Trying to change sync from Palm Desktop to outlook treo 680

I currently use/sync palm desktop for my calendar buyt I use outlook for my email.  I am trying to change the sync to outlook so that I can have my data in all one spot.  I changed the PIM conduit to say outlook.  Then I tried to re sync.  It appeared that everything synced, but when I went into outlook none of my data was there.  Am I doing something wrong? I have a treo 680 and windows xp.  Thanks for your help

Hello Peter15, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
To change the sync program, look here:
Start Button/All Programs/Palm/PIM Conduit Sync/Sync with Outlook.   At the next HotSync it will try to sync with Outlook.
It ~should~ give you an option of which profile to sync with.

  • Help! Can I sync my Palm Desktop with Outlook Web Access?? I'm using a T5 -- NOT wireless, but cable-synced

    I have spent the last 3+ weeks trying to get my Palm Desktop information to sync with an Outlook Web Access account.
    I have been able to sync my Palm Desktop info with Outlook 2007, and I have been able to acess an Outlook Web Access account through a microsoft exchange server.
    BUT, when I talk with tech support.... I get several conflicting answers.  One tech says it should be easily possible; one says I need to buy another monthly service; one says it is impossible and I should just buy a Blackberry.
    At this point.... I'm not sure I actually care what the answer is, but I would just like a definitive answer....
    I have a Palm Tungsten T5.
    I want to sync that Contact and Calendar information regularly with an Outlook Web Access account so that my colleagues can see and edit my schedule as needed.... then the info would sync BACK to my Palm so that I can have my current schedule with me.
    Can anyone shed some light on this please??
    Thank you!

    The short answer is no.
    The t-5 has the ability to connect to an exchange server but the version of versamail it has would only sync mail and calendar. You would have to have a wifi card to be able to do even that. To do what you would want you would need to upgrade the versamail client (I don't believe Palm has an upgrade for the T-5) and a wifi card.

  • Palm Treo 700wx sync with Palm Desktop

    Newbie here, so please excuse if this is already in here somewhere!  I've been using Palm Desktop (v4.0.1) syncing with a Sony handheld device (Clie).  The Clie died, and I purchased a used Palm Treo 700wx (Sprint) for both cell phone use and as a PDA.  Darn if I can find anywhere how to sync the Palm Desktop with the Treo 700wx.  Am I missing something somewhere?
    Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Sprint)

    Hello melemiller and welcome to the Palm forums.
    The Treo 700wx, running the Windows Mobile operating system, can only sync to Microsoft Outlook.  You will need export the data out of the Sony edition of Palm Desktop and import it into Outlook and then install the Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 software on your computer to sync the Treo to Outlook.  If you are using Windows Vista, you need to use the Windows Mobile Device Center that is included as part of Vista to sync with Outlook.

  • Centro will not Sync with Palm Desktop

    I have removed all Palm references from laptop as suggested in: Community Help Forums : Hardware & Software : Software : Re: Syncs fine -- missing all data in Desktop App with no luck.
    ( http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&message.id=35331&query.id=1042#M35331 )
    I have a Windows Vista, downloaded Hotsync Manager 7.0.2 and all data (contacts/calendar) from Palm Centro will not appear in Palm Desktop.  I have made sure that:
    1. user name in Hotsync is the same as is in Palm Desktop
    2. tried different user name (suggested "Test" ) with no luck
    3. changed name of device through "prefs" icon (at least, in Bluetooth, Device Name is "Palm Centro") I am unable to find another option to change the name of the device for syncing purposes if it is not through Bluetooth
    Any other suggestions?  I have made entries into te Palm Desktop calendar, do a Hotsync and the entries from the Palm Desktop entries are not appearing into the Palm Centro, and the Centro's contacts and calendar entries are not showing up in the Palm Desktop.
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreaciated!

    Do you have the Centro set to sync with Microsoft Outlook by mistake?  Look in Outlook and see if your info is there.
    If it is, you can run a simple program in your Start/All programs/Palm/PIM Conduit Sync/Sync with Palm Desktop to switch it back.

  • Why can't I sync my Palm Desktop with iCal?

    When I enable iSync for my Palm (Tungsten E2, Palm Desktop 4.2.1 Rev.D) it disables the conduits I need to sync my Palm Desktop calendar information (Date Book, Tasks, To Do, etc.) with anything else. So when I make a change on Palm Desktop it doesn't even show up on the Palm handheld, much less on iCal. Can I move these "iSync Disabled Conduits" (Date Book, Tasks, To Do, etc.) back into the "Conduits" folder without creating a conflict? I've tried various solutions on the Mac Support site without much luck so far. Does this problem have something to do with OS 10.4's unique issues with syncing? Or is iCal supposed to REPLACE Palm Desktop, not be synced with it?

    Hello kongoscar,
    If you are making the jump from Windows to Mac, it might be easier for you to export your data from the Windows side using a comma separated values (.csv) file and importing that data into the PIM application on the Mac.  The Palm Desktop software for the Mac, is, in my opinion, terrible (and I'm a Mac user).
    Alan G
    Thanks so much for your reply, Alan G. I am not planning on using the Palm Desktop for the Mac once I get all the data from my Palm into the Macs. I am going to use the Mac software, like iCal and contacts, and probably Bento3 in place of the Palm Memos database, and I HOPE (not sure whether I will like it or not) to use my iPhone in place of the Palm, but I am not yet ready to ditch the Palm until I satisfy myself that the iPhone can do all the calendar and personal database functions as well as what I am used to with the Palm. So this data transfer quandary is not really about transferring the data to the Mac so I can continue to use my Palm and Palm Desktop software as I always have - it is about getting it to the Mac in a way that I can easily then export/import the data into iCal, Address Book/Contacts, and Notes or Bento3. My assumption is that would be easier doing imports from Palm Desktop on the Mac rather than imports from the PC, but maybe that is wrong. For instance, if I do an export from the PC of the Palm's calendar function  and import that into iCal on the iMac, will all the alarms and repeating copies of entries also make it over? Or would the alarms and repeaters more likely make it into an import into iCal if it came from data that was already on the Mac in Palm Desktop for the Mac? It odes seem that the Palm software for the Mac is not as good as it is for the PC, that Mac OSX does not support the Palm as well as earlier versions of Mac OS, and that there are all these problems with syncing on the Mac, from what I've read on the forums.
    Given my admittedly rambling description above, do you have any other advice for me?

  • Centro will not sync with Palm desktop - Calendar and/or Contacts

    I have used a Palm device for many years. Acquired a new Centro. Upon installation of Palm Desktop (on Windows XP) that came with Centro, all contacts, calendar, to do, memos, etc transferred to the Centro during installation. 
    Subsequent changes to contacts and/or calendar on Centro are not syncing with Palm desktop when Hot Sync is performed. Hot Sync starts and appears to complete normally. To Do list and memos appear to sync just fine. Have tried changing conduits to have Centro overwrite desktop. Have uninstalled/reinstalled Desktop many times.

    I have a Centro/Verizon Wireless using Versamail with accounts established for personal POP and Exchange e-mail synchronization.  The latter account is for work.  Previously I owned a Treo 650p using Versamail. 
    When I first installed Palm OS Desktop and synched to my Centro device, it was on a Windows XP home computer, and no Versamail accounts were defined.  First I downloaded and installed the Versamail version which allowed Exchange synchronization.  I exported the Treo650p contacts list to a disk file, and imported it onto the Windows XP home computer into the Palm OS Desktop installed with the Centro-supplied CD.  This synched the imported contacts list to the Centro fine.  After I defined all the POP and Exchange accounts, synchronization with the office Exchange contacts list worked fine, and still does.  Synchronization with the windows XP home computer for contacts seems to still be ok, too regardless of the MS Exchange Versamail account commingling with my personal POP accounts.  Maybe the install sequence is overriding the previous posts' notation that MS Exchange mail definition will override synch with Palm OS Desktop?
    The problem now is I have a different/second home computer that's Vista os.  I installed the Palm OS Desktop and synch with the Treo.  The contacts list is not synching to this second home computer, maybe because I didn't follow the exact same sequence as for the Windows XP pc?  I can still synch my Centro with my Windows XP pc and that includes contacts.
    Is there a way on this second pc to override the MS Exchange contacts override for synchronization without having to go through the exact same install sequence as occurred on the Windows XP machine?

  • Can I Use DTA to Transfer Straight From Palm Desktop to Google Calendar

    I have a Palm Tungsten E2, and a Palm Desktop account for it, but I also have another Desktop account, which I want to keep separate and copy into Google Calendar.
    I got the Data Transfer Assistant (DTA), and went through the first few steps towards transferring the data - even selecting the right account - but now it's saying that I need to connect my handheld, and sinse I  don't have a handheld for that account, it looks like I'm stuck.
    I tried connecting my Tungsten E2, but it did not recognize that and left the "Next" button pale.
    I imagine I might be able to get this done if I erase everything from my Palm, HotSync the other account into it, and then do the DTA, but I'm not quite sure how to do that nor am I sure that when I erase the secondary account and sync the primary one back in I will have everything that I currently have - all the data, all the applications.
    Is that the best way to go, and if so, what safety measures should I take?
    If not, what is the best way to transfer data straight from Palm Desktop (version 6.2.2) to another calendar - preferably Google, but Outlook would be okay.
    One thing that I know would work would be to convert the DBA file into a CSV file, but I don't know how to do that.
    Any answers to any of the subquestions?

  • How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

    I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
     Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet?  Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
     After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files.  If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

  • 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.

  • Migrating from palm desktop 4.2 for windows to ical

    Hi,
    I am attempting to migrate my calendar and task information from my palm desktop 4.2 software on a windows xp machine to my brand-spankin' new iMac. The calendar file export type doesn't import into ical. I'm not even sure which application the task(to-do list) and memo(notes) data from palm desktop would be most appropriate to import into on the iMac, but I would like to migrate that data, too.
    I did successfully migrate my contacts info from Palm Desktop into the Address Book on my IMac. Hooray!
    any help is appreciated.
    thanks.

    Exporting Palm Calendar (Date Book): you should have in the Export dialog box the option of changing the export format from "Palm Desktop" to "vCal".
    vCal (.vcs) files will import into iCal. You can also bring them into Entourage (not through the Import dialog box, but by dragging the .vcs file onto the Entourage icon in the dock).
    You will almost certainly lose category information, if you were using any.
    Exporting Palm Addresses: choose the vCard format, which Apple's Address Book will recognise (ditto Entourage if you take that option). But I see you've succeeded with that part.
    Exporting Tasks: this gets tricky as Apple doesn't have a stand alone tasks or to do app and the to do function in iCal is a bit underwhelming. You'll be able to export Palm Tasks in "Tab & Return" format, which means you could open them in a word processing or spreadsheet program. I doubt you'd be able to get them into iCal with any ease. You may have better luck importing tasks into Entourage, which does have a proper Tasks function, but that's not something I've tried to do.
    Exporting Notes/Memo: as with Tasks, your option is using the "Tab & Return" format. You may need a 3rd-party notes program if you don't want to use Entourage Notes.

  • Editing contacts in gmail after export/import from Palm Desktop is a messy affair

    So far, from what I can see, my contacts are synchronizing well between the Pre and my gmail contacts list.  Being easily amused, I guess it's pretty slick the way it works.  But exporting them from Palm Desktop and importing them into the gmail contacts list was just a jumbled mess.  Almost none of the actual fields from PD mapped correctly to the gmail fields, so all of my info got lumped into the "notes" field in gmail.
    It's easier and faster to edit them in gmail than on the Pre, so that's what I've been doing...fixing about 300 contacts one at a time.  You can cut/copy/paste the info from the notes field into the correct data field.  But there's one really weird thing that happens if you try to drag-and-drop info, say a telephone number or an address, from the notes field into its own field above.  The data appears to move over.  But once you save the change, anything you dragged into its own field disappears.  Trying to go through the list quickly, I didn't notice this strangeness until I had gone through a large enough number of my contacts to really make me swear.

    smkranz,
     I had a similar mess to clean up.  I figured that Google's contacts would work better with an import from Outlook and a direct export from Palm Desktop 4.x or 6.x.  I used Chapura's Pocket Copy to push my Palm Desktop 4.2 data into Outlook, and then exported my data from Outlook and into Google contacts.  I followed Google's directions for that part.  I still had to review my 400 or so contacts and do some mop up, but it wasn't a total train wreck.
     Glad to hear that you did get a Pre.  Welcome to the club.  Now we have to work on WyreNut.

  • How do I transfer my data from Palm desktop to iPhone?

    How do I transfer my data from Palm desktop to iPhone? I just gave up my Treo 755p in favor of an iPhone. How do I transfer my Treo data (contacts, calendars)

    I believe that when you boot your computer for the first time and you are following the onscreen instructions you are prompted whether you want to transfer data from an old mac or PC. If you click 'transfer from an old mac' and follow the onscreen instructions, this may work.
    If you have already skipped this step you could use iCloud to transfer data. If you make sure that everything you want to transfer is synced in iCloud, this may also work.

  • Importing a vCal file that was exported from Palm Desktop

    Hopefully someone can help me out here. My wife uses Palm Desktop v4.2.1 to manage her Treo (we share a Mac mini). I figured out how to export the Datebook from Palm Desktop as a vCal file, and then import it into iCal. The problem is, there appears to be an error or corruption happening in the process. Some events are duplicated, while others are recurring every single day even though they weren't originally set that way. On her Treo and in Palm Desktop, the events are correct and appear as they should. So either the Palm Desktop is corrupting the data on the way out, or iCal is misreading it on the way in.
    Has anyone experienced this (or similar) situation and if so, were you able to resolve it? I use iCal to manage my calendar on my iPod Touch (syncing via iTunes), and I'd like to have my wife's calendar on there as well, but not have to import or recreate events one at a time. I should also mention that her Treo 650 is not supported by iSync, so that option is out. Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

    Please allow me to pile on this thread as I, too, am looking for answers to this problem. I am using Palm Desktop 4.2.2 to export my calendar from my Tungsten T3 to something iCal and my new iPhone 3G can understand, but the results so far have been a pig's breakfast of recurrence errors and birthdays that last two days.

    Sync your Palm to MS Outlook. When you connect the iPhone it will then sync with Outlook and suck in your calendar and contacts (but not ToDos and memos).
    For Outlook sync (if you don't do it now) you can reinstall Palm Desktop and choose to sync to Outlook instead. Or go to www.chapura.com and download Pocket Mirror. switchsync (http://www.livepim.com/switchsync/) also has tools to do this.

  • How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?

    Hello,
    How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?
    I have a Palm Tungsten E handheld which just died.
    Luckily, all my data is backed-up on my Palm Desktop V4.2.1.

    all my data (Addressbook, Calendar, etc) from the Palm Desktop
    on my Mac (OSX 10.5) to the equivalent Mac applications
    (Address Book, iCal) which will then allow me to view and update
    them on my iPod-Touch.
    How do I easily transfer data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    David

    Hi David. The contact information is straightforward. Bring up your Address List in Palm Desktop, then select Export under file. You pick vCard as the format, and save the resulting file where ever. In Address Book, you then select Import --> vCards under file. You may need to edit things like birthdays by hand afterwards.
    I am still working on the Calendar information.
