Palm TX no longer able to sync

Hi,
I have a Palm TX and run Windows 7 on a Dell laptop. Syncing was going fine via my home wifi network, until today. Now it won't sync either by the network, or by the cable.
I see from other posts that some have recommended DbFixIt (which costs $13 apparently) to deal with "data blobs" that may be causing the problem. Do you think this is a good bet? I'm just wary of spending much on what is basically an antique technology, but if it's likely to work I'll do it.
Thanks,
HA

appeljazz,
Yes, Download current version(DbFixit 2.0) as a PRC by clicking on picture (DbFixit Free Download) Save on desktop and then select with Palm Install Tool to install it.
To change a conduit setting in Palm Desktop 6.2.2/HotSync Manager 7.0.2, right-click on the HotSync icon, choose Settings, then choose "Applications" in the left column of the window that opens. Now click the little "Show Details" box, and all the Conduit settings for each app will appear.
Highlight the Conduit (Application) you wish to change, then click "Configure". Now you have 4 choices to select.
Remember, if you choose the "Set as Default" box, this setting will stick until you return and uncheck it. If you choose one of the buttons, and not check the box, that setting will remain for one HotSync ONLY, then revert to whatever it was previously.
Change Calendar setting to "Do Nothing", Do a Hotsync. If the HotSync is successful your problem is likely in Calendar Db
If you cannot HotSync, to install the DbFixit, set all conduits to "do nothing" except install

Iphone 5 no longer able to sync to itunes...HELP!!!!

Hey guys, I have tried numerous atempts to getting my iPhone 5 to be able to sync with my MacBook Pro but to no avail. It seems as though this all started after updating to the new OSX Yosemite as well as updating to the new iTunes 12.0.1. Whenever I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop, no matter what it is not showing up in my devices or being recognized. I have tried different cables, reset my iPhone, restarted everything, etc etc etc. It's not being recognized at all and everything under devices is grayed out in iTunes even when the phone is plugged in via usb. I'm not even able to sync wirelessly anymore. PLEASE HELP!!!! This is driving me insane! I have always been a strong supporter for Apple and have never had any issues in the 10+ years I've been an Apple user so this is quite disheartening.... Thank You!

I also had this issue since updating to iTunes 12. My phone was not showing up in "devices" at all, yet it was syncing to iPhoto just fine. What ended up fixing the issue for me was turning both my phone and computer off and back on again, and unplugging any other USB devices so that only my phone was the one connected. It then synced just fine.
FYI, I am running iOS 7.1.2 on an iPhone 5

No longer able to sync after most recent update.

Just updated itunes (10.2.1) and then the iphone OS (4.3). After updating, itunes froze so I cancelled the sync on the iphone, rebooted itunes and tried again.
Now it is giving me the message "The iphone cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
I'm sure I could fix this problem by restoring the iphone through itunes but I had to do this once before and in order to do this one must be connected to the internet. However I get all my internet THROUGH my iphone. Once the iphone is wiped clean no more internet and thus no way to link back to the apple store to verify. Catch 22. If I were on a laptop this wouldn't be a big deal, just take it to a wi-fi hotspot and away we go but I have a 24" iMac. Any suggestions, anyone?
Last time I ended up having to lug the whole damned thing to a friend's house, which I REALLY do not want to do again. At the same time, it would be nice to be able to sync the iphone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know what this means and or is it a Windows 7 issue????

No longer able to sync my iPhone to my MacBook Pro Retina Early 2013

Today after airplaying my iPhone through Apple TV and using a new Bluetooth speaker, I am unable to sync the iPhone to my MacBook. After I clicked the sync button, iTunes started to sync and gave me the following error message: "The iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start." I'm not sure if AirPlay caused the issue or if something else did. I was last able to sync on 12-17 and am using iTunes 11.1.3, IOS 7.0.4, and OS 10.9.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try trashing your iPod's Photo cache and then resyncing the device. The photo cache has a tendency to become corrupt every now and then. Use this article to help you determine where the iPod's photo cache is at.

No longer able to sync my iPhone

I had always been able to sync my iPhone with iTunes until I upgraded the version to iPhone 5.0.1 and iTunes 10. Now it freezes always at some point (sometimes at "syncing notes", other times at "syncing bookmarks", and sometimes at the very start, but it never goes past it, it never completes the sync, and it never reproduces the iPhone memos in iTunes, for example, among other problems. I have tried everything. Reinstalling iTunes, resetting my iPhone, restoring it completely (twice, in fact), painfully erasing absolutely all data, and copying it all again. NOTHING helps. Could anyone please help me with a useful suggestion?

Having the same problem with my 3. Reinstalled OS three times with no luck. Also, it freezes and keeps resetting (rebooting) every 5-10 minutes. Wish I had never updated. Anyone have a clue?

After the IOS update for 3G iPhone, I am now no longer able to sync my phone to my iTunes library. How do I fix this?

I upgraded to the latest IOS update for iPhone 3G, and have since then not been able to sync my phone to my iTunes library. Can anyone help me fix this?

Hi, hoopsnut34.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The most common cause for the screen not rotating would be the Screen Rotation Lock button is enabled. Here are the steps on how to disable this feature.

No longer able to sync all photos

I own an iPhone 3G and a Macbook
I used to be able to sync all my photos to my iPhone but connected it today and it started to delete some pictures.
I hadn't deleted any from iPhoto but they were being deleted from my iPhone.
Now I can't add all my pictures, unless I do so manually.
The photos from the most recent events are all there, but the older the get, the sparser they become.
I have 3700 or so pictures but can only sync 2200.
I have plenty of space on my iPhone and had more than half the space remaining when all my pictures were on there before.
Any ideas?
Ian

Hi Ian,
Try deleting the iPod photo Cache folder and then syncing again.

If the issue persists try rebuilding the iPhoto library.

No Longer Able to Sync itunes to ipod

I recently needed to re-install Tiger. After re-installing, I ran all on-line upgrades to ensure I had the latest software for my mac. When attempting to open itunes, I was prompted to upgrade my version of QuickTime, which I did. I was then able to successfully open itunes; however, when I attempt to sync it to my ipod, I receive the message "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on... Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the itunes store?" I then click on "Authorize," and am prompted for my AppleID and password. After entering this information, I get the message "This computer is already authorized," with "Including this one, you have authorized one computer of your available 5." I click "OK" then the cycle of messages starts again. My ipod is never synced. I tried suggestions I've read on the internet and your website, trying things like "Deauthorize All" and clicking on a purchased song. All my songs have one and only account name associated with them and they are the correct name. I'm at my wits end trying to figure this out. Has anyone come up with a workable solution? TIA!

I did as you suggested. I closed itunes and ran Disk Utility, then repaired permissions. This did indeed repair permissions on a variety of apps including itunes. I then restarted my mac, opened itunes, attached my ipod (which is and has been recognized by itunes), but still experienced the same cycle of authorization errors/messages. Any other thoughts?

ITunes no longer able to sync with Outlook

Hello,
This is my first ever post on any forum so please go easy on me.
I have an iPhone 4s, and iPad1 and run Windows7. I recently tried using iCloud but didn't like the Outlook calendar (appearance or speed) so wanted to go back to just syncing via my USB cable.
I have followed all steps on here, restoring the iPhone, removing and reinstalling iTunes completely (5 times now) and my phone and iPad will no longer sync, they just sit in never land at either backing up calendar or contacts (I have tried leaving them on for hours at a time). I have now lost my calendar and all of the music off the iPhone so hoping for a solution.
I have heard iTunes no longer supports syncing via iTunes, they want you to use iCloud but can't find anything definitive on this but it would explain why I can't get this to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I feel like I have tried everything.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using Google's sync services that are free yet? It sounds to me like you are not using Exchange for your iPhone with work. So, that would leave it open to use with Google. Keep your Google sync with your work calendar (Outlook), then sync up the Google Calendar with iCal so you have the calendar at home. Separately, setup your iPhone to sync real-time with your Google Calendar using the Microsoft Exchange settings. If all you are trying to do is get your one calendar to be the same everywhere, that will do it and it's all free. Here are links to instructions:
*Google Calendar Sync To iCal:*

*Google Calendar Sync To Outlook (sounds like you already have this setup):*

IPhone 4s no longer able to sync with iTunes

My iPhone 4s seems to be going through the motions of synchronising and I haven't had any synch issues prior to now but I can no longer transfer files to the phone. iTunes is showing my phone and contents in the sidebar but every time I try to synch a digital movie download (from Paramount and specifically downloaded for iTunes to and to play on all Apple devices) and a music track ripped from one of my cd's I receive a notification with either 'iPhone locked' or 'not recognised.' I have tried sending the files both via iTunes and My Document files and also synchronising from the phone itself. I have also un-authorised and re-authorised my laptop but am now at a loss as what else to try I have tried searching the communities but have been unsuccessful so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

I am no longer able to sync multiple photo albums/folders on my iphone. I use to be able to sync many folders and now itunes only gives the option of 1 folder. How do I get back to the multiple folder option?

first time to the discussion forum. Like I stated in the title, I use to be able to have all my photo albums sync to my iphone. I did something and now it only allows me to "sync photos from..." and it only allows me to chose from 1 of my folders and not pick multiple folders from my photo library. does anyone know how to get back to the multiple folder option? I'm sure its simple since I changed this so easily when trying to add a single folder to my library.

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

WSUS errors - no longer able to sync with MS

Our environment is SCCM 2012 R2 CU1. We have a primary site server with local SQL (2012) on a Windows 2012 R2 server. We also have WSUS and the SUP on this server as well.
Permissions were changed on the C:\Program Files\Update Services folder. TrustedInstaller was the owner. This was changed, which in turn "broke" WSUS. The permission was restored back to TrustedInstaller. Unfortunately,
there were other permission changes as well. Subfolders under the C:\Program Files\Update Services have domain\Domain Admins as the owner.
Due to these changes, I can no longer sync with MS for updates. There are also multiple errors for the SMS_WSUS_CONFIGURATION_MANAGER, SMS_WSUS_CONTROL_MANAGER and the SMS_WSUS_SYNC_MANAGER.
In the wcm.log file, the errors are:

We do have both "Use a proxy server when synchronizing software updates" and "Use a proxy server when downloading content by using automatic deployment rules" selected.
We do not use a WSUS connection account.
If I open the WSUS console, I cannot connect to the server at all.
In IIS, under the WSUS Administration site, the bindings are set to http-8530, https-8531. Authentication for the site has the "Anonymous Authentication" enabled.
I'm trying to restore the permissions and get WSUS working again without having to un-and re-install.
Is there a document which outlines the permissions needed for the C:\Program Files\Update Services folder(s)?

Unfortunately, what I've found is that you cannot remove WSUS and leave the DB (at least in Server 2012 R2).
So the only option is backup the SUSDB, remove WSUS and the DB, reinstall with a new DB, then restore/replace with the "original" SUSDB.
