Upgrading from previous palm device

I just upgraded to from the Palm Treo 650 to the Palm Treo 755P and it sucks. Does not work with my new laptop which is Vista 64 bit system. It's too bac Palm put out a phone that does not work with a faster and more secure system. My question is why would you sell a phone that is not compatible with todays updated technology.
and by the way trying to get info through support is absolutely mind boggling as to how difficult it is to reach anyone from Palm.
Between my experience with this phone and my carrier TELUS MOBILITY (who don't know the meaning of service) and trying to reach someone from Palm I have been totally turned off on this palm product. Out of approx 10,000 Realtors in our Province I'm sure their are going to be many more with the same feelings.
Come on Palm step up and get this problem solved for us.

(1) I think HotSync is not going to not work with 64-bit Vista via USB any time soon. Are you sure your laptop does not have Bluetooth built in? It's a fairly common feature these days. If not, you can add it on. You might want to check with the manufacturer regarding compatible or internally-installed accessories.
(2) Beaming between a 650 and 755 should work, as far as I know. Can you beam to other Palm devices?
(3) If the speaker is broken, try to exchange your unit under warranty.
(4) Support Link for 755p specifically on Telus: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/nua/setDeviceProfile.asp?fn=treo&mn=755p&cn=telus

How to tell if Yosemite is clean install or upgrade from previous version

My brand new MacBook Pro arrived last week, with Yosemite already installed on it.
Having issues with WiFi (after coming out of sleep mode, mbp keeps its self-assigned address rather than getting an address though DHCP or using its old address), I was searching for support on the matter, and one of the solutions often suggested was doing a clean install of Yosemite if the mbp was upgraded from 10.9.
Seeing that the mbp arrived with Yosemite pre-installed, I'm guessing that it is a clean install, but I'm not sure.
I wonder if there is a way in telling if the OS was upgraded to the current major version, or if it's a clean install? Even if Apple only ships clean installs, it would be helpful to know if I need to give support to one of the mac-users in our company if it's a clean install or not.

On my system, the Yosemite upgrade (performed on Oct. 23) left quite a bit of residue that would not be present after a clean install. The most obvious examples are in /var/db/receipts, which contains BOM files for all of the software installed via the Mac OS installer, e.g.,
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel     98584 Oct 20 08:49 com.apple.pkg.update.lion.appstore.155-2.bom

Does upgrading from previous iPhone affect iPhone 6 Plus battery

I started with an iPhone 3G when it launched, then upgraded to an iPhone 4S shortly after it launched. Fast forward to present time, I recently upgraded to an iPhone 6 plus and am wondering does the legacy of data from the previous phones affect the newer phone's performance. The Usage/standby statistics are useless. They are always identicle no matter how long I lay the phone down. For example its telling me I've been using it for 4 hours and 8 minutes, and the Standby is also 4 hours and 8 minutes. If you total that up, its more time than I've even been awake for today so far. Secondly I haven't even used the device for 4 hours cumulatively let alone 1 hour. Restarting the phone, or restoring from back up doesn't seem to help.
When I use the phone first thing in the morning and unplug it I've seen a 10% drop at times when simply going on Instagram or flipboard for a 5 to 10 minutes.
Since getting the phone I have seen mild improvement in battery life over my 4S, but am not seeing the stellar battery life performance and this Phone is supposedly NEW, from the Apple Store I walked in and bought it from. Any thoughts, or suggestions? Is it the hardware? Does the battery need to be tested?
PS: At the end of me writing this post, Usage 4 hours, 27 minutes... Standby 4 Hours, 27 minutes. SMH

So for a day it seemed to work fine, but in the morning I picked up my 6 Plus unplugged it and noticed as time went by the problem of identical Usage and Standby was present. This time I only reset Network Settings the Usage and Standby were working properly again. Still trying to figure out what the culprit is. How common is this problem and is Apple aware of it and will truly do something about it?
It's not common, but it has happened occasionally for 7 1/2 years with every model iPhone and every version of iOS. It is an app problem, where an app misbehaves or gets stuck sending or attempting to send and failing. There are various tricks to "unstick" it, and resetting network settings sometimes works as it kills all data requests.

Firefox 4 stalls on instalation while upgrading from previous version

I've tried to upgrade to Firefox 4 from version 3.6.17 several times, but every time I try to install version 4 it stalls halfway through the installation procedure. I then have to reinstall version 3.6.17 again. I have disabled the add ons that were reported to be incompatable for the new version.

Thanks for the response. If it is, indeed, Apple Magic, then I would expect Time Machine to be aware of this and account for it. However, numerous people have reported that Time Machine sees this as a separate item to backup and it bloats the backup.
I'm just curious to understand how this works from a filesystem perspective.
Thanks again for reading and helping.

I lost all my photos from previous iPhone devices is there anyway I can get them back?

There is always a way to retrieve information and I will be happy to tell you how if you will tell where are we retrieving it from. Where are they?

About upgrade from previous version of Apex to a higher version-XE

Hi,
We are using Apex based on database 10g Xe, but we found that it is not easy to upgrade to a newer version of apex, becuase we have to install the full version at every realease of a new apex.
We cannot access Metalink to find the patchsets for upgrade, will you make it easier for upgrading the xe, like, put a upgrade file in the full realease?
Or enable downloading the upgrade patchset out of Metalink?
Is that possible?
Peter

Hi John & Arie,
Thanks for your kind answers, at currently we are not considered an upgrade, becuase our database is so small, and so little end users for my apex app, I am only running a very small, not much feature apex app, and only with cocurrent users 2, total users 5. We used the app almost one year, and if I expdp the schema I am using for work, it is only 4.5MB.
It is totally my personal stuff, I found it is very effiecient, becasue otherwise I have to do the samething with MS Excel, my small app, though humble, but much better than Excel.
I may consider an upgrade if I made a success step with Bill of Material and the warehouse management, in the future, currenlty I still don't have to gut/skill to do so, I am struggling with PL/SQL now, the basic stuff.
So, I think any upgrade will be too expensive for us, and I even dreamed the printing with BI, but that is just too expensive for my humble app.
yeah, though without access of Metalink, we can still find some very good workarounds, thanks to the apex/Oracle team, and guys/girls like you that offer kind of free services at this forum.
I just did the upgrade with the full installation, I drop everything and reloaded them after upgrading.
Took me around 1.5 hours to do so.
Cheers,
Peter

Hotsync Manager issues from previous palm program

Hi all. I thought I had deleted all my older palm desktop files before installing the desktop for my new TX. I can hotsynch in safe mode or by using the button on the USB cord. But, whenever I try to go through hotsynch manager nothing happens, it is as if it was never installed, just the icon. I tried reinstalling the software but with no luck. today i went into the program files to see if hotsynch exe was there. The only hotsynch I could find listed my older palm user name and a last synch date of 2007. I have tried to change the defaults but it won't let me without a password (which I don't have) and will not let me delete it. Any thoughts?
Post relates to: Palm TX

Are you looking in the correct location for the Hotsync'd files?
With the Palm TX and the newer Hotsync software, on a Windows machine, your Hotsync'd files are under your "My Documents" folder instead of the old "C:\Program Files\Palm\YourHotsyncID".
The path to the Hotsync'd data is something like this: C:\Documents and Settings\YourWindowsID\My Documents\Palm OS Desktop\YourHotsyncID

Upgrade from Palm V To T3 Tungsten

Can anyone tell me if it is at all possible to Upgrade from the Palm V to the Tungsten T3, and maintain both on windows XP with out any problems?... As I have incounted many, I recently installed the Palm Tungsten T3, and now the Palm V has lost many of its functions, included my contacts. Thanking any one that can help me with this problem.
Sincerly,

You cannot sync 2 dissimilar devices to the same username, it will cause the issues you are experiencing.
You need to have seperate usernames in Palm desktop for each device. Since you have lost data, you need to try and recover the data first. See the steps in the procedure listed below.
After the data recovery and the data is correct in Palm desktop, you need to export the data from the current username, create a new username for the T3, export the data from the current username and then import to the username for the T3.
Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding Upgrading from a previous Palm OS handheld.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=12926
You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. On Vista the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak.
The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=26674
Here is another link regarding data loss;
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=39503
The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.

Upgrade from Palm Vx

I want to upgrade from my Palm Vx without losing stored data on my computer, Windows XP. Any suggestions? Have been have problems with the Vx, and have to do a hard reset too often.
Post relates to: Palm Vx

1. Dottie, plug in your TX to the charging cable and let it charge for 3 hours. DO NOT connect it to your computer.
2. Install Palm Desktop from the CD. It won't erase your old data.
3. Follow Palm's Guide to Updating and rename your /Backup folder in your Palm directory. (How to Upgrade from a Previous Palm device to a Newer One: http://kb.palm.com/ and enter 12926 (General Upgrade guide).
4. The line about syncing with Outlook is an option presented to you. Do you sync your Vx to Microsoft Outlook? If not, this doesn't apply to you.
5. Connect your Hotsync cable to your computer and perform a Hotsync. Choose your old username when asked what User Account to use. (Be sure you've renamed your /Backup folder!)
6. All your PIM data should appear, but no third-party software or old Vx system files that could scramble the TX.
7. Enjoy!

Is it legal to own 2 Palm devices?

I know it sounds like a daft question from a dumb Brit but hold on a second.
I have just been reading up on the hoops you have to jump through re your computer to Palm device synchronisation in order to upgrade from your old device to a Lifedrive. But i don't want to discard my Palm TX. I want to keep it and use it alongside my Lifedrive.
Will I have to install another instance of the Palm desktop 6.2?
Will I need to install the second version of Palm desktop on a different computer?
Will the PC Police throw me in jail for daring to own 2 Palms?
But seriously, any ideas?

I have 12 devices synced to my one copy of Palm desktop. No arrivals of the HotSync Police yet!

Best way to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard and make a backup - help!

Hello, I have always found this discussion board the best place to go to get advice on my mac. I have an imac with Tiger OS. I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard - just bought the box set. I also have an external HD. I want to make a backup of my current system onto the hard drive in case of problems. How do I do this? Once I have done this, should I do an upgrade to SL or do a clean-install? Please advise - I have average tech abilities. Thank you!!!!!

I like KT's advice, and would add some words from a very knowledgeable mac person - John Gruber @ http://daringfireball.net/
I Believe in Murphy’s Law
Friday, 26 October 2007
Here’s how I recommend installing major new OS releases for typical users. (Atypical users would include anyone who ran developer seeds of the OS.)
First, make a complete backup of your current boot volume to an external FireWire drive using SuperDuper. (Carbon Copy Cloner would be my second choice.)
If you don’t back up daily — or at least very regularly — you’re foolish. If you don’t back up before upgrading your OS, you’re really foolish. I use SuperDuper’s “Smart Update” feature to clone my boot volume every night — the “smart” aspect is that it only changes the files that have changed since the previous backup. Before I install an upgrade, I quit every running app and run a fresh backup to create a snapshot of my boot volume. That way, if anything goes wrong, I can revert to exactly the state the system was in before installing the upgrade.
Next, boot from your external backup volume to make sure that it works. What you want to see is something that looks exactly like booting from your regular internal hard drive. Since I’ve been using SuperDuper, this has always been the case — I have never failed to successfully boot from my backup drive. Better safe than sorry, though, so I never skip this step.
Next, shut down the computer, and unplug the external backup volume. The odds of an OS installation corrupting a plugged-in FireWire volume are very small. The odds of an OS installation corrupting a FireWire volume that is not plugged in are zero.
Then boot from the installer DVD, follow the on-screen instructions, and perform a default upgrade. The default upgrade is the best choice for most users almost all the time. The reason Apple makes it the default and most obvious way to upgrade is that it’s the most convenient, and most tested upgrade path.
Update 28 Aug 2009: Starting with Snow Leopard, instead of booting from the DVD directly, you should instead pop in the installer DVD and launch the “Install Mac OS X” app on the disc. This will reboot your machine from the DVD, yes, but first it will download any necessary software updates that have come out since the disc was pressed. It’s a subtle but very nice improvement to the installer.
Arguments that there is something mysteriously dangerous or deficient about the default upgrade procedure — and that you should do a clean install instead, followed by tedious hours manually migrating software and data and preferences from your old installation — are voodoo. Apple’s installer engineers spend a ton of time making the default upgrade procedure as convenient as possible.
If you’re not a typical user; like, say, if you’ve been running pre-release developer seeds of Leopard, or if you’ve diddled with your 10.4 system software in unholy ways and really would like a factory-fresh start with 10.5, then I recommend the Archive and Install option. (That’s what I do, when upgrading from previous developer seeds.)
So, in short:
Do a complete backup clone to an external FireWire drive.
Test that the backup is indeed bootable and up to date.
Unplug the backup drive.
Pop in the installer DVD and launch the “Install Mac OS X” app.
If anything goes wrong in step 4, you have nothing to worry about, because you know that you have a complete, bootable backup.
Most people, of course, skip directly to step 4. And the odds are it’ll work out just fine for them. I say, why take a chance?

Upgrade from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3

We are currently running in production Oracle DBMS 11.2.0.1 on RHEL5.6. We have been looking at the CPUs (Critical Patch Update) for 11.2.0.1... but all we can find are CPUs for 11.2.0.2 or 3. This begs a few questions... 1) are there CPUs for 11.2.0.1? 2) if not, then how do we upgrade from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2 or 3?
What I have found thus far indicates that the 11.2.0.2 and 3 are not patches but require a complete install with separate Oracle Homes, etc... This is not what we want.
Has anyone upgraded to 11.2.0.3 from 11.2.0.1? If so, difficulty? Requirements? Steps? Docs? Does it really require a complete install and new Oracle home?

Any comments are appreciated.

Both Windows 2003 Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition are certified platforms for Oracle 10g Rel. 2.
I can see you are currently working with patchset 10.2.0.2.0. You didn't mention if you are planning to upgrade to 10.2.0.3.0 but if you are willing to do so, there are several issues reported by the oracle community, I have included verbatim transcripts from the referred sites, just to name a few:
http://www.pythian.com/blogs/356/oracle-10203-patchset-known-issues-and-bugs
Other platforms to watch out with 10.2.0.3 patchset are Windows and Linux 32 bit - Metalink Note 403616.1 “Many Child Cursors create in 10.2.0.3 on Windows and Linux”. This will likely affect applications with heavy usage of bind variables (perhaps, ones with cursor_sharing=force/similar as well) and busy OLTP is a good candidate. See for yourself the note I mentioned above - it describes some symptoms and consequences (latch contention, ORA-4031, ORA-600) pretty well. The good news is that Linux platform has one-off patch available already - patch 5705795.

Oracle 10.2.0.3 patchset is out
December 5th, 2006 - by Marc Fielding
My colleague Vamsi Chikkam noticed that the Oracle 10.2.0.3 patchset has been released for Linux and Windows 32-bit. The major bugfixes are the same as my original post with a few additions:
* Identical SQL run in different schemas may modify the wrong schema’s tables (bug 5458753)… we have run into this problem at a client site and it’s not pretty. Workarounds include qualifying schema names in SQL and one-off patches for 10.2.0.2. MetaLink note 329673.1 has more details.
* When cursors are being reloaded frequently in the shared pool, PLS-306/ORA-1722/ORA-1858 errors can occur (bug 4752541)
* Under Windows platforms, triggers referencing :NEW/:OLD using NCHAR/NVARCHAR character sets can error out (bug 5388136)

What is the CORRECT way to sync with Palm device?

Under Tiger, do you still need to open the iSync app before syncing with a Palm device? (mine is a Sony Clie SJ22).
I used to have to sync in this order:
1. open the iSync app
2. click "Sync Now" in .Mac Sync in the menu bar
3. press the Hotsync button on my Clie.
It worked.
But I just found this support doc:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302120
which says: "To sync your Palm OS device with iSync, press the HotSync button on the Palm cradle, cable, or the device itself. Both HotSync and iSync should open during the synchronization. Note: You must initiate the sync from the Palm device or the device will be skipped during the iSync sync."
I'm confused. I tried doing it this way and iSync does NOT open automatically when I press the Hotsync button--but the .Mac status in the Menu bar is turning to show it's syncing, and my ical items SEEM to be getting updated.
Can someone help clarify how this is supposed to work? Is this new in Tiger 10.4.4?

The correct way to synchronize a Palm device using iSync 2 or later is to first insure that all three options in the General section or your iSync Preferences… dialog are enabled:
√ Enable syncing on this computer
√ Show HotSync reminder when syncing Palm OS devices
√ Show status in menu bar
The each time your synchronize, you should launch iSync. [Or, alternatively, you should have it launched at login and hidden, so that it is running each time you press your HotSync button.]
The article is mistaken about the HotSync Manager needing to be launched prior to initiating a synchronization, as that task is accomplished whenever you press the HotSync button on your cable or cradle, or otherwise initiate a synchronization event.
It is true that you must initiate it from the Palm device, a cable or a cradle. Selecting Sync Now from beneath the Sync Status item in your menu bar will not launch the HotSync process, and your Palm device will be skipped.
These are substantial changes to iSync, which came with the release of iSync 2 and .Mac Sync under Mac OS X 10.4 about seven months ago, and they are a giant step backward for Palm users.
For that, and many other reasons - including the instability and lack of reliability with iSync 2 and later, I suggest that you take a look at the Missing Sync for Palm OS from Mark/Space:
http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php
It goes a long way toward addressing the long-term short comings of the iSync Palm Conduit by replacing it with three Mark/Space conduits - Contacts, Events and Tasks - and make synchronization of your Palm device a single-button process once again. It circumvents iSync and deactivates the iSync Palm Conduit and the HotSync Manager, eliminating three troublesome components that are a part of your current configuration. Your SONY Clié PEG-SJ22 is one of the many models supported by this package.

Internet Sharing: Palm Device can't find Internet via USB to Imac G5

None of the internet-using applications on my Palm Tungsten E handheld can find the internet, via a USB connection from the Palm to my Imac G5 and its high speed internet connection.
I have 3rd party software (The Missing Sync 5 from Mark/Space) that is supposed to enable a USB-connected Palm device to share an OS X Mac's internet connection. But I'm not getting beyond the Mac and I think either something on the Imac or perhaps my Linksys router is blocking internet communication to and from the Palm device.
Despite turning off the Mac's firewall and enabling internet sharing in the OS X prefs panes, neither my Palm's web browser nor its mail program can get through to the internet and all I get are communications errors.
I would greatly appreciate suggestions as to what to try next as I have done just about everything I can think of to try to get this Palm to access the internet via the Mac
IMAC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 750 Mb RAM

Hello Adrian - thank you for your suggestions. The USB-connected PALM does NOT show up in The Imac's "Network Ports" - - and the only thing I could add, as a port, that was not already there, was something called "6 to 4" -whatever that is.
The Palm is supposed to be able to get its internet page requests out onto my router and DSL line via the Mac's ethernet port when: A) this Palm is connected to the Mac via USB and B) when the Internet sharing feature is enabled in a software app called - The Missing Sync, which it is, and when C) Internet Sharing is turned on in the Mac 'Sharing' pref. All these conditions are true, but sadly none of the internet apps on the Palm can find the internet .
I suspect a DNS issue - even though my router of course knows the DNS addresses of my ISP.
I should think that the PALM and the host Mac would have the same IP address - namely the one assigned via DHCP by my router when the Mac boots up.
Very frustrating....
I know nothing about Palms but I'll give it a
shot...
You say "Despite turning off the Mac's firewall and
enabling internet sharing in the OS X prefs panes",
are you seeing a USB option in the window? If so
select it.
If not try going to System Preferences>Network>Show:
Network Port Configurations. (This with the Palm
plugged in via USB).
Is it in that window? If it is tick it and go back to
internet sharing and select it in that window. (It
should have now appeared).
If it's not in System Preferences>Network>Show:
Network Port Configurations; select 'New', and click
'Port'. Does it appear in the drop-down list there?
If it does, select it, name it and click OK. (Note:
USB isn't a 'normal' option here but maybe your
Missing Sync will have added it..?)
That will take you back to the main Network Port
Config window where you tick it if it isn't already.
Then go back to Sharing>Internet to see if is
available there. If is is, tick it.
If it isn't, don't know. Sorry.
Have fun!
Adrian
