Windows 7 64bit & Sony Clie SJ22

Hi,
I've been scouring the forum and am looking for a way to sync my wife's Clie to Windows 7 64bit.  I followed advice here and purchased a USB infrared adapter.  I was able to sync with it prior to the upgrade.  I do have Professional but my machine does not support virtualization, so I can't sync under XP mode.  I installed the palm desktop 4.1.  When I attempt to sync, I get an error on the handheld:
"Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application"
I would try Palm Desktop 6.2, but I don't think it will work with the Clie, and I'm not sure what I would need to do to get it to work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Trent

After some more searching I did get this to work   I discovered the "port is in use .." was a common error with IrDA syncing per this IrDA faq.   I had to disable beam receive, and do a soft reset.
I also was able to install Palm Desktop 6.2, and then install PalmHotSyncSetup a free download from Pimlico software which allows 6.2 to work with the legacy devices.  I found that out from here:  http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=261651
So, I was able to sync and backup the device.  However it is horribly slow.  What was a few seconds in XP takes 10+ minutes.

  • Sony Clie NZ90 and Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)

    Good afternoon!
    I have done my best to Search and read through many of the Sticky and normal posts that might relate to trying to get my Clie to talk to my new HP laptop, on both this forum as well as others.  I think that there may still be a couple of things to try; however, I would be very appreciative if one or more of you can help shorten the process for me, since I've already invested a dozen hours or so on this issue and I'm a bit tired and frazzled.
    - My Clie came with Palm Desktop v4.x.  In its HotSync Manager or elsewhere, I do not see a bluetooth setting.  I'm wondering if that it's only in Palm Desktop v6.x?  If so, is Palm Desktop v6.x compatible with Sony Clie NZ90 (i.e., can I upgrade to v6.x without losing all of my data)?  If not, is there any way I can do a bluetooth HotSync using Palm Desktop v4.x?  Both the Clie and my HP laptop have bluetooth.
    - My new HP laptop is a 64-bit machine.  I have tried installing the Sony Clie / Palm Desktop software from both the regular as well as the x86 Program Files directories, and I get an immediate incompatibility notice, so I am unclear as to how to get Windows 7 to recognize the Clie and Palm Desktop even using the Aceeca drivers.  Running under Windows 7 is not critical, since I have a Windows XP Virtual Machine that seems to work well, but I figured I should ask in case I was missing something obvious.
    - As I said previously, I have the Windows XP Virtual machine up and running.  I installed the Sony Clie / Palm Desktop software with no problem, and I can use the Palm Desktop v4.x.  However, when I try to HotSync via USB, the Windows XP Virtual machine tries to load drivers, and can't find them.  In the past (on previous Windows XP machines), I have just had to specifically point the wizard to (browse to) the NZ90 drivers, and they would load.  This failed on my laptop.  I tried the Aceeca drivers, and they, too failed.  Going to the Device Manager, I see that it's identified as a virtual machine device, rather than seeing it as a Palm Handheld device.  Could this be the problem, and if so, is there a workaround?
    - Is there anything else I'm missing at this point that can get me up and running?
    Thank you in advance for all of your patience and expertise!

    Something may be awry with the special registry permissions on the My Music folder, Just. I think the iTunes installer looks for those in order to determine just where the default location of My Music is on a given computer.
    But since this is a first-time install, the situation should be pretty simple to recover from.
    Hold down the shift key when you go to launch iTunes. In the dialog box that comes up, select "Create library" and put the library where you please.
    Probably a good idea after doing that to try launching iTunes again, just to make sure that it is still finding the iTunes folder. But by default, next time you open iTunes (after creating a new library), it should try to open the library in the location you created the library in.

  • Please how do i? (sony Clie PEG-SJ22 )

    Hello, this is my first post here. Im looking forward to learning something since for the life of me I am clueless.
    I bought this hand held(sony Clie PEG-SJ22 ) cheap on eBay because i wanted to read text files and PDF files from my laptop
    while on the go.
    i am tryinh to connect the palmtop and the desktop trough Infra Red and i have read all the instructions and tried to fallow them to the T but i get nada.
    I installed the palm os software and hot link software in my win XP laptop but i have proven that trying to figure it out on my own is just giving me a headache.
    can someone point  me to some help reading.  Do i have to do some extra set up on my lap top?
    the hot link software manual says it configures automatically but nothing.
    i also tried to set up a new infra red conection in my laptop but nothing.
    i hope someone can help me  thanks

    Hello!
    First do make sure you do have infrared on your laptop, its not exactly a standard anymore. 
    The Palm Desktop defaults to the use of USB so with IR, some setup is required on your pc.  On the PDA, just set it to Local and connect via IR.  On the PC, go into the hotsync manager and put a check in for Loca/Serial.  Afterwards in the hotsync manager, go into Settings and hit the Local tab to choose the correct COM port.  Might have to do trail and error with the COM ports pending if another application is using one.  Afterwads, line up you pda to the IR port on your computer and give a try!

  • Windows 64Bit Itunes Error : "THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS INSTALLER PACKAGE. A PROGRAM REQUIRED FOR THIS INSTALL TO COMPLETE COULD NOT BE RUN CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL OR PACKAGE VENDOR."

    I have a brand new HP laptop windows 64bit that is having issues installing Itunes 10.6.3. Whenever attempting to install, I get the error message : "THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS INSTALLER PACKAGE. A PROGRAM REQUIRED FOR THIS INSTALL TO COMPLETE COULD NOT BE RUN CONTACT YOUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL OR PACKAGE VENDOR." I thought this was an issue with the new version, and attempted to retrieve/install older versions of Itunes and same issue occurs. I have tried other forums and resolution tips from : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3551 and nothing still. It appears that apple installs bonjour and nothing else. I have tried extracting the itunes package and installing the executables seperately, but everytime the error stil arises. I cannot repair the apple software update as it cannot install from the error mentioned above. Looking through the logs, it shows error : 1721, problem with windows installer package.Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try?

    There are so many different error and problems peopl are having.
    This is a link to mine
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3467825
    I think it has to be something on Apples end.
    Hopefully they fix it soon. Ive used a few GB redownloading and Im going crazy

  • I updated to itunes 11, uninstalled it according to directions, and  re-installed itunes 10.7.021 for windows 64bit.  Now Iget the message itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by an earlier version of itunes

    I updated my computer to Itune 11, did not like it, and uninstalled it exactly according to directions. I re-installed Itune10.7.021 for Windows 64bit, but now I keep getting the message "The file  itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes.  How can I resolve this problem?

    zepel has it, but perhaps some more detail will help.
    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 and copy 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.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Conversion of Palm Desktop Data (for Sony Clie)

    Is there any software available that will convert my Palm Desktop (for Sony Clie) data to a format that can be uploaded to an iPhone (3G)?

    I believe PocketMirror from http://www.chapura.com should do just what you need. It will move everything from your Palm to Outlook, which iTunes can then work with. Hope it helps!

  • Install Oracle Clusterware/RAC  Windows x32bit or Windows 64bit ?

    Hi,
    What is your suggestion to install Oracle Clusterware RAC on Windows.
    Why choose Windows 32 bit ?
    Why choose Windows 64 bit?
    What are the advantages and disadvantages?

    Hi,
    I definitely recommend 64bit Windows, the principal reason is memory addressing limitation.
    In my standpoint do not exist benefits to use Windows 32bit with Oracle Clusterware/RAC.
    32-bit processors have address registers that are 32-bits wide (can address up to 4GB physical RAM).
    You can to use a workaround by enabling the addressing of more than 4GBytes using parameters in Windows (AWE/PAE). But if I want to use more than 4Gbytes, I'll go to Windows 64bit.
    The 4GB addressable space per process is divided into system and user space. By default, the system space is 2GB and the private user space is 2GB. Each user process shares the same 2GB System address space.
    The services of the Clusterware, ASM and Listener will consume at least 1Gbyte of memory initially.
    If you create an instance to to use 1Gbytes and you have 50 connections you will have problems with connections to the database raising the following error.
      TNS-00510: Internal limit restriction exceeded
        32-bit Windows Error: 8: Exec format error
    TNS-00507: Connection closed
        32-bit Windows Error: 109: Unknown errorReason: Problems of memory usage. i.e. Out of Memory.
    Another point:
    With Windows 32-bit using Clusterware/RAC 11.1 you can set Automatic Memory Management(AMM) feature (MEMORY_TARGET) but you cannot use if you create 2 Instances on same Host.
    Check this note..
    *ORA-27102, OSD-00031 Unable To Extend Memory_max_target And Memory_target Past 2GB [ID 842881.1]*
    Oracle Solution: Please install the 64-bit OS on 64-bit server, hence there is no memory limitations
    I belive that is reason wich Oracle not support Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2 on Windows 32-bit. You cannot use ASM 11.2 on Windows 32-bit.
    Definitely do not exist reason for me to to use Windows 32bit to support Oracle Clusterware.
    There are lot services involved  wich require memory and a big limitation of memory on 32-bit.
    At present all latest CPUs support 64bit. Then install Oracle Clusterware/RAC x64, even when you are use less than 4GBytes memory, you only have benefits.
    Benefits of Use 64-bit are:
    64-bit versions of Windows have implemented up to 16 terabytes of virtual address space
    64-bit programs use the 16 terabyte tuning model (8TB user / 8TB kernel)
    No performance penalties for large memory
    Unlimited user connectivity
    64-bit Windows versions allow addressing of large physical memory sizes without using PAE
    *Windows Memory Configuration: 32-bit and 64-bit [ID 873752.1]*
    This document gives a better understanding of my perspective.
