Automatic Hotsynch I broke my screen on my Palm Z22 and I can't push the hotsynch on my device. Is there any way to start hotsynch from my computer, or set up a hotsynch automatically when I plug my Palm into the computer?

Not sure which software you're using but with mine there is a shortcut in the program menu to start HotSynch. I know that's a duh, but ya never know.
Second option is to reinstall the Desktop software. You may have a corrupted driver or cfg file.

HI,
I had the same problem with my palm. The first thing I did was to make sure I had the most up to date software on my computer. YOu can get this by going to www.palm.com and cklicking on PDA's and then the name of your palm. From there it will bring up a page that has all the up to date desktop software. If you have the up to date desktop software and you have all your information backed up on your computer then preform a hard reset. This will ERASE everything on your palm. If you need directions on how to do this send me a comment and I will get those directions. If you ahve the manual it should tell in there how to do a HARD reset. The hard reset will restore it back to all the default settings and erase it just as if it were new,. After you get to this point do another Hot Sync. It hould sync for you just fine. Hope this works for you. I had great results doing this.
Best wishes.

Had the same problem. You will have to hard reset - in doing so you will lose all data on your device. Sorry I know no other way.

Step 1: Charge your device overnight.
Step 2: While holding down the reset button (back of unit) hold the power button down. Release the reset and wait for the Palm screen to appear. When it does, release the power. Press the "up" button when prompted for full restore.

You should now be working. Word of warning: I continue to have problems with HotSynch. The version recommended by Palm (v. 4.1.4) locks up my system, as if it is emulating another device (no buttons work, screen wonky, etc.).

Best of luck!

1. Go to your desktop program
2. Go to top and select HOTSYNCH
3. Select Set Up
4. Select the port your E2 is attached to
5. Theres more but I need to know how you are to this point or go to live tech support and ask for Just_Bobz

sounds like a blown USB port device..you on xp? go to start/settings/control panel/device manager, and see if USB(at bottom) has any marks on it

An interrupted update will corrupt your ROM. I sincerely hope you'll get a better 2nd opinion, and from your post it seems like if theres a solution out there then you're not likely to miss it ;] Good luck, and let us know if you worked it out

Update dominance in Palm Desktop app. Figured it out! Go to the Palm Desktop application. Click on HotSynch, and then Custom. On each of the four Outlook conduits, click "Change", and specify that desktop dominates, if desired.

When you first install Palm Desktop, you have a choice of synchronizing with Palm Desktop or with Outlook.

It sounds like you chose Palm Desktop.

You have to uninstall Palm Desktop and Reinstall it.

There will be an option to synchronize with Outlook/Versamail so make sure to choose that.

Install newer version of palm desktop and create new profile.

you can use Versamail to sync your email with your handheld
