Palm TX help

Hi, I'm new to Palm, I just recently bought a Palm TX. I love it. However I have a problem with it. Everytime I opened up a program for example I opened a music folder and when I want to exit out that window I had to press on the HOME button because I can't find the exit or an X key anywhere to exit out the program. Can you guys help me please.

There is normally no "X" button in PalmOS. You're thinking along the lines of Windows or Windows Mobile OS.
Some programs will have an "Exit" option in their menus, but it's the same as tapping the Home button.
PalmOS is not a true multi-tasking operating system. When you tap Home, it stops the program where you left it, and will clear out the RAM being used by it.
What you're doing is correct.

You are asking a LOT of Basic Questions that can be answered by reading the User Guide that is included with every Palm on the installation disk.
It can also be read by going to Palm.com and the suport page for your device.
You add programs with Palm Desktop and the Hotsync application.
Ad-hoc refers to Wifi. Not possible.
Wifi: not possible.

Thank you for the help.

The newest Palm Desktop (6.2.2) will work with your older device, but not by itself. You also have to download and install the free utility called PalmHotsyncSetup from www.pimlicosoftware.com.

Palm Smartphone Help

I'm hoping that someone can help me with this problem. My son connected an xbox headset to his Palm smartphone the other day, which didn't work (by the way). However, a slight side effect to this action is that he can no long talk nor hear anyone on his phone. How do I correct this problem?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Palm VIIx HELP

I have a need to retrieve some critical information from my PalmVIIx and it appears that the batterys have died and the unit has reverted to its initial set up mode. Is there any way to recover my date & address book information?
Post relates to: Palm VIIx

Unless you have the information saved on your computer (you have been Hotsyncing regularly as recommended by Palm, correct?) then it is gone. The memory structure of your device is Volatile RAM. It needs electricity to retain the information. When gone, you are left with nothing but zeros...

Possible convert to Blackberry from Palm - please help with outlook questions

I'm debating switching from a Palm Treo 800 (battery life is awful) to Blackberry Curve. I chose the Treo because of active sync with my work exchange server and ability to open Office documents.
Currently, I sync my outlook mail, tasks & calendar with work, and my contacts & notes with my home computer. So if i follow your instructions for using BIS instead of BES (my employer only provides BES service for a carrier which is not mine ...), will I be able to sync manually with a cable to my work computer for calendar & tasks and then to my home computer for contacts & notes?
I have to decide THIS WEEK if I'm going to switch from Palm to Blackberry, so please hurry! The blackberry seems like it's a lot more fun than the Palm, and your support is much more extensive and user-friendly!

Ok, so if both machines are Outlook based, I would not see a problem,
You would need 2 DM programs one at work and one at home.
For work you can specify sync for tasks and calendar, for home sync contacts and notes.
Both calendars would have to be the Outlook calendar as default.
You can the have the synced BB and would have the ability to backup on both machines, or better yet, back up on one machine to eliminate confusion. In case of failure, you have a backup of ALL data.
You wouldn't have to convert anything because Outlook is fully compatible with the Desktop Manager.
I don't see a problem.
Thanks

Vista, Access, and Palm ZZ--help!!

Hello. I have had my palm for almost 3 years. Just recently I had a blob on my calendar. To fix that I had to download Access, since I have Windows Vista. It is working fine now, but how do I put photos on my palm? I used Splash Photo before, but now have media on Access. I have the photos on the Palm Desktop, but when I try to move them to install it says it is not supported. Is the install tool not compatible with Vista? It was my understanding that that is what Access is for. Please help me!!
Post relates to: Palm Z22
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You need to install the spash photo on the PC so the conduits in the Hotsync manager and be updated to sync photos. You will need your Z22 CD.
Put the CD in. It should try to install if it does just cancel it if not don't worry less for you to do.
Next you want to go into your computer. From there right click on the CD ROM drive and either click open or explore.
Then select English.
Then Photos.
Then double click on splashphoto.exe.
then you should be able to sync your photos.

Windows 7 and Palm Centro help needed please

Can someone recommend an inexpensive blue tooth external adapter that is compatible with Windows 7, 64 bit so that I can sync my Palm Centro?
Thank you.

I have the same problem. Had an XP computer. Now have a Windows 7. Installed the software from CD but I'm sure there must be a driver for Win7. I have a 64-bit computer. Cradle won't sync.
The CD that came with these handhelds does not have a 64-bit driver. Neither does Palm Desktop 6.2.2. But the company that took over PalmOS did make one.
Read this thread for information on installing the Palm Desktop 64-bit drivers.
Note: these are 3rd party drivers and not supported by HP.

New PC Old Palm need help

I just got a new laptop with vista and I have a palm m500 hand held. from what i can see the software for the m500 is not compatible with Vista. Is there any advise for this not so computer savy girl?
thanks
Post relates to: Palm m500

You can try the Palm DT 4.1.4e, this may work, but you could have problems with it in Vista. It just depends on your hardware and configuration of Vista. Officially the last version of the Palm DT that is compatible with the M500 is 4.1.4, and this is not compatible with Vista. If this works it will only sync the PIM (contacts, datebook, etc) data.

Palm m100 help

Dear Sirs,
I have one old Palm m100 and I had to reset due to problems and I also had problems with my computer.
I used Win98 with the previous Palm installation and now I'm using with Xp version
I copied the Palm directory and I'm trying to recover my data using the backup (Palm directory)
I've got to recover address and memos, but I could not recover datebook.
I found the datebook.dat file and copied to the new installation directory (C:\Palm\user\datebook) replacing the new datebook.dat file.
But it does not work! Does anyone has any idea how to solve it? There are some important data that I would like to recover.
I've tried to run the old Palm Desktop version but it does not run on Xp.
Thank you
Andre
Post relates to: Palm m100

See if you can find the datebook.bak from the old PC. Rename it to datebook.dat and replace the ones in the user folder. See if that displays.

I can't sync from my laptop to the Palm TX-Help

The contact info from my laptop won't sync with the Palm tx
Post relates to: Palm TX

I would try resetting the PIM Conduit. To do this, on your PC, go to Start > Programs > Palm > PIM Conduit Sync.. Click sync to Palm Desktop.
After that go back to Start > Programs > Palm > PIM Conduit Sync > and click on Outlook this time.
Try syncing and let me know what happens. I have a feeling that either something isn't right in where the data is being told to go or right now Palm Desktop is your default handler. Either way, try this and let me know if it resolves your issue or not.

Ical and palm desktop - help

I'm using palm desktop to syn with my palm treo.
I would like to syn my palm desktop calendar with ical.
Anybody knows how to do it?
Thanks!

You cannot simultaneously synchronize 'conflicting' data types with your Palm device. So, for example, your can…
• synchronize contacts between your handheld the Palm Desktop, or
• synchronize contacts between the Address Book and your handheld using iSync, or
• synchronize contacts between the Address Book and your handheld using the Missing Sync for Palm OS and Mark/Space contacts
…but, you cannot choose to perform 2 or more of these options. You must pick an environment—the Palm Desktop or the Address Book and iCal—and a program by which to do this—the Palm Desktop, iSync or the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
The same is true for calendaring and task data. You must choose an environment and an appropriate program to execute and supervise your synchronization events.
It is possible to cross environments by directing contacts to one, and calendaring and tasks to another, but this is a special application best avoided unless you have a very specific reason for choosing this option.
So define precisely what it is you want to accomplish, and I will outline the configuration instructions you need to follow. It's also important to know which Treo model you intend to synchronize, as those prior to the Treo 650 present some challenges, and the Palm OS-based Treo 650 and later another set when iSync is the program chosen.
Any 'advanced' Palm device which uses Palm OS 5.4 or later is better supported by the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and any Palm device which uses the Windows Mobile OS requires the use of third-party software like the Missing Sync for Windows Mobile.

Palm App Catalog "I didn't pay for my copy of Avatar but would like to" help!

OK, so I ended up with Avatar from the App catalog for free(sort of).
The long story short I lost my wallet in the snow storm. So I had to canceled all my lost credit cards last week. When I downloaded Avatar last night I forgot that my palm profile was linked to one of the canceled cards. The game downloaded and plays great. However I received a email from palm (bellow) that the card did not go through, but that was it. I've searched all over palms site can't seem to get any help or contact info. I found a phone number on Palms support web page(but i think it was the palm store help desk number), that did not help.
They told me to call PocketGear. Get this the guy from Palm told me to call Pocketgear. They don't have anything to do with the web os app catalog.
I want to pay for the game but have no idea what to do!

I apparently have the same problem. I bought an app this morning, forgetting that the credit-card in the app-store had been lost & cancelled a few days ago.
I tried changing the credit card to the replacement card # -- it won't let me until all pending purchases have been cleared.
I tried deleting the card but get the same message.
I also removed the application from my Pre. It lets me download it again for free.
The most frustrating part is that the App Store has been sending me a message every freakin' 10 minutes since early this morning:
