Syncing Palm in Vista

I have a Palm Treo 755p that I would like to sync with Oracle Calendar. The computer being used has Vista and Office 2007 installed. Palm Desktop 6.2.2 with Hotsync 7.0.2 is also installed. I have found that Oracle Calendar Sync does not work with this setup so I have configured Oracle Connector for Outlook and Hotsync Outlook conduits. I am able to sync this way but have run in to issues with duplicate calendar entries and contacts. I am in a support environment where some customers do not use Outlook but still want to sync to OCAL. I am curious what other people are using and their thoughts on syncing Palm products with OCAL through Vista.

You should use syncml and sync directly with the server.

    If you have a data plan, and don't need outlook, then just get Synthesis Syncml for $22.
    Not sure if the Palm version of the conduits would work with your Treo though. When I had a Palm PDA, they never failed on me. Outlook on the other hand - ugh...

  • Synced once with Vista and now is apparently hosed

    I installed iTunes on my new Vista PC and loaded all my music. I then synced my 60 GB iPod and it worked fine. Now when I connect my iPod iTunes tells me my iPod needs to be restored. So then I go through the steps and it tells me my iPod needs be restored.
    I've tried different USB ports but I continue to get the "needs to be restored" message.
    HELP

    Usually when an app. hangs, it means that the database is corrupted but if it syncs ok on Vista it may indicate that the database on the XP may be corrupted. Can you open Palm desktop on the XP PC with no problem?
    If you sync with Vista with no problem, try changing the conduits on the XP PC to handheld overwrites desktop and then sync to see if it hangs on calendar.

  • Can't Sync Anymore! Vista/Outlook 2007 multi PCs

    I have a centro that I primarily sync with a vista business 32 machine with Outlook 2007 at work.  I also copy/sync the data to my computer at home (vista premium 32/Outlook 2003).  I always overwrite my data on the computer at home as my business PC/contacts/calendar are most important to me.
    I have all the latest desktop software & the Outlook 2007 conduits updater at work.
    Everything was going swimmingly until about 2 weeks ago when I updated on my computer at home.  The next time I synched at work I received an error message that said something like, "palm device has synched to another computer, there may be duplicates of files" or something of the sort.  Now my calendar & contacts will no longer synch with either computer, but everything else still synchs (program installs, media, etc...). 
    The sync settings appear to be set up correctly (synchronizing calendar & contacts to outlook), but it never even attempts to synch the calendar & contacts anymore.
    HELP!!!  I'm at wits end!

    When you sync to your PC's is there any type of error in the log file. If so can you post it in here? Also as a test on your work PC got to hotsync manger-->settings-->applications-->contacts or calendar (either one)-->configure-->settings--> and tell me what is checked or check sync to multi PC's.
    If this does not help let me know

  • Sync Palm m500 to Mac OS 10.4.3. Possible?

    I've just moved from using Mac OS 10.3.9 to 10.4.3 and I'd like to sync my "old" Palm m500 to it. With the previous OS I had Conduit manager v 3.2 and I could sync with no problems whatsoever. Now I wonder if I can sync Palm m500 with Tiger. I've been checking in Palm and Apple sites but I haven't found any useful information. Reading some of your comments in the forum I realize I might have problems using the new version of isync. On top of that I know my Palm is not precisely the latest model, but it works so well I don't fancy buying a new one. Can somebody help? Thanks.
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Palm recommends that for the m500 series of handheld organizers, that you install the Palm Desktop 4.2.1 version A, available here:
    http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421.html
    With this handheld, you need not first install software from the CD-ROM that was supplied with your device, as it does not contain unique software for your device.
    After installing the Palm Desktop, Apple recommends that you first synchronize with it prior to configuring and using iSync. Once you've done that, launch iSync and select Enable Palm OS Syncing… from the Devices menu, and follow the instructions which appear. At the conclusion of this step, your device will appear in iSync. You can then press the Palm icon in its main window to drop down a configuration pane, which lets you specify how iSync interacts with specific contact groups and calendars.
    If you intend to synchronize with other devices, including .Mac, you should also open the Preferences… dialog under the iSync menu, and check or enable all three options under the General tab. Then, each time you synchronize, you should…
    • launch iSync
    • select Sync Now from beneath the Sync Status icon in your menu bar, and
    • press you HotSync button when prompted to do so by the dialog
    And, when you've successfully done all this - and find youself unhappy with the manner in which iSync performs - you should consider purchasing and installing the far more flexible, robust, feature-rich and reliable synchronization software from Mark/Space: The Missing Sync for Palm OS. More information about that package is available here:
    http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php
    One caution: The Missing Sync for Palm OS should be installed only after you have successfully synchronized at least once with both the Palm Desktop and with iSync.

    I'm also having same problems with initial sync, iSync quits long before it is finished downloading all the stuff from my Palm E2. It is as if iSync times out then quits without checking to se if data transfers are complete

  • Smooth switch from Pylon Conduits to XTNDConnect PC, to sync Palm with Lotus Notes

    I've used Pylon Conduits (software purchased from sybase.com) for years, to sync my Palm Zire 72 (Palm OS 5.0) with Lotus Notes at work.  I also used HotSync to sync the Palm with my home computer's Palm Desktop.  Essentially a 3-way calendar sync, very convenient!
    There was a documented Pylon problem with recurring entries turning into duplicate entries, and there were occasions where I'd delete an entry from one calendar that didn't stay deleted after sync'ing.  However, all in all, my imperfect 3-way sync was worthwhile.  At least the entries erred on the side of caution--better too many than not enough.
    Sadly, I learned, Pylon issued an "end of life" notice earlier this year.  After my office pushed down a patch that messed with Pylon, I was recently forced to find other conduit software.  EasySync was recommended to me, but I can't remember what flaw prevented my using it--maybe it wouldn't sync Lotus Notes recurring entries at all?  Can't remember.
    Anyway, with low expectations, I tried XTNDConnect PC software (another sybase.com product, $60, to replace Pylon).  For what I use it for (calendar, to-do, memos), XTNDConnect PC is marvelous, better than Pylon Conduits!  Simple, yet powerful.  I guess it's pronounced "extendConnect PC," but I will ignore the cumbersome name.  Its conduits are not just for Palm and not just for Lotus Notes either, but when you tell it what you're using it for, it is so friendly as to show only your relevant options.
    XTNDConnect PC handles recurring entries nicely.  And it addresses how Contacts fields differ in Palm vs. Lotus Notes:  It shows how/which fields are mapped by default, plus it allows you to customize field mapping for all Contacts fields.
    One change I had to figure out was that while Pylon sync'd Palm's "Memos" with Lotus Notes email "Drafts" folder, XTND instead syncs Palm's "Memos" with a Lotus Notes "Journal" database (which I had to establish and bookmark on my work computer).  No big, once I figured out what was going on.  I got some help from XTNDConnect PC customer service--free by email, and responsive within hours.
    I saw in perhaps old specs for XTND that for email, you have to install some additional software (to supplement XTND) if you're syncing a Palm using OS higher than 3.0.  However, I can't say anything more about this because I don't use the email conduit.

  • Palm z22 will not sync with windows vista

    I have been following the forums and this seems to be consistent issue and no one seems to be able to give a straight answer as to what to do. I like to consider myself a biut of a techie, but this blows my mind. My computer recognized my z22 twice and synced twice, but ever since it synced with it the second time and i installed my belkin wireless key board it stopped working. I don't know why but my computer will no longer recognize the device, i've tried everything i've seen discussed i've installed different versions of palm desktop i've tried restarting my palm in everyway possible, there is no way on earth i am going to reload vista or wipe my hard drive or any crap like that i've got to much stuff and i don't have the disks for it anymore anyway. so what am i supposed to do. i'm trying to keep cool but this is sort of something i'm counting on working to help me keep organized while i go through college, and i think it's understandable that i would be a little frustrated.

    Check out either MusicTones or MiniTones, both free programs that work similarly.  Available from freewarepalm.com.
    They will scan your SD card for songs, then let you edit out a slice right on your Centro.  You choose the Start and Stop locations of the "slice".  When satisfied, click the "Add" button, and it will appear in your list of Ringtones.

  • "Port In Use" error message when trying to sync Palm m500 to Windows Vista machine

    An error message on my Palm displays "Error: Serial Port in Use (Serial 0307)" when I try to sync my Palm m500 to my Windows Vista (32 bit) Home Basic machine. It worked until about 3 months ago and I don't have a restore point that far back to try System Restore. I've upgraded to Palm Desktop 6.2.2 (was using 4.xx) and downloaded the PalmHotSyncSetup from Pimlico Software but nothing helps. Any ideas are appreciated.
    Post relates to: Palm m500

    I would try connecting the Palm's cradle, with the Palm in it, to your PC and then, in Device Manager, right-clicking on Palm Handheld #2 and selecting Uninstall Driver.  Palm Handheld/Palm Handheld #1 could be visible if you connect the Palm to USB port you may have tried using perviously.
    After uninstalling Palm Desktop, reboot the PC, make sure Palm Desktop 6.2.2 is installed (since you are using Vista) and then try reconnecting the Palm.
    One last thing: Make sure that you are using a 32-bit version of Windows.  There is no 64-bit USB driver support from Palm or ACCESS.  If you do have a 64-bit version of Windows Vista installed, that would clearly explain why you are having so much trouble getting your m500-series PDA to sync. This thread tells you how to check for a 32 or 64-bit install of Windows.

  • Palm Z22 and sync with Windows Vista 64-bit system

    I have  been trying to sync my Palm Z22 with a new laptop that is running the 64-bit Vista.  Based on some posts I had located, I ordered an IrDA Wireless Bridge to try to resolve the connection problem.  Something isn't working right and I can't figure out how to fix the problem.  The IrDA adapter is listing in the hardware option on the computer so it appears to have installed correctly.  The laptop has inconsistently recognized the USB connection when I plug it in however.  I can not seem to get the IrDA adapter to recognize my Z22.  I've got the Z22 set up to use the infrared to transfer information.  I have noted that the "beam" feature is ON.  I have looked at APPS and have observed that most of those options are "locked" and when I have clicked on "contacts" for example, it says it's a locked app and can not be beamed.  I don't know if that is part of the problem  or unrelated.  I also happened to observe that the Apps are listed as what to transfer with MODEM connection but I'm not sure why that is even showing as a connection option since I've never used the modem to connect.
    I can successfully use my Z22 to connect via USB cable to my Vista 32-bit computer system.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong in my attempts to use the adapter and connecting the Z22 with the new laptop. 
    I'm not sure what else to do and would very much appreciate some help with this.  Could someone PLEASE tell me what I may be doing wrong re: the setup connection between the adapter and Z22 or any other ideas re: what the problem may be concerning why I'm not yet being successful in getting this setup to work...? 
    Many thanks in advance for any assistance with this problem.
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    Sorry for the delay in replying (bet you were hoping this worked, huh?) but it has taken some time to uninstall & reinstall the Palm software and make numerous attempts to configure the information to again try to sync the Z22 with the laptop.  I went back to amazon.com and located the device I'd purchased to confirm it would work with the 64-bit Vista.  Someone had posted their success in using the adapter for exactly what I need to do - sync my Z22 with a 64-bit Vista computer.  That consumer's posting noted: "The USB 1510 provided the solution. As soon as I plugged it into the USB port of the laptop, Vista went online, found the driver, and installed it. I was able to set up IR Hotsync as I would have on any laptop with a built-in IRDA port."
    I don't know what problem I'm having but have noted that my palm desktop software doesn't note what device (Z22) is to be connected and I can't find anything in the HotSync manager that allows me to specify that device.  For some reason, I had gotten an error message and it referenced a Treo connection which is odd since I don't have a Treo and I downloaded this Palm desktop from the Z22 site online...?  I did note my software on my Z22 is a v. 5 but when I checked various support sites online, it appears to indicate that version on my Z22 would be compatible with the Palm 6.2 version I just downloaded to my computer (and I can't find any information to indicate a newer software for my Z22 is available or how to do that either).
    So, I'm back to not being able to get my Z22 to be recognized by my computer via the infrared adapter.  I'm hoping that some of the added information I've been able to provide may give another clue of something else I can try before I have to give up and contact Amazon to return this device and either try to decide what other device may be an option.  I had checked with a local computer supply store here but they don't carry any type of device for this purpose so that's why I resorted to searching online for a solution to this problem.
    Thank you in advance for any assistance you may still be able to provide.  I really do appreciate your time with this matter.

  • Palm Z22, Vista, AMD Phenom X4, Asus will not sync

    I have a Palm Z22 and a computer with an AMD Phenom X4 CPU, an Asus motherboard, and Vista.
    Sync problems range from unrecognized device to no progress when HotSync tries to connect.
    I have worked with Palm techs and with Microsoft and tried every trick I have read about including modifying the register.
    My hardware vendor has also tried, including going back to XP with no luck on this hardware.
    Has anyone had success connecting in this configuration?
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    I do not have bluetooth on either the PC or the Palm, but I have tried a USB to IrDA dongle.  No help, same result.
    In my most recent attempt, the USB driver window in the lower right says the Palm driver is loaded.  I also have an entry in the USB window that says an unidentified device has been found.  Sometimes I get the window that says connecting.  Next, the Palm shows that the connection could not be established.
    Just tried again to sync with the cable, and the USB window in the lower right reports that the device is not working correctly, replace the device.  As mentioned before, the Palm works perfectly on my old XP based machine and on another Vista computer
    The Desktop software from Access has a note that it will not work with multi-CPU machines; however, it also states that this does not apply to multi-core CPUs.
    Is it possible that I am the only person using a multi-core CPU ?  Or maybe the AMD quad-core Phenom is seen as multiple CPUs. The speed advantage of this CPU and motherboard are why I selected this configuration.

    I have already put on the Palm (using my old Windows 2000 computer), but I cannot sync my Palm.   I already downloaded  the 6.2 software, but it does not work.  I also downloaded  the PalmHotSync application.  But, it keeps asking me for a user name, and I am afraid that it will only sync one of the users on my Palm which has many users.  I want to sync the entire Palm.  And once I use this software, will it backup what I put on the Palm?  Which desktop software will it use.
    Post relates to: Palm m500

    Your Palm has only one HotSync name associated with it.  That is the name you need to enter.
    Open the Hotsync app. and look in the top right corner for the name.   This should sync the entire amount of data to your PC.
