I tried checking for corrupted entries (Options->Tools tab), it found none. What finally worked was Purging old events (Tools->Purge Events), then the sync only found 100 or so and was able to do the sync.

OMG!!!!! This worked after being so frustrated for the last two months and having to carry two phones (my old treo 650)!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

FYI for anyone else: downloaded Palm Desktop v4.1.4 and purge all events older than 1 month for me since I didn't have many.

Hey Everyone - I Need Some Help And Or Suggestions. Running Windows Vista 32 Bit. I Had Installed Palm Desktop 6.2 And Bb Desktop Mgr 4.7 - Was Also Having The Problem With The Bb Wizard Getting To The Page Of Switching From Another Device To Bb, Clicking Start. The Next Page Is Greyed Out. So Upon Suggestion From The Previous Posts From Here. Removed The Palm Desktop 6.2, Down Loaded 4.1.4e For The Palm Treo 650 .... Tried Running The Bb Software Again AnD Yes That Portion Does Work But Now The Problem Is The Palm Desktop. Palm Desktop Vs 4.1.4 Is Not Compatable With Vista And I Cannot Get My Treo 650 To Connect To The Computer For Data Transfer.

So - Palm Desktop 6.2 Works With Vista And The Treo 650, But Not With The Bb Wizard

Palm Desktop 4.1.4 Does Not Work With Vista But DOES WORK With Bb Wizard.

I Have Over 600 Contacts Oot Transfer And I Cannot See Doing This 1 By 1. I Tried Beaming The Contacts Over From The Palm - But Cannot Do That Either Because That Particular Catagory Is Locked Adn Protected.

What Else Can I Possibly To To Get My Contacts Transferred From My Treo 650 To My Bb Storm ? Without Going Through Outlook ? Is There Another Program Out There That Will Work ?

I have followed this thread and am still having problems. The 4.1.4 change to Palm desktop worked. I purged my calendar events as instructed. When I try to synch, it hangs up in the Synching Calendar Events window. Record number 2/60. The program stops responding and I have to end that task. I reinstalled the BB desktop. Vista environment. What can I do next?

I had the same problem... using too new a version of Palm Desktop. I switched to the older version suggested above, and it worked just fine. The only thing I was surprised about is the fact that it only transferred future calendar items rather than all calendar items. It did not ask me what my preference was here, but going through the items one-by-one, it occurred to me that it had only transferred the future items. Due to the way I use my calendar with my business (I'm a musician), it is helpful for me to have the history. Any idea how to get the old items to come over?
