Treo 800w coonversion from Palm Tungsten C HELP!

I have a Palm pilot tungsten c and just bought a new smartphone Treo 800w. I am hoping to convert the data over but the Treo uses Microsoft Outlook and the Palm pilot is Palm OS. I have a MAC and use the Palm software on it successfully. The Treo appears to be Windows with Microsoft Outlook. Can I merge all this stuff together or not????? I do have a Windows partition on my MAC but would rather just go MAC if possible. Thanks for any help you can offer!!!! Bird

Thank you! I have installed HotSync on both the MAC and Windows partitions of my MAC. I don't have Outlook on my computer currently. It am a little surprised that the software didn't come with the phone, but that is beside the point. Since I want to eventually run this on the MAC partition, should I get the trial version of Outlook for the PC partition to get this going and buy Outlook for the MAC?? SOrry to keep bugging you. Cheers, B

Importing contacts, calendar, etc from Palm Tungsten E2 to iphone 6

Does anyone know how to import the contacts, calendar, to do list, etc from a Palm Tungsten E2 into an iPhone 6?

Thank you for the information. I tried to sync through outlook as the instructions said but had problems with installing outlook on the XP machine, had problems with the Palm software on my Windows 7 machine, etc. Spent lots of hours trying to get this to work but I think most of the problems were due to issues with my 2 different computers. Finally found out about CompanionLink. Installed that software on my XP machine since that is where my Palm Desktop resides. Had to add the app DejaOffice on my I-Phone. Synced the 2 together and everything was transferred onto my phone in the Dejaoffice app. All calendar and contact information was also synced into the I-phone calendar and contact list. The only thing I will have to copy and paste are the reminders and other notes into the phone reminders and notes and then I should be able to delete the DejaOffice app. The companionlink software is usually 49.95 to purchase but you can download a trial version for 14 days which works just fine. It took a total of about 25 minutes to download and sync my Palm and phone and I had previously spent at least 8 hours trying to get things to work. So frustrating. But thank you for at least offering some help.

Transferring info from Palm Tungsten PDA to I-Touch?

Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer information from my very old Palm Tungsten PDA to the I-Touch? I am trying to save myself hours of needless work transferring everything by hand (yikes!). I would be grateful for any feedback or solutions.

You need to transfer to your outlook or other address book on your computer that you plan to sync your ipod touch with then sync from there.
Search the palm site or Google for instructions on how to do this.

Deleting my information from Palm Tungsten e2

I have upgraded and I want to delete all of my information from my Tungsten E2 so I can sell it. Is there any quick way to accomplish this or do I have to delete each contact seperately? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Palm Tungsten E2 HELP!!!!!

I have had my Palm Tungsten E2 for years now and have always been able to sync it to my desktop, until recently. I have Windows Vista and we recently installed a Vista service pack to help speed up our computer and I have since not been able to hotsync. I downloaded Palm Desktop 6.2, but in the middle of configuring my hotsync preferences my computer gave me the blue screen of death and froze on me. I tried 3 times to install and configure 6.2 and it did this every time. When I tried to download Palm Desktop 4.1.4 I got an error message saying it can't be installed on my computer. Before we installed the Vista service pack I had all my palm information backed up on my hard drive on an earlier version of Palm Desktop (maybe 4.0?), but when I tried to install one of these newer versions it deleted the older version and ALL of my data! I am freaking out because I depend on my palm for everything and I HAVE to have a backup of my information! Can anyone help? Please?

Best backup advice is to download a freeware app called NVBackup. Unzip the files to your computer. If you don't already have a SD card for your E2, get one...regular SD (not SDHC) no larger than 2GB. Format it in the E2 using the Card Info app. Then manually copy the NVBackup.prc file you downloaded and unzipped, to the /palm/launcher folder on the card. If your computer doesn't have a SD card reader, you'll need to get one (maybe $10-15). With nvbackup.prc file copied to the card, pop the card into the E2, run NVBackup, and run a backup of your entire E2 to the card. No worries thereafter...set it to run a backup every night (and limit the number of "cycles" to 3 or 4. Post back if you have any questions about how to do any of this.

How to Switch from Palm Tungsten e to Tungsten T3

Sorry if this is not posted in the correct subject area, but it is sort of "Sync" related.
The touch screen on my old Tungsten/e has been gradually failing. Last month I managed to pick up a new (still boxed and sealed) Tungsten T3 at a garage sale for $1. Unfortunately I could not find any info here on how to switch my data/info/software over to another device. I am currently using Version 4.1.2 of Palm Desktop with my Tungsten/e. I did find postings related to the fact that you need 3rd party software to sync more than one device. I don't need to do that per se, I only need to be able to use the new unit. I just don't know how to get my existing stuff on it.
Any help would be appreciated (hoping there are still some other "Legacy" users out there)
Thanks in advance, Dave

I should add I read the 'Transferring data from a Zire 32 to Tungsten E' post and followed the links provided. However in all situations covered therein, Palm states 'even if you have an earlier version of Palm Desktop you must install from the CD provided with your new device as it may contain features that were not previously available'.
Since I have a version of Palm Desktop that post dates the CD by several years/versions, I'm not sure how to proceed.
If I remember correctly the T3 isn't really newer than the e it was a concurrent more expensive model that has voice recording, bluetooth and a slide out widescreen.

Since Palm is no longer supporting PDAs; and since my Plam will enventually malfunction, I am thinking of transferring my 600+ contacts to I-Touch. I bought an I-Touch and attempted the transfer, but, was unsuccessful.
I returned the I-Touch.
Has anyone been successful in transferring contacts to the I-Touch from Palm Tungsten E2? I need help.

HotSync connection issue with Palm Treo 800w Sprint work around Solved !!!

I just switched from my Treo Palm Treo 755p to the The Palm Treo 800w. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why though everything was connected via USB. The Microsoft ActiveSync would work once or twice then nothing . Though I knew it was connected the charge wouldn't work either.
Here is my work around and it never fails.
If you see the Red light or Green light on your phone while connected Via the USB that means you are connected you can sync and charge.
If you don't see the red/green light on or see the phone in My computer > Mobile devices.
Plug your phone in via the USB. While it's plugged in take the battery out . Then put the battery back in. You know you are good when you see the red light or green light turn on. Red light means charging Green light means its fully charged.
I have connected every time using the take out the battery method and my Treo 800w charges / Microsoft syncs the works!!
Hope this helps I tried everything before I figured this out.

Did you install the 800W update that is available on the support page under downloads? There is a download for the charging issue and the USB connection issue.

Cannot send email from Treo 800w

I just bought a new Treo 800 yesterday from Sprint. I have set up my home email, and I can receive messages fine, but I cannot send them. I have been into the store, they cannot figure it out. I had a Blackberry before this and I could send and receive my cox.net email with no problem. I have set the account up 5 times at least, but still cannot send or reply to anything. HELP!
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

I recently started having the not being able to send but receive works fine problem. I finally got fixed when I checked the "Outgoing Server Requires Authentication" box in your email Account options.
The weird thing is I had checked that box in my initial setup and then a couple days ago my email started acting up. I deleted the account and set it up again as new.

As I have incounted many, I recently installed the Palm Tungsten T3, and now the Palm V has lost many of its functions, included my contacts. Thanking any one that can help me with this problem.
Sincerly,

You cannot sync 2 dissimilar devices to the same username, it will cause the issues you are experiencing.
You need to have seperate usernames in Palm desktop for each device. Since you have lost data, you need to try and recover the data first. See the steps in the procedure listed below.
After the data recovery and the data is correct in Palm desktop, you need to export the data from the current username, create a new username for the T3, export the data from the current username and then import to the username for the T3.
Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding Upgrading from a previous Palm OS handheld.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=12926
You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. On Vista the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak.
The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=26674
Here is another link regarding data loss;
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=39503
The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.
Here is a link for other options for backing up your data;

Sprite backup downloaded from Palm site won't run on my Treo 750 with Windows XP on laptop

I have a Treo 750 with WMD 5.0 and Windows XP on my laptop. I have a 2G mini storage card. I downloaded the free Sprite software from Palm support and installed it on laptop and the storage card. When I run the set-up wizard on the PC, I get an error on the mobile device stating the program does not run with my device. I have carefully checked to make sure I downloaded the program for the Treo 750 and have verified the installation - it just doesn't work.
Do I have to get the new software ($29.95) from Sprite? Any ideas why I can't use the free software from Palm site?
Has anyone had better success with the new version?
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

A. PROBLEM: Each time I try to use this reputable program (version 5.2 (7534.52.7), I encountered the following problem:
Program (1) loads instantly, (2) presents the browser space, (3) agrees to open new tabs, (4) but when I try to direct it to ANY URL at all, the hour-glass appears, but the wait is fruitness. I cannot reach any site at all.
I've tried to access the program, both as "administrator" and regular "user." No joy.
All I ever get showing is the interesting interface (and an hour-glass on an URL-call) and nothing else.
Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

Treo 800W Can't get email from desktop outlook b/c no exchange server or web-based email

Help... I used to use the "personal business connection" from Sprint before they discontinued using it last fall to get my email. They housed it on their server by having it sink with my desktop outlook 2000 in real time, then my device (Treo 800w) would sink with their server so that I could respond to email on my treo and it would look the same in my desktop outlook as it did on my treo. It would show messages read that i had read, and my sent treo messages would appear in my desktop outlook sent folder. Since Sprint has discontinued "business connection-- personal", I have not been able to get my email in the same fashion. I don't have an exchange server at work and use POP3 email but it is not a commercial service like yahoo or gmail. I download my email to my outlook and primarily use outlook on my desktop but want to be able to use my treo to view and respond to email on the fly and have it show the messages I have already addressed in my desktop outlook. Any ideas? I am desperate and very frustrated that Sprint discontinued business connection. Every application I have looked at either required an exchange server or that I house all my email on a web-based site and quit using my desktop outlook. Thanks....

Yes, I was very bummed when Sprint discontinued BCPE.
SEVEN Networks, the company that made BCPE for Sprint, has several new products available under beta. None of them seem to offer exactly what we had with BCPE. In fact, one forum posting says that our style of usage (sync'ing directly with the data stored in the Outlook data file) was never actually a supported configuration. Anyway, you can sign up for the beta here if you want to explore the new options: http://community.seven.com/main.php
Good luck in your search.

Transfer data from Palm LifeDrive to Palm Treo Pro (Unlocked)

Hi, as it says in the title, i want to transfer data from Palm LifeDrive to Palm Treo Pro, how can i do that? do i need a special software?
Thank you in advance.
Ivan Rodriguez.
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850U (Unlocked)

You can do this 2 different ways. You can set your Palm Desktop software to sync to Outlook, and then sync your LifeDrive to outlook. You would then be able to just sync the Outlook data to you Treo Pro. The other option would be to purchase Chapura Pocket Copy software, and this will copy the data in the Palm DT application to Outlook. Once again you would just sync your Treo Pro to Outlook. You can get the Pocket Copy application from Chapura.com

Cant send emails from treo 800w

I bought a treo 800w last week. I set up my email account and was only able to send one email off my phone and then it stopped working. I was told by a palm person that I needed to use the sprintpcs outgoing server email settings, but I can't find my password on the sprint website. Sprintpcs will be ending 12/31/2008 so how can I get my email to work properly? I don't want to have new email accounts just to provide a work around.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

who's your email provider? You should be able to use the same settings as what Outlook would use. Don't post your e-mail address but the provider and I'm sure one of us nerds out there can look up the settings you need.

Palm Treo 800w Error Synchronizing Work Email and ActiveSync screen problems

For some reason, yesterday my email stopped synchronizing. Anytime I hit the "send/receive", it looks like it's going through the process but I get an "error synchronizing" error. Normally it is on auto synch. My other email accounts work just fine. When I go into the "ActiveSync" through programs to delete the acct and start over, the activesych screen just disappears within a second of me opening it. I can't keep it open for me to make any edits or see if I can get a specific error message. Any thoughts? Not sure if Sprint can solve this or if I would have to go through Palm to troubleshoot??
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

If you need help, you can always go to a corporate Sprint service store. To find one near you, go to http://storelocator.sprint.com/StoreLocator/Searchform.aspx. Enter your zip code in the box and choose the radio button that says "Repair centers near me".
However, they are most likely going to just do what you can on your own to start with and that is a hard reset. A hard reset erases all data on the phone and returns it to the default factory settings. Backup any data that you need to keep and then go to http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchKB.asp?c=41108 for instructions on how to hard reset. Once you have reset your device, you will then need to reinstall any software that you added, restore your backed up data, etc. You might find the following link helpful when setting up your device again: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchKB.asp?c=40086.
Also, make sure to install the available patches on your device: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchTab.asp?t=downloads&fn=treo&mn=800w&cn=sprint.
