I'm sorry to hear that your experiencing this issue, however, I can be of assistance. Does your Palm Zire 71 power on because you indicated that it stops working? If the device stops working, when does it stop working?

Hot sync says Palm Zire has successfully synced but no data (using Windows 7 32 bit)

We have a Win XP desktop on which an older version of Palm Desktop has been working for years and been able to sync with my Palm Zire and my husband's Palm Z22. Now that we have to decomission Win XP desktop have installed Palm Desktop by Access v6.2.2 and Hotsync v7.0.2 on Win 7 32bit laptop.
My husband has a Palm Z22 and has had no problems setting up user and syncing using Palm Desktop by Access when using Windows 7. However, although the Palm Desktop has correctly indentified by device as a Zire and hotsync via cable says it completes successfully no data appears on the Desktop. In reverse, when I add a new contact on Palm Desktop and sync it does not appear on the handheld.
Have tried downloading and installing driver from:
http://aceeca.com/support/sales-support/downloads/product/drivers-32-bit-usb-windows-driver-for-palm...
However, when I followed the instructions provided with teh 64 bit download my laptop said I already had most up to date driver!
Please help as I rely on my Zire and need it to back up successfully.

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!
The Aceeca drivers are ONLY for 64-bit Operating Systems. Since yours is 32-bit, it's not needed.
Try right-clicking on the shortcut for Palm Desktop, then choose "Run as Administrator". See if the data appears.
Another suggestion would be to turn off "UAC" or User Access Control. Control Panel/Users/Turn off UAC.

Hot synch old Zire 72 with new Treo Pro

Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Sprint)

So it's quite simple, but does require a little work.
First thing you need to do is get your data out of Palm desktop and into Microsoft Outlook.
There are two ways to do this
1.) sync your Zire 72 to Outlook
2.) Use a program called pocket copy from www.chapura.com and do a one time transfer of everything automatically for you
Once the data is in Outlook just sync your Pro to the same Outlook profile.

How do I use a Zire 21 with Vista?

I synched a Zire 72 with the Access desktop (6.2.2) on Vista for over a year with no problems. My 72 is now dead. I now have a Zire 21 but it won't sync.
From the forum, I see someone else has had this problem and solved it, but I am not sure I understand the sollution.
Can anyone tell me what steps I have to take to get my 21 to work?

Are you sync'ing the new device to the same username in Palm Desktop as an older device?
If you are, this will cause problems on the new device. When you sync the device, it saves the device settings, 3rd party apps, preferences, etc. in the backup folder in the username folder on the PC. When you sync the new device it copies the contents of the backup folder for the old device to the new device. This will cause corruption in the settings for the new device thus causing erratic behavior of the new device.
You may need to hard reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over you will need to rename your backup folder, to do that go here;
XP
C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Vista
Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
tasks, and memos will come back over.
Show file extensions for XP or Vista
XP
If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a
folder go to Tools-->Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
Vista
Open control Panel go to Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
Another option is to create a new username in palm desktop, export the data from the current name and import into the new username.

Battery and charging issues with a Zire 31

I understand this machine is old and may no longer supported...but mine has just started doing some crazy things. First...cannot charge using the normal charging device which came with the unit when purchases. It just does not make any connection. Have been recharing using its USB port through trickle charging. The unit get charged, but when you unplug from my desktop usb connection, the charge only last about 10 minutes and the machine goes dead again. All the user manual tells you is how to charge it up...but no advice of what to do if that no longer functions.
Does anyone know if this older Zire 31 can be repaired?

Is Palm Zire 21 Software compatible with Palm Pre Plus Cell Phone?

I have an older Palm Zire 21. I love all the features. However, now I am trying to consolidate my Windows (vista) Calendar with my Palm and it is not compatible. I thought I would purchase the newer Palm Pre plus Cell Phone in order to have all of my contacts and calendars on my phone as well as my laptop. Though no one can seem to answer my question: Can I import my contact and calendar from my Zire 21 to the Palm Pre Plus?
Many thanks to who can answer this for me. I greatly appreciate your time and assistant.

webOS (the new Operating System) from Palm does not natively sync to your computer, but to the "cloud" (online servers).
Palm offers a program that will read your Palm Desktop information, and transfer it to Google. This is only a one-time transfer, and not a sync solution. See this thread.

My notebook died (vista) so I had to buy a Windows 7 hp model.
Now I could install the software but the PC doesn't recognize my handheld device.
A sync is not possible.
Can anybody tell me how I can make my device known to the system or do I have to leave the Palm world altogether an buy me an ipod?
I would really like to keep syncing with my palm.
Thanks in advance.

Device Driver Software for Zire Z22

I have a Zire Z22 palm unit and am using Windows Vista on a desktop computer. I have loaded the special Palm Desktop Software suggested for Vista. But, when I connect the Palm using the USB cable and hit the hotsync button I get a message that the device driver software must be installed. It tries to search for the needed driver, but doesn't find it, not even on the Palm software disk. Where can I find the device driver software to download so I can hotsync?
Post relates to: Zire

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
There are more than one kind of Vista...32 bit or 64 bit. If your Vista machine is 64 bit, you are limited to syncing via IR (infrared) beaming. Please review the threads "stickied" near the top of the Windows Hotsync board about syncing a Z22 with 64-bit Vista.
If your Vista desktop is 32 bit, you might need to do a clean uninstall and reinstall. Stickies have that information as well.
BTW, I am moving this thread to the Windows Hotsync board.

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
Post relates to: Zire 71

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.

Calendar doesn't sync: Zire 31 & Windows XP Pro

Friends, this is similar to another posting but I couldn't understand the replies. I got a new PC at work, installed my Palm software and successfully synced, except Calendar data did not transfer to/from Outlook. There were some other oddities too, noted below.
Here is the sync log I got last week:
OK Quick Install
Outlook Notes
- Recovery Sync
The Outlook conduits have been upgraded from a previous version and the first synchronization was successful.
OK Outlook Notes
Outlook Calendar
OLERR:0D-000F
OLERR:0D-0004
OLERR:0D-0001
- Recovery Sync
Outlook Calendar synchronization failed
And here is one I got this morning:
OK Quick Install
OK Note Pad
OK Tasks
OK Memos
OK Photos
OK Calendar
OK Contacts
-- Backing up Saved Preferences to C:\Program Files\palmOne\HublerE\Backup\Saved_Preferences.PRC
OK Backup
HotSync operation completed on 04/16/07 10:41:10
Still, no data transferred.
Other oddities: there was an error message at some point about several appointments from 1970 and 1971 (which of course don't exist); and the Contacts categories that I had set up on my handheld were wiped out and replaced with the factory defaults. Any contact that was in a category that I'd created myself is now "unfiled."
Thank you.

to have palm desktop work, you must install it on the account that you are going to sync it with, and that account must have administrator privileges, fast user switching is located in control panel, select classic view, and double click on user accounts click on "change the way users log in and out" then un-check"use fast user switching!

Palm Zire 31 sat idle for too long and then my hard drive crashed - I have recovered my palmOne files from the hard drive but don't know how to install to desktop?

Since this product is no longer supported by the manufacturer, I hope that someone out there will be able to help me find a way to get my calendar and contacts restored to the desktop. My handheld sat unused for a very long time, but my desktop calendar and contacts were current up until my hard drive crashed. I was able to recover the PalmOne files from the crashed hard drive but all I can see are *.dat files. When I try to import or restore, the *.dat is not a supported file extension. HELP! I have the original installation CD. Thank you

.dat are the actual working files Palm Desktop is looking for - you can't import them.
Just create a user in Palm Desktop and copy the .dat files (that have more than 1k of data) over the existing address.dat and datebook.dat (or calendar.dat, I forget which existed on your device).

WINDOWS 8 DID NOT SUPPORT MY PALM ZIRE 72 PROGRAM. LOST ALL DATA.

My new windows 8 computer does not support my Palm Zire 72 software. I had my handheld charged, but unplugged and lost all my data since there was no backup. I have my old hard drive with most of the backup on it. Is there any way I can get this data back. It was YEARS of contacts that I lost. Thanks for your help.

vhk,
Win 8 does support Palm desktop software for Zire 72.
I have been using it for 3 months with no problems.
If you have 64bit Win 8 you need to download and install the Aceeca driver to HotSync.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Palm-OS-WinMo-Hardware-and-Software/64-Bit-Windows7-8-8-1-USB-drivers-f...
I have my Windows UAC (User account Control) set to Never Notify.
I set the Palm Desktop/ Properties/Compatibility to Run this program as administrator
I use the same PD software (4.14e) on Vista, Win 7, and Win 8 ( I HotSync my Zire 72 on all 3 PCs weekly)
When you install the PD software skip check the internet for updates step.
If you can find your Palm desktop user folder on the old hard drive you might be able to copy it and paste it into the palmOne folder when you have Palm Desktop installed on the Win 8 PC.
User folder path for PD 4.1for XP & Vista is: Computer (C drive)/Program Files/ palmOne/User ID (same as Zire 72 last Hotsync)
User folder path for PD 4.1for Win 7 & 8 is: Computer (C drive)/Program Files (x86)/ palmOne/User ID (same as Zire 72 last Hotsync)
If you had a long user ID on the Zire 72 it will be shortened to 5 or 6 characters in the palmOne folder.

Zire 71 Hot Sync

Help!!!
My old computer died, and I have a new PC with Windows 7 and 64-bit architecture.
I have installed the Palm OS and copied my data files over to the new PC, and I can run the Palm program on the new PC.
Howerer.........the Hot Sync feature will not work, and I am guessing it must be the move from 32-bit to 64-bit, but I have no idea how to resolve this issue.
Can anyone help? [email protected]
Many thanks in advance.

Palm Zire 21 hot sync

Installed Palm desktop 6.2 on Windows 7 64 bit machine. Downloaded USB drivers that installed correctly per the forum. Syncing on Palm Zire 21 log says it successfully completed but the Palm desktop software has no addresses, calendar, memos or to do list. Any ideas?

The Zire may be too old for 6.2.2, but there is a patch that can work.
Go here: http://www.PimlicoSoftware.com/legacy.html and download "PalmHotsyncSetup"
When you clicked on the user in Palm Desktop, was there another listed?

Sync'ing a Palm Zire 72 with Windows 7 (Home Premium 64)

Ok I am probably a dinasour but have relied on my Zire 72 for years for all the contacts and calendar items I don't want to keep on my phone but now cannot get it to sync with Windows 7. I never used Vista, migrated straight from XP to Windows 7 but have read all the threads on Vista and hot sync'ing. I know I apprently can't use the direct USB cables as there are no 64 bit drivers from palm for this so I purchased the recommended USB-1510 IRDa adaptor. Even though Cables Direct does not seem to have Windows 7 drivers, Windows 7 appeared to recognize and accept the Vista 64 drivers and the adaptor seems to be recognized. I am using Hotsync 4.1.0 and Palm Desktop 4.1.4. Have tried everything, soft resets of the Palm, reboots of both the computer and palm, reinstallation of the software, etc and cannot get these to sync. I either get the message that the connection cannot be established or once or twice that the port was being used by another process.
Does anyone have any suggestions before I competely give up. Many thanks!
Post relates to: Zire 72

I have hotSync Manager 6.0.1 and while the Zire 72 will NOT sync over the USB cable it will sync over a Bluetooth connection. You need to have a Bluetooth interface either built into the computer or a Bluetooth USB plug in device. Then you have to set up the channel by making both devices visible to other devices once they recognize each other you have to follow the dircetions in Windows 7 for making it a trusted device. After they are trusted devices they will sync over Bluetooth which is slower that using a straigth USB cable but it works.
This is also the way you can sync a Palm LifeDrive and HP Ipaq with SW on Windows 7. Yes I have all three and this was the easiest way so I could make them sync up suing the same interface. The Lifedrive and HP Ipaq can also sync over WIFI but this was easier for me since all the devices use the same interface, i.e. no remembering special setups.
I am running WIn 7 Home Premium and I am using Palm Desktop Application 4.1.4 for all Palm syncs. I have 2 Zire 72 Palms and 1 Life drive. They all come up in that Palm Desktop Application allwoing me to copy things from one to the other.

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!
