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,

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.

Palm Centro - Vista - Hot Sync Problem

Hello: I have a Palm Centro (Verizon) and am having major issues hot synching to my new Windows Vista (32 bit) home PC. I continually get the following error message:
"Error: SgConflictNotifier.dll failed a confirmation query and cancelled the sync operation."
"HotSync Error: An application canceled synchronization or failed to respond to a HotSync notification. Please ensure that you are not currently editing data using applications such as Palm OS Desktop or Install Tool (8009)."
I am running Hot Sync Manager 7.0.2 and Palm desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2.
When I tried the Hot Sync operation on my old XP computer, no issues whatsoever. Can anyone help?
Thanks

I am having the same issue as are several people on this board. I have attempted to reinstall the application and reset my Treo but still nothing. I would be interested if there is a fix I am missing.

Hot Sync problem w/Tungston T/X

OK, I've looked through some of the notes about Sync problems but I haven't seen anything exactly like what I experienced.
This past Monday I added some items to my calendar and proceeded to do a Hot Sync. The process completed and stated that there was a problem and to check the Sync Log. The following was in the Sync Log:
-- 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
Well, I'm not sure how this happened but ALL the records in my calendar were deleted!!! A check of my datebook .DAT and .BAK files shows that both are at 1,682K. So they don't appear to be empty.
I think I ran into this problem over a year ago with an older PALM (but it was with my addresses) although I don't remember how it got corrected but I did have back up data on two different computers so I managed to get things back to normal.
One more point, after the 2nd Sync failed to restore the data I upgraded Hot Sync to 6.2 but that didn't help either.
Evidently there's a limit on the amount of data to be stored in the calendar (and probably the other functions). What I can't believe is that since there is a limit why doesn't the PALM software warn the user that the limit is about to be reached so problems can be avoided?
Any help in this would be appreaciated.
One more point...this situation is with my laptop running XP. I have a much older desktop that is also running XP and the PALM software (4.2) but I haven't sync'd on the desktop since September...but it's address.bak file is bigger than the one on my laptop (1,798K).

BH-Hook, thanks for the db error information. I've procured the software you recommended and it corrected a number of problems in the calendar db. There was a message from that software that said to make sure that on my next sync that the handheld should update the desktop. I remember that there was a place to select this but I can't find it now with the newer software. Does the new Hot Sync software just assume that the handheld always updates the desktop or is there some secret place to select this option. So if you see this let me know what you if the handheld always updates the desktop or is there some place to make this selection? I've looked in the help files too and found nothing about this.
Thanks.

First time hot sync problems

I've had to reinstall palm and hot sync applications for a tungsten E2 handheld. When I try to do the hot sync for the first time, it askes me for my handhelds password. When I type in what I know is the correct password, it is not accepted. I've double checked what the password is, it just won't accept it, any suggestions?

Are there any Capital Letters in the password?

8520 Windows Vista Contact Sync problem

I recently added all my contacts from windows vista contacts and for some reason it assigned picutres to people who had no picture assigned from other pictures of people in my contacts, any suggestions.
Is there a way to do a mass removal of all contacts on device?
Thanks!

I have the same problem, when I sync the contacts they pass well from outlook to my iphone, but not the way around, indeed it changes my iphone contacts information and dismisses all the inputs that I already made in the iphone.

"Windows iTunes Audio Sync Problem"

any idea when apple will be fixing this problem that has been going on for months now?
the majority of computers are PCs. The majority of iTunes users are on PCs, fix this for the majority of your users.
movie sound should be synced with the movie. when we talk our lips move as the words come out, it should be the same in a movie viewed with iTunes.

after perusing these forums, i see this problem has been going on for over a year now. i have tried all the '"solutions", none of them worked.
Will apple ever fix the issue, or do they expect everyone on a 64bit windows machine to switch to a mac?

Windows 7 App Sync Problem

I installed Windows 7 back in October and my calendars and contacts sync just fine. I have never been able to get apps or music back on the phone. When I click on my apps and pick the location I want them it appears fine, but when I click "apply" it does a synce and the apps fall off the screen locations I put them and they do not sync.
Anyone have any idea what I need to change to get the apps and music on my phone with windows 7?

I figured it out. Itunes thought it was a new computer because of new software. I just had to authorize it as a new computer. It works now.

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.
Any suggestion?

Photo sync problem with Windows Vista?

I did some searching and was wondering if there is a solution to the photo sync problem with Windows Vista. I have gone the route of changing some of my photos to bitmap files but this is was way too much work just to view on ipod. I like to email Apple but could not find a link to do so. As far as I know I have all updates but still the iPod does not sync photos. Is there an update to this that I am missing or am I stuck changing all my photos to .bmp files?
Thanks,
Dean.

I checked out the article and not much help, thanks anyway.
Would it make a difference if I purchased Adobe Photo Album or would I still be stuck with changing and saving files to .bmp extensions? I have Adobe Photoshop album starter but still have to change file extensions.
If someone has a solution to this problem I would really be greatfull. I did contact Dell as this is a brand new computer and that was a wash. They did give me a number for Apple but of course I bought the iPod off of ebay and has no warranty on it so unless I pay a fee I'm not calling. It just blows my mind that Microsoft and Apple can't or won't come up with a fix. But I guess when Microsoft wants you to buy the Zune or Apple wants you to buy the overpriced Macintosh why would they waste time on having there products compatible with each other.
Thanks.

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!

ITunes on Windows 8 Syncing Problems Solved!

NOTE: I have only had this problem on Windows 8, not Windows 7, so if you're having trouble on Windows 7, this might not help you.
If you are experiencing the issue where your device never fully syncs, disconnects halfway through, freezes after "waiting for changes to be applied," then I believe this solution will help you.
Follow these steps:
1) Locate your iTunes.exe file. This can be found by the following path: Start--> All Apps (little arrow that appears on bottom left of screen when you mouse over it) -->This PC (on the far right) --> whatever drive you installed iTunes on (if you are not sure, it is the C drive by default) --> Program Files (x86) --> iTunes --> in this folder you will see a file labeled "iTunes.exe" or just "iTunes" make sure you're NOT on the "iTunesHelper" icon for the next step.
2) Right-click on the file and hit "Properties"
3) Click the tab labeled "Compatibility"
4) Check the box labeled "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
5) Click the drop-down menu just underneath that check box and choose "Windows 7"
6) Now check the box labeled "Run this program as an administrator
7) Click "Apply"
8) Click "Ok"
9) All done! Now try syncing whatever device was giving you trouble and it should work. My iPhone had to sync about 3000 songs and it failed about halfway through, but all I had to do was restart the sync and it finished the remaining 1500 or so.
Just thought I should offer this tip for those of you running Windows 8 and having syncing problems .

Yes that is a standard fix:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Problem Hot Syncing my Palm 105 under OS X 10.4.4

I get the message on the M105: "Your handheld computer & the desktop could not be established ..."
I am connecting the M105 via a USB/Serial cable, which works when I connect it to the USB port on my PC laptop. I have had it connected to the IMAC at start up.
I have installed Palm OS 4.2.1. I decided to try iSync and enabled Isync for the palm. ISync recognized the palm and told me to press the hot sync button on the M105. Before Isync completed, the M105 gave the "non-connection" message above. Isync help info. suggests syncing with Palm Hot Sync manager before using Isync. However, I was unable to do that -- I kept getting the same message on the M105. The Isync log indicates that it connected, but the M105 sure didn't think so, and my address/date info is not in the Palm desktop.
The Missing Sync tool does not list the M105 as being supported.
What to do?

Your assumption is correct -- that's what I'm trying
to do. The Radio Shack cable goes from serial to USB
and I hook the M105 to that cable and then into the
USB port on the Mac. It does work on the USB port on
the Dell machine. On the Dell, I do the same thing
I'm trying to do on the MAC. I connect the M105 to
the Radio Shack serial to USB cable and hook it into
the USB port. On the Dell laptop, I can also connect
the M105 without the Serial/USB cable to the serial
port on the Dell. Either way it works.
So, if I understand correctly, you're saying I need
to buy the kit from Palm, or if I buy the Keyspan
cable, does it also come with a matching OS X
driver?
Doesn't the Palm 4.2.1 Version A Desktop that I
download for OS X come with the matching OS X
driver? When I do the download, it asks me for the
device and for the MAC OS.
Thanks again
I had presumed that you were indicating that you
intended to synchronize an m105, using its serial
interface, to a Macintosh. A serial to USB
converter
is required in that case, similar to those
suggested
above, because your m105 is a serial device and
your
Macintosh has no serial port.
The serial to USB converter is a kit, containing
both
a hardware adapter and a matching OS X driver.
Without both, your m105 cannot communicate with a
Macintosh through its USB port.
I have now successfully hot synced the Palm 105 under OS X 10.4.4. I purchased a Keyspan 19HS USB Serial Adapter. I tried the installation over the weekend, and it didn't work. I entered E-Mail on their web site to give details but didn't hear back from them. Today (Thurs. 2/9/06), I called their support telephone no. I nice tech support person guided me through downloading a beta version of their software, necessary for OS X10.4.4, and lo and behold, it all worked.
I'm giving these details in case someone else has this problem -- may save you some time.
Thank you to Michael Lafferty for his good advice.

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?
