Palm tx sync

I am now the proud owner of the 3rd TX since Christmas.  The other two failed, however, #2 did last long enough to load all of my data and transfer it to the PC.  How is the best way to sync #3 to the PC and install the data in the handheld?
Thanks

Normal way is to just charge it for 3 hours, then hook it to your computer.  Choose your original Hotsync name when asked to "choose an account or create a new one".
Is this your first experience with a Palm device?  Having 3 fail in a month is way beyond "normal"!  What failed in the other two?

    68575B46-9075-11DB-8B94-000D933084AA:ABPerson represents a single record in the Address Book on your Macintosh desktop or portable computer.
    That records is corrupted or incomplete, and the errors further up the list point to three electronic mail identifiers which cannot be properly handled. The first and third contain duplicated field data: the second contains no data. The first electronic mail records is labeled Home, and each of the others is labeled work.
    The easiest way to handle this is to launch the Address Book, locate the record identified by the electronic mail address, create a new record and enter the correct and and complete information for that individual, then delete the original, troublesome records. Then synchronize as you typically would, and the deletions and additions you've made will propagate throughout your framework.
    With the Missing Sync for Palm OS, you can simply and shorten this process by temporarily creating and using a conduit profile containing only the Mark/Space Contacts conduit, leaving all others in this profile inactive.

  • Will the Palm TX sync with my macbook 10.5.1 osx??

    I need to buy a palm and I am interested in the Palm TX.  It does not say that it supports MAC 10.5.1, so will I not be able to sync it to my computer?  What is the best option when looking for a palm to sync with my mac??  I appreciate any advice!
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Just noticed your post to the subject issue. I have not been able to use my Palm TX since I switched from my old G4 to my new Intel Mac running OSX 10.5.2. I do not understand what you meant by "Mark/Space Missing Sync for Palm OS". Does this mean it is possible to sync my address book and calender without using of the antiqued Palm Desktop?

  • Trouble enabling Palm OS Sync'ing in iSync 2.2

    I have a user with an iMac G5 running OS X 10.4.6, iSync 2.2, and Palm Desktop 4.2.1 rev D. (All the latest and greatest). Right now his Treo syncs through Palm Desktop fine to his Palm database, but we'd like to switch him over to sync to Address Book and iCal. In the old days of iSync 1.x I knew how to do this by installing Apple's "iSync Palm Conduit 1.2", but nowadays I understand with iSync 2.x you need to run the "Devices > Enable Palm OS Syncing..." menu command first which patches the conduits correctly.
    The problem is, when I try that I get an error saying that Palm Desktop isn't installed properly. I know that it is, and just to be sure I reinstalled it. I also opened up the permissions fully by issuing a "sudo chmod -R a=rw+X /Applications/Palm" command in Terminal.
    One thought I have is that this user is a Standard user. Do you need to run the "Enable Palm OS Syncing..." command as an administrator, since there may be application support pieces installed elsewhere? Has anyone else had issues getting this to work?
    Your help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    1.42GHz Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1GB RAM, SuperDrive, Airport

    It is a permissions problem, but not in the location you imagine. The issue is primarily with the permissions settings here:
    Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync
    This issue occurs most commonly because a user has chosen to perform an archive and install of Mac OS X. Here are the appropriate Terminal entries to correct it:
    • sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Applications/Palm
    • sudo chmod -R 775 /Applications/Palm
    • sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ HotSync/
    • sudo chmod -R 775 /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ HotSync/
    • sudo chown -R <shortusername>:admin /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ Desktop/
    • sudo chmod -R 775 /Library/Application\ Support/Palm\ Desktop/
    Running those commands should resolve the issue.

  • 10.4.7 and Palm Hot Sync

    Perhaps it is coincidence but when I updated to 10.4.7 via Software Updater, my Palm Hot Sync stopped working. Says it cannot establish communications link between Palm Zire 71 and Mac. Anyone else seen this? Any fix?

    I have the exact same problem.
    Gee, do I hate this!
    I used to be an "early adopter", but it was simply taking more and more time resolving strange (/somebody else's QA) issues, and so I gave up on this behaviour.
    Nowadays, I wait for a while and only then install new software.
    However, because of all kind of security issues, you have to install your OS updates quickly and there you have it!
    Please Apple develop a Palm-like device quickly (and include a phone!) so that I am sure the combination of "stuff" I have is covered by your QA tests!
    I'm willing to pay for it!
    Though the Palm is still a great device, the software integration with the Mac is a problem that's getting worse year after year.

  • Palm pre sync with Google tasks?

    Hello, I am thinking about upgrading my Centro to a Palm Pre versus a Google Android phone. I am leaning towards the pre but for one issue. I know that it is easy to sync Google calendars, but what about syncing Google tasks? I saw some old posts that said you can't do it, but am wondering if it is now supported.

    Hello.  I am new to the forum and might not be here long if a couple issues can't can't be fixed.
    1.  As an ADHD adult, the tasks list is by far the most important application on a Palm for me.   I synchronized all my data from Palm Desktop 6.22 to my brand new Pre and there are a couple problems.  One, I can't figure out how to do recurring tasks.  On the Centro it was simple.  Just enter something like "feed the fish"  and set it to redo three days after task was completed.  I see no settings like this .  How can I get recurring tasks back?
    2.  I used to have categories on my Palm Centro task list.  For example, as a teacher, I had school tasks, a grocery lists, a Home Depot list, etc.  These categories disappeared after I synced to my newly created Google account.
    3.    This is pretty similar to number two.  I used to have categories for memos.  Categories for passwords, categories for college stuff, categories for fantasy baseball stuff, etc.  Now, they're gone.  How do I get them back.
    4.  More memos questions.  How come some of them show the details and then starting at the letter P, I just see sticky notes with one or two letters?  WHat is that about?  How am I supposed to know  what those memos are?  How do I fix this?
    I've been a Palm Use for well over a decade, but if Palm can;t fix things like this, well, then I guess I'll give up on 'em and get a Droid like my wife.  However, Palm has helped me organize my life for so long I'd like to stay with them.  Are there any fixes for these problems, either via setting on the phone, apps, or anything else?  Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Blue Tooth to Palm Desktop Sync failure

    Hi;
    I have 2 Tungsten t3s.  I installed the Palm Desktop then the IOGear Bluetooth driver/software. All ran and synced fine.
    I use XP Pro Service pack 2 - duo core Intel 2.66ghz with 2gbs ram.
    Been having problems with pc locking up other weirdness; ALL PRIOR to getting and installing Palm Desktop & Bluetooth.
    Decided to format hard drive and reinstall XP Pro (Serv. Pack 2 -- don't use Serv Pack 3 -- too many problems). Reinstalled 
    all my usual software again.  All clean installation.  System running great - no problems at all.
    Happily proceeded to install Palm Desktop, then installed Bluetooth.  PC Bluetooth found PDA - PDA found PC.   They paired just fine with security codes and all else but couldn't connect with Palm Desktop!! Uninstalled both completely; reinstalled (this Time) Bluetooth first, then Palm Desktop.  Still no sync. Bluetooth finds PDA and PDA finds PC but can't connect to Palm Desktop. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times -- (cleaned registry & deleted Palm folders) both Palm software & bluetooth to no avail. Tried same setup on two other pcs -- still no connection to Palm Desktop.  I repeat all worked fine before.  I am somewhat of a PC tech; have setup, built and repaired 100's pcs; have never dealt with bluetooth before.

    If the same problem is happening on different PCs then it's the device. If you have the data backed up then it's time to hard reset the device.

  • Palm Centro Sync Error

    Hi Everyone,
    I recently upgraded to the Palm Centro and I love it, the only thing is I've been getting the same error message since the first time I synced with my laptop.  I've looked through the first 16 pages of this forum hoping to find some information and while I saw a few posts, none referred to the error message that I'm getting.
    Phone: Palm Centro
    OS: Windows Vista
    Connection: USB
    This is the error message:
    PMTraceDatabase
    Protocol Error
    Handheld file could not be opened. (4004)
    SYNCERR_FILE_NOT_OPEN
    Whatever help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    If you do a search on the forum for 4004 you will find many other posts about the error message especially with Vista. The Centro is relatively new and any extra information you can provide us will greatly help decode this error.
    1. Can you post all third party applications you have installed on your device
    2. What device did you upgrade from?
    3. Did you follow standard upgrade procedures that can be found here http://kb.palm.com solution id 12926
    4. Are you syncing through EAS?
    5. Are you doing a cabled sync, bluetooth, wireless?
    6. Are you using any other backup program, either through Sprint or another third party company?
    7. Are you syncing to Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook? (if outlook what version)
    At this time with the limited information you have provided the only solution I can suggest if the soft reset as the previous person posted is to hard reset your device and follow the standard upgrade procedure that I provided for you on step 2.
    Any other information you can provide that you believe might be of some use will be great also.

  • Palm Centro Sync

    Three hours later, I'm turning to you.  Centro on Windows XP.  "Synchronized datebook gets to 2 of 12" and then freezes.  Have downloaded and the sync will connect and complete,  but Not update.  Then after making a change the second sync will freeze again.  Have soft set the centro and rebooted the computer a number of times.   This is the first problem I've had since my first Palm100 about 10 years ago.  The calendar on the computer is not a current calendar.  Help!
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    If your data is on the Palm Desktop then you can set your conduits in Hotsync to desktop overwrites handheld. I would export your data before you do this just in case the corruption is on the Palm DT also. See the following:
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
    Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
    Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
    With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
    Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
    With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

  • ISync / Palm AddressBook sync problem

    Supposedly I should be able to set up iSync so that iCal syncs with Palm DateBook but the Palm Desktop AddressBook continues to sync with the Addressbook on my handheld. Following the directions in the support document below to I have set up iSync to sync iCal with the Palm Datebook, but have disabled syncing of Contacts (=Mac Address Book) because I prefer the the Palm Desktop AddressBook software.
    "iSync: How to use with Palm Desktop"
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93166
    Since I have unchecked "Contacts" in the iSync setup there should be no conflict with the Palm AddressBook conduit. However, when I follow the directions in the above document, iSync reports a conflict and disables the Palm AddressBook conduit.
    How can I sync iCal to my handheld, but continue to sync the Palm Desktop AddressBook?
    Thanks,

    PowerMac Quad G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    With the release of Mac OS X 10.4 and iSync 2, this additional, undocumented step became necessary:
    You must toss the com.apple.isync.plist file from your users Preferences folder after unchecking either the Contacts or Calendars option in the device pane in iSync and restoring the appropriate Palm conduits to the active Conduits folder.

  • Replacing Palm and Syncing with Mac

    I have been using a Palm handheld (the bottom-of-the-range Z22) for many years, together with the appropriate version of the Palm Desktop application on my Mac. Now my handheld has given up the ghost, and, having begun to look for a replacement, have begun to realize that the world has changed while I haven't been watching. Where have all the Palm handhelds gone?
    I would be really grateful for advice, since any replacement will have to fulfil the following requirements. Firstly, I must be able to back up data from it onto my Mac (and vice versa), just as I have been able to do hitherto. Secondly, I want to be able to transfer all my data from my present Palm Desktop application to the new device and whatever desktop application comes with it. (As far as my contacts are concerned, I have kept them in an AppleWorks database as well as on my Palm and Palm Desktop. I suppose it conceivably might be easier to import them from the AW database than from Palm Desktop. But my diary entries for the next year or two, and my Memo data, will in any case have to come from Palm Desktop.)
    The crucial thing in both these matters is that my computer is a PPC one and my operating system is Tiger (10.4.11), and I am not proposing to upgrade these, since a great deal of my expensive software would also have to be upgraded if I did.
    As far as I can see, only fossilized remains of plain old handhelds (diary, address book, memos) now exist. I do not really want a smartphone, since I have an ordinary mobile 'phone anyway and do not require mobile access to e-mails and internet. But if I have to have a smartphone, so be it, as long as I can synch it with my Mac and can import my data from Palm Desktop into it.
    Thank you very much for suggestions, ideas amd advice.

    Appleworks is no longer supported.  So a Palm software may actually be better when moving to the modern day.  See this user tip with regards to converting your Appleworks files:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2522
    According to:
    http://roaringapps.com/app:2293
    It appears Palm has abandoned the Mac as well, and Missing Sync is your best bet to keep your old files updated:
    http://www.markspace.com/osx-lion/index.html
    So you might want to consider their software, and compatible devices to integrate yourself when you move up to Intel Macs.  This migration tip explains other things you may need to consider:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295
    And if upgrading to Leopard:

    Or Snow Leopard:

    Or Lion:

    Hello rhackett and welcome to the Palm forums.
    If you are using a 64-bit edition of Windows 7 you will be unable to perform a HotSync using the provided 32-bit USB driver from the Treo software CD.  You will need to perform a HotSync over Bluetooth.  For more details, check out this thread.

    Hi, 
    I've been trying to hotsync my palm to Mac laptop for a few hours everyday for  5 days now - I've visited all the forums, bought a new laptop (this was incidental rather than caused by the palm problem)
    ...At first I got the "transport monitor" missing error - I followed support forums' suggestions.  It didn't work.  Hotsync would not happen; and neither would palm desktop open.  i don't use any other programs to sync (not isync, not outlook, etc) Only ever use Palm for like 10 years now.
    This problem persisted in both my 3-yr old mac and the brand new mac-
    I also tried installing pam desktop  from the online palm support site.
    I've since re-installed palm desktop a few times and handheld says "hotsync operation complete" However, Palm Desktop will not open and I get this error -- "file is busy"  
    Please please help - I've recently decided to allow my palm to rule my life again (we do international events and we're bringing in Australia's #1dj in a few weeks) --I'm desperate for a solution -
