Sony Clie problems

My son-in-law gave me his Sony Clie.  I used the installation disc that accompanied the device.  It installed a different version of desk top. (I already had the most recent version of desktop on my computer).  Now I cannot access any of my data.  Help, please.

Hello Montague and welcome to the Palm forums.
 Sony did things differently than Palm.  You may not be aware, but Sony has stopped making the Clie some years ago and the version of Palm Dekstop that you installed from the Clie software CD is not compatible with the version for your current Palm.
 I would suggest that you reinstall Palm Desktop from the CD that came with your Palm-braded device.  I would try just running the installer right over the top of whatever you have installed now to try and preserve your data.

  • Sony Clie NZ90 and Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)

    Good afternoon!
    I have done my best to Search and read through many of the Sticky and normal posts that might relate to trying to get my Clie to talk to my new HP laptop, on both this forum as well as others.  I think that there may still be a couple of things to try; however, I would be very appreciative if one or more of you can help shorten the process for me, since I've already invested a dozen hours or so on this issue and I'm a bit tired and frazzled.
    - My Clie came with Palm Desktop v4.x.  In its HotSync Manager or elsewhere, I do not see a bluetooth setting.  I'm wondering if that it's only in Palm Desktop v6.x?  If so, is Palm Desktop v6.x compatible with Sony Clie NZ90 (i.e., can I upgrade to v6.x without losing all of my data)?  If not, is there any way I can do a bluetooth HotSync using Palm Desktop v4.x?  Both the Clie and my HP laptop have bluetooth.
    - My new HP laptop is a 64-bit machine.  I have tried installing the Sony Clie / Palm Desktop software from both the regular as well as the x86 Program Files directories, and I get an immediate incompatibility notice, so I am unclear as to how to get Windows 7 to recognize the Clie and Palm Desktop even using the Aceeca drivers.  Running under Windows 7 is not critical, since I have a Windows XP Virtual Machine that seems to work well, but I figured I should ask in case I was missing something obvious.
    - As I said previously, I have the Windows XP Virtual machine up and running.  I installed the Sony Clie / Palm Desktop software with no problem, and I can use the Palm Desktop v4.x.  However, when I try to HotSync via USB, the Windows XP Virtual machine tries to load drivers, and can't find them.  In the past (on previous Windows XP machines), I have just had to specifically point the wizard to (browse to) the NZ90 drivers, and they would load.  This failed on my laptop.  I tried the Aceeca drivers, and they, too failed.  Going to the Device Manager, I see that it's identified as a virtual machine device, rather than seeing it as a Palm Handheld device.  Could this be the problem, and if so, is there a workaround?
    - Is there anything else I'm missing at this point that can get me up and running?
    Thank you in advance for all of your patience and expertise!

    Something may be awry with the special registry permissions on the My Music folder, Just. I think the iTunes installer looks for those in order to determine just where the default location of My Music is on a given computer.
    But since this is a first-time install, the situation should be pretty simple to recover from.
    Hold down the shift key when you go to launch iTunes. In the dialog box that comes up, select "Create library" and put the library where you please.
    Probably a good idea after doing that to try launching iTunes again, just to make sure that it is still finding the iTunes folder. But by default, next time you open iTunes (after creating a new library), it should try to open the library in the location you created the library in.

  • Sony Clie & iSync

    I'm not having a problem, but I have a question. Up until recently, when I would sync my Sony Clie, iSync would open and it would open Palm Hotsync, then it would sync with iCal and Address Book. Now iSync no longer opens, just Hotsync. I'm wondering what happened to iSync, is it no longer necessary for syncing with the Palm OS? I didn't change anything that I'm aware of, except I have upgraded the OS, now 10.4.4.

    I honestly don't know how data could be synchronized between your device and either [or both] iCal and the Address Book with iSync not running, or the iSync Palm Conduit not enabled. They are the software 'mechanism' by which data is transfered to and from those applications.
    The HotSync Manager still runs when you press the HotSync button and will execute any properly configured conduits it finds in the active Conduits folder, including the iSync Palm Conduit. Your HotSync log would tell you more about what is going on - the iSync log is almost useless since the release of iSync 2.

  • Double birthdays with Sony Clie

    My problem is that if I sync my Sony Clie activating the iCal-option "Show birthday calender" I have all birthday entries twice on my handheld. If I tick off "Show birthday calender" in iCal and snyc, they appear only once on the handheld but of course I can't see them on iCal any more... Any suggestions? Thx
    iBook 1.07 GHz PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Sony CLIE T625C

    If you synchronize with a Birthday calendar enabled on your Macintosh desktop or portable computer and have also enabled the Palm contacts database on your Clié to show birthdays, when you synchronize, both birthday entries will show up in the Calendar database on your Palm device. This occurs because the data is coming from two different applications, but is not perceived as being the same data.
    To avoid this problem, disable either the Birthday calendar on your computer (which you have already tried) or disable the birthdays feature on the handheld.

  • Conversion of Palm Desktop Data (for Sony Clie)

    Is there any software available that will convert my Palm Desktop (for Sony Clie) data to a format that can be uploaded to an iPhone (3G)?

    I believe PocketMirror from http://www.chapura.com should do just what you need. It will move everything from your Palm to Outlook, which iTunes can then work with. Hope it helps!

  • Can't Sync with Sony Clie with OS 10.4.6

    Hi,
    Has Apple dropped compatability with the Sony Clie (Palm)?
    All I get with my G5 2GHz DP is a notice that files (Palm) are locked when attempting to sync -- and the link disconnects when uploading files to the Sony Clie using Palm OS 4.2.1.
    However, I can upload the files on my 667 MHz PowerBook running OS 10.4.5.
    Cheers,
    John Kramar

    You need to get Missing Sync for Palm OS from MarkSpace.com. It'll let you sync your Clie with your Mac. I use it with my TJ37 and it works perfectly.

  • Uploading calendar from sony clie

    How do I get calendar data, address data, etc. from my Sony Clie to the ipod touch without typing everything manually?  The Clie itself is dead so the files are on my PC with Vista operating system.

    Can you sync the Clie data to someprogam that the iPod can sync with?
    Can you export the the data  and then import the data in a program that the iPod can sync with.  This usually applies to Address book.

  • Please how do i? (sony Clie PEG-SJ22 )

    Hello, this is my first post here. Im looking forward to learning something since for the life of me I am clueless.
    I bought this hand held(sony Clie PEG-SJ22 ) cheap on eBay because i wanted to read text files and PDF files from my laptop
    while on the go.
    i am tryinh to connect the palmtop and the desktop trough Infra Red and i have read all the instructions and tried to fallow them to the T but i get nada.
    I installed the palm os software and hot link software in my win XP laptop but i have proven that trying to figure it out on my own is just giving me a headache.
    can someone point  me to some help reading.  Do i have to do some extra set up on my lap top?
    the hot link software manual says it configures automatically but nothing.
    i also tried to set up a new infra red conection in my laptop but nothing.
    i hope someone can help me  thanks

    Hello!
    First do make sure you do have infrared on your laptop, its not exactly a standard anymore. 
    The Palm Desktop defaults to the use of USB so with IR, some setup is required on your pc.  On the PDA, just set it to Local and connect via IR.  On the PC, go into the hotsync manager and put a check in for Loca/Serial.  Afterwards in the hotsync manager, go into Settings and hit the Local tab to choose the correct COM port.  Might have to do trail and error with the COM ports pending if another application is using one.  Afterwads, line up you pda to the IR port on your computer and give a try!

  • Synk With sony CLie?

    I have a Sony Clie Peg NX70V and cradle. Is there a way i can make it do the following with my MBP, sofar i am unsuccesful.
    Sync Memos with Palm desktop
    Sync Programs with Palm Desktop
    Sync Addresses with adress book
    Sync Datebook and To-Do with iCal
    Without any non-free software, i could buy The Missing Sync if I had to but what are the advantages. Also, when i check an iCal event on the computer will it check on the palm when i Sync?
    Xelapond

    Try Missing Sync. If it doesn't work, you don't have to pay for it. If it does work, the clear advantage is that it works.
    I am a big fan of Missing Sync, but I use Palm devices. As for what other advantages Missing Sync brings to the table, the best way to find out is to check http://www.markspace.com

  • Sony Handycam Problem

    Last week I bought a sony dcr-dvd403 to videotape my daughter's first birthday party, which is now tomorrow!!!
    It is a mini DVD, not a mini DV. The recording and finalizing go fine. The video plays on the camera. Then, I load the disc into the top loading drive I bought specifically to load the mini discs on my computer, and boom - just a bunch of files the computer can't open... The file extensions are .BUP, .IFO, AND .VRO.
    I think the .VRO is the one where the video footage resides. Does anyone know how to convert it. After hours on the phone with sony (who doesn't promise that the discs will play in anything other than the camera itself) says to call Apple. Apple, said to check the discussion boards. You guys are my only hope! Thanks,
    Liz

    I picked this up from a "dvspot" article by Jim Keller, and have used it successfully. By the way, I have abandoned my Sony mini-DVD camera and bought the new HD-HC1 high def camcorder because it records to digital video tape and has Firewire output, which avoids this problem. Keller's solution:
    "So how do you extract the video? On my Mac, I used a program called OpenShiiva, an open source VOB-to-MPEG4 converter (there are other products like this out there). This turned the 13 VOB files into 13 MP4 files, which may be as far as some people need to go. However, Final Cut has no interest in reading these, so I had to open the MP4 files in QuickTime, and export them into DV format. Then I was able to import them into Final Cut, where they still needed to be split up into separate clips. I should add that Final Cut can read VOB files, but the sound does not get imported for some reason.
    To tie things back into what I said much earlier, these DVD camcorders seem to be a "shoot and watch" system. Shoot, maybe delete a few things (assuming you're using the DVD-RW discs), and finalize. Serious video editors may want to steer clear of DVD camcorders because of all these added steps."
    Amen.

    I can't import my photos from my digital camera (Sony) to my iPad, this problem is recent. I have imported photos without  problem a problem before. Is this problem due to the IOS 6 update? How can I fix it?

    I have the same problem and apple needs to fix this - but in the mean time you can manually select the vertical photos then "import - import selected" and you can get your verticals. We need a better fix. THIS IS A BUG!
