Synching issues between Palm Desktop 4.1.2 and Sun ONE Synch 1.1p2

This has been vaguely mentioned in a thread elsewhere. I thought I'd document my issues for anyone else searching.
Downloaded and isntalled PD 4.1.2. Synched fine with my Palm Vx.
Installed Sun's synch software 1.1p2. Synched with Calender Server. Synch between Palm and Calender directly failed. Synch between PD and Cal server appeared to go through, but nothing actually synched.
After this, synching between Palm and PD began to go wrong - date book wouldn't be synched, then tasks stopped, progressively getting worse.
Reinstlaled PD 4.1.4 and Palm and PD could synch again.
Uninstalled PD 4.1.4, installed an older version, 4.1, found on CNET's download site. Reinstalled Synch software, everything now synchs fine.
Thank God for that!
Chris

4.1.4 was originally designed for Palm OS 4.x devices, while 4.2 and 4.1.4e (Extended) were designed for PalmOS 5.x devices using the new PIM programs (Contacts and Calendar vs. Address Book and Datebook).

  • Synching on Windows 7 (64 bit) between Palm desktop (6.2.2) and Outlook 2010

    I have recently purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 (64 bit) and Outlook 2010 which I use for email, contacts and calander.  I have managed by a miracle using bluetooth to synch between my Tungsten E2 and Palm desktop and know that there are no tools, as yet, to synch between my E2 and Outlook 2010.  Would  it work as  a two stage process i.e.
    1. synch desktop and outlook
    2. synch desktop and E2.
    If so how do I do step one?
    Thanks

    In PD 6.2.2 there is a PIM conduit switcher. Have you tried this?
    Another option I can think to try is to export your data in a format compatible with Outlook, .csv or .tab and then import into Outlook.
    Chapura makes a program called pocket copy. It is a one time transfer of your data from PD to Outlook.
    They have a program called Pocket Mirror but is only compatible with 32 bit versions.
    Here is a link to their site.

  • Troubleshooting Address Book issues using Palm Desktop for Mac (v. 4.2.1) and a T3?

    Can someone please make suggestions which would correct the following issues?
    1) When printing an Address Book from my Mac, the information in the "title" field prints twice. (I have checked my Preferences settings & reviewed how I have entered the information, etc. and everything is in order; also, an Address CARD DOES print correctly --- and --- after syncing to my T3 and then to my husband's PC, an Address Book prints correctly from the PC.)
    2) After I have synced the Address Book from my Mac to my T3, the "zip code" entries appear BEFORE the "city" entries on the T3. (The zip codes appear correctly on my Mac and print out correctly.)
    3) After I have synced the Address Book from my Mac to my T3, the "contacts" all appear in BLACK on my T3. Is there any way to show the different "contact categories" in COLOR on the T3 as they were originally entered in my Palm Desktop for Mac?

  • How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

    I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
     Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet?  Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
     After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files.  If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

  • Palm Desktop replacement for Mac and iPhone?

    Since Palm Desktop is no longer in active development, is there a Palm Desktop replacement for Mac and iPhone?
    http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/33219_en.html#mac
    I mean, a single application (not a bunch of them like Address Book, iCal etc) that works on Mac (desktop) and that can sync with the iPhone. Including all data from the current Palm Desktop:
    1. Address List
    2. To Do List
    3. Memo List
    4. Date Book
    Thanks.

    If only Apple did something like that (all-in-one-application personal organizer with contacts, memos, calendar, to do lists, etc)
    Well, they offer all those functions--Mail has Notes and To-dos show up in both Mail and iCal, plus Address Book. Clearly someone made the fundamental decision that separate integrated programs were better than an all-in-one, so I wouldn't expect an all-in-one from Apple in any foreseeable future. But you can send a feature request, if you like:
    http://apple.com/feedback
    What would be interesting---and may exist, I haven't looked---would be if a third-party used the open access to iCal/Address Book info to build an all-in-one that integrated with Apple's separate apps, which could provide seamless iPhone/OS X integration while still letting people have the unified interface. Postbox uses Address Book but I didn't see any calendar/notes features in my quick check. Lots of apps build better replacements for Apple's individual programs--BusyCal, I think a Mail replacement, etc---but nothing unified that I've heard of.
    However, my point was that you may be better off grabbing Entourage 2008 while it is still available than waiting for Outlook 2011, which is going to be a different program. Sometimes features go backwards, and Missing Sync compatibility may change or be delayed with Outlook 2011. I don't see the advantage of hanging onto PD until the very last minute.

    Two days ago most of my music dissapeared from my Ipod, however all of it is still in my iTunes Library. After synchronizing the Ipod there is a huge difference between both music in my library and the one in the Ipod.

    Hi Rodobaldo,
    Let's try to clear up this issue for you, I'd like to clear out the music on your iPod first. You'll want to find the Sync Music Checkbox, uncheck it, then Apply or Sync:
    Once you have done that, recheck the "Sync Music" checkbox, and apply the changes once more. This will instruct iTunes to completely remove all music from your iPod nano, and then copy the files once more. If you have a large amount of music, this initial sync may take a while.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see the following article:

  • Issues uninstalling Palm Desktop software (v. 4.2.1)

    I am having issues uninstalling the Palm desktop software (v. 4.2.1) from my computer and Palm Support is no longer able to assist me, claiming the problem is too complex and OS-related.
    Basically, I wasn't able to remove the software using the built-in uninstall feature so I was told to attempt a manual deletion of all Palm-related files in Terminal. After doing a search for these files via Spotlight, I was given the following directions:
    >> On the Terminal application.
    Type rm.
    Press Space bar on the USB keyboard.
    Drag the undeleted files to the terminal.
    Press Enter.
    Check if the file is deleted. If not, just click anywhere on the desktop and after a few seconds check if the file is deleted.
    This method was mostly successful and I was able to remove most of the files that I wasn't otherwise able to from trash. However, several files still remain:
    1 - In an original folder labeled 'Palm 00-08-43', there are two applications that cannot be deleted: 'Palm Support' and 'Palm Desktop'. Both seem to be applications based on their generic icon; 'Palm Desktop' indeed opens up as the Palm Desktop application (v. 4.2.1) but the Palm Support file
    cannot be opened because it may be "damaged or incomplete".
    2 - In an original folder labeled 'Palm', there is an unidentified 'Palm Desktop' file (4.4MB) that cannot be deleted in Terminal either. (By "unidentified" I mean, no default application is specified to open the document.)
    3 - Also, when searching for Palm-related files via Spotlight, I get a result for an application 'Palm Desktop Background' whose file path is associated with the unidentified and problematic 'Palm Desktop' file mentioned above in (2). The file path is as follows: Palm>Palm Desktop>Contents>Resources>Palm Desktop Background.
    None of these files (whether individually or their folders) can be deleted in Terminal for the same reason, which Terminal specifies as "a directory". I even tried creating a folder and dragging that folder with all the corrupt files into the Terminal application but to no avail. Also, I made sure to run the Disk Utility to repair and verify disk permissions during this process.
    Can anyone help me figure out why those specific files or "directories" cannot be easily deleted? The problem sounds complicated so if anyone knows where I might be able to seek assistance, that would be helpful too. Thanks!

    What problem are you trying to solve? If you want to remove all signs of the Palm desktop software, what I did was open up a finder window, and then I searched for "Palm" and deleted everything that came up, except the Palm folder in my Documents folder.
    Until I finally divorced myself from using the Palm desktop software, I had to repeat this operation several times.
    The Palm desktop software is absolutely horrible. I suggest you move to Missing Sync by Mark Space software or use Apple's built-in iSync and forget about the Palm desktop software. You can get Missing Sync online from http://www.markspace.com

  • Tungsten E2, Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and lost files

    We have todayinstalled the above software onto a Windows XP Pro desktop and after performing a sync find that our PDA is blank, our Desktop software is blank and are wondering where the files are.
    Also, is it possible to reverse this sync?

    In palm desktop, is there only 1 username listed?
    On the PC, there are files in the username folder that store your data. Copy and paste the following address in a browser for the Palm kb article regarding the location of the folder.

    Once you locate the folder, look for the folders for your data, datebook, addresses, memos,etc. Look in those folders for the data files. See if you have any files named datebook.dat or datebook.bak in the datebook folder.
    Are there files in those folders? If so what are the file names.
    It is not possible to reverse a sync. The only way to possibly recover your data, is if there are files in the above named folders.

    Not really. Lion is Lion, last year, this year, it is still Lion.
    Yes, but it's a different version. Very cleverly said Barney
    Pete
    No it is not. The newest update just adds some things to it, no new features and only fixes bugs. It is still Lion OS X 10.7.x. It is not 10.6 or 10.8.
    It is just a "Point" release and not a New Operating system. All Macbook Pros that could run Lion from last year can run the newest Lion Point release from this year.
    Oh and by the way Barney was talking about Mountain Lion, 10.8. Which is a NEW OS X operating system and has nothing to do with Lion 10.7.x. And it is not out yet.
    lol. Don't bust a blood vein. The comment was made in jest, but if you want to be serious, then OK 10.7 and 10.7.1 were different than 10.7.2 and 10.7.3. Why? Well one little thing called 'iCloud' for a start.

  • Issues between SharePoint 2010 == Acrobat X Pro and autosave

    Hey all,
    Seeing two issues with Acrobat X Pro in an enterprise environment that also uses SharePoint 2010 heavily.
    #1
    Crashing Acrobat X Pro not autosaving correctly when dealing with partially remote user profiles. These are user profiles that are local (not roaming profiles), but are forced via registry to consider the Documents location to be a network location (accessible via CIFS). I noticed when helping a user that has lost work that the temporary autosave files are still local, and there did not seem to be a recovered document via Acrobat for this SharePoint-loaded PDF file. The user had this file checked out and had done a few hours of work when the crash happened. Any recommendation on:
    - reporting this to an Acrobat engineer, particularly the team working with SharePoint integration via the dll Acrobat uses to accomplish that
    - settings to tweak to ENSURE that crashes will leave recoverable autosaves when working in Acrobat directly on SharePoint 2010 PDF files
    #2
    The following error is produced in Acrobat when trying to click version history documents in SharePoint 2010. "The URL you have provided could not be reached. Please verify that the URL is correct and that the network location is reachable." The revision of the document is reachable, but through typical HTTP via a web browser...but not through the SharePoint <==> Acrobat X Pro COM object magic that works fine for currently checked out documents. Please see inserted image. Thoughts on a fix?

    update for anyone interested--
    #1, broken autosave functionality for acrobat documents controlled by SharePoint (i.e. checked out from SharePoint and then worked on), I have duplicated this for Adobe. They have confirmed this is a bug, and have assigned it bug number 3328962. This bug means that your autosaving settings for Acrobat documents in SharePoint will not do anything-- so crashes of Acrobat, your computer, etc. while you are working on an Adobe Acrobat document you checked out from SharePoint will leave you in the state of your last manual save (with the SharePoint server).
