T3 Bluetooth Hotsync with Vista

Oh somebody please help me!!
I have a T3 and I'm running Vista. After searching through the messages and trying different upgrades/downloads...I finally succeeded in upgrading to Palm Desktop 6.2 and configuring the T3 to HotSync via bluetooth. Yay...it was finally syncing!!
BUT as it was syncing, it got to Calendar/DateBook and locked up. It said that it completed "4 out of 16" and hung there. I had to go into Task Manager on the computer to officially stop the HotSync progress and get it off the screen. I checked and the Calendar version on the Palm is v1, the Datebook is v4.5.1.1P and the OS is v5.
What can I do??
Thanks,
Laurie

I just synched a Tungsten T3 with 64-bit Windows 7 using an Iogear USB Bluetooth adapter. Got the drivers from Iogear.com. Lots of steps to put it all together, but it worked! If it works in Windows 7, it will work in Vista.

TX hotsync with Vista, Hot Sync 7.0 hangs when updating date book

Hotsync of my Palm TX, with hotsync 7.0, Windows Vista is failing. Hangs on date book, step 2 of 13. Have to kill task with task manager to recover.
Worked a few times after initial install.
Log says did not transfer all data items to desktop. Suggests increasing the limit??
Don't see a way to increase the limit on data items.
Any suggestions?

Go over to www.pimlicosoftware.com and get dbfixit, run it and see if it finds any corruption. If it does you can either manually fix them for free or purchase the program and have it fix it for you. Then try to sync again.

Palm Centro Bluetooth Sync with Vista 64bit

I just got a Palm Centro and was able to go all the way through configuring both the Palm Centro and the PC to see each other. I created a virtual COM port (COM5) and selected that port as my Serial Connection.
That is when it stops working. Pressing the HotSync button on the Centro gives me the following error...
Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application.
This port was just created, how can it be in use?
Thanks, John

Did you check bluetooth under connections in Hotsync Manager on the PC? Right click the hotsync icon and goto settings, then connections. Is bluetooth there and checked? If not do so.
Next delete the bluetooth connection on the device and try to recreate it. You shouldn't need to create the virtual port on a vista system. That step was for older versions of windows that didn't do that automaticaly.

HotSync with Vista and Palm TX

I have new Dell Inspiron; successfully installed Palm TX software and performed first HotSync. One month later I'm receiving error message after attempting the HotSynch "The connection between your device and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again." I have checked set and downloaded "Palm Desktop 6.2 for Windows" and still can't perform HotSync. I've tried all four USB ports on laptop; done soft reset; restarted laptop, all to no avail. HELP!!! I'm just about ready to go back to paper planner!!!

When you connect your device to your computer do not perform a hotsync. Instead open your device manager, you should be able to locate that in your Control Panel.
Once inside your device manager locate your Palm device. It should be located under Universal Serial Bus Controllers or Network Adaptors. Once you find it right click it and go to "Uninstall." As soon as you click uninstall unplug the device from the computer.
Plug it back in and it should come up with Found new hardware and hopefully you will be able to sync fine after that.
Let me know if that works out for you.

Cannot even START HotSync with Vista

Hello, I hope somebody can help me here...
I've bought a Palm Pre Plus a few days ago and since tried to synchronise it with my laptop.
I installed the newest Palm Desktop software and connected the phone via USB.
After installing everything I get a window asking me to connect the phone and press a "HotSync button" of some sort... but there is no press-able button on either the phone or the cable that works.
When I connect the phone it asks whether I want to just charge the phone or use the USB connection. If I choose the latter I can drag-n-drop stuff onto the phone (wallpapers & ringtones) but that's it.
Does anybody know what I should do? I have no idea what I did wrong or forgot to do...
Thank you very much!!
Post relates to: Pre Plus p100ueu (02)

With the Palm Pre, it does not "hotsync" like the previous Palm devices did. There is no native desktop sync. option.
With the PRE, you sync your data to an on-line service like the Palm profile, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, etc. With the Palm Profile, you only have access to the data on the device. There is no option to view the profile data on a PC.
There is a tool that Palm offers that will transfer your current data that is in Outlook or Palm desktop to the PRE and an on-line service. The tool is the Data Transfer Assistant. Go to Palm.com/dta to get the tool.
If you want to sync to Palm desktop or Outlook on your PC, you will need to use a 3rd party solution like Companion Link or the Chapura products Pocket Mirror for Outlook or Echo for Palm Desktop.

Have you tried pressing the tiny "Reset" button on the back of the device?
This will do a simple reboot.

Bluetooth Headset in Vista

Is there anyway to use a bluetooth headset with Vista? (Is it something to do with A2DP)
The headset I have works in Leopard (and previously in Tiger). It didn't require any driver software, and as far as I know there isn't any available for download from the manufacturer's site.
The fact that it works in Leopard should prove that the bluetooth card inside the Macbook Pro is capable of working with the headset, no?
Any help would be great, thanks.

I'm having similar problems. I have a pair of Logitech Freepulse A2DP headphones. They work fine in Leopard but not in Vista. They pair properly in Vista and say "connected" but no sound will transmit. I have tried testing and making sure the volume is up and everything but no dice.
My guess is that the Apple Bluetooth drivers don't support A2DP. Is this true?

Bluetooth HotSync Zire 31 & Windows Vista 64-bit

I'm having trouble setting up HotSync between my Zire 31 and a PC running 64-bit Windows. I'm on theProduct Support web page for the Zire 31 and have followed the instructions after buying a Bluetooth adapter and installing the software. In the Bluetooth Radio Properties Options I have checked "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer" in the Discovery box and, in the connections box, I have checked both "Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer" and "Alert me when a new Bluetooth device wants to connect." The Bluetooth adapter is on. I have downloaded and installed Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2 and have selected Bluetooth in the Connections screen of the HotSync manager.
When I go to the Prefs application on the Zire 31, the screen looks completely different from the instructions on the Product Support web page. I click on connections and Bluetooth is not included in the list of Available Connections. There is no opportunity to set up a Bluetooth HotSync or select my computer from a list of devices.
I've spent several hours on this problem, and, after reading on the Product Support web page for the Zire 31 that I needed Bluetooth to HotSync with 64-bit Vista, I ran out and bought the Bluetooth adapter. According to the Bluetooth Radio Properties window, the adapter and the Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator are working properly.
Please don't tell me that the Zire 31 doesn't have Bluetooth capability. I only got into Bluetooth after reading the Product Support web page for the Zire 31. I'd appreciate any help that you can give.
Thanks,
Carolyn

Hello cgg2000, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
Have you ever seen any reference to BlueTooth on your Zire31? That's because it does not exist on a Zire31...
Sorry. Your options are to use an IR (beaming) adapter, or depending on what version of "Windows" you have it might be able to run in "XP Mode". There are several threads concerning this option, but I've never done it myself since I don't own the most expensive versions of either Win7 or Vista64.

Hotsync Zire31 with Vista Home Premium 64 bit problems

I am unable to hotsync on my new pc with a Zire31. I have Desktop v 4.14E and Hotsync 6.0.1. I bought a Sigmatel USB to IRDA adapter which the literature says is compatible with Vista 64 bit. I installed the adapter and Vista searched and found the driver for it and installed the driver. I left clicked the Hotsync icon and set Local USB and Infrared. I launched Desktop. On the Zire31 I clicked on the hotsync in the menu not the hotsync icon. I changed the method to sync with IR to a PC/Handheld. I placed the IR within an inch of the IR on the Zire31 and clicked the Sync on the middle of the screen, "The PC displayed Another computer is nearby" , "Click to send files to the computer(my Zire31 name is here)". On the Zire31 a message "Unable to initiate HotSync because the port is in use by another application.
Can anybody help me?

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
Your question is frequently asked and answered here on the forums. There is no way to use a USB connection to Hotsync with 64-bit Vista desktops. Your solution is with Bluetooth as described in this thread stickied near the top of this board. You might also try Wi-Fi.

Trouble with Vista and Bluetooth

I'm having an issue with Vista SP2 and Bluetooth. I have Vista Home Premium SP2 running under Boot Camp on a MacBook Pro, and I have an Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard I need to pair with Windows. I followed the instructions listed in the Boot Camp manual, but Vista won't let me create my own passkey, it just "pairs" the devices for me. When I close the window, the devices do not show up, nor do they function. I called AppleCare support, and have talked with all of who could help me, and they have determined this is an issue with Windows and that I need help from Microsoft. They said I have to enter my own passkey to get it to work, and they do not know why I can't. They're thinking it has something to do with a Windows Update.
Just wondering what can I do to get these paired up and working. I really need these to work since my MacBook Pro is on a notebook riser and it's awkward to raise up and type and click in such an uncomfortable position.
Thanks!
Nathan

I cannot get the apple wireless keyboard to work with my Mac Pro (Feb-2008 model) under bootcamp and Vista Home Premium 64. I had to upgrade from 10.5.1 in order to use Final Cut Studio 3, so I downloaded and installed OSX 10.5.8 update. Then I ran bootcamp and installed Vista 64. Afterwards, in Vista I inserted the original OSX 10.5.1 DVD and installed the drivers so Vista would recognize the apple hardware.
I went to pair the wireless mighty mouse and apple keyboard and the instructions say to enter 0000 for the mouse, and enter an 8 digit or larger number for the keyboard. Since the keyboard doesn't work, I couldn't enter anything so I let the system choose a number for the keyboard and let the mouse go without a number. Both show they are connected but only the mouse works. I also tried letting the system generate a number for both but only the mouse works. I tried turning off the mouse but then the system doesn't detect the keyboard at all. For that matter, I don't even like the mighty mouse anyway and prefer to use the mouse with my Wacom tablet so I could do without the mighty mouse if that would somehow help.
Is there a known issue with 10.5.8 and bluetooth under windows vista 64? What should I do? I must have Vista 64 in order to utilize 3ds Max 2010 and I must have a keyboard to use 3ds Max. Is there a driver I can download to make it work or do I need to buy a generic USB keyboard?
Thanks in advace for any help with this. I am looking forward to finally getting this Mac all set up.

Bluetooth Mouse with Windows Vista

I have a 5 month old iMac and installed Vista on it and I was able to connect my bluetooth mouse and keyboard to it just fine.. But my brother-in-law just got a new iMac and I installed Vista on it for him and when I try to connect his bluetooth mouse with it it wont work it works in Mac OS X but wont let me connect it to Vista. It gives me some error about unable to pass passcode onto it or some junk..
Anyone have this problem and/or how to fix it?

It is probably unlikely to be the mouse but it could be. Otherwise my vista install took a good half hour to do the pairing for no real reason, I just kept trying. So from me just persist with it and try reinstalling the bluetooth driver, it seems to be a problem most people have a problem with the wireless mighty mouse at first I don't know why. Sorry I'm not helpful but as for as I now there isn't a solution because it will work.

Crossing HP Pavilion laptop with Vista to Toshiba NB205-N210 with XP? Usefulness of Bluetooth.

Is there a conflict in crossing over files from HP Pavilion laptop with Vista to Toshiba NB205-N210 with XP? Is Bluetooth necessary (or useful) on a Toshiba? I have Bluetooth on my Hp Pavilion.

A crossover network cable is one that is designed to connect two computers to each other through the LAN port without using a router. It sounds like you don't have any sort of home network to work from or have any experience in networking. Instead of wasting a lot of time posting methods that you might not be able to use why don't you start by telling us what networking methods you have available, if any.
Also, do you have an external USB hard drive? That might be easier to use for this.
Lastly, how much data are we talking about? That would have a large bearing on how we should go about this.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Has anyone used the Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse with Vista 64-bit.
My MightyMouse works and I am looking for another mouse so I can use this one with my other MBP.

Hi-
You can use it with any machine that will accept the receiver dongle.
I have a wireless notebook Logitech that my daughter uses with a G4 tower. Fits her little hand better than the "desktop" versions.

Palm Treo 755p -- bought new computer with Vista and downloaded Download Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2 -- now the sync does not work, asks for drivers

Hello...
I am new to the Palm (~1mo.) but I was using hotsync with my old laptop which had Windows XP and was not experiencing any real problems. That computer is going bye-bye, I bought an HP with the Vista OS and I followed the directions on downloading the Download Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2 from the website but now I can not get my device to sync-- The Desktop computer asks for the appropriate drivers. I tried searching online, on the disk that came with the smartphone and even reinstalling a couple times and everything is dead in the water...
Anyone able to help me out on this?
Is there an additional patch of some sort to download?
Post relates to: Palm m515

Just in case it is not clear... that post was made after I bought the bluetooth adapter and tried following the advice provided in the Vista 64 Hotsync solution found! post. Again-- my statement of not working is for the following reasons:
1) my PC tells me that the sychronization completed with errors.
2) when I look at the log that the Backup sychronization aborted.
3) It almost invariably tells me that it Failed to backup 1 file(s) and that file is "NetworkProfiles2" through a "Protocol Error: Unknown error. (6410)"
4) many of my contacts (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
5) many of my appointments (over half) duplicate during this synchronization.
The information about creating a virtual serial port on my PC comes from my actual palm itself. The palm info is in the HotSynch verbage and it tells me to contact my computer manufacturer. In doing so however they have no idea how to do this and Palm does not either. I am still working with HP on trying to resolve that part of it but I am thinking from the hours of research that Palm wants me to create another COM port but again the help I am finding on this is beyond my pay grade so to speak... you can check out the following link and try to help me if you like:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms885792.aspx
So... any ideas my friend? It appears that some Vista 64-bit users are having success with a bluetooth synch but I have tried emailing those that claim to have been able to do this with no luck. I am not having any luck (I hope my outline above is clearer)-- and no one has seemed to had any luck recently.
I would love to make this work-- I bought this phone for this functionality.
