Resetting Palm Zire 71

I have a Palm Zire 71. My two year old daughter hit the reset on the palm. I unfortunately changed computers and I no longer have access to the back up information on my desk top. Is there anything I can do to regain my information? The information stored in my palm dates back to the early 1990's. Needless to say, I'm lost without my information.
Thank You

According to my user guide for the Zire 71, if the battery runs down to the point that the handheld does not operate it stores the data for up to a week. The first time my battery ran down to that point (bought used on eBay), all data is gone. It was only two hours from when I got the low battery message (and turned off the device) until I was able to plug into the charging cradle. When I got the device had had to do a hard reset to clear the previous owners data even though the device arrived with a dead battery. So why do all the post I run into here say that the battery won't save your data yet the user guide says you've got a week?
After the battery charged, I can't get the Palm to hot sync. I had to go through the initial setup with setting date, time, etc. When I try to sync, I get a message that... never mind. I tried to repeat the message and managed to sync to the computer. After the sync, I had to put in the current date and time again. Isn't the Palm supposed to pull that information from the computer?
Also, how do you sync all of the data? So far I have not been able to get note pad files from the palm to the computer. I would also like to know where expenses get synced to. I am using Office 2003 Outlook on this computer.

I bought a Palm Zire 71 (From a yard sale) When I open and close the Camera it will turn off and back on, and it resets itself eraceing all my data, Then the PALM logo will appare, and I will need to redo the clock.
Any thoughts? This only happens (So far) When I Open and close the camera.
Thanks

Given the age of the Zire 71, it would not surprise me that the battery is on its last legs.
There are threads over at Brighthand.com back when the Zire 71 was a relatively new device (4-5 years ago) discussing the ribbon cable. You might find an answer over in that discussion forum.
Reasonably priced repairs can be had at usedpdaparts.com.

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…

I want to read my email from my computer on my Palm Zire 31.

Palm Zire wont Sync with Address Book or iCal

I just got my Dad to switch from his PC to a MacBook and we can't get his Palm Zire 31 to syncronize with Address Book or iCal.
Tiger 10.4.8
HotSync 3.2
iSync 2.3
I went thru the setup articles and compared the settings to the ones on my Powermac and I don't see any differences. The HotSync log gives iSync Conduit errors: Could not create database Address DB, NULL from rendezvous.
This is not impressing him.

Well,
I think we have this handled. After losing all of his data and using an old back up file, we are getting somewhere. I did a hard-reset and then synced it. I have his Palm and MacBook communicating. Now, to get that dumb device to play mp3's like it was supposed to.

I need serious help with frozen palm zire 21 and hotsync.

Hi, My palm zire 21 is frozen! It is an older one, It froze then I reset on back and about 2days later it came back on, I don't know where my hotsync disc is to download! Then it froze again(maybe to full?) I need my info off of it, I would like to hotsync it to computer and then get another device, but can't right now. I have been online trying to figure out how to download something for it, but can't seem to figure it out! It beeps if I try to tap anything on it! If you have any suggestions let me know!AC

If the device will not function post a soft reset then a hard reset is needed. This will erase all data. There isn't anything to download that will make a non functioning Zire 21 start working.

Bluetooth on palm zire 71 with sd card

Thank you for your help

First try a Soft Reset - that's always the first thing to try with any Palm problem. If that doesn't work, you're headed for a Hard Reset, and erasure of your Palm. Be sure to do a complete backup before attempting this!

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.

Is Palm Zire 21 Software compatible with Palm Pre Plus Cell Phone?

I have an older Palm Zire 21. I love all the features. However, now I am trying to consolidate my Windows (vista) Calendar with my Palm and it is not compatible. I thought I would purchase the newer Palm Pre plus Cell Phone in order to have all of my contacts and calendars on my phone as well as my laptop. Though no one can seem to answer my question: Can I import my contact and calendar from my Zire 21 to the Palm Pre Plus?
Many thanks to who can answer this for me. I greatly appreciate your time and assistant.

webOS (the new Operating System) from Palm does not natively sync to your computer, but to the "cloud" (online servers).
Palm offers a program that will read your Palm Desktop information, and transfer it to Google. This is only a one-time transfer, and not a sync solution. See this thread.

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.

Palm Zire 21 hot sync

Installed Palm desktop 6.2 on Windows 7 64 bit machine. Downloaded USB drivers that installed correctly per the forum. Syncing on Palm Zire 21 log says it successfully completed but the Palm desktop software has no addresses, calendar, memos or to do list. Any ideas?

The Zire may be too old for 6.2.2, but there is a patch that can work.
Go here: http://www.PimlicoSoftware.com/legacy.html and download "PalmHotsyncSetup"
When you clicked on the user in Palm Desktop, was there another listed?

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.

Need help finding a Palm Zire 72S wall charger

Does anyone know where I can find a wall charger (ac) that is reliable with a Palm Zire 72S?
Thanks for your help!
Post relates to: Zire 72

Radio Shack in the US has a charging system called iGo that has a basic charging brick with different tips for different devices. The tips adjust the correct polarity and voltage. I use it to charge my cell phone, GPS, and Palm TX and Zire72.
