Palm TX won't sync anymore either with BT or cable....

My Palm TX was running fine...syncing with BT and cable without any problems except when I last went to sync it the HotSync process started but it doesn't complete....the only error msg I get is after quite some time (long after the HotSync window has disappeared off my desktop) on the TX is that I've lost my connection....but I don't know why and therefore I don't know how to go about troubleshooting.
I get the same error reaction regardless of whether or not I use a Bluetooth or Palm cable HotSync option.
Please help....

HT1338 my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore.

my 5th generation ipod won't sync anymore to my PowerMac G4. It worked fine, but when I installed a new hard drive it won't work anymore. I've re-installed iTunes, the latest version for Tiger, I've reset and restored my iPod. The ipod shows up fine in the source banner and I can transfer files to it, however when I unplug the iPod the files are not there.

Maybe try to repair the iPod's HD using Disk Utility located in the Applications -> Utilities folder. If that doesn't help, try a low level reformat of the drive using the same application. Make sure you choose Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) as the file system format.

My suggestion, try syncing with sync music turned off. If that doesn't work, try syncing in a new User Page on your mac.

Palm z22 won't sync with Windows 7

I have a palm Z22 which I only use for geocaching. Has been working fine with Windows XP.
Just got a new computer running Windows 7. Installed from the disc (few years old)..wouldn't sync or recognize the PDA. Downloaded Palm Desktop 6.2 which was supposed to fix the problem..didn't work.
What now?? Would buy another Palm PDA if necessary. Are there any which will work on Windows 7?

You get asked it every day? Too much of a bother to you?
Assuming only one person per day contacts you about this issue (which I very much doubt), that would mean approximately 120 persons have bothered to ask the question since the release of Windows 7. This does not reflect the many who simply toss their Palm product in the trash, and buy a competitor's product.
It is incomprehensible to me that a patch has not been written yet. And it is obvious that you really just do not care. You present yourself as simply annoyed that you CUSTOMERS are asking for help.
No enterprise that relies on satisfied customers can long survive with an attitude that a portion of their users just don't matter.
Since this is only your third post here I'll try to help you out with some background information how forums work.
Questions that get asked over and over get special treatment - they get responses that are stuck to the top of each section of the forum, and are called "sticky posts". They are placed prominently at the top, and have a dark background to attract the attention of New Users who may be unfamiliar how internet forums work. It's "assumed" anyone looking for answers would scan the top of a section first before posting questions.
Perhaps you missed the one for Windows 7? Did you not get any results using the Search function? How about using the new Tag function to click on "Windows_7"? Have you been trying to sync to a 64bit system via cable? Palm Desktop 6.2.2 works fine with 32bit Win7...
So you feel I don't care eh? Do you see a Palm logo under my nickname? You don't, due to the fact I am a VOLUNTEER here, sitting at home, and offering my years of experience with PalmOS devices freely to those asking for help. I am the highest Kudo'd responder here (kudos=Thank You's), have the highest post count, and yes answering the same question over and over again does get tedious at times!
The plain fact remains that Palm Inc. is ending support for PalmOS devices, and those of us using them are on our own. They sold Palm Desktop to a Japanese company named "Access" years ago, and have gone to webOS as their entire future. Microsoft has changed their OS twice now (since XP), and you chose to purchase it/them. Access finally came out with version 6.2.2 of Palm Desktop (for Vista), but that seems to be the end of the road as far as they're concerned.
One of the basic tenets of business is to attract new customers constantly. Palm's PDA line was discontinued due to lack of sales. Yes, I would have loved to have seen a TX2, or at least see Palm actually advertise and market what they actually had. Palm Inc. has moved on, and would like everyone to purchase a webOS device now.
Welcome to the Forum, and I hope you get the answers you are seeking.

Status as a volunteer does not bestow license for rudeness.
It should be reasonably simple to provide a link to a summary of the Windows 7 sync problems, rather than replying to the questioner in the manner you did.
A problem so often asked about deserves to be handled helpfully, not sarcastically. Actually, no request for help of any kind should be treated so disparagingly.
And, although I have no intention of getting into a pissing contest with you, you are way off base in your response to me, dripping with disparagement and sarcasm.
Clearly, in your mind at least, anyone daring to criticize you must be an ignoramus.
I did not search the forum to arrive here.
I came to this forum page from an outside link. Had I realized it would bring me here, I would not have followed it.
I long ago gave up expecting anything helpful in the Palm forums as it relates to this issue.
You did however provide one major piece of useful information: that Palm has literally abandoned PDA users. Yet as recently as last November, the Palm Store in my City was actively selling PDA's including the Z22. One would think that those newly purchased devices would be supported for some reasonable amount of time, like at least a year!
Now I know what future products not to buy. And whom not to engage in conversation.

Palm Centro won't sync Contacts with Desktop

It seems that a few people have had this problem, and I haven't really seen it answered yet. When I enter new contacts in Palm Desktop, they do not get sync'ed to my Centro. The log will just look like this:
HotSync session completed successfully on 07/25/08 21:47:35
HotSync session started on 07/25/08 21:47:32, and completed in 3.0 seconds
To Do List synchronized successfully
Duration: 0.4 seconds
Memo Pad synchronized successfully
Duration: 0.4 seconds
Media synchronized successfully
Duration: 1.6 seconds
In other words, Address Book does not even show up here. I deleted my Hotsync ID on the Centro and changed it in Desktop, and that seemed to sync everything back up again. But the problem still exists when I try to add a new contact. (I also did a hard reset, and then everything sync'ed over as well... and now I'm back to ground zero.)O Adding a new contact on the Palm likewise does not sync back to the Desktop.
I have checked the conduits on both the Palm and in HotSync manager 1000 times, and they are set to synchronize properly.
I do not use Exchange, although I did unsuccessfully try to set it up once with my work e-mail (never actually worked, and I've since deleted the VersaMail account). I noticed this problem after the recent firmware update, but that's not to say that it's the culprit.
Any help or insight would be most appreciated!

Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Once you have successfully synced to an exchange server the only way to completely remove it from the device is a hard reset, one thing you might want to try is a program called NVbackup, back your device hard reset and then do a selective restore and sync back just your contacts, this should then completely remove the exchange account and help you keep your contacts, you may want to manually jot down your contacts just in case though.
For instructions on a hard reset please see http://kb.palm.com solution id 887

Hotsync palm tx- won't sync at all

I'm trying to sync my Palm Tx and when i push the button on the USB cord, it initiates the sync, but then it almost looks like it's 're-powering' and take me to the time setting. It won't sync at all. Can anyone help me?
Post relates to: Palm TX

If it's taking you to the "time setting", it's doing a "Reset" by itself. This is not a good thing, as you've figured out already.
As with most problems that occur on a Palm PDA, it is either software or hardware related and we have to determine which one.
Best method is to first make a complete backup of your unit to your SD card using the free "NVBackup" (available from http://www.freewarepalm.com) After the backup is complete, Hard Reset the unit, then test to see if full functionality returns. (Since you can't HotSync, this will only apply to you if you have the program installed already!)
To perform a Hard Reset:
While pressing and holding the Power button down, tap and release the Reset button in back and continue to hold the Power button down. When the grey Palm logo appears, you can release the Power button.
You should now see the warning page in about 5 languages. Press the UP direction on the 5-way pad to complete the task. Your Palm will reset itself several times as it re-installs the original programs and erases all your previous data.
DO NOT HOTSYNC YET! Test the unit before reinstalling any software. If the unit works correctly, your problem is being caused by a "drug interaction" of software - maybe one rogue program, or a combination of several. You'll have to reinstall the third-party programs one or a few at a time to find the problem one. To avoid re-installing a software issue, rename your /Backup directory in your Palm folder (on a PC it's found here: C/Program Files/Palm(One)/"your HotSync ID name truncated"/Backup) to something like "/BackupOLD". Now perform the HotSync, choose your HotSync name you've been using, and all your PIM data will return, but not the third-party programs. Test for functionality again. If all is good, start installing the old programs from your /BackupOLD directory one (or a few if brave) at a time.
If the unit does not work after a Hard Reset is performed correctly, then it may be Hardware-related. (If it's a connection problem via either BlueTooth or Wifi, be sure nothing has changed on the unit you're trying to connect to!)
Hope this has helped,
Wyrenut

Ipod Nano won't sync anymore

Hi - I have two identical Nano Ipods. 3rd gen 8GB. Both don't sync anymore since I downloaded latest itunes software. When I do a diagnostic check I get under device connectivity issue: "no ipod, iphone or ipad found" - nothing happens when I plug either of them in. However, if I plug another ipod in - a newer one - (not mine, someone else's) everything works fine. Computer and itunes recognizes the device. I have done everything imaginable to fix this problem, going through the step by step process from Apple support. To no avail. Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Do you have any other devices connected via USB? Or have you previously installed other USB peripherals and drivers on that laptop?
Answer: No.
So when you plugged the Nanos into your friends computer, did you use the same cables as you do with your own PC or did you use your friends?
Answer: We used his cable. However, when he plugged HIS newer ipod into MY computer he used MY cable and his ipod was instantly recognized, after an automatic download of the correct driver for his device. I have tried several cables. It is not a cable problem.
Note: My friend is also my husband so his office in the next room. He has a Mac. I have a 2 year old Dell Inspiron with Windows 7. We have tested this numerous times. His ipod works on my computer. My ipods work just fine on his computer. My computer recognizes his ipod but won't recognize mine no matter how many drivers we uninstall and reinstall.
Can you post the results of the Device Connectivity Test?
Answer: I will try to do that later - I have to go to work now. All I have now is what I saw on the screen which was the same thing: "no ipod, iphone, ipad found". Thank you SOOOOO much for trying to troubleshoot this annoying issue.

After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, my iPhone5 won't sync or tether with my Mac.

After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, my iPhone5 won't sync with my Mac. When I connect the two with my USB cable, the phone connects for an instant then disconnects then reconnects and continues with this loop indefinitely. Incidentally, I can no longer tether my phone with my Mac via Bluetooth either. Has anyone else run into this problem?

Can you connect via WiFi? I have not tried connecting with Bluetooth or USB, but since I upgraded to IOS8 I have had issues with my phone properly broadcasting the WiFi. It works very intermittently.

Palm TX won't sync HELP!

I have tried everything to try and get this to sync with Outlook 2007 but it keeps getting hung up. I have contact Live Chat several times. They had hard reset, download Outlook 2007 conduit, install new software, in the Hotsync Manager, I have told it not to sync the Back up since it seems to get stuck there, but still won't sync.
Does anyone else have any suggestions? I have the Palm TX, My computer has XP Pro, I am using USB to connect. I installed HotSync Manager 7.0.2 and I have Palm Desktop 6.2.2.
Please Help! This is very frustrating. Thanks
Lesley
Post relates to: Palm TX

You should be using the Palm Desktop/Hotsync that came on the TX install CD. The newer versions from Access Company of Japan are designed for Vista only and have less features (and more problems) than what is on your CD.
I don't (won't) use Vista and have no experience with installing or uninstalling the Access Desktop. I understand that there is a new file format so it may not be possible to go back.
Get NVBackup and do a complete backup of your TX. Then remove all vestiges of the Access stuff and reinstall Palm Desktop from the CD. Have the PIM data overwrite Desktop on the first sync.
Good luck.

Centro to palm desktop -- won't sync calendar, freezes up

My subject line pretty much says it all. Been syncing just fine until today the calendar won't sync. Initially it wouldn't sync and the log said my calendar or my computer was full, so it wouldn't sync. Now, it just freezes up on trying to sync date book & calendar. Using desktop 6.2.2. Everything else syncs ok if I set the calendar to "do nothing". the desktop search for errors returns no corrupted files. Can't see anything blatantly wrong with the calendar on my centro. Earlier today, a group of appts disappeared from the phone (before I attempted to sync and failed). After failed sync, those entries were back, all in duplicate. I went back and deleted the duplicates (leaving just 1 entry for each) on the phone, but it still won't sync. There are no duplicates on desktop, that I can tell.
So, now what do I do????
Post relates to: Palm TX
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I had this same issue. I spent about 2 hrs on phone today with palm support. Here is the upshot: there were corrupted records(calender events) on the centro that I had to find and delete. For exampe I would have an event 4-5 years ago that would just have "uuu1" or some similar nonsense. What Palm had me do was go to a third party website and download a trial version of an application called dbfixit. www.pimlicosoftware.com. the software would detect the problem but the free trial version would not fix it so I had to go to each corrupted event and delete it myself. I do not think my support person realized that the freeware version cld not autofix the problem. So there was a little confusion there.. but eventually I got everything fixed and hotsynched (relief) I hope this helps you,
John

Dotted circles next to songs, won't sync, red circle with square?

I've tried everything and NOTHING works... At first I had those stupid dotted circles next to every song. I restored it to original settings(as told by apple support), then re-synced everything and the songs started downloading and I was ecstatic. But then about half the songs were playable and the other half had the red circle with square inside. I was also told it will take awhile for them fully download considering I have somany songs. I waited over 12 hours with the ipod still connected and nothing changed.
I then saw that someone else on this posted and said to uncheck 'sync songs', sync the device, then click on sync songs and re-sync it, but then that resorted back to where I first started, back to every song having those dotted circles next to them.
I've contacted apple about this issue numerous time and it just seems like they have no idea what they're doing. They were really nice and tried to help as much as they could, but in the end they were absolutely no help and the problem still existed. If anyone could please help me, I'd gladly appreciate it. I have no what to do anymore besides buy a new iPod, and I'd rather not over a stupid problematic thing like this.
I started a new discussion because no one was replying to the older ones anymore.
Every single song is like and they won't sync.... It is frustrating me so much. I listen to music constantly through-out my day and It annoys me that I hjave to stay at the computer to listen to them. Just a few weeks ago everything was all peachy and worked. In the past weeks I've updated to iOS 7.0.2 and then iOS 7.0.3 the other day. I sometimes wish I hadn't updated to iOS 7, because I never had an issue like this before in the past 10 years of me owning and Apple iPod.

An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:

Zen Microphoto won't sync anymore, but is recogni

Firstly let me say my Zen Microphoto has been syncing and working fine right up until now.
I have XP MCE SP2 installed...
But I am thinking perhaps the problem it won't sync is because I upgraded from Windows Media Player 0 to just today?
What happens is it plugs in, and charges. A couple of times the MTP device box pops up asking me what I want to do and I double click on sync with Media Player. However then it goes away and nothing happens, and Media Player cannot detect it -- but nor can Microphoto Media Explorer, so perhaps it is not a problem with Media Player?
I have searched around the forum and the only solution available is to delete the USB devices in Device Manager, reboot and let them reinstall, but I really don't want to do that, I don't know if anything will stuff up or not -- I have resetted the player and performed a scan disc, and it seems fine.
Thanks for any help guys
EDIT: When trying to reinstall the driver (with Creative cd in dri've) I now get this message: "A service installation section in this INF is invalid" and it says my hardware may not work properly. Nothing has changed except now I have an exclamation mark on my Creative Zen Microphoto icon in Device Manager and I can't properly install the driver, with the proper cd! This is extremely frustrating!

Purchased TV Show won't sync to iPod with no error messages or action

I've ripped two seasons of a tv show onto my computer and they sync to my video iPod just fine. I purchased the only 3 episodes I wanted of a later season, but they won't sync to the iPod. It gives me no error messages about authorization, and it won't allow me to drag the files to the iPod. Do you think this is an authorization problem? This is the first macbook, iPod, and iTunes account I've ever had.

The key phrase is "iTunes includes the capability to convert SOME movies into a format that can be played on an iPhone or an iPod that supports video playback."
The original poster is a Mac user. I find QuickTime Pro to be an excellent tool on the Mac for converting video files to the touch.
There certainly are some file formats QT won't convert, but if the file he has plays in iTunes it should convert with QT Pro.

Notes won't sync from either iPad or iPhone to Macbook Air

So here is my problem. I have a yahoo account that allows my notes to go between my iPad and iPhone no problem, email works great too. BUT my notes won't sync up to my macbook, I've tried creating a new email account but every time I select the "notes" box I get the same error...
IF the stupid error is unknown then is there anyone out there that can tell me the mysteries of this magical unknown error so I can access my notes on my computer..please help. The account is a pop account, does that matter, should it be changed to imap? There are heaps of discussions about this and most of them are rabbit trails.

Which Mac OS and which iOS are you using? Are you having trouble with USB sync or wifi sync or both?
