Viewing Chinese characters in old Palm Desktop in Mac OS X 10.5.8?

Hello.
My client used his old Windows 2000 SP4 Dell PC for his Palm Treo 680 desktop, Hotsync (backups too), and Palm Desktop with English and Chinese data (characters with CJKOS -- http://www.dyts.com/en/products.html ). He finally switched to his 3+ years old
MacBook Pro with updated Mac OS X 10.5.8 since Palm finally released software for it compared a few years ago. However, Mac's Palm Desktop, iCal, Addressbooks, etc. do not show these Chinese characters.
Do you know how do we display Chinese characters in these program? Other programs like Office 2008, Firefox v3.6.25, etc. show and input Chinese characters just fine. I know we have to use TwinBridge CJK/Chinese Partner v6.0 in Windows 2000 SP4 to show them so I assume it is similiar for Mac OS X. TwinBridge doesn't seem to have a Mac OS X product port. Is there a similar program (free preferred)?
Thank you in advance.

Hi, no idea what Palm uses, but on Mac Apps might do a Get Info on them & see what Languages are checked...
The languages options were greyed out and could not add languages, so I had to log into the administrator-level account to add but Finder asked me where which I didn't know. I only saw the common/popular foreign languages (French, Spanish, and German) for Palm Desktop. No Chinese ones. I tried Apple's Address Books, and I saw Chinese and they were checked in non-administrator account. I guess that's not the problem.

Viewing Chinese Characters / Encoding setting in SQL Developer

Hi all,
I am new to SQL Developer 1.1. I have just downloaded the tool yesterday.
I have a table where there "should" be chinese characters in a NVARCHAR2 column. But I see only inverted question marks when displaying that data in SQL Developer.
I know from a ressource on the web, that SQL Developer is able to display chinese characters ( see http://awads.net/wp/2006/07/06/sql-developer-and-utf8/ ).
The NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET is set to AL16UTF16; the NLS_CHARACTER_SET is set to WE8ISO8859P1.
The encoding under Tools->Preferences->Environment is set to "Cp1252".
What is actually the influence of this Encoding setting and do I have to make changes to that to view the data?
In addition I have to admit, that we actually do not really know if the data entered the DB correctly, that is as chinese characters. Maybe there have occured conversion errors that were made in a application that writes the data into the database. Actually I want to verify that. So, if I have the right settings configured which should be fine to see chinese characters and then I see only inverted question marks I can conclude that the data actually entered the database corrupted and the error is not an display issue with SQL Developer but rather an error in the application that writes the data to the database.
Thanks to any answers in advance!

Any new info about being able to sync my iphone 4 with the Palm Desktop on macs running snow leopard?

Any new info about being able to sync my iphone 4 with the Palm Desktop on macs running snow leopard? Why doesn't someone take a a few hours and write a workaround so I can sync all my info including my Palm notes to my iphone via Palm Desktop without putting it in the clouds or making it complicated? : (

I feel your pain. I am a long time user of Palm Desktop/Claris Organizer and have an iPhone that I really can't sync except by doing an export and import into iCal, etc. You might try Missing Sync. I have been working intermittently with writing a replacement for Palm Desktop, but I've only gotten as far as dumping out the information for everything (except repeating appointments) as an XML file.

Troubleshooting Address Book issues using Palm Desktop for Mac (v. 4.2.1) and a T3?

Can someone please make suggestions which would correct the following issues?
1) When printing an Address Book from my Mac, the information in the "title" field prints twice. (I have checked my Preferences settings & reviewed how I have entered the information, etc. and everything is in order; also, an Address CARD DOES print correctly --- and --- after syncing to my T3 and then to my husband's PC, an Address Book prints correctly from the PC.)
2) After I have synced the Address Book from my Mac to my T3, the "zip code" entries appear BEFORE the "city" entries on the T3. (The zip codes appear correctly on my Mac and print out correctly.)
3) After I have synced the Address Book from my Mac to my T3, the "contacts" all appear in BLACK on my T3. Is there any way to show the different "contact categories" in COLOR on the T3 as they were originally entered in my Palm Desktop for Mac?

Month view off "Date" app on Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2

I have Windows XP (Home) with Palm Desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2.
I also have a Palm Z22 and a HP TouchPad.
My problem is with the Palm Desktop. In the "Date" application it will not display the Month view. There is no problem with the Day or Week view, but when I click on the Month view,
a screen pops up that says "Application has encountered a problem and needs to close".
It then says "Send report" or "Don't send".
After clicking on either of these, the Palm Desktop window closes.
I do not know where to retrieve the "Send Report" information if it has been sent.
Any help would be appreciated as the Month view is very helpful when planning future appointments or activities.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH....

How to import old Palm Desktop Software (sync with Treo 650) to New Computer ?

Running '07 version of Palm Desktop - Calendar/Contacts etc. on old computer. Copied data & files into folder and placed on desktop of new computer. Installed new version - Palm Desktop by Access onto new computer (Windows 7) & tried to import data from folder - no go. Still have old computer and could save to disk - but not sure how to go about procedure. Or, is there an older version of Palm Desktop available to download on new computer that will allow importing of data from folder? Help !! Thanks.
Post relates to: Treo 650 (Cingular)

The best way is to install the Palm desktop version you had with your device and hotsync. If your device is still working install the Palm desktop to your new computer and run a hotsync with the conduits set to handheld overwrites desktop. If your new computer is a 64 bit version of windows 7 read the post 64bit drivers are here. This post has the liink to the driver and install directions. Aceeca 64bit driver

View chinese characters on Nokia 6610

how can i upgrade the 6610 to view chinese characters

You need to have a Chinese language pack installed on your phone.
This is not something the end-user can install, it has to be done by a Nokia Care Point.
Note that the absence of Chinese language support on a phone not intended for sale on the Chinese market is not considered a fault in the phone and is therefore not covered by your warranty. There may be a charge for this. Also note that language packs don't usually survive a reset or a firmware update. In the event that your phone undergoes either, you may have to have the language pack re-installed.

Cannot get Palm Desktop in Mac to see data transferred from a PC

My wife has been using Palm PDAs for about 10 years, most recently a TX. Both this and her PC laptop have been stolen. She backs up to my FTP site from her laptop her MollyB directory (MollyB is her Palm user name) with everything below it. She urgently needs to get at her Palm data. I have FTP downloaded her data into my MacBook Pro (running OS-X 10.5.8) and have downloaded from the Palm website Palm Desktop 4.2.1 for Mac.
However, I cannot get the program to see the data.
How do I solve this?

Help with very slow old palm desktop 1.0 for MAC

No device
Hi- I am a happy user of Palm m515, and hot synch it to a very old Mac that runs palmpilot desktop 1.0 , cause I like the printouts. Recently, it would start to open the desktop, but it wouldn't open, I think due to out of memory. I purged calendar and todo from my handheld (which I had not done for years), and hot synced it. Address book & memos synced normally, and the syncing of todo's took hours, and I'm not sure it was successful. However, afterwords, I was able to re-open the desktop, and it works, but it is painfully slow, basically not functional.
I realize this is legacy stuff, but if there is anyone out there who has suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
And, I have an old iMac G5 that I am about to retire and buy a new iMac, and if anyone has suggestions for replacing the handheld with one that will run a good todo/task program (and recommendation for that one), also much appreciated.
And if there is a way for me to transfer the data from handheld m515 to my new iMac?
Thanks

I had an identical experience when I first got my handheld - the palm software wouldn't install on my iMac properly - the same error came up every time, and while it had successfully installed the desktop, hotsync manager was sadly missing. I spent hours playing with it to no avail, and the only solution I found was using it on my macbook running 10.5x (as opposed to 10.2.8). However, the date on the installer (2002) reflects the last time it was updated, which means that it should run with no difficulty on any machine since then. The .sit compression has nothing to do with it - it is one of the most common compression formats for the macintosh platform. It might help if you posted the exact error message you got, but a fairly common fix is to repair disk permissions for your hard drive in disk utility.
Hope this helps

Can I use my new Palm desktop software (Centro) to backup my old Treo 700p before syncing the Centro?

My computer crashed shortly before I upgraded to a new Centro. I need to backup the data on my 700p so I can transfer it to the Centro. Do I need to install the old Palm desktop first, or can I use the Centro software to back up the 700p?
Thanks
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

The Sprint version of the Centro still ships with Palm Desktop 4.2, which should be the same as you were previously using with your 700p.
My understanding is that only the AT&T and Verizon versions of the Centro (and probably the new Unlocked Centro) ship with the new Desktop 6.2 by Access.
As for the bonus applications, I have the AT&T Centro and all of the bonus apps were actually accessed via online download directly to the phone. And if I remember correctly, Documents To Go v.10 including the desktop application, was also done via download rather than being installed on the disc. Required entering the correct registration/activation codes. I guess they've gotten away from including this software directly on the installation disc.

Problem fetching Chinese Characters over DB Link

Hi,
I'm currently fetching data from SQL Server 2005 through a DB Link I created in my Oracle XE 11g. Some of these data are in Chinese Characters.
When doing a SELECT statement from the table using SQL Developer, it shows me ?????. When doing the same SELECT directly to the SQL Server using MS SQL Server Management Studio, it shows the correct character in Chinese.
Is there a setting so that I can properly fetch the data in my Oracle Database?

It appears that you have a data display problem & I am not convinced that it has anything to do with XE;
just SQL Developer.
When was the last time SQL Developer properly displayed Chinese characters?Hi,
I've never had any chance to view Chinese characters before in SQL Developer. This is my first attempt.
EDIT: I tried the following SELECT statement in SQL Developer and it seems to display the Chinese character just fine.
select unistr('\8349') from dual;So I'm guessing the problem was while I was trying to fetch the data from the SQL Server DB.The data is good in the SQLServer DB & SQL Developer can display when it gets them.
so problem is with the ODBC between the two systems.
