Hotsyncing Z22 device with Palm Desktop

Hi suzbt:
JOY's answer, that you try to do a SYSTEM RESTORE on your Computer to get the data back is a really good one, that I did not think of! All manual instructions, and USER instructions on doing a SYNC with the Palm Z22, REPEAT : 1/ Always have a back up of the hard data 2/ Always check all transferred DATA on a SYNC, "Even if it states 'transfer Successful'", 3/ Even, if necessary, write down the data, ...
There are a few software programs to identify FILE problems on the Z22, listed on my web page:

http://kidbots.com/WEBADD/Z22_PALM_PILOT/Z22_PALM_PILOT.html

and ways to recover corrupt data, but these are getting more and more difficult to find and use...

User comments on the SYNC indicate that any SYNC is a risky procedure, and backups and re-checking all data is necessary at all times.

I hope that the information on my web site comes in useful in keeping the Palm Z22 up and running!

good luck

UNfortunately the problem is that vista doesn'y support hotsyncing on older palms.

1. Right click on red/blue arrows on lower right of pc
2. Select custom
3. Check direction for all

Has synch worked before on this set up?

You're saying you trying to install an appointment on your PDA. Has evrything worked before?

The data on your old Z22 is very likely very secure, and the touch screen problem is very common - there are a few tricks to get the touch screen working long enough to transfer the data.
I have a web page entirely for maintaining, repairing, and interfacing your Z22 at:
kidbots.com/WEBADD/Z22_PALM_PILOT/Z22_PALM_PILOT.html

You can try these tricks, or just replace the screen for $9 U.S., since the screen only needs you take the unit apart and flip open a connector lock ...

I would strongly advise getting a solid plastic cover over your new Z22, since this is the key to keeping the screen working...

hope the information is of help to you

good luck

I went into the HotSync Manager and changed the settings to Desktop overwrites handheld. That did the trick!

type the memo and save it where you know where it is. then goto to your hot sync software and click upload and browse to where the file is and select it.... then press hot sync

You need to sync your Palm Z22 with the Palm Desktop Manager (MAC version). You can find it here on the palm website. http://www.palm.com/us/software/desktop/mac.html There are instructions on how to connect and sync when you install the software. Make sure you install the software first before connecting your Palm.

Check the hot sync manager to set the flow of info from desktop to device during the initial restoration of data to your Palm. Afterwards, once you have all your info restored, you'll want the device(s) and desktop calendar to update each other, so make sure your settings in the sync manager reflect that, otherwise you'll continue to have one schedule overwriting the other.

Hope that helps. Let me know how you make out.
