PALM V / WINDOWS XP HOME HOTSYNC PROBLEM

Out of the blue, my Palm stopped hotsyncing with my G3 Mac (see http://forums.palm.com/t5/Macintosh-HotSync/PALM-V-MAC-OS9-2-2-HOTSYNC-PROBLEM/td-p/273892;jsessioni...) so I am trying to move everything over to my Windows XP Home machine. I downloaded the Palm Desktop V 4.1.4 and purchased a new Keyspan USA-19HS serial to USB adapter for the cradle. I have the Hotsync Manager set to Local USB and the driver said that I was connected to com 4.
I am at a total loss on what to do to get the hotsync to work and I am totally lost without my PDA.

Hi,
easiest way to verify that your XP CD has SP2 incorporated is to look at the root directory of the CD for a file named 'win51ip.sp2'.
If there, then it is SP2. If not, well...
And there is a way to make yourself a XP CD with SP2 out of your pre-SP2 XP CD by following these instructions http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxpsp2slipstream.asp
But you have to do it on a Windows PC.
Second possibility, the XP CD you have is an upgrade version, which only installs after a check for an older Windows version.
Unfortunately you can't switch CDs during BootCamp Windows installation due to the impossibility to eject the current CD.
Apple strictly says that such upgrade XP CDs don't work with BootCamp.

Windows 7 Home Premium problem creating new user account

I am unable to create a new user account on my Windows 7 Home Premium computer. I have 3 accounts on it already, two are adminstrators, and just trying to add a fourth one (standard user).
I go to User Accounts, click Create new account, give it a name, keep Standard user checked, and press Create Account. The account appears to get created and shows up on the User Accounts screen, though it shows that it is password protected already, even
though I didn't have an opportunity to give it a password yet. I can manage that new user account and delete the password, and it then shows up on User Accounts as not having a password.
When I try to log on as that user from the main logon screen, it prompts me for the password (if I have specified one), but it doesn't accept the password (I've tried defining and using various ones), and I get the message "The user name or password is incorrect".
If I don't define a password for that account, when I click on the account button to logon, I get that same error message immediately.
I also noticed that C:\Users doesn't include the new user account folder there. Don't know if that should've been created at this point before logging on for the first time. I also noticed that there's a "Default User" folder that has a lock on the folder
icon, and I'm not able to open that folder (says it's invalid). There is a "Default" folder there with some content in it and I am able to view it. Don't know if either of these folders act as templates for new users.
At some point months ago I did have a profile problem with one of the existing accounts, and had to follow some suggestions on repairing that user profile. Don't know if that perhaps has complicated things. The 3 existing user accounts are working fine.
Any tips on what I can try to get a new account established?
Thanks, Chuck

I agree with the same problem and the answer below did not work either. I tried changing permissions to Users directory and that did not work either. I even tried creating the directory name of user I wanted to install and that was recognized and
being used, but will not start a user directory for new user.

Boot Camp & Windows XP Home Disc problem

Hi
I have set up a 32gb partition using boot camp on my Macbook Pro. I have a genuine copy of Windows XP Home version 2002.
When starting the installation from CD after boot, the install program asks for an XP Professional or 2000 or NT / Windows 95 disc to be inserted. When i press enter to acknowlege that there is an install disc in the drive, it simply goes back to the previous screen and asks for the disc again...
Anyone had any experience with this? Any help appreciated.
Cheers

Windows 7 Home Sharing Problem (wireless/ Ethernet)

Hello
I spent a few days trying to figure out why home sharing didn't work. I've got 2 windows 7 pc. So comptuer A can detect computer B iTunes library but computer B cannot detect computer A library although the settings such as allow sharing on iTunes preferences are all checked.
Comptuer A was connected using ethernet cable and computer B was using wireless. Both are desktop at different location of the house connected to the same network.
So when I insert an wireless adaptor to Comptuer A and conects it wirelessly to my router, the homesharing appears. Whereas when i connect it with an ethernet cable, it fails.
Is there anyway to troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks

I was able to resolve my issue. Here's how:
Did a lot of research on this. I have a Linksys WRT120N router where the only device not on Wifi was my Windows 7 PC (it was plugged in with an Ethernet cable while everything else was on Wifi). Having fiddled with the router settings to no avail, I went out and bought a Wireless USB adapter to put the Windows 7 PC on Wifi.
When I set that up, I could now see my Windows 7 library on the Apple TVs. However, when I went into the library, it was stuck on "Loading Library" in perpetuity.
I looked in my list of Windows services running (Start -> Control Panel -> Search for "Services") and noticed that, even though I disabled the Windows Firewall in the System and Security settings, the Windows Firewall service was still running. I disabled the service (right click -> properties) and restarted the computer. Voila, it works now.
It is possible that the problem was the Windows Firewall service (not the Wireless), but I've read countless posts where people had issues with the devices being on wired and Wifi and not seeing each other. As such, I haven't (and don't plan to) tested it back with just the Ethernet cable. If you're having my issue, you can try that first.
I should also note that when this wasn't working, I was also unable to use my iPhone to pair as a remote with iTunes. It would pair but the iPhone would be stuck in "Looking for" when I tried to control the library. This is now also fixed after doing the above.
Hope this helps anyone else frustrated out there.

X201 running Windows 7 Home Premium problem with wireless network adaptor

my x201 shows that my wireless is on and my wireless network is available. it keeps trying to connect but is not able to hold a connection (continuously trying and failing). i'm on windows 7, 32 bit, home premium. i downloaded the latest update for the intel wireless today but it's still not working. any ideas?

1) This could be a software problem, so try to uninstall the Wireless card software, and reinstall.
2) If that fails, then try to do an OS reinstall.
3) If OS reinstall fails, then it is a hardware problem, which most likely you need it replaced (if you are under warranty, then call the warranty support, if not then you can source a Lenovo branded wireless card for your machine).

ISO: solution for these itunes vs windows vista home premium problems?

1.Every time I start itunes, it tells me that there are registry entries missing for burning a disk and something else that escapes my immediate memory. However, it suggests reinstalling itunes and I've done that many times without the problem going away.
2. I use a sony laptop with vista and the latest itunes. The itunes task bar is not showing up.
3. When I go to those apple.com/itunes ads for free music, movie trailers, etc and then the itunes store redirector pops up, it always tells me that it can't find itunes, even when it is running.
4. Recently, itunes began to display the phrase "Disc Recording not found..."

Have you worked through the following document in the course of your troubleshooting to date?

TouchSmart 520 Windows 7 Home premium Problems after critical updates

After my TouchSmart 520 auto ran critical updates on 13 Feb 2013,I cannot connect to Internet at all.It was still able to connect to my home wireless network.
I did a systerm recovery, to restore up to just before the critical updates on 13 Feb, then it's able to connect to internet. After that, it auto ran critical updates 2 times, and the same problem started.I have done the system recovery again and now turn off the downloading and installation of critical updates completely, but this should not be long term solution.
Has anyone encounter same problem or is able to help me on this? What else do I need to do?
Appreicate any help.TIA!

Hello sgcosimo,
You’re not able to connect to the internet after updates have run. I’ve had that happen before and usually Microsoft will send out an update that fixes the problem a few days later.
You can try to run the updates again to see if you still get the error.
If you’re still not able to get online, go into device manger and uninstall the Wi-Fi adapter and restart the computer.
Here is a link to uninstall the adapter.
Let me know if this helps.

Blue Screen Error for Windows 7 Home Basic 64 Bit

I have a Sony Vaio E Series with WINDOWS 7 64bit home basic preinstalled. It worked perfectly fine for 2 yrs until last month, I needed to replace the hard drive due to bad sectors. Now, after a month of replacing my hard drive fresh from
Sony Center, I decided to do a dual boot (install another OS - Windows 8.1 pro) on a separate partition. Everything is averagely fine. But 2 nights ago, I encounter a blue screen error for WIN 7 (my pre installed one). It happened the second time, so I started
it in safe mode and did a system restore. I don't know if it will prevent future occurence of blue screen, but to make sure, I reinstall my factory default drivers using Vaio CARE... Pls help.
PS: I have not encountered BLUE SCREEN error in Windows 8.1 yet. Is it OS specific? Here's the error the second time, it happened on my Windows 7:

Hi Garibaldi11,
If you are not equipped to debug this problem, you should use some basic troubleshooting techniques.
•Make sure you have enough disk space.
•If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates.
•Try changing video adapters.
•Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates.
•Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.

Palm m500 Hotsync with Windows 7 Home Basic - 32 bit

I have a couple of old, but ever so useful, Palm m500/m505 PDAs, which I could hot-sync with my old PC running on Windows XP. Now I have up-graded to PC with Windows 7 Home Version - 32 bit and am at my wit's end trying to hot sync my PDA data on to my PC Palm Desktop.
I tried hot-syncing by installing Palm Desktop 4.1.4. and Palm 6.2. Have both on my PC. It did do a hot-sync but only to back-up data. I need to view the data on my PC/Monitor.
As I am of the older generation, (a senior citizen), could an expert give me step-by-step simple instructions on how to resolve my problem. My Palm m500 PDA has too many contacts to manually transfer.
Also can I convert PDA contacts to Outlook Address Book and then hot-sync with Palm m500 series PDA ?
Waiting anxiously for help and guidance ..........
Myra

Palm m505 Desktop onto Windows 7 Home Edition

Hi,
I desperately need help. I have a couple of Palm m505 with lots of contacts. I have upgraded to a new PC with Windows 7 Home Edition.
I have tried downloading both Palm 6.2 and Palm 4.1.0 onto my new PC but keep getting error messages when I try to install either of these.
Could some kind soul out there who knows how to solve this problem, help me with step-by-step instructions as I am fairly new to all this.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

M515 Hotsync problem with computer Windows XP Professional

I am not a computer person. Since my friend connected our WD My Book Essential external hard drive to our computer my husband's M515 does not hotsync . Message he gets is "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again." We have checked everything in the Palm Desktop Hotsync and the handheld Palm and everything looks the same. I have downloaded the Palm Desktop 4.1.4 sotfware, tried the soft reset several times and nothing works. When I Hotsync it restarts the computer and always comes up with the above message. This problem happened a few years ago when PalmOne was operating and the Support Team fixed the problem. Can someone help my husband before he kills me and the external WD My Book Essential.....

I was not able to Hot Sync my old Tungsten T (m550) with Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and HotSync Manager (Windows).
I am using Windows 7, 32bit OS. I unistalled Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and HotSync Manager (Windows),
then downloaded Palm Desktop 6.2 and HotSync Manager (Windows) and everything works just fine now.
Here is the link for that version:

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version. I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues. During the installation process it gave me an error message that said:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer. I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I did not leave anything out from the error message. It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..." Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
How do I repair this issue? I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse. I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

Hi lustyln,
I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
For reference, here are your product specifications:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282

I can't synchronize my iPod's with my iTunes software (Windows Vista Home Premium) due to problems with the access authorization / rights for this operation

Hi there,
I'd like to ask you something:
I'm trying to synchronize all my iPod's (I have as many as 4 iPods: 2 iPod touch a 8 GB each and 2 iPod classic a 160 GB each) with my iTunes software (Version 11.3.1 which is installed on a Windows PC (Windows Vista Home Premium)). Unfortunately, the iTunes software refuses to run the command "synchronize with the iPod connected" regarding each and every iPod I have. iTunes just declares:
Synchronizing is impossible because I wouldn't hold the access authorization / rights for this operation.
I uploaded the songs at issue to my iTunes folder from CD's (all songs are in AAC format now).
What is this access authorization, why was something like that invented and what can I do to get it?
How do I have to proceed in detail?
What would it cost?
I am brand new here and have never ever made a post in any support community anywhere in the world in my life. Well, and I am not excessively knowledgeable about the particular computer or mac language but I know the very basics or can find out about them.
Anyways - can you help me please?
If you can't help me, who can do so?
It would be nice if you could answer me as soon as possible!
Thank you guys

Yes, others have experienced the problem, a simple search of the forums would have revealed that and the simple solution.
Termporarily disable any security software on the computer.
