It's easier than ever to use a Palm as a standalone device. Bluetooth and SD card readers are ubiquitous. You almost certainly have one or the other (or both!) built-in to the computer or smartphone you're using to view this webpage! That means data transfer to a Palm is as simple as copying files from one storage medium to the other.
But while it's no longer necessary to rely on the classic HotSync for installing apps and files on most Palm devices, there are still reasons you might want to do so. Taking backups, jotting memos from the comfort of a keyboard and mouse, or keeping up with that ancient contacts list are all perfectly valid reasons you might want to use Palm Desktop in 2020 and beyond.
To get started, you'll need to grab one or two files:
- USB Drivers (if applicable):
If you aren't sure which driver package to get, use the Aceeca drivers. Despite the company branding, the drivers themselves are generic and will work with all USB Palm devices. Make sure to extract any .zip files and remember the location!
If you are using a serial connection (including serial-to-USB via an adapter) or Bluetooth wireless for HotSync, you do not need any drivers to proceed.
There are three ways to connect your Palm to your Windows 10 PC, and the process differs slightly for each:
2a: Connect via USB
Upon first connecting your device to USB, a Windows notification will appear indicating that a Palm Handheld is being setup. However, Windows 10 can only recognize Palm as a generic USB device and cannot actually interface with it.
To solve this problem, right-click on the Windows Start button and open Device Manager. There you'll find your Palm listed under 'Other Devices' with an exclamation icon to indicate a missing driver.
Right-click on 'Palm Handheld', then choose 'Update Driver'. Next, choose 'Browse my computer for drivers' and enter the path to your downloaded driver package. Proceed through the installation, and your Palm will be recognized by Windows!
2b: Connect via Serial
Though serial devices are now considered legacy, Windows 10 still retains limited support for them and can HotSync over serial just fine. However, a modern PC is unlikely to have a serial port, in which case you'll have to purchase a serial-to-USB adapter. While there are many such devices on the market, this one has been tested and proven working for HotSync on Windows 10:
- Serial-to-USB adapter on Amazon (non-affiliate link)
Palm itself also released a licensed serial-to-USB adapter known as the 'Palm Connect Kit', but this adapter is highly outdated and is unlikely to work with Windows 10.
With a compatible serial-to-USB adapter connected, right-click on the Windows Start button and open Device Manager. There you'll find your adapter listed under 'Ports (COM & LPT)'. Right-click on your adapter and choose 'Properties', then switch to the 'Port Settings' tab. Here, you'll want to set 'Bits per second' to 115200 for the fastest HotSync. Then, click 'Advanced' and take note of the COM Port Number. You'll need it in Step 4.
2c: Connect via Bluetooth
While Bluetooth was once a complicated protocol to get working with HotSync, with Windows 10, it couldn't be easier. Simply open the Windows 10 Settings app and navigate to Devices. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled. If so, you will see the message: 'Now discoverable as [YOUR PC]'. Leave this screen open to keep your PC discoverable by nearby Bluetooth devices.
Next, on your Palm device, go to the Prefs app and choose Bluetooth. Make sure Bluetooth is On. Then, choose 'Setup Devices' >'PC Setup' >'Bluetooth HotSync'. Your Palm will search for nearby Bluetooth devices and show your PC in the list. The PC name will match the message on your Windows 10 Bluetooth settings screen.
Next, your Palm will inform you about virtual serial ports, but you can ignore this entirely. Windows 10's Bluetooth drivers come pre-configured with virtual serial support, so no further configuration is needed. Simply touch 'Next' on your Palm until you reach the final setup screen.
You'll receive a prompt to launch HotSync, but don't do it just yet! Instead, proceed to Step 3.
This one's pretty straightforward. Simply extract your Palm Desktop 6.2.2 download and run the setup application. Naturally, you can ignore any prompts to register your software or device. However, you should also ignore any prompts to run HotSync just yet. If prompted to HotSync, choose Skip and proceed to Step 4.
Before your Palm can communicate with Palm Desktop, you'll need to configure HotSync Manager to listen on the same channel as you're using to connect.
With Palm Desktop installed, you'll notice a little HotSync icon in your Windows 10 system tray. If not, you can run it by searching 'HotSync Manager' in the Start menu. Then, right-click on the system tray icon and choose 'Settings'.
In HotSync Manager settings, navigate to the Connections tab. There you'll see a list of checkboxes for available connection types. Make sure the boxes for any connection types you will be using are checked. If you're using serial, you will also need to assign the COM port indicated in Step 2b.
Once your connection settings are correct, click 'Done' and HotSync Manager will minimize itself back to the system tray.
4b: Configure HotSync Manager for Legacy Devices
For devices running Palm OS 2.0.5 or older, you must also disable Package Installer if you are experiencing crashes (typically during the 'Synchronizing Capabilities...' stage). This can be done from the HotSync Manager Applications tab.
From the list of available HotSync applications, click Package Installer, then 'Configure..'. In the pop-up window that appears, choose 'Do Nothing', then check the box 'Set as Default' and click OK. Click 'Done' to accept changes and HotSync Manager will minimize itself back to the system tray.
You can now add any apps you want to install through the traditional Install menu in Palm Desktop and run HotSync without crashes!
Note that HotSync application settings are applied per-user account, so Package Installer will not be disabled for other devices synced to the same PC. You can always view other account settings from the dropdown box at the top of HotSync Manager.
With Palm Desktop installed and HotSync Manager configured to your connection type, you may now proceed. A window will appear prompting you to choose or create an account for your Palm, then begin transferring data.
Congratulations! You just completed your first HotSync on Windows 10!
Now, if you're looking for things to install to your Palm device, why not browse PalmDB for some apps?

Contrary to what many say, the Palm Desktop will work on the new Windows operating systems, Vista, Windows 7, 8 and 10, with either the 32 or 64 bit OS. If you have the 32 bit OS then do not install the driver below as it is not necessary. If you have the 64 bit OS you will need the driver below and once it is installed your Palm will hotsync with your computer just as previous systems. To find out if you have the 32 or 64 bit OS please use the link below;
We can arrange to dial into your computer and install the required driver remotely, the typical fee for this service is $35 for the first 30 minutes, please see our PalmDr Phone Service for details and available hours.
The ACEECA corporation has developed a 64 bit driver for their handhelds, running the Palm OS, so the instructions refer to an Aceeca device/PDA – just ignore this labeling and know they mean the Palm device. This driver is only necessary for the USB driver, it is not necessary for the BlueTooth(BT), Infra Red(IR), WiFi, or serial.
1) Install the Palm Desktop software from the CD as normal. You must have the Palm Desktop software installed before installing the 64 bit drivers. If you do not have the installation CD you can order one from our website here;
Install CDs
2) Download 64 bit driver instructions from the link below.
Windows 64 Bit Insturctions
3) Download the 64 bit drivers, this is a Zip file so you must extract it to a place you can later find;
Windows 64 Bit Drivers Download

Windows 8 and 10
With Windows 7, 8 and 10 you should be use the 6.2 version of the Palm desktop in most cases. The installation is the same for Windows 7, 8 and 10, if you run into a problem of only seeing the Media in the Palm Desktop then you must be sure to start the Hotsync Manager and Palm Desktop with the “Run as administrator”.
These instructions are a work in progress so an changes/problems will greatly help others with the same problems so please reply with feedback, good or bad.
Thank you,

This works on my old palm zire and is not only for win 7 or 8 , works on my win 10 great
Aceeca Drivers For 64-bit Windows
with your perfectly clear instructions and the drivers my 'museum-Z22' can be perfectly backed up again. This is part of not having planned obsolescence. Thank you so much
The instructions refer to Win7 only, so there's a bit of 'interpretation' required when installing on Win10. The last two pages contain the critical information.
The new drivers work; that's a plus. The suggested v6.2 desktop is lacking in a few areas such as calendar entry colors and other niceties that exist in v4.1.
Palm T|X being used.
Thank You Very much !!!) You can give me a hope, what good hardcore programmers ALIVE !!!)))) PALM FOREVER!!)))
Perfect! I had forgotten windows 7 and the palm Zire 31 didn't exactly see eye to eye.
Glad I found this solution! It works flawlessly! I got the palm up and running again specifically because i wanted the computer/handheld interface
Acecad Drivers
Like so many others, I love my Palm Pilot and have used one since 1997. With Windows OS constantly updating, I keep worrying that I will eventually have to give it up, but alas, your website helped me continue to use it. I love that I don't have all of my private info and passwords in my phone or in the cloud. This week I loaded windows 10 64 bit and tried to install my palm pilot with no success.
I did all that you said in this post, but then I couldn't get my palm information to show in the Palm Desktop. After some research, I found the link to this website to provide a 'patch' for legacy Palm Pilots (Tungsten C). Then all of the data showed up in my Desktop again. Yay!!!
http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/legacy.html
This is what the website says...
When most of the other Palm OS vendors dropped out of the market, Palm rewrote their PIM applications and came out with a new internal architecture that was not fully compatible with Palm OS applications written for the earlier generation devices. We refer to the older devices as Legacy devices. Here is a list of specific devices which fall into each category:
Legacy Devices: any device running OS4 or earlier, any non-Palm brand handheld (Sony, Garmin, etc.), or Treo-600, Tungsten C/T/T2, Zire-71
Newer Devices: any Treo model except Treo-600, Tungsten T3/T5/Tx/LifeDrive, Zire 72/31
Amazing. Worked like a charm. Thank you for all you do!!
This procedure has worked perfectly with my Palm Zire 22 which is legacy model from the past. I thought I would never get the data transferred but it has worked perfectly with Windows 10. Thanks so much....
Well...I confess: I am a PALM orphan.
And as technology 'improves' - in all connected and virtual and cloud ways - I still remember my days when I just could 'access' a Contact detail in my PALM handheld without worried 'if' I'll have a wifi OR 3/4/4.5/4+/5G connection (of my 'smartphone').
In very special when I am visiting Industrial customers in the countryside, and also want to use my (old, I know!) IAMBIC solutions.
YEARS has gone and I still keep my 2 PALM Centros, and 1 Zire 71 in a hope that, 'one day', I could sync it with my 64bits computers.
So... I want to really THANK YOU very, very, very much to make it possible!: PALM OS HotSync is up and running on my Desktop Windows 7 64bits.
(I will do the same procedure to my notebooks Windows 10).
My very best regards!

Thanks so much, PalmDr! Saved everything!
Previous Palm desktop on Windows 7 and Hard Drive crashed.
Now wrestling with Windows 10, more ways than this!
Loaded version 6.2, but with W10, unit did not connect to laptop at all, so 1st windows of Aceeca instructions never appeared. Launched Device Mgr, but NO 'Other devices' in list. After many head scratches, I found 'Show Hidden Devices' under VIEW, and there it was. Then 64 bit Drivers then installed easily as per the instructions, and Hot Sync worked perfectly.
Great service!
