Treo 700p won't HotSync with XP Pro

My Palm Treo 700p will no longer HotSync with Windows.  I have tried different cables, different operating systems, different computers.  I get the same message every time, which is "Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application".  Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks for the suggestions, after perusing the FAQ section I tried the soft reboot (disconnecting the battery and re-connecting) and that fixed both the HotSYnc problem and the Bluetooth problem, so I'm good.  Thanks again!

  • Treo 700p will not synchonize with my new computer.

     I recently purchased a new computer and the Treo won't sync with it.  After searching whatever I could on the web I found out that I can't sync because Outlook 2007 is not configured with work with this model and the treo was synced on my former computer. 
    How do I synchronize when the old computer is not available?  The directions tell me to sync on the old computer and then check sync with multiple computers.  I can't do this.  I downloaded a trial of Pocket Mirror and that won't work for the same reason.
    Thank you for your helo.

    What is the OS of your new computer?
    If the OS of your computer is windows vista 32 bit then you need to download the pds 6.2 from the website.
    if the OS of the computer is xp pro or home, you need to install the outlook 2007 conduit upadter to be able to sync to outlook 2007.
    but first we have to take a look what is the problem why you can't perform a HS. is it establishing a connection? or it would sync but hangs/freezes on a particular application? or it would sync but no data is transferred.

  • IPhone won't sync with MacBook Pro

    My iPhone 4s won't sync with my MacBook Pro.
    Running Mountain Lion 10.8.5.
    iPhone 7.1
    iTunes 11.1.5
    Last time I synced was March 17.  Can't remember if there's been updates on the phone.  None on the laptop.
    I'm so annoyed.
    I've done the usual shutdown/on again stuff.  Just can't get it to work.
    Any help would be appreciated. 

    Nevermind.  After reading through a bunch of fixes, one suggested resetting my modem, duh!!
    I certainly know to do that when the laptop is acting up, had no idea that would fix the iPhone too!!
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • Zoom keyboard shortcut won't work with "Italian Pro" keyboard, Zoom keyboard shortcut won't work with "Italian Pro" keyboard

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to get to the bottom of this mystery. "Italian Pro" is the keyboard I use almost all the time, and for some reason this zoom shortcut won't work. Another user assured me that "cmd-+" is the shortcut also in that keyboard. Mine doesn't work though. I have tried removing the keyboard and reapplying it. I've tried to use it on different browsers and different applications. I've even created another user and logged into that, installing the keyboard there. Nothing has worked, so can anyone suggest anything? What do I do next? (I know it doesn't seem like much but the issue really interferes with the flow of my things) Thank you!

    Is Italian Pro
    a. the keyboard, or,
    b. the keyboard layout
    you use all the time?
    for some reason this zoom shortcut won't work.
    What zoom are you talking about?
    The View > Zoom In command in Safari or Preview?
    The Universal Access > Zoom In function?
    The Zoom In command in some other app, eg, InDesign?
    Some other Zoom entirely?
    Another user assured me that "cmd-+" is the shortcut also in that keyboard.
    If we're talking about (b) and (1), then this 'other user' (his initials wouldn't be TG, would it?) was right. My keyboard is US QWERTY, and, if I switch to Italian Pro, ⌘-+ works. However, as the 'other user' has already told you, to do ⌘-+ with the Italian Pro keylayout on the US QWERTY keyboard, you have to press simultaneously the keys labelled ⌘ and ] -- as you can easily see in Keyboard Viewer.

  • Canon Pixma MP500 Printer won't print with MacBook Pro

    I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro to replace an older PowerBook G4 laptop. I have a relatively new printer - maybe one year old - a Pixma MP500 from Canon that worked fine with the old laptop. I can't seem to get it to work with the new MacBook. I can use it as a scanner no problem with the new laptop, but not as a printer. I installed the software from the original Canon CD, but when I go to "add printer" MP500 shows up in the list as a USB printer but won't add. When I try to add it I get a -9672 error. Anyone out there with any idea what to do?

    Hi, I actually did tried doing exactly that (should have mentioned it in my first email) and just tried it once more for good measure, but I still get the error message when I go to add the printer. So, MP500 shows up in my printer name list, with USB as the connection type, and print using shows Canon IJ Printer, but when I go to add I get "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Error: -9672". Help!

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse won't connect with MacBook Pro in Bootcamp

    I recently swapped my Bootcamp-partitioned hard drive from an older Core Duo MacBook to a late-2007 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro.  I had no problem using the wireless mouse with the MacBook.  I'd click on the Windows desktop once it booted up and it worked flawlessly.
    But on the newer MacBook Pro it won't stay connected.  I have to pair it with the Windows Bluetooth control panel each time I log in.
    I'm not sure if this is connected to the issue or not, but I'm not able to use the trackpad and buttons on the MacBook Pro keyboard either.
    I've seached the discussions without any success.  Advice anyone?
    Thanks in advance.
    Patrick

    Well, by some stroke of dumb luck it finally connected. I slid the on/off switch open until the green light started to blink, when the mouse connected I opened it all the way and decided to work.

  • PhotoSmart D110 won't scan with Macbook Pro

    Over the past few years of upgrades to my Macbook Pro, my ability to scan from the menu on my Photosmart D110 quit working. A message says scan from the computer. That used to work, but now the application to do that has disappeared. I have downloaded new drivers, but nothing has helped. Suggestions?  Thanks for any help.

    Hi , I see that you are unable to scan from the printer to the computer, using Yosemite. I would be happy to help you.
    The drivers for Yosemite are installed by the Apple Updates, HP Printers - Installing a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update. There won't be a option to set in the software to Enable Scan to Computer settings with the Apple Update drivers. It can only be enabled with the Full Software from HP. But it isn't available online for Yosemite. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.
      

  • Waves 9 won't work with logic pro x

    I downloaded waves v9 but it still won't show up on my Logic Pro.  It is a 64 bit polgin

    If... you have updated to the latest version of Waves 9
    and...
    You have correctly installed/activated/validated them using the Waves License Center and the Waves AU Reg Utility (That you must run after installing the updates..)  then they work pretty good with Logic.  I know.. I use them on a daily basis... No magic... no special tricks...
    The Waves plugins themselves still have a few bugs in them which is why Waves keeps updating them..(There have been several updates to Waves 9 since release across all platforms and not just OS X...)  but it isn't anything to do with Logic... Its programming bugs in the Waves plugins themselves that cause the remaining issues..
    So.. if you cannot get them to work properly, contact Waves support for assistance...
    https://www.waves.com/login?ReturnUrl=%2fcontact-support
    There is little if anything,  anyone here.. or at Apple.. that can do to help you.. and to think its a Logic Pro problem... is just misleading yourself and wasting your own time...

  • Projector Won't Work with MacBook Pro

    I'm trying to plug my projector in my MacBook Pro but for some reason when I plug my projector into my HDMI port on my MacBook it will change resolutions, go black, change resolutions, go black, and so on. It's a cycle and will only stay on each resolution for a few seconds. I would love to get this figured out so I can stream movies on a very large screen but it has left me scratching my head. I have a new MacBook Pro Retina 2.8GHz, 16 GB RAM, and Intel Iris Pro graphics coupled with the NVIDIA graphics if this helps. Also running the latest version of Yosemite.
    Thanks,

  • Palm v won't hotsync with mac OS X 10.5.4

    i have a palm v and have it connected to my mac. I have it connected using a usb to serial converter. I have not been able to do a hotsync yet,

    Post relates to: Palm V

    When you installed Palm Desktop and sync'ed for the first time, it should have asked you if you wanted to create a new username or use an existing name. You should have used the existing name that is on the Handheld.
    When you create a new user in Palm Desktop and it is not the same name that is on the handheld, then Palm Desktop does not have a reference name to sync with.
    Go into hotsync on the device and look in the upper right corner and it will show you the hotsync username of the device. Create a username in Palm desktop that is the same name and sync to that username in palm desktop.
    Click on the link below for the support page for your device. On that page is a link for hotsync troubleshooting for the Mac. There is also a link for the Mac desktop handbook.

  • IPhone 4s won't sync with macbook pro OS 10.7.5

    I'm Duane, and I'm frustrated.   My wife recently upgraded from iPhone 4s to 5s and gave me her 4s.   It used to sync ical very well until I purchased iCloud space.   I've deleted iCloud, but when I try to sync iPhone and ical (onMac Book Pro) I get this prompt: "The iPhone 'Duane…' could not me synced because this computers no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone."    Then I am directed to "choose Store > Authorize this computer."   Which I have done so at least four times, with no results.   Can you help me?

    Did you authorize your computer for all the Apple IDs used to purchase apps an other media on your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)?

  • Actatel 871 cellphone won't pair with Macbook Pro using system 10.0/4

    I have a 3 month old Macbook Pro that came with Maverick on it (10.9.4) and I am unable to pair it successfully with my Actatel 871 phone which works perfectly with my iMac using system 10.6.8.  It will look like it's pairing, then when I send a picture from my Actatel 871, it says "unfinished" And when I try to connect with bluetooth, it says "connection failed". Yet I can send a file from my computer to the phone using bluetooth.
    My husband's Pantech Swift would not send a photo either but I figured a way around that which does work on the Actatel 871. If I open my bluetooth file exchange, do to the "file" menu, I can pick "Browse device" and that way I can get photos off his phone. When I try doing that with my phone, it says that my device is not set up for that. Using the iMac with system 10.6.8 is so easy to use, you just send the files from both phones and they arrive on my computer.
    Does anyone know if the Maverick is not compatible with some phones that were compatible with 10.6.8? Or perhaps I'm doing it incorrectly? Has anyone else had a similar problem?
    Thank you, Martha

    Hi mflembeck!
    Thanks for posting!
    I would like for you to check over a few things that will help me determine what is causing this.
    What specific version of EOS Utility are you using?
    Are you using the old configuration on the camera or have you tried forgetting those settings and starting a completely new setup?
    Also, just to be sure, do you have an ethernet connection to the Macbook at the same time as you have the wireless connection?

  • 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.

  • ICal on iPad Air won't sync with Mac Pro

    All I want to do is to sync the iCal on my iPad Air with my Mac Pro (both with the latest systems) WITHOUT using the cloud. Why doesn't the sync function really sync when I attach the iPad to the Mac Pro? The dialog says that it sync's, but it doesn't.

    Seriously?  There are various reasons why I don't use the Cloud, but I want to sync my calendars on my iPhone with my new MacBook Pro.  So I've been setting up the new machine, and most things work, but I can't get the phone to sync calendars with the MacBook.  The instructions (on the laptop) say to plug in the phone, and go to iTunes, select the device (the iPhone) and then click the Info tab.  But there is no Info tab to click.  I've searched and searched, and cannot find it.  So, now I'm thinking, is this the answer to this problem that Apple hasn't alerted me to?  ...or am I a complete moron for not being able to find it?  The look in iTunes is different from what I'm used to looking at in my old machine (an older MacBook). 
    Music, iTunes U, and other things seem to sync properly.  I haven't investigated yet to see whether my calendar is syncing up right.   
    I don't keep up on all the nomenclature:  "Mavericks" refers to the new OS that came with my Macbook (10.9.1)?
