Sync with Vista

I just purchased a new laptop and noticed it comes with Vista. On Vista they have Windows Contacts and Windows Calendar. Can I sync my Palm Centro (PalmOS) with those two programs instead of downloading the Palm Desktop?

No, You'll need a palm desktop or MS outlook.

  • Why can't touch Sync with Vista Calendar same as iCal file

    Why in the world can't the touch sync with vista calendar? it exports the same ics file as iCal. I'd rather not spend the absurd money for Outlook 2007 just to backup my calendar so I don't lose it in firmware updates.
    Also it would be very nice to edit my calendars on my computer as well.

    With Windows, iTunes can only sync files from Outlook, and nothing else.
    It can only do it properly through Outlook, as iTunes is only configured to find the files in Outlook at that time, and no other program.

  • Windows Mobile and syncing with Vista

    I just recently bought a new laptop (within the last week) with Vista as the operating system.  I also use Outlook 2007.  When I hook my phone up by the usb cable sometimes the computer acknowledges my phone and sometimes not.  However, when it does acknowledge it, it does not give me the option to set it up, only an option to sync music, photos and tv.  All I want to do is to sync to Outlook. 
    You can probably tell from my message that I am not very tech savvy but if someone can tell me what to do I can do it!  I have read the help menu in Vista backward and forward but still have no idea how to get my phone to sync.  Someone please help me before I lose my mind!  Is there anything that I have to download to be able to sync?  I realize that activesync no longer is needed on Vista but I am unable to tell whether I have to download the Windows Mobility Device Center or if it is already in Vista.  I cannot find anything that looks like the WMDC is supposed to look like on my computer and like I said, I am not offered the option of setting up my device. 
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ok one way to make sure and see if WMDC is install is to go into your control panel and open the programs and features. And look for the windows mobile device center. If it is listed then it is installed if not (which I think is the case) then you would need to go to here to install it http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
    once installed you should get the setup option.
    Let me know if any of this does not work

  • 6280 goes white screen when I sync with Vista

    Hi all,
    My 6280 goes white screen and reboot when I sync after a 350 items uploaded to my laptop under Vista Premium Family Edition. I've got this problem either connected through the cable or bluetooth.
    I use the latest version of PC Suite, but I do not have upgraded my 6280.
    If someone can help me, thanks by advance.
    (and of course, it worked perfectly with my old desktop computer under XP ...).
    Richard.

    I mean to sync with the syncronisation feature (inside the PC Suite menu) to an Outlook 2002, under Windows Vista.
    Anyway, I solved my problem : I had a corrupted record in my phone's contacts (the phone was always rebooting on the same record number, when I tried to export data). I have deleted all the phone's contact records and then reloaded them from Outlook, and now everything works just fine.
    Backup, backup, always backup ...
    The question is : how could I have corrupt a record in my phone's contact ?
    Thank you for answering me ;-)
    Richard.

  • Can't sync with Vista 64.

    Hi all,
    I have a Treo 750 and I have had Vista Ultimate 64 on my machine for 4 months with no problems. I turned the computer off last week for two days while I was gone, and when I got back, my phone would not sync with anything, the computer won't even recognize it.
    I have Vista 64 with WMDC 6.1 64 bit installed on the computer and Windows Mobile 6 Pro on the phone.
    I have uninstalled WMDC 6.1 and the update through control panel, cleaned the registry, deleted the Windows Mobile folders on the computer and reinstalled several times with no luck.
    I have tried two different USB cables on two different ports, no luck.
    I have even tried the "trick" of installing WMDC twice in a row with the phone connected and not connected and it still does not work.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    I did both a soft and hard reset on the phone and still no luck.
    Interesting test, if I restart the computer in safe mode, then it will see the phone, but WMDC will not run in safe mode!
    Thanks

    Problem solved, somewhat....
    I decided after 8+ hours to take a break for an hour. I came back, plugged the phone into cable 2 and it worked! But, it would not work with cable 1.
    Then, a few hours later, I plugged the phone into cable 1 when I went to bed out of habit and it worked!
    No idea why both cables suddenly started working a few hours apart. The real question is, if/when this happens again, how many days do I do nothing hoping it fixes itself or do I spend 8+ hours uninstalling and reinstalling over and over, or do I buy a new phone and drop the Treo out the window?

  • Documents to Go on Palm TX Syncing with Vista

    I cant seem to get my documents to sync with my Palm TX. Everytime I click on the Documents To Go icon on my Vista desktop it gives me a "Runtime error" message. Help! What do I do?
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Plan B (free) is to create a folder on a SD card into which you copy (via your computer's SD reader/writer or a USB addition) the files you want your device's Docs2Go to use.
    Providing the installation of the Docs2Go was successful onto your TX via Vista, it'll read these and be able to edit and create new files. Granted, its not as seamless as a properly working Docs2Go as you swap files like this manually, but you regain functionality of the program on the device.
    You'll also want to disable the sync to Docs2Go via Hotsync > Custom > Documents to Go > and set its default as 'Do Nothing' and promptly forget Docs2Go exists on your machine. But don't uninstall it as this may also uninstall the device's version at the next Hotsync.
    Its really the sync portion of the Docs2Go that came with your TX that doesn't work in Vista - but as that's a major point of the software....
    I'm not sure how long you've had your TX or how long you've been on Vista - but given Palm is still selling its 3 year old TX, one might assume it would have been a nice gesture for DataViz to ensure the product that comes on the CD actally works with current OSs, yes? Apparently not - the upgrade for a Vista / Office 2007-friendly version runs at around $30. Which seems excessive given that the PalmOs is in its death throes.
    Hope Plan B works for you.

  • How to remove iTunes9.4 and get sync with VISTA & XP computers?

    Hi,
    I sync with 2 computers:
    - Home is an HP running on Vista
    - Work is a Sony running on XP
    2 days ago, I updated at home (without paying enough attention:-(() to iTUNES 9.4 (64bits version)
    Yesterday I tried to sync at work but got the message that version on my computer is too old. Since the computer is on XP I cannot install the 64bits version.
    What should I do to remove 9.4 and iOS4 from my phone????
    Best regards

    There is no iTunes 9.4
    iTunes 9.2 is the latest.
    ITunes is not installed on the iPhone, just on the computers used to sync it.
    iOS 4 on the iPhone requires iTunes 9.2 on any computer used to sync, but they don't have to be the same version of iTunes 9.2. They can be Mac or PC versions, 32-bit or 64-bit. They will all work with the same iPhone.

  • How to sync with vista 64 bit windows calendar and windows contacts

    Hi all,
    I see the clear msg on the Palm site saying that 64 bit windows is not supported, but that is still my need and my goal.  I just bought a new DELL desktop and am transitioning to it, but this is a showstopper.
    I want to ask if any user has suggestions or if anyone has insight as to if/when palm will sppt it.  Today its hard to buy a machine in a retail store that is not loaded w Vista64...and I spoke to Dell about this, since they need to warn people that the OS may prohibit a person from replacing his old Dell with a new one, but they say its a Palm/Msft problem. 
    My Tungsten E2 is important to me, and I want to sync it daily.  I am not very sophisticated when it comes to PC's or the OS's although i have learned a lot in the past 3 days.  I have no room to keep 2 machines, nor desire.  Any suggestions besides 'let the buyer beware'?
    Signed,

    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    I've been a Palm user for only 1 Year now and am not impressed.  Sure the 755P was a flashy device with cool features.  However, now after owning the device for a short period I'm looking for updates from Palm which don't exist.  The browser in antiquated and doesn't support recent technology.  The email system is effective, however, hope you don't receive an HTML email because you can't read it in Versamail.  Palm is focused on trying to produce new devices which compete with the IPhone and Storm but aren't remembering that their loyal customers will continue to purchase devices from them if they keep them happy. Futher, after upgrading my wife's laptop to Vista 64-bit I find that we can no longer sync the device using the interface cable. 
    My advice at this time, is to stay away from Palm until they provide the service which customers have come to expect.  I note today 12/7/08 that Palm is selling at $1.42 a share when just 8 years ago Palm stock was selling for $472.50.  Don't you see the picture, people are interested in the new flashy devices, but, if you don't take care of your customer base which has been loyal they will jump ship and move on to the better technology which works. 
    How about providing the updates we need to work today.  It will help me make up my mind next year when this 2-yr contract with Alltel is up (and i become a new Verizon) customer.
    The matter is all in Palm's hands.  I don't see this company surviving past 2010 unless they start taking care of people now.  My advice, stay away from Palm until they fix all these issues which people have identified throughout the web.

  • Treo Pro will not sync with Vista SP1

    I'm really hoping somebody can help me here.  I just replaced my aging 700p with the long-awaited Treo Pro (Sprint).  I've actually been looking forward to getting fully Windows-based, since my 700p syncing was routinely problematic - always having to do workarounds and plug in the cord just the right way, etc...
     Let me try to give you the flow so far.
    I have Vista SP1
    I get Treo Pro
    I plug Treo Pro into Vista, SP!, all ready to sync up my Outlook 2007 data.
    Treo Pro fires up a very impressive looking installation routine.
    Routine seemingly works fine - getting me to the point where you unplug and reconnect your device to do your first sync
    I reconnect, and hear the Windows "USB connect" sound, then.... nothing.
    I open WMDC and it says "not connected"
    I open "USB to PC" on the Treo, and uncheck the "advanced networking" box as suggested by some other posts.
    Windows sees the difference and installs a couple of other drivers.
    Windows connects, gives me the "USB connect" sound, and WMDC says "not connected"
    The Treo appears to attempt a sync, but finishes with a message "To synchronize this device, you must install ActiveSync 4.5 or newer on your desktop computer. "
         HUH?  ActiveSync only works with XP - of course I can't install that!
    By the way, I tried the same thing with my Vista SP1 laptop. Same exact results.
    Also, at no time have I seen the WMDC icon in the tray area. (I remember having a Nino way back when, and the ActiveSync icon was down there)
    I thought this was supposed to be easy - Windows PC, Windows device.  Piece of cake, right?  Not so.  If I cannot get this thing to connect, I'm getting a Centro! (not my first choice....)
    A thought... any chance this could have to do with having Palm Hotsync still installed (from my Treo 700p)?
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    On Windows XP, having HotSync installed didn't interference with using ActiveSync with a Treo 800w. This is not exactly the same as your setup, but close enough that I think HotSync is not likely to be the problem.
    How did you install WMDC? The downloadable User Guide (PDF pp44-46) refers to running the PC Setup program. Did that part go as expected?
    I don't use Vista, so I'm not familiar with the additional complications that might be involved...

  • Sync with Vista Business and Outlook 2007

    My old systems we running XP and Outlook 03 but I have recently upgraded to Vista Business and Outlook 2007. Since upgrading I have not be able to get either my contacts or calendar to sync. I have tried everything that I have come across in this forum and elsewhere but so far nothing has worked. I have the latest version of both iTunes and iPhone software. At this point it will not sync in either direction. Even though it says it is syncing it only takes about 10 seconds and nothing actually syncs. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    If possible create a new user
    Once in the new user, Launch iTunes and Set it up
    Close out of iTunes
    Launch Outlook set it up without Email support so Outlook 2007 will be open
    Once this is done Add at least 1 contact and 1 Calender Event to Outlook 2007
    Once this is done assuming your iPhone has contact and Cal information on it, Go ahead and go into ITunes and Set the Info Tab to Sync to Outlook for Contacts and Cals, And report what happens.
    If this works. Then there is an issue with the Data in Outlook on other account.

  • Zire 72s will not sync with Vista Home Premium

    Hi, I tried to sync my Zire 72 with my PC and it wont work ....I am pretty bad with computers, so if anyone could help me (in simple terms please). I have no clue what I'm doing. Thanks  
    Post relates to: Zire 72

    To check to see if your computer is Bluetooth ready, a bluetooth icon will appear in the system tray or you can check for a bluetooth application in your control panel.
    If you are unable to locate any bluetooth functions on your computer, you may want to contact your orignal manufacture of the computer to confirm. If you do not have bluetooth built into the computer you can still get the computer bluetooth enabled. To do this will require the purchase of a Bluetooth dongle. These dongles can be purchased at your local electronics stores (usually) or can be ordered on the web.
    The Bluetooth dongle will connect to your computer via USB and allow bluetooth communication between your handheld and the computer. This will be the only way to sync your Zire to 64 bit Vista. All you need to do is pair your device with the bluetooth dongle then initial the hotsync from your device. You may need to try plugging the dongle into different USB ports if connection issues occur. For further information and instructions please visit kb.palm.com and look up article number 49229 in the solution id search field.

  • Centro won't sync with Vista

    I can sync my Centro to Palm desktop using my office PC (running XP) with no problems.  But when I try to do so at home, on my laptop running Vista 32 bit, the sync stalls out while allegedly syncing the calendar.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Palm software and the same thing happens every time.  What am I missing?
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    There may be database corruption causing the issue. Click on the following link for the program called DbFixiT. This program has a trial version that you can download and install on your Palm OS device. The trial version will scan for database corruption and then report the corruption. You can then find the records causing the problem and fix them yourself or you can purchase the program and have it automatically fix the records.
    http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm
    When you install the program on the Centro, set the conduit in hotsync manager for calendar to do nothing. After you fix the calendar on the Centro, set the conduit for calendar to handheld overwrites desktop.
    For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

  • Sync with vista doubles up some songs and video

    when I sync my iphone 5 to my vista computer it makes copies of some of the song and videos even if i dellete on phone and computer they come back on next sync why?

    Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
    I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.
