Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. Palm desktop is not compatable with Vista 64bit. Reason being there are no usb drivers allowing the palm device to communicate with windows. There is a possible work around using bluetooth to sync. Check the Windows Hotsync forum and you'll see the thread with step-by-step directions. Sorry for the inconvience.

It has the error range of 3000's which states
Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

If I back up my iOS devices on my iMac in the US, then do a time machine backup to an external HD, will I be able to plug the external HD into a brand new iMac in the UK and restore the new machine as per the old one, and restore my iOS devices?

Moving playlists and podcast to new machine

How can I move all of my iTunes playlists and podcasts to my new machine? is there any way of keeping all of the settings the same? thank you.

Found that Apple's _Mac OS X Advanced System Administration v10.5_ book says that cloning works to migrate between machines. Boot from install DVD after cloning and run disc's upgrade. PPC to Intel requires special consideration - recommended to archive old, demote to stand alone, promote, and finally restore from archive.
If anyone has any experience with this, please report how it worked for you.

Problems with win vista and an AX to AX extended network

Hi, I'm wondering if someone can help me out with a problem I'm having. I have a house with several floors and had patchy coverage from the Airport Express unit serving as a base station, at least down in the basement where my desktop is located. I decided to put a 2nd Airport Express unit halfway between, and choose to extend the network (using the Extend a Wireless Network option from the dropdown box, rather than WDS). For some reason, my pc won't connect properly to the 2nd AX, I get an IP address assigned, but can't ping anything. When I check the log, I see these entries for the mac address of the desktop:
Apr 25 14:18:18 5 Associated with station 00:1c:10:e4:05:7c
Apr 25 14:18:22 5 Deauthenticating with station 00:1c:10:e4:05:7c (reserved 2).
Apr 25 14:18:22 5 Disassociated with station 00:1c:10:e4:05:7c
Curiously, I have a laptop that works just fine, and I can confirm that it's connected to the extending station using the AirPort utility by seeing the wireless clients attached.
On several occasions I have managed to get the desktop to the base upstairs (in spite of the patchy reception) and reception permitting, it works ok. Very strange!
Other info:
my setup is adsl+ > thomson modem/router (from the isp, O2) > airport express base station (via ethernet cable) > airport express extending station
the desktop uses a linksys wireless g pci adapter, latest driver downloaded
the laptop is a sony vaio running vista business, the desktop vista ultimate
I am using WPA/WPA2 PERSONAL with AES encryption.
I have an integrated modem / router from my ISP that acts as a dhcp server and is connected to the AX base station via an ethernet cable.
My iphone also connects to the AX extending station
The AX base station is broadcasting 802.11n (b/g compatible mode)
Am I stretching the windows compatibility with this setup?

Sounds like it should work to me. I run the following for a network: AExt Dual Band on 2.4 & % Ghz, AExp as extender on 2.4 Ghz, AExp on 5 Ghz as extender, an HP Notebook with Vista 32 connects on 2.4 Ghz, Older IBM Notebook runs XP connects on 2.4 GHz, a new DELL Intel Quad running Vista 64 connects on 5 Ghz. It all works without problems.
I did have some connecting issues when I was using Norton 360 release 2.something. I upgraded to version 3, free with active subscription, and all issues have seemed to go away. Release 3 seems to be much more Apple aware.
Would encourage you to call Apple Support. When I called, I found them to be pretty knowledgeable and they actually speak US English as their native language.
Another tip, if you go to "Network & Sharing Center", you can see signal strength. I found this useful to tell where a particular system was connecting.
Hope this helps, Good Luck!

Adobe CC Apps backup and install to new machine

Hi all,
So I have downloaded installed most of the Adobe CC apps on my work machne. I now want to install some of those programs on my home machine.
Is there any way I could 'back up' the programs I have on the work machine and simply copy them to the home machine or is re-downloading everything unavoidable?
I have gone to the CC website and tried individual downloads but that doesnt work since it requires the CC manager to handle the download....so when you click on 'download', the manager detects that I already have the app so it basically does nothing. It doesnt even ask if I want to save the file in a different location.
Please help,
Thanks

Hi NovakMiler,
Please try the direct download: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html .
Kindly follow the very important instructions before download.
Once downloaded copy the apps on a external disk and install it to your work machine. Please remember that you require ongoing internet connection in order to activate the software.
Regards,
Romit Sinha

Jumpstart and zfs on new machine

Hello
I have been told to install solaris via jumpstart and use zfs.
I guess the solaris installer will ask me and then i can choose zfs, so this shouldnt be an issue. However
Do i still need to set up mirroring using metadb, metaattch etc? as I tought i saw somewhere that there are different commands for mirroring zfs?
Also, if this is a new install of solaris, can i use jumpstart at all yet? Since i would need to be able to get to the OK> prompt to be able to run jumpstart? (and there is no os installed yet, after i exit ilom it goes into a solaris installer).
Can anybody quickly tell me what i need to do to get jumpostart working quickly on this new box? we have a jumpstart server which i have inherited but not sure how i set the clients up. Is it just a case of adding config to the ethers file and thats it?
Thanks
Thanks

ZFS integrates its own volume management and you can easily construct stripe, mirrored, raidz (raid5), raidz2 (=raid 6) zpool.
For exemple to add a disk mirror to your rpool pool, you just have to do a "zpool add rpool c0t0d0s0 c0t1d0s0"
A "man zpool" should give you more information.

ThanksFrom your client, you have to boot from the network "boot - net" but before you will have to create a new profile in your jumpstart server, but I could not say you in details how to do this. Surely you might be able to find lot of information in docs.sun.com about this or perhaps somebody else could give more information.

Volume changes on playback in iTunes - with Vista and a brand new computer

When I playback any song, the volume slowly goes down. I have to manually turn up the volume, and then constantly adjust it up and down. How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Definitely a Windows Vista issue unless it's iTunes specific ...
Try playing a song in another program in Windows and see if the problem repeats itself. If it does, it's unrelated to iTunes completely and is a Windows issue. If it doesn't repeat itself, try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.

Separate Palm desktop installs for Palm M505 and its apps and Palm Treo 680 and its apps on same Windows XP computer?

Hello:
I'm trying to do a workaround. I've got a Palm M505 that has a terrific keyboard that hooks up to it. This lets me write documents in a very portable way. The Treo 680 never had the equivalent, really full-sized external keyboard made compatible with it. So, I want to create documents on the M505 but otherwise mostly use the Treo 680.
Here's the rub. When I tried to sync both devices to my Palm Desktop version 4.1.2 for Windows XP, it didn't work. Hotsync tries to synchronize apps that won't work on the M505. Also, the versions of Documents to Go are very different (5.x versus 8.x).
I would love to have a separate Palm Desktop installation for each device, so I can have a nice desktop environment for each by launching them separately. But, the Palm Desktop installation "wizard" shuts down and won't give me the opportunity to do a separate Desktop install.
Any ideas other than buying an ultra-small laptop and dropping this kludgy scheme? For instance, if I were to copy the installed files from one directory to another, would this work, or would it not be set up in the Registry?
Thanks!

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Okay. Stubbornness pays off! I was able to beam documents between my Palm M505 and Treo 680, avoiding the need for complicated syncing of both Palms to my laptop machine. I was also able to beam documents from both Palms to my Dell Inspiron M300 laptop, running Windows XP Pro.
When beaming between Palm devices, the results were better. In the M505, Documents to Go version 5.004 doesn't translate documents into Microsoft Word format but into something it calls Word to Go. The Treo has DTG version 8.003, which is able to read files in Word to Go format and save in native Microsoft Word for Windows format.
However, even when beaming a Word to Go (old format) document directly onto the Desktop of my Windows XP machine, it gave me a document I could open, with the text I'd input following a bunch of characters Word obviously didn't understand. If I add the file from my desktop to the newer Documents to Go version on my laptop, I expect it will translate it into a Word file when it syncs to the Treo but haven't tested that. In either case, beaming between Palm devices is the easiest solution and completely solves the problem.
For any readers who are interested, the reason I've so stubbornly tried to solve this problem is that I'm a fast touch typist. My old Palm M505 plugs directly into a wonderful, old Palm Portable Keyboard that is full-sized. Because it's a hard-wired connection, I can type fast. That old keyboard compresses into the same folded footprint as some new foldover external keyboards. It does this even though much bigger by folding in an accordian-like fashion, with four flat surfaces folder together. That keyboard design now exists in some of the keyboards sold by IGo corporation (their old name for it was Sierra Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard). But, they were unable to figure out how to handshake their Bluetooth with the odd Bluetooth configuation in the Treo 680. Why Palm made the Bluetooth library different in the Treo 680 from other Treos is a mystery to me, but enough of this tangent. Some interested in this workaround may be curious for similar reasons.

Treo 680 on Vista - Sync trouble when changing from Beta to new system! Help!

I have had my Treo 680 for about a year now. When I got it I found that the wonderful people at Palm never configured it to ruhn on Vista which had already been around for about 2 years at the time. Consequently, I never could use all the features ( certain media, etc.) because I had to run the Beta system. Additionally, the people at Palm told me when I called last year that the error messages I get after syncing were just something I'd have to get used to.
Fast forward to today. I go to the Palm site and I see that Beta has been replaced by a system that works with Vista. As I write this right now, I am in the process of syncing and it is stuck on " sycronizing Date Book". I have already tried reinstalling the new Vista version and re syncing again. What should I do to get this thing to work. For five cents, I'd go buy a new G phone from T Mobile and just switch over via importing data to Outlook which I currently don't use and the be done with Palm, ... but I can't even do that because I can't sync the Palm unit anymore with my PC!!! Any help is appreciated.

DbFixIt is a database scan and repair program that can be found by doing a google seach and clicking on the first result that appears. It's made by Pimlico and after you down load the trial. You'll need to install it to the device. Unzip it and then double click the .prc file. You should get a message that it will be install during the next sync. Then you need to disable the Calendar conduit. Right click the hotsync icon just the the left of your computer clock. Goto settings, the Applications. Locate Datebook or Calendar (Or both) And uncheck them.
Then try to sync. This will install the program on the device if the sync completes. Locate the program on the 680 and open it. Once it opens click the top left hand corner and select Delete Calendar blobs. Once that's done you can run the Easy scan, it should tell you what calendar events are 'bad'. Then you can fix them manually. If you want to program to fix them automatically then you'll need to buy it.

I use i-tunes on Windows network using Windows 7, Vista, and XP. I now get an error on the XP machine the library was created on a newer version of I tunes, yet apple update on that machine say all up to date.

I use i-tunes on a Windows Network with pc's using Windows 7, Vista, and XP. After recent Apple updates the XP machine says i-tunes library created on a newer version of i-tunesand does not load. The Apple uppdater on the XP machine returns all software up to date. How do I get the XP machne to recognise the library?

For general library squiffiness following an upgrade or crash the easiest thing is to restore your last backup, but I guess if it were that simple you wouldn't be here.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these andcopy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
PS There is also a new iTunes build to download today, so might be worth getting that. A new iTunes should always load an older library file.

Vista 64-bit and Treo 600 Hotsync solution that works!

I too searched many, many forums and sites for a solution to this problem. And I have found it.
I have an HP dv9260 laptop with Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit and Office Pro 2007, which I bought in June this year. And I have been unable to sync my Treo 600 to it - until now. (I had even resorted to syncing to my older Toshiba Tablet PC (WinXP Pro, Office Pro 2003) via standard USB sync cable, connecting the Tablet to the new HP with a Belkin Easy Transfer cable, exporting my updated Contacts, Calendar, and InfoSafe records to .vcf, .ics, and .txt files, then transferring between the HP and Tablet, and then importing them into the appropriate app - Whew! man what a pain.
Now I have found a far more elegant and simple method. I found an Infrared USB 2.0 adaptor (dongle) at the Chunwai_1996 store on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-USB-2-0-IRDA-ADAPER-4Mbps-SUPPORT-VISTA_W0QQitemZ110164766509QQcmdZViewItem) for $8.33 USD + $5.67 USD S&H (total $14.00 even) (I believe that the price is now $12.49 USD + $5.67 S&H.) , which said it supported and supplied drivers for 64-bit Vista. It took a little over two weeks to receive the device from Hong Kong (received yesterday, 08-31-2007).
I checked the mini CD that shipped with it but found no Vista drivers. So I just plugged it into a USB port on the laptop. Vista immediately recognized the dongle and installed generic Vista 64-bit drivers from Microsoft. I tested the unit by placing the Treo near it. The unit recognized the Treo as a legitimate device! Next, I followed the directions I found in another thread that had been successful with USB 2.0, Vista 32-bit drivers, and the Treo 600, with one slight modification. Here is a repost from the Vista-Help.ca blog by Kerry Brown, verbatim except for a couple of modifications and few additional steps.
=============================================
Palm Treo 600 with Vista and Office 2007
I've had a lot of people ask about how I got my Treo 600 phone to sync with Outlook 2007 in Vista so I thought I'd write up the procedure. Hopefully Palm will have new Vista compatible software soon but in the meantime here's how I got it working on two computers so far. First you have to use Vista x86. I couldn't get it to work with Vista x64. If you've already tried to get it working then you have to clean up all the leftover stuff before continuing.
1. Uninstall Palm Desktop
2. Insert the CD that came with the Treo but don't let it autorun.
3. Navigate to the correct language folder on the Treo CD and right click on setup.exe
4. Set the compatibilty for XP SP2 and Run as administrator.
5. Run setup.exe
6. During the install the initial sync may fail. Just tell the installation to continue.
7. If you want to sync with Outlook make sure you pick this option during the install
8. Once it's finished close the Hotsync System Tray application.
9. In Windows Explorer go to the Palmone folder in Program Files.
10. Right click hotsync.exe and set it to run in administrator mode with XP SP2 compatibility.
11. Do the the same for palm.exe.
12. Start the Palm Desktop and change the Hotsync settings to manual start.
-and- 12a. ******* Check the Infrared option to make it active and available *******
13. Exit Palm Desktop and reboot.
You should now be able to sync the Treo 600 with Outlook 2007 or Palm Desktop. You will have to manually start the Hotsync application and deal with a uac prompt because it is set to run in administrator mode. The sync only works when Outlook is not running. You also have to sync twice. The first time you will get errors about the default folders for Outlook. Ignore the errors and press the sync button again. If it still doesn't work reboot and try it again. Good luck. Let me know if you find an easier procedure.
=====================================================
After rebooting the laptop, I performed the following additional steps:
A. Manually started the Hotsync app (you can put it in the Startup folder to auto load at Startup).
B. Set the Custom options to "Desktop overrides Handheld" for Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Notes - this may help avoid duplicates from the first Hotsync. Also, this is just a temporary override from the default setting "Synchronize the files" for each selection.
C. Selected Hotsync on the Treo and enabled the Infrared option.
D. Pressed the Hotsync 'button' on the Treo and placed it pointing at the Infrared dongle.
The Hotsync ran to completion without errors! Though it did take a good deal longer since it only runs at 115.2 kbps vs. the 480 Mbps of USB 2.0, I am happy.
Hope this helps others with Vista 64-bit systems and Palm OS handhelds.
Cheers.
-Robert
