Windows Vista hotsync using USB infrared adapter and Vx

Using Vista 32 bit and palmdesktop 4.1.4 to hotsync with Palm Vx. I purchased a usb infrared adapter since my computer only comes with usb ports, no serial ports. Got the infrared usb adapter to work, now I am not sure how to configure hotsync manager. Do I select infrared or usb. Selecting infrared doesn't seem to work and the touchscreen then locks up and I have to reset the Vx, which is painful. Any other configuration changes I need to make to get this to work? Thanks

On the Vista PC, if it is 32bit, you can use Palm desktop 4.1.4 and the serial to usb cable.
Here is the link to Palm Desktop 4.1.4

In regards to sync'ing with the MAC using infrared, you will need to do a search on the internet for a USB/infrared adapter for your MAC. Make sure it says it is for a MAC 10.5. There are many different makes and models.

Using USB Highpower Adapter and SL 10.6.1

I am wondering if anyone uses ALFA Networks USB Highpower Adapter 802.11G with Realtek RTL 8187 WLAN Driver and Utility for Mac OS 10.4.
I am 10.6.1 now and this driver causes kernel panic presumably requires update to 10.6 etc.
Has anyone solved this problem or knows where to find appropriate driver/software that will work with 10.6?

Rebuild is at the bottom of the mailbox drop down menu
I had a similar problem that I think began when I tried to send a message and something went wrong. It is definitely a problem at the program end because I have a second computer that worked without disruption.
I have tried the rebuild but that didn't happen because I think the problem is with the account file or something and the issue prevented the rebuild working.
What seems to have worked for me is to archive the mailbox (right click on mailbox - archive) and then delete the account in the preferences settings. I then created a new version of the account (very easy) and it then downloaded all my emails again. It does take a little while and I would recommend logging onto the internet version of gmail and deleteing all the unnecessary emails, especially ones with attachments as they take a while to download again. At least leave it to do it in the middle of the night or something.
Hope that helps.

Hotsyncing a palm centro using a bluetooth adapter and windows vista 64 bit

Please help. I have read and followed all of the other suggestions on this forum and nothing has worked.
I have a palm treo. When I try to hotsync using the bluetooth adapter, it gives me a message stating:
"unable to connect,port is being used by another application".
I have rebooted, soft reset, etc. and still get the same message.
I do not know how to set up another port on the windows vista program. That was one suggestion.
I have selected both bluetooth and serial port under the hot sync manager.
Nothing works.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Hello akashmedehrotra and welcome to the community.....
Windows Vista 64 bit is only sync with a wireless connection. Either Bluetooth or Infra Red. The M515 does not have bluetooth, so you would have to purchase an IR Dongle and sync using Infra Red. You won't be able to sync with the USB cable on your desktop.

Select "export' while in Windoz/Outlook and cerate an export file, then while in MacOS/Outlook select "import" and select the same file to import. You can use a thumb drive to sneakernet the file.

I have a Windows 7 laptop using I tunes 64 and all my music files are
on an external disc. I rarely use I tunes and at one point moved all my files
(including the music files) from one external disc to another without
considering what affect this would have on the I tunes library. When I eventually
attempted to use I tunes, every selected a song from the library resulted in a
message stating that the file couldn't be located. After following some of the procedures
explained in this community I was able to reconnect the library back to where
the associated music files are presently stored. However, there are still 2
problems that need to be corrected. 1) Every song file now has a duplicate. One
file works and the other file will result in the same message stating that the
file couldn't be located. Before there were 4,000 songs in the library, now
there are 8,000 songs. I need to eliminate the 4,000 dead song files. 2) All
the playlists are still associated with the dead song files which makes the
playlists unusable. Can the playlists be reconnected to the usable files
without manually having to recreate them? Thanks in advance for the help.

So am I understanding correctly?
You used your iPod as a hard drive (drag and drop) instead of having iTunes install the music?
If you used drag and drop your choices are different than if you used iTunes to transfer.
Good luck!

With ITunes in Windows Vista, I've attempted to drag and drop a homemade video folder but it doesn't show up in my ITunes library. What should I be doing differently?

With ITunes in Windows Vista, I've attempted to drag and drop a homemade video folder from my Desktop to ITunes on the PC in order to transfer it to my IPad (as per instructions), but it doesn't show up in my ITunes library. What else should I be doing?

Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

If you are traveling in Europe, do you need both an adapter AND a voltage regulator to charge the IPad2 and the iphone? Or, the reverse, will it hurt either if I use both the adapter AND the voltage convertor?

You may only need adapters for the different kind of sockets, depending of the country you want to travel. A voltage converter is not needed.
The Apple power units are multi voltage devices, supporting a range from 110 V to 240 V. as you can see on the labels. O.K. for most of the labels you need a magnifier, but its on them.

Can you connect a usb SuperDrive if you use a lightning to usb camera adapter and a usb hub?

I was just wondering if ypu could connect a usb SuperDrive if you use the lightning to usb camera adapter, a usb hub, and then plug the SuperDrive into the hub. Will it work to play disks, or movies, or something?

No, drive consume too much power.
Try using a wireless flash drive.

HT5639 Can I use usb internet sticks and/ or printers which don't speak apple with boot camp and win 7/ 8?

Hello all,
As a reference point for my technological skills, I work in international development and in timber framed building construction and repair. Beyond Ford full- size pick-ups pre 1993, I mostly employ 19th century systems.
This MacBook Pro is marvelous, but won't read or accept some older printers and usb internet sticks. There is also a problem with windows 8 on many of these international and older/ cheaper US devices. Will a MacBook Pro be able to communicate with them in windows 7 running on Boot Camp, or on any of the other Windows on Mac platforms? Does one work better with old stuff than another? Are any of them simpler/ more intuitive to use than others? Any informtion or suggestions, no matter how basic would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

I have tried it with all 3 options. I tried the first two options with the printer plugged into port 1 on the adapter and the third option with the printer plugged into port 2. This means that I may have effectively installed all 3 options/scripts. Do I need to throw them away and start again?
Running the Choose Serial Port script writes a file that is used in processing print jobs. If you run the script a second time, it will replace the existing file with a new file.
Do I also need to configure these ports in the network settings under System Preferences?
No.
I notice too that no 'location' is given for the Stylewriter II, whereas a location is given for my other (Lexmark) printer, which is connected to the G5 iMac directly via a USB cable.
That is of no consequence. Use of the Location field is optional.
I would suggest you proceed as follows:
1. Go to the /Library/Receipts folder at the root of your hard drive. Delete the item Foomatic for StyleWriter.pkg.
2. Start the installation over from the beginning. Install the Foomatic for StyleWriter software.
3. Run the Choose Serial Port for StyleWriter script. Upon further reflection of your possible use of two Keyspan adapters, I would suggest you choose the serial port with the format USA28X...P1.1 rather than KeySerial1.
4. Run the Add StyleWriter to Printer List.
Try printing a document. If it still does not work, download a troubleshooting script from my website http://webpages.charter.net/mbroughtn/downloads/Test7Stylewriter.command.zip Run the script. Copy and paste the contents of the Terminal window in a reply. That should point to what is going wrong.

My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open iTunes and when I click "check for updates" it asks if I want to update to iTunes 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. What's wrong?

My iTunes won't update on my computer. I have windows vista. I can open up itunes and when I click on "check for updates" it asks if I want to download iTunes version 11.1.5 and I click "Download iTunes" but then nothing happens. Sometimes uptop the loading bar will appear but for only a split second. I have tried restarting, shutting down, I cannot figure out why it won't download. What's happening and how do I fix it?

Try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

Windows Vista - cannot use Bluetooth device TRENDNet TBW-102UB

Hello,
I'm facing a problem that occurs when try to connect Bluetooth device on Satellite A135-S4637 with Windows Vista Home Premium.
The Bluetooth device is a TrendNet TBW-102UB, and at XP it's working just fine.
The error message is "Bluetooth device is not ready".
After install new updates from manufacturer's website the problem still occurs.
Is there any service pack from Vista that fix that kind of problem or it is something relational to Toshiba's Bluetooth software?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hello
Please do not be mad on me but I do not understand relations to Toshiba notebook. Are you 100% sure that all USB ports on your notebook work properly?
If yes the whole thing has something to do with this external device, driver and settings. To be honest the manufacturer must offer Vista compatible software. Do you think so?

What is the exact technical difference between "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" and "Lightning to USB Cable"

Mainly I am interested in attaching the iPhone to a receiver (or car etc.) to play music.
Both the "Lightning to USB Cable" and the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" seem to do the trick. So what is the exact technical difference between the two items?
When connected to a receiver, is the iPhone the USB Master in both cases? Is the USB "Audio Device Class" standard used to transmit audio?

Thanks for all the answers! I think I should specify the use case much more clearly. Sorry for not having done this earlier.
Use Case 1:
When I connect the iPhone to the receiver I can use the Lightning to USB, because the receiver has a female type A, just like e.g. a PC or like the charger. So I would agree that the Receiver must be the USB host, and the iPhone the USB device. This works just fine in my case, with iPhone and iPad.
In this case, the audio goes from the device to the host, or "Audio-in".
Use Case 2:
A friend of mine has a small device that converts USB to Toslink. This thing has a female Mini USB Type A, which is typically used at the receiving side of a USB connection. This device can be connected e.g. to a Mac, and then the Mac can output audio via this device to receiver which accepts optical Toslink signals.
In this case, the audio goes from the host to the device, or "Audio-out".
It is this use case 2 that I am unsure about:
a) Can the Lightning to USB cable be used in this case (assuming that I find the necessary non-standard adapters to actually connect the USB ports)? This would mean that the iPhone can act as a USB host with the Lightning to USB cable.
b) I know that the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter does convert the iPad into an USB host, otherwise it could not read data from a camera. So could this adapter also be used to produce "Audio out" to a USB device that supports receiving music?
If yes, would this also work with an iPhone (as pointed out in another answer, the iPhone does nor support reading pictures from a camera)?

How to use USB Y adapter with HDD 500GB V63700-A

Hi,
My external HDD V63700-A500GB has difficulty working in my USB2.0 4 port adapter.
I thought perhaps it needs more power going into it.
So I bought a USB-Y but I can not figure out how to use it.
It has 2 male USB connector wires and a very small narrow one which does not go into the thin wide socket of the above HDD.
Anybody uses these things to advise me how to?
...... thanx
.....nick

Thanx Joel,
definitely looks like the correct one but, can you give me a link on where to get it?
I keep googling for a "USB-Y cable for external hd" with no luck.
