Windows HotSync

[#1]

My Treo 650 from Verizon works perfectly. It also syncs perfectly to my computer, installing any new programs I have que'd to and not having any sort of trouble.

Palm Desktop 6.2.2 is my default program for handling any sort of files for palm, but when it's opened there is absolutely NOTHING that my palm has sync'd showing up for it. No phone contacts, dates, anything.

I don't have a data plan, so I don't use Outlook or have any contacts or addresses in there, but shouldn't my phone contacts and calendar dates be backed up and showing up on Palm Desktop?

Thanks in advance for any help in resolving this.

In the top right hand corner of the Palm desktp there is a user drop down menu. Confirm that it is set to the same user displaying in hotsync on the Treo.

Yes, it is the username that I sync the palm to. Still nothing there.

Right click the hotsync icon in the system tray and go to Settings. Then go to applications. Put a check in show details.  Next to either Address book or Contacts. Do you see the word Outlook anywhere?

Yeah, both for the Calendar and the Address Book it has (Outlook) right there. But I don't use Outlook and don't have an email address book imported. I just want the contacts and calendar appointments from my phone to show up.

Thanks again.

All right. Currently the Palm desktop is set to sync to Outlook. But you want it to sync to Palm desktop. On the PC goto START, All Programs then Palm. You should see PIM conduit sync. Select sync with Palm Desktop.

I have Win 7 64. I finally got it to hotsync with my Tungsten E2.  Final trick was only having Bluetooth selected as communication and deselecting serial.  It went through a long sync including all my things : notepad, memo, et cetera. But now desktop application show NOTHING and the password on it does not match. I have no idea what password the desktop want. But anyway there was lots of unlocked stuff on the Tungsten.  The desktop only one user it is the same as the tungstern.  Here is suggested PIM Conduit Sync -> sync with Palm Desktop. Now sync does not connect even.  Switching back to sync with outlook does not help. 

What can I do?

I'd suggest reading the post at the top of this section entitled "64bit Palm Desktop Drivers are here!"

It explains how to return to good ol' USB HotSync on a Win7 computer.
