Tool for synchroniz​ing multiple Palm Desktops across a network

Hello, I'm new to this site but it seems as though if there's an answer to my question it's here so I'm diving right in.
I have my handheld set up to synchronize with multiple computers.  I have a home desktop, work desktop, and laptop, each of which has Palm Desktop installed and knows how to sync with my handheld. Syncing any one of the PD installations is easy -- I've been able to get it to work over a variety of methods and am very happy with that.
The problem is that if (as happens frequently) I make some changes to the data on my laptop, then later some changes on my desktop, and then finally some other changes on my handheld, the only way to get all the systems in sync again is a series of hotsync operations driven by the handheld.  (Three in that case.)
What I'd like to be able to do is synchronize the two PCs directly, so that I only need the handheld to be involved in the process once.  I know there are tools to get PD to sync with other software like Outlook.   Are there any that sync PD with PD?
Thanks for your help!

Hello fruitbat and welcome to the Palm forums.
 As far as I know, there are no tools from Palm or any third-parties that will sync the Palm Desktop PIM databases between two computers without the handheld being involved.  Palm OS 5, Palm Desktop, and the HotSync Manager, where never intended to be network applications.

  • Palm Desktop 4.1.4 font size for Windows XP

    I run Windows XP and I have the most up-to-date Palm Desktop v. 4.1.4.  However, my Palm desktop font is so small I can barely read it.  I need to make the font larger so it's readable for my eyes.  I was advised to click on Tools, then go to preferences and change the font size there.  Unfortunately, Windows does not offer this solution.  What do I do now??  JIm

  • Type size for Palm Desktop

    Why is the newest version of Palm's Desktop software for Windows XP & Vista have such small type size?  It's at least 2 pts. smaller than my older version and very hard to read.  Is there a setting somewhere that I can't find which allows users to customize the type size in the Desktop?

  • Palm Desktop 4, W7 drivers & HotSynch working. Also, Desktop Text Size Increase.

    Hope this is of use to anyone wishing to continue using their Palm M515 (or similar).
    I am using the M515 with Windows 7 and have the HotSynch working fine.
    A) W7 Drivers
    - Download & Install "ACEECA Handheld Device Drivers" from "Access, Inc." OR "ACEECA International Limited"

    - Ignore the W7 error messages during Install.
    - Device Manager will report "This device cannot start. (Code 10)", but it will work perfectly.
    - The "device" will most likely appear as something like: "PCI bus 4, device 0, function 0"

    C) HotSynch Configuration
    - suggest you disable most of the sysnch options.
    - for 1st synch op., enable by default "Synchronize both ways". The Palm Desktop should prompt for username. Make sure you use the existing "user", ex "Paul" at the "input new user" prompt on Palm Desktop during the 1st time HotSynch. If you get it wrong, do not panic, you will create a new user and Synch all the same. Just repeat the operation with the correct name, verify the data is synched under both users, then delete the "duplicate".
    - After 1s Synch, set defaults for future Synch ops., ie. Synch Both Ways, or Handheld overwrites Desktop...et cetera. Think about how you use the Handhelp and where you generally input most fresh appointments and memos. Personally I "synchronize" both ways in order to no miss anything.
    NB: The M515 are being given away in 2nd hand shops. They are cheap & easy to find & work great. I have a collection. When one breaks I Synch to the next and never lose data. Unlike various "Smartphones" which have a tendency to break after just one bump or "fall", get stolen or just die!
    Long live PALM! Thank you for reliable products

    Thanks for this contribution, wobbly2010!
    The m515 was a great device in its time!  I used to tether it to my cell phone via cable, and then place it into the Palm IR keyboard turning it into a portable "tiny terminal" as I used to refer to it.  Mobile internet!  What a concept...

  • Unable to sync with Palm Desktop

    Here's my problem. I haven't been able to sync with my elderly Palm IIIC for about 2 years. Now my daughter gave me her Palm Zire 31. All my data are in my Palm Desktop on my iMac G5. Somewhere along the way I tried using iSync and got a bunch of stuff in my Mac address book. So I did a hard reset on the Palm Zire 31, then successfully hot-synced on my G5. But my nice address from my Palm Desktop file isn't coming over, just the crummy one from the Mac address book I think. My Palm Desktop address file has all the names in categories etc. I have tried making sure I have the correct conduits for syncing with the Palm desktop, and I tried telling the Sync operation to override with the Mac contents. I just want to move all my address data from my Palm Desktop on my Mac to the Zire. Any help here?

    If you want to move all of the address data from your Palm Desktop to your handheld organizer, there is only one way to do it: using the Palm-supplied conduits to do so, not iSync and it's built-in iSync Palm Conduit. The transfer of all of the data from the Palm Desktop, including categories, simply is not supported by iSync or the iSync Palm Conduit.
    The Missing Sync for Palm OS is an alternative, but you have to plan carefully how you do this, as you must first move the data from the Palm Desktop to either your device—or, through an export/import process—directly into both iCal and the Address Book. iCal task data doesn't survive this process, only calendaring data. In either event, categories don't transfer.
    You'll have to perform some manual categorization on both your device and in the Address Book, and iSync will not support these changes. It won't reverse or otherwise modify them, it simply won't synchronize them. This is the case because you must overwrite the data on your handheld the first time you use the Missing Sync for Palm OS to synchronize.
    The Missing Sync for Palm OS will, but only when using Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, and an advanced Palm device with Palm OS 5.4 or later on board, as I recall. Only the Z22 would qualify, if that contention is true. Here is a list of Palm OS versions tied to specific handheld devices:

    My Treo 600, with Palm OS 5.2.1, does not qualify as an advanced device and does not support categorization in the same manner as later devices do.

    Could you please share your experience for similar situation. Can SAP Loadrunner be used for mimic-ing multiple users same time on BPS.
    I also could not find any SAP benchmark for BPS. Could you please suggest some place for checking the same.

  • Migrate from Palm Desktop/OS 10.4 to OS 10.6 & new iPod Touch?

    I'm very dependent on Palm Desktop 4.2.2 to keep my life organized. My old Palm died long ago, but I like Palm Desktop more than any other alternatives I've seen. I've ordered a new iPod Touch. I'm pretty sure that, to use it with my iBook (running OS 10.4.11) that I'll need to upgrade to Leopard or Snow Leopard if I want to share info with the Touch.
    Moreover, I think I'll need to sever any ties to my beloved Palm Desktop: I don't think it's compatible with OS 10.6. I've explored similar posts, but haven't found an answer I could use or understand. So if someone knows of an online description of migrating from Palm Desktop to either the equivalent Apple products or to Google, I'd appreciate the URL.
    The main feature I like in Palm Desktop is the ability to create links between all the modules. For example, I can set an appointment with a doctor, then attach the doctor's contact information and attach a memo that has a list of questions and directions to the new office. My existing database is cross-linked between all these types of info.
    Is there any way I can retain these cross links when I migrate? Do any of the Apple PIM programs let you create these kinds of cross references with new information? Does Google or some other software let you do this better?
    From what I've read, it sounds like getting the information exported into a format that can be imported to a new program isn't easy. BTW, I'll also be migrating from Eudora to either Mail, Thunderbird mail, or some third party equivalent. I won't use any flavor of Outlook. Is there something about MobileMe that would make this migration easier?
    Can you tell that I'm operating on the very fringe of what I'm technically able to understand? I've stuck with Palm Desktop for 8 years. I'd appreciate any guidance anyone could provide -- in an easy, step-by-step way. Forgive me if this information exists elsewhere. Directions to that info also would be appreciated.
    Quickly exceeding my technological Comfort Zone,
    Marganne

    The Palm Desktop works fine with 10.6.6 (and even Hotsyncs to Palm, though I gather this is irrelevant to you). However it is dependent on Rosetta, so (avoiding speculation to conform with the terms of this Forum) were Rosetta to be removed in a future system upgrade the Palm Desktop would be inoperable.
    You're not going to be able to salvage the contents and use them in a linked fashion in the same way. It's possible to salvage the contents, though it's going to entail some work.
    MEMOS - Evernote (basic version free) is a good replacement and extremely flexible: its contents can be synced to an iPhone or iPod Touch. The contents of the Palm Memos can be imported into Evernote using the Palm Desktop Memos Importer for Evernote (free)
    CALENDARS - Palm Desktop menu File>Export and export Date Book as vCal. In iCal File>Import and import the vCal file into iCal - it will appear as an 'On My Mac' calendar. Use File>Export>Export to export this as an .ics file. Create a new calendar under your MobileMe login name (I'm assuming you've upgraded to the new MobileMe calendar) and import the .ics file into this. Delete the previously imported calendar. (If you don't want to use MobileMe just leave the imported calendar where it is.)
    You can't separate the Palm categories and you will need to go through it making any necessary adjustments.
    It's worth considering BusyCal, which is like  'Pro' version of iCal with much better handling of ToDos and many extra facilities. On an iPod Touch it's well worth considering Week Cal which, though I've not tried it, appears to be a much better calendar than the rather basic built-in one.
    TASKS - you will have to enter these manually, one at a time - it doesn't appear to be possible to import them into iCal. iCal won't handle repeating ToDos - BusyCal will. They also make BusyToDo for iOS which reads the ToDos from the MobileMe calendar and handles them separately and much better.
    ADDRESSES - you can export these as a vCard - select all first - and import that into Address Book (watch out for duplicates if you are already using Address Book).
    It's not clear if you have MobileMe: if you don't want to sync between computers or iPhone/iPod Touch you don't need it, but if you do it's the best way - Google and Yahoo have issues. However you should be able to sync to an iPod Touch using iTunes, though as I don't have this device I don't know whether there are any downsides.

    Did you upgrade from a previous version of Palm desktop? 
    Do you have all your current data on the Treo? 
    If you have your data in Palm desktop and it is current, export the data for backup purposes, uninstall Palm desktop 6.2 and re-install 6.2.
    Here are the export procedure instructions.
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
    Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
    Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
    With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
    Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
    With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

  • Hotsync does not update either Palm Desktop or Outlook

    I have had to move the hotsync of a Palm 270 and a Palm 650 to another computer  (Windows XP) because the primary computers for my wife and I are now on Windows 7.  The hotsync from the Palm 270 says that it backs up successfully (and the backup directory seems to be ok) but nothing shows up in either the Palm Desktop or Outlook.  I have changed the redirection to each one in turn.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled Palm desktop 4.2.2 and that doesn't work.  I have installed 4.2.2 on a vanilla laptop that has not been used before for hotsync (has only Palm Desktop on it) and it still does hotsync successfully but nothing show on the Desktop.  I was able to hotsync the 650 previously to the Palm Desktop and then migrated it over to outlook using third party software.  The 650 data was then downloaded to the Treo 750 ok (Windows 6). 
    Now I'm hoping to move the Treo 270 data to the Treo 650.  But I can't get the blankey-blank data to come up in either the Desktop or Outlook.  The Treo 270 is on its last legs and the clock is running for its demise.

There is work-around using bluetooth, but neither of these device have bluetooth. Also Windows 7 requires Palm Desktop 6.2.2 to work properly.

  • What are the file storage names for Palm Desktop 4.1.4? My data appears to be lost

    Hi,
    I am using Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and have the Application loaded on a Flash Drive. This was done long ago and maps to the E:.
    I am on Windows XP SP2.  I usually insert my flash into a USB port on my PC and start a shortcut which points to and starts the desktop off of the E: drive.
    I decided i wanted to also place the dekstop on my C: drive and started the install from the Flash drive. In my rush and stupidity, i did not correctly tell it to install to the C: and it ended up reinstall to the E:     So when i bring up the desktop, all is gone ! 
    I have looked and search in every way i can think of looking for files from .DAT, to .PDB, .PRC, etc etc.  If i take older version i find of many of these files and place them in the E:  root directory in which the desktop OPTIONS Menu says the data is stored, nothing changes.
    The OPTIONS menu under TOOLS in desktop states data files go to E:       
    The application is installed under E:\PalmDesktop
    The .EXE, .DLL, files are under E:\PalmDesktop   as well as under E:\      
    When the reinstall of the desktop occurred other folders that were under E:\PalmDesktop such as Components, Helpnote, Update etc and well as one with my name Brian don't appear to have been touched.
    I am not sure if my data is lost forever or not.   Can someone provide me with the exact file names that data in the desktop such as "Contacts"  is stored in so i can try to find them. I must admit i have never had such a difficult time finding the  data files for other products as i have with this one, but then again maybe thats a good thing.
    Thanks in advance for anyones help - Brian

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
    I understand and sympathize with your situation, and your question is frequently asked and answered here.  Whether you will be able to connect your older Palm Vx with a Vista computer is mostly dependent on what version of Vista your new computer runs...32-bit or 64-bit.
    This thread discusses how to synchronize your older Palm with a Vista computer with the assistance of a free utility provided by www.pimlicosoftware.com .  Note, the USB connection will only work with 32-bit Vista computers, because there are no 64-bit drivers and probably will never be any.  If you get a 64-bit Vista computer, your only choice will be to try synchronizing with an infrared adapter.  See this recent thread for one user's success story.

  • Cant get Palm desktop to download for a Tungsten-E

    hi guys, I have an OLD Tungsten-E, and I cant get the Palm Desktop to download to my new(er) windows 7....any ideas?
    thanks!

    When you attempt to HotSync, what happens?  Any error message?
    IIRC, the internet connection part was nothing important.. Are you saying Palm Desktop does not appear on your computer if you choose "No."?
    Is the HotSync Manager running?  Can you see the red and blue icon in the tool tray of the PC?
    Might try a "Clean Uninstall"/reinstall of Palm Desktop.
    Here are the clean uninstall instructions.
    You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something happens. You can find your data files by going to C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and copy. Then go to your PC desktop, right click on a blank spot and select paste. You can skip the first step above because of the data not being current.
    Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do with Palm Desktop from your computer. Like the above folder, delete the Palm folder. Once this is done, you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System registry.
    Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC to not start up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them everything they need to delete. To retain your current Registry settings, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
    On the PC, go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
    Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents or you can change to a location you will remember. In the file name box, type "Regbackup[todaysdate]" i.e. Regbackup07072008. Next, the hard part.
    The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
    If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician. BUT do not turn off your computer.
    The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here but if they are delete them)
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install *
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc. * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
    Next reboot your computer
    Then reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you did not sync before you create a hotsync name.

  • 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?

    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:

    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.
