Hi and welcome to the HP Support Community.
Unfortunately, I don't think you have any current options to sync with your new Mac. Palm Desktop 4.2 ceased Mac compatibility with 10.6 Snow Leopard. The only alternative used to be a third party app called Missing Sync. However, it was incompatible with Mac X 10.9 going forward. Also, it has been discontined as of 12/31/14.

Palm Tungsten E2 to sync with I-Touch

Since Palm is no longer supporting PDAs; and since my Plam will enventually malfunction, I am thinking of transferring my 600+ contacts to I-Touch. I bought an I-Touch and attempted the transfer, but, was unsuccessful.
I returned the I-Touch.
Has anyone been successful in transferring contacts to the I-Touch from Palm Tungsten E2? I need help.
Thank you

Palm Tungsten T3 Bluetooth internet setup

Hi,
I'm running windows 8 pro with built-in bluetooth. I am trying to set up a connection to use the Internet.
I'v tryed several tutorials, but none of them work. How do I set it up properly?
Thanks

In the past, users had great success using a program called "Softick PPP" from http://softick.com/ppp
Hopefully, this will still work with Win8.

Palm contacts do not sync with address book

Contact data from my Palm Tungsten does not sync with Address Book. I am running the latest Palm OS and Desktop with iSync 1.5 and Panther OS 10.3.9. Calendar is syncing correctly. According to the log, iSync thinks that the Address Book is also working but no data gets transferred in either directon. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,
i also used iSync for a long time with my Tungsten. BUT(!) iSync is very poor! I learned to know MissingSync and this is a really cool App! Now i have categories in my calender after syncing with my Titanium, i have all adresses and there are a lot of more cool features. Look here:

Sharing Internet with Palm Tungsten T3 via Bluetooth - possible still?

Ok...I know I'm using legacy technology with the Palm Tungsten T3 and it seems that all discussions online that I've found are out of date. Even Missing Sync's Internet Sharing product is discontinued. But I'm running 10.5 on my MacBook Pro...so I would have thought that sharing via Bluetooth PAN would work.
But could be that Bluetooth PAN is something too new for the T3 to handle. So then am I back to using Terminal to run a separate PPP server for the T3? If that's the case...I guess I can try these instructions from 2003 and 2002:

Syncing Palm Tungsten E2 With MacBook Air

Hello, I have owned a Palm Tungsten E2 since 2005. I was able to install the Desktop software on windows XP and sync the device with my Windows XP laptop since 2005. I recently purchased a MAcBook Air and installed the Desktop Software from the CD I purchased in 2005 (it has a Mac version). It appeared to install OK but when I pressed the sync button on the device nothing happened. I would appreciate any help on this issue. Many thanks,

The Missing Sync for Palm OS v6.0.4 won't run with my Palm Tungsten E2

Having problems with Palm iSync on My iBook with 10.4.11 I bought The Missing Sync.
I removed Palm Desktop and installed Missing Sync. However sync won't start when I press the HotSync button.
Is my Palm Tungsten E2, running Palm OS Garnet v. 3.1.1 too old?
If so, can I upgrade it?

No, there is nothing published - that I am aware of - other than the Missing Sync User Guide that you received [as portable document format file] when you purchased the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
There is some developer documentation available from Apple, but it has little direct bearing on anything like the issue you are seeing. Your crash logs should have provided an indication of what was going on, and - using them - Mark/Space should have been able to identify your issue pretty easily.
It's very difficult to troubleshoot unusual issues remotely. Common problems - which can be easily identified - are readily corrected just by following the instructions posted by some knowledgable person here in the Apple Discussions forums. Given the unique circumstances you report of total failure following the installation of the Missing Sync, it's very likely that the actual culprit in your configuration is NOT the Palm desktop, iSync, .Mac Sync, the Missing Sync for Palm OS or your Treo 600. Something unique about your configuration is likely responsible. Trying to eliminate the variables, though, is not an easy task.
One relatively easy way to troubleshoot such issues is to create a new user, reinstall the Missing Sync and attempt to synchronize using that new user account. If that process is successful, you'll immediately know that something involving your existing user account is responsible for the issue.

Hello rlarue, welcome to the HPalm Support Community.
If I could direct your attention to the topmost posts in this section? They have a grey background and are called "sticky posts" due to the fact they do not move downwards as new posts arrive, but "stick" to the top.
That said, you'll find two interesting posts! "How to sync a TX via Wifi" and "64 bit drivers are HERE".

Can't sync Calender with Palm Tungsten T2.

I'm using Windows Vista and when I press Hotsync on my Palm, it won't sync the calender events from PC to Palm but will sync from Palm to PC. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Post relates to: Tungsten T2

I have the same problem but with all the standard apps - calendar, memos, address book, syncing my "new" T2 to Windows XP running desktop 4.1.4. 3rd-party apps seemed to sync fine, though Docs 2 Go and Easy Calc need the coirrect version... sigh....
Years ago I had a T2 synced to this computer and this user name, I believe I've upgraded palm desktop SW since then and most recently had an E2, but that got run over, so I picked up this T2.
I tried doing another hard reset and re-loading, but still the sync claims everything is fine, but no data. Not sure how to tell what version of SW the palm has on it. Maybe the palm and desktop version are not compatible????

Palm Tungsten E No Longer Sync with Macs

I have a Palm Tungsten E (OS 4.5.1P) that no longer Sync's to my two Macintosh computers with OS 10.5.8 but still works fine with my PC computer. That's to say the Macintosh computers won't even acknowledge that I'm trying to sync and via versa that the Tungsten doesn't see the Mac's trying to sync. It's like I have no USB cable attached (which is how I have always synchronized it).
In trouble shooting, I've found that my Palm Zire 72 (OS 4.5.2P) will sync flawlessly with all these computers. What did I change?! Nothing I think. Help please.

Have you done a restart on the Mac's? Also on the device? Also have you tried a different sync cable?

I lost my old palm tungsten (about 5-6 years old. All the information is backed up on my laptop. Is there a new Palm I can buy that will do a sync with my computer?

Post relates to: Tungsten E

Sorry for your loss. But it's awesome that your stuff was backed up. Yay!
Yes, any handheld/smartphones that uses "Palm OS" (key term) should sync just like your old Tungsten. Palm no longer sells Palm OS handhelds/smartphones as new, but you can usually pick one up on eBay or Amazon as a used item.
In order from newest to oldest:
Palm TX
Palm Tungsten T5
Palm Tungsten T3
Centro is Palm's last smartphone which does everything a Palm OS handheld does, and you don't have to have a wireless service attached to it so you can essentially use it as a handheld.
The Lifedrive is a pretty good workhorse - chunkier and older than the others but I always liked it. Nice big screen.
For example:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0009JMT38/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000BI7NHY/ref=sr_1_12_olp?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1279132491&sr=1-1...
Keep in mind these products are no longer manufactured, so when your "new" used device needs to be upgraded/replaced, you'll need to start looking at webOS phones, Windows Mobile phones/handhelds, or Android products. None of these sync the same way as the old Palm OS devices. Some of your stuff might not port over.
webOS is the next generation of Palm, so I'm suggesting that option when the time comes. Palm has an app that migrates Calendar, Contacts and Tasks from Palm Desktop to webOS, which is quite convenient. In fact, you could get a webOS phone now, and move your Palm Desktop stuff over to it today - no need to go through a new/used Palm OS intermediary device.

How can I bluetooth sync without using iCal

Hi, I have a Macbook Pro with Bluetooth, and a Palm Tungsten e2. I would really like to sync using bluetooth, but after I followed all the advice on the Mac support page (which configured my iSync), to my dismay I discovered I was syncing with iCal, not my Palm desktop. For several reasons I prefer Palm desktop to to iCal, so my question is:
Can I do a bluetooth sync, from my Palm to my Mac, and have it work with Palm desktop, rather than iCal and it's associated Address book?
BTW, I found all my disabled conduits and returned them to my original Palm folder, and I switched my prefs back to good ol' USB, and everything seems back to normal.
One day iCal might impress me enough to switch over, but I haven't seen the magic yet.
thanks, Shereen

Certainly. I presume that you are synchronizing now via USB to the Palm Desktop?
As long as you have already paired your organizer with your computer, you are ready to initiate Bluetooth synchronization, though you might want to double check the settings in the HotSync Manager on both the organizer and the computer to insure that the proper software 'mechanism' is enabled.
Be sure that the iSync Palm Conduit—which appears in the HotSync Manager as iSync Conduit and in the Finder as simply Apple—is not active.

What is best solution for using a Palm Tungsten 2 on a Windows 7 computer?

Driven by the end of XP, I purchased an HP Z230 Workstation running Windows 7 Professional.   I'd like to get my Palm Tungsten 2 working, and I've heard several options here on doing that.
OPTIONS
A. Use Palm Desktop 6.2 with Bluetooth for hotsync. (I've done this already with a Win7 laptop, but I use the Note Pad utility a lot with some macros, which unfortunately is not supported on Desktop v6.2).
B. Use Palm Desktop 4.1.4 in a virtual Windows XP environment running under Win 7. I know I can do that, and that is probably my fallback. However, Microsoft suggests that you disconnect from the Internet any time you use the Virtual XP, because it may be susceptible to hacking since they don't support XP anymore.   So that will be an added nuisance that I will probably forget to do.
C. Use the Aceeca USB driver to make Desktop 4.1.4 work.  I tried following the instructions here to do that, but when Hotsync fails, it never shows up as a yellow triangle in the device manager list, even after I followed the trick to make hidden devices visible. So I have not been able to even try the Aceeca driver with Palm 4.1.4 yet.
D. Install the Aceeca Desktop 4.1 and update to their driver. I could try this (uninstall Palm 4.1.4 and install Aceeca 4.1) but it looks like it depends on the same process to update the driver as my option C just above. So I'm thinking I may run into the same roadblock as C.
Questions:
Does anyone have any other ideas of how to get the Aceeca driver hooked up to Palm Desktop 4.1.4 that I could try?
Does anyone know if Aceeca Desktop supports the Note Pad facility if I try option D?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Palm Blue,
Thanks for weighing in!
Here is what I know so far.   I use the Palm Desktop 4.1 on my Win XP computer, and have no problems syncing my Tungsten T2 with USB Hotsyncs.
I've also successfully hotsynced the T2 to a Win7 Pro laptop computer using Palm Desktop 6.2. and Bluetooth.
My goal, which sounds like you have already accomplished, is to install Palm Desktop 4.1.4 on my new Win7 Pro desktop, so that I can sync with the T2 and get the Note Pad functionality also.   This is like my "OPTION C."
Did you have to use the Aceeca driver to make this work on your computer, or were you able to do it with the Palm driver? One other person reported elsewhere having gotten 4.1.4 working on a 64 bit Win7 installation, and he made no mention of the Aceeca driver.  I have not been able to contact him.
In response to your question about what I see when I try to sync:
Palm 4.1.4 is installed on the Win7 Pro desktop, and the hotsync icon is present.
When I try to sync, I hear the characteristic tone indicating that a USB device is recognized. But I also get a message that pops up near it with the yellow triangle and the following text:
"USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED"
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has
malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.
For assistance in solving this problem, click this
message."
If I click the message, I get popup window that says,
One of the devices attached to this comptuer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it."
It then shows a list of the USB devices inside of one of the USB Root Hubs, and one of them has a different icon and a question mark in that icon (not a yellow triangle). And its description is in bold and it says "Unknown USB Device."
I also looked at the Device Manager during a hotsync to see if it shows a Palm device or an Other category.   Using my XP computer first with the Tungsten T2, and which also syncs okay, it is true that during the Hotsync, the Device Manager adds a device "Palm OS Handheld Device / Palm Handheld," that goes away as soon as the hotsync is complete.
Using the same Palm Tungsten 2, when I attempt the Hotsync in the Win7Pro computer, "Palm OS Handheld Device/Palm Handheld"  does NOT appear in the Device Manager (nor anything else like it).
So for some reason, my computer does not have seem to have enough of the Palm Desktop/Hotsync installation complete that I can get to the point of either it working, or where I could try to install the Aceeca driver.
I keep trying things to get it to work, but so far now luck. Looking for more ideas to try.

Tungsten T3 Hot Sync in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and WIndows XP mode

I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and now my Palm T3 will not sync. I downloaded desktop 6.3, 4.1.4, and 4.1.4e. I tried all three in both windows 7 and windows XP mode which I am told is a 32 bit O/S but I'm really not sure. I have tried hot syncing in bluetooth in windows 7 the T3 and Laptop connect but it keeps telling me the port is in use by another program? Does anyone know what I have to do to get it to sync or am I doomed to throw my trusty T3 out? Any Ideas?
