PALM VX and Windows Vista 64Bit

Hey I have been searching all over the site for a solution to my problem and I don't think there is one. I have a Palm VX and I am trying to sync it up with my new Vista Machine. The catch is that my OS is 64-bit I have seen that it says Windows Vista 64 is not compatible, but I have installed Palm Desktop 4.414 and it works fine. But before I order a serial to USB adapter I wanted to know for sure if there is any way around this problem.

I just recently purchased a new PC with Windows Vista 64-bit. Although I was told and read through postings such as this that synching my Sprint Palm Treo 755p would not be possible. As an IT professional, I was not willing to take no for an answer. I spent the day doing research and am happy to report that as of yesterday I was able to get my Treo to sync up with my Outlook 2007 on the Vista 64-bit OS.
Here is how I did it:
1. I determined that since the Palm Hotsync cable didn't have any drivers to support the 64-bit, I would sync using my Bluetooth dongle.
2. Went to website for dongle (BlueSoleil) and found the Vista 64-bit drivers and downloaded those.
3. Set up the Bluetooth as a network opening Com 5.
4. Set up the Hotsync for network using Com 5
5. Went to Palm website and downloaded the conduits for Outlook 2007
6. Did a Hotsync via Bluetooth with the handheld overwriting Outlook.
7. Downloaded Chapura Pocket Mirror and set the conduits for Outlook.
I am now syncing like the Titanic.

Your question is frequently asked and answered in the Windows Hotsync board. You need to download PalmHotsyncSetup from www.pimlicosoftware.com

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
I have moved your post to the Windows Hotsync board, where you will find lots of information about syncing older Palm devices with Windows Vista. I suggest you begin with the very first post in this board.

Palm TX and Windows Vista

Is there third-party software that will enable one to connect the Palm TX to a PC operating under Windows Vista? If so, has anyone had experience, good or bad, with it?
Post relates to: Palm TX

Thank you both for your helpful comments. I am moving along, albeit at a snail’s pace and I need some clarification on a couple of points.
My machine has the Vista 64bit operating system, but it does not have bluetooth capability, so I understand that I need to purchase a D-Link Bluetooth adapter. I find that there are two models. Is the DBT 120 D-Link adequate or do I need the DBT 122 D-Link adapter?
I currently have Palm Desktop 4.2 on my computer. When I loaded Palm Desktop 6.2 I found that it erased my calendar and my address book. I had both backed up, but I didn’t even need the backup. When I uninstalled 6.2 and reloaded 4.2 from my Palm disk, both strangely reappeared. However, how can I load and keep 6.2 without losing my calendar and address book?
Thanks again.

Palm m505 and Windows Vista

I recently resurrected my Palm M505 to start using it again but it doesn't want to hotsync to my computer using Windows Vista. I tried downloading update 6.2 from this site (not that it showed that it would workf for my Palm, but what the heck) but it didn't fix the problem either and I'm getting a fatal error message. Is there a patch or a work around that I can download/use that will allow my Palm to work with Windows Vista? I really don't want to get rid of the Palm and switching operating systems is not an option either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Post relates to: Palm m505

Check the OS version such as 32 bit or 64 bit.
If it's 64bit then the device will not syc. That are no drivers for the device, you might want to consider infrared hotsync.

ITunes 1.6 and Windows Vista 64bit Help

I have not been able to use iTunes properly since I got a new computer with Vista 64bit. I can play music, browse iTunes Store and watch Video, but the problem comes when I try to attach my iPod Touch or try burning a CD. With the last version, it seemed that 64bit windows Vista was not supported so I just decided to wait for an upgrade. I download iTunes 1.6 from Apple.com and try to install and it says I need the 64bit iTunes Installer. Did I miss the download for it?
This is the error message I get...
This iTunes Installer is intended for 32-bit versions of Windows. It is Highly recommended that you download and install the 64-bit iTunes Installer instead.
All I need is a Link to the 64-bit Installer because I cant find it.

What's supposed to happen is that when you go to the download page, http://www.apple.com/itunes/download, it's supposed to recognize that you're running 64 bit Vista and then you get the 64 bit iTunes installer. But I've seen reports that FireFox users are only getting the 32 bit installer page.
Can you try that link with IE? And do you get a different installer then?

Synching Palm TX and Windows 7 64bit

I do not have bluetooth on my computer. What is the best way to sync my TX? I have searched the forums and have not found any solutions. My computer is a Dell laptop if that matters and the Windows 7 is factory installed, 64bit. If there is a way to just transfer via the SD card I would be thrilled.
Post relates to: Palm TX

Hello 2marc: Your solution is right on. After my posting I got a Blue tooth connector ($19.95) and simply followed the Palm directions I downloaded and connection occured. The problem of my TX expense records being transfered is still unsolved. Palm support advised that the third Party that designed the software for the TX had not yet updated its software to 7. I have XP on another system so I am still functional but I am still searching for a solution to my "TX - 7 - Expense Report" problem. Thank you for your input. Brad

IPod Touch and Windows Vista 64bit

I got a new IPod Touch and when I try to connect it I get a window with this message:
"This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes"
Where is the 64-bit version!!!!!!!!

No 64 bit version yet. I got multiple iPod Touch devices for my family for Christmas last month from the Apple store. I asked in the store if they would work with 64 bit Vista and was told yes. The box says Vista. I'm considering trying to get them to take them all back, since all my machines in my house are Vista 64 bit.
To the people that point at the iTunes compatibility list: well, that's not printed on the side of my iPod box, and was told by the Apple guys it would work.
To the people that say 64 bit Vista doesn't work with many programs: Find me one. As all of my companies 383 apps certfied on it, and everything I run at home works just fine.
It's been out OVER a year (XP 64 bit has been around for YEARS). Come on Apple! Give us a 64 bit driver!

Palm Centro / Windows Vista 64bit

Has anyone figured out how to sync music to a Palm Centro using Windows Vista 64bit? My understanding is that there is not a USB driver for Vista 64. I can already HotSync my Centro using Bluetooth, that works (albeit slow) but can't sync music and as anyone with a Centro knows, removing the memory cards is inconvenient.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Even if there was a way to sync music files to your Centro from a Vista desktop, music files tend to be large and take a long time to sync. The best way to put music files onto your card with any operating system is by dragging & dropping onto the /audio folder on your card with a card reader. Removal of the micro SD card from the Centro isn't all *that* inconvenient. Not like you need to do it very often.

Windows Vista 64bit and Zen, Video Convertsion

We just updated out computer to one with Windows Vista 64bit.
Everything was fine until we tried to convert a .mov file to place it on the Zen. First it said we needed Quicktime ver 7 (which apparently the original video was created with). Tried to install that, to no avail. Turns out Quicktime 7 is not supported under Vista 64bit, according to Apple.
I then found on another message board of people having trouble running iTunes on Vista 64. Use the following link:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
You can then select the 64bit version of iTunes.
After the install the video conversion worked perfectly.
Hope this helps others.
Thanks

Can I run 64bit Vista in Bootcamp?
Yes. Both the computer and OS X are fully 64-bit compliant.
You can install a second video card that does not work with OS X but does work with Windows. Third-party video cards do not work with OS X because they do not have the EFI boot ROM required by OS X. They will, however, work when you boot into Windows. You do not need to convert the Mac Pro to a Windows-only machine which would seem a waste of perfectly good hardware and software.
You can install any SATA hard drive in the Mac Pro. There is no limitation with regard to size. Cache, however, is a feature of the drive and not the computer. Apple does not "qualify" drives for use with the computer.
These questions have been discussed in the Mac Prp fourms so I suggest you search the forums for other discussions of the topics.

ICloud wont work on Windows Vista 64bit

Hey there,
Ive been using iCloud with my iPhone 4, iPad and my MacBook Pro since it came out and it all works perfect.
Now I wanted it to run on my Windows Vista 64bit Desktop PC, to sync with Safari, Outlook etc.
My problem is: Everytime I start iCloud and confirm my username and password, iCloud is just shutting down saying "iCloud is no longer working" (in German: iCloud funktioniert nicht mehr)
I reinstalled it severall times and its always the same error...MobileMe has the same error by the way...Ive searched so long on the web and in other forums but no one had a clue...Hopefully you can help me!
Thanks,
p0ly

Hmmm. No, not exactly, but close enough (for me). Sorrry, in my rush I klutz'd the response. First I had MicroSoft do a clean install of 64 bit Offfice on my 64 bit Vista, then I uninstalled MobileMe, and iCloud, then reinstalled iCloud in that order. Oh...and by the way ... this was on 2 of my Vista machines. My virgin Win 7 machine had no issues at all with 32 bit.
The salient point I (regretably) missed in my first reply was to clean up the all references to Outlook in the registry. The tech tought the problem was related to keys for a (long ago) trial version of Office; Tho that was speculation on his part.
One thing is clear: The Apple tech said MobileMe has been replaced by iCloud and to remove it!
In the process, I learned that each (4) MS tech's stated, "Outlook has no issues, the problem is with Apple." I had to force them to do a clean install ... after failing with 2 techs I took a harder stance - happy I did. One told me they are under pressure to keep their calls under 15 minutes. Uninstall/cleanup/reinstall took ~2 hours.
Appologies p0ly,
tom

The same problem with Windows Vista 64bit-iTouch not recognized by iTunes

Happy Holidays, all. I was just hoping that someone had come up with a fix to the problem with iTouch and Windows Vista Premium (64bit). All I get is a picture of the plug pointing to the iTunes image on my iTouch, can't even see the regular icons yet. The device is not picked up by iTunes, either. Tried reinstalling iTunes, the whole bit. Thought I'd try one more time to get a fix before returning the product. By the way, if you ever finally do get through to Apple Tech Support, they'll act like they have never heard of the problem (at least the guy I spoke with did. He wasn't very nice or very helpful). Anyway, good luck and thanks.

I have I think the same issue. iTunes can see a Nano but not an iTouch. Vista see the device when I plug it in, but no luch with iTunes. I ended up using a old laptop with XP which is slow and out of hard drive space, so I need a fix.
