Windows Reloaded - Palm Desktop Sync

I recently needed to reload Windows XP to my machine. All the contents of my Palm Desktop data were moved to a back up folder. I now need re-install the Palm Desktop application software and resynch with my Centero.
I am not sure what the procedure is after reloading the palm desk top application
Can I just resynch with my certero without having to move the data from the back up files to the palm desktop application or can just synch and have my centero update the palm files ? The data on my centero does match what was in the backup folder.

Hello bigdogron and welcome to the Palm forums.
The process that I have found that works the best is:
1. Copy the entire Palm folder from the backup location into the c:\program files folder.
2. Reinstall the Palm Desktop application into the path: c:\program files\palm.
3. Reinstall any third-party software like Chapura Pocket Mirror or DataViz Documents To Go; re-establishing the desktop conduits with the new install.
4. Re-sync your Centro.
Just keep in mind that when you install all of this software, you need to have the administrator role applied to your Windows user account so that the Windows registry and c:\windows folder gets updated correctly. Once the software has been installed and you have performed at least one good HotSync, you can revoke the admin rights if required.

Palm desktop sync with Windows 7 64-bit

I can see that this topic has been beaten to death here, but I can't seem to find an answer despite a number of search attempts. I'm trying to hotsync a Treo 90 to a Win7 64-bit machine via a USB connection. I have Palm Desktop v. 4.0.1 running. I have downloaded and installed the 64-bit drivers recommended here and can see the Treo in the Device Manager - it seems to be running normally, no yellow query. Yet, when I try to hotsync from the device, it just hangs, waiting for a connection that never happens. I'd appreciate any advice as to what I might have done wrong or what to do next to try to fix the problem. Thanks much,
BRJ

I do not know if it will work. In his post at brighthand that he made the Aceeca driver available to the palm community Alex stated that it should work with many Palm devices that were os 4 or 5. You are using an older version of the palm desktop and one of the older os 4 devices. I do know of people with the palm m505 and m515 using the Aceeca driver with success, but they were using a newer version of the palm desktop. I believe most were using the 4.1.4 palm desktop version. I do not know if experimenting with a newer desktop version will help either.

Windows 7 palm desktop

I have been running Palm Desktop (File version 6.2.2.0) on a Gateway (64 bit system) with Windows 7 Home Premium-Service Pack 1 and syncing with a Palm Centro. Everything was going fine until a couple weeks ago when the Palm Desktop software quit working. The initial logo screen comes up briefly then goes away and a Windows error message appears "Palm Desktop by ACCESS application has stopped working. A Problem caused the program to stop working correctly. . . ."
Is there a fix for this? Thanks for any help you can give.

Throughout the years, Windows updates have been notorious for breaking the operation of Palm Desktop.
You will most likely have to do a Clean Uninstall to rectify the situation.
These instructions are for Vista but should work for Win7.
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 Start --> Documents --> Palm OS Desktop. 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.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step. If you are not concerned about your data at this point, skip the next step.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do with Palm Desktop from your computer. Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below. C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or PalmOne C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata *Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck hide hidden files.
When using Palm desktop 6.2, look in my documents or documents and delete the PalmOS desktop folder. This is the location of the PD 6.2 data files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC from starting 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 procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box. Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. 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 and do a hotsync. If it asks you for a username, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right corner of the hotsync screen.

Contacts and Calendar not synching. (Centro, Windows XP, Palm Desktop 6.2.2) Please help!

I originally posted on the Hotsync forum, and it was suggested that I post my question here. Important information: My office uses Microsoft Outlook Exchange, and I have my Centro set up to get my emails. It also wants to sync my contacts and calendar; however, that is completely unneeded for my purposes. I need to synch my Contacts and Calendar with my Palm Desktop. If there is something I have to check or uncheck to do so, please tell me how.
This is my original post:
"When I hotsynch, my memopad, my documents to go, everything seems to synch except my contacts and calendar.
After a few hours on the phone with tech support at sprint, we went for the nuclear option, hard reset, and the temporarily solved the problem, but now it has returned.
Information that might be important:
I'm getting a failed to backup 1 file error>PmTraceDatabase>Protocol Error: Handheld file could not be opened (4004)>SYNCERR_FILE_NOT_OPEN. This may or may not be relevent.
Anyway, I appreciate any help with this. I depend on this PDA phone to keep me organized and there's a slight and embarrasing touch of panic to how I feel now that it is not working correctly."
Post relates to: VisorPhone

Okay, I'm continuing to do research on this, and here's my suspicion, maybe true or maybe false. When I set up versamail to get mail from my office's exchange server, it also configured my contact list and calendar to sync as well, and synching with the the exchange server and synching with my desktop software are mutually exclusive.
If this IS true, then hopefully there is a way to set it up so I synch my email only with the exchange server, and leave my contact list and calendar configured to synch with my desktop software.
Any feedback or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Blue Tooth to Palm Desktop Sync failure

Hi;
I have 2 Tungsten t3s. I installed the Palm Desktop then the IOGear Bluetooth driver/software. All ran and synced fine.
I use XP Pro Service pack 2 - duo core Intel 2.66ghz with 2gbs ram.
Been having problems with pc locking up other weirdness; ALL PRIOR to getting and installing Palm Desktop & Bluetooth.
Decided to format hard drive and reinstall XP Pro (Serv. Pack 2 -- don't use Serv Pack 3 -- too many problems). Reinstalled
all my usual software again. All clean installation. System running great - no problems at all.
Happily proceeded to install Palm Desktop, then installed Bluetooth. PC Bluetooth found PDA - PDA found PC. They paired just fine with security codes and all else but couldn't connect with Palm Desktop!! Uninstalled both completely; reinstalled (this Time) Bluetooth first, then Palm Desktop. Still no sync. Bluetooth finds PDA and PDA finds PC but can't connect to Palm Desktop. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times -- (cleaned registry & deleted Palm folders) both Palm software & bluetooth to no avail. Tried same setup on two other pcs -- still no connection to Palm Desktop. I repeat all worked fine before. I am somewhat of a PC tech; have setup, built and repaired 100's pcs; have never dealt with bluetooth before.

If the same problem is happening on different PCs then it's the device. If you have the data backed up then it's time to hard reset the device.

Have new computer with new Windows 7, Palm m105, and 4.1.4 palm desktop, trying to get it to synch correctly.

With new computer I have had to add a USB serial converter to the hot synch cradle. I spent most of the day trying to get the new serial converter to be recognized so that a synch could be performed. It now will synch when I put the palm in the cradle. After installing 4.1.4, In order to get everything to work, I took a recent historicalbackup version of my palmOne program file folder in the Program files, and replaced the entire folder with my historical version. When I opened the desktop software, all my data appears to be there, except that many of my previous entries in the Calendar are now three hours earlier than they used to be and some are moved to an adjacent day. My palm still has the correct information, but a custom synch to overwrite the desktop data with the handheld data produces no change, even though it went through a long synching process. I also have an older computer that has a complete backup copy of everything and the palm software in that one is working properly, so what should I do to correct the data in my Calendar on my new laptop?

It looks like you will need to "clean" uninstall Palm desktop and re-install.
Here are the clean uninstall instructions for XP, see if the palm folders are in the same location. We have not received any info. on windows 7 and how Palm desktop syncs with this version.
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.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
For Palm desktop 6.2, look in the following location for the folders and files, my documents, PalmOS desktop. You will find the username folder in this location.
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 keys
from 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, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right corner of the hotsync screen and sync.

Sync with palm desktop not working

I can install programs but it wonb't sync with palm dektop. I am running Windows & with palm desktop V.6.something. Its the latest one i think. I have a Zire 31. I used some software so it will sync programs but even when I save in plam desktop nothing changes! I NEED help!

(Thanks smkranz)
Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
If you are using the Palm Desktop from your original installation disc on your Vista desktop, it is not compatible and the Install Tool won't work. This is covered extensively here on the forums and in the Palm Support pages. You will need to use the new Palm Desktop 6.2.2 by Access, which can be downloaded from the Support & Downloads link above...you might have to lie and tell it you have a different device, because PD 6.2 is technically not compatible with older Palm devices. Then, after you install PD 6.2, go to www.pimlicosoftware.com and download/install the free PalmHotsyncSetup utility, which should add compatiblity for your device.
Note, this will probably only work if your desktop is 32-bit Vista. If your Vista desktop is 64-bit, your only hope of syncing is Infrared beaming because there are no 64-bit drivers. You'd also need to use an infrared (IRDA) adapter on your computer.
You also have a non-sync option of installing applications to your Zire, by first copying the .prc file to a Secure Digital card using a card reader on your computer, then putting the SD card into your Zire and using the Copy command to Copy the file from the SD card to the Zire's memory. The file should be put in the /palm/launcher folder on the card first, then you can copy it to internal memory.
Then i set it for Newer Palm PIM devices. Thanks!

Can't install Palm Desktop 4.14, 4.2 or 6.2

Help!
I can not install any version of Palm Desktop. I had a working version of 6.2, but with Palm support, tried to uninstall and reinstall 4.2 (for compatibility reasons). After several weeks everyone has given up. I run Windows XP Pro, SP3, am the only user on my computer, have admin rights and do NOT have a handheld. I only use the desktop for the calendar and address book. Now I am lost without it.
I have uninstalled using Add/Remove Programs, deleted Palm and PalmOne folders, deleted every single Palm entry in the registry over and over again. When I try to reinstall, the install stops after the Finish window, but does not continue to the second step which continues the installation with the hotsync options. This is where I would tell it to skip. The Palm.exe and many dlls never get installed on my computer.
Obviously, there is something on my computer that is still remaining. I've seen several posts with the same question, but not an answer that helps. Any thought would be most appreciated. Short of reinstalling the operating system and all software.
TIA.

I am running CA (Computer Associates) Anti-Virus. It used to be called eTrust. Windows Defender is running also. The case is 51395405621. It started on one computer but ended up trying to reinstall 4.2 on mine. I should have left 6.2 on my computer, but didn't. We were trying to get everyone on the same version because we share the calendar. Most of us do NOT sync to a handheld.
Yesterday, I tried installing in safe mode, but it didn't help. Here's what I have tried over the past several weeks (in no particular order): I have uninstalled using Add/Remove programs. I have deleted every Palm, PalmOne and Palm Desktop folder. I tried copying the .exe program from another computer. It tried to start the program but gives and Invalid Configuration error. I can't remember the exact error, but when I researched it, the information I found had to do with administrator rights. But I'm the only user on the computer and I have admin. rights. I also tried installing in safe mode as administrator.
The closest we came is it tries to start Palm Desktop, but gives the error...Invalid Configuration... The splash window for Palm Desktop is an old version per the tech. I didn't look familiar to me, but it was blue and white and the date at the bottom was 2002. He couldn't figure out where it was coming from. So there is obviously something left on my computer that we can't get rid of. Or find. That is the closest we came to getting the program to start. The tech downloaded 4.2 and 6.2 from the Palm website thinking our versions might be corrupt. We ran several utility programs to clean the registry (USBregclean) and another one from Microsoft. (I can't remember what it did.) I talked to Microsoft tech support and my Windows Installer is NOT the problem. It's working fine. The Palm tech took over my computer, added himself as a user, installed under his login. He and I have both deleted every single entry for Palm in the registry. This went on for over 2 weeks. He finally gave up and said there wasn't anything more he could do.
Right now, it's uninstalled, but there are some entries in the registry relating to Palm QuickInstall. I would be happy with absolutely any version installed so I can get into my data again.
Thanks.

Palm Desktop 4.1 for Mac OS & iQue 3600?

I have a Garmin iQue 3600 which I'm trying to HotSync with my existing Palm Desktop 4.1 (Mac OS 10.4.11). Right now it only syncs the Memo Pad.

But I can't find my original disk with Palm Desktop. I looked at Palm.com and the downloads for Desktop 4.1 are for Mac OS9 or Desktop 4.1 Treo/Mac OS X and none mention Garmin iQue. I'm so confused!

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.

Palm desktop for T|X

I upgraded from T|X to Treo 755p. Everything worked as it should--palm desktop, syncing--everything. But I couldn't get my email. I called tech support to see if I could downgrade the VersaMail program from the Treo version to the T|X version, because I wanted to get my email from a sync rather than my Treo going to the internet. The tech suggested I insert my T|X disc to see if I could install the T|X VersaMail to the Treo. Then as he was transferring me to someone else, we got cut off. Next day's tech explained that downgrading the VersaMail could not be done.
Low & behold my Treo crashed almost as soon as I'd hung up. Long story short, I returned my Treo, uninstalled the Treo desktop and re-installed the T|X desktop. My T|X syncs perfectly, BUT my Palm desktop will not load! Two desktops try to open (ea 1 a different color), the computer flickers black & then I get an error message: "Palm Desktop Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I clicked the "Send error report" and the "Debug" buttons several times.

You will need to do a "clean uninstall" of Palm Desktop. Here are the instuctions for XP;
1. Backup users folder located at one of these locations:
C:\Palm\(palm desktop username folder)
c:\program files\palmone\(palm desktop username folder)
c:\program files\palm\(palm desktop username folder)
2. Uninstall(remove) Palm desktop in control panel-add\remove programs.
3. On the start menu, in the run box, type regedit.
4. Before making any changes you need to backup the registry. Click on file-export and then save in a location you can remember, like My Documents.
5. Now go to the following Keys and delete the Palm folders. Be very careful at this point.
HKEY_Current_User\Software\(delete)Palm desktop autorun
HKEY_Current_User\Software\(delete)Palm
HKEY_Current_User\Software\(delete)Palmone
HKEY_Current_User\Software\U.S.Robotics(delete Palm entries only)
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\(delete)Palmsource
6. Close registry.
7. Go to C:\ and C:\Program files, see if the Palm folders are gone.
8. Restart the PC
9. Reinstall Palm Desktop.

64-bit Windows 7 Pro's Windows XP Mode, Palm Desktop 4.1.4 sync with Palm Vx?

I last talked about Palm Desktop compatibility with 64-bit Windows at http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=software&message.id=37767. Fortunately, I haven't replaced my laptop yet, so I am in the enviable(?) position of planning the acquisition of a spanking new machine with 64-bit Windows 7 Pro (sidenote: likely a 14" ASUS). However, my PDA is still Palm Vx, which requires Palm 4.1.4, which requires 32-bits, which is provided in Windows 7 Pro by its Windows XP Mode. Has anyone heard any word of whether XP mode allows seamless sync'ing through the serial or IR ports? Serial is most preferrable, of course, due its speed, lack of headaches with line-of-sight alignment, and the fact that it needs to be docked anyway for recharging.
I'm not sure if it's as dependent on the Palm Desktop version as much as it depends on the Hotsynch Manager, which is 4.1.0. There are probably certain Hotsynch Manager versions that are compatible with Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and Palm Vx.
