Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
It depends on the version of Vista you have (32-bit or 64-bit):
32-bit Vista: should sync with Hotsync cable using Palm Desktop 6.2 (Support & Downloads link above) along with free PalmHotsyncSetup utility from www.pimlicosoftware.com 
64-bit Vista: since there are no 64-bit drivers, your only hope is to sync with Infrared beaming using an IRDA adapter ("dongle") on your computer, along with the above software combination.
Good luck, let us know how you make out with it.

  • Palm III and Vista/Windows 7

    I have a Palm III that I still use.  Moving to a new computer with Vista (soon Windows 7).  Is there a way to sync the Palm III to Outlook 2007 Contacts running on Vista?  My understanding is that there is not a Palm Desktop for Vista that will work with the Palm III.

  • Palm M100 with Vista?

    Please can anyone provide information on syncing my beloved M100 Palm to a Vista machine? This was not my choice, the XP machine died.

    So long as your pc is running 32-bit Vista, you can use your m100 with it by downloading and installing the new (and free) PalmHotsyncSetup utility from www.pimlicosoftware.com along with the Palm Desktop 6.2.2 which is available for download here. 
    If your computer is running 64-bit Vista you are probably out of luck.

  • Using the IPOD with VISTA

    I have just purchased a new sony vaio, running vista. My older desktop is running xp. I had my IPOD and iTunes working just fine with this existing desktop. I just installed iTunes on the new laptop, and now want to use the iPod with this laptop. I attached it and attempted to sync, that the iPod is using an existing library, and wants to delete it and then use the new library. However, since the old library is on the old PC, it is not able to do this. It then says sync is complete, but none of my music is found on the new laptop. HELP.....

    When you connected the iPod to your new laptop with the empty iTunes did you press "Erase and Sync"? This syncing does not transfer content from the iPod to iTunes, it transfers from iTunes to the iPod. If you linked to an empty iTunes it will have erased the original contents of your iPod and with nothing to sync will have left it blank.
    Connect your iPod back to your desktop computer and it will sync the existing library back onto it again. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod
    Syncing Music to iPod
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Using MAC Keyboard with Vista

    I am using a dual OS, Mac & Vista. The Mac USB keyboard works occasionally with Vista. It may work for a few minutes then stop completely. I loaded the Bootcamp drivers with Vista as instructed. Is there and updated driver that will allow me to use the Mac Keyboard with Vista? Vista has no answers.

    Just to update anyone interested, I installed Vista and MCE separately without using BootCamp. Just like a regular PC. I did not know it was possible I found it by accidentally. After which I installed the drivers and am currently using the Mini as an HTPC. I don't have osx installed on it. everything works perfectly. no problems at all. I think BootCamp creates more problems.

  • Using Palm OS with Mac OS X

    Is it possible to run an older PalmOS 3.x device and a newer PalmOS 5.x device on the same Mac computer ?
    I have an old Handspring Visor Edge that runs on Palm OS 3.5x that I used to sync with my G4 Mac using Palm Desktop 4.0.
    I just bought a new Treo 650 that runs on Palm OS 5.x, that required that I upgrade my Palm Desktop application to 4.2.1, which is not compatible with my Visor.
    I want to give the Visor to my wife to be used on her Mac User account, but I'm unable to sync because it won't work with the Palm 4.2 application, and I can't install two different Palm OS applications in the Mac applications folder.
    So is it possible to run an older Palm device and a newer Palm device on the same Mac computer ?

    Each user has their own Applications folder. If you could get one of them to install there, that might do it. Or maybe manually move one of them there after installing it, before installing the other.

  • Can't add program with Install feature using Palm 6.2, Vista SP1 and LifeDrive

    Hi,
    I am trying to add FileZ to my Palm. I click Install from the sidebar of the desktop, then Add and point to the filez.prc file. However I get a message saying the file cannot be copied. The tool the installer is using to do this is the QuckInstall tool. Should I be using another tool? I've heard QuickInstall doesn't work with 6.2.
    Thanks,
    Monk66

    You are correct in what you heard, monk66 - Quick Install does not work in version 6.2.
    6.2 uses it's own "Installation Tool" to put files into the Hotsync queue.  You can find it in two places.
    1. Right click on the HotSync Manager icon and choose "Install".
    2. Start Button/All Programs/Palm/Install Tool.

    Another good tweak is to disable GUI boot this can be found by typing msconfig in the start panel search and in boot menu check the no gui boot and it will bypass gui for faster startup.
    Also by default your system will only start using one core, once again type msconfig and boot menu tab under advanced options check number of processors to use at startup.
    I notice you can commit memory on this tab as well, does anyone know if its reccomeneded or will cause instability?

    * One more i forgot for those of us that like to use the run command feature you can return to the menu like this.
    To make the 'run' command appear on the start menu:
    Right click the 'start' menu and choose 'properties.' Choose the 'start menu' tab.
    Click the 'customize' button.
    Scroll down until you find the option titled 'run command' and check it. Hit 'ok'.
    Also, the text field at the bottom of the start menu with ghost italiacs saying 'Start Search' is essentially the same as the Run command windows, but you will need the ACTUAL 'Run' command window for a few things.  I guess I am just trying to let peaople who dont already know, you CAN type cmd in the "Start Search' text field and get a command prompt window.  There's my Cliff Clavin for the week!!!

  • Use Sync Manager with Vista Search Fold

    Hi,
    I've setup a custom search in Vista based on MP3 tags and I'm trying to setup the Creative Sync Manager to sync with files that are indexed by this search, Sync manager lets me select the search folder as a sync option but then doesnt find any files to sync with.
    Anyone tried or have any success with this, or know of any software that might do the trick?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nick

    If the sync process hangs on a PIM category, it usually means there is data corruption.
    There may be database corruption causing the issue. 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.

    There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.
    To avoid any problems with Palm desktop, make sure you are using the same version of Palm desktop on both PC's.

  • Using Palm IIIc with OS 10.4.5 on Powerbook

    Hi,
    I just purchased a Palm IIIc on eBay but am now realizing that it may have been a mistake.
    All I want to be able to do is run a couple of games (i.e. Sudoku) on it and keep my appointments organized.
    I have a 15" AL Powerbook and will be using a Palm hotsync cradle with a serial to USB adapter.
    Will this work ?

    Hi KMoorehouse,
    Well, I still have my Palm IIIx kicking around but I've never actually connected it to my PowerBook. First, you'll need something like this to change over the serial to USB. I'm not sure which version of Palm desktop software you're using (3.something or maybe 4.0). There are some known issues with version 4.0 which Palm has posted on their site here. I guess the only thing to do at this point is install the software, connect the IIIc (after you get a serial to USB adaptor) and try it out. Good luck.

  • Problems with using Laserjet 1320 with Vista 64 bit

    I have downloaded drivers for the PCL 5, PCL 6 and the PostScript for the Laserjet 1320. I can not get the toolbox, I can't print multi copies, or turn the paper to landscape. Basically I can't do anything except to point and print and not make any changes in the printing box before printing. It was only after downloading the postscript that I can now print selected items, but wondering if that will still work once I turn off my computer and restart it.
    How can I get my printer to work with Word 97 and Vista 64-bit?  I can't use the printer disk to install it onto Vista 64-bit because my printer is a usb  plug- in  (hope I got the usb right or is it ubs???) sorry I'm flustered!
    Should I also install the universal drivers? one of them -- all of them???
    Please Help!
    At wits end in Maine!

    I'm afraid that both you--and me--are out of luck!  Yesterday I emailed HP tech support asking for a version of the Toolbox that would work under Vista and was told, in effect, "Sorry, Charlie, but the 1320 series is not a current model so we don't support it anymore."  (Unfortunately, they NEVER properly supported it, since I was asking for a Vista version of the Toolbox since April, 2007.)
    HP customer support has deteriorated markedly since Carly Fiorina began to destroy the company several years ago! 

  • Using Time Capsule with  Vista 64bit Sony Vaio laptop

    Thinking about upgrading my router as well as having a large storage capacity for my photos, videos and music I bought a 2 TB Time capsule.
    It is working extremely well as a highspeed router but I don't know how to send files from my laptop to the Time Capsule...
    Is it possible to sync Apple TV with Time Capsule ?
    Is it possible to use Time Capsule to back up, store files from Vista based computer ?
    Is it possible to synchronize my iTunes library on my Time Capsule ?

    See my response to a similar issue - not sure if it applies 100% to your situation...

  • PC60G WLAN card, cannot use MSI utility with Vista

    I think I accidentally installed Windows Vista's own drivers, and now the MSI Configuration Utility cannot find the wireless access point.
    Steps to repeat:
    Launch the utility from the notification area
    Select the Site Survey tab
    After a few seconds the status shows "Disconnected"
    After a few more seconds the Rescan button is enabled
    No network device is in the table
    I have done System Restore to the point before I installed anyting. The Windows wizard detected new hardware again (I cancelled it).
    I have installed the latest MSI drivers for Vista 32 bit, 2.0.3.0.
    Still the MSI utility cannot connect.
    Win XP has a check box to disable Windows from managing the wireless connection, but I have been unable to find this function in Vista. Does anybody know where it is?
    I am able to connect to the access point using Vista's built-in support.
    Is it worth the trouble to try to disable Windows' management? Are there features in the MSI utility that I am missing out on? If not, can I uninstall the MSI utility (to get rid of the notification icon) without compromising the network card?

    Well i'm using the same card under vista .. and the MSI utility isnt working for me either... but my advice .. vista's utility is better .. no need to use msi's one ... and if you want to disable it .. as i know .. in the installing CD .. when you install the driver you have 2 options to choose.... Performance .. or WiFi (as i remember) choose performance.
