Windows 7 and Palm m500

I have read other messages on this board, but I still cannot get my m500 series Palm to sync with my 64-bit version of Windows 7. I have tried using XP mode, but my device was not recognized under the USB option on the virtual desktop toolbar. Same problem with the Aceeca drivers - my device was never recognized. I use a crade/cable set up to sync the Palm to the computer. Any ideas???

There are others using the m500 with the Aceeca driver. I need more details on your problem. What desktop version are you attempting to use. Have you attempted to use more than one version of the palm desktop and not done a clean uninstall of the previous versions. Here is an example of what should transpire while installing the Aceeca file if you already had the palm desktop 4.1.4 installed.
1: Download the Aceeca driver and unzipp it.
2: Turn on and hook up your device to the computer.
3: Go to the device manager and look for palm, there should be some kind of yellow symbol next to it. This will only happen if your m500 is hooked up and powered on.
4: At this point you right click on palm and update driver, choose browse for and find the Aceeca driver and select and install it.
5: When it installs it will show up in device manager as ACEECA Handheld Device.
I have no idea what is going on unless you tell me and you may have none all of this or not. Be persistent with this problem. Most people have success on the first try others not. If you have the Aceeca driver installed and are using palm desktop 6.2.2 you may be able to hotsync but none of the info will show up. In this case you will need another free app to get the 6.2.2 to communicate with your legacy device. So give us more info and more detail.

Problem when trying to sync with Palm Centro phone and Palm m500

I just purchased a Palm Centro phone and have had no problem when I try to sync the phone with the Palm software on the computer, however, my wife has an older Palm m500 and all her contacts are on her Palm, but they don't show up on the Palm Desktop software. Is there something we're doing wrong? All the dates show up on her desk top and everything in my phone shows up on my desktop, only her contacts are empty.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

It is likely that your wife's older device (with Legacy two-word PIMs) is incompatible with the Access Desktop/Hotsync for Verizon Centros as I believe it has only the new Extended (one-word) PIM conduits. If you are running XP you might be able to use a download of 4.1.4e. Suggest you search the Hotsync forum to see if the Centro can use this version of Hotsync (I don't have a Centro).

Reinstall WinXP and Palm Desktop - Don't Want to Lose Data ??

Hi - searched for this in the forum, but didn't find any answers to my particular situation. Just need to make absolutely certain I don't lose anything.
Had to perform a format/reinstall of XP in December. All up-to-date with service packs, etc.
Now need to reinstall all my Palm stuff.
I have all the files from my pre-format stored in a massive hard drive backup on a separate drive.
My Centro is up-to-date as of December right before re-install; I have added some additional contacts/appts in the Centro since then.
I have added some other data in Outlook 2003.
Now, after I install the Palm desktop:
How would I perform my first hot-sync?
How do I get all my programs etc. back? They are on the Centro right now - I don't want to lose them. Some don't need to sync with computer and some do. I can't afford to lose the data in these programs. Will syncing with the phone (overwriting the desktop) allow my programs to stay the way they are on the Centro right now?
Do I need to do something with the backup I made? Is it even useful?
Thanks in advance, and let me know if I'm not making sense.

Hello!
Fresh reinstall of Windows and Palm Desktop? If so then all you need to do is plug the cable into the phone and hit the black button. Palm Desktop will prompt create new user, just hit yes and your all set! The hotsync process auto does a handheld overwrite sync style for this inital process. If you already created the username in Palm Desktop that is the same as the Centro and have not yet hotsynced, rename that user to whatever and then do that sync.

"Port In Use" error message when trying to sync Palm m500 to Windows Vista machine

An error message on my Palm displays "Error: Serial Port in Use (Serial 0307)" when I try to sync my Palm m500 to my Windows Vista (32 bit) Home Basic machine. It worked until about 3 months ago and I don't have a restore point that far back to try System Restore. I've upgraded to Palm Desktop 6.2.2 (was using 4.xx) and downloaded the PalmHotSyncSetup from Pimlico Software but nothing helps. Any ideas are appreciated.
Post relates to: Palm m500

I would try connecting the Palm's cradle, with the Palm in it, to your PC and then, in Device Manager, right-clicking on Palm Handheld #2 and selecting Uninstall Driver. Palm Handheld/Palm Handheld #1 could be visible if you connect the Palm to USB port you may have tried using perviously.
After uninstalling Palm Desktop, reboot the PC, make sure Palm Desktop 6.2.2 is installed (since you are using Vista) and then try reconnecting the Palm.
One last thing: Make sure that you are using a 32-bit version of Windows. There is no 64-bit USB driver support from Palm or ACCESS. If you do have a 64-bit version of Windows Vista installed, that would clearly explain why you are having so much trouble getting your m500-series PDA to sync. This thread tells you how to check for a 32 or 64-bit install of Windows.

Palm m500 Hotsync with Windows 7 Home Basic - 32 bit

I have a couple of old, but ever so useful, Palm m500/m505 PDAs, which I could hot-sync with my old PC running on Windows XP. Now I have up-graded to PC with Windows 7 Home Version - 32 bit and am at my wit's end trying to hot sync my PDA data on to my PC Palm Desktop.
I tried hot-syncing by installing Palm Desktop 4.1.4. and Palm 6.2. Have both on my PC. It did do a hot-sync but only to back-up data. I need to view the data on my PC/Monitor.
As I am of the older generation, (a senior citizen), could an expert give me step-by-step simple instructions on how to resolve my problem. My Palm m500 PDA has too many contacts to manually transfer.
Also can I convert PDA contacts to Outlook Address Book and then hot-sync with Palm m500 series PDA ?
Waiting anxiously for help and guidance ..........

Hello DiegoK and welcome to the forums......
I would try going into safe mode and following the instructions below.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to C:\Program Files\Palm or
Palm One. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and copy.
Then go to your PC desktop, right click on a blank spot and select paste.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer. Like the above folder, delete the Palm folder. Once this is done,
you will need to delete some registry keysfrom your PC Operating System registry.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
to not start up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them everything
they need to delete. To retain your current Registry settings, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
On the PC, go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As
box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents or you can change to a location you will remember.
In the file name box, type "Regbackup[todaysdate]" i.e. Regbackup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install,
and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer
Then reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
did not sync before you create a hotsync name.

Windows 8 and Palm TX pda

Connected pda to Bluetooth. Downloaded Palm 6.2 to computer but directions for connecting to Bluetooth did not match the Palm tool bar.

I searched for "64bit Windows USB Palm Desktop drivers" in the "Search HP" search box above. That took me to the thread "64 Bit Windows USB drivers for Palm Desktop".
I clicked the link in the first post "Aceeca Driver Downloads"
I downloaded the drivers from Aceeca and then extracted them to a directory of my making.
I then installed the Palm Desktop software to my machine.
I then copied the four files to the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Palm\USB_Driver:
AceecaUSBDx64.cat
AceecaUSBDx64.inf
AceecaUSBDx64.sys
USBPort.dll
Ran the install again and then ran the "Safe HotSync" and then tried the hotsync function.
VOILA! The program worked and the files transferer flawlessly.
Thanks to all who participated in this thread.

Sync Palm m500 to Mac OS 10.4.3. Possible?

I've just moved from using Mac OS 10.3.9 to 10.4.3 and I'd like to sync my "old" Palm m500 to it. With the previous OS I had Conduit manager v 3.2 and I could sync with no problems whatsoever. Now I wonder if I can sync Palm m500 with Tiger. I've been checking in Palm and Apple sites but I haven't found any useful information. Reading some of your comments in the forum I realize I might have problems using the new version of isync. On top of that I know my Palm is not precisely the latest model, but it works so well I don't fancy buying a new one. Can somebody help? Thanks.

Palm recommends that for the m500 series of handheld organizers, that you install the Palm Desktop 4.2.1 version A, available here:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421.html
With this handheld, you need not first install software from the CD-ROM that was supplied with your device, as it does not contain unique software for your device.
After installing the Palm Desktop, Apple recommends that you first synchronize with it prior to configuring and using iSync. Once you've done that, launch iSync and select Enable Palm OS Syncing… from the Devices menu, and follow the instructions which appear. At the conclusion of this step, your device will appear in iSync. You can then press the Palm icon in its main window to drop down a configuration pane, which lets you specify how iSync interacts with specific contact groups and calendars.
If you intend to synchronize with other devices, including .Mac, you should also open the Preferences… dialog under the iSync menu, and check or enable all three options under the General tab. Then, each time you synchronize, you should…
• launch iSync
• select Sync Now from beneath the Sync Status icon in your menu bar, and
• press you HotSync button when prompted to do so by the dialog
And, when you've successfully done all this - and find youself unhappy with the manner in which iSync performs - you should consider purchasing and installing the far more flexible, robust, feature-rich and reliable synchronization software from Mark/Space: The Missing Sync for Palm OS. More information about that package is available here:
http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php
One caution: The Missing Sync for Palm OS should be installed only after you have successfully synchronized at least once with both the Palm Desktop and with iSync.

Palm m500

Hello,
I used to have Vista, now on my computer I have the new Windows 7. I am having trouble downloading the software to my computer to use my Palm. Can someone help or walk me through this. I am really new to this whole computer thing. Thanks

Not from HP. But the first two Google hits resulting from a search "Palm M500 battery" are an Amazon seller for the battery, and a YouTube video from directfix.com to do the job yourself.

HotSync with Vista and Palm TX

I have new Dell Inspiron; successfully installed Palm TX software and performed first HotSync. One month later I'm receiving error message after attempting the HotSynch "The connection between your device and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again." I have checked set and downloaded "Palm Desktop 6.2 for Windows" and still can't perform HotSync. I've tried all four USB ports on laptop; done soft reset; restarted laptop, all to no avail. HELP!!! I'm just about ready to go back to paper planner!!!
Post relates to: Palm TX
This question was solved.
View Solution.

When you connect your device to your computer do not perform a hotsync. Instead open your device manager, you should be able to locate that in your Control Panel.
Once inside your device manager locate your Palm device. It should be located under Universal Serial Bus Controllers or Network Adaptors. Once you find it right click it and go to "Uninstall." As soon as you click uninstall unplug the device from the computer.
Plug it back in and it should come up with Found new hardware and hopefully you will be able to sync fine after that.
Let me know if that works out for you.

ISync and Palm : difficult

Hello,
There are 2 pbs :
* there is no way to have the palm icon being displayed in the isync front windows
* when the sync is started directly from the palm, it does not sync properly the phone number : as there is no more any way to reinitialise the palm with the data from the computer (as isync can't access the palm), it syncs in the 2 directions. Then the data from the palm generate a resynchro for 250 phone numbers (the home phone are ste as work phone in address book) out of my 560 contacts.
I have accepted once these modifications, then changed all the numbers in adress book to set them back as home phone... But on the next sync, it asks me again to resynchro the 250 numbers, as if it was syncing only from the palm, and not taking in account the adress bokk modifications...
I have already tried the followings :
* destroying the palm sotware and reinstal it
* destroing the "app support" for isync and palm
* destroyng the pref for isync and palm
I have tried to reinstrall isync, but the 2.3 version seems not available on apple site... (only 1.5, an 2.1 on another site)
Context :
I have re-used my palm after may be 1 year without any use.
I was then in a previous version of OSX on the last sync 1 year ago (I have read things about first isync and 10.4.6... Too late ! )
I have a Palm zire 31

There is no easy way to do this. You must manually reconfigure the conduits each time you want to move from one environment to the other. [But, see the note of caution at the end of this message.] Also, reinstalling the Palm Desktop after iSync is installed and configured can create problems, so if you want to move from one evironment to other, do this:
Locate the active Conduits and Disabled Conduits folders, here:
Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync
To activate the Palm Desktop, move this conduit to the Disabled Conduits folder:
• Apple [that's the Finder name of the iSync Palm Conduit]
To activate the Palm Desktop, move ONLY these conduits to the active Conduits folder:
• Calendar Conduit
• Contacts Conduit
• Memos Conduit*
• Tasks Conduit
The analagous but outmoded Address, Datebook, Memo and ToDo conduits should remain in the Disabled Conduits if they are present at all in your configuration.
*If activated, the Memos conduit will synchronize memos with the Palm Desktop. iSync has no memo function, and the older Memo [singular] conduit should always remain inactive if present.
To reverse the process, do just the opposite to restore iSync and deactivate the Palm Desktop. As explained above, however, leave the Memos conduit active if you wish to synchronize memos at all.
A word of warning: the SyncServices framework is complex, and subject to sudden and unexplained data errors due to corruption of actual data or the handlers which push and pull it to and from the truth database. Every time you act in a manner which increases this complexity—such as moving back and forth from one synchronization environment to another—you greatly increase the likelihood that you will corrupt your data, and you place your synchronization scheme at greater risk of failure.
