Syncing with a Palm Centro

Not sure if this is the right section or not but I have going to have to switch cell phones. I currently have a Katana (with Sprint) and I want a cell phone that will sync with my Power Mac G4 Quicksilver. In looking at the list of Mac-compatible phones I cannot tell if this particular model can sync. Is anyone out there using a Palm Centro (and does it sync ok with Mac)? I am interested in my address book, calendar and pictures primarily but would settle for just the address book and calendar. This having to make two different calendar and address book entries is time consuming. Thanks in advance!

Wrong forum area. the iSync forum area is best. However, I googled Palm Centro and iSync and got this:

Can't sync with my Palm calender/contacts

Just bought the iphone 3G and have got it pretty much up and running with music, emial, etc. Problem is when I log in to itunes I can't figure out how to sync with my old palm info. It only provides Yahoo contacts, Google, Outlook, and Windows as contact sources. No other options? I was told at the store I could sync with my palm data.
Any suggestions?

I have a palm tungsten on my win xp on my laptop. I use outlook express and IE. I would like to move the palm contacts folder which includes phone numbers on to the iphone. What settings do I choose for the synching with itunes? How do I export the palm folder? Thanks much for help, irenes

Nubie with Tungsten E2 with Mac sync, now have Palm Centro... can I sync both?

I have been using a Tungsten E2 for about 12 months, and now have a Palm Centro phone. I need to use both, and don't know what I should do about loading both disks on my Mac OS X 10.4.11 and if I can sync both. Any thoughts?

You can sync both, but it is recommended that you have two different usernames for both devices. If the Centro is to become the main device you can sync the device to the same username of the E2. But the E2 then should be hard reset and synced with a different username.
Reason this is, is so the devices and programs that run do not have problems in the future. If you have two different devices with the same username you can risk corrupted data, programs, and OS.
If you have any questions please post back.

Outlook 2007 not syncing with my new Centro

Just got a Cento to replace my Tungsten E. Where I work, we are not able to install our own software, so a tech comes on remotely, logs admin rights on to my computer and installs the software. They helped me install the software, it sets up fine, and both the computer and the device think they are syncing with my Outlook 2007, but no data transfers in either direction. I called Palm, and they told me to install and reinstall the software, which the techs helped me to do, but still no sync data moves with sync.
Called Palm back and now they want me to get my own admin rights to install the software under my own login. This may be a challenge, and will take several days to accomplish if at all.
Questions are: Will this actually solve the problem? It does not make sense to me. Also, and more importantly, is there another way to fix this problem? I run Windows XP and Outlook 2007. Brand new Centro with latest Palm software. I would really like this solved, as I really need to use this PDA for my work.
Thanks to whomever can help me!!

I assume you are trying to sync locally and not with an exchange server.
If you have Palm desktop 6.2, this includes the Outlook 2007 conduits. If you have not tried this, Go to start-programs-palm-pimconduit sync and change the sync to Outlook. In hotsync manager, look beside the conduits and see if it says Outlook.
You typically need to install Palm desktop under your user logon with admin rights, as stated by the previous techs. If the admin logs on and installs under that persons logon, only that person will be able to use Palm desktop and Outlook with their logon.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

Problems with Outlook Calendar syncing with my Palm TX

I have recently started have problems getting my Palm TX to sync with Outlook 2003 Calendar. I don't have any issues with Contacts or Tasks syncing. In the Hot Sync log, I get the following error code "OLERR:03-0024 (0x8000ffff)". Any ideas what causing this?

Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Relates to Palm TX but probably applies to other Palm's.
I had same Calendar sync problem but with Outlook 2007 (Win XP). One day I could sync, next I could not. I tried resets, re-installing software, running DbFixIt but nothing worked. I kept getting a log saying "Sync with Calendar had failed."
The solution turned out to be more simple than I imagined. Just make sure you have the Microsoft 2007 patch installed if you are running Office 2007.
Here goes...
Right click on the sync symbol on your PC. Left click on "Custom" from the drop-down menu.
Under the Custom menu, select Calendar (Outlook). On the right side click "Change".
Make sure the button is checked for "Syncronize the files".
Next click on Settings. Decide what you prefer, e.g Handheld wins" in the drop-down menu.
You might also decide you want to sync two computers (e.g. a desktop and a laptop). You will see an option to apply that setting on the same Setting menu.
Click OK. Then you MUST make sure the "Set As Default" box is checked for this to take effect in future.
Finally click "OK".
If you are having the same problem with Contacts, it is the same procedure except you pick Contacts (Outlook) in the Custom menu.
It fixed my Calendar sync problem and everything is back to normal.

ICal fails to Sync with my Palm Treo yet my iPod does!

iCal is a nightmare for me! Throughout much of 2007 it continually failed to refresh and update itself when I sync'd with my Lifedrive via Missing Sync. During Dec 07 I decided to perform a clean install of Leopard on a Cleaned Hardrive in my Powerbook. I also purchased a Treo 680 phone. When MarkSpace issued a Leopard version of Missing Sync I performed a sync with my data from .Mac via ical/AB. The first sync worked great.
Since then, only 1 in my be 24 syncs have successfully transferred from iCal to my Treo ot Vice Versa. 99% of data entries are made on my Treo but they don't show up in iCal.
AB is mostly fine. Although the odd Contact address seems to disappear and Missing Sync occasionally throws a wobbly by unregistering it's Conduit.
Today I remembered that my iPod can link to iCal/AB so I thought I would test whether the data from my Treo was getting through to Sync Services. YES IT DOES!
So my iPod is completely uptodate with my Treo yet iCal refuses to do anything.
Has anybody got any ideas as to what I need to do to sort iCal out!
Many Thanks

Hi there,
I do have almost the same problem with Leopard/iCal/Treo/Missing Sync.
The guys from Missing sync announces some special issues when using this setup.
And they say: it's related to Apple, cause they changed something in the iCal structure. And therefore syncing my Treo with Missing Sync and iCal doesnt work at all. I do understand that Apple likes to push us poor Palm users to buy the new iPhone... but I wont, cause it is too expensive yet and... last not least, I'm quite happy with my Treo for the last couple of years.
Thin it is a shame that Apple prevents the further use of Palm devices in that rediculous way. Not very funny.
So, back to your question: basically there is no solution yet. Missing Sync blames Apple for it, Apple doesn't say anything about that issue.
Let's get back to ancient times and edit your calendars double. Either iCal and nanually on your Palm device. Great! Welcome to the 21st century.

Can't sync palm centro with Mac G4 and palm software 4.2.1

I just purchased a palm centro690 smart phone. My service is with verizon. I have a Mac G4 with OS 10.4.11. I already had palm software installed on my computer and was using the palm calendar as my main calendar. My calendar and address data won't sync with my palm centro. I've tried changing the settings of the conduits to 'MacIntosh overrides device'. I've tried removing and then reinstalling the palm software as well. Strangely enough, the memos and the tasks did hotsync. I spent around 2 hours with palm tech support and nothing is working. I'm not completely sure, however, that I correctly removed the palm software from my desktop before reinstalling the new software. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Allen G
Thank you so much for your reply. I did speak to a different customer service person at Palm tech support. I think that the problem was that I had a different username on my device (from a previous test) and after changing that and doing a hard reboot of the phone and also changing the settings on the proper conduits, it is now working. I had tried changing the settings on the conduits before, but I think that it had synced with the wrong username on the device for some reason. It now seems to be working.

Only Able to Wirelessly Sync Palm Centro One-Time Before Needing to Reboot My PC to Sync Again

I'm using a Bluetooth dongle to sync between a Palm Centro and my PC, which uses the Windows Vista 64-bit and Outlook 2007. After an unbelievable four hours on the phone with Palm support, I was able to synchronize wirelessly because that was the only option available.
All synchronizations have been problem free for at least four months and then for reasons that escape me, I can only successfully sync once, without having to reboot my PC. It seems that each reboot is good for one sync. When I try to sync more than once, I get the following error message on my Centro:
"Unable to initiate hot sync operation because the port is in use by another application."
I am probably going to be upgrading to Windows 7 over the next month or two and am a bit concerned with the problems I've seen from people who've gone from Vista to Windows 7, who did not have any problems under Vista. The only reason I mention this is because of whatever solution that is suggested, hopefully it will also work under Windows 7.
It is great to have a community that helps with Palm. Thank you very much.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

The Bluetooth work around as worked for most customers and does not for some. This is for both Vista 64 and Windows 7 64. With your case it sounds like the Bluetooth partnership needs to be renewed. To do that delete both partnerships from the device and then re-add them.

Sync with an application that now syncs with my handheld Palm 505

I have a contact management program that I sync with my Palm Handheld. The hand held has OS V 4.0, is it possible to sync with a smart phone like Centro or Pre? The contact management program is called TopProducer. A real estate contact management program. I am not married to the program. I am able to export the contacts, but I don't like to loose the notes.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

You would have to ask the maker of the program. Check their website.
You most likely will have to get an upated version of the program that runs on PalmOS 5.x, but still will read the old data files.

Palm Centro Issue With Yahoo Mail Plus POP via Versamail

I have a Palm Centro and have been using Versamail for 3 1/2 years with my Yahoo Mail Plus account via POP. On September 12th I stopped having the ability to send or receive POP email on my Yahoo Mail Plus account. I have spoken with Sprint & Yahoo. I have done all the steps they have asked and I have even gone as far as replacing my phone with another Palm Centro and still have the same issue. I know the config is correct as it was working for so long. I can use my Gmail POP in Versamail fine. I receive the error when setting up the Yahoo Mail Plus account in Versamail when I click on "Test Settings" I receive the following... "Error connecting to server. Please check your network or server settings and re-sync." Does anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

actually some e-mail providers like yahoo free account, msn mail and free hot mail does not work with the mail application, as you told me that it needs to enable the pop server for such mail
and about the iphone are you sure that ur using the mail application in iphone, you must be using safari to browse through ur mails
yahoo mail plus is compatible with the mail application but it comes for a price so here you could either use safari to go through your mail or go in for some other free account like AOL which will work with the mail application

Intellisync Handheld Edition with Palm Centro / OS 5.4.9?

Hi there!
I am thinking of upgrading my AT&T Wireless phone to a Palm Centro so I can combine my old Palm Vx with my phone. The Centro uses Palm OS 5.4.9, according to the spec sheet. I currently synchronize my old Palm Vx using Intellisync 5.3.2, as I have to synchronize to Outlook 2003 and Lotus Organizer 5.0.
Does anyone on this board have experience with using Intellisync with a Palm Centro? If so, which version of Intellisync have you used? Per the Nokia tech support, Intellisync 6.0 is compatible with Palm OS 5.4, so it should be compatible with 5.4.9. I just need to ensure I can synchronize my Lotus Organizer 5.0 with the Centro phone, as I believe the Outlook 2003 isn't a problem.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. I would have to do some research on intellisync as it is not something supported by our support. But in this case intellisync will not be necessary since your data is in Outlook 2003. When you get your Centro install the software that comes with it. During that installation it will ask you if you want to sync with palm desktop or outlook. Select outlook and it should put your outlook data on the centro for you. You will not need the old device or intellisync to accomplish this. I would however, recommend that once you have the centro in hand you call our tech support at 8774263777 to help walk you thru the first setup and sync.

rhaw,
Please post any info you find regarding the compatibility of the Palm Centro with Intellisync Handheld Edition. As I said in a previous post, I still maintain data in Lotus Organizer 5.0 that will need to be sync'd with the Palm Centro.
Thanks.

How to sync my Zire 31 with the palm Desktop Software on a Windows 7 PC

Hi everybody
My notebook died (vista) so I had to buy a Windows 7 hp model.
Now I could install the software but the PC doesn't recognize my handheld device.
A sync is not possible.
Can anybody tell me how I can make my device known to the system or do I have to leave the Palm world altogether an buy me an ipod?
I would really like to keep syncing with my palm.
Thanks in advance.

List of email clients/address books that will sync with palm desktop 6.2

Is there (and if not, I think there should be) a list somewhere of email clients whose address books will sync with a palm Treo (palm Desktop version 6.2)? I have been happily using various palm handhelds for about 6 years now and have been syncing the address book with Mozilla and now Thunderbird for the last couple years. I currently have an m130, but it's time to upgrade to a "smart phone" as I'm tiering of carrying around two devices. Unfortunately, the Treo requires palm Desktop version 6.2 which is not compatible with the Thunderbird palm sync. I have had the idea that Outlook (which I've never used or been exposed to) will sync with palm, but something I read gave me the impression that I would need to buy some third party software to make that happen, plus the $110 they want for Outlook. I would like to think there are other choices for someone who just wants to sync their smart phone with their email client's address book. It seems that such syncing ability would be esential to palm's sales and that a listing of all such syncing possibilities would be extremely beneficial to sales, particularly for new sales to people aren't already insiders on this sort of topic. The lack of ability to sync with Thunderbird may just cause me to stick with my old m130 awhile longer and give up on the idea of a nice new smart phone.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Wow, thanks a bunch! You just saved me from a long, involved, and discouraging search for an alternative. I'm using WindowsXP, palm m130, palm desktop 4.1, Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 and Thunderbird's palm sync conduit palmsync-2.0.0.x-wsm . I'm wanting to purchase a Treo 700 on ebay, but went to the palm site, clicked on the support link, then the Treo 700, then the downloads tab and it directed me to desktop 6.2, which made me believe I would have to use that to sync a treo 700.
I do wish that both palm and Thunderbird would talk more about the palm Thunderbird palm sync. Unless you're a real geek or very determined (I'm the later), you're not likely to find out that such capability exists. I can't believe I'm the only one out there who needs to have my email client address book contacts with me all the time, so there has to be others who are looking for this.
Next stop, ebay - I have a smart phone to buy.
