Sync'ing a Palm Zire 72 with Windows 7 (Home Premium 64)

Ok I am probably a dinasour but have relied on my Zire 72 for years for all the contacts and calendar items I don't want to keep on my phone but now cannot get it to sync with Windows 7. I never used Vista, migrated straight from XP to Windows 7 but have read all the threads on Vista and hot sync'ing. I know I apprently can't use the direct USB cables as there are no 64 bit drivers from palm for this so I purchased the recommended USB-1510 IRDa adaptor. Even though Cables Direct does not seem to have Windows 7 drivers, Windows 7 appeared to recognize and accept the Vista 64 drivers and the adaptor seems to be recognized. I am using Hotsync 4.1.0 and Palm Desktop 4.1.4. Have tried everything, soft resets of the Palm, reboots of both the computer and palm, reinstallation of the software, etc and cannot get these to sync. I either get the message that the connection cannot be established or once or twice that the port was being used by another process.
Does anyone have any suggestions before I competely give up. Many thanks!

I have hotSync Manager 6.0.1 and while the Zire 72 will NOT sync over the USB cable it will sync over a Bluetooth connection. You need to have a Bluetooth interface either built into the computer or a Bluetooth USB plug in device. Then you have to set up the channel by making both devices visible to other devices once they recognize each other you have to follow the dircetions in Windows 7 for making it a trusted device. After they are trusted devices they will sync over Bluetooth which is slower that using a straigth USB cable but it works.
This is also the way you can sync a Palm LifeDrive and HP Ipaq with SW on Windows 7. Yes I have all three and this was the easiest way so I could make them sync up suing the same interface. The Lifedrive and HP Ipaq can also sync over WIFI but this was easier for me since all the devices use the same interface, i.e. no remembering special setups.
I am running WIn 7 Home Premium and I am using Palm Desktop Application 4.1.4 for all Palm syncs. I have 2 Zire 72 Palms and 1 Life drive. They all come up in that Palm Desktop Application allwoing me to copy things from one to the other.

Laserjet 4240n driver does not work with windows home premium 64 bit

I recently was given a HP laserjet 4240n by my employer to use in a remote office. I am using a Windows version 7 home premium 64 bit laptop. I have tried the HP install wizard - no support for this printer. I have tried downloading the "correct" driver - but that doesn't work either.
I assume that there is something wrong but I have spent hours and still haven't been able to figutre out what is wrong and how to fix it!

Problem syncing via wifi palm tx with windows xp pro

I have had my palm tx for a couple of years and had no trouble syncing to my xp pro machine until today. I just got a new wifi dsl-router/modem from embarq (it is a ZyXEL P-660H-D1). I had no problems with my former wifi dsl-router/modem (D-Link DSL-G604T). They are both 802.11b/g. I have enabled b and g on the new router.
The Palm TX does connect to the new router using wpa and I can surf to see web pages. However, it does not "see" my desktop on the network. I've made no changes to my desktop network configurations. (The desktop is visible on the network when I use my lapto). I have checked all the settings in my palm tx and my hotsync manager on the pc. I have tried connecting by putting the desktop's IP address in the Palm, but nothing works. Can anyone think of any setting in the router I might change to resolve this?
FYI I can sync using the cable, but I really prefer using wifi for syncing.
Thanks for any help you can give. (I'm new to this community, sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I searched and couldn't find an answer.)

Hello darthemma, welcome to the Palm Support Community!
It sounds like you have the settings correct. I can only suggest you make "Static IP's" for both the computer and TX in your router. That will assign the same IP address to each device permanently.
Here's my standard "Wifi Hotsync" help file. Hope it helps!
Wifi HotSync with a TX
1. On your PC, locate the HotSync Manager (little HotSync icon in the lower right tool tray on a Winbox). Click on it and check off "Network", then click again and select Setup.
2. Pick the Network tab up top in the window that opens, and find your HotSync name in the list. Make sure it's checked.
3. Tap the TCP/IP button, and look at the IP address listed for "Primary PC Address". Write it down.
4. Turn on Wifi on your Palm and connect to your router.
5. On your Palm, select the HotSync program and tap the word "Network" above the HotSync icon in the middle of the screen. Below it, enter the IP address you wrote down in step 3. (Include the periods!).
6. Tap the big HotSync icon above the IP address, and hold on!
7. If you're holding on, and nothing happens try a wired HotSync, then try the Wifi HotSync again. Sometimes, information has to transfer from your PC after you check off the Network option. Also, be sure to watch for any Firewall activity asking you about "HotSync.exe is trying to access your hard drive" etc. You may need to set a rule to allow it.

Can I change the OS of Touchsmart 610 from Windows Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro?

I have 610 1100me system loaded with Windows Home Premium 64 bit. We bought it from Dubai and is in use in Pakistan. It started giving problems after few weeks of use. Its' hard disk makes noise and sometimes, system could not find boot disk. Most of the times blue screen of death and hanging issues. Any idea about this issue and how to fix it? My observation is that the culprit is hard disk!
Also, can I change its OS to Windows 7 Pro or ultimate (32 or 64 bit)? Where can I find all drivers for Pro or Ultimate?
Many thanks for your valueable advice.
Regards,
KK

Hi,
Nearly nothing change interms of drivers required for Windows 7 (HP, Pro, Ultimate) unless you switch from 64 to 32 bit. You can reuse your current HP 64 bit drivers for 64 bit W7 Pro or Ultimate.

Photo Shop Elements 5 Problem with Windows 7 Premium Home Edition

I have been using PSE 5 on a laptop with Windows 7 Premium Home Edition and everything worked fine. I just got a new desktop running Windows 7 Premium Home Edition and I loaded PSE 5 on it and I can't get it to open up. The new desktop has a 64 bit processor and this is the only difference as far as I know. Has anyone else encountered this problem and were you able to overcome it?

Thank you for your response to our query. We already have the patch.

PSE12 download difficulties with Windows Home Basic Vista SP2

After 4 attempts and 4 failures and equally 4 uninstall operations, I have yet to get a functional version of PSE12 purchased online at the Adobe website in Dec, 2013. Furthermore, my Adobe account does not list this purchase...YES, I do have a copy of the original purchase receipt both hard-copy printed, and pdf-copy-saved, at the time of purchase. And, yes, my Visa card provider lists Adobe posting this purchase. However, Adobe never emailed me to confirm my purchase nor give me a link to download the software! I did register my PSE12 serial number at my Adobe account site a few days later. That is the only information Adobe shows on my account regarding my as-yet-unobtained PSE12.
I have a 5 year old Dell Inspiron with Windows Home Basic Vista SP2 that also seems to have all the requirements to use PSE12. I have PSE6 now on the machine, and, really love its features. I do not view any video on this laptop, i.e. no movies or video games, just occasion short YouTube-type videos. This is word-processing and image-processing workhorse. I do a fair amount of PhotoShop work with still images, and, simply wanted the latest upgrade of PSE. Adobe was offering it at a good sale price.
I have been online to chat with Adobe telling me to go through the trial download version, then 'buy' it by giving the serial number. That worked once, but, did not generate a functional app. What is Error 105??? I have had at least two phone calls with Adobe, one with a rep who could not help, and, the other with a rep whose foreign accent was almost impossible to understand. I am hearing-inpaired, and, mere audio-volume enhancement is not always enough trying to speak with someone for whom English is not their native language.
So now what? I do not have high confidence that Adobe can or will fix this. I have posted several detailed reports at their security site because I was concerned that my downloads were being hijacked and possibly my credit card information compromised. They say they do not have my phone number, though it is posted at my Adobe account site. Adobe Photoshop and Adobe's pdf options are very good programs that I used for years, first with Apple computers, and, then after 2008 with a Windows PC. Has Adobe become overwhelmed with cyber-security problems? I'm about at the point where I want my money back. Can anyone suggest an image-application as good as PSE? Help!

NAT issue - WRT54G Version 1.1 with Vista Home Premium

Router = WRT54G Version 1.1
I am trying to figure out the cause of my problems, this router or Vista?
I have 2 PC’s (just want to use my Vista 1) connected to the same router that is connected to a cable modem – the Windows XP machine has no problems bar its age and spec. I have a brand new PC with Vista Home Premium installed on it, now it is this new PC that I am having NAT problems with and port blocking.
I have installed Windows Live Messenger and when setting it up I went into Tools/Options/Connections and I get an error message:- "You are connected to the internet through a UPnP port restricted NAT. The Windows Firewall is enabled. (User)"
I have no option to run the trouble shooter (greyed out)…….
If I turn off Windows Vista Firewall I get:- "You are connected to the internet through a UPnP port restricted NAT. (User)”
Since this I have installed Media server software and have to reset the port it uses every time as it is always stating that it is blocked.
I have downloaded OpenOffice via a torrent client which also stated that I had NAT problems.
I have no NAT issues at all on my older XP PC and as a result I believe it is safe to rule out my router and modem……..I have only disabled Windows Firewall and this had made no difference, but I have not tried uninstalling it (no idea if that would make a difference)
Oh, I do not have UPnP enabled (router setting) – does this matter (I have tried turning it on but made no difference to this issue so I turned it off again)?

IS CS3 Production Premium incompatible with Win7 Home Premium 64bit?

I installed CS3 on my new machine with Windows7 Home Premium 64bit on it and it appeared to install correctly.
So when I click the photoshop.exe file it opens a window and freezes.... (not responding) I have sat for an extended amount of time and nothing ever happens beyond that.
If I use after effects or illustrator or flash... nothing happens at all... no windows... however If I open up my task manager, I can see the processes running for those programs... just no applications...
I have run as admin and in WinXP SP2 mode.
Disabled DEP and UAC.
Updated everything in the book.
I dont' get it...
So I am starting to wonder if it just isn't compatible with Win7.
Can anyone shed any light on the subject or direct me to anything that could help out?

Hudechrome,
Can you clarify on CS4 running in Windows 7? My employeer is upgrading to 64-Bit Windows 7 Ultimate (new laptop w/8 GB ram). I can re-install with XP if I really want to.
For Win7 Ultimate, do I just run the 32-bit PS CS4 app for best results or is there something special I need to do?
Thanks!
Please read what I said, excerpted here:
"...and they work fine in all 64 bit OS including Win7...as 32 bit programs."
Now Dec9 has some further notes above which should work fine. Personally, I will change everything when CS5 arrives. Hardware, OS and programs. Since I am still running CS3 (which should also run on Win7 at 32 bits) I am in no hurry to upset a rather well oiled editing system. Yesterday, I did upgrades to my hardware, adding an additional 1TB drive. I needed extra sata connections so I added a PCI sata card, blew out the dust bunnies, installed the HD and the damn thing wouldn't even post!
It runs now.
Wouldn't dare not !!

Connecting DWCS3 with Vista Home Premium

I am having a problem connecting to my remote server using
DWCS3. I currently upgraded my computer which came with Vista Home
Premium. I have converted my GoLive site into DW but can not seem
to be able to connect to my server. I keep getting the "Toggling
the Use Passive FTP checkbox may help...." but it doesn't. We even
turned off my firewall to try to establish a connection. My network
admin can't figure it out as he can connect to my site from his
computer. I'm wondering if it's a Vista problem? Or could it be a
firewall issue on network part?
Any suggestions?

are you aware of s10-3 systems don't have dvd-rom, right?
if you want to install vista, you can use xp or windows 7 drivers instead of.

How do I re install windows home premium OA?

I had windows home premium OA on my computer , but I believe it was accidentally uninstalled from my hard drive. I have the product key that is on my computer. I was having trouble finding the correct link to reinstall it on my lap top.
When I went to the microsoft Website all I found was support for windows 8 . Can you give help me with the proper link? thank you

Please provide the manufacturer and model of your pc.
It is possible you have a hidden recovery partition on your hard drive which may be used instead of a recovery disk to restore your system (and Windows) to factory defaults.
Recovery procedures vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
You should also search for any recovery disk/s that were supplied with your pc. Manufacturers invariably charge a significant fee to supply replacements.
If you decide to use borrowed/downloaded media to reinstall Windows on an OEM pc, the process may not be straightforward. Without some experience and patience you may end up with no other option than to pay a professional to finish the job.
Microsoft does not publicly provide download links for Windows. While you may stumble upon an official download source, beware that many unofficial sources will come pre-loaded with viruses, trojans etc.

Itunes not working with Vista Home Premium 32-bit

Itumes 10.6.3 version will not work with Vista Home Premium. I have a 32-bit operating system. I'm not sure what to do next. It appears in trying to update it deleted the old itumes, as I can't find a copy of it when I search the computer.

Then I installed Quicktime on its own - still get the same error 'Quicktime has stopped working;
Okay. That will be the source of the iTunes problem. (Without a properly working QuickTime, iTunes won't work correctly.)
Checking on things that can cause QuickTime launch errors now.
Have you at any stage installed any Codec Packs, any copies of the programs QT Alternative, QT Lite or Storm Codec, or any media converter programs that can convert files into QuickTime readable formats?
(I'm checking on these things because depending on the versions of the programs/codec-packs, these can install earlier versions of QuickTime componentry on a PC, which can interfere with the running of a higher version of QuickTime.)

How to sync my iphone 4 (which is synced on my laptop currently) with my home computer where I also sync my iPad 2 without losing the data on my iphone 4?

Hi there. I have an iphone 4, which is currently synced with itunes on my laptop. I also have an ipad 2 which is currently synced with a more powerful and storage capable home computer. I would like to know if there is a way to sync my iphone 4 with my home computer, without losing my messages, apps, and other info. I am using Windows 7 on both machines. I don't know if there is a way to "merge" both itunes libraries for this? Any help will be appreciated.

I synchronize my contacts and calendars across multiple computers (and iPhones) via iCloud, but all of the devices end up with the same versions.
I don't want our different mail accounts synchronized between computers, so I don't sync that with iCloud, but you can (I don't recommend it with your work computer).
You should be able to sync the music with iCloud.
Give it a try and see if that works for you.
