Palm Treo Sync

Hi.
I'm Trying to sync my palm treo 650 with my mac and when I try to activate sincronization with palm os I'm having problems with all the conduits. It shows that I have to desactivate them.. What can I do. This conduits are the ones I want to Sync

Are you using iSync? If you are, then you cannot use the Palm conduits for "Address", "Datebook", "Calendar", "Contacts", "ToDo", or "Tasks"; the iSync conduit supersedes all of them.
If you're using Palm Desktop for contacts, calendar, and to-dos, then you shouldn't use iSync. A Treo has the new Palm databases, so for Palm Desktop synch you should use Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks.
If you're using iCal and Address Book, then disable all of the Palm conduits listed above (drag them out of /Library/Application Support/Palm HotSync/Conduits into somewhere else, like a "Disabled Conduits" folder).
You can't use both Palm Desktop AND iCal/Address Book.
If you're using categories on the Palm Calendar, or birthdays and/or photos in the Contacts database, then iSync won't do the job for you at all. I'd recommend buying The Missing Sync from Mark/Space (www.markspace.com), which supplies its own SyncServices conduits that work like iSync does to iCal and Address Book, but much better... including support for categories, contact birthdays, and contact photos.

Palm Treo calendar has stopped syncing with iCal

I have a Palm Treo 650 and an Intel iMac runing OS X 10.4.11. I've had both for a few years, and I've always been able to sync them with no problems using the iSync conduit when doing a Hot Sync from the Palm. But suddenly I'm finding that, while it appears to be syncing fine and doesn't display any error messages, iCal is not being updated with new events from the Palm calendar.
Tonight is the first time I've encountered this, but it's also the the first time I've been able to sync at all in a while, because for the last few weeks, every time I've tried, I've gotten an error due to having too much data on the Palm - which is a catch-22 in that I didn't want to delete anything without being able to do a backup, but couldn't do a backup without deleting things first. But finally I took the plunge tonight and deleted a bunch of things. And it seemed like it synced OK - except that no new events turned up in iCal.
I've tried several times, and I've checked my settings in both iSync and the HotSync Manager to make sure they were OK. I read through some support articles on here (although most of them seemed to deal only with 10.5 and 10.6) and tried re-enabling Palm syncing in iCal, resetting my sync history, and quitting iCal, clearing the cache folders, and restarting it, but still no go.
The little mini-report you see at the end of a HotSync always says the iSync conduit ran OK, but if I look in the log itself, I see this:
iSync Conduit: received NULL message, disconnecting... 1/22/10 4:43:48 AM
OK iSync Conduit
So it seems like it is encountering some sort of problem with iSync, but is then reporting it OK anyway? The iSync log doesn't show any errors at all. Another odd thing I noticed is that if I have iSync open while I'm hot syncing, iSync seems to be finished while Hot Sync is still working on the Datebook, even though theoretically it should be iSync that's handling that.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here? Or anything else I might try in the way of troubleshooting?

Ah, I see.
There are many thing which can cause the null issue to arise. Chief among them is a lack of available storage space on your Palm device itself. Typically this can only be corrected by overwriting the contents of your organizer by initiating a first time synchronization and selecting that option, following a reset of the synchronization framework on your Macintosh.
Eek - I have a fair bit of stuff on there I don't want to lose, since I usually use the Treo for taking notes at business meetings and that sort of thing. Maybe I can find a way of getting my notes out by copying into notes fields in the address book... (I haven't been able to get Memos to sync since I stopped using Entourage, and Documents have never synced, so I'm kind of used to kludgy workarounds for getting at those.)
It makes sense that the lack of space would be an issue, since this really only started when the Treo got too full, and while I've been able to delete enough stuff to at least enable to HotSync in theory, obviously it wasn't enough for it to sync everything properly.
You mentioned two machines - are you synchronizing your Palm device with BOTH, or with just one of these platforms? The synchronization to multiple platforms may also result in the sort of issue that you are seeing.
Two machines? I don't think I said anything like that... Maybe the way I described the multiple conduits folders was confusing? They're all on the same machine, just that one's in the main Library and one's in the Library in my user folder. The only machine I sync it to is my iMac.
I've been going through and deleting what files I feel like I can safely delete, in order to free up some space in hopes that that will help, but on the whole, I am starting to suspect that the long-range solution to this whole problem might be getting an iPhone instead. :-/

Sync Palm treo with Mac and Windows

Have a Palm Treo 650 for both personal and work use. Unse a Windows box at work and a Mac at home. I can sync the Palm with my Mac, and I can sync it with Outlook in Windows, but doing this leads to problems, especially multiple entries in both calendar and contacts.
What I'd like to do is set the Palm up to sync with Outlook on the Windows box, and have it overwrite the data on the Mac when I sync at home. I can't find options for this in iSync 2 (merge data or overwrite device).
Any suggestions?
Steve

Thank you for sharing this information. I'm sure it will help others.
I'll just sit back and enjoy the fact I always use the letter q to pair.

Outlook 07 synch to Palm Treo 650 Sync Conduit produces Contacts DUPLICATES in Outlook... Help!

I downloaded the Sync Conduit from Palm, ran a synch from Treo 650 to Outlook 2007 (Vista 32) and it created duplicates for most of my CONTACTS in Outlook 07, not all but most, wierd.
Treo 650 (Cingular) - ( Palm Desktop 6.2 ) - Outlook 2007 (Office 2007) - PC Dual Core Vista Home Premium
Can anyone help get Palm Conduit Sync to not create dups? I deleted all and tried it twice. There are no duplicates in the Treo or Desktop, never had a problem syncing to Palm Desktop, only to Outlook (I am converting from Windows Mail to Outlook)
Thanks,

This question was solved.

Te hotsync manager does not create duplicates.
You will need to clean up the contacts database in Outlook, hard reset your Treo, set the hotsync conduits to desktop overwrites handheld and then sync.
Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding reset procedures.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887
There is a 3rd party app. that will remove duplicates in Outlook.
Here is the link to the site; http://www.mapilab.com/outlook/remove_duplicates/
One thing you may not be aware of is that Palm desktop 6.2 has the Outlook 2007 conduits already installed, you do not need to install the Outlook 2007 conduit update.
You may want to remove the 2007 conduit update using control panel.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

Palm Treo 700wx sync with Palm Desktop

Newbie here, so please excuse if this is already in here somewhere! I've been using Palm Desktop (v4.0.1) syncing with a Sony handheld device (Clie). The Clie died, and I purchased a used Palm Treo 700wx (Sprint) for both cell phone use and as a PDA. Darn if I can find anywhere how to sync the Palm Desktop with the Treo 700wx. Am I missing something somewhere?
Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Sprint)

Hello melemiller and welcome to the Palm forums.
The Treo 700wx, running the Windows Mobile operating system, can only sync to Microsoft Outlook. You will need export the data out of the Sony edition of Palm Desktop and import it into Outlook and then install the Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 software on your computer to sync the Treo to Outlook. If you are using Windows Vista, you need to use the Windows Mobile Device Center that is included as part of Vista to sync with Outlook.

Daylight Savings Time issue with Palm Treo 755p/Missing Sync 6.0.6

I'm not sure where the fault is, but here's what a user sees here:
User has a Palm Treo 755p with the 1.08 software installed.
Since DST on March 14th, when he syncs the iCal information to the phone using Missing Sync 6.0.6, the information on the phone is pushed ahead one hour.
But the odd thing about it is how it shows on the phone.
User created a repeating event from March 12-20 from 9-10 a.m. called "test 9" for an example of this.
On March 12 and 13, this shows as "test 9" -- at 9:00 on the Treo
From the 14th on, it shows as: "test 9 (9 am EST)" -- but it is entered at *10:00* a.m.
What I don't know is if this is a Missing Sync issue or a Palm OS issue.
User's computer is running 10.6.2 -- and both computer and Palm are in the Eastern time zone.
I'm open for suggestions here -- is this a *Palm* issue? Or something else?
Thanks!

We "fixed" this by noticing that -- for whatever reason -- Detroit (we're in Ann Arbor, actually) shows as "Eastern Standard Time" where it seems that every other major city in the time zone (Columbus, Indianapolis, New York, Miami, Philadelphia, etc...) shows as "Eastern Time".
So we set up iCal on this computer to use New York ("Eastern Time") and all the events added to iCal after that synced properly.
I tried to add "Detroit" to the Palm, but had no luck in syncing with that. I think the "Eastern Time" thing is key. I have a Bug Report into Apple about the fact that the time zone seems wrong for us.
That said, while I could change pre-existing events from "Eastern Standard Time" to "Eastern Time" in iCal, those events did *NOT* sync to the Palm correctly.
The user had to delete/readd the events in the right "time zone" to get them to sync correctly.
I'd be curious to know if this solution (?) works for you as well.

Ical, Missing Sync and Palm Treo 680

Most of 2007 was spent trying to get my Palm Lifedrive to Sync with iCal using Missing Sync version 5 thru 6. One day it was fine six days it was not. Nothing I have found to be more infuriating and frustrating as trying to sync my Palm with my Computer.
So, with the arrival of Leopard and the much promised improvements to Sync Services I decided to perform a Clean Install of Leopard on my Powerbook, and run just a few apps on my Powerbook leaving the rest on my new Mini Mac. At the same time I decided to upgrade my Palm Lifedrive to a Palm Treo 680. So, New OS, New Palm, Leopard ready Missing Sync.
1st Sync was spot on. All my data downloaded from .Mac for iCal and AB, sync'ed wonderfully with my Palm Treo. That was on January 7th. Since then iCal absolutely refuses to refresh. And already I am beginning to feel that 2008 and Syncing will be as frustrating as 2007.
Why cannot MarkSpace sit down with Apple and iron out all the crap. For the last couple of days I though I would see if iCal was not communicating with SyncServices by using Entourage. But this only synced with AB and did not touch iCal. To do this I had to use iSync and during the first sync only 144 of 1456 addresses were left on my Palm! iCal - no change!!
So I dumped iSync/Entourage and went back to Missing Sync own Conduits. I got my AB entries back but absolutely nothing from iCal
When I wiped my Powerbook, I cloned the hardrive. Whilst routing around, I found a folder called FileServices in ~libray. This folder was over 12gig in size. What is this folder for and why was it so big? This could explain why my Backup Sets were getting increasing larger than my actual Hardrive even though I was peforming just a daily incremental backup!
Back to iCal. Is there any reason why iCal will not refresh after a so called successful sync with my Treo 680 via Missing Sync v6.0.2?

You might have better luck getting support at Mark/Space the makers of the program. http://support.markspace.com
I did briefly look around there and found this article, not sure if its related to your issue or not.

Can't sync address book with my palm treo 650

About a week ago, my sync stopped working for my G4 and palm treo 650. the hotsync works via bluetooth and there are no errors. When I look at my contacts and calendar, no events or contacts have been imported for the past week or so.
I downloaded the latest palm update for 650 and tiger, still nothing.
Any suggestions

Figured it out and it wasn't fun. I watched the console messages as I deleted groups and tried to sync with Mobile Me until no error msg was displayed. Then I restored AB from a back up and proceeded to delete contacts one at a time and check for errors until none were displayed. After deleting about half my contacts under the one group I finally found the one contact. I then did another AB restore, deleted the troubled contact, sync'd fine, then did another backup. I have no idea why that one contact was the problem as everything looked fine. Console msgs only showed a silly number as the contact, not the name, which is why I had to go through all this. But...it's fixed.

Which sync software downloads do I use for Palm treo pro?

Hi ! I mentioned before on the forums I have a used palm treo pro. I have just realised I do not have the synchronisation software. I looked on the net and found different windows synching softwares 'free' for windows. Am I supposed to look for the software which states it works for the 6.1 windows mobile operating system (on palm treo pro)as I cannot see that sort of thing recommended on the different downloads. The link below seems to be the closest but I cannot imagine a mobile running 6.1 windows using this. I am fairly clueless as I have never synced before. I am going to hotsync some CoPilot sat nav software . Can someone help me out. Thanks very much ! http://download.cnet.com/Microsoft-ActiveSync/3000-2094_4-10031823.html
Also just to say this is what I am attempting with CoPilot- http://www.alk.eu.com/buynow/download-instructions.htm . Scrolling down this link to the title under STEP 2 saying Alternative method it shows the type of hotsyncing I need to do. Anyone with any knowledge should understand this and hopefully could advise. I have put the link in this message as I am looking for the correct hotsync software.
Thanks again!

Alpine23, I've moved your post from the Windows HotSync section to here, due to the fact your device does not use that software - "Hotsync" refers to devices that run PalmOS.
Your device runs Windows Mobile. What you use to sync it depends on the operating system on your computer. Older OS's like Windows XP use a program called "Microsoft ActiveSync". Newer computers running Vista or Win7 use "Windows Mobile Device Center:

Sync Palm Treo 700p to iPhone

Is it possible to sync my 5yr-old Palm Treo 700p to my new iPhone? If yes, please tell me how to do it.
I did sync the Palm to my MacBook Pro and then to my new iPhone. But it only transferred the contacts and phone numbers, no addresses, no email, no notes. I have 2500 contacts in my Treo/iPhone. It would be impossible to enter the missing information by hand.

Intermittent Calendar Sync, Outlook 2007, Exchange 2003, Windows Mobile 6, Palm Treo Pro.

Hello,
We are having a problem with a couple of our devices, one being a Palm Treo Pro.
The users have noticed that some of the calendar appointments they receive are not always updating in either their outlook, or on their device, it is apparently random as to whether it updates to the device and not outlook or vice versa.
That is as much detail as I currently have; I am asking them to supply more observations as I know this doesn't give us alot to go on but thought I would ask in case someone else has experienced similar issues.
The other thing I noticed is that the windows update tool fails to work with the following message: "Connection to the update server not available. Check data connection setting and ensure device date and time are correct."
The date and time are correct (live in the UK) and they can access the internet and emails on the device to connection settings must be working.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Marc
