UPGRADING TO PALM TX QUESTIONS

My company currentely uses serveral old Palms SPT1800 Palm OS v4.1 we use them for our company shows that we have through out the Country to scan our item barcodes and take orders and have them printed out so our customers have a copy of there order. We would like to upgrade to something faster like the Palm TX. With these old Palms we use the Infrared Reader on our printers HP 4050's. We use a third party software called ALO. My question is this will it process much faster, does it come equipted with the BarCode scanner and do we need to purchase newer printers with bluetooth technology?
Thanks
Ed

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
I'll be glad to answer your questions for you. The Palm TX does support Infared (IR) technology. I don't think it will be much faster or anything seeing how IR is a slow method of transferring data or connected devices. It may be a more updated version of IR but I don't think it will be that much faster. This kind of answers another question you had; you won't have to upgrade to bluetooth printers. If you do however, the TX does support Bluetooth and Bluetooth is faster than IR.
The Palm TX unfortunately does not have a barcode scanner on them. You can probably purchase a 3rd party add on for it but this cannot be supported by Palm. If you have any questions about bar code scanners for Palm devices you will want to seek 3rd party assistance.
I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. The Palm TX is a great device by the way, I'm sure you guys would love it.

Your MBP should have been given to you with the original installation disks and OS. The Lion OS is licensed to the person who sold it to you. You will have create your own account and purchase Lion if you wish to use it. Those are the stipulations in the licensing agreements.

Upgrading to Palm 6.2 desk Top

Sorry to give that impression. I had them all at different times. I got the Zire mostly to keep track of contacts and get rid of all the post its on my desk, and kept upgrading from there. The exandable memory slot was awesome because I used it mainly as a ereader. The 72 was for the camera and the TX for the wi-fi. So I have had a Palm for about 15 years. Looks like bad timing on my part as I got the 64 bit OS PC about the same time as the transition of Palm to HP so I did not keep up with the news. Dealing with Palm was frustrating because I had spent hundreds of dollars for software from them that they no longer had any record of. AppGear, which apparently handled the transition couldn't help because it had been over a year and they no longer maintained the record.
I Googled Palm a few days ago and found Brighthand, which in turn got me here. I now have an aceeca driver fpr the Palm Desktop and according to the hotsync manager, it successfully synced. So is the next step to establish an account with HP? I should already have one as I have had a couple HP laptops. Where do people buy Palm software these days since there really is no Palm store?

OS upgrade to Palm Tungsten E2

My Palm Tungsten E2 runs OS v 4.5.2p.
Is it upgradable?
Thanks for helping.

Actually, your E2 is running PalmOS Garnet version 5.4.
You are viewing a different section of the device, probably some application version.

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!

Lost items when upgraded to Palm Desktop 6.2.2

Hi,
Have just purchased a Palm Pre, unlocked, a beauty. Wanted to move my Palm Desktop items to the PRE. Upon upgrading my old, old Desktop 4.0.4 to Desktop 6.2.2 I have lost ALL contacts, calendar events etc. The datebook.dat file is there, but since my old Palm Treo broke down completetly (Palm could not repair it) I could not synch upon installing the new software.
The question is: how can I move my items from the address.dat, dateboook.dat etc to the new version of Desktop.
Thanx muchly for all good advice!
janko
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You cannot use those data files in 6.2.
6.2 has a different file format than previous versions and willnot recognize those files.
What I would suggest is to copy your username folder in c-program files-palm.
Paste that folder on the Windows desktop. Remove Palm desktop 6.2 using control panel-add/remove programs. Re-install Palm desktop that you previously had installed. Paste the username folder back into the palm folder on the c drive. Open palm desktop and see if your data is there.
If it is, export your data for backup. Here is a procedure for this.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate 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://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
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.
After you have your data backed-up, install Palm desktop 6.2 and if the data does not migrate to 6.2, use the import function in Palm desktop.

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,
Charismaaf
Post relates to: Tungsten T3

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.

Sold my 3G, Upgraded to 4 - SIM Questions

I posted this in the 3g section, but realized it probably belongs here. Sorry for the double post...
Ok, I know it's a good idea to remove the sim card but hear me out.
I just upgraded to the iphone 4 and sold my iphone 3g on ebay. The auction has already ended. I made a typo and said that the SIM card was included when I meant to say it wasn't.
So, my question is... does it really matter? I've wiped the data from the phone, restored the phone as new, and wiped again for good measure. My phone number is active on the new micro-SIM in the iphone 4.
Is there any security/privacy issue with shipping the old sim card to the buyer? I've contacted them to let them know, but if it's a moot point I'd rather just ship it than risk the negative feedback.
Any help is appreciated.

The SIM Card does not store any information unless it's a normal phone to iPhone. If you don't have a SIM Card with the old phone, they can get a SIM Card with their contract. They can also pull out the old SIM Card and put a new one in as long as it's a 3G SIM.
After deactivating the old i3G, the SIM Card becomes useless.

9i to 10g (10.2.0.4) Upgrade... some questions

Hello,
I am currently analysing the upgrade requirements for my organisation to upgrade our Backend databases from 9i to 10g (release 10.2.0.4).
We are currently using a COTS application to interface the database. There are a number of things i am unsure of in regards to the prequisites etc that need to be completed.
Oracle is running on the HP-UX Operating system, our DBA's are quite happy with the upgrade process so not many issues here.
The questions i have are mainly from a Windows server interfacing point of view.
What versions of ODBC drivers are needed to talk to 10g?
Does the current version of SQL*Plus (8.0.5.0.0) need to be upgraded?
Do the version of Oracle Reporting still work? (9.0.2.3.0)?
Are there any deprecated SQL statements or such like that will be need to be checked for in current scripts / sql?
Is there anything else i need to be aware of during the upgrade?
Rgds,
Andy Paton
COTS Functional Analyst

Hi Andy,
10.2.0.4 is the latest release from Oracle. you can get more information from Metalink or oracle.com
On Metalink you can fin 10g Database Upgrade Companion for answers to most of your questions
Hope that helps
Regards,
Z.K.

IM3 upgrade to IM6 Amatuer Question...Does IM create HD by default?

Sorry if this seems a like a bit of a simple question. I have recently upgraded to IM6 from IM 3.0.3.
I'm just wondering if IM6 "HD" means that the projects I create and burn are High Definition by default?
Thanks for any and all advice.
Adam

And just FYI: Currently the only way to "burn" HD content is with DVD Studio Pro. You can export H.264 which is an HD compliant standard.

10.4.3 upgrade & archive install = flashing question mark

I upgraded to 10.4.3 reboot, flashing question mark appears.
Tried everything, PRAM zap, NVRAM reset, pull battery for a day and unplug. Reset PMU.
Tried combo update. Same flashing question mark. Boot from 10.4 DVD repair permissions all the time, repair disk, all is ok. Startup Disk selection to hard drive, see os x, reboot, flashing question mark again.
Reboot + Option, pulls up view, no startup disk shows, except for 10.4 dvd.
Target disk mode startup from another mac, boots up, run startup disk, shows the hard drive, select as startup, reboot, still flashing question mark.
Re-install os 10.4 - install 10.4.2 upgrade, still flashing question mark.
Have a Dual 1.2 G4 gig ethernet, 2gb ram, pulled out all but one ram chip tested booting with every different kind of ram configuration. Still flashing question mark.
QUESTION: Has anyone been able to fix this issue? I see it all over and nothing that really solves it?

i dont have a solution... but what you might want to do is reinstall 10.4.. upgrade to 10.4.2, reinstall everything you need and run yasu or cocktail..
then with carbon copy cloner.. make a backup of your system to another hard drive..
that way when 10.4.4 comes out... you can upgrade with out worrying if something bad happens.. hopefully by then theyll have everything worked out.

Upgrading to 10.4 Questions:

Hi,
Upgrading to 10.4
I have some questions about upgrading to Tiger 10.4
This is my System, etc:
I have a Power Mac G4 MDD Dual Boot 1.25 (SP) Model M9145LL/A. Running Panther 10.3.9 - 7W98 - Darwin 7.9.0
2 New Internal SATA H.D.'s, and 2 GB's of Ram.
A few months ago I added a Seritek 1S2 SATA Card and 2 WD SATA H.D.'s. I took the original 80 GB drive out and put it in a Firewire 400 OWC case, that has my OS and all my files on it, and it's bootable. I cloned it to my new Boot Drive a 640 GB WD with 2 partitions. One for OS and Programs and second partition for my files. My second new drive a 320 GB WD has 2 partitions, first one for Photoshop CS2 Scratch, and second partition for Video Scratch, for Popcorn, etc. I used Super Duper to clone. I got a lot of Great Advise on how to do this on the Apple Discussions Forum at the time I did this!
I'm now running Panther 10.3.9 and very occasionally boot into 9.2.2
My Original System came with Jaguar 10.2.7 then Upgraded to Panther 10.3
Then did the updates to 10.3.9
I want to upgrade my OS to be able to get the newer versions of Safari and Firefox and heard that Tiger runs CS2 better and is a more stable OS overall. Eventually want to do the updates to 10.4.11 which I hear is the best thing to do.
MY QUESTIONS:
Part 1:
I want to Upgrade to 10.4 Tiger. I currently have a Dual Boot System running 10.3.9 and 9.2.2
I would like to install a "Fresh" OS of Tiger "Only" as my new OS. Can I do this by using the "Archive and Install" Option?
Would Using This Option give me a Tiger Only new OS, omitting OS 9? And can I do this with a Upgrade or do I need a Full Version of Tiger?
To be able to Keep my Internet and Mail and other System Prefs the way they are now without having to reconfigure them, would choosing "Preserve User and Network Settings", take care of this?
Also, before doing all of this, should I use Disk Utility to Verify and Repair the volume? If so, do I use Disk Utility from the New Tiger Upgrade DVD or do I have to use the Disk Utility that came with my Panther 10.3 Upgrade C.D.'s?
What would be the Steps to do this?
Part 2:
(I know I have to find a Machine Specific Black DVD-ROM of Tiger 10.4) Will I have to Register this Upgrade? Will it have a New Serial Number or Not? Because I know it's hard to find these, if I found a person who has the right DVD for my machine at a good price, I was wondering if this Upgrade needed to be Registered or not to be able to use it, and get the Updates etc?? Or do I have to buy a Brand New Retail Version if I can find one, from an online store? Do you know of any online stores that have a Tiger Upgrade?
Part 3:
Will I also have to Upgrade my Norton Antivirus to a Newer Version for Tiger? I have version 9.0.4 now. What version do I need for Tiger?
I would Really Appreciate some answers to my questions and any other advice on doing this Upgrade Right.
Thank You.

Hi...I finally found an Upgrade for Tiger at AllMac.com
http://www.allmac.com/shop/productinfo.php?cPath=5_10003&productsid=6911
The one I got also, included an extra CD with Updaters to OS 10.4.11 along with Java and Security .dmg files.
After loading it all in and updating the OS to 10.4.11, I used Apple Software Update to download the Latest Java and Security updates. Also, got the Latest versions of Safari and Firefox.
All seems to be running OK. And didn't have any problems with Photoshop CS2 activation or running. Didn't have any problems with the latest Security Updates, as well.
Thank you.

Upgrading kt4v mobo, some questions

hi,
recently I bought a Kt4v mobo, but I still use an amd 1.2 ghz duron as processor, therefore my mobo is set to 100fsb atm with is bad ;(
I'm thinking about upgrading to an AMD athlon but I have some questions.
I'd like to get my FSB at 166, I'm currently using 2 256mb DDR ram sticks with a speed of 333mhz, is that possible?
(well, actualy one is 400mhz, but as this mobo only supports one stick of ddr400, it's set to 333)
what is the fastest Processor my mobo can handle with that kind of ram?
and should I change other speeds when installing it like my AGP bus speed etc.. to prevent them beiing damaged after upping the fsb?
that's all, If someone could answer these I'd be very gratefull, thx
oh yeah, specs:
AMD duron 1.2 ghz 200fsb
KTV4 MSI mobo
Point of view Geforce 4 TI 4280 128mb
512 MB DDR 333mhz
Maxtor 80 gig 7200rpm
samsung 20 gig 5400rpm
Logitech mx 700 mouse
wondows XP Pro
3com nic etc etc etc

Quote
or is it set automatically?
Yepp!
Quote
are Athlon Xp's unlocked by default...should set the multiplier like this then: 12.5 X 166= 2158 mhz
Just let the board handle it, all bios-settings on AUTO.
Quote
250 watt which might be on the low side
I think the board wouldn't even boot... :D
Psu should have more then 25A/3.3V, 35A/5V and 200W combined power.

Sold 4GB iphone upgrading to 8GB Some questions?

Sold 4GB iphone upgrading to 8GB and was wondering what troubles if any i might run into?
Once i recieve the 8gb model can i just switch sim cards? that way my 8gb will have evrything my 4gb had on it and the person i am selling it too will have a sim card that hasn't been activated ?
Anyone know of any problems i might have? maybe having to restart my 2 year contract with at&t for some reason?
Any help would be great
Thanks

Good question.
I believe that your SIM card should be interchangeable between your old 4GB iPhone and your new 8GB iPhone. Of course, if you take your SIM out of the old 4G what will the buyer of your 4G use for a SIM card to get started - are you planning to give him the non-registered SIM from the 8G that you get?
If not, how do you expect him to get a SIM card unless you expect him to have to buy one from AT&T?
I think that if the old SIM works, there should be no need to restart your two (2) year contract but first the old SIM needs to work.
Let us know what happens.
