Tungsten E palm desktop

I recently had to overhaul my computer due to a virus and lost the Palm Desktop version affiliated with the Tungsten E. When I went onto the site to download it, it is no longer there. Is there anyone who knows how to get that software?
Post relates to: Tungsten E

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
Palm Desktop 4.1.4E is supposed to sync with Windows Vista, but it will only work with 32-bit Vista, not 64-bit Vista computers. If your desktop is 64-bit, you should be able to sync using Bluetooth (if your computer has Bluetooth). If no Bluetooth, you can also use an IRDA (infared) adapter, which has also been discussed in recent threads.
If your computer is 32-bit Vista, your best bet is to download the new Palm Desktop 6.2.2 (you might have to fib and tell the download page that you have a newer device). THEN, go to www.pimlicosoftware.com and install their free utility PalmHotsyncSetup.
Good luck, and please let us know how you make out.

Tungsten E2, Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and lost files

We have todayinstalled the above software onto a Windows XP Pro desktop and after performing a sync find that our PDA is blank, our Desktop software is blank and are wondering where the files are.
Also, is it possible to reverse this sync?
2 years of data lost pending a positive reply.

In palm desktop, is there only 1 username listed?
On the PC, there are files in the username folder that store your data. Copy and paste the following address in a browser for the Palm kb article regarding the location of the folder.
http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=359,E=0000000000015703831,K=2931,Sxi=11,Case=Obj(26...)
Once you locate the folder, look for the folders for your data, datebook, addresses, memos,etc. Look in those folders for the data files. See if you have any files named datebook.dat or datebook.bak in the datebook folder.
Are there files in those folders? If so what are the file names.
It is not possible to reverse a sync. The only way to possibly recover your data, is if there are files in the above named folders.

Can't get my data out of palm tungsten c- palm desktop crashes

I have been a tungsten c user for many years. Now that HP has discontinued support, I would like to get my data out and transfer it to anothr device. I have backed up with hotsync on a daily basis. When I load palm desktop (PD), it crashes. I have 4 computers: a Dell 700 m with win xp, an optiplex with win xp, an optiplex with vista and a toshibal laptop with win7 64 bit. I have downloaded new copies of palm desktop 4.4, and tried the access version of 6 something. The desktop loads, waits 2 seconds, then I get the message .. has created an error and has to close. I checked, the MA file is there and seems to have the correct date. How do I get my data out if palm desktop will not start?
PS I disabled antivirus during installation, uninstalled the old version and rebooted before trying to open the PD.

Well I went ahead and made separate methods to return each value. I suppose that will work just as well, especially since now I don't have to declare a bunch of strings and int's to hold the data and pass to the method.
>
Well this would never work anyway
public void getData(String n, int num, String c, String d)None of those can be changed within the method. Strings are immutable and 'int' is passed by value. Each of those parameters will have the same value after the method exits as they did before it was called.
Your book class should be using 'setters' to set the value of its instance variables.

Expense app for Tungsten T3 & Palm Desktop?

I have an old Tungsten T3 which serves me well. Recently I started using the Expense app (v. 4.5.1P) that comes with its Palm OS (v.5.2.1).
I noticed there was no Expense app on the Palm Desktop which I am running under Windows XP SP2. So I re-downloaded the latest version of Palm Desktop for the T3: version 4.1.4e. That's the latest version that the palmOne Website said was available for the T3 and Windows XP.
If I click Palm Desktop » Help » About Palm Desktop » Version » General, I see, in the Files pane, "Expcn20.dll (not found)". I guess this .dll is the one for the Expense app.
On another posted thread, Expense Tracking missing desktop 4.1.4, I note that the Expense app exists for Palm Desktop v. 4.2. But the palmOne Website told me the latest version for my T3 and Windows XP was v. 4.1.4e.
Questions:
Has anyone tested Palm Desktop v. 4.2 on the Tungsten T3?
Is the Expense app available on the cd-rom version of Palm Desktop v. 4.1.4e? (which I don't have)
Is it possible to somehow download Expcn20.dll and add it to installation of Palm Desktop v. 4.1.4e?
Any other suggestions? (not including "Buy a newer handheld", because I'm a poor student )

The Palm Desktop which is available for free download from the Palm Support site, version 4.1.4e, is a generic version in that it is useable for a variety of devices, but does not have all of the desktop applications (i.e. Expense, Media). That's because not all handheld models come with all of those applications, and the downloadable version is really intended to be a backstop for basic synchronization only.
To obtain the Expense application for your desktop, you would need to use the original installation disc for your device.

Palm Desktop 6.2.2 on Win8.1 syncing but not displaying data

I'm so pleased to have found this forum. I didn't realise there was so much love for old Palm devices. I started with a Palm V and worked my way up to a Tungsten T & palm Desktop 4.1.4 on WInXP and everything has been so good that I've resisted moving away from Palm Desktop as it does everything I need. But I've just bought a new Win8.1 PC and am having some problems that I hope someone here can help with.
I've been through the help here about installing Palm Desktop 6.2.2 and the win8 driver and the installation was very smooth and I could hotsync via usb with no apparent problem, except that Palm Desktop is not displaying any of my palm data!
When I first ran hotsync (from the palm cradle button) it asked for a user name. My Tungsten T was already being used on my XP PC and was full of data. So I entered the Tungsten user name and hotsync continued. it took a couple of minutes or so (as would be expected) and when complete it said everything was ok. I checked the Hotsync logand it confirmed everything was synchronised correctly - but when I opened Palm Desktop there was no data being displayed.
I then checked the data files in ...documents\Palm OS Desktop\.... and the address and datebook files are present and full of my data. I even opened them using Notepad and could easily see loads of ascii text amongst all the 'junk' characters, so it looks as if the sync process has worked correctly but nothing from my Tungsten is being displayed in the Palm Desktop.
I then added an event in the datebook in Palm Desktop and another event on the same day in the Tungsten. I then did another hotsync. It was reported as successful but the Tungsten event did not appear in the Desktop although the Desktop even DID appear on the Tungsten. So the sync process seems to be only working one way!
I've never had this happen before and would really appreciate any help.
This question was solved.

OK, try using the "Palm Hotsync Setup" program found on this page.
Since you are using an older T|T, this may be the answer.
There is a guide available from this website for migrating PalmOS data to Android, if interested. I made that jump years ago when webOS was ended. You can find it on their Home page.

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?

Palm Desktop Crash - unable to sync with handheld PalmOne Tungsten E2

Hello, this may have been addressed before, but I am not sure. A couple weeks ago I was in Palm Desktop when it just froze. Once I got out of it, I found that about 99% of my calendar datebook had been lost. I have tried to sync it again with my handheld Tungsten E2 to try to reinstall my info from handheld to desktop - but it just gets stuck on syncing the datebook. I had a computer geek look at it and he was unable to help me. I guess I could live without my former appointments and re-enter my future ones, but I can't sync anymore, it keeps hanging up at datebook. Any suggestions? I really appreciate your thoughts.....BTW I have a MAC with Vista installed through Bootcamp.

Hi,
Basically, the sync will stuck at Datebook when there are some corrupted Calender events on Palm device.
We have 2 options to fix this issue.
1) Hard Reset.
2) Use DbScan application to remove the corrupted calender events on Palm.
As many wouldn't like to do the hard reset as sometimes all the Calender events would be on Palm.
Hence, I suggest DbScan.
It's easy to fix the issue.
First we have to set the DateBook to Do Nothing in the HotSync Manager window.
To get to the HotSync Manager window follow the below steps:
Right click on the HotSync Manager in the Windows System Tray(on the lower right corner of your computer) and click on Settings.
This will open the HotSync Manager window.
And then click on Applications.
Make sure you select the correct sync user name in the HotSync Manager window at the top center.
Double click on Datebook.
check the box "Do Nothing"
And click on OK and Done button.
Now install the dbScan software from the below link.
http://www.palmgear.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=software.showsoftware&PartnerREF=&siteid=1&prodID=2351
Download the software with Guest user name.
Double click the dbScan.prc file it will goes to Install Tool.
Peform the sync.
This will install DBScan application on Palm.
Then, follow the below steps on your Palm device.
1.Tap on Dbscan application on the device.
If you see any message saying, it's an older version and you need to install a new version. Please ignore the message and go to next step.
2. Choose the option other.
3.Press the menu button on the device.
4.From the options menu choose "Remove all the deleted records"
5.Now choose the option "Palm source".
6.From the options menu again choose "Remove all the deleted records"
7.Now choose the option "Palm one".
8. From the options menu choose "Calender DB Blob check".
9.Tap on "Yes to all"
10. Try performing HotSync now.
This will fix the Datebook sync issue.

Syncing Tungsten T3 to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit: use Palm Desktop 6.2 or version 4?

Hi, I saw a post by Eaglesfan723 asnwered by AlanG. It seems T3 can sync with Windows 7 64-bit using bluetooth. Before I try, I wanted to confirm if eaglesfan723 used Palm Desktop 6.2 or v4.x. Dear eaglesfan723 or Alan, I would be grateful if you could provide more details on how you managed to get T3 to sync with your Windows 7 machine. My PC is a n HP Touchsmart with native bluetooth. Thanks very much!

Tungsten E2-can't install Palm Desktop 6.2 - Windows 7

Tried to install Palm Desktop 6.2 on Windows 7 computer so I can down load data on my Palm to desktop computer.
Before final installation I get the following message:
"This set-up does not support upgrading from your current installationof Palm OS Desktop."
Uninstall your current desktop." Desktop not installed on computer.
Closed this info box and next box popped up.
"The wizard was interrupted before Palm Desktop by access could be completed. Your system has not been modified.
To install this progaram at a later time, please run installation again."
And finally the following message popped up:
"The selected Port COM1 is not available at this time. Hot Sync manager will open the port whwn it becomes avaialble."
Any idea what I can do to get this progarm to load on my new computer?
Post relates to: Tungsten T2

Try to "clean" uninstall PD and re-install 6.2. 6.2 has data loss issues, FYI. You can export the data to backup and if the data is lost, import the data to recover.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right corner of the hotsync screen.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a separate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb2/common/article/28734_en.html
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.hpwebos.com webpage.
http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/47831_en.html#tungstent2
There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.

Palm Desktop software for Tungsten E wiped out my contacts

My Tungsten E has been dead for a few years, and will not take a charge, so my contacts are no longer available from it in sync mode. However, I had still been using Palm Desktop to manage contacts. Suddenly one day it started asking me for a user name and PW, which it had never done before. It will let me log on, but there are no contacts to be found, and they're not hidden, either. Further, I cannot find my contacts file anywhere in the Palm directory. I've searched everywhere. My computer does not have any viruses, and is fully operational. Every other program is working fine, including some very complex stock/options trading programs. Am I missing something?

Cant get Palm desktop to download for a Tungsten-E

hi guys, I have an OLD Tungsten-E, and I cant get the Palm Desktop to download to my new(er) windows 7....any ideas?
thanks!

When you attempt to HotSync, what happens? Any error message?
IIRC, the internet connection part was nothing important.. Are you saying Palm Desktop does not appear on your computer if you choose "No."?
Is the HotSync Manager running? Can you see the red and blue icon in the tool tray of the PC?
Might try a "Clean Uninstall"/reinstall of Palm Desktop.
Here are the clean uninstall instructions.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something happens. You can find your data files by going to C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and copy. Then go to your PC desktop, right click on a blank spot and select paste. You can skip the first step above because of the data not being current.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do with Palm Desktop from your computer. Like the above folder, delete the Palm folder. Once this is done, you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System registry.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC to not start up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them everything they need to delete.

Next reboot your computer
Then reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you did not sync before you create a hotsync name.

Palm desktop support for Tungsten E2 on new iMacs

I recently purchased a 21-inch iMac, and now find that Palm Desktop for my Tungsten E2, among the apps downloaded from my previous iMac, is not supported on the new one, because it was designed for PowerPC. Is there an Intel-compatible Palm Desltop that I can download that will support my Palm Tungsten E2.

The current owner of Palm Desktop has not seen fit to update Palm Desktop for Mac. There is no money in it for them, so I don't see any resolution.

Can't get Palm Desktop app to react after syncing with Yahoo mail calendar info

Attempted to move calendar from Yahoo mail page to Palm Desktop in my Macbook--
Yahoo page says "don't use Intellisync" --thre is a new program called Autosync--but it turns out it doesn't work for Macs --clearly, many instructions on Yahoo paged do not apply to Macs--
find this is a common problem on many sites--assumption that all are PC folks.
Imagine how things will go if Microsoft actually buys Yahoo!
Anyway--Created Calendar as a CV file and imported to Palm Desktop--
now cannot get program to run correctly--it appears all of the calendar info was imported to calendar day on which I imported it--so there is a huge amount of info being processed whenever I attempt to interact with the app.--the dreaded beachball appears and spins endlessly--
Have re-installed Palm app. (4.2.1) but problem seems to be imbedded, and re-occurs.
Is there any solution except to dump the entire app. from my hard drive, lose my archive et. al.
and re-synch from my Tungsten E2???

Palm Desktop

I am having two problems that I can't seem to solve w/ Palm desktop.
First, I have the problem that when I view month mode in calendar my program quits. Not every month. Just some. I looked on this web site and after that I made sure no appointments went through midnight. Then I purchased and used Pimlico DbFixIt. Neither solved the problem, nor did the normal things such as reinstalling program (many times over a day trying to solve other problems as well), but I reinstalled to fix, then just to reinstall, then I uninstalled old and reinstalled fresh. Nothing worked. Gave up...
Secondly, every time my computer goes into sleep mode my desktop alarm manager shuts down. Actually it does not always shut down (sometimes it does, mostly it does not if my palm desktop is running when it goes into sleep mode), but otherwise it does. I have checked my program but cannot find anything.
I am running Garnet v. 5.4.7 on Tungsten E2.
OS on computer is Vista. I have downloaded and installed PalmdesktopWin62.
This problem began after a massive problem with my datebook a couple of weeks ago. Most everything was lost and I was able to retrieve most by going to my laptop where I had the desktop installed (mostly for backup purposes) and exporting the records and then importing them onto my desktop. I spent a day working through a number of problems to get that done. I had actually been having the problem of my desktop shutting down when looking at the month view for a week or two before that. Since I don't use that view much, it may have been a problem for a much longer amount of time.
Thanks.
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Thanks, I'm working on the crashing program. There are a couple of things I'm experiencing which are just weird. I hesitate to ditch 6.2 because I was experiencing problems with my previous desktop after getting new computer and Vista. I don't remember what version that was, probably whatever came on CD w/ pda. But it worked w/out problems for quite a while.
I am still having the problem w/ the second item. Every time my computer goes into sleep mode my desktop alarm manager shuts down. Actually it does not always shut down (sometimes it does, mostly it does not if my palm desktop is running when it goes into sleep mode), but otherwise it does. I have checked my program but cannot find anything that I could change. But maybe I'm overlooking something.
Addition: ALSO -- I just hotsynced my pda & the alarm manager crashed when I did that!

Palm desktop software calendar problem

I am having a problem with the desktop software (6.2 version). When viewing the calendar in the "month" view, as I move forward to the months of November, December and January the program locks up and shuts down. If I move into those months in the weekly view it works fine. Any suggestions?
Post relates to: Tungsten T

Thanks for the speedy response. However, I read the article for which you provided the link, and I hve also read many other articles that I found via search, but I don't think these will help me. All of these articles seem to assume that (1) you have a handheld to which you can sync and thereby rebuild the database on the PC, or (2) you have a backup that you created via the Palm Desktop export function. Unfortunately, I have neither and so I don't think any of these solutions will work for me.
I did read with great interest an article that stated that recent versions of Palm Desktop have a built-in function that will repair a corrupted Datebook database. Will this also fix a corrupted Address Book database which is my problem?
So, I downloaded and attempted to install the latest version of Palm Desktop. I was careful to read the instructions that stated NOT to uninstall my current version of Palm Desktop, but to just install the latest version on top of my current Palm Desktop. However, when I attempted to do the installation, the installer software said it could not install on top of my current software and that I should first uninstall my current software.
I have some questions now:
(1) If I uninstall my current version of Palm Desktop, will this destroy my Address Book, Datebook, and Memo databases ( I don't care about the ToDo database)? If so, what can I do to preserve those databases?
(2) Is there really a function built in the recent versions of Palm Desktop that will fix a corrupted database? Is this an "automatic" function that will detect and fix a broken database or is this something I will have to invoke?
Thanks for your help.
