Treo 680 on Vista - Sync trouble when changing from Beta to new system! Help!

I have had my Treo 680 for about a year now. When I got it I found that the wonderful people at Palm never configured it to ruhn on Vista which had already been around for about 2 years at the time. Consequently, I never could use all the features ( certain media, etc.) because I had to run the Beta system. Additionally, the people at Palm told me when I called last year that the error messages I get after syncing were just something I'd have to get used to.
Fast forward to today. I go to the Palm site and I see that Beta has been replaced by a system that works with Vista. As I write this right now, I am in the process of syncing and it is stuck on " sycronizing Date Book". I have already tried reinstalling the new Vista version and re syncing again. What should I do to get this thing to work. For five cents, I'd go buy a new G phone from T Mobile and just switch over via importing data to Outlook which I currently don't use and the be done with Palm, ... but I can't even do that because I can't sync the Palm unit anymore with my PC!!!  Any help is appreciated.

DbFixIt is a database scan and repair program that can be found by doing a google seach and clicking on the first result that appears. It's made by Pimlico and after you down load the trial. You'll need to install it to the device. Unzip it and then double click the .prc file. You should get a message that it will be install during the next sync. Then you need to disable the Calendar conduit. Right click the hotsync icon just the the left of your computer clock. Goto settings, the Applications. Locate Datebook or Calendar (Or both) And uncheck them.
Then try to sync. This will install the program on the device if the sync completes. Locate the program on the 680 and open it. Once it opens click the top left hand corner and select Delete Calendar blobs. Once that's done you can run the Easy scan, it should tell you what calendar events are 'bad'. Then you can fix them manually. If you want to program to fix them automatically then you'll need to buy it.

  • Treo 680 won't sync calendar and contacts but everything else OK

    I  bought a Treo 680 off of Ebay. It is unlocked.  ATT phone but I use T-Mobile.  PHone works just fine but I can't use the Palm organizer for calendar or contacts.   I have hard reset several times.  WHen I do everything works except the contacts and calendar.  When I push those buttons or try to open those apps the Treo immediately resets and never opens up the app.
    OS of  Mac?       10.5.6
    Using  Palm desktop
    Version of Palm Desktop    4.2.1, Hot SYnc 5.4.0
    Version of your device?  TREO680-1.09-ATT
    Is this a software problem?  DO I not have the right software in the computer?  DOes Treo not work with Mac OS 10.5?
    Also how is it possible to sync with Entourage?  I use that for email and see that others sync it to their phone to read emails.
    Thank you

    I followed your advice on another post.  Took out the battery and pressed teh red power button until the black line went all the way through to end and pressed the English language button.
    I think I solved teh problem though it is not elegant.  I created a new user name and everything little that it was in the new calendar and on the Palm synched perfectly.  Then I copied my old user data, replaced it in the new user id folder.  Some stuff came through, some did not.  WHat I have found is in the contacts, if I just click on the contact and put it in a category it syncs next time with the Palm.  WIth the calendar in the conduit settings I told it to go from Mac to Handheld and everything came through.
    If you have any other advise I would appreciate it.  Especially how to sync with Entourage since I now use that as my email program.
    Thanks

  • Treo 680 won't sync with Exchange

    I had a 680 that died and got a replacement under the factory warranty.  The new one arrived and is unable to sync with my Exchange server.  I have the username and password and server address all identical to the older phone (running older software.)  I keep getting AirSAMStateMachine.c 1913 103 error, which appears to be related to certificates (according to the forums.)  I beg to differ because several colleagues have recently upgraded their Palm software to match mine and they can still sync with our Exchange server.  I need an honest-to-goodness real-life solution please!  I've messed with settings, tried with and without SSL, performed soft resets on my phone after importing the certificate exported from our mail server, deleted the account on my phone, created a new one...on and on and on.  Palm continues to waste DAYS of my productivity and this is just another instance where the product just doesn't work and the messages are so vague and the support is so non-existent that I have no clue where to turn.  I'm hoping these forums can provide some insight.  Everything synced up fine with my old phone.
    Thanks for your time.
    Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

    After 2 hours on chat with a technician and an hour on the phone with another technician, I finally got bumped up to Tier 2.  We established that I had to DELETE my Exchange account and start over.  I burned an entire day on this but that is what fixed my problem.  The error I was continually getting was "103 - Data too large"  Even though my old phone synced up just fine and even though I could sync a colleague's 1000+ item inbox, I couldn't sync my 11 item inbox.  Get a new phone = delete your Exchange account and start all over.  I'm glad I don't have to buy a new car everytime I need new tires.  Thanks, Palm, for not needing to know the cause of the problem (my data was NOT too large), just the painful solution (who doesn't like to delete their Exchange account?)
    I can't wait to switch to Windows Mobile.

    i have tried this out. while this may work on Sprint, it does not work on Unlocked devices. Finally with no solution from Palm on this particular issue i had to switch to a windows based mobile. I am a Palm fan, but looks like Palm does not care about this.
    Nothing to do with Sprint: using domain\username in place of the username in VersaMail has been confirmed on the Centro on the AT&T network. I think the Centro runs a newer version of VersaMail than the 680 (the 680 was released in the Fall of 2006). Perhaps that is the difference?
    The last software update was in January 2008, to support direct push email (http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/treo/680/unlocked/solutions/article/10807_en.html). I doubt you will see more, considering that this device has been discontinued.
    I'm running Windows Mobile now. I miss the PalmOS calendar, but I don't miss VersaMail.

  • Treo 680 GSM Crashes and Reboots when using Instant Messaging Software

    I've had this problem since I got the phone last week and haven't had the time to look into it at all.  Whenever I use the AIM software provided by AT&T or a 3rd party software such as Toccer the phone will crash and reset if i leave the program or recieve a text message/phone call.
    I know you'll want the crash info so here's the message:
     A CRash Occured on 7/13/08 at 1:11am while running "application"
    Emul68kMain.c, line:456, line 1111 exception at address 7323673E
     I had originally thought it was just the software that AT&T provided but when it did the same thing with Toccer I began to wonder if it was a bug in the phones firmware.  Can you guys be of any assistance?
    Thanks in advance

  • Trouble when upgrading from android 4.2.1 to android 4.4.2 on Lenovo S920 series

    Dear Lenovo,
    I was using Lenovo smartphone S920 series since January,2014 until now. When November 2014, I Got notification from Lenovo trough OTA system update for upgrade my Lenovo android from 4.2.1 version to 4.4.2 version. In my first 3 month using my Lenovo S920 with new OS android 4.4.2 kit Kat, nothing happen with my Lenovo smartphone. Until in the middle of February 2015, my smartphone became trouble. The device is getting overheating, 3G signal is wasn't detected in 1st slot simcard, but when I was change into 2G mode the signal is detected and the device is wasn't overheating.
    On that time I was decided for bring me smartphone to the lenovo authorized service center to fixed it. When I was coming the technician officer was explained me that the trouble was caused by OS upgrading. And should be downgrade back to the 4.2.1 jelly bean version,because the 4.4.2 kit Kat version from OTA Lenovo is doesn't stable and caused the damaged on 1st 3G SIMCARD slot. Honest I felt curious,why Lenovo sent Over The Air to upgrading the OS if that isn't stable. On that time the technician officer at Lenovo service center decided to change my smartphone platform machine with a new one, and of course with e new IMEI serial number.
    From my bit explanation above, I need a favour from Lenovo team the answer my of question below :
    1. Is that true if the damaged was caused by the unstable kitkat OS which sent by Lenovo over the air? And why?
    2. After the service center was change my Lenovo S920 machine with a new one, since April 2015 later, now I was back receiving a notification from Lenovo for upgrading the OS from 4.2.1 to 4.4.2 version, I was receiving the notification almost 10 times since the service center fixed my lenovo. Is that save if I'm back upgrade the OS as Lenovo sent me the notification?
    I am living in the Indonesia country.
    I need a favour for Lenovo team give me the explanation of my question above.
    Thank you,
    Warm regard.

    Hi,
    I have seen this problem.
    I assume that Apex 4 do not give fxx name to items anymore in order where columns are in query.
    This is one of reasons why we have not been yet able to upgrade.
    And it seems this same problem exists in Apex 4.1 on apex.oracle.com

  • Retrieving Missing Sync Settings When Upgrading From an Older Version of Firefox to the latest version.

    I initially set up my Sync account using an add-on for an older version of Firefox and have since upgraded to the latest version. But now my browser acts as if I don't have a sync account set up at all. When I attempt to create a new account, it says that my email address is already being used which tells me that my sync information is still on the the servers. So how do I retrieve my sync settings when settings are missing within my browser?

    I resolved the problem in Snow Leopard by logging out of my (admin) account and logging into my daughter's account on the same machine. She doesn't have admin privileges, so when I tried to install Firefox 4 in her account, I had to authenticate with my admin identity and PW. Installation went smoothly after that. My guess is that you could also simply create a new account on the same machine and install Firefox 4 from that. I have no idea why this works.

  • Access 2010 on 64 Bit Windows 7 Access "Not Responding" when changing from forms view to design view and back

    I am running
    Windows 7 64 bit
    Access 2010 32 bit
    Developing an application with a split FE BE with both files local but continue to have the message "Not Responding" when switching from forms view to design view and back as well as if I try to connect to a subform or object on the sub form.

    I have seen this behavior when the form's RecordSource is a complex query such as a crosstab or a query with several nested queries. To test if this is your case, remove the RecordSource and see if the form starts acting normal again.
    Then again, if the form has several subforms they might be slowing up the loading time.

  • Switch has changed from "no rotate" to mute - HELP

    I reluctantly updated my ipad to the newest OS and now my "no rotate/rotate lock" switch mutes my audio instead of is previous function. Please tell me how to stop my ipad screen from rotating automatically. When i purchased the ipad this feature was there so i am sure it would not have been taken completely away, please help - this is frustrating.

    Did you bother to search this forum? This has been answerered dozens of times. The switch changed from orientation lock to notification mute. To lock orientation, you go to the multitask tray (hit home twice), slide the tray to the right, and click the lock icon.

  • Migration Date when migrating from classic to new g/l

    Hello gurus,
    I am planning a migration from classic to new g/l, but this fiscal year it will be not possible to finish phase 0 (from migration model plan). Is it possible to do it in the middle of the new fiscal year, what are the withdrawls or issues? what do you recommend me? What strategy can I use?
    Thanks,

    Hi Silvia,
    There is differnce in migration date & activation date. Migration date will always be the firts day of new fiscal year.
    But as on migration date you have to bring your config changes to PRD.

  • ? The prints from Elements are not as sharp as when printed from the card Why? help please

    The prints from the memory card are much sharper than  when printed from Adobe Elements Is this normal or is there a reason ? help please

    ECol a écrit:
    As far as I am aware the card is read by the computer as it is without any form of enhancement and sent to the computer and printed.
    If I print from the Photo Gallery the prints are as sharp as above.
    I would have expected printing from Photoshop to be the same.
    No, that's not that simple. Printing means resizing (resampling) most of the time and depending on your printer type/printer driver, a default sharpening is generally applied.
    By the way, more sharpening does not necessarily mean better quality. That's the advantage of being able to control both resizing and sharpening from the editing software. There has been many books written on the 'art' of sharpening.
