Palm won't hotsync anymore. Please help!

My palm won't hotsync with my computer anymore. I have re-loaded a couple of times, but still nothing. When I try, the computer makes 3 sharp beeps, but no hotsync, and eventually the palm device gives me the message " The connection between your device and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again."
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

I am far from an expert on this , but I had the same problem with my Palm TX.  I have found a temporary solution.
If your hot sync icon has disappeared from yoyr tray in lower right hand corner of computer screen AND
when you open Palm Desktop and go to Hotsync...the options (custom, view log, etc) are greyed out and not selectable)..When the hotsync icon from the tray disappears (you can no longer hotsync by pressing button or through the desktop software).  Try the following temporary fix.
Create a HotSync icon on your desktop.  To re-activate the HotSync tray icon, just double click on the hotsync desktop icon and the hotsync tray icon will re-appear, as well as the greyed-outicons under the Palm desktop hotsync option will become active once again.  You should now be able to hotsync.  However, the problem keeps re-occuring, and needs fixing often, which is why I leave the HotSync icon on my desktop to make life simple.  I do not know of a permanent fix.

  • The 2.1.3 Software update won't work, the new version of iTunes won't download. Please help.

    For several months now I have not been able to find a solution to either of these two problems. When I have the Apple Software Update program open and I click update, it loads for a second and then goes back to the usual page saying to update. It will not update. I have also tried, multiple times, to install the new current version of iTunes and that won't work either. I've tried to repair iTunes by going to Control Panel > Programs > Repair and it still won't work. Please help because I'm trying to download a new app but it requires the new version of iTunes. I am using a Windows Vista and I'm this is for my 4th generation iPod touch.

    Did you try simply downloading the latest version of iTunes using the link below and then installing it on top of the older version?

    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />

    My iPod touch 4G will not charge. I charged it and when I got it off charge it was really hot but showed it was fully charge then when I turned it on again the battery was dead. Now it won't charge. Please help thanks!

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    I suspect you have a hardware problem.

    Nope. I do the same exact thing. If you have DVD's and blu-rays you can't download a free application called Handbrake. You can set it to Apple TV2 automatic format and they will come out as playable m4v's that can play I'm iTunes. All you have to do is turn on Home Sharing in both iTunes and your Apple RV and you'll be good to go!

    - Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you find the apps using the Spotlight search on the iPod? Maybe you just can't find them
    - If you can find them you can reset the screen layout by go to Settings>Genera.Reset>?Reset Screen Layout.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • Satellite m300 won't boot! please help!

    Hi,
    I've got a bit of an issue here.. I have a Satellite m300.. a white one..
    and it won't boot... I've had this very issue before but it turned out to be an external USB HDD that stopped it from booting up but now even with everything removed it still won't boot.
    And it was fine until yesterday, it just gave up.. I am away from home for work so I have all the work stuff and unfortunately without my recovery cd, but my guess is that it won't even read it..
    So this is what happens..
    turn on..
    all light come on.. including power and all the white lights around the keypad..
    and then maybe 5 sedconds later caplock and numlock(?) green lights flash..
    then it's a dead still.. no HDD activities or sound.. just dead quite..
    the screen remains black blank through out..
    it seems to get stuck here before reaching the post screen.
    i thought the power button usually took more than just a push to turn off? it instantly swithces off with a single push of the power button..
    I think this laptop is like on sleep or something and can't seem to wak up.. maybe?
    And it has vista.
    Please help.. I have some important work files I need to recover at least before formatting..
    and that has to wait till I get home which won't be for a month or so..
    which also lets me take it back for warranty as well..
    any help appreciated!!!
    cheers,
    Min

    Can also be that the motherboard fails to initialize the vga AGP card.
    Turn off all power incl. AC .
    Disconnect all devices from motherboard : AGP/memory/drives/floppy/USB/PCI cards etc. take out the 20pin & 4pin PSU connectors and reset the motherboards
    cmos .
    Assemble PSU connectors ,only one DIMM module and graphics card and turn it on and se if you get a post .
    Just removed all components. I reset the CMOS. I then reconnected the 20pin and 4pin, 1 stick ram, and the video card (no ide devices, no mouse, keyboard cd drives) and the monitor doesn't show up. I also tried another monitor so it isn't the monitor.
    Could it have a bad AGP port?
    Any other suggestions? I am thouroughly stumped. Also the power and reset buttons don't work no matter what configuaration I put the front panel connectors in. The Power LED is lit up and it doesn't work and the reset light is off and it doesn't work.
    Also noticed one of my fans connected to one of the two other fan pins on the motherboard isn't working.
    What a nightmare.

  • Itunes cannot find my library anymore please help

    Please help!!
    I recently installed a new internal hard drive and my itunes library was installed on an external hard drive and when i rebooted my pc after the new drive was installed my drive letters changed and itunes could no longer locate my library.
    I had around 38,000 tracks in the library along with aps etc and i cannot seem to locate or load that library anymore.
    I have tried renaming all the drives (internal and external) to the drive letters they were before i put the new drive in but it has made no difference.
    System restore doesn't seem to fix it and when itunes opened after the reboot it started adding some tracks but not all.
    Please Please Help

    Search your drives for files of the type *.itl
    When you have identified the one that should be your library hold down the shift key and click the icon to start iTunes. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the file you found earlier.
    If your library was all properly self-contained then "It just works"TM otherwise post back with the details of the path to your media folder and I'll show you how to fix things.

  • Laptop won't start? Please help!!!

    Hello,
    When my computer was left uncharged, it died. And it wouldn't turn back on, as strangely it wouldn't charge (the light on the charger just didn't light up).So I tried and tried for a couple of days and nothing worked. I though it was my charger so I bought a new one but that wasn't the problem.
    So I took it to Apple and they tried charging it at the time and it worked just fine. It magically turned on ?!!
    Thus I took my laptop back today as according to the people in Apple my laptop was perfectly fine.
    Today when my laptop was 100% charged I took the charger out and started watching a movie. Suddenly it died and the same thing is happening
    It just won't charger. And since it won't charge it won't turn on....
    PLEASE HELP ME

  • Entourage won't start..Please help

    I'm trying to open Entourage and it just won't open. The "E" in the dock bounces twice then nothing. Word opens fine. Yesterday I did a software update.I have 10.4.8. I tried reinstalling Entourage but still won't open. Tried opening in Safe Mode too. No luck. Have not tried reinstalling OSX yet.
    Here are the events that lead up to this--
    1) Did software update.
    2) Installed Powerpoint from disk to view a document. After install "PP" would not open. Just got the warning "The application PowerPoint shut down unexpectedly....etc, etc"
    3) Installed "TonicPoint Viewer" to view PP document.
    4)Tried to open Entourage. Entourage won't open.
    5) Reinstalled Entourage from disk. Still won't open.
    If someone has any ideas, please help. I have lots of business stuff I just can't afford to loose.
    Also, does anyone know where the email is stored on the hard drive? I have looked and can't find anything. If I can't get Entourage to start I might be able to at least get the data.
    Thanks in advance for any and all help.
    G4 OSX 10.4.8
    Office:MAC v.X
    Entourage version 10.0.0

    Covered quite a bit over on the Google Entourage forum:
    http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage/topics
    And at MacOSXhints
    Basically:
    Open Terminal
    Type: sudo update_prebinding -root / -force
    Wait for it to complete, takes a few minutes
    Exit terminal.
    Should work fine now
