Palm TX won't connect to WRT300N

I have a Palm TX and a WRT300N. The palm will not connect unless the router is set B only. It connect immediately on B only, but will not connect on B/G mixed or B/G/N mixed. I know it's not the Palm, becuase I can connect to other G routers, and all my computers can connect fine to the router in N, G or B mode, so I don;t think the router is broken. I've tried it will WPA, WEP and no security. It always connect using B and never otherwise.

Changing the channel did not work (I had tried that). It works on all channels when set to B only, and never when set to any mixed modes.

Palm TX won't connect to new Windows 7 laptop

I've been trying to get my TX to connect to a new Toshiba laptop. I first tried to hotsync via USB and discovered on this forum why that wouldn't work - no 64-bit USB driver, apparently. I read as much as I could find here, and tried everything I could, and I think I'm close to a solution, but I'm stuck.
I set up an ad-hoc network on the laptop and connected to it in the laptop's control panel>network and sharing center>connect to a network. It shows the ad-hoc network as connected, "waiting for users." When I scan for networks in the TX, it finds the ad hoc network, but won't connect to it.
In a Palm.com support link I found here, it said that I can't sync via wifi until I have synced via cable, which of course I can't do. Is that my problem? I'm thinking it's not; at least, not yet. I need to establish the connection before I can attempt a wifi hotsync.
Toshiba M505, Intel Core 2 Duo, 4MB RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Palm Desktop by Access v6.2.2, Hotsync v7.0.2

Before we go on, I would suggest using the free "NVBackup" to make a perfect compressed copy of your TX placed on your SD card. This will insure no data loss. If you're already using it, Great! If not, you can find it here: NVBackup
Ok, let's review. You are trying to sync via Wifi to your new Win7 laptop, correct? And you have successfully installed Palm Desktop by Access version 6.2.2.
You've been following my guide from the "How to sync a TX to Vista64 via Wifi" thread.
The laptop is connected wirelessly to your router and can go online. You've made the necessary setting changes in the Hotsync Manager (to make it use a "Network TCP/IP" connection). HotSync Manager is present and running and has been allowed through the Firewall(s). You've determined the exact IP address of the laptop by either using the DOS command "ipconfig /all" or by viewing the active connections list in your router's status pages, and entered the numbers correctly on the TX.
On your TX, you've opened the HotSync icon, and checked the pull-down menu: Modem Sync prefs is set to "Network" and LANSync Prefs is set to "LANSync" (not Local Hotsync).
The TX has Wifi turned on, and is connected to your network. Pressing the HotSync button on the TX's screen should initiate a connection to the laptop.
One glitch I ran into the other night. Recently, I changed the encryption scheme on my router to WPA2 (AES) to gain speed with my /n laptop. The TX can handle this since I installed the paid Wifi update on it. It did begin to have problems completing a Wifi HotSync! The laptop started the HotSync fine, but it ended before completion each time. (The $6 update is not necessary to sync via Wifi. Things worked well previously).
My solution? Hard-wire into the router with a LAN cable. I turned off the Wifi on the laptop via the switch, cabled into the router and found my new IP address. I entered it into the TX and away we Synced!
If you still have problems, it might require reinstalling Palm Desktop with all the precautions in place -- Admin prviledges, Anti Virus software turned off during the install, etc. See if you can sync with the desktop before importing your data.
I know this method works, and several other users have chimed in on the sticky thread that Win7 works this way too!

Palm TX won't connect to computer via WiFi for Hotsync

I've tried the network Hotsync on all my computers, XP, Vista 32 and Vista 64 (which started the whole attempt) and the device fails to connect to the computer, even when I put in the IP address.
My wireless network sees the Palm and I am able to access the Internet through it, but it won't connect to my computers. Any suggestions?

Here's my Wifi Hotsync help file:
Wifi HotSync with a TX
1. On your PC, locate the HotSync Manager (little HotSync icon in the lower right tool tray on a Winbox). Click on it and check off "Network", then click again and select Setup.
2. Pick the Network tab up top in the window that opens, and find your HotSync name in the list. Make sure it's checked.
3. Tap the TCP/IP button, and look at the IP address listed for "Primary PC Address". Write it down.
4. Turn on Wifi on your Palm and connect to your router.
5. On your Palm, select the HotSync program and tap the word "Network" above the HotSync icon in the middle of the screen. Below it, enter the IP address you wrote down in step 3. (Include the periods!).
6. Tap the big HotSync icon above the IP address, and hold on!
7. If you're holding on, and nothing happens try a wired HotSync, then try the Wifi HotSync again. Sometimes, information has to transfer from your PC after you check off the Network option. Also, be sure to watch for any Firewall activity asking you about "HotSync.exe is trying to access your hard drive" etc. You may need to set a rule to allow it.
On your TX, check these settings from the pull-down menu in Hotsync:
Modem Sync: Network
LanSync: :LANSync
Network Setup: (Wifi should be listed as one of the networks)

WET610N won't connect to WRT300N

Good day, I purchased a new WET610N Bridge to connect a web camera to my wireless network. The router is a WRT300N and has been working perfectly since installation. For some reason I cannot get the bridge to connect wirelessly to the router. Going through the CD install and also tried the Web pages on the bridge and gave up after 3 hours. I figure this should be about a 10 minute setup.
Has anyone done this?
Thanks!

You can certainly bridge or cascade both the router's(not wireless)...You may follow the link here

Palm III won't connect to software

Hello. I have a 3Com Palm III PDA, and a Serial to USB Adapter I got off eBay (seller was Colordrives.) I downloaded the software for the Palm III off Palm's website (4.2.1 Rev A) and installed it. I tried to connect the Palm III to the software and it just isn't working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You might checkout *Missing Sync* from MarkSpace.com (commercial product).
I use Missing Sync for my Palm based Sony CLIE TH55. Palm stopped updating their Mac software several years ago and have not kept up with operating system changes. MarkSpace.com has stepped in to fill that gap.
I do not know if Missing Sync will work with your Palm III, but it is worth checking out.
The other thing you might try is going over to 1src.com and doing some searches. You may find some already posted information over there. 1src.com was a major Palm related forum. I learned a lot over there with regards to Palm and my TH55.

Palm LifeDrive won't connect

Hi all,
I have just replaced my old Airport Extreme 'mushroom' base station (802.11b/g) with one of those brick shaped ones (802.11n). I have configured it to use b/g compatibilty mode, but I have no luck connecting my LD to it. The PDA detects the network and shows it in the available networks list, but when I try to select it, it just says 'no connection'. I have tried enabling/disabling the MAC address control of the Base, and enabling/disabling password security also, but even with all restrictions disabled, the LD still acts the same.
Any clue?

HSF58,
Is your PC an HP brand?
If it is, it is probably 64bit Vista and you will not be able to sync your device using the USB cable. To verify the Windows version, go to computer, right click and go to properties. You should see the version number on that screen.
If you have 64bit Vista, you can do a Bluetooth hotsync.
Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding Setting up a Bluetooth HotSync operation with a desktop PC.

Palm Pro won't connect to Windows XP via USB

I can't get my Palm Pro to connect to windows XP. When I connect it, via the USB connection, it prompts that it has found new hardware, however the ActiveSync portion fails and nothing happens. I've uninstalled & installed the software twice and even dug into the registery to make sure it was completely cleaned out. Futhermore, it connects to my laptop at home no problems. Firewall is disabled.
Thoughts?
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Sprint)

In device manager you do not see any listing for the Palm or Windows Mobile device, but you see the DM jump or blink. When you connect the USB cable, do you get a beep-beep low then high, or a triple gong sound. The triple gong sound would indicate that the connection is established, but the device is not recognized. You may have a driver issue that require a clean uninstall / reinstall. I am guessing that you did try another USB port. Here are the steps for the clean uninstall / reinstall:
Full uninstall of PD on XP:
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to C:\Program Files\Palm or
Palm One. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and copy.
Then go to your PC desktop, right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
For Palm desktop 6.2, look in the following location for the folders and files, my documents, PalmOS desktop. You will find the username folder in this location.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer. Like the above folder, delete the Palm folder. Once this is done, you will need to delete some registry keys
from your PC Operating System registry.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
to not start up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them everything
they need to delete. To retain your current Registry settings, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
On the PC, go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As
box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents or you can change to a location you will remember. In the file name box, type "Regbackup[todaysdate]" i.e. Regbackup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are
you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer
Then reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
did not sync before you create a hotsync name.

IPOD won't connect to Windows or show up in itunes...HELP

Have my daughter's 30 GB 5th Gen Ipod here. When you plug it into the computer with the cord, it will turn on, and charge. However I get a balloon come up that says "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not regognize it. For assistance in solving this issue click this message." I clicked the message. It shows the Ipod in Device Manager as an "unknown device" and when you try to update the driver, it says there are no better drivers to install than the one currently installed. I have tried the 5 R's step by step several times, and that does not work. I can not restore it because it does not show up in itunes. I have tried it on other computers and it does the same thing. It plays the music she has on it, works fine, but we can not get it to connect to either computer. Her friend's Ipods connect to both our computers fine, and will download songs etc. I also have tried putting it into disc mode to see if it would go into itunes so we can restore it. Same message comes up when you have it in disc mode. I have also tried the "tap on the palm" suggestion, which made no difference at all. It just won't connect. I do have the newest version of itunes downloaded and installed.
I am at my wits end with this thing! PLEASE help me get this thing to connect.

Sprint Palm Treo 755p Network Connection Inconsistent

I've had a Sprint Palm Treo 755p for almost 2 years now, and multiple times a week during this time the connectivity ceases and I have to power down the phone connection and restart it to make a call. This is the 3rd device Sprint has replaced for me and I'm finished talking with them. They acknowledge that this is a chronic problem with this device and don't have a solution to recommend. It is updated. I use the default applications, with only text readers as the extra 3rd party applications. My fidelity to the Palm product is waining thin since it seems that this problem is unresolvable.
Question: Is it too much to expect that the phone will work consistently when in a strong network area? I've seen other users' posts about this but have yet to find a solution. Any help will be appreciated.
(The phone will show bars/connectivity status when it won't dial out nor receive calls. I'm not in non-network areas when this occurs.)
Thank you!
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. If you have had 3 device replacements and the same problem repeats itself, unable to connect to the sprint network, what is the common factor here? As you stated in the subject "Sprint Palm Treo 755p Network Connection Inconsistent". It is highly unlikely that this is a hardware issue for your 755p. The one consistent factor is the Sprint network and your provisioning on that network which has all the settings and information that allows your account to connect to it. What needs to happen here is you need to talk to Sprint, have them totally remove your provisioning setup on their network and then rebuild it from scratch. All your 755p does is receive what it is given by the network and it connects with the instructions in that provisioning.
The only other possibility, did you have a older device before th 755p? If so and you synced to the same user name its possible some internal settings got synced into the 755 that are causing problems due to compatibility issues. When you have done a hard reset did you sync immediately? If so you need to sync to backup data then hard reset, go to (for palm desktop 4.?) c:\program files\palm (or palmone)\your user name folder and right click on the backup folder and rename it backupold. (if palm desktop 6.2) Go to c:\my documents\palm os desktop\user name folder and rename backup folder. Befor you do sync use the device for awhile to test and see if the same problem happens. If not then sync. You will not have any of the stored settings or 3rd party sw, they will have to be installed manually. Once you sync do not install any of the 3rd party sw for atlease a day and test. If no problems go to that backupold folder and find the .prc file and double click on it to put it in the installer and sync. Only install one at a time and test till you sure all is fine before reinstalling another and continue to test till you find a file that may be causing problems.

TX won't connect via USB - Windows "disconnected hardware" sound effect repeats continually

I've had my TX for over two years now, and this month I've encountered an unusual problem. When I try to connect the Palm to a USB port (any port), the Windows sound effect that indicates a USB device has been detected stutters quickly on one tone (three quick notes), then after a few seconds of silence, it plays the normal disconnected sound effect immediately followed by the three-note monotone stutter. This continues in and endless loop with neither my PC nor the Palm showing any other signs of it being connected.
Has anyone seen this problem before, and does anyone have any advice? I've tried soft resets and re-installing the Palm software on the PC, but to no avail. I cannot even use the Palm as a SD card reader because the Palm won't connect at all.

IPad won't connect to my bluetooth headset

My iPad used to connect to the headset, however. I believe it stopped two updates ago.
I purchased a Retro phone headset from Thinkgeek:
http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/8928/
I have a VOIP app on my iPad for use over WiFi.
I have a digital line VOIP service. I wanted to use my iPad as, basically, my business phone.
But now the iPad won't see my device. Both my Macbook Pros do, my iPhone does, my old Palm Pre did, my PC does, my wife's iPod touch does.
I've read somewhere that restoring the iPad can wipe the device profiles. Did that, no dice. Still won't connect.
The Retro headset identifies itself as an H680, and Motorola makes an H680.
Anyone have any experience with this?

And before someone says "It uses HFP and iPad doesn't support that," I did get it paired and working not long ago.
I'd rather not have to buy an iPad 2 for this.

My HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 won't connect to my wireless router

This is bizarre. I have had my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 for about 6 months. It has generally worked fine, and we have used it wirelessly only. But now it refuses to connect to the router. It can FIND the router, and it can find other networks in the area, but it won't connect to the router. I ran the Wireless Network Test, and the results say:
Wireless On - Pass // Wireless Working - Pass //
Network Name (SSID) found - Pass // Wireless Networks Detected - 9
Printer Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Settings - Pass / No Filtering - FAIL //
So it recommends solution as follows: "1 If MAC Address filtering is enabled, and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the Mac address of your printer to the list of permitted devices for your router before continuing."
Except, guess what, I don't have MAC Address filtering enabled. I wouldn't know how to do that, much less check for it.
Also, before today, this was never a problem. HELP!
Thanks....
If you are interested, here's more detail and background.
Before today, the only problem we have had is that frequently our Apple laptop (OS X 10.6) has trouble connecting to the printer. This has been odd because the printer is connected to the network, and so is the laptop, but the laptop can't find the printer - it thinks the printer is "offline" (even though it's not). Usually, if I wait a while, it will find the printer, and it will resolve itself work fine. If not, we sometimes have found that it can fix itself if you restart the laptop -- restarting the printer does not make a difference. In fact, I did exactly that today, and it resolved itself. And I printed. Fine, right?
But then I wanted to do more printing, and the problem of the laptop not finding the printer came up again, so I decided to really "get to the bottom of this." I don't remember exactly what I did, but somehow I was persuaded by the online help, that the correct solution would be to go into my System Preferences / Print and Fax, and click on the "-", which de-installs the printer, with the idea of re-installing the printer. But then when I tried to re-install the printer, it could not find the printer. Ugh! Wierdly, it found an 8600 Scanner, but not an 8600 printers. After installing and de-installing the 8600 scanner a few times, I eventually deinstalled everything, and I decided to start from scratch. I got my HP disk, and installed all the software again from the beginning (even though it was already there), and then it looked for my printer, but couldn't find it. So then I got a USB cord, and plugged that in.
So, now I have a situation where I do have a working printer via the USB cord, but no wireless connection at all. In particular, since the Office Jet Pro 8600 won't connect to the router, I don't know what else to do. My Apple MacBook pro is 2 feet away from the printer, and it is connected to the router just fine (as is my blackberry), and I have never before had a problem connecting to the wireless router by the printer.
Any suggestions?

There are two things that can trip the mac filtering test to fail: actual MAC address filtering setup (sounds like this is not the case) and using wireless channel 6 or automatic for wireless channel in the wireless network settings (in the router). Since it does show failed for MAC filtering and you do not use this option, try changing the wireless channel in the router to 1 or 11. Those two channels provide the best compatibility with printers due to less interference. Almost everything defaults to auto or 6 for the channel and this causes a lot of interference. This change should not affect anything at all. To do this, you may need to contact the router manufacturer as the process differs from router to router.
What brand and model is the router?
Has anything in the network settings changed at all?
What version is the Mac OS X? There may be additional steps to take as it sounds like there are two separate issues involved and this could be revisited later.

HI,
The Apple IDs from @mac.com and @me.com (Older MobileMe and more recent iCloud Names) are also Valid AIM Screen names.
Any other sort of Apple ID is not a Valid AIM Name.
A Google ID that is associated with Google Mail Account (And has "Talk" enable on your Google Settings) can be used in iChat as Jabber Name/ID. (Google Run Jabber server).
Jabber and AIM are different IM Services and it is not easy or straight forward to add Buddies from one Service to the Buddy List of another. (As A Starting point consider it "impossible")
iChat 4 and 5 have links to the registration page of @Mac.com here with a "Get an iChat Account" button in the add (Account) screen (You select @mac.com or MobileMe and then press the Button - Choosing AIM and then pressing the button used to lead to the AIM registration page but AIM moved their page).
Apple IDs can be any valid email (or an @mac.com or iCloud registration)
Therefore you could make a Google ID into an Apple ID.
However this will not be a valid AIM Screen Name the way @mac.com or MobileMe/iCloud ones are.
