I've got some big problem.
MY Contacts database often causes soft resets when I'm trying to edit contact notes or (less often) any field of contact.
This started when I was trying Agendus 12. 30 - day trial od Agendus didn't gave any problems, but after return to Contacts app it started to make resets (and sometimes errors in NOTE field). When I have installed Agendus 13 everything worked fine for some days.

After Hard Reset everything worked perfectly, but when I restored ContactsDB then problem went back. I have a backup copy of contacts that I made before trying Agendus but now I have about 50 contacts more. If there will not be a methot do clean up the database, I will simply rewrite 50 contacts with their notes, bank accounts etc. Fortunately I don't use photos - re-pixelling tem could be a suicide-work :|
I had installed Palm Desktop on brother's laptop and under Palm Desktop all data is readable, so I'm sure that I didn't lose it.

My ContactsDB is pretty old. There are some entries that I made using m125, next it was used on Treo 600, then on Treo 650 and, after Treo's damage, I moved a 650's backup copy to my current 650. So I'm aware that it could damage during conversions etc.

So the question is:
Is there a method to convert Palm ContactsDB to CSV or other "clean" format and re-convert do ContactsDB? Or, eg. export to CSV,spreadsheet,SQL and then synchronize with contacts?
Converting to vCal don't give me what I want because of vCal's limitations. ]]> Palm OS Synchronization c64club http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=214914 http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=212902&goto=newpost Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:44:27 GMT I'm synching my 700P with Entourage on my iMac via USB. (All other conduits are set to default Do Nothing.)

Everything was fine until lately when the synch became excruciatingly slow. Whereas it used to synch in less than 30 seconds, synchs now can take 10 minutes. The difficulty seems to be in synching the Tasks/To-Do list. I have the Entourage conduit set to synch only active to-dos and typically I don't have over fifty total to-dos with maybe ten or fifteen changes per day. So it isn't a huge to-do list that's bogging things down. Any ideas as to how to get the speedy synch back? ]]> Palm OS Synchronization rkdav http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=212902 http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=212470&goto=newpost Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:19:10 GMT Is Paldm desktop 6.x (windows) reliable? Any worthwhile improvements? I now have 4.2. A Google turned up a couple negative comments on 6.x, to the effect that it's a downgrade not an upgrade. I can't find any definitive info about this.

One extra feature I'd like is the ability to sync 2 devices to the same calendar and contact data without risking technical issues. I understand one can give them both the same hotsync name, but am not sure if that could end in corrupting both data sets.

Or is there something else clearly better and more reliable than Palm Desktop? ]]> Palm OS Synchronization SuperCrackBerry http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=212470
