Z22 and Vista (again)

I just spent $25 on the phone to confirm with Tech Support that my Z22 is USELESS with Vista until they upgrade Palm Desktop.  No matter what I do, it will not sync.  The good news is, my data is not lost from the handheld.  Bad news is, that's what I'll be working on for the foreseeable future.  They had no ETA on when a new Vista-compatible Desktop will be coming out (days, weeks, months?) & could only say that "sometimes they work, most of the time they don't."  Gee- thanks.  So, be warned.  Do not waste your time or money trying to get help from the tech folks- their hands are tied.

debmarie, just as we have asked every person on this forum who posts a "Vista" question, I ask you now:  "Which version do you have?  32bit Vista, or 64bit?"
There are several large threads on the subject already in existence here.  Have you read any of them?

  • Z22 and Vista

    I'm new here so if this has been covered somewhere just let me know where to look.
    I just purchased a Z22 and I haven't opened the box yet.  I want to make sure that it is compatible with Vista.  I downloaded PalmdesktopWin62 and ran the install.  It stopped partway through and said it could not upgrade the version already installed.  Well, I haven't installed anything yet.  but if I go to Control Panel, it shows that Palm software has been loaded (I suspect it is really showing the partial installation I was running) but when I try to uninstall it, I eventually get the message that dll PalmdevC is missing and the uninstall terminates. 
    So, can someone tell me definitively whether the Z22 is compatible with Vista, and then help me figure out where I should go from here to get it loaded?
    Thanks~

    You need to do a "clean" uninstall of Palm desktop. After the uninstall, install the version of Palm desktop that you got with the Z22.
    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.
    You don't need to do the first step above.
    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.
    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 from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
    you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
    did not sync before create a hotsync name.

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
    The forums are loaded with many threads about Vista and Palm Desktop issues, and the main Support page (the large organge Support tab above) also has a link to Vista support information.
    Please start with this thread stickied at the top of the Windows Hotsync board, which has a link to the Vista support page.  You'll need to download and install the new Vista-compatible Palm Desktop software.

  • When I open FireFox i get the blue screen of death and then vista restarts. I get to login and then afterthe welcome window it crashes and restarts again. I can open in safe mode but if I open firefox again it restarts this loop.

    The other day I opened firefox after the latest update in September. Firefox then closes and then i get logged off and vista(32 bit) restarts. I get back to login and when I try to login it gives me the blue screen and restarts again with the selection screen (start in safe mode....)I was able to login on safe mode and then on admin afterwards. Thinking the problem was just an error I went back and opened firefox on my account and the loop started again. I was forced to remove firefox but I want ti back and I want to know how this can be fixed so I can put it back on my computer.

  • Home Sharing with iTunes 9 and Vista

    I just downloaded and installed iTunes 9 on both of my Vista boxes. I am trying to use the Home Sharing feature. I clicked on Advanced> Turn On Home Sharing. I enter my Apple account info and click Create Home Share. A box pops up that says Home Sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the account "myusername". Please authorize this computer and try again.
    So, I clicked on Store> Deauthorize computer.
    Then, I clicked on Store> Authorize computer.
    It gave me a pop up that says something like you have authorized two of your 5 available computers.
    I tried turning on Home Sharing again and still got the same error that this computer is not authorized.
    Then, I tried going to Store> Sign Out
    Then Store> Sign In and doing the deauthroize/authorize process again.. still same results.
    So, lastly, I tried going to Store> View My Account and deauthorizing ALL computers... so that reset my authorizations.
    Then I signed out of the store, signed back in, authorized both machines... still I get the error on both that the computer is not authorized so it cannot turn on Home Sharing.
    Any suggestions?

    in order for home sharing to work
    (a) iTunes on all machines must be authorized for the same iTunes store account
    (b) all machines must be on the same network
    (c) all machines must have access to the internet.

  • Z22 and 6.2 software issues

    I have a Z22 and downloaded the latest software update - 6.2. I am using Windows Vista. At first it wouldn't download, after several tries, it completed the
    download.
    I was initially able to sync my Z22 and the computer, then it would lock up the computer and the Z22 when it was almost through the process. Now it wont
    connect to the computer via the cable. I have deleted and reloaded the software but it hasn't changed the above issues. 
    I suspect it is related to Vista, which is on my lap top as I have XP on my desk top and I have no problems syncing the computer and Z22.
    Can anyone assist me with these problems?
    thanks 
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

     sorry to bother you but i have an issue similar except i have windows xp and cant sync my z22 with the palm os 6.2 since i recently downloaded it. The difference is my computer and palm act like they are syncing but no info changes on either the desktop or the palm. Any suggestions.  Good luck with your issue

  • Remote app and Vista firewall issues

    Hi All
    I have searched through the forums for a satisfactory solution, but without success. I have followed and tried the suggestions from the FAQ sections and Apple support documents without success. Several people are or have experienced the same problem but no satisfactory solution (that I can find) has been offered.
    I have iPod Touch 4 gen latest with os 4
    Vista latest update, on Toshiba laptop
    trying to use Remote app to control ITunes (most recent version)
    If I turn the firewall off, Remote app works flawlessly
    When firewall turned on, Ipod Touch connects with ITunes but cannot find the Library
    iTunes is listed as an exception in Firewall but when you check the box, it does not stay checked as an exception and will not let Remote find the Library
    Have gone through all the firewall suggestions
    have reinstalled iTunes and Bonjour
    nothing I do seems to keep the iTunes checked in the Firewall settings
    Can anyone point me to the answer to this problem?????

    I had the same problem, I wasn't able to either check or remove the itunes firewall exception. Which lead to the unability to connect with Remote. Which was strange because after i installed iOS5 and updated to itunes10 my phone could wirelessly sync with my PC, but the remote still wouldnt work.
    After trying the suggested methods with no results, I just uninstalled iTunes from the control panel, then dowloaded and installed again. Remote worked fine upon reinstall. iTunes is now checked under firewall exceptions and deleteable aswell.

  • Creative Zen Vision M 30gb and Vista.

    Is there a way to get a Creative Zen Vision M 30gb to work on a Vista computer? It will save me buying my son a new MP3 player. Thanks.

    I've been in touch with Creative support for over a week now but so far without success. Every time I download links they suggest I still can't access Creative Media Explorer, I just keep getting this error message:-
    "The Creative Media Explorer that is compatible with this device is not installed. Please reinstall the application and try again"
    This has included deleting all previously installed Crteati've files as well as downloading in a 'Clean Boot'. I've also rebooted my Zen Vision M.
    At this rate I'll have to bin the Zen and look at an ipod:manmad:

  • Trying to Hot Sync Visor Pro with Windows 7 (64 bit OS) - getting error: "The connection between your handheld computer and the destktop could not be establishe​d. Please check your setup and try again."

    Hi.
    I read the posting regarding the options on Hotsyncing for Windows 7; however, I have some questions as I have a 64-bit system.
    I have a Visor Pro that I'm trying to Sync up with my new laptop which is running Windows 7.
    Steps I have taken:
    * installed the Visor Palm Desktop 3.0.1 that came with the Visor (which the installation went well)
    * The issue arises when I push the "Sync" button on the cradle and the following error message appears "The connection between your handheld computer and the destktop could not be established.  Please check your setup and try again."
    Since I have a 64-bit OS it appears that I have 2 options: 1) bluetooth or 2) Infrared.
    I have to admit I don't know know how to do either of these (how can I tell if this Handspring Visor Pro has bluetooth (which I don't it does)?). 
    Then how about the Infrared option?  I see on the PDA it has a red area that one can "beam" info.  Is this the same as Infrared or my 2nd option?
    I love my Visor and want to continue using it, but need to backup the valuable info!
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
    THANKS!!!!!
    Post relates to: Visor Pro

    Hello lwalbring and welcome to the Palm forums.
    Your Visor, as you suspect, does not have Bluetooth, so you must use the IR HotSync option.  Since you are using Windows 7 64-bit, I believe that you are going to have to upgrade to Palm Desktop 6.2.2 to make things work from an OS/Driver perspective.
    Since you are using such an old device, you are also going to have to download and install the PalmHotSyncSetup Utility from Pimlico.  This update turns on support for old Palm OS PDAs in Palm Desktop 6.2.2.  Without the update, you won't be able to sync your Visor with Palm Desktop 6.2.2.  The software is free and the link is all the way at the bottom of the screen.
    Lastly, if your PC doesn't have an IR port on it, you will need to purchase a USB to IR adapter.  Some laptops still have IR ports and most desktops don't.
    Once you have all the pieces, you'll want to go back to the Windows 7 and Vista HotSync thread again, and follow the directions for setting up and configuring IR HotSyncs.

  • Airport Extreme, Airdisk, and Vista - large file problem with a twist

    Hi all,
    I'm having a problem moving large-ish files to an external drive attached to my Airport Extreme SOMETIMES. Let me explain.
    My system - Macbook Pro, 4gb ram, 10gb free HD space on macbook, running latest updates for mac and vista, external hard drive on AE is an internal WD in an enclosure w/ 25gb free (its formatted for pc, but I've used it directly connected to multiple computers, mac and pc, without fail), AE is using firmware 7.3.2, and im only allowing 802.11n. The problem occurs on the Vista side - havent checked the mac side yet.
    The Good - I have bit torrents set up, using utorrent, to automatically copy files over to my airdisk once they've completed. This works flawlessly. If i connect the hard drive directly to my laptop (macbook running bootcamp w/ vista, all updates applied), large files copy over without a hitch as well.
    The Bad - For the past couple weeks (could be longer, but I've just noticed it recently being a problem - is that a firmware problem clue?) If i download the files to my Vista desktop and copy them over manually, the copy just sits for a while and eventually fails with a "try again" error. If i try to copy any file over 300mb, the same error occurs.
    What I've tried - well, not a lot. The first thing i did was to make sure my hard drive was error free, and worked when physically connected - it is and it did. I've read a few posts about formatting the drive for mac, but this really isnt a good option for me since all of my music is on this drive, and itunes pulls from it (which also works without a problem). I do however get the hang in itunes if i try to import large files (movies). I've also read about trying to go back to an earlier AE firmware, but the posts were outdated. I can try the mac side and see if large files move over, but again, i prefer to do this in windows vista.
    this is my first post, so im sure im leaving out vital info. If anyone wants to take a stab at helping, I'd love to discuss. Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Just noticed the other day that I am having the same problem. I have two Vista machines attached to TC w/ a Western Digital 500 gig USB'd. I can write to the TC (any file size) with no problem, however I cannot write larger files to my attached WD drive. I can write smaller folders of music and such, but I cannot back up larger video files. Yet, if I directly attach the drive to my laptop I can copy over the files, no problem. I could not find any setting in the Airport Utility with regards to file size limits or anything of the like. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

  • IPod Touch and Vista Ultimate won't get along

    I recently purchased an iPod Touch 16gb and have had some major issues ever since. THis is long winded but that's because without all details I think peopel will tell me to do what i've already tried.
    When I first connected the device up I was prompted to update my iTunes and this completed successfully. Then when loading my music onto the device i got a few errors saying "The iPd cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." and then "Attempting to copy to disk 'xxx' failed. The disk could not be read from or written to. It sounded like a hard disk error but I persevered and managed to get my music loaded.
    Then everything was going to fine for a while until one day I'd left my iPod attached to my PC (Vista Ultimate 32bit) overnight to charge and when I took it to work that day I found that all my music and videos had disapeared. I did some searching and this seemed to have happened to others.
    When I got home and attached the iPod to my computer I was prompted to do a restore. So I kicked this off but part way through I received an error saying "The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occured (9)." And that was it. Dead iPod. It wouldn't turn on and wasn't recognised anymore apart from windows saying "USB Device Not Recognised". Apple replaced this for me thinking it was a hardware problem.
    Unfortunately I had the same problems with the next one. This time however I uninstalled and reinstalled all my apple applications (iTunes, Mobile Device, Quicktime etc.) as mentioned on the support pages. Unfortunately it didn't solve the problem. Once again I recieved the same errors and my music disapeared. This time I did a restore using the iPod menu and that was successful but then I kept getting the sync and write errors so once again I tried a iTunes restore and same again... dead iPod and back to Apple for my 3rd iPod.
    I've now got my third one and am having the same issues. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the apple products many times, updated my USB drives and windows is completely to date. I've also created another user in Vista and get the same problem. I have a feeling this has something to do with the Apple Mobile Device Support but am not too sure as i've unistalled and reinstalled it a number of times.
    Any advice or tips appreciated before I brick my 3rd touch and ask for a refund!
