  • Just bought new Palm and not sure how to set it up best to sync

    I just bought a new Palm TX. The manual says to connect the sync cable to palm and to computer usb port and connect a/c adapter to palm and an outlet and charge for 3 hrs which I'm getting ready to do. Before I start setting up my whole system I to am trying to determine a couple of things first.
    Based on all forums I've read today, I want to use the missing sync with ical and address book rather than palm desktop. I also plan to sync using bluetooth rather than usb. (My goal plan is to use this set up to digitally implement kgtd - so the categories issue is key for me).
    Thus I wonder, is there any reason to insert the palm desktop software cd and/or install isync palm conduit. It seems missing sync 5.x replaces isync palm conduit and installation of the missing sync will remove the isync palm conduit anyway.
    Is there anything I will possibly miss with palm functionalities if I don't use that CD first and then switch to missing sync? Are there any pros or cons to loading isync palm conduit and Palm hotsync software and then switching almost immediately to missing synch with ical and address book. I guess what I'm wondering is, are there anything from the CD that I need or downloads or updates that I initially need to get that I can't get without new palm software installed initially rather than only having the missing sync installed.
    On the other hand, are there benefits in immediately installing missing sync and not bothering with mucking things up with the new isync palm conduit and palm hotsync being on my system.
    I seem to have isync 2.3 automatically from 10.4.8. I am afraid to, at least initially, upgrade to 10.4.9 given the many problems that seem to be reported from the upgrade regarding syncing and I have very little in ical or address book as of yet and an old palm desktop 4.2.1 that I haaven't used in over a year. I am not interested at this point in transfering anything from the old palm desktop (not so much there either and none of it current) although would be interested in (unless told it could cause other problems for me or be in any way suboptimal) keeping it as a sort of archive.
    Also, why do I need to connect the USB port while doing the initial charge if the plan is to use bluetooth? Any pros or cons in doing/ not doing this - both using bluetooth and connecting the USB cable during the initial charge?
    Any guidance on some or all of these things would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Great questions, and we'll attack them one at a time.
    Q: '…is there any reason to insert the Palm Desktop software CD and install the iSync Palm Conduit?'
    A: Actually, yes - there is. Mark/Space very strongly recommends that you perform one last synchronization event with the Address Book and iCal using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit prior to installing and configuring the Missing Sync. It is therefore necessary that you synchronize using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit at least once prior to your initial use of the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit require that the HotSync Manager and Transport Monitor—components of the Palm Desktop—be installed in order for iSync to launch, supervise and terminate a synchronization session with a Palm device.
    Q: '… are there benefits in immediately installing the Missing Sync and not bothering with… …the new iSync Palm Conduit and Palm HotSync…'
    A: No. It is critical that you overwrite the contents of your Palm device with data from the Address Book and iCal during the first synchronization event with the Missing Sync for Palm OS. Absolutely critical. Users who skip this required step always end up with synchronization problems later. In order to do that, you have to have first equalized the contents of the Address Book and iCal with the contents of your Palm device. Otherwise, you'll be overwriting the device with empty record sets. The easiest way to equalize them is to synchronize at least once using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit. Because the iSync Palm Conduit does not support categories, all field labels and extended attributes supported by both the Missing Sync for Palm OS and your device, you'll have some record cleanup tasks to perform as a result. But, don't skip that initial device overwrite requirement, or you'll put your data at serious risk and only spend much more time later on cleaning up the resulting mess.
    Q: 'I am afraid to, at least initially, upgrade to 10.4.9…'
    A: Don't be, though it makes little difference if you apply update before initiating the iSync synchronization, or afterward. You indicated that you have an old copy of Palm Desktop installed which you haven't used for more than a year. If that copy is not as recent as the once bundled on your CD-ROM, then install the CD-ROM copy. If they are the same version, or are different versions but neither are Palm Desktop 4.2.1 revision D, then download and install that package before configuring and using iSync. The package is available here:
    http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421revd.html
    If you aren't sure, then install this downloadable package, as it can only improve and not damage your currently installed Palm Desktop configuration.
    Q: '…why do I need to connect the USB port while doing the initial charge if the plan is to use Bluetooth?'
    You don't, although your device can obviously only charge with a USB-powered cable or cradle, or an AC adapter-powered cradle. I recommend that you initially configure it to synchronize via USB with both iSync and then with the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and then pair it using Bluetooth and synchronize using that pathway if you wish. Remember two things: while Bluetooth may be more convenient, USB moves substantially greater data in a shorter period of time—important during slow, initial synchronization events—and, the Missing Sync for Palm OS also supports network synchronization with your T|X, using it's WiFi capability. Initially using USB, later reconfiguring for Bluetooth and then for WiFi gives you literally one-button choices when using the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
    In summary, you ought to…
    • update the Palm Desktop suite to 4.2.1 revision D using the downloadable package
    • add your device to iSync via USB using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option under the iSync Devices menu
    • be sure to change the label of any contact address you want synchronized to <home>, as iSync ignores addresses not labeled that way
    • merge the data in the Address Book and iCal with your Palm Device
    • back up the Address Book data using the Back up Address Book… option in that application
    • back up your iCal data using the Back up Database… option in that application
    • install and configure the Missing Sync for Palm OS
    • set your three Mark/Space conduits initially to overwrite your handheld with data from your computer
    • synchronize initially via USB and include the TimeCopy conduit in this effort
    • follow the Bluetooth wizard instructions in the Missing Sync to pair your device and add the Bluetooth option
    • follow the network wizard instructions enable WiFi synchronization
    • create sets of conduits appropriate for your workflow, and associate them with an interface: USB, Bluetooth or network
    • correct your handheld data to reflect address data field label changes, calendar and contact categories, and so on
    • synchronize again via any chose interface to propagate the corrected data

  • Replaced the hard on my Macbook and not sure how to install the Mac OS X . i HAVE BOTH DISK

    Hello I am not sure what to do!!!  Ireplaced hard drive on my Macbook. When I put disk one in do I use Disk utility . Help

    You need to provide more information such as:
    What operating system was installed on the computer when it was new?
    Do you have OS X installation discs for the computer?
    Was Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed when the computer was new?
    What is the exact model you have?
    The process is generically:
    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
      1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
          the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
          is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the
          Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
          the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
          (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
          GUID  then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
          wait until the process has completed.
      4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
          drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
          window.
      5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
          Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
          return to the Erase window.
      6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
          hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
      1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
    Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume.  Click on the Restart button.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

  • Hi all, I'm new here and not sure how things work.

    I just wanted to know how do I install adope 10.1 on my iPad 4 for the use of ufilling. Your assistance will be appreciated. Thanks.

    fanamotaung,
    As of today (August 10, 2014), the latest version of Adobe Reader is 11.3.2, which runs only on iOS 7.  10.1.0 is the very first version of Adobe Reader for iOS released back in October 2011.  It is rather obsolete and does not provide the support for form filling.
    If the operating system of your iPad 4 is iOS 5 or 6, you will get a dialog like this when you try to install Adobe Reader from the App Store.
    You can tap the Download button to install an older version of Adobe Reader for iOS.
    However, we'd highly recommend updating your operating system to the latest iOS 7.1.2 and installing the latest version of Adobe Reader (unless you have a reason why you do not want to update iOS).
    Once you install Adobe Reader for iOS, you can launch it and tap Help in the Reader home screen to see the in-app Handbook (Help documentation),  It has a lot of useful information to get you started on Adobe Reader for iOS.
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.

    Before installing a new drive - it is generally better to install it in a external usb enclosure and connect it to your Macbook so you can format/erase the new drive and make an exact clone of the drive you wish to install, unless you plan on doing a clean install.

  • I accidentally created an identical email acct, how to I delete the newer one and not the old one?

    entally created an identical email acct, how to I delete the newer one and not the old one? And I'm receiving e's just from the new one.

    Move the "e's" (email messages?) to the old account first. You can drag and drop.
    To remove an account in Thunderbird:
    '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|&lt;select the unwanted account&gt;|'''
    Down at the bottom of the left-hand pane, '''Account Actions''' then '''Remove Account'''.
    Are both accounts using POP? That could explain why new messages appear in the new account but not the old.
    It could help to post your Thunderbird settings data: '''Help|Troubleshooting Information'''. Clear the "Include account names" checkbox. Click on "Copy text to clipboard", then paste (ctrl+v) into your next posting here.

  • TS3212 Having problems downloading. OS is LINEX and I'm not sure how to load itunes with it.

    Having problems downloading. OS is LINEX and I'm not sure how to load itunes with it.

    Agreed. No native linux support. The only ways you could run iTunes with a primary linux system would be to a) dual boot, b) virtualize Windows with VirtualBox, VMware, etc., or c) attempt to run iTunes in Wine (which doesn't usually work very well). Dual boot would give you the benefit of complete support and usage of hardware and software, but virtualizing is a bit more convenient, since you would not have to reboot your linux host.

  • Replacing Old characteristic with new ones in a Cube

    Hi,
    I have 3 Z InfoObjects for capturing time information like the month, year and week. The user is requesting for variables like current month, current year etc on these variables frequently. I have written customer exit for bringing the current week etc values on the Z InfoObjects.
    However, I want to avoid writing of the code in future and hence have created 3 more InfoObjects which reference to the standard time characteristics, i.e. the Z month InfoObject will refer 0CALMONTH etc. so that the standard variables of 0CALMONTH can be used for our Z InfoObjects also. Now I want to replace the old InfoObjects with these new InfoObjects(the ones referencing the standard time characteristics) in a InfoCube. My question is how do we get the historic data for these new InfoObjects as the Historic data is in the old Z InfoObjects. Any thoughts/suggestions would be helpful..
    thanks in advance.

    <i>Generated export Datasource of the InfoCube after adding the new 3 characteristics. Then in the Update Rules mapped only these 3 characteristics with the old characteristics and did a full upload.</i>
    You need to map the 3 old Characteristics to the 3 new ones, and you need to map all the other InfoObjects too.
    In the following I refer to the 3 old temporal Charactersitcs as T1, T2 and T3 - and to the 3 new temporal Chars as T1', T2' and T3'. The other (old) Chars are referred to as Cn, and the Key Figures as KFn:
    T1 --> T1'
    T2 --> T2'
    T3 --> T3'
    C4 --> C4
    C5 --> C5
    KF1 --> KF1
    KF2 --> KF2
    After the load you should delete the old requests to avoid data duplication.
    <i>I was expecting that the record will have the new characteristic and also the value in it after the load. But it is not happening.</i>
    I reckon you don't have any value because you haven't mapped the Key Figs (as well as severlal Characteristics) in the Update Rules.

  • Replace playing video with new one in osmf player

    Hi,
    I have a problem with loading new video in osmf player. First video is loaded from the emmbed code, and I use ProxyElement to comunicate with MediaLEment and to load my plugin. But after some actions in my plugin I need to load another video in the Player. By changing the DisplayedObject from the proxiedElement I am loading the new video but the old video from emmbed code is still runing on the back. Does anyone know how to remove mediaElement created by the player or to replace with new one, ot at least to disable that video from playing. I tried with everything and it doesn't work.
    Thanks

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.
