Windows Vista 64 bit Hot Sync w/Zire 71

The Zire 71 is not a wireless unit so I can not sync via Bluetooth.  I tried infra red, and although the PC and the Zire can connect, they can not communicate.  It seems before we can use an infrared sync, we must sync via cable.  But Vista doesn't recognize the Zire when hooked by cable, and Palm has no fix.
Anyone find a fix to this?  I like the Zire and it's perfect for me, but Palm doesn't support hotsync with the new Windows O/S.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks

Thanks for your input ...
When trying to sync, the IR icon in the PC tray shows communication with a device, but nothing further happens.  After 20 seconds or so the Palm times out and displays an error message ..... Connection with PC failed.
I have the Palm set to local and to IR/PC connection.  The Hotsync connections are set to IR, and USB.  There is not a local selection choice in Hotsync connections.
Any further thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks for taking the time to help.

  • 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

  • Vista 64-bit Hot Sync and Palm Desktop

    Does anyone know when Hot Sync and Desktop will be available for 64-bit Vista?
    Thanks, Bob.
    Post relates to: Zire 21

    At this time there is no ETA on any, if any, cabled solution for syncing palm os devices to Vista/XP 64 bit machines. There is a bluetooth solution that has been stickied to the top of the hotsync board, that is the best solution available at this time.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to launch firefox 3.6.3 with windows vista? Hot key (ctrl + alt + key) does not work.

    The hot key (ctrl + alt + key) does not work. This is in Windows Vista.

    Thank you Morbus and Cor-el, for your prompt replies. Here's what I did: I've placed the Firefox icon in the quick launch toolbar. So I right-click this firefox icon>Properties>Shortcut tab>in Shortcut Key field, add X (the word "None" changes to "ctrl + alt + X")>Apply>Okay>and that closes the dialog window.
    Then, to try the new launch short-cut, I press and hold down, in order, ctrl, then alt, then x (holding all three down) . . . and nothing launches.
    I thought this would do it! So any further thoughts would be a splendid help ---- many thanx!

  • Window Vista Outlook Calendar Sync Add-ins disabled tips

    If using Windows Vista and having trouble syncing calendar, follow Apple's instructions for disabling add-ins.... BUT ..... run Outlook as an Administrator. If you can't remove some of the add-ins running as an Admin will solve your problem.

    Try this. Forgive me as I am not at my work computer but expericenced exactly the same problems.
    Go to edit your email account and assuming you are using outlook 2003 since I don't 2007 you will need to find the dialog box that says something to the effect of send your information to your personal documents. It is a drop down menu within settings. You will then need to close outlook and open it again. Try syncing your iphone and this worked like a charm for me.
    To sum it up your mail,contacts, and calendar entries are curetnly being stored on your work server. Iphone doesn't like that. When you tell outlook to store these items on your personal documents they then are stored on your hard drive and Iphone loves that. When I first tried doing this I noticed that I didn't have the option to send these items to my persnal files so if that is the case for you you will need to create it by clicking add and just pointing to personal files.
    I hope this helps.

  • Windows Vista vs Calendar Sync for Pocket PC

    Is there a way to get Calendar Sync for Pocket PC to work under Windows Vista? It seem that Active Sync no longer exists in Vista, and Calendar Sync won't install without it.

    Apparently it is still not available. If it is, they're hiding it well... It has been a year since the last update on this thread - does anybody have any better information on Vista support?

  • Installed CS3 with windows vista bit AE won't open.

    When my old faithful computer motherboard fried, I had to get a new computer with Windows Vista Home Premium.
    I had CS3 loaded and working without a glich on my old XP computer.
    I've loaded the whole CS3 suite, but when I open After Effects nothing happens. Using Window's Task Manager, under "Applications" After Effects doesn't show up as a running but under "Processes" the file "AfterFX.exe *32" is listed as running.
    I've also tried uninstalling CS3 and reinstalling it in the directory "Program Files" rather than in the directory "Program Files (x86)" and nothing changed.
    I've tried to opening all the other programs in CS3 with the similar results. Nothing opens, but their .exe files are listed under Task Managers "Processes".
    I'm using this as a vol lic product, so I'm not sure how much tech support I can get.
    Thank you for any help you can give me.

    I'm sorry it didn't work. I probably don't have an answer for you since I'm not an expert or anything.
    One thing I thought was weird was that the software version on my computer for the motherboard was version 6.xx (whatever) and the software I downloaded from the HP web was version 5.xx (whatever). It made it work though..
    I think the update would be on the HP site, not the MSI site. Go to hp.com, downloads, and put in the name of your computer. Download/install whatever motherboard software they have. If that doesn't work, go to the adobe website and search for the document kb402213 and work through that. It's what the person you give Adobe $40 to help you is going to do.
    Good luck. Hopefully this helps.

  • 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 + N95 + Image Store - "Error communi...

    I am trying to store images from my N95 using the Image Store application. This worked beautifully in XP, but after upgrading to Vista, all I get is a dialog box telling me "Error communicating with the phone".
    This happens for both Bluetooth and USB connection, and it doesn't help that I set the Image Store to XP compatability, or run as admin. I really miss the Image Store functionality, it took the fuss out of storing images from the phone completely.
    How can I fix this?
    Details: Nokia N95
    V12.0.013
    19-06-07
    RM-159
    Nokia N95 (03.01)

    Image Store 6.83.0.0
    Best regards,

    There is another cause and cure I think cause I just "fixed" my problem of this kind over many hours of agonising and trying the suggestions above.   Another internet site tells you :
    "This usually happens for the simple reason that Gallery on the S60 device is running and currently holding open one of the files you're trying to backup (and delete). Switch to Gallery on the smartphone, back out of the image or video clip and use 'Exit'. Now try the 'Store images' function again - it should work fine!"
    Unfortunately I couldn't obviously see a photo open in the Gallery. I was trying to store 103 images and I noticed it was stopping at one. I had a look at that one, it was not that important so I deleted it and try again. And it worked! It was as if it was evil, and blocking the software at that point. So it backed up about 70 images and jammed again. Found another image which I remember taking with the camera about a week ago and deleted that one, again not too important. Tried again and it went all the way backing up to a photo I took yesterday.
    So that's it, something is left half open when the photo is saved and it screws up image store when it reaches it. Actually, I think that last image which I took I screwed up by closing the camera cover before it had finished doing its thing. I think now the moral of the story is that the digital camera in my N82 and it's softwared needs some TLC, it is not that robust, you need to give it a few seconds to do it's thing or it half saves these corrupted images. I could view the stuffed up image perfectly on the camera and Im sure there would be a better technical way of properly closing it in symbian rather than deleting it but yay it is solved!!

  • Bluetooth Sync with Windows Vista - 64 bit

    Recently found out that i have to use bluetooth to hot sync to my desktop PC.  It is a 64 bit Windows Vista.  I have the bluetooth device (USB), what do i need to do to the PALM device (T/X) to make sure the sync is appropriate?
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums.  First your computer has to have bluetooth compatibility,  if it is not built in then you will need to purchase a bluetooth dongle.  They are relatively cheap as I have seen them from $2 on up.  Next you would want to follow the following link as it has full instructions how to set it up as well as many other users that will be able to help answer your questions.

  • Unknown error -50 while syncing CONTACTS in Windows Vista 64 Bit & iTunes 9

    My operating environment: Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Bit; iTunes 9.0.2.25. iPod is Classic 80 GB, setup for a hard rive also. Music sync is fine. iPod plays the music tracks fine.
    Problem: Few days back I tried to sync my "contacts" from my Windows Mail. This worked fine. But, I noticed that my Contacts in the Windows Mail had dupicates and not in proper sequence (last name, first name). So, I spent a lot of time in fixing the records in Windows Mail. I then re-synced the revised Contacts with my iPod. The sync process ended quickly normally, but, nothing changed in the iPod - still showing old records. I tried this sync process couple of times, but no chnage!
    Next, I went to Windows Explorer and opened the Computer, and RT-clicked on the iPod icon and opened the properties and deleted the file shown on the hard drive/iPod. and then resynced again. Now I got an error message: "The ipod "--------" cannot be synced. An unlnown error occurred (-50).
    Can some one please tell me: 1) how to sync the contacts so they show my new, revised contacts? and 2) how to get rid of this -50 error?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    I unfortunately have no solution but same error is occuring on mine as well. Also Vista. It happened first 2 days ago after having sync my ipod to latest software 1.1.2 I have then updated to iTunes 9 but no change. Music is seeming to update but the error maintains. If we as user have no idea whom could we contact at apple to get pro help? I mean we are purchasing expensive stuff and we could expect some help. all the best Matt

  • Hot Sync problems with Windows Vista using a Tungsten E2

    Need Help solving a hot sync problem. Have a Tungsten E2, about a year old. Use Windows Vista OS. Can not sync to desktop. It worked fine for awhile then stopped sync'ing. Have reinstalled Palm Software, Have downloaded Palm 6.2. Have deleted all 3rd party apps,,,and their back up files. Particulary,,,,Epocrates apps, Took over my PDA. Installations and updates gets to synchronizing Calender and 'freezes' have left it on overnight figurng lots of data,,,,no progress. I need help. I really enjoy using this equipment.  I use my PDA for all my scheduling of work shifts appts etc. I would appreciate some suggestions. Thanks in advance. Mike.
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    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.
