Hello jgoran5: Welcome to the Palm Forums. Here are a few ideas for you....
'Error 1327 Invalid Drive *:\' (when installing Palm Desktop)
This error can appear when you are attempting to install Palm
Desktop. It occurs when the bootable or system drive on your Windows PC
is not set to the default C:
What to do
You can use the "subst" DOS command to substitute the drive letter C: for the actual system drive.
Determine the drive letter of your system drive. If you did not set
up your computer yourself, you may need to contact your IT department or
a PC expert for help.
Close all running application on your PC, including the Palm Desktop installation wizard.
From the Windows Start menu, select Run.
Type cmd and click OK. Note: if you are using Windows Legacy Versions, type command instead.
The command window appears. Type subst c: {system drive letter}:\ where {system drive letter}
is the drive letter of the bootable or system drive on your Windows PC.
For example, if your system drive is J:, the command would look like subst c: j:\
Hit Enter.
Close the command window.
Install the Palm Desktop software. It should work now.
The other option you can try is a USB Flash Drive reassigned as the missing Drive, with the letter "J".
Hope that helps...

  • Error when trying to download Desktop Software for my 8700g

    Hi Folks,
    I am new to blackberry and these forums.
    I have a 8700g. I am trying to download the 4.2 desktop software and after filling up the form i get this error.
    You don't have permission to access "http://swdownload-us.rim.com.edgesuite.net/swdownloads/Desktop%20Software%20v4.2%20SP2%20(English).exe?" on this server.
    Not sure wht could be the reason. Any inputs are welcome.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the quick response. I cleared cache and it allows me to download now. Funny how I didnt think of it.
    However, that brings me to another question. I can download OS 4.5 but then I will need the same version for my phone. How can I upgrade it ? I have an unlocked phone from T-Mobile.
    As last time my phone had 4.2 and the desktop software was 4.1 it crashed the blackberry's software and i had to re-install. On T-Mobile site I did not find the 4.5 version for my 8700. I would however like to upgrade without the hassle of re-installing the entire thing again.
    Thanks.

    Hi...
    You can update your Desktop Manager to 4.5 or 4.6. You don't need to update your software on the Blackberry Handheld. Only if you want to use the newer features of the 4.5.0.81 which will work on the 8700g. If your carrier has not published the 4.5 Handheld OS, remember you will not get any support if you need to call your carriers Helpdesk and are running an OS that is currently not supported.

    What I notice in the original post is this error
    ARP: address resolution for 10.0.0.2 timed out.
    which says that the router is looking for the 10.0.0.2 server but not getting response to its arp request. Can the original poster clarify for us how the device that has the image file is connected to the router that has the problem? Also what kind of device is 10.0.0.2? Is it a PC running TFTP server software or is it something else?

  • Problems trying to download iPod Software Update 2.0

    Ive been trying to download the software update for about 3 hours now, but about every 5 minutes or less i get a error saying:
    'There was a problem with the iPod software for the iPod "MyName iPod". The network connection timed out.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.'
    But, i'm having no problems whatsoever with my connection, it all seems perfectly fine to me.
    If anyone could help me at all with any settings that might be able to be changed or something or anything that could stop this message appearing so that my download will actually be able to get somewhere...
    Thanks x

    I am having this same issue trying to download the 1.1.5 update for my touch, it goes for a while then times out, over and over.
    Over the last 18 hours I have tried this update about 30 times and it has failed every time, never at the same point, it downloads a different amount every time but it always stops...
    No information from Apple on this issue ? Poor show, I would have expected better from the worlds best computer manufacturer, they give the impression that they think of everything but then it´s little things like this that let them down.

  • I'm trying to download security software and it won't download. When I click the icon " if your download doesn't start click here", nothing still happens.

    I'm trying to download security software for my Mac Pro and it won't download. Even when I click the icon that says "if your download doesn't start click here" and still nothing happens. I have tried different types of software and nothing will download.

    Are you not able to download anything at all?
    I don't know what "security software" you're trying to download, but the chances are overwhelmingly good that you don't need it, and it's likely to do more harm than good.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Interesting...well, I am downloading it right now with no 404, which would I think rule out a problem at the RIM webisite end. So, the only thing I can think of is that there is something in your internet routing that is somehow blocking it. Maybe you should start over from this point:
    http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?li​d=us:bboftwareesktopSoftware&lpos=us:bboftware
    I was also going to comment that RIM does not yet support Desktop Software 7.x, but that seems to have changed sometime today!
    Good luck!

  • Download desktop software 7

    helo
    I previously had the blackberry software 5 on my pc i removed it, but now i am trying to download the new software and it keeps on saying the file could not be downloaded.
    what should i do?

    I don't know what browser you are using, nor what other things about your computer might be affecting this (e.g., virus protection, download blockers, etc.). You should investigate carefully all of those things about your computer to ensure that nothing is preventing this. Also be sure to try other downloads as a comparison basis (e.g., to rule out the BlackBerry site as causal). You might try these sites to see if you can download something close (but perhaps not quite) to the current version from them:
    http://www.blackberryforums.com/rim-software/25338​7-archived-rim-desktop-software.html#post1744114
    http://www.blackberryos.com/downloads.php?do=cat&i​d=110
    I can tell you that I just now again downloaded that file with no problems...so my guess is that it's something about your computer or your network connection that is blocking this download from automatically starting.
    Good luck!

  • Am trying to download Calibre software for EBook management. Safari says can't download file. Why? How to fix?

    I am trying to download E-Book management software (Calibre) on to my IPAD but Safari says download failed as Safari cannot download this file. Why is this.  I would have thought this was a fairly straight forward procedure?

    If you are talking about Calibre, there is no iOS version.  There's an OSX version for Mac computers which are not the same as iPads.  Any and all software that can run on the iPad can only be installed from the App Store. 
    You cannot download anything thorugh Safari and try to install it, it just doesn't work that way.
    Addiionally as has been already been pointed out Calibre installs on your Computer, not the iPad. You manage ebooks on the Computer.
