Tungsten t5 + windows vista

I have a palm tungsten t5 and a desktop computer with windows vista. which drivers should I install
Post relates to: Tungsten T5

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
The Palm site says Palm Desktop 4.1.4e. But the Quick Install tool won't work under Vista. You need to go with Palm Desktop 6.2 which is "officially" not compatible with the T5, then go to www.pimlicosoftware.com to download the free PalmHotsyncSetup utility.
Note, if your Vista is 64-bit you won't be able to sync via USB cable as there are no 64-bit drivers. You are then limited to Bluetooth or Infrared Beam sync.

Windows Vista and No Driver Software for Tungsten E2

I have had my Palm Tungsten E2 for a few months. It works fine and did perfectly well with the Windows XP operating system. Recently I changed computers and have Windows Vista. I installed the program from the CD and then was alerted to go to the website to get the newest version to function with Vista. After doing all of this my Palm will not sync with the computer for it states that I need the driver software installed so that it can function appropriately.
I have done searches on teh computer and online looking for this "software" and it is nowhere to be seeen. Is it part of the Palm Desktop software? Is there a special place it is hiding? I followed the instructions on the Palm site regarding where to find the software manually, but could not come across it.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

So you have Palm desktop 6.2? Go to help-about in Palm desktop and look for the version number.
The driver is part of Palm desktop.
You can try this method to see if you can load the driver.
Open device manager on your computer by right clicking on computer, go to properties, hardware and then open device manager. Look under USB devices and see if there is an entry for Palm OS handheld. If you see it, right click on the entry, select uninstall driver. Disconnect the handheld and reconnect. Look at device manager and see if the handheld appears. IF it does then try and Hotsync again.
If it doesn't work, you will need to do a "clean" uninstall of Palm desktop and re-install.
Here are the instructions. Bypass the first step below regarding backing up your data, since you don't have any on the computer.
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.
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 and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
did not sync before create a hotsync name.

Hot Sync problems with Windows Vista using a Tungsten E2

Need Help solving a hot sync problem. Have a Tungsten E2, about a year old. Use Windows Vista OS. Can not sync to desktop. It worked fine for awhile then stopped sync'ing. Have reinstalled Palm Software, Have downloaded Palm 6.2. Have deleted all 3rd party apps,,,and their back up files. Particulary,,,,Epocrates apps, Took over my PDA.

I use my PDA for all my scheduling of work shifts appts etc. I would appreciate some suggestions. Thanks in advance. Mike.
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. So if I am understanding you when you try to sync it goes to calendar and freezes and never completes the sync. That being the case the first thing you want to do is go to the conduits and turn off calendar then sync and all should be successful, except calendar will not sync. What this indicates is that you have corrupted data in your calendar, most likely on the E2. Do a google search on your computer for a utility 'dbfixit' and download it to your computer. Extract it so you have the dbfixit.prc file and double click on it to put it in the installer. Then, insuring the calendar conduit is off, sync to install it. Once installed run dbfixit. This utility is free or can be purchased for (I believe) 12.95. The free version will search for corruption and problems let you know where they are and you will have to manually fix or delete them. If you register it, when you run the utility it will find the errors and fix them as well. Once all errors are fixed, turn the calendar conduit back on and you should be able to sync.

Windows Vista Ultimate Quick Install for Tungsten E2

Well, I have a Tungsten E2, which I use commenly, but not often. I just got a my dad's old computer for Christmas (which is a huge upgrade from mine, which was made in the 1990's I think), and he got me Windows Vista Ultimate for it. I can do everything with it; Palm Desktop, Hotsync, etc. except for using Palm Quick Install. I really don't feel like posting a picture, so I will just describe it. First I have to allow it to run, and then it checks Microsoft for a solution to use it. After that it says "palmOne Quick Install has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
|Close Program|

I have noticed around the site that many people are having problems with Vista, but I haven't seen any with this particular problem.

Can't HotSync my Tungsten E2 with my Windows Vista 64 Bit System and I'm Upset!!!!!

By no choice of my own we were dealt the unfortunate hand of having to replace our last computer it died and to fix it was too much so against my better judgement we had to get an HP with Windows Vista 64 bit on it and there's a bunch of things that wont work with it and my Palm Tungsten E2 is one of those things that wont work.
I have looked on here before I asked what to do and I've seen something about syncing by bluetooth? I'm not computer literate so you'll have to speak to me in terms I can understand. I'm not an idiot but not computer savy.
I know what a blue tooth is but here's where I'll sound "stupid" is it the same type of bluetooth as you'd use for your phone?
I'd really like to get this backed up on our computer because I have alot of info on it and I'm lost without it and I'm tinkled off that now I can't use it.
Help if you can.
Thanks,
Michelle
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Hi Michelle, "BlueTooth" is not something you hold in your hand - it's a wireless radio network used for short-range data transfer. Much like "FM" or "AM" radios. There are dozens of devices nowadays that have BlueTooth built into them - GPS units, laptops, phones, PDA's, cars, etc. (And yes, the little earpiece that people love to show off more often than necessary uses BlueTooth!)
Your option is to add BlueTooth capability to your laptop by purchasing a tiny "dongle". (A dongle is a generic term for any little USB device that protrudes from your computer.)
There are several ongoing threads about syncing to 'Vista 64 via BlueTooth in this section of the forum. The key to success in purchasing a BlueTooth dongle is verifying that the dongle does support Vista64...

I just got a new laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit. I have bluetooth on my laptop. I am trying to figure out some way to sync my T5 with Vista 64-bit. Can someone please help me!

While there is no USB driver written, it is most certainly possible to sync a T5 via BlueTooth or Wifi!!!

Windows Vista with a Tungsten E and Tungsten W

What operating system should I use to manage Tungsten E and Tungsten W while running Windows Vista?
Post relates to: Tungsten E

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
The Windows Hotsync board is chock full of threads and stickies regarding Windows Vista and older Palm devices such as yours.
32-bit Vista: use Palm Desktop 6.2.2 plus PalmHotsyncSetup from www.pimlicosoftware.com
64-bit Vista: USB Hotsync won't work (no drivers). Must use IR beaming, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to Hotsync
p.s. I have merged your two threads

Documents to go on Tungsten T with Windows Vista

I haven't used my Palm for a number of years and have just started again with my Vista computer. I need to sync my Windows Vista PC with my Tungsten T to get an Excel spreadsheet from one to the other. Do I still use Documents to Go or is there some other software now available? I checked out the DataVis website and it suggests that I can get Documents to go ver.8, however v9 or below won't work with Vista. v. 10 is their most recent upgrade, however it isn't compatible with Tungsten T!!! I can't seem to get any support on that website, so hopefully someone out there can help?
Post relates to: Tungsten T

Dear kalinda13,
This all sound familiar (I have the TX) and short of a cash outlay to upgrade Docs2Go to the most recent 'Vista-friendly' version, you're quite right - the program won't sync with your device. But the program is compatible, the sync isn't.
That said, if you haven't already done it, your Docs2Go should install on your Vista machine (and thus, send the device version over on a HotSync - this being the important part) with few issues. Having done this, open HotSync Manager > Custom > and set Docs2Go as 'Do Nothing' and make this its Default. Now completely ignore the desktop Docs2Go program thereafter - but don't uninstall it. That may cause the device's version to uninstall, too.
Now, the T has a SD slot, yes? A SD card, installed on your T should already have two folders on it - DCIM and Palm. Using my desktop's SD reader/writer, I have further created a folder on a card as Documents, into which I copied via the desktop's SD writer all the relevant Word / Excel docs I want at hand.
Inserted back into my Palm, the device's Docs2Go program then finds and displays them without issue.
Now granted, 'syncing' changed docs is a more manual procedure (involving moving the SD card between devices and copying over / overwriting changes) than with the Desktop Docs2Go program, and you won't have the sync capabilities available as an icon with your Word / Excel program - but if Docs2Go (without cash outlay) doesn't work, that is a bit of a moot point.
And obviously, any files created by another WP Suite (say, OpenOffice) and that is saved to regular Word/Excel file types (not the Office 2007 docs file type) will be able to be read / written by your device's Docs2Go, too.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: Dataviz (creators of Docs2Go) have just recently announced a discount upgrade path to their current 'Vista-friendly' v10 -
http://www.palminfocenter.com/news/7437/documents-to-go-special-upgrade-pricing/
at $19.99, normally $29.99. v10 requires PalmOS 5, which I believe the T has, yes?
Meanwhile, Docs2Go for Palm website is here -

Palm TX HotSync Problems with Windows Vista (DeskTop V6.2.2 HotSync Manager V7.0.2)

I have recently had to re-install DeskTop on my Windows Vista PC and at the same time updated to V6.2.2. but the HotSync manager gets to "Synchronising Date Book" and just hangs up until I close things with Task Manager. I've tried re-booting my PC reloading the software and soft resetting my TX but so far I haven't found a solution. Can anyone help please?
Post relates to: Palm TX

When a sync hangs on a component of Palm Destop, it usually means the data is corrupted in that component. The calendar is the culprit most of the time.
Click on the following link for the program called DbFixiT. This program has a trial version that you can download and install on your Palm OS device. The trial version will scan for database corruption and then report the corruption. You can then find the records causing the problem and fix them yourself or you can purchase the program and have it automatically fix the records.
http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm
To install the program, set all conduits to "do nothing" except quick install or install if using Palm desktop 6.2.
After you install the program on the handheld, run the scan and also scan for Blobs in the calendar.
After you clean-up the database on the handheld, set the conduits in hotsync to handheld overwrites desktop and perform a hotsync.
If you need more info. regarding DBFixit, there is a PDF manual on their website.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.hpwebos.com webpage.

Problems installing PalmDesktopWin414e on Windows Vista 64

My Palm is Tungsten E and my current operating system is Windows Vista 64 in Portuguese(Brazil). I did install the program PalmDesktopWin414e and at the end, after the installation completes OK for the Palm software, begins the installation of the Hot Sync and tells me to start a synchronization to complete the installation. At that point Windows Vista appears and try to install the driver for the new hardware and “looked” at: Windows up date, ask me to put the original disk, look for a solution at the Internet, and at the end says that can’t install the new hardware because could not find the driver for it and suggest me to contact the hardware manufacture. At that point I can open the Palm software but I can not synchronize, every time that I try it begins the same attempt to install the driver for the new hardware and again failure at the end. Unnecessary to say that all my important data are at the Tungsten E and I need to synchronize in order to keep using it. I would appreciate very much if someone could help me installing this device.

Thank you for your quick answer Mr AlanG. I have to tell you that I did try to point to driver’s folder, and also to the original installation CD and nothing. Otherwise the final part of your message is the answer for the problem, “Palm Desktop isn't supported on the 64-bit versions of Windows XP” well considering that it won’t work on Widows XP 64 it is sure that will not work on Windows Vista 64.
I want to remember that Windows Vista 64 is every Windows Vista version (Ultimate, Business, Home Premium, Home Basic, etc) installed in a modern motherboard.
When PALM on http://www.palm.com/us/support/windowsvista/index.html says:
Palm Desktop versions 4.1.4e and 4.2 will install on Windows Vista and will synchronize Personal Information Manager (PIM) items including Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Memos.
It is not true because only will install on older motherboards that has Windows Vista 32 installed. You (Palm) should correct this because you are selling handhelds that do not work on Windows Vista installed on modern motherboard or you (Palm) should work quickly on a software that works on Windows Vista 64 and put it on the site for free download.
Kindly

Windows Vista update for palmOne LifeDrive

http://www.palm.com/us/support/windowsvista/#palmdesktop
LifeDrive Manager (for LifeDrive) and File Transfer (for Tungsten T5), the desktop applications that simplify file synchronization between your handheld and PC, are currently not compatible with Windows Vista. Please check back for updates.
When will updates be available for the LifeDrive? There's nothing wrong with the LifeDrive so I really don't want to purchase another PDA right now.
Thank you

Sorry, I just changed the batteries in my keyboard.
I have another question. I installed the Palm Desktop Version 4.1.4 from the CD onto my computer running Windows Vista. Since I can't use the LifeDrive in Vista, how do you uninstall the software. I successfully uninstalled the LifeDrive Manager which deleted the Palm Desktop icon from my Start Menu, but when I click on another Palm Desktop icon (shortcut) that I saved in another folder, it opens the application. The Palm Desktop application is not listed in Start > Control Panel > click Uninstall a program under Programs > Palm is not listed in the Programs and Features window.
I tried to manually deleted the files by going to Start > Computer > HP (C > Program Files (x86) > right-click the palmOne folder > click Delete > Are you sure you want to move this folder to the Recycle Bin > click Yes > a small windows pops up titled Destination Folder Access Denied with the message You need to confirm this operation. > click Continue > Windows needs your permission to continue > click Continue > a small windows pops up titled Destination Folder Access Denied with the message You need to confirm this operation. > click Try Again > the same windows appears so click Try Again > and so on.
How do you remove the PalmOne Desktop software from my computer?

Palm T/X Sync with Windows Vista - 64 processor

I have a Palm T/X handheld and recently purchased a new computer that has Windows Vista operating system and a 64-bit processor. I tried to download the software that would allow me to HotSync my T/X with Windows Vista, but apparently this does not work with a 64-bit processor. Is Palm going to provide that software download soon, or if not, how do I get around this issue? Thanks

Windows Vista Sync for a Tunsten T3

Just got a new computer with Vista loaded and am trying, fruitlessly I might add, to download, install and use Palm Desktop version 6.2 to sync my Tungsten to my computer. I think I've tried almost every possible way to make it work to no avail. Is there anyone who may know the fix or can assure me that there is no solution. Yout help is greatly appreciated.
Rich
Post relates to: Tungsten T3

1) The location for the Bluetooth Update software for the Tungsten T3 to Support a HP Pavilion dv7 running Vista 64-bit OS.
-im not sure what bluetooth update software you mean in your HP pavillion PC for the T3. if your PC has a builtin bluetooth on it, you can see the brand/model and version in the device manager.
if there maybe updates that should came from the manufacturer of the bluetooth device. so far there are 3 known drivers/stack for bluetooth that i know: widcomm, toshiba and generic/microsoft stacks.
2) Instructions on updating the Bluetooth settings on the T3 that do NOT involve using the HotSync (since that clearly isn't possible).
-there is no need to update the bluetooth settings of the T3 if you wish to do bluetooth hotsync as latest bluetooth versions available in the market are backwards compatible. so once the bluetooth stack is define, is just a matter of picking up the right settings for the PC and the T3 to communicate and do hotsync or send files and folders via the bluetooth radio.
3) Explanation why Palm is no longer supporting the T3. The website lists the product as mature, not end of life, nor end of support. Just as a note, the T3 is still one of the best and most powerful units it has ever produced.
-palm phones and handhelds has been classified into 4 categories or lifecyles. current, mature, legacy and historical. for mature units, these are units that are no longer sold as new at palm stores and its authorized dealers or retailers. palm are not totally abandoning support for these models although some services and options are no longer available. you can still do repair and phone support with a fee and free chat support.
4) Explanation why Palm/ACCESS is requiring Palm users to open up their PC's to clear access vulnerabilities via Bluetooth.
-it was indicated in the release of palm desktop 6.2 that windows vista 64bit is not supported. however, there were some who was able to find a workaround and that's bluetooth and wifi sync.
it's optional though as it's the users prerogative to try that workaround if they really wanted to sync their devices to the 64bit vista. so if some people find it too risky to try such workarounds then they simply look for another alternative such as other models or may shift to other manufacturers depending on what's feasible in their part.
5) Explanation why on my previous laptop (HP Pavilion dv6000 running 64-bit Vista) everything worked fine via the USB HotSync.
-in windows vista sync 64bit for mature devices like the T3, it may work in some cases but it is bound to fail since it's not supported as indicated in the release of palm desktop 6.2 which is the only version that will work for windows vista.
