Unable to transfer contacts on palm desktop (windows) to ipod nano

My friend has a PC with all her contacts within Palm desktop. She now wants to transfer the contacts into her iPod nano. I am lost! It is my understanding that a vcard needs to be created, but I am unsure how to do this on the PC. Can anyone assist?

This was not a question I asked.

HT5557 I just updated to the latest version of itunes, and now I am unable to transfer a newly purchased ibook to my ipod nano

Hi there. I recently updated to the latest version of itunes, and am unable to get newly-purchased ibooks onto my ipod - I don't see any way to click and drag the ibook. Am I missing something?

Many thanks b Noir
This is a copy of ONEof the keys in the registry I changed as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so I downloaded the software and installed again.
Sorry, just this minute went to insert image and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content is not allowed?.
The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr SiRem GEARAspiWDN.
The GEARsoftware info about manually deleting GEAR drive is from:

I hope you can help

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.
I just bought an iPod-Touch, so I would like to easily transfer
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.

Move contacts from Palm Desktop to Cell??

I've got a non-responsive Centro which I've taken to Verizon for trouble-shooting. In the meantime, I plan to use an old LG for a couple of days. Does anyone know how to move contacts from Palm Desktop to the LG?

Unfortunately since it's two different operating systems you will not be able to transfer your contacts to your Lg device. However, it might be possible to do an address book transfer in the store from your Palm to your Lg.

I have
Exported the pics from iPhoto to the desktop. Inserted sd card into side of iMac. The icon of card popped up.
Attempts to no avail:
1)   Dragged the photos to the disk icon for the sd card.
2)   Dragged pictures into the DCIM folder (where all photos taken on camera resided).
3)   Created new folder. Put photos from desktop into folder and dragged ne folder inside DCIM -since pictures taken at different times had their own folders inside the DCIM folder.
Every time the photos/files end up showing up on the sd card as long as it is in my computer but when ejected and inserted into my camera, all imported photos/jpeg file are gone.
Hmmmmm

Can not transfer contacts from Nokia 1020 Windows ...

Can not transfer contacts from Nokia 1020 Windows Phone to Mercedes C. Windows Phone states that it is only voice connection when trying to transfer data, and if sharing, Mercedes will not show up as bluetooth device at all. However Merceds show Noika as a device. I tried other phones and they work, smart phones and not smart phones. What to do?

Maximum contacts in palm desktop 6

I'm trying to import my contacts into Palm desktop... I have about 650 contacts - what's the max I can import? Can I split up the file and import smaller chunks at once?
Post relates to: Treo 650 (Unlocked GSM)

Hello jamstyle,
You will want to export the data out of your Yahoo and Comcast accounts into a coma separated file (.csv file) and the import thoes data files into Palm Desktop. From there, you can sync the data to your Palm. If you haven't already done so, I would configure your Palm to HotSync with your computer first.

Can I transfer music from my iPad to my iPod nano without a laptop?

I do not seem to be able to transfer music between Apple products. Both my iPad and my iPod nano have a lightening fitting but there do not seem to be any lightening to lightening cables around in order to transfer from my iPad to my iPod? I'm downloading music to my iPad from iTunes, yet I am unable to put these on my iPod which, as a dance teacher, is extremely frustrating. I've tried switching on the Bluetooth on both products to see if this works and it does not. I do not currently have a laptop, so please can someone advise as to whether I can actually share the music that I've paid for between my devices? I really hope so.

You cannot transfer music directly between your iPad and iPod nano.
To do what you want you need a computer.
When you have one, sync both devices to the same iTunes running on that computer. This will also backup both your devices which you should do regularly anyway.

Windows recognizes ipod nano (1st generation) but itunes doesn't

I'm a happy owner of ipod nano for about a year. My itunes and ipod nano was working perfectly until few days ago I encountered problems with both of them.
I fixed my itunes (which kept showing an error message when I tried to uninstall/repair it) but after i got that fixed my itunes couldn't detect my ipod nano.
I looked at a directions page in this website and it told me to "press start service" in something. (i forgot what that "something" was)
Whenever I connect my ipod nano to my itunes, the ipod folder & error message about "ipod service module" pops up.
I'm DESPERATE to fix this problem. So please answer my question and thank you. =]
Ipod Nano (1st generation) Windows XP
Ipod Nano (1st generation) Windows XP

One of the services in Windows that has to be on is iPod Service. If that service doesn't stay started, iTunes won't see the iPod.
Go into your services (administrative tools, services) and scroll down until you see it. If the service doesn't say started, right-click on it, choose start. In properties, it should show as automatic.
While I know you already reinstalled iTunes, another reinstall of it might put the service back in the correct mode of starting whenever iTunes needs it.

Transferring contacts from palm desktop to itouch

I would like to transfer my contacts from my palm desktop to my itouch. Any suggestions? Thanks

Copy the contacts to am ipod touch compatible program (i.e. address book, outlook) then sync the ipod touch to that program via itunes ( the info tab).
I did this. I think I found directions on the Palm site. You could also Google it.

1) Thanks for moving me - I'm incredibly lost!
2) I have tried the "run as administrator" thing before. I just changed the UAC settings. And I tried installing the new driver. I don't know which part of those (either the change of UAC settings or the attempting to download/ install the new 64 bit driver). But now when I try to connect via IR, I get "Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application" on my Clie.
3) I was giddy at the thought of a new driver, but it's not working. I'm going to post that questions on that thread, I suppose.

I'm going to work on getting the new driver to work. If not, I'll be back bumping up this thread. Thank you for your suggestions!
ETA: I just undid the UAC settings and now my IR connection works again. My stuff still isn't showing up in Palm Desktop, but at least it *says* it's hotsyincing again via IR.

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?

What king of files? If they are iWork files then sure. However if they are third party files such as Excel spreadsheets or MS Word documents etc.. then I'd recommend using Dropbox.

Using Address Book Exporter to move Address Book Contacts to Palm Desktop

I have had strangely mixed results using "Address Book Exporter" to create files that can be imported into Palm Desktop.
I really want to export all 1200 of my Address book cards to my new Treo 700P. Too complex?
I set up a new group in my Address Book and placed about 400 cards in it. I then used Address Book Exporter to export all of these records using template "Palm Desktop" onto a .txt file on my hard drive.
When I opened my Palm Desktop application and clicked on import, I first had to cause the dialogue box to show all files rather than just "readable files" in order for the exported files to be available. When I clicked on the file of 400 Address book cards that I had exported, I got the dialogue box similar to FileMaker where you have to line up the receiving fields in the Palm Desktop application with the fields in the file that Address Book Exporter created.
When I set the "fields" drop-down menu to "addresses" and set the "Delimiters" drop-down menu to "Palm Desktop", everything just lined up automatically. No futher adjustments were needed. I just clicked OK and the 400 records were transferred to my Palm Desktop Address list - ready to further transfer to my new Treo 700P - successfully.
But when I went through this exact same routine, instead exporting all of the cards in my Address book, when I got to the last step and set the two drop down menus - the "fields" drop-down menu to "addresses" and set the "Delimiters" drop-down menu to "Palm Desktop" - nothing happened. The fields in the exported file did not line up at all. The created export file I opened showed only one "superfield' with all the data in it (just as the earlier example had, at first) which would not change to all of the fields needed to line up with the Palm Desktop importing fields as had happened in the first example.
Why the two different reactions to what seems to be the same routines? Does Address Book Exporter have a cap on the size of the export it can handle?
I just don't understand it.

If the iphone goes through the sync and nothing is moved to the iphone, there might be something blocking the sync.
Here is an article from the apple support website that might help in finding out if there is something blocking the sync.
