Synchornization of Palm M515 & to Outlook 2000 suddenly stopped operating...........

I have a Palm M515 which I synchornize daily to Outlook 2000 using HotSync Manager 4.1.0. I have been using this set-up for years, and it suddenly stopped operating. I get the following error message on the screen of my Palm: "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your set-up and try again." I have tried all the fixes recommended by Palm for troubleshooting synchronization with no success. Are there any ideas?

View Solution.

Plug in your device and don't perform a Hotsync. Then right click "My Computer" (on your PC) and go to "Properties". Click on the Hardware tab and click Device Manager. Once in there you should see the Palm device under Universal Serial Bus Controllers or Network adaptors. Once you locate the device, right click it and click uninstall. As soon as you click Uninstall, unplug the device from your computer. Allow the driver to completely uninstall then plug your device back into your computer and try a hotsync operation.
This process is called reloading the drivers. Let me know if it works for you.

I assume you are using Palm desktop 6.2. To verify the version, go to help-about in Palm desktop for the version number.
Are you using Windows Vista or XP?
Outlook 2000 will not work with 6.2 on Vista. You need Outlook 2002 or higher.
If you want to use Outlook 2000 on Vista, you can use Palm desktop 4.1.4e. Here is the link for the download for 4.1.4e.
http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchKB.asp?c=32991
You will need to "clean" uninstall Palm desktop 6.2 before installing Palm desktop 4.1.4e.
Let me know the version of Windows you have and I can provide the uninstall instructions.

Errors synching Palm Pro Using Outlook 2000

New: Palm Treo Pro 850 Old: Palm Treo 600 Using Outlook 2000 Vista O/S
I am trying to do a one time synch using Outlook 2000 to transfer the data from my old Palm Treo 600 to my new Palm Pro. When I plug in the new Palm, Windows Mobile comes up and asks if I want to set up my device. I click yes to get Outlook Contacts, Calendar, etc. and get the error message:
Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.
When I searched the error message, I found my Outlook file may be corrupted so I deleted Outlook from my regedit and reinstalled according to directions from Microsoft. This is not fix the problem, I still get the same error message. As long as I am getting that error message, Windows Mobile will not allow me to synch anything other than Favorites, everything else is greyed out.
Please - can anyone help?

Outlook 2013 suddenly stopped sending email

good morning and happy new year.
my outlook suddenly stopped sending emails. I can still receive emails. but no luck sending. I've added a new account to my outlook and that one sends/receives fine. I have the email on my phone it sends and receives fine. I've tried uninstalling than reinstalling
outlook. Nothing changed. tried the quick fix as well as the internet longer fix. same result nothing changed. this is my business email so I really need to get it figured out. Please Help

Happy New Year.
Without the detail information of your email accounts, it is difficult to move on. Could you please tell the type of you email account, Exchange, POP3, IMAP or Live account? If it is an Internet account, please detail the email provider, like Gmail, Yahoo
or else.
The following link is some common troubleshoot steps for sending and receiving messages issues
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/286040
In most cases this scenario happens if the sending message is stuck in the Outbox somehow, what we could next do is to identify the cause why it would happen.
1. Is there any large message remain in the outbox folder?
2. Authentication problem or simply password expired.
3. The sending message is called by another application like mailscanner?
Our MVP Diane has written an useful article that talking about this:
http://slipstick.com/problems/common-problems-that-cause-email-to-stay-in-the-outbox/#srs
You may reference it and solve the problem. If the issue still persists, feel free to post back with the error code and message. Thanks.

Getting my palm OS data onto outlook 2000

Hi- I have recently gotten a Blackberry Pearl for my phone, and I want to move my data (calendar, contacts) from my palm Tungsten T3 over to the blackberry. I think the only way to do this is through Outlook. However, I have always used the Palm OS desktop software. How can I move the data into outlook so I can sync my blackberry with it?
Thanks!

Sync ical with palm m515

Hello,
I am trying to get my palm m515 to work with my new imac os x. I have down loaded Palm Desktop for mac but when I tried to open it I was prompted to convert the file. Any ideas on how to get this to work?
FYI-I have windows.

yes, it is possible. do look at the following links:
http://www.busymac.com
http://www.spanningsync.com
i use spanning sync with two macs and sync via a google calendar account. you could sync the mac with google calendar - you would have to open an account, but it is free - and then give access to these google calendars to your husband who would in turn sync them to his pc, i assume he is running outlook on his pc. i did a quick internet search and found this link but i am sure there are others for google calendar/outlook syncing: http://oggsync.com/
hope this helps
by the way, love denmark! i used to live in humlebaek for 5 years a long time ago.

Outlook 2007 won't open .pst file from Outlook 2000

I have been using Outlook 2000 for 10 years and hit the 2GB limit. As a result, Outlook 2000 would not open mail and did not permit me to delete mail to clear space.
I’d been meaning to install my Office 2007 and this seemed like the time to do so. Once installed, I attempted to open my 2 GB PST file in Outlook 2007. No luck.
Messages: “The message interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.” And “Cannot display information. There is either a problem connecting to the server or an error has occurred.”
Researching on the Web, I found Microsoft guidance that I could create a new data file and import the old (ANSI) .PST file into this new (Unicode) .PST file. When I did
that, during the Import, I encountered another error message: “The file has reached its maximum size. (Followed by two unhelpful sentences – can’t be imported).”
OK, I think, I have to reduce the size of that file. Research yields Microsoft’s “oversized PST and PST crop tool.”
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088 I do that and follow the instructions to scan the truncated file with Microsoft’s
scanpst.exe tool, which is included with Office.
Another error: scanpst.exe will not complete its scan. I receive a mysterious error message with no indication what the exact problem is. I created multiple versions
of the truncated .PST file, each smaller than the last, so that the smallest was 1.7 GB. Still errors with scanpst.exe and ultimately no luck.
I have spent more than 10 hours trying to solve this problem and am at wit’s end. I’m a freelance writer, and it’s costing me money. What’s worse,
info on projects I’m supposed to be working on are locked in that PST file! All data is stored locally on a Dell laptop with Windows 7.
Help anybody? Please? Thank you!

Fifteen hours later, I was back in business, having upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2007, a process one would expect to take a half-hour tops. I'm no IT pro, but
I am pretty accomplished at fixing problems. This one seemed beyond my reach, as neither of the utilities Microsoft recommended to address the issue, the truncation tool and scanpst.exe, worked -- what a surprise! I engaged a local technician to diagnose the
problem remotely, and over a course of four hours he fixed it using a third-party program called "Outlook Recovery Toolbox." I'd actually downloaded that tool and fooled around a bit, but didn't use it for a full scan as I think that required a purchase, and
who knows if it's malware or what. Well, it worked.
So 15 hours lost. That cost me hundreds of dollars as I am self-employed, plus I have a $150 bill from the technician, which is more than fair for his two hours of labor
(the extra two hours were scanning and importing time). Again, Microsoft managed to turn into an epic ordeal what the consumer expects to be a straightforward upgrade process.
Now I have Outlook 2007, oh boy! The first thing I notice is the inflexible mail header above the message body. WTF is that supposed to be? Who was the Einstein who thought
that up? It renders USELESS like an inch of real estate right in the center of the screen! I find that it can be hidden (not, of course, with a simple, convenient and sensible right click ... oh NOOOO ... but through multi-click options available in the toolbar).
(For background, Outlook 2000 did not have that inflexible mail header -- the header info (subject, date, sender, CC) was part of the email, so if you scrolled down the
email, the header went with it and made the best possible use of available space).
Now here's a twist -- Outlook does not show, in your list of emails, whether an email has an attachment if the email was sent via Lotus Notes. That was a glitch in 2000,
and one I would expect to have been resolved in 2007. BUT NO. So, just moments ago, I have an email/meeting invitation sent from a client using Lotus Notes. Even though I had told Outlook to hide headers, it disobeyed me ...
why? Because this was a "meeting invite" email, offering me options, in that stupid inflexible header, to Accept, Decline, Propose New Time, & etc. Well, those options only increased the size of that inflexible header, so that the visible area of
the email WAS LESS THAN ONE INCH HIGH. Yes, I can adjust it -- how very productive!
These two Microsoft glitches / manifestations of poor design -- no alerting to attachments from Lotus clients and that horrid header -- very nearly conspired to cause
me to miss a critical attachment displayed only at the very bottom of the email. The document attached needs to be read and commented before the meeting, and only by the grace of God did I happen to scroll, IN THAT 3/4 INCH MAIL WINDOW, to the bottom and happen
to spot said critical attachment.
Do I expect anything more from Microsoft ... other than more grief and stupidity? Sadly, I do not. It is my misfortune in life to have to use Microsoft Word on a daily
basis, as I have for the past 10 years.
Before that, I used WordPerfect and what a wonderful program it was! I recall using WordPerfect to write and design one lovely graphical document in particular that earned
me an A+ in class. WordPerfect was so easy and powerful, with virtually no hassles—just gratification. Is it better to have loved (WordPerfect) and lost, than to have never loved at all?
Unfortunately, since all my clients use Word, I have to as well. Frankly, and I hope this isn’t against board rules, I am merely speaking the truth as I see it—Microsoft
Word is an utterly wretched application that has caused me untold grief and aggravation. Bulleting, text boxes, fickle fonts, the list is very, very long …. But it only gets worse!!!
The whole .doc .vs
docx is a complete debacle; the “Compatibility Pack” is a cruel joke. If I use Word 2000 on .docx documents, here are some of the inconveniences and frustrations that I encounter:
Bulleting function grayed out
Spelling errors not highlighted
Additional linespaces introduced into printed documents
Mysterious transposition of bold, italics and underlining
Inability to work with text boxes (“Error! Reference source not found!”)
Track Changes not accurately recorded
These are not incidental issues. I’m a spelling bee champion, but unless the spelling highlight function works, I am bound to have a typo or two in a 20-page document.
This affects the quality of my work and my livelihood.
To make matters worse, my Windows 7 often won’t find .docx documents. If I had worked on a .docx document something four months that I recall included the word
“Rumplestiltskin,” the Windows 7 Find function should locate it, but it does not.
I could go on and on. How about the dismal wireless connectivity in Window 7, vs. XP, which was virtually flawless. But I’m trying to catch up on the 15 hours that I lost yesterday thanks to Microsoft’s
awful Outlook troubleshooting and upgrade functionality.

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

Palm m515 lost power and all data and will no longer Sync to Palm Software

I guess I waited too long between charges and my Palm Lost all its data - however it all backed up on my work PC. The issue is that when I try to sync it, it asks me to select a user and then I get the following error message "HotSync operation was interrupted. Some of your data was NOT backed up. For details, tap HotSync Long on the HotSync screen." However there are no details to be found, it just says "HotSync operation was terminated. Some of your data was not NOT backed up."
I am hoping that there is something I can do without reinstalling the software since 1 - all of my information going back to 2002 is only on my computer and 2 - I am not able to install apps on my work computer.
Thank you!!!

I went to C:\Program Files\Palm - there was no PalmOne folder. The folders in this folder are _PqiTemp_, Components, helpnote, Image Library, PergolC, Photodesktop, Themes, Update and USB_Driver. In PergolC there was a folder called backup, which had pictures in it. I renamed it oldBackup and it still isn't working.
Please let me know what else to try. I have selected my name as the user each time.

Need suggestion(s) for smooth transition to Outlook 2003 from Outlook 2000

I'm currently syncing my T|X with Outlook 2000 using Hotsync Manager 6.0.1 on Win XP Pro. I'd like to switch to Outlook 2003.
Firstly, is Hotsync 6.0.1 compatible with Outlook 2003?
If so, what would be the most foolproof way of switching as far as the Hotsyncing is concerned, such as a recommended steps of installing / uninstalling / upgrading / reinstalling, etc?
I'd like to avoid shooting myself in the foot, if possible

Ok, here are a few necessary enhancements and if some already exist, they're not easily accessible.
Remember, anything that makes the experience for the user coming from Android or Iphone easy and simple is a must.
1- Alarm settings: should be able to set more than one alarm. E.g: 8AM, 10:30AM, 5PM, 10PM etc..
2- The internet browser should have a kind of refresh button on the same line as the address field. Should not require a 2 step to access the Reload button.
3- In Text messages, and this is extremely important to fix. The backspace push button should not be right above the Send button. Many times I've sent incomplete msg when trying to backspace to correct a word. If it can be placed where the smileys drop down box that would be great.
I will add more later on.
Cheers,
Elie

Can't open some attachments in Outlook 2000

I have Outlook 2000 (part of Office 2000 premium) installed in my Virtual XP . I can't open .jpg or .pdf attachments. (recent problem) I uninstalled Office 2000 Premium and reinstalled and installed Office 2000 SP3.
Still can't open them.
Please advise

Hi,
Actually it is more likely an Office 2000 issue. First, I would like to know if you can open JPG or PDF file by saving them to Desktop from Outlook.
If they can be accessed on Desktop but not inside an email as attachments, it is an Outlook issue. Is there any error occurs when trying to open that attachment? Please let us know.
In-case it is actually being blocked, please try to change the security level per following article:
You may receive an "Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments" message in Outlook
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/829982/en-us
If they cannot be accessed on Desktop either, please make sure you have the proper application to access them such as Adobe Reader for PDF.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Synching older Palm handheld with Outlook 2007 and Windows 7

I have a Palm M515 running Palm OS 4.1. I just purchased a new computer, running Windows 7 and Office 2007. Although I transferred my old files, I needed to reinstall the Palm software from the disc. Otherwise, my synch cradle is connected as it was under Windows XP--i.e., with a USB connection. The only hint I received may be a message that it is still searching for the COM 1 port. Is there any hope for me to reestablish the ability to synch in this situation?
