Snow Leopard - Bento 2.0v5 - Lost record data on Snow Leopard Upgrade

Any thoughts on this one: After an update to Snow Leopard 10.6 and 10.6.1, the data entered in Bento fields associated with contact names in Address Book are no longer available (only 10 of 300 or more records are still available) In addition, the categories associated with names in Address Book have no records in the associated categories in Bento. Further, this problem exists for all of my backup copies of Bento. (i.e. it appears the only way to go recover this might be to go back to a full computer backup recovery from prior to 10.6. I hypothesis that the links between individual records in Bento and Address Book have somehow become corrupted or broken. Therefore the data may well exist in Bento but it is not retrievable. This could be because Bento might believes incorrectly that the original AddressBook record was deleted. Just to confuse things a bit, another possible source of the problem may be because AddressBook is synchronized with other computers and Google. However, post my upgrades to 10.6, all these other accounts were download from the main computer on which Bento resides. A minor Address Book - Mail bug is possibly related. That is that when I "add to Address Book" by ctl-clicking an email address in Mail, this email address apparently added but it is often not found in Address Book. At times it comes shows up later but often it just disappears entirely.

I have gotten a little closer to the problem. It appears that the update to SnowLeopard is not the problem. Rather syncing might be the culprit. I sync AddressBook with MobileMe and Google. The latter was as addition immediately after the Snow Leopard upgrade. I did clean out the GMail address book prior to syncing. Recently, I noticed some duplicate records in AddressBook. Some at least had two middle initials with periods. It appears there is a different format for this cell in the two systems. In one record they showed with no space and in the other with a space between the first period and the second letter.
I was able to recover my AddressBook data. All the records had an update date from my first syncing after adding GMail. The old records had a mix of dates. I just went back to the date with mixed dates. After recovering the records and turning off syncing, Bento is working just fine and all old data is displayed.

  • IPAD2 calendar lost all data after 5.1 upgrade

    I just upgraded my iPad via iTunes to v5.1 today, and just like my upgrade previously  to 5.01, my calendar lost all data.  Somehow, I think I was able to recall the data under 5.01 whereby it just magically came back.  I don't remember  how it  came back.  How do I get my calendar data back??

    1). Re how are u syncing calendar.  And "info" :  answer: the entire "sync calendars with .....". Box is all gray.  When I click a check to the left of Sync, the Outlook field comes alive, and no other choices in that drop down field.
    "All calendars" is radio buttoned, and Do not sync events older tha .30. days ischecked. 
    I'll now leave it like that but since I don't use OUTLOOK on mt laptop I don't see how it wll affect anything .
    Further own on th screen, under ADVANCED, checking Calendars. Apparently willrlac "the selected information in this iPad with information from this omputer".   I don't know how to interpret this, do you?  If I check it it will get information form the computer ?   What info? A previous cal data file?
    2). Re page 70.  If you had not told me (sent a ref URL in one of u'r replies tonite), I wouldn't have even known about the iPad 5.1 manual. 
    Pager 70 : I read pg 70 and don't see any related advice. 
    In the meantime, no data, just like the last upgrade problem.  Since this is exclusively related to calendar, I must conclude whatever events file that existed  was lost in the process.  Although the US, FRENCH, AND GERMAN HOLIDAYS DID GET TRANSFERRED!  And a recurring event file also (time card every Friday)
    Ideas? 

  • Lost All data after iPhone 3GS upgrade .. Help needed to RECOVER !!..

    Hi ,
    I have been backing up my iPhone in my laptop for almost 3 years. My laptop is crashed now.
    Today I thought of upgrading the software from my PC. so I installed itunes and upgraded the software.
    I am sure it made a copy of back up before doing SOFTWARE update.
    But when the update is about to finish. It throwed an error message popup and said update failed.
    I got instructions on the display that my iPHONE is been restored.
    But after RESTORING, I am not able to see any APPs in my phone. It looks like a clean phone.
    I am worried as I have plenty of apps and data on it.
    I am able to see several backup with different time when I click RESTORE backup. I almost tried everything and still could nt see the apps.
    Is there a way I can restore my old apps with data?
    Thanks.

    See my solution at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11757732#11757732
    It's pretty much guaranteed to work if it's at all possible to recover your contacts, although other simpler solutions may work too and some are discussed there.

  • Lost all data with Nokia Belle upgrade!!!

    Hi
    After upgrading to Noka Belle everything went fine, but today when i tried to switch off my Nokia N8 by pressing the power off buttong, "Switch Off Phone" option was not available on the screen, it showed only Lock Phone, profiles etc. when i tried by long press the mobile got switched off. but when i powered it on... there was no data like my whole pictures, videos, contacts, messages all got erased. i did restored the same from my backup, but whenever i swtich off and on all the data is getting erased. this is very strange... how to over come this probelm? is there any way i can reinstall sybian anna again?... please help.
    Regards
    Ganesh
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You could try a factory reset (which will delete ALL data on the phone and restore it to 'factory' conditions).
    Settings - Phone - Phone Management - Factory Settings - Delete Data and Restore.
    Try this first off. Re-sync your data and turn the phone off and on again.
    If the problem persists, perform a factory reset and then re-install the firmware.
    If you go to the 'software update' menu, you will be shown the firmware version that you are running. You will also be given the option to re-install the Belle firmware.
    Re-install the firmware, then re-sync your phone. Turn your phone off and see if the problem persists, hopefully this will sort it out. If not take it to a Nokia Care Point and see if they can identify the problem.
    You will not be able to reinstall Anna without reflashing your phone, however this will likely void any warranty and cannot be discussed on this forum.
    The NCC may be able to reinstall the Anna firmware for you, however try what I have suggested above as you may have a corrupted firmware and re-installation may cure the problem.
    Hope this helps.

  • My iphone crashed and lost all data. how do i upgrade the operating system then sync with itunes?

    My iphone 3g crashed. My calendar and contacts don't appear on itunes.  how do i sync with itunes? should I upgrade operating system first? how to do that?

    "My calendar and contacts don't appear on itunes.  "
    Your calendar ond contacts should be on your computer in whatever program you have selected to sync.
    "how do i sync with itunes? "
    You sync as you always have.
    "should I upgrade operating system first? "
    If you like.
    "how to do that?"
    Open itunes, cconnect iphone.  Itunes should tell you if there is an update avilable or you can click Check for Updates.

    Hello, it's great you have a backup, but 10.6 should just Install 10.6 system files over the top of 10.5 system files, & leave all your data intact on the drive.

  • Lost iWeb Data

    When I installed Leopard, I had to do a clean install. I was building a site in the iWeb 2006 and had saved it on an external disk. I'm concerned I lost the data. If I open iWeb 2006 on the external disk itself, it comes up blank. However in the ext. disk->user ->library ->application support ->iWeb folder, I found "Document," (BLDocument Native Domain) which holds 500MB of data. But when I copied it to my computer disk Applications Folder, nothing changed in iWb 09.
    Any insight on this?

    Just to update, fortunately, my wife had a copy of the 2006 iWeb in her Mac with most of the data in it. So I copy pasted from that into 09. It's possible that most of the work I did had not been backed up. Lucky me.

  • Lost desktop data

    Can someone please help on retrieving lost data? 
    I have lost data that was on my desktop calendar application. I don't have the Palm TX anymore but use the desktop software "Palm Desktop by Access".  I have lost most of the data that was on my Nov. and Dec. calendar months.  It does not appear data on any other months were lost.  My computer uses Windows Vista.  Thanks
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    If you don't do a regular hotsync with your TX to the PC you more than likely have lost the data. You can try to recover the data by using the following procedure.
    You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. On Vista the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak.
    The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.

    Here is another link regarding data loss;
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=39503
    The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
    Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.
    Here is a link for other options for backing up your data;
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28751
    The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
    Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
    http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
    Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
    With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
    Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
    With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

  • Lost Application Data

    I’m new to this whole application thing so please forgive my ignorance.  I just downloaded version 6.0 and lost all data that was stored in two of my applications.  The application I’m concerned about is a baby feeding record by Vimukti.  The app is still there but I lost the child’s profile and the details I’ve stored about his feedings.  A restore (of a backup that was created prior to the update) did not return the data.  What did I do wrong and is there any way to get this data back???

    Transferring the app does not include the app's data.
    I get that, perhaps these are two issues. I transferred the purchases of about 20 apps and one actually transferred to my computer. Tried it twice, synched with the old laptop to put the apps back in between attempts.

  • Recording Audio in Snow Leopad

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard my freeware app (Audio Recorder) stopped being able to record o MP3 and there have been no updates since 2008, so this app has died. Also my commercial app (Sound Maker) is no longer being developed, and Snow Leopard cant run classic apps. I was looking for a simple and brainless audio recorder and have not found one, except SndSampler which looks to be quite nice. AudaCity is cute, but its got a number of issues and is terribly difficult to use. I miss the old Sound Edit from the Mac OS 7 days. It ate AudaCity for breakfast. Does anyone got any apps to reccommend that will do what I wish? I dont want to pay $40 for SndSampler but may if need be. I need something easy to use and powerful.
    So audio experts what do you recommend?
    Thanks,
    John

    Its amazing but I got Audio Recorder fixed. For some reason when I moved from Tiger to SL, Migration assistant did not copy over the folder to enable audio recorder to record into MP3. I got it replaced and can record into Mp3 again. Garage band is way too complicated.
    Snd Sampler is very nice and its got an editor. But its $40.

  • How can I record data from 2 devices synchronously

    Hi,
    I've been working on this VI for some time now and I've already recieved some prior help from these forums, so I hope I can get this problem solved.
    I have a DAQpad 6020e, a hot wire thermo anemometer, and Labview 7.1.  I need to take voltage measurements from the DAQpad at a scan rate I specify (I have it set to 1000 in the screenshot), while simultaneously taking readings from the anemometer.  However, the anemometer only takes readings every 1.6 seconds, which it sends to the serial port in ASCII.
    I have tried many iterations of this vi to try to get the data to come out synchronously.  By synchronously, I just mean I want both measurements to START at the EXACT same time.  Obvisously the scan rates are drastically different so I will have far more measurements from the DAQpad, but that is ok so long as both measurements start at the same time.  I cannot control when the anemometer makes its reading, so what I have attempted to do is as follows:
    1.  VI starts, both reads initialize, then DAQpad scan begins.
    2.  If Scan Rate and "Scans to read" are equal, it takes one second for measurements to start being recorded from the DAQpad.
    3.  In an attempt to synchronize the measurements, I attempted to tell the anemometer WHILE loop (serial) to wait until the first measurement has been recorded from the DAQpad.  (**Note, I have also tried using the "number read" lead off of the AI read command).
    4.  Because I only get 1 reading from my anemometer per 1.6 seconds, I can't predict when the next reading will be.  But I want my measurements to be corrolated in time, so I have attempted to start the measurement file as soon as the case structure starts.  This way, even if the very first reading is invalid, the rest of the readings will be valid and will be taken at times that directly correlate with the DAQpad measurements.
    I have run this vi many times, with different results.  I have gotten it to run sucessfully many times, meaning that both measurement files started recording data at the exact same instant, even if the anemometer reading wasn't available yet (I know this because the second measurement was taken at a time earlier than 1.6 seconds, meaning that the file did not wait for a measurement to be obtained in order to assign a value at 0 time).  HOWEVER, other times, this vi does not run correctly.  Sometimes the anemometer readings begin before the DAQpad readings, sometimes after.  In every case where the vi does not work, it appears that the anemometer measurement has waited for its first measurement to be recorded at time 0 instead of starting the measurement file when the DAQpad starts.
    I need to know why this vi doesn't run consistently.  I can see it do what I want it to do over and over again, but I can't use this vi if it is not 100% consistent.
    Thank you,
    Jake

    For future reference, just post the actual VI.  It is easier to troubleshoot than a print as a PDF.
    Given the software complexities of separate threads and serial bus versus PCI bus, I don't see how you can say that the measurements actually start at the same time.  The only way you can say that the measurements started together was if you were using a hardware trigger.
    There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

  • Using a waveform graph, how to get all recorded data graphed?

    I record data from 6 channels using DAQmx with simulated channels and write to measurement file.  Then using read from measurement file, and waveform graph, I am trying to graph the data that has been recorded.  I am only getting a small amount graphed.  The same graph appears whether I have let the measure and record program run for 1 minute or for ten minutes.  It also displays a time at the end of the graph that is in the future.  What am I doing wrong?  Please help.

  • Lost all data on computer, want to sync back from iPhone

    Hello, first of all thank you very much for helping me, and sorry for my bad english.
    I have a iphone3g which connects to windows Xp trough an itunes 9.0.2.
    My problem is:
    I had to format my hard disk so I've lost my itunes libray and all files wich were included it. By the way I've reinstalled the iTunes. I've found an older libray and sat it up iTunes to use that folder/libray.
    The only problem is that this libray has an 50% diference that my iPhone has. I mean the half of the files (music, movie,calendar etc.) are different. I noticed it when i connected my iPhone to the iTunes, because iTunes wanted to replace all my sings and applications on my iPhone as it is on the (old) libray. I've noticed it and disconnected my iPhone from the CP.
    I've tired to create a new fresh empty libray and copy all my media from my iPhone to the new libray. But it said the iPhone could be connected just one lbray. (Which seems to be my "old"libray.) I dosnet want to connect my iPhone to the old libray because it will cause the loss of the half of my songs. I neither cant find the libray which is the same as the one on my iPhone nor copy my songs to a new libray.
    My songs were not imported to the itunes libray folder but were on their own place. It means that I have not lost my data, just the configuration (playlist, rateing, playcount, wich files were selected to add to the itunes, !applications! , etc.)
    Oh yes, there is an other thing. My newly bought applications were synced to the lost libray, and they could not be found in the "old" one, just on my iPhone. But as i said, I can not connect my iPhone to a new libray.
    I hope I've described it well, and you can help me please.
    Waiting for your answer.
