't come out right. I have the latest versions of quicktime pro, and FCE2.
Something is wrong. Isn't 6 hours way too long? My computer gets real hot and the fan is constantly on while it's crunching.
What do I need to change? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Ah I think I figured it out.
I did another test project with the same source DV file, but didn't do ANY editing to it.
It took 2 minutes to export a 70mb reference mov file from a 7 minute DV sequence.
Then I cropped & resized the sequence by changing parameters in the "motion" tab.
Then it took 20 minutes to export a much larger reference mov file from the same 7 minute DV sequence.
Then I clicked "render all" after selecting every render option in the drop-down menu.
Then it took less than 1 minute to export a 70mb reference mov file from the same 7 minute DV sequence.
So I guess I was having problems because I didn't render "everything", because I didn't select "FULL" on the drop-down menu for rendering. I thought only RED segments in the timeline needs to be rendered prior to export, but apparently the "FULL" render must be selected as well so that the entire timeline is nice and purple. (or some shade of blue)
Also, a cropped and resized video is very large in size (GB) if it is exported as a reference file only without prior rendering. * Can someone else confirm that this is the normal behavior in FCE? *
Oh well, lesson learned.. This movie is going to take a very long time to export, and result in a very large file. But I can't use it without cropping & resizing it!

2LIS_03_UM Running way too long in BWQ Quality environment- ideas

Hi, I am initializing my Materials and everything has gone fine except that I have some UM Valuations taking way too long.
1. 2LIS_03_BX - 15 Minutes
2. 2LIS_03_BF - 45 Minutes for 1 Year of transactions took
3. 2LIS_03_UM - 7 Parallel Jobs 1 for each plant
All UM's were under 45 min except for 2 plants. Plant 2000 just finished in 8.5 hours and Plant 1000 is still running for over 10 hours. I verified the background parameters and the variant for plant 1000 is for 03/31/2011 - 12/31/999 and for plant 1000.
any ideas why these two last UM setups would be taking sooooo long?
What will I do if my setup in Production takes this long?

Hi,
Typically UM will have less number of postings. Please try to run this with only posting date selection ( without plant ).
The job might get completed faster.
Thanks,
Krishnan.

IMac takes way too long to initialize

Hi all,
when I start my 17" iMac intel duo core it takes way too long to start-up. This is a recent phenomena. Before (presumably before I did something to the computer to cause this) the start-up time was very quick as it should be. I've 2 GB of RAM - so I know it's not a RAM issue. I've lots of hard disk storage left too. I just can't figure out what's taking it so long, nor do I know how to remedy the cause.
Also, I have Windows XP installed as a partition, and when I restart going to windows, or coming back to OSX 10.4.11 the initialize time is too long.
Note that i've tried all steps listed in troubleshooting in the iMac User's Guide, and they don't work.
1. Has anyone any thoughts about how to revert to the quick start-up times?
2. Does anybody know what keys to hold so that when you power on the iMac you can choose which operating system to start in?
Any help is appreciated,
Vincenso

Auto login meaning that you do not type in your name and password when you first boot up. Do you have a lot of fonts installed on this machine? There may be something or many things set to auto launch when you sign in and depending on what it is may take a while to load up. Anit-virus software? Go to your Apple menu in the top left corner of the Finder and go to your System Preferences. Click on Accounts, your user, then Login Items. There it will show you a list of all the applications that launch when you sign in.

Shuffle taking way too long to sync

after updating to itunes 8.o, all of the three shuffles that use that itunes library take forever to sync-even one song or podcast. what happened?? does anyone know how to fix this??

Even though the Shuffle is listed as USB 2.0 compatible it only seems to sync at USB 1.1 speeds. I've had a nano and a shuffle and the nano syncs WAY faster than shuffle (no conversion to 128kbps AAC is taking place)
