Tungsten E2 Calender

Hi all. I am trying to set up a NOS E@ for my wife. I did a sync with the Palm desktop that was already on my PC from a previous E2. All of her info and programs transfered but each time I switch the calender from day to week, month or year view it displays 2005 even though i initially set the E2 for 2011.  Pain in the butt to have to scroll to 2011 every single time. Any ideas?  thanx  --Marty  Anuthaz@aol.com

If you sync with another username in PD, there may be settings from that username that are affecting your E2. Try the procedure below. Another option would be to export the data from the original username you sync'ed with, create a new username in PD, import the data into the new username, hard reset your HH then sync with the new username with conduits set at desktop overwrites HH.

 

You may need to hard reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb2/common/article/887_en.html 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.

 

The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.

Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.

http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb2/common/article/28734_en.html
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.

With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.

Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.

With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.
