Sync cable stuck in Palm TX

Just got my wife a new Palm TX for Christmas. Everything went great until she tried to remove the USB Sync cable from the handheld. I's locked in there solid!
There are no buttons on the side to release it; the hotsync button is at the front......
HELP!!!!

Thanks all. I tried the rocking motion and it came out (after putting all of my 6'4" and 240lbs behind it)! In looking at the plug, the two retaining tangs have a 90* angle on them which explains why it won't come out. I tried bending them to make the angle larger (so it holds without locking) but they are too small to get at. So,I guess I'll call Palm and see if I can get replacement as I think they shouldn't be like this.

Sync cable for my Tungsten E2

I just got my new Tungsten E2 handheld unit. the directions say to plug in the sync cable and the power cable to charge it for 3 hours before setting it up, but the slots for the sync cable takes up all of the slots when I plug it in and there is no hole left for the power cable. did I get the wrong sync cable sent to me??
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

The Setup Guide for the E2 shows the two plugs which are included with new E2 units. The USB cable is a two-prong plug, and the A/C cable is a skinny plug which fits into its own slot on the right. Is your E2 brand new?
The older plugs which came with my older T5 had the USB and power connectors built into one plug, as I recall.

Missing usb sync cable

Hi, my neighbor upgraded to the Sprint Evo and I bought her Palm Treo 700wx for Sprint. Her USB sync cable was damaged or something; she didn't have it. Do I need that to sync with my work computer, or can I sync "wirelessly" using the exchange server ?
Sorry if this is dumb; i am totally new to smartphones

Your email, contacts, calendar, and tasks can sync over the air with Exchange. Pictures, music, etc., do not. Did the 700wx have Bluetooth? That might provide an alternate way to sync those local items.

Unable to charge from sync cable

After installing activesysnc 4.5 I can't seem to make my phone charge from the usb sync cable. I know there is power coming through the cable because it would charge my Palm 700p through the palm desktop software. Is there a setting that I just can't find? I've installed the Palm software and installed and reinstalled activesync 4.5.
Thanks

if anyone knows, please help me out.

You can find the sync cable for your m125 by doing a Google search. I found this site that has them for under $10.00.

Possible to buy replacement sync cable?

I have a Treo 680, my 5th Palm device over the years. We recently moved house and it seems I've lost my sync cable in the move. I have the power cable but not the adjacent wire with USB at one end and the Treo connection at the other. Is it possible to get a replacement for it?

Amazon.com has them for as little as one penny!!

Hot sync button turns off palm

I have a new Palm TX and when I push the button to perform a Hot Sync it turns the palm off, I've tried a soft and hard reset to no avail.
Post relates to: Palm TX

Try activating Hotsync by pressing the onscreen button instead of the one on the cable. If it works then most likly the cable is bad.

Hot Sync gets stuck at 3 of 13

I have Vista and have done all the downloads, 6.2 and 7.02. It still gets stuck at Date Book. I have changed the conduit to handheld overwrites PC. The calendar gets updated but not the date book on the PC. It used to a few months ago. I do not use email on the phone, only for calls and date book. One thing the log said was PC =0 handheld = 64864. Could there be too much data somewhere that stops the hot sync? Thanks.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Does the sync get stuck or is the data not being updated? If the hotsync hangs-up on 3 of 13, it usually indicates database corruption and DBfixit needs to be run to find the corruption (see the link in the previous post). Do you need to go to task manager and kill the application when it gets stuck?
I see where you stated you have 2 different usernames,
Also, the first file under Palm OS in my documents is named Alexis0 is that the file I should save to the desktop as well as change the name to the current name of the phone AlexisH.
Do you have these 2 different usernames in Palm desktop? If you do you, make sure you are sync'ing to the username that is listed in hotsync on the phone. Go to hotsync on the phone and look in the upper right cornmer of the screen. This will display the username you are sync'ing to in Palm desktop. Is AlexisH the username you are sync'ing to in Palm desktop? If not, then the changes you make on the device will not be sync'ed to Alexis0
If you want to clean uninstall and start again, use the export function in Palm desktop to backup your data. Here is a procedure below to backup your data;
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
Another option is to copy the username folder in the Palm folder on the C drive of your PC. With this backup you can only use this folder in the same version you curently have installed.

I bought a ipod touch second generation from someone at work and it wont sync with itunes. i am using vista on a pc,and i have reloaded itunes 5 times and it still wont sync. i think it is a problem with vista as i had my ipod and sync cable checked outok

i bought a ipod touch from a coworker and it wont sync up with my pc. i have reloaded itunes 5 times, checked my security which is allowing it through and had the ipod and sync cable checked at a local store. i think it has somthing to do with vista operating system, the ipod does not show up in devices and it continues to beep when it is plugged into the usb. this is my first ipod and so far am very frustrated .

Check these tips:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

When syncing after recent update, sync is stuck at "Step 4 of 4" "Waiting for changes to be applied" and will not complete, even after hours. How can this be fixed?

I completed the most recent software update for both iTunes and iPhone recently. I am now trying to sync my iPhone to add newly purchased audiobooks and the sync remains stuck at "Step 4 of 4" with the message "Waiting for changes to be applied" I have tried everything to correct this. When sync is cancelled a failure to sync message is generated. Any ideas????

Alright, so I reset my computer and suddenly it then recovered. Other times it wouldn't recover after resetting the computer, so I have no idea how it happened. I just restarted the computer lots of time and finally it worked.
Okay, back to square one. Now to transfer music, I tried my previous acknowledgable solutions but they didn't work. The iPod touch does not feature a hard-disk mode, and windows media player doesn't support iPods.
I've tried multiple programs to transfer music but none of them work properly and keep giving me error codes. So my iPod still gets stuck at Step 4: Waiting for changes to be applied or whatever it said.
Thanks in advance ._. (Please help)
p.s - Apple is useless. If I don't get steady answers tomorrow I'm going to end up calling them and get this problem fixed first hand. Second hand? I don't know, over the **** phone.
