Trouble hotsync palm m515 to windows vista

I think I have been to every single board to find a solution. I have a windows vista and my palm m515 wont hotsync. It said to download pd 6.2.2 and palmhotsyncsetup from pimlicosoftware which I did and it still won't sync!!!!!!!!!! Very, very upset someone please help.
Post relates to: Palm m515

Hope this helps.... Having the same problem with PD 6.xxx Using a Palm m515 with Vista Ultimate. Can connect but no data transfers. I tried to overwrite the newer palm desktop with an older version (know you're not supposed to do that, but???) Got an error message saying a newer version was installed, and it quit. Went to the control panel - add/remove software, and removed the newer palm desktop. Then I downloaded the older (ver 4.1xx) and installed it. Once it was up, the hotsync did NOT show a USB connect option, but apparently Vista and Palm don't really care, because it worked like a charm. Hit the hotsyn button on the PDA and off we went. Now I have to go to my wife's laptop (same OS and problem) and export a BUNCH of her stuff and do the same remove and install scenario. Her laptop, her data, my problem - by marital default.

Palm m515 under Windows Vista 64

I just acquired a Palm m515 from a relative of mine. I brought it home to hook it up, downloaded and installed the newest version of the Palm Desktop (PalmDesktopWin62.exe) to set up the HotSync. Upon hitting the HotSync button on the cradle, a box pops up telling me that I need a driver, after searching the Palm website and Google and not finding much information from either place, I decided to post here. Am I wasting my time or is there anyway I can use the HotSync with this computer.

You will be limited to using Palm Desktop 4.1.4E. It should sync regular PIM databases, but install tool doesn't work on Vista.
There are many (many) threads here about Vista issues and the Palm Desktop software, as well as the Vista information page linked from the main Palm Support site.
Topic is veering from the original Message Subject re: Windows Vista 64. These subjects are covered in many other threads which can be found with the Search function, so this thread will be marked Read Only.

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
I have moved your post to the Windows Hotsync board, where you will find lots of information about syncing older Palm devices with Windows Vista. I suggest you begin with the very first post in this board.

M515 and Windows Vista 64 bit HotSync Issue

Hi
I have a M515 which I am unable to sync with a Windows Vista 64 bit machine using a USB cable. My computer does not have a IR port.
Read thru several threads but did not find a solution for this problem for a 64 bit machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Hello akashmedehrotra and welcome to the community.....
Windows Vista 64 bit is only sync with a wireless connection. Either Bluetooth or Infra Red. The M515 does not have bluetooth, so you would have to purchase an IR Dongle and sync using Infra Red. You won't be able to sync with the USB cable on your desktop.

"Port In Use" error message when trying to sync Palm m500 to Windows Vista machine

An error message on my Palm displays "Error: Serial Port in Use (Serial 0307)" when I try to sync my Palm m500 to my Windows Vista (32 bit) Home Basic machine. It worked until about 3 months ago and I don't have a restore point that far back to try System Restore. I've upgraded to Palm Desktop 6.2.2 (was using 4.xx) and downloaded the PalmHotSyncSetup from Pimlico Software but nothing helps. Any ideas are appreciated.
Post relates to: Palm m500

I would try connecting the Palm's cradle, with the Palm in it, to your PC and then, in Device Manager, right-clicking on Palm Handheld #2 and selecting Uninstall Driver. Palm Handheld/Palm Handheld #1 could be visible if you connect the Palm to USB port you may have tried using perviously.
After uninstalling Palm Desktop, reboot the PC, make sure Palm Desktop 6.2.2 is installed (since you are using Vista) and then try reconnecting the Palm.
One last thing: Make sure that you are using a 32-bit version of Windows. There is no 64-bit USB driver support from Palm or ACCESS. If you do have a 64-bit version of Windows Vista installed, that would clearly explain why you are having so much trouble getting your m500-series PDA to sync. This thread tells you how to check for a 32 or 64-bit install of Windows.

PALM VX and Windows Vista 64Bit

Hey I have been searching all over the site for a solution to my problem and I don't think there is one. I have a Palm VX and I am trying to sync it up with my new Vista Machine. The catch is that my OS is 64-bit I have seen that it says Windows Vista 64 is not compatible, but I have installed Palm Desktop 4.414 and it works fine. But before I order a serial to USB adapter I wanted to know for sure if there is any way around this problem.

I just recently purchased a new PC with Windows Vista 64-bit. Although I was told and read through postings such as this that synching my Sprint Palm Treo 755p would not be possible. As an IT professional, I was not willing to take no for an answer. I spent the day doing research and am happy to report that as of yesterday I was able to get my Treo to sync up with my Outlook 2007 on the Vista 64-bit OS.
Here is how I did it:
1. I determined that since the Palm Hotsync cable didn't have any drivers to support the 64-bit, I would sync using my Bluetooth dongle.
2. Went to website for dongle (BlueSoleil) and found the Vista 64-bit drivers and downloaded those.
3. Set up the Bluetooth as a network opening Com 5.
4. Set up the Hotsync for network using Com 5
5. Went to Palm website and downloaded the conduits for Outlook 2007
6. Did a Hotsync via Bluetooth with the handheld overwriting Outlook.
7. Downloaded Chapura Pocket Mirror and set the conduits for Outlook.
I am now syncing like the Titanic.

Problem installing Palm Desktop on Windows Vista.

I am trying to install PalmDesktopWin414 on a couple different computers that are both running Windows Vista Ultimate. At the palmOne InstallShield Wizard welcome screen it generates the following error.
Internal Error 2738.
This interrupts the installation and it does not complete. Any suggestions?

hello all , i got mine up and running late last night and thought that since it drove me nuts i would share how i did it with others having the same problem, for fyi i am using a sony clie sj22 and hotsyncing with an usb cable for reference with palm OS4.0 i think.
1. dont install the software just yet please follow
2.let palm desktop thru thye firewall program and make an exception for it there.
3. disable and antivirus software as it sees palm as a threat.
4.now install palm desktop i used my old version palm desktop 4.0 BUT DONT INSTALL THE PROGRAM IN PROGRAM FILES try somewhere else like documents( this i read on another site where someone tried it but failed there).
5.now turn on your palm pda and open up hotsync page, up in the upper left screen corner touch the hotsync tab and down should come a sub menu, form here you need to set up all of your conduits,modem sync preferencesmconnection setup etc make sure they are set for how you will be hotsyncing.
6.now open up the desktop program and on your toolbar you should see the hotsync icon click on this and set set the options here.
7.now you should be able to hotsync(communicate) from the pda to the computer .
Hope this helps , sorry that some one like me had to figure it out by staying up late until i got it .
MICROSOFT apparently doesnt care if you fix it that way you bite the bullet and buy a windows mobile device.
and PALM i think about the same
too bad if you think about all the millions of these devices out there they are pissing alot of people off and losing sales from it.

Palm m505 and Windows Vista

I recently resurrected my Palm M505 to start using it again but it doesn't want to hotsync to my computer using Windows Vista. I tried downloading update 6.2 from this site (not that it showed that it would workf for my Palm, but what the heck) but it didn't fix the problem either and I'm getting a fatal error message. Is there a patch or a work around that I can download/use that will allow my Palm to work with Windows Vista? I really don't want to get rid of the Palm and switching operating systems is not an option either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Post relates to: Palm m505

Check the OS version such as 32 bit or 64 bit.
If it's 64bit then the device will not syc. That are no drivers for the device, you might want to consider infrared hotsync.

Trouble with itunes ipod and windows vista

I just got a new computer with windows vista home premium (32bit) and i am having trouble syncing my ipod with itunes.
when i connect the ipod it asks me if i want to scan and fix the drive, if i click continue without scanning it sometimes wont let me sync, and if it does it only gets about half my music on there before saying it is unable to write to it (unknown error 53)

I have a similar problem, with my new iPod Touch crashing an XP Professional setup. It's worth noting that the Apple article also talks about potential USB conflicts with other devices on the system that might have bad drivers. They say the solution, if that is the fault, is to make sure all your USB drivers are good. I'll try that, by a process of elimination, before re-installing iTunes (as I thought I had the latest version and I don't have Vista). I'll come back here later to report the outcome.
(serious if your iPod crashed your PC - can't even charge its battery ! )

Palm i705 with windows vista

I have Windows Vista and am trying to install palm software..used the original CD soon to discover it doesn't support Vista..I went online and downloaded the Vista Palm software, but said it could not install it over the original software..cannot get the original software to uninstall via add remove programs..gives me an error...How do I uninstall this old software..what exactly do I need as far as new software, and does this sync through USB..if not and Bluetooth is required, does the I705 even have bluetooth capability...
Does this work with the I705?
thanks
Post relates to: Palm i705

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
This may be tricky but first I need to know a little bit more information. On you desktop computer right click the "Computer" icon located on your desktop and go to "Properties." From there you should see either 32 bit or 64 bit listed, which do you see?

Trouble installing DW CS3 on Windows Vista

Hi I really need some help. I'm about to lose it.
I bought DW CS3 directly from Adobe in June '07. I had installed it on my laptop running Win XP. It worked fine and I liked working with DW. My laptop died a couple months ago and I bought a brand new HP desktop. I installed DW CS3 seemingly without any problems. But ... when I go to open DW, ... nothing happens. It doesnt matter where I try to open it from, the Start menu, or the program file in the directory where it was installed. There were no errors or problems during any of the install attempts. Its just when you click on the icon to open DW, it just doesnt do anything. Nothing. As if you didnt even click on it.
I have not been able to find any thread/discussion with this exact problem. I've tried implementing solutions from other install problems posted, but nothing has worked. I tried selective startup. Tried uninstall/reinstall a couple times. Tried repairing the install.
My specs:
HP Pavilion a6750y
AMD Athlon Phenom X4 9650
8GB RAM
750GB HD
Windows Vista Home Premium
Service Pack 1
64-bit Operating System
I'm not a computer expert of any sort, but I know enough to get by.
Can anyone please help? Thanks so much.

Nadia,
Thanks for replying. I just checked out that tech note & tried the regedit thing, but no luck. I seriously can't believe that this is so much trouble.
I also need to just say that I did call Adobe support and unfortunately for me, they need to charge me $40 to help me, because now CS4 is out, so they don't support CS3 for free anymore. This is very very poor business practice on Adobe's part. Most manufacturers of any product, not just software, will continue to support at least the version previous to their newest.
I am an amateur web designer and just like to play around. I was proud of myself for spending $200 my last year of school (econ major, not IT), to get the educational version of what I thought was a top-notch web design software. I cannot afford to pay $40 for help. And I definitely cannot afford whatever the price of CS4 is, since I am not a student anymore. I really enjoyed using DW CS3 on my laptop. Unfortunately as I said before, it is now dead, and apparently, so is my ability to use Dreamweaver.
Shame on you Adobe. I will spread this message far and wide.
If anyone else has any possible solutions to what my problem is, I am willing to try anything. Thanks Nadia & Murray for your suggestions. I will stay tuned to this forum until I have a solution.

Palm TX and Windows Vista

Is there third-party software that will enable one to connect the Palm TX to a PC operating under Windows Vista? If so, has anyone had experience, good or bad, with it?
Post relates to: Palm TX

Thank you both for your helpful comments. I am moving along, albeit at a snail’s pace and I need some clarification on a couple of points.
My machine has the Vista 64bit operating system, but it does not have bluetooth capability, so I understand that I need to purchase a D-Link Bluetooth adapter. I find that there are two models. Is the DBT 120 D-Link adequate or do I need the DBT 122 D-Link adapter?
I currently have Palm Desktop 4.2 on my computer. When I loaded Palm Desktop 6.2 I found that it erased my calendar and my address book. I had both backed up, but I didn’t even need the backup. When I uninstalled 6.2 and reloaded 4.2 from my Palm disk, both strangely reappeared. However, how can I load and keep 6.2 without losing my calendar and address book?
Thanks again.

Palm m515 and Windows 7 (64 bit) - Help!

From reading previous posts I get that there are no drivers for Windows 7, especially the 64 bit kind and we can't sync through USB.
I also couldn't find a way to upload the backup data from the old palm pc software to the new one, even by importing files saved on the program folder or a memory stick. I simply can't get my stuff from my Palm or the old computer into the new desktop.
Is there anything being done about this (will there be drivers soon?) or has someone found a solution for this yet?
I'm going quietly insane... please tell me good news.
Post relates to: Palm m515
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Yeah I was wondering about the drivers myself. In any case, I haven't bought the USB to IR adapter yet, so I can't tell you yet if that worked, but I can promise you that uninstalling and reinstalling won't solve the issue. It will just frustrate you.
My temporary solution (while I buy the dongle) was this:
I uninstalled the latest version of Palm desktop software I had found online (6.2) and installed the same version I used to have in my old laptop (4.1.4).
In the old laptop, I clicked on calendar, export, and saved it in a USB. Same with my to-do list, the memos, the address book, etc. made export files and sent them to a USB. Then imported them on the new laptop.
Now I have all the information, past and present in my new laptop. As soon as I get the adapter and try it out, I'll update this post to let you know if it worked, but at least I can now access all the data on my desktop (even if I cant sync yet).
