Unable to synch Treo 680 phone to MAC

I just got a Treo 680 from ebay. I have used Palms for the past few years. My latest Tungsten E2 quit synching so I got the phone. Now I am unable to synch it as well. Any help is appreciated.

I am using MAC OS 10.4 with Palm Desktop version PAlm OS Version Garnet v5.4.9. Two files seem to exist on the desktop though I'm not getting the information from one into the other--problem one. The other problem is the sync itself. Here are the logs from yesterday, the first from the TREO attempt, the second from the Tungsten:

Syncing Treo 680 (DateBk6) with Mac OS X 10.4.9?

I have just switched from a PC to a Mac yesterday. My most important question is how do I sync my Treo 680 (with DateBk6) to my new Mac. I have a lot of apps on my Treo (including Avantgo), so iSync is ruled out. After reading other forums and doing a search on this forum (and reading the 8/15/06 ginasmith thread) plus reading about Missing Sync, these appear to be my best options:
1. Continue to use Palm HotSync manager to sync to Palm Desktop (PD) on my Mac.
2. Use Missing Sync to sync to my PD on my Mac.
3. Use Missing Sync to sync to the Mac PIMs (iCal, Address Book, Notes and Missin Sync's memo app) on my Mac.
I need advice on which works best. Here's some more background:
1. I do not share my calendar with anyone.
2. I have 2300 contacts, 6300 calendar entries stretching back to 1970, 300 tasks and 51 memos in my Palm Desktop.
3. I use Gmail and look at my mail as a tab on Firefox.
4. I also use SplashPhoto (but am not wedded to it) and DocsToGo. These two apps as well as all the Palm PIMs mentioned above appear nicely together on one side panel on my Palm Desktop.
5. The DateBk6 on my Treo is my favorite app of all those on my Treo AND PC. Mylife is organized and structured using DateBk6.
The most important consideration to me in making this decision is stability and reliability of the sync. As I understand it, the primary reason to use method 3 above is the integration with the Mac programs, especially mail.
I can see that this is a positive. Also, on other forums, I've learned that Missing Sync is stable and reliable and offers greater flexibility than PD in syncing with different conduit sets, etc. I have been using a PC tool (Ultasoft NotSync) which also allows different conduit sets for syncing.
I have noticed what appear on first blush to be calendar limitations of iCal compared to PD. It does not offer a year view and has no "go to" thereby requiring me when looking at 1990 or 2010, for example, to move backward or forward by month. In addition the foldout ToDo section looks skimpy and only offers three priorities. On the other hand, it's color coding of events is far superior to PD. I assume that iCal and address book can handle the 15 categories that I would use for both as well as ToDos.
I understand that Missing Sync provides the memo desktop app since Mac doesn't have one (assuming the Stickies doesn't sync and doesn't appear to me to be a good choice even if it did).
I'm perfectly willing to try method 3 to see if I like it and, if not, switch back to the Palm Desktop, which I realize isolates my personal information from the other Mac apps, thereby limiting some of Mac's powerful tools. One person that I respect on the DateBk6 forum has stated that she occasionally tries the Mac PIMs but feels that they come up short versus PD and always ends up switching back to PD.
I'd be very grateful for any counsel or comments from anyone who has used both the Mac PIMs and Palm Desktop.

The are several advantage to using iCal, the Address Book and Mail.
One is their ability to share contact, event and task data. There are simple examples of this with the integration of Mail and the Address Book, and with the auto-generated iCal Birthdays calendar, entries in which are created whenever you add birthday data to a contact card.
A less discussed but very important reason to use them is that developers of applications with extended contact, event or tasks management capabilities focus on information integration with one or more of these Apple applications, either through the synchronization framework, or directly. Take a look at iGDT, for example: it is a far more sophisticated task management application than iCal is, but synchronizes with it so that task data is available in iCal, or can be viewed without launching iCal using the simple MenuCalendar Clock (iCal Edition) utility, activated in your menu bar.
The Palm Desktop can do none of this, because it is neither synchronization services-aware, nor extensible through additional third-party software.
The transition from Palm Desktop to the Apple applications can be challenging, but once performed, works very well, particularly if you consider third-party add-ons like iGDT for task management. The secret to such a transition is to proceed slowly and deliberately, and insure that your data is backed up. You can move your data in several ways: one approach is to move contacts, events and tasks using the Missing Sync for Palm OS without initially overwriting your Palm device, then immediately doing the following:
• make any contact corrections, group assignments or other changes in the Address Book
• make any event and task changes in iCal
• set the Mark/Space Contacts, Events and Tasks conduits to overwrite the contents of you Palm device during the next synchronization, but only that one time [the default behavior when you overwrite your device]
In this manner, you will replace all of the data on your Palm device with the corrected data which originated on it and was moved immediately prior to this procedure to the Address Book and iCal.
I have never set down the 'recipe' for doing this, primarily because there are so many variables involved. But, I have guided others through the steps applicable to their particular configuration, and I can certainly help you do that.
Before jumping to that step, however, I would encourage you to look around at your 'extended' options:
• Crm4Mac for single-view information management
• Journier for journaling
• simpleDays for journaling, using a day runner and so on
• Studiometry for comprehensive business information management
• EasyTask Manager to implement a GDT approach
• iGDT to implement a GDT approach
• Process: an outline-driven, near free-form project management tool
• HighPriority: an extension of iCal used to manage tasks alone
• Dossier for organizing notes and tasks
• BaseCamp: a web-driven, multiuser project management application
• iTaskX for project management
• Merlin2 for project management
• the app4mac xTime series of project, staff and inventory management applications
The list just goes on and on…

Need help to retrieve data from my Treo 680

Hi All,
Last night, while charging my Treo 680 phone, it hanged. Therefore, I do a reset but removing the battery and put it back again. After the restart, all my text message, photos and video files are gone. However, my lists of memo and the wallpaper are there.
I have also noticed that my text message folder header still display Inbox (0/368), Sent (0/78), Saved (0/5) but the messages can't be found. I am also puzzled that all my photos are gone but the wallpaper still appear and the photo which is one that has been saved in the folder.
Can anyone please kindly give me some advises on how can I retrieve the photos from the phone?
Thank you.

Just wondering if you sync your treo to a computer?
If you do have you checked in the media option to see if the photos are there? You should have most everything backed up on your computer, however I do not think your text messages will be there.

If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

Syncing Treo 680 with Mac PIMs (using Missing Sync)

Thanks to Michael Lafferty's excellent advice, I was ready to start syncing my Treo 680 with Mac's PIMs using Missing Sync. However, after extensive research and asking questions on five different forums, I'm getting conflicting advice. H
Here's my Treo PIMs situation:
Calendar 802K (6378 events/12 categories)
Contacts 1285K (2306/13)
Memos 184K (52/14)
Tasks 79K (250/10)
Here are the issues that I have received conflicting answers about:
1. I have 9 custom fields on my Treo with a lot of information in them. These are critical fields to me. It took me many days to pull this info out of my Contacts notes and enter in these 9 custom fields for 2306 contacts. Is it true that I cannot sync these 9 customs fields with Mac's Address Book? I've been told many times that this won't happen. If it can be done, will changes that I make in data entries for these fields in the Mac Address Book sync properly and be reflected on my Treo.
2. Can the conduits be set to "handheld overwrites Mac"? I've been told that it cannot. This and #1 are deal killers for me.
3. I have seven phone fields on my Treo. They are in this exact order:
work (1701 entries)
home (209)
Fax (291)
email (201)
mobile (201)
pager (31)
main (145)
Will I be able to successfully sync these with Mac's Address Book? If not, is there any reason that I couldn't take whatever fields won't sync and move them to some of the Treo 9 custom fields? The last question is moot if custom fields are not supported.
4. I average about 12 categories for each of my 4 PIMs. Do these all sync over correctly to the Mac PIMs?
5. I also have Treo notes attached to many, if not most, of my Contacts, Calendar events and Tasks. Will these all sync properly with the Mac PIMs such that I can make changes on either side of the equation and have them reflected after syncing on the other side?
6. Are there any other limitations in my ability to faithfully be able to recreate my 4 Treo 680 PIMs accurately and completely in the Mac PIMs?
I realize that any reference to non-Address Book PIMs is off-target. I hope you'll excuse me dumping the other three PIMs into the mix. My primary concern is Treo Contacts/Mac Address Book.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) Treo 680 (DateBk6)

Q: I have 9 custom fields on my Treo with a lot of information in them…
A: The Missing Sync does not synchronize custom Address Book fields between a Palm device and your Address Book application, but will not remove those fields from the Palm if the conduits are set to synchronize. If your conduit is set to the nonstandard Overwrite handheld with desktop data, the custom fields will be overwritten. I point this out because it is, at times, necessary to make a choice like this, and as a result: its bye-bye custom field data!
The Missing Sync cannot perform custom field synchronization because the Sync Services framework does not allow The Missing Sync to create new fields in Address Book to match your Palm custom fields.
Q: Can… conduits be set to handheld overwrites [desktop]?
A: No, because again, the framework does not support this specific type of bidirectional data transfer.
Q: I have seven phone fields on my Treo…
A: This is an issue primarily with the manner in which a Palm device handles such information. Though they are displayed in a particular manner on your device, they are not necessarily stored in a specific order by the Palm contact application, and can only be retrieved when labeled with an expected or 'accepted' field label. This issue gets complicated quickly, but in short…
• only the first seven phone numbers sent to your device by the framework are written to the device
• the order is not something that can be controlled by a developer, and it is not necessarily the order displayed in either the Address Book contact record on your Palm device
• the Palm contact application does not distinguish between phone number and electronic mail address, though Mark/Space parses the data to look for the @ character—and, finding it—handles it as an electronic mail address
• only one of the several IM addresses you maintain in an Address Book contact record is transfered, and only one URL is transfered
• Palm categories are mapped to equivalent Address Book groups
As to synchronizing additional data to Palm custom fields, that's not supported. The place to put such data is in the Note: or Notes: field.
Q: I average about 12 categories…
A: As I suggested above, category and group equivalents are recognized and synchronized. Be sure that you name the ones you intend to synchronize identically in both environments.
Q: I also have Treo notes attached…
A: Again, these should synchronize bidirectionally, without issue.
Q: Are there any other limitations in my ability to faithfully be able to recreate…
A: Oh, yeah: because the data field labels and contents do not map 1:1, it is nearly impossible to create identical records in both environments. Look for the common abilities…
• a maximum of seven telephone numbers and electronic mail addresses
• a single IM identifier
• a single URL
…and work within those bounds. You can generally store and synchronize any additional identifiers in a Note: or Notes: record, but this is clearly less flexible and potentially more problematic than storing them in matching fields.
You briefly mentioned the other PIMs on your Palm device, and their OS X rough equivalents. Those controlled by Mark/Space OS X bundled applications will not be an issue: memos, for example. Their are Palm OS quirks which result in inequalities. The most obvious of these is the iCal multiple day event which spans two or more days in iCal, but which is represented on a Palm as only a single day event, displayed on the first day alone.

Hot Synch does not work, Treo 755p, USB, 17" Mac Pro Laptop, even with RevD installed and Allow other HotSynch applications preference check box checked

Hi,
I am a long time Palm enthusiast who is frustrated. No more Palm products for me or anyone I speak to until I solve this problem. Someone at Palm should be paying attention to their long time cusotmers. I bought Palms in 2002 and 2003.
The support literature coming with two Treo 755p that I bought was so poor that never saw the fine print that there was three months of support if I registered the devices. The registration page does not let me register. All the fields are ghosted after I put in the serial number. I bought one in June 2008 and the other in early 2008. So never registered and can get no help from Palm now it seems.
So beside that gripe below is the problem issue info.
I can't get a Verizon Treo 755p to USB cable Hot Synch with my daughters 17" Mac Pro Laptop. It is using OS 10.5x She lives in another city so I am trouble shooting this remotely.

Did in advanced settings on the Treo select in the Synch preferences allow other Hot Sync applications.
That process worked however on my own Treo 755p Verizon as below:
After much work, hours over several months, I got my my Treo 755p Verizon to Hot Synch with a QuickSilver desk top Mac running os 10.5x.
Did the RevD upgrade.
Did in advanced settings on the Treo select in the Synch preferences allow other Hot Sync applications. Otherwise the Wireless Synch feature prevents a Hot Synch.
Once those both were done than Hot Synch works fine, and Wireless Synch works fine and does not interfere.
The Wireless on both PDAs is scheduled to be removed on both Treos due the economy on Feb. 4th, so I would like the HotSynch to be working so her Treo is backed up.
Thanks so much to anyone who replies to help out.

Works now, she had created a user ID as prompted when installing the HotSynch Software, but it was not the same name of the Treo 755p. The default ID was the one she from installing the software, so it showed nothing in address or contacts, but when she switched to the Treo ID than all her stuff was there.

Hello! I had a treo 680 refurbished last year, and since I had already bought a 755p and switched carriers, I just held onto it... Well, I just tried to give it to a friend of mine, and it the phone won't turn on... After chatting with some foreign phone rep at Palm for about an hour, she said the phone was defective, long after my warranty for it has run out.... Ugh! Anyway, at first it would try to connect to the network but eventually time out... I thought that maybe by doing the ROW 1.12 update I could "trick" it into working again... I had a ton of problems doing the update, and after doing it with the SD version, I'm pretty sure the phone hardware inside is screwed... It now shows the 1.12 as the phone version, but it won't the phone cannot turn on... Anybody have any ideas? I have an old 680 laying around that had a broken screen -- any way to switch some component out from the old one without screwing this one up in the process? Thanks

Hi, I have just purchased a Macbook, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone? Ta

The easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder from your old PC to your MB (put it in the Music folder as a subfolder), along with the other valuable data on the old PC. Or restore it from a backup of your old PC. Then authorize iTunes on the MB to the same account you had on the PC. When you sync it will warn you that your content will be deleted, but it will be replaced with the same content from the MB. Before syncing you should also make sure there is at least one entry in iCal and Address book on the MB (assuming you sync to Outlook or equivalent on the PC) to assure that your contacts and calendar entries will move over correctly.
Al alternative that is less effective is to connect the iPhone to the MB without syncing, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. This willl copy purchases music, videos and apps, but not ripped tracks from the iPhone to the MB.

Palm Treo 680's Chinese and English datas + HotSync + Mac OS X?

Hello!
I am wondering if it is safe to get an Apple MacBook Pro for a client
who uses a Palm Treo 680 with English and Chinese datas (with CJKOS --
http://www.dyts.com/en/cjkos.html ). Currently, he uses his Windows
2000 SP4 on his old Dell Optiplex PC and Hotsync (via USB) his datas.
It has MS IME and TwinBridge to read and write Chinese characters.
Is he going to have any problems if he were to buy a new MacBook Pro
with the latest Mac OS X? I read that he will need a third party
softwares (Missing Sync for Palm v6.0 --
http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php [not free] and Palm
Encoding Setup -- http://lokiware.info/Palm-Encoding-Setup ). I was
told that using Palm Desktop is messy and complex. Also, is it safe to
mix both PC and Mac to share Palm datas? All these third parties and
fancy setups seems complex for a guy who doesn't know computers well.
Thank you in advance.

I have no experience with using a handheld with chinese character sets, but mac osx will natively support a range of chinese and japanese character sets. The best place to go is contact apple and check the correct sets are supported.
As for how messy etc palm desktop is, some people love it and others can't stand it. Personally I don't mind it but for people who have the same set of contacts they sync with isync and palm desktop I can see it getting very annoying even with missing sync (which I don't have). I'd recommend you find someone with a mac and actually have a go with it before you make any definite decisions you could regret.

My Treo 680 does this.
If I see this "in time" and can quickly move to an area of better
signal, the Treo reverts to "Phone On".
No problem there.
The issue is that if I am in an area of poor signal for some
(indeterminate) time, the phone passes though the "No Service" phase and
goes to "Phone Off" automatically and without warning.
THAT is the undesired feature I wish to correct.

Treo 680 won't sync calendar and contacts but everything else OK

I bought a Treo 680 off of Ebay. It is unlocked. ATT phone but I use T-Mobile. PHone works just fine but I can't use the Palm organizer for calendar or contacts. I have hard reset several times. WHen I do everything works except the contacts and calendar. When I push those buttons or try to open those apps the Treo immediately resets and never opens up the app.
OS of Mac? 10.5.6
Using Palm desktop
Version of Palm Desktop 4.2.1, Hot SYnc 5.4.0

Is this a software problem? DO I not have the right software in the computer? DOes Treo not work with Mac OS 10.5?

I think I solved teh problem though it is not elegant. I created a new user name and everything little that it was in the new calendar and on the Palm synched perfectly. Then I copied my old user data, replaced it in the new user id folder. Some stuff came through, some did not. WHat I have found is in the contacts, if I just click on the contact and put it in a category it syncs next time with the Palm. WIth the calendar in the conduit settings I told it to go from Mac to Handheld and everything came through.
If you have any other advise I would appreciate it. Especially how to sync with Entourage since I now use that as my email program.
Thanks

Unlocked (Rogers) Treo 680 Problem: No network after 1.12 upgrade

Here's what I did:
Bought Rogers GSM Treo 680 on Ebay and inserted my T-Mobile SIM Card.
Bought and applied unlock code.
Successfully used Treo 680 on T-Mobile (USA) for 7 months. Everything worked fine.
Recently upgraded to firmware version 1.12 using Palm "Unlocked" download. (Probably a mistake...I thought since I had unlocked the phone, I should use this Unlocked upgrade.) Now the phone would not connect to T-Mobile anymore.
Redid upgrade to Rogers 1.12 upgrade. Still won't connect to T-Mobile.
I couldn't find my unlock code, so spent $25 on a new unlock code. Entered it, reboot, still won't connect to T-Mobile.
Note: I can see T-Mobile and ATT in my "Select network" list. It always responds with "Unable to register with selected network".
What do I do now?
FYI, some of my phone info, if it matters:
Firmware: R01.92
Software: Treo680-1.12-ROW
CC-Cap: ROG-ROG-015
Carrier DB: 549
Hardware: A

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Solution: It turns out my 7-8 year old SIM card went bad (or was corrupted) during the upgrade process. T-Mobile Handheld Support authorized new SIM card for free - I picked it up at a downtown Seattle T-Mobile store.
