Palm TX stuck in loop

This morning, my Palm TX started displaying some weird messages regarding the keyboard, which wasn't attached.  I then attempted to go online with it, and it wasn't working, but I know my wireless router was working fine.  After that, my TX began operating erratically, and turning it off didn't help, so I hit the 'Rest' button on the back.  It became stuck in a reset loop.
I checked the forums and tried what was suggested here: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=PalmSupportKB,ts=Palm_External2001,case=obj(26419).
That stopped it from looping, and I plugged it into my computer to sync it.  After the sync was complete, I got this error message on the TX screen: (Sys 0505) (0, 841)
And this in the HotSync log:  Failed to restore 1 file(s) - ConnectionMgr50DB.PDB - Already exists: Protocol Error: File already exists. (400B) - SYNCERR_FILE_ALREADY_EXIST
After I hit 'OK' on the TX screen, it begings the loop again.

I might know what the offending software, but how do I stop it from installing onto my TX?  I think it may be an AOL IM program, and after I reset the Palm to factory settings, I try and sync it with my PC.  Everytime I do that, it installs all the software that was previously installed, which includes the AOL program.  So, is there a way to keep this program from re-installing when I sync?

If it's the free version from the UK site, that's your problem.  It causes an instant reset loop for any TX when any Soft Reset occurs.
Look for it in your /Backup directory on your PC.  It's saved in your /Program Files/Palm/ your user name/Backup location.  Find it and delete it!
Next Hotsync won't include it.

  • After Hotsynching a Palm Treo 680, its Hotsynch stuck in loop, lock ups, etc.

    Hello,
    My father is having problem with his Palm Treo 680 (unlocked). Before the incident, he Hotsynched between his Treo and his Dell Optiplex machine (Windows 2000 SP4 with all updates; USB connection).
    The PDA went stuck in a Hotsynch screen on the PDA even if it is disconnected and hard resetted (battery removal since there is no hole). Eventually, the issue stopped (don't know what he did). However, there are still random lock ups and the looping Hotsynch again (no specific times and patterns). Also removing the extra memory cards didn't help either. Also, he reported that his phone didsn't ring either from incoming calls.
    Does anyone know what's going on? Is the PDA dying since he uses it daily all almost all day when he is awake? His warranty expired already, he said. It seems like a lot of people had problems from my Google searches.
    FYI if it helps, the Hotsynch logs BEFORE the problems (he didn't install anything new -- only data changes and updates): http://pastebin.ca/678475
    Thank you in advance.

  • Voice mail stuck in loop

    I just went to set up voice mail, picked a password (same as the one I was using on the Palm Centro my iPhone replaced), recorded a custom greeting, went to save and got this message: "Voicemail Unavailable. Unable to connect. Try again later."
    I have tried repeatedly but get the same message every time. When I try to cancel out of the setup process, the phone app just kicks me back into voice mail setup and puts me back on the screen where I am supposed to save the greeting. I can't break out of this and get back to the phone keyboard and other features.
    I tried force quitting phone, but I'm still stuck in the same loop when I reopen phone. Any ideas?
    Neil

    If you press "Cancel" on the voicemail process and (as soon as the telephone menu shows up) you press any other menu option (like Contacts or Keyboard), you can eventually get out of the loop. It has worked for me a couple of times.
    This is terribly annoying, by the way.

  • Pre stuck in Loop mode...

    My Palm Pre is stuck in a rebooting loop.  When I install the battery and power up, i keep seeing the "palm" logo then it flickers and shows back up "palm"...
    I've taken the battery out and fired it up again and same thing...
    I plugged in the USB cable while it was booting and it won't read it...
    Any help?
    I've put on 1.4 already.

    @mikeydbrain:
    Have you tried the reset suggested earlier? Also, try removing the battery and holding down the power button for approximately 10 seconds, then release the power button and reconnect the battery.
    If this still does not resolve the issue, I would recommend visiting www.palm.com/rom and running the webOS Doctor.
    Hope this helps,

  • FF 15.0 on Windows 7 (64 bit) PC opens in Safe Mode but will NOT open after letting FF do reset procedure; now "stuck" in loop.

    1) FF 15.0.0.4619 on Windows PC 64 bit machine. No themes; about a dozen fairly standard plug-ins; a few extensions - fairly vanilla setup. Been having occassional problem this past week in viewing web PDFs.
    Crash occurred after some program (adobe ??) wanted to do routine update.
    2) Upon clicking FF icon pop up indicates "problem and unexpected crash" but clicking details button does NOT provide any info. Clicking on Restart FF button offers me option to Start in Safe Mode or Quit FF.
    3) Starts in Safe Mode and first time I did that FF reported Java as being disabled and NOT upto date. Did Java update/install (Java Platform SE 7 U7 10.7.2). FF still will not start except in Safe Mode.
    4) Re-booted computer ... Clicking FF icon brings up pop up with problem and crash sentence but no details. Following screen offers Reset to Default option, and upon clicking Reset it takes me back to the same pop up - so I am stuck in a loop that seems to accomplish nothing. Using Reset upon entering Sage Mode results in same loop.
    I really hate using IE so appreciate any assistance in getting back to beloved FF.

  • ITunes Match Broken stuck in Loop

    iTunes Match no longer works. It seems stuck in an loop cycle of checking and uploading my tradks. Never had this problem before the latest iTunes update.

    I found this to be an "unofficial" ISP problem.  I use WOW/Knology and I read of this happening with Comcast (surprise!  surprise!).  Evidently, the iTunes Match transfer was using too much bandwidth and WOW clamped down on this.
    My iTunes Match was in an endless loop.  Following all the instructions that I found about this in the support area did not resolved the issue.  I did find two answers claiming to resolve this issue.  Both mentioned "port throttling"--that is, limiting the upload speed on a specific port (https--443) or a variety of ports.  I tried the easiest and throttled port 433 to 128K max and reran iTunes Match.  It complete parts 1 and 2 easily.  iTunes Match is working on part 3 currently.  Slowly but surely--has has been working steadily for 16-18 hours now (my iTunes library is ~85GB).  (The transfer listed each file as it is being transferred.  It is interesting to see the transfer penalty of never throwing "anything" away.)
    There are several port-throttling programs for the Mac.  " Entonnoir " was the one recommended and the one I am using.  It is a free download --the publisher does ask for a donation.

  • My recursive file search is stuck in loop...

    I am running on OS X using Java version 1.4.2_09.
    I am trying to make a recursive search through the file system to count up all the objects that qualify as files...and eventually perform some function on them that is not yet written. My goal is to create the same output that the unix command: "find / -type file" would return. However, my search is getting stuck in an endless loop which gets deeper and deeper and deeper... I think the cause is the search following links, or mount points.
    Here are selected lines of output showing the repetition created by the scan. There are tons of files and folders between each of these lines, but the key is that the same Application file path (in italics) is being touch multiple times, and the prefix (underlined path) is being prepended to the to itself over and over and over again.
    First Time Pass: (this is correct - and in italics)
    /Applications/Adium.app/Contents/Resources/is.lproj
    Second Time Pass: (notice the italics, we covered this path is pass 1 - notice underlined)
    /automount/Servers/powerbook.local/Applications/Adium.app/Contents/Resources/is.lproj
    Third Time Pass: (notice the underlined, it is duplicated and also seen in pass 2)
    /automount/Servers/powerbook.local/automount/Servers/powerbook.local/Applications/Adium.app/Contents/Resources/is.lproj
    N Time Pass:
    will just repeat - "/automount/Servers/powerbook.local" N-1 times.
    I can't get past the automount directory...making me believe that it is just following mount points. The funny part is, if you navigate one of these rediculously long (and repetative) paths that is outputed, it is legitament and takes you to the file. Here is the code minus the methods to verify user input.
    import java.lang.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class hogan {
        public String src=null; //source...where to begin recursive scan
        public File[] fnfArray=null;
        public List fnfList;
        public ArrayList list, deeperList;
        public Iterator filesIter;
        public int folders=0, files=0, unknown=0;
        public static void main (String args[]){
            hogan h=new hogan(); //this is because I made my variable public.  is that bad or good?
            h.vInput(args); //verifies the switches are formated correctly in another method.
            h.vSwitches(new File(h.src)); //verifies the values of the switches are legitament.
            h.getFiles(new File(h.src)); //begin recursive scan.
            System.out.println("\nTotal Files Found:   " + h.files);
            System.out.println("Total Folders Found: " + h.folders);
            System.out.println("Total Unknown Found: " + h.unknown);
            System.out.println("Total Objects Found: " + (h.files+h.folders+h.unknown) + "\n");
        public ArrayList getFiles(File startDir)
            list=new ArrayList();
            fnfArray=startDir.listFiles();//"Files And Folders Array"
            fnfList=Arrays.asList(fnfArray);//Files And Folders List"       
            Iterator filesIter=fnfList.iterator();
            File currentFile=null;
            while(filesIter.hasNext()){
                currentFile=(File)filesIter.next();
                list.add(currentFile);
                if((currentFile.isDirectory()) && (currentFile.listFiles()!=null)){
                    System.out.println("Folder: " + currentFile);//output where we are in the scan
                    deeperList=getFiles(currentFile);
                    list.addAll(deeperList);
                else if(currentFile.isFile()){
                    System.out.println("File:   " + currentFile);//output where we are in the scan
                    files++;
            Collections.sort(list);
            return list;
    Is there a way to prevent a recursive search from following links or mount points. Can you set some attribute to files touched that says..."You've been here already, move on to the next."??? Thanks alot, and I'm sorry for my code, I am as green as it gets when it comes to java, and as rusty as it gets when it comes to programming. Thanks!!!
    Hippie Joe

    Just wanted to update you...I did get it working. The problem was, as I expected some looping between symbolic links and mount points. So, The File API has this thing called a Canonical path. I didn't know what it was, so had to look it up. In doing that, I stumbled acrossed:
    This piece of code: currentFile.equals(currentFile.getCanonicalFile()
    From this forum thread: http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=42115
    The author was replying on how to filter soft links in Unix enviroments since "depending on their target" isFile and isDirectory could return true. I thought this was my problem, so threw it in a try catch block and all is well! Here is "my" (thanks community!) new code for a recursive method. Does anyone see some alterations to make this more efficient? Thanks!

  • Installation stuck in loop

      I recently upgraded my hard drive and installed OS X lion. It gave me a kernel error which got stuck in restarting non stop and now I have been trying to install mavericks which is stuck in a loop. It installs but refuses to restart automatically and when I restart it it just goes back to the utilities screen. I tried verifying the disk which gives off unused nodes errors and run repair which fixes it and then veryfing gives off another unused node. Not sure if something is failing, missing, broken or what I can do to make it work correctly.

    Also when I try installing lion from my disc it goes to the installation bar then to a black screen and gives me an error that says the Mac OS X installation could not be completed.

  • Iphoto 11 stuck in loop after upgrade

    Have recently upgraded to iPhoto 11 through the app store from the version that came with my MacBook Pro (v8 or 9).  iPhoto 11 is getting stuck in a loop with the gray screen and rotating busy icon in the middle.  I have tried a number of online advice actions but all seem to not work (permissions, DIV X, deleting some of the files in the package, etc).
    Surly there must be an official apple fix for this.

    iPhoto 11 is an application that runs on the Mac. You posted your questioning the iPhoto for iOS forum. Perhaps if you posted your question in the life > iPhoto forum you'll get more responses.

    If it's a rebuilt disc rather than a start-from-scratch disc filled with zeros, then you are probably running into a problem where the previous registration/activation has got itself lodged into the registry and not removed. That's quite enough to screw over a new installation... If this is the case (and this is absolutely worth checking anyway) then you need to deactivate the previous installation manually. The information about how you do this is in the FAQ, which you will find here.
    I should add at this point that the correct way to go about this with a reinstall, especially now in your case, is to remove the software using the uninstaller, and then remove all of the registry entries, and reboot the machine. Then start the installation again from scratch.

  • HT201263 iPhone 4 stuck in loop after downloading iOS 6.0.1

    I downloaded the newest version of iOS 6 to my 5 month old iPhone 4. After about an hour I noticed that the phone was in a perpetual power up/power down loop. I assumed it was part of the downloading process (although it seemed weird) so I left it for another hour. The phone never came out of the loop, and was not recognizable in iTunes or to my computer. After about 3 hours I was finally able to get the phone off by holding down the power button.
    The loop that I described consists of the phone powering up to the apple logo, and powering down, repeating every 5 seconds.
    I was finally able to get my computer to recognize the phone by holding down the home button while I connected it to the USB.
    In iTunes, I restored the phone (1.5 hour process.) Following the restore, the phone hasn't changed, still stuck in the loop.
    I have tried everything I know to do.
    Any ideas?
    The phone is not jailbroke. When the guys at AT&T plugged it up to their computer, the screen turned bright blue. They said the blue screen normally pops up with water damage? The phone hasn't had any damage.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes i tried in my pc and disabled both and in my MacBookPro too, still no luck.

    be patient. Try later. I had the same problem. I updated my iPod Touch to IOS5 and it is ok. Tried my iPhone 4 and it failed. tried 5 times kept failing. Finally it worked. I noticed a message in the iTunes window that said "Verifying iPhone restore with Apple". I think the network or their servers were busy and this was timing out.

  • I have two personal .mac email addresses. One moved to iCloud, other cannot (stuck in loop).

It says "to sign in, move the account to icloud. i click 'get started" It sends me to mobile and it says closed. it auto bounces me to a page that says "Congratulations!" you can now use *********@me.com and mac.com but it's my OTHER working icloud account NOT the email address i am trying to add an icloud account for.
    I cannot see any way to add it to my existing icloud account.
    I tried to delete it from my mac and re-add it as an icloud account. It tells me to move it..... (i did)

    You mention that you're using 2 computers, are they running different OSX ? The OSX v 10.7...
    must be okay I'd assume. The System Requirements for older than Leopard ( OSX v 10.4 thru
    10.5 ) may be problematic. I'm having that particular problem. When you log onto .me or .mac
    seeking iCloud ( or direct URL) and encounter that " moved" sign, there is a Status button in
    the far left corner of your screen. Click there and determine your Online Status, if that's fine
    you've done the right thing during your update. It could be that your older Browser, Email settings
    or simply the OS does not sync to deliver ino to your (?) older Mac/OS. Keep trying here for a
    expert opinion as I am here for my quiry but edit your question above to include those
    parameters ( settings, syst req, etc ). Someone more knowledgeable will help.

  • ITunes has detected an iPod in Recovery Mode. Wiped out library and is stuck in loop.

    Message "iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes" and after restoring, all content was erased from iPod and it is stuck in a loop displaying the same message - never reloads library. It just returns to error message. There was no problem with the iPod. It worked fine until iTunes "restored" it. Support gives the same crap - out of warranty, send money for repair. Try rebooting... right, that fixes everything.
    iTunes was recently updated and that may be the root cause of the failure. Communication between iTunes and iPod is still functioning - iTunes can reset everything back to factory default but, hangs and won't reload library to iPod. Anyone else have this problem after installing new version of iTunes?
