Palm Vx meets Windows 7 64 Bit - I want to HotSync my old Palm Vx's with my new desktop PC. Anybody know whether this will work out?

I have 2 old but beautiful Palm Vx's that still serve me well. I have a new Windows 7 - 64 bit desktop PC and cannot get them to HotSync. The new desktop has no COM3 port and the serial to USB adapter cable I have doesn't help. Does anyone have any ideas how to help this May/December relationship work out?
Post relates to: Palm Vx

UPDATE: My problem seems to have disappeared!  I am mystified.
        Fearing I might lose all important Vx data, I switched to an old XP desktop (32bit) and installed Palm Desktop/USB to RS232 adaptor. After some fiddling with port settings all went well and was relieved to make a backup on the old machine.
        This morning, returned to the new machine (Sony VAIO with Windows 7 Premium (64bit) and ABC Products adaptor (uses Prolific driver) in a more relaxed state of mind. Powered-up tried a hotsync; then started Palm Desktop and all was there and visible.
        I can only suggest that the full 'power-down and restart' overnight must have performed a necessary re-initialisation.
       I now subscribe to those indicating that Palm Desktop 4.1.4 can work with Windows 7 (64bit). Note that Windows 7 Premium does not support XP emulation.
       I hope my report will encourage others who wish to hang on to old Palm PDAs.
======================================================================
I note many others have trodden this path and it still seems that Palm, or latest acquirer, wants to keep out of it!
My XP laptop just recently died and I now have a Windows 7 replacement with no RS232 port. I have been trying to get linked up via the USB port, using an adaptor, so that I can have a backup for much valuable info on my trusty Palm Vx.
It is very frustrating; almost works but not the final step. I can see the files have transferred from Vx to Palm Desktop 4.1.4. (using MS Notepad) but when I view using Desktop, it does not "see" them. The Notepad view reveals "padding" characters in the files. I am confident that this cannot be attributed to the USB/RS232 adaptor or related software; I believe it to be the Desktop software.
Would Desktop 6.2 be a viable approach to try with a Vx? Are there any third-party patches for 4.1.4 to overcome the transfer problem. I am perplexed to see that others seem to have made it work on 64 bits.

    I bought an Airport Express from a supplier who told me I'd need at least iOS 5.4 on my iPad.  My first generation iPad is apparently up to date but the iOS is only 5.1.1.  Before I unpack the device I want to know whether it will work with this earlier version.

    Apple says that a minimum of iOS 5.0 is required. See the support document below. Look for Requirements on the left hand side of the page about half way down.
    Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later.

    Based on what you've posted, your computer does not have the right tuner.   You need a QAM tuner to record locals from FiOS, or a CableCard tuner to record all local and cable channels from FiOS.
    QAM tuners to record local channels only
    This requires Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250
    SiliconDust HDHomeRun (info on a sale)
    CableCard tuner to record local and cable channels
    This requires Windows 7 + one CableCard from Verizon for $3.99/mo
    ATI TV Wonder Digital PC CableCard Tuner (records one channel at a time) -- $200-$250 on ebay
    Ceton MOCUR tuner (records four channels at a time) -- coming in early 2010 for $400-$600
    Make sure your computer has Windows 7 Home Premium (or better) installed.   That's necessary to support CableCard tuners.

    i want to buy a iPad2 to go along with my mac desktop and iPhone, do I have to repurchase the same apps. to put on my iPad?

    You can use most of the apps that you bought for your iPhone on the iPad as well. Sometimes the apps are not optimized for the iPad's larger display. Sometimes the apps are limited to the iPhone and you must purchase a separate iPad version. As with your iPhone, Mac apps cannot be used on an iOS device.

  • I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

    I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

    First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware).  Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
    For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths.  For example:
    Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
    The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content. 
    It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
    file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
    It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad.  In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
    Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result.  Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
    I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind.  The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID.  When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data.  If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account.  If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

    iPhones purchased from the online Apple Store in Australia will be unlocked. To the best of my knowledge, unlocked iPhone are not available from the physical Apple Stores at this time, though you can call the Apple Store in Melbourne and inquire.
    Note that the warranty on iPhones is not international, so if you purchase an iPhone in Australia and it needs service, you would have to ship the iPhone to someone in Australia to take or send to Apple for service and then ship it back to you.
    Regards.
