Palm Zire Support in iSync?

Hi there,
I could not find any specific info here that solved my problem, so sorry if this has been answered, but...
I can't get iSync going with my Zire31.
It once worked on my iBook G4 until one iSync update came out (was it 2.1? I am not sure, but it had been discussed widely on the web). Now, on my MBP 1.83, all updates done, still no luck. Is the support permanently broken or is there a step-by-step solution for it?
I tried reinstalling Palm Desktop, latest version several times, no luck with hotsync neither in Palm Desktop nor iSync. It works with Windows XP with Bootcamp, so there should be no hardware problem.
I now tried to remove every trace of the Palm software from the system to do a clean re-install, but is there anybody who can guide me shame
TIA

Actually, there is nothing wrong with your Zire handheld. I imagine that you reinstalled OS X using the archive and install option, which causes this problem.
To correct the issue, you must reinstall the Palm Desktop 4.2.1 revision D, which is available here:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421revd.html
After doing that but before attempting to synchronize, you must…
• remove your Zire 31 from iSync
• add it once again following the procedures outlined when you select Enable Palm OS Syncing… from the iSync Devices menu

Palm Zire 31 and iSync

I have the Hotsync Manager set up correctly and the information get transferred to the Palm. I receive no error messages. I have it sync all contacts and addresses.
The problem is that it does not include all of the information for the contacts. All of the contacts are listed in the palm, just not al of the information. An example would be displaying only a work address and not a home address. I have downloaded and installed 421 Revd of the Palm Software.
Any suggestions?
I am runnning 10.4.4, iSyc 2.1.1 on a G4 Quicksilver.

Actually—with iSync—that means it's working just fine. This issue is a long-standing shortcoming of the iSync Palm Conduit. Addresses labeled 'home' do not synchronize, and by default, address fields in Address Book records are labeled 'work' - not 'home.' Nice design, eh?
You can work around it by labeling the address you want synchronized 'work' and place any secondary address information in the free-form Note field, which is synchronized.
Or, you can purchase and download the Missing Sync for Palm OS from Mark/Space, which replaces the iSync Palm Conduit with three conduits: Mark/Space Contacts, Events and Tasks. There is no such limitation in the Mark/Space Contacts conduit, and it synchronizes multiple addresses, along with data that iSync does not: IM and URL data, for example.

Can't sync Palm Zire

I am trying to sync my Palm Zire 31 with iSync. I have the 'Apple' conduit installed properly and I have enabled it using Hotsync Manager. When I start iSync and hit the sync icon on the Palm, a sync process starts, but the symbol for the Palm never shows up on the iSync window and the sync times out and fails. I was able to sync with this device before using the Palm conduits and Palm desktop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Frank

It seems that the iSync conduit is found and loaded, but it fails to work. I don't know how to remedy this. Reinstall the conduit? - but where can I find a copy of it? I tried deleting the plist you referred to, but iSync will still not show the Palm after I 'enable Palm syncing' in iSync and enable 'iSync for this Palm' device in HotSync. I did an OS X repair-cleanup (Applejack) before this last attempt.

WINDOWS 8 DID NOT SUPPORT MY PALM ZIRE 72 PROGRAM. LOST ALL DATA.

My new windows 8 computer does not support my Palm Zire 72 software. I had my handheld charged, but unplugged and lost all my data since there was no backup. I have my old hard drive with most of the backup on it. Is there any way I can get this data back. It was YEARS of contacts that I lost. Thanks for your help.

vhk,
Win 8 does support Palm desktop software for Zire 72.
I have been using it for 3 months with no problems.
If you have 64bit Win 8 you need to download and install the Aceeca driver to HotSync.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Palm-OS-WinMo-Hardware-and-Software/64-Bit-Windows7-8-8-1-USB-drivers-f...
I have my Windows UAC (User account Control) set to Never Notify.
I set the Palm Desktop/ Properties/Compatibility to Run this program as administrator
I use the same PD software (4.14e) on Vista, Win 7, and Win 8 ( I HotSync my Zire 72 on all 3 PCs weekly)
When you install the PD software skip check the internet for updates step.
If you can find your Palm desktop user folder on the old hard drive you might be able to copy it and paste it into the palmOne folder when you have Palm Desktop installed on the Win 8 PC.
User folder path for PD 4.1for XP & Vista is: Computer (C drive)/Program Files/ palmOne/User ID (same as Zire 72 last Hotsync)
User folder path for PD 4.1for Win 7 & 8 is: Computer (C drive)/Program Files (x86)/ palmOne/User ID (same as Zire 72 last Hotsync)
If you had a long user ID on the Zire 72 it will be shortened to 5 or 6 characters in the palmOne folder.

ISync/Palm Zire 21 question

Please forgive me if this has been answered. I searched the board and don't see my question answered.
Palm Zire 21: for the first 3 days, everything was fine except everytime I did an iSync, I had to reset the Palm (change the date, fix the time, etc.). I do not use, and hope I don't need to use, the Palm Desktop software.
I have Hot Sync 3.2 (Enabled) and iSync 2.3 (Palm Sync Enabled).
In an attempt to fix this/start from scratch, I got the following message: "In order for iSync to work properly with your Palm OS device, the following HotSync conduits need to be disabled.
Address
Calendar
Contacts
Datebook
etc.
After hitting "OK", those conduits no longer show up in the HotSync>Conduit Settings window (they are all in the Disabled Conduits folder now)
Now iCal and To Do lists sync just fine, but no addresses show up in Palm AND I have to RESET every single time.
Can you please help me understand why this would be so? What is markspace.com and do I need to get the "missing sync" there?
Thank you Thank you Thank you in advance.

Something clearly isn't right. Likely several things, actually.
The contents of your active Conduits folder show no conduit conflicts. A couple of thoughts, though…
You should move the Memo, Memos, Note Pad, Photos and Voice Memo temporarily to the Disabled Conduits folder to eliminate the possibility that any of these (maybe extraneous) Palm conduits are the root of the reset problem. The result will be that your Palm memos will no longer synchronize with the Palm Desktop, but that can be restored by moving the later Memos conduit back into the active folder. If the reset problem is no longer apparent when these conduits are not active, then one issue may be resolved.
Open the HotSync Manager application on your Macintosh and check to see that the following conditions are true:
• HotSync is set to Enabled in the HotSync Controls tab, and
• USB is checked in the Connection Settings tab
What does your HotSync log—as opposed to the iSync log—say about these events?
Have you configured the synchronization parameters for your device in iSync by pressing the device icon labeled with your HotSync name to drop down a pane in which you select various contact and calendaring options? Are both Contacts and Calendars enabled?
When you say, "… the only thing that's now uploading to my Palm is my To Do list" are you sure that in fact, it is to do and not memo information that is being transfered? I ask, because with the iSync Palm Conduit, to do or task data is synchronized by it with iCal, whereas there is no provision in iSync to synchronize memos. And, if iCal task data works, one has to wonder why event data does not synchronize…

Calendar Sync, Palm Zire 31 and Mac OS 10.4.6

We just purchased several Palm Zire 31 handhelds because that model is one on Oracle's list as "certified" to work with Calendar Sync. However, I cannot seem to get it to sync properly to Oracle Calendar. Prior to installing Calendar Sync it synced to my Palm Desktop data just fine. Please point me in the right direction.
Here are all the versions and hardware:
Powerbook G4 running Mac OS 10.4.6
Palm Zire 31 running Palm OS 5.2.8
Palm Desktop software 4.2.1
Oracle Calendar Sync 9.0.4.2.10 (installed on Zire 31)
Palm HotSync Manager 3.2
Oracle Calendar (desktop software) 10.1.1.0.2.694

I don't sync a Zire 31, but I do sync a variety of Treos and Tungsten units with 10.4.x. I sync my Events and Tasks with Oracle and my Addresses with the Apple conduit.
Here are the directions I have come up with:
First, make sure you are using the latest Oracle Palm Sync (sounds like you are)
Second, make sure you have the latest iSync Palm conduit (version 3.0.2 under OS 10.4)
open the iSync application, go to the Devices menu, and choose Enable Palm Sync for this device
Click on the device name. Make sure Contacts is checked, but NOT Calendars
Quit iSync
Open Palm Desktop -> HotSync -> Conduit Settings
choose iSync Conduit and click Conduit Settings. Check the box to enable Palm Sync for device
Open MacintoshHD -> Library -> Application Support -> Palm Hotsync
move Apple into Conduits folder
move Oracle Calendar Address Conduit into Disabled Conduits folder
HotSync, and you should be good to go.

Palm Zire 31 installation on iMac - can't perform initial sync

I am in serious need of someone who has Mac & Palm OS knowledge. I bought a second Palm Zire 31 to replace the my recently deceased Zire 31. I followed instructions, but since I already had Palm installed on my iMac from an earlier Palm M150 and subsequent Zire 31, I am unable to create the first sync between Z31 & my Mac.
I do not want to lose 3+ years of contacts and calendar data which resides on my Mac via previous synchs with my old Palm units.
Should I rename my old Palm installations and try to reload the Palm software CD? If so, how do I do that?
I know more info is needed to help my situation, but ask me and I'll try to answer. - Thanks

You should back up the Address Book and iCal data which is stored on your Macintosh platform, if you are using them—and, using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit—to exchange data with your Palm device.
Then, simply add your new device to iSync using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option, and choose to overwrite the contents of your handheld during the initial event.
If you are instead using the Palm Desktop to synchronize your device, you should be aware that Palm does not provide substantial support for OS X users, though you can browse their technical information library for solutions. Palm has historically been clear the they did not intend to support Mac OS X going forward after the release of OS X 10.4 was anticipated, and have issued only maintenance releases, leaving this responsibility instead to Mark/Space, developers of the Missing Sync for Palm OS.

Palm Zire 31 and Panther

I Just got a cable for my Motorola V 400. And it works great with iSync. Now I found out that my Palm Zire 31 would Sync with my iCal and Address book and I want it to work. I downloaded the Palm Conduit program and it installed fine. I looked in the help and everything but it won't sync. I rebooted my computer and everything and now when I Hot Sync it says it synced but I looked on iCal and Address book and there is no information vise versa on the palm. Another thing is there is no icon on iSync for the Palm.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The issue here is that you've installed the Palm Desktop and your handheld is synchronizing with it, but not with the Address Book and iCal.
If you want to synchronize with the Address Book and iCal, you must install iSync 1.5 and the iSync Palm Conduit 1.2. Those actions will deactivate the standard Palm conduits, which otherwise would conflict with the iSync Palm Conduit, and activate the iSync Palm Conduit.
You can download the iSync Palm Conduit from here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/isyncpalmconduit.html
Is is only intended for use with iSync 1.5 and Mac OS X 10.3.9 and earlier.

Hot sync says Palm Zire has successfully synced but no data (using Windows 7 32 bit)

We have a Win XP desktop on which an older version of Palm Desktop has been working for years and been able to sync with my Palm Zire and my husband's Palm Z22. Now that we have to decomission Win XP desktop have installed Palm Desktop by Access v6.2.2 and Hotsync v7.0.2 on Win 7 32bit laptop.
My husband has a Palm Z22 and has had no problems setting up user and syncing using Palm Desktop by Access when using Windows 7. However, although the Palm Desktop has correctly indentified by device as a Zire and hotsync via cable says it completes successfully no data appears on the Desktop. In reverse, when I add a new contact on Palm Desktop and sync it does not appear on the handheld.
Have tried downloading and installing driver from:
http://aceeca.com/support/sales-support/downloads/product/drivers-32-bit-usb-windows-driver-for-palm...
However, when I followed the instructions provided with teh 64 bit download my laptop said I already had most up to date driver!
Please help as I rely on my Zire and need it to back up successfully.

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!
The Aceeca drivers are ONLY for 64-bit Operating Systems. Since yours is 32-bit, it's not needed.
Try right-clicking on the shortcut for Palm Desktop, then choose "Run as Administrator". See if the data appears.
Another suggestion would be to turn off "UAC" or User Access Control. Control Panel/Users/Turn off UAC.

ICal events being deleted when syncing with Palm Zire 21

I have been syncing my Palm Zire 21 with iCal successfully for over a year with few problems. A few weeks ago I noticed that almost, but not all of the events on both the Palm device and iCal more than three months old were gone. Then, a few weeks later, I noticed that the events suddenly were all back in the iCal application, but not on the Palm device.
But this week, I used HotSync (as usual) to sync iCal and the Palm device, and the events were gone again. Now I am wondering what on Earth I am doing to cause this. I have read the articles about setting up to sync. I double-checked to be sure I have been syncing the way that is outlined in the instructions in the help articles.
I must have missed something vital. I have been backing up my iCal to my .Mac account using Backup. I am thinking that I can restore the iCal events using my last backup. Can I? And how do I keep this from happening again?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) "OS10.4.10" "iSync 2.4" "iCal 2.0.5" "Hotsync 3.1"

Found the issue for me. The events are not deleted, but filtered in the standard calendar view. The iPhone shows everything as it should. Outlook 2003 has all the events to as seen when going to categories view.
It seems that once events pass on the iPhone and then a sync via iTunes to Outlook 2003 the "All Day Event" field is removed from the calendar entry.
Creating another Day/Week/Month View in outlook 2003 that has a filter to only include calendar entries where the "All Day Event" field "does not exist" will allow viewing the "hidden" past events.
Hopefully this will be fixed VERY SOON.

Can I create a java app for my palm zire 71 that uses floating point calc

I am an eclipse user that is looking at studio creator 2 and was wondering if I could create a java app for my palm zire 71. I have read alot about no floating point support in midp... is that true for java on the palm? If so, how does one calculate with floats and doubles to do sqrt functions etc?
Thanks in advance for your time
Dean-O

I looked at netbeans and it does not support floating points in midlets. Not good for palm app if no floating point ability. J2ME supports floating point but in netbeans... is uses midlets and there are no floating points. Now what does one do? Not that dreaded C++
THanks in advance

Trying to save data from Treo 680 on Desktop by Access into a Palm Zire 21

Hello,
I'm no longer using my Palm 680 for a phone but just as a PDA for the address book and date book, so I figured I could use a Palm Zire 21 instead. I only have my data on the desktop now, so I chose to hot sync data from the Desktop into the Z21 PDA. I also clicked on File and created two export files one for my Date Book and one for my Address Book but when I tried to Import them into the PDA the prompt said: they were corrupt? I hope someone can tell me how to fix this problem. Thanks electrikn <><

I had the same problem you did. The standard CD from Palm is V4.2. That version will NOT work with BB Desktop. You can download V4.1.4e from the Palm web site. That will sync with the BB Desktop software. Make a backup of all of your Palm software, uninstall it with Windows Control panel, and then install the downloaded software and restore your Palm data. The data is all in one sub-folder with a name similar to your device name. Here is a web link to the Palm download site:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/palmdesktop.html
Beware: A number of fields DID NOT get copied over using the BB Desktop software. I am now faced with editing 1800 contacts to fix this problem. For example, the Palm Contacts field does not exist in the BB, so it is not imported at all. I also had problems with my Calendar. None of my old history was imported. I wanted to keep my history. I am rather disappointed with the import process. It did work, but left no options to fix these problems and restore my missing data.

Addresses and Calender events won't show up on my Palm Zire 22

I just got an iMac with leopard installed. I have all my addresses and calendar events on my mac and I'm trying to sync it to my Palm Zire 22. I've set it up according the the instructions given at isync help.
It appeared that the sync was successful (my palms says HotSnyc operation complete) and iSync also says Synchronization Complete. But none of my addresses and calendar events showed up on my palm. My palm is still empty. What's wrong? Can someone please help?

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your reply. My HotSync log actually gave me OK on all the items you mentioned. That's why I thought it was weird that the sync didn't work.
However, I tried it again last night, with only the calendar option checked from the iSync dialog and it WORKED! I went back and unchecked the calendar option and checked my "address/contact" option, and it worked too!! Now I have all my calendar events and addresses on my palm. So I guess the solution is that I have to sync and addresses and calendar separately... Not sure if this issue will be solved, but for the time being, at least that what I can do...

Sync Filemaker Pro with Palm Zire 31

Does anyone know how to sync my new version 10 of Filemaker Pro to my Palm Zire 31? The old versions of Filemaker had a Mobile version but the new versions don't support it. Any & all help is appreciated.
Post relates to: Zire 31

You can sync with multiple computers.
Sync the device to the office computer. Install Palm Desktop on the home PC from the CD that you received with the device. In hotsync manager, select handheld overwrites desktop and sync to the XP PC.
The main thing to be aware of is which location has the "Master" database.
Copy and Paste the following address in a browser for an article regarding sync'ing to 2 different computers.

Palm Zire 31 lost all calendar appointments

When I opened the Palm on my PC today, all appointments on the calender were gone. Events with no time at the top of each day still appear. The contacts list is still intact. My portable unit is working but it was last hotsynced a week ago.
Post relates to: Zire 31

I had the same problem--randomly disappearing data--and I emailed Palm about it from this site several weeks ago. They never responded. I finally called Palm tech support (since I'm still within 90 days of purchase, I didn't have to pay for it). The guy I spoke to, who was very helpful, asked me if I'd had a Palm before, which I had; the new machine was a replacement for my old one. He correctly surmised that the problem was the result of my Desktop software having reached maximum data. He had me purge the old date (Pick a date in the calender for which you want to purge all prior entries; go to Tools; pick "Purge Events"; Choose "Delete events older than 1 week" and hit "OK.") It worked, thank God, 'cause I'm fed up with missing appointments!
Maybe this solution is way obvious and you've all tried it with no success, but I thought I'd put it out there, 'cause it worked for me.
