Windows Hot Sync

Had to replace my Zire 72 with Used unit which was working OK, and was able to hot sync both units. Did a master reset and get following message when attempting hot sync: "The connection between your handheld and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again."  Replaced cable and used different usb port, checked conduit settings and selected correct user name (but couldn't find way to set user name on Palm unit). Palm DT has two entries, one each for data from old and new unit.
Need help

Working now. I was experimenting with the export/import function and set up a "test" user name on the desktop.  Exported contacts from file to desktop "test". After this Hot Synch worked with no problems. Isn't science wonderful??

  • Windows hot sync at work

    Can anyone help me change my work ourlook 2007 settings so I can sync to my calendar, contacts and tasks on my work computer?

    On your home PC can you do a handheld overwrites desktop? Something is coming from your work PC to your device and once you sync it is unable to do so. Just so you know as well if you do the handheld overwrites desktop. That will remove all data with datebook from the PC and put data from the handheld in its places. So make sure there is nothing you need in there before you try this.

    Hi..  Welcome to the Palm forums.  So if I am understanding you when you try to sync it goes to calendar and freezes and never completes the sync.  That being the case the first thing you want to do is go to the conduits and turn off calendar then sync and all should be successful, except calendar will not sync.  What this indicates is that you have corrupted data in your calendar, most likely on the E2.  Do a google search on your computer for a utility 'dbfixit' and download it to your computer.  Extract it so you have the dbfixit.prc file and double click on it to put it in the installer.  Then, insuring the calendar conduit is off, sync to install it.  Once installed run dbfixit.  This utility is free or can be purchased for (I believe) 12.95.  The free version will search for corruption and problems let you know where they are and you will have to manually fix or delete them.  If you register it, when you run the utility it will find the errors and fix them as well.  Once all errors are fixed, turn the calendar conduit back on and you should be able to sync.

  • T|X hot synched to Windows 7. Bluetooth hot sync deleted all info on Palm creating .bin file on PC.

    I realize the subject line may be a bit wordy...
    I tried installing Palm Desktop on Windows 7 PC with partial success.  It appeared the Hot Sync Manager was operating, but the Palm Desktop would not load properly.  I tried hot synching using Bluetooth.  Hot sync deleted all information on Palm and created .bin file on PC.
    Is it possible to retrieve info from .bin file and reinstall on Palm?

    Hi and welcome to the HP Support Community.
    I have never heard or read about Palm Desktop creating a .bin file from a botched Hotsync.  If the Hotsync did not complete and the data is wiped from your handheld, I am not optimistic about restoring the data.  Do you not have the data backed up via Hotsync on a different computer?

  • Tungsten T3 Hot Sync in Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and WIndows XP mode

    I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and now my Palm T3 will not sync.  I downloaded desktop 6.3, 4.1.4, and 4.1.4e. I tried all three in both windows 7 and windows XP mode which I am told is a 32 bit O/S but I'm really not sure.  I have tried hot syncing in bluetooth in windows 7 the T3 and Laptop connect but it keeps telling me the port is in use by another program? Does anyone know what I have to do to get it to sync or am I doomed to throw my trusty T3 out? Any Ideas?

  • Hot synced Zire 71 with Windows Vista

    I have a Zire 71 and I just bought a Toshiba laptop with Vista 32bit.  I was able to hot-sync the Zire successfully and the files loaded onto the laptop.  But when I looked at the Palm desktop, there was nothing whatsoever.  No data whatsoever.  Nothing.  Obviously the problem is with Vista. 
    What can I do to get my files to appear on the Palm Desktop? Is it possibly related to the file extensions having a problem with Vista, or is there an add-on to fix this?
    HELP!!!!!!!!
    Many thanks in advance!

  • Windows Vista 755P hot sync - It works!!

    Here is what I did to make it work with a USB Cable:
    1. Remove palm software from computer if you have it installed
    2. Remove outlook 2007 conduit updater
    3. go to registry
    Start>Run>regedit  and do the following:
    4. Current_User
    5. under current user find software and remove the following:
                 palm should be 2 folders (delete these)
    6. under Current user then go to US Robotics folder and delete it (if you do not have a US robotics modem that is, if you do have a modem open the folder and delete only the Palm entries.)
    7. go to palm website and go to support,
    8. under support go to downloads
    9. at the top of the pager on the right under more downloads download "palm desktop and hot sync manager" MB
    10. get a new copy of outlook conduit updater while your there as well.
    11. Install Palm desktop.
            When asked if you want to sync Palm desktop or outlook check the second one. Sync with Desktop and outlook
             do all the steps except do not SYNC at this time Make sure you hit Skip
    12. after you complete the desktop manager install install Outlook conduit updater that you downloaded above.
    13. hook up your 755 and hit the button to sync it.....
    Please keep in mind that this works for me. Please make sure that you edit your regisrty with caution
    All the Best,

    I was having trouble trying to sync my 755 to my vista.  I went to the website palm/vista...downloaded the software...tried to install the software on the cd (it should read: DO NOT INSTALL)...and my computer could not hotsync or find drivers... it kept recognizing it as a 680 but warned that it was not installed properly.
    That post was the only thing that worked for me.  thank you
    Palm's little sticker on the software CD was totally unhelpful
    I spent about a week on and off trying to get this thing to work.. Thanks alot for the post. I was able to sync my 755 to my new vista installed laptop flawlessly

  • Hot Sync Manager (little hot sync icon on lower right of screen - Window's XP

    In order for my hot sync to work when I log in to my computer each morning, I have to go to Start, Programs, Palm, and Hot Sync Manager to have the hot sync work (i.e., turn on the hot sync manager).  If I don't do this each time after turning on my computer, when I try to sync my Palm Z22 with my computer, it says that a connection between the Palm and the computer cannot be found.  Any suggestions for how to make the hot sync manager always appear in the lower right tray of my computer screen (i.e., remain on even after shutting down the night before and logging in the next day) would be appreciated.

    Hello Snyder-k and welcome to the Palm forums.
     Have you tried downloading and installing Palm Desktop 4.2.1 Rev D?  That version should work fine with your iMac running Mac OS X 10.5.4.  Just make sure that your Mac OS X user account is an admin level account before reinstalling Palm Desktop.

  • Windows XP Hot Sync Problem

    OK, I went to the Hot Sync problem thread (Start here) and didn't really find anything that might help me with what I've experienced.  Last week I did a Hot Sync as normal but with this particular sync I received a message that there was an error and to look at my sync log.  I went to the log and the following message appeared:
    -- Calendar
    - Some handheld records were not copied to your PC. Your computer may be full or you may have reached the maximum allowed records on the desktop. To correct this situation, delete some records and perform a HotSync operation again.
    Desktop = 7099, Handheld = 7081
    The only problem with this message was that when I went to delete some records ALL my calendar items had been deleted!  Another sync didn't fix the problem.
    Based on a prior problem with my address book, I decided to upgrade to the newer Hot Sync (6.x) which didn't fix the problem. 
    Both my datebook .DAT and .BAK files are at 1,682KB...so I'm wondering if they are really empty?
    So, I'm looking for help in trying to restore my datebook data as there are important items from the last three months that I've lost.
    Any ideas?

    Please excuse this new account name...I'm having an account(s) problem...but this is still that same person with the original problem...
    This was the very first Hot Sync log message between my T/X Palm and my laptop (Compaq). [Shown just below these words.]  What I don’t understand about this is why there isn’t a warning message if my computer datebook.dat file is running out of space.  My hard disk is far from running out of space.  However, after all the potential advice and various activities I’ve done, I suspect this wasn’t the problem at all.
      -- Calendar
    - Some handheld records were not copied to your PC. Your computer may be full or you may have reached the maximum allowed records on the desktop. To correct this situation, delete some records and perform a HotSync operation again.
    Desktop = 7099, Handheld = 7081
     After this I did an upgrade of my desktop software from v4.x to v6.x (Access) which had no effect on the problem.
     I also installed the DbFixIt software and it found lots of errors and corrected them.  As a matter of fact I’ve run it a few times after trying unsuccessful Hot Sync’s and after each I’ve had more errors to fix.
     Now this error occurred in mid January (I don’t remember the exact date.)  So even if my laptop data space was full I had another possibility in that I also have a desk/tower computer that I hadn’t sync’d with since September 08.  See below the line…
    OK, so after getting the DbFixIt software advice and running it, I decided to see about restoring Date data via my older desktop computer.  So after “fixing” the datedata DB, I set the Hot Sync on my tower unit for the DESKTOP to overwrite the handheld.  After which I got this message below:
     HotSync session started on 01/22/09 15:40:02, and completed in 154.0 seconds
     Date Book synchronization aborted
     Duration: 43.6 seconds
     Could not read the next handheld record.
     Please check your connections and try again.
     Some handheld records were not copied to your PC. Your computer may be full or you may have reached the maximum allowed records on the desktop. To correct this situation, delete some records and perform a HotSync operation again.
     Desktop = 6910, Handheld = 7099
    And guess what!  It still blew away my old desktop data just like it did on the laptop!  I have a very hard time understanding why this happened given what I selected for updating. 
    OK, so now I’m resigned to the fact that I’ve lost all my date data, some of which was very important.  Unfortunately I established backups just around this time and none of the backups have the correct data that I know of.  I have backed up the data files to a USB hard disk and I’ve also subscribed to Carbonite which is backing up my data as well.  Would you say that this is good enough? 
    What I want to do now is determine if my handheld has a hardware problem or not because I don’t want to loose my address DB data as that’s even more critically important than the date data.  So if you have further suggestions on how to ensure the proper and correct operation of the handheld, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks,

  • Hot Sync with Non-latin Character Display Problem

    I have a XP Home Desktop with Palm Desktop 4.01 installed. When I do a hot sync with my Sony Clie T655C, the chinese characters are display correctly in both XP home Desktop and the Clie.
    Now, I have a netbook with window7 Starter installed for travelling use. It took me a while to resolve the problem on the hotsync with window 7 starter and sony clie. At the end, I have Palm desktop v6.2 and Palmhotsyncsetup from pimlico on the netbook. I am able to do a hotsync with cradle/cable, but not through network (with TCP/IP not listen error message).
    I have installed the chinese, English, french IME for the window 7 Starter netbook. I am able to type Chinese character in Notepad and Word and display the character correctly. I am able to save the file ( filename in both chinese and english character), re-open it and all characters are displayed correctly.
    But with Palm Desktop v6.2, I am able to type chinese and the characters are displayed correctly in calendar/data book. When I close the palm desktop and re-open it again. All the characters become "?", as a result, I can not fully evaluate the software Pimlico for window desktop. As it only works with Palm desktop v6.2.
