Tungsten E2 - lost all data during last hot sync

Help! I ran a hot sync per my normal procedures and lost all data on both handheld and desktop. Have used this system for 10+ years with no issues. Here are the details:
At work I run my Desktop constantly (v4.1.4 I believe) and sync my handheld throughout the day as I make additions/deletions. Hotsnyc at the end of the day and start over. Plug in again in the morning and the system continues....
Periodically I hotsnync at home just to have another back-up of my data.
PC at work crashes, hard-drive data recovered by Geek Squad and saved to a Western Digital portable drive.
I take my hand held home to sync so I can work off my desktop and ALL my data on both devices are GONE...freaking me out.
I believe I have data on the WD drive but can't figure out how to import it into the Desktop at home. When I open the Desktop program, it opens fine but is completely void of data. The import feature in the Desktop has been in effective as it doesn't appear to recognize the file type..
How do I get my saved data off the WD and into my Palm Desktop?? Would appreciate any suggestions... PLEASE!!!! Thank you!
Was running XP Pro at work (now Win 7), Vista at home I believe...

Have you heard of using a backup. I believe NVBackup will work with the E2 and it is free. This will put a complete clone of the E2 operating system files and everything on a memory card. So if this problem happens again you will have a easy way to recover all your info. NVBackup

Icalender lost all data for last six months!

Not sure if this is linked to Davmail gateway which synchronizes my Ipad, Iphone and office or from any recent uploads onto the Ipad or Mac, but all my calendar entries have vanished except for Nov and Dec. All calenders are highlighted on the PC and Ipad etc. I have backed up on a hard disk but cannot see how to find these entries anywhere. Has anyone else had this experience? More important, anyway I can get this valuable data back as it has gone from all sources?

Lost all data in Outlook Calendar - sync not putting them back

Yesterday i expereinced an issue with my calendar in Outlook that wiped all entries. Today I have tried to sync my curve to put the curve calendar back on Outlook and it said there were just a few changes to make between the two making me think that the entries are still in Outlook somewhere but not showing. I then tried a oneway sync and although it appears to do it, nothing is showing in Outlook. Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Found solution - I sync emails with an MSN mailbox but use the Outlook calendar, not the MSN one - Outlook had picked up MSN's calendar rather than my personal one which was why it was showing empty. Took me a while to work out what had happened and how to get my normal calendar back into view in Outlook.

Lost ALL DATA after OS update on MAC.

Coming back from Walt Disney World with my daughter during the holidays. Took some nice pictures with my BB Curve 8530. Once back home, try to download all the picture on my macbook using the desktop manager. Plugged my BB using the provided cable, then immediately was proposed to update my device software. So the update go on. Took a while and finally was asked to restore my data on the device, which of course I accepted. Took about a quarter of a second, then done! So unplugged the device from the computer and surprise! Nothing, Nada, Zero... All my contacts, media, email, everything was wiped very clean. I'm kind of furious.
I've done some research over several forum it append to A LOT of people. Some were lucky enough to find a backup file on there system, but nothing on mine searching with spotlight.
RIM as no right at all to erase all the data on my device. I was never warned and I never accepted the risk associated with that update.
I'm asking for a solution to get back all my data.

i'm having the same problem!
i finally got around to upgrading to IOS5 last night and also got an error whilst restoring the back up. I also assumed the date would be there.
now i've restored my phone all apps etc have returned to phone but lost all data from them, ive lost all my contacts and diary appointments etc.
Nightmare!
how do i get it back???? any help would be appreciated

Dear Apple,

I set up icloud for my devices but i can't find them because they were not connect to the Internet. Please guide me other ways to find my "best friends". They're very important to me. Many important files for my job in here and it has sentimental value to me. My boyfriend gave it for me so i don't want to lose them. And because i just lost my iPad Air last 3 month, and now i just bought iPad Air 2 two months ago. I'm so sad and lost. I want to catch the thief to the police so bad because they keep my bag and many other important things. I can not do anything without them. Please help me and contact me via my email or my phone. Thank you very much. Hope to receive your answer soon.

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?

HT3529 I have lost all data on my iphone and the back-up is too old. How can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4? I have all the chats on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

Hi,
I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

Then make sure you sync everything to your computer so you do not lose it.

Partition with Disk Utility in 10.7, Lost All Data on Drive

All,
I partitioned a 2TB drive with DiskUtility. Partition 1: 1.99TB, Paritition 2: 1GB. Lost all data Partition 1. Two years of family photos, videos, business communications and files, time machine backups, are gone. What to do?
The solution I have so far: downloaded "Wondershare Data Recovery," followed instructions, it is scanning drive. Does anyone else have any experience with capabale softwares to use for this purpose? How about some professional data recovery centers accross the US where I can mail in my drive, and they do the rest?
In general, what do I do?
Stressed,
Sincerely,
A Man Made More Cautious

Try Data Recovery by DriveSavers | All Drives, RAID, SSD & iPhones. They tend to be expensive, and they make no guarantees.
Partitioning a drive is a destructive process that erases everything on the drive.

Contacts lost all data suddenly.

My Contacts lost all data suddenly today. I upgraded to 10.8.2 this afternoon. Could that have caused it? Can I do to retrieve my data?

I found the hidden data file but get messge "There is no application set to open the document "AddressBook.data." and I have not been able to choose one that works.
My latest attempt was to go to ~library/Application Support/addressbook. Instuctions said to remove "AddressBook.data" and "AddressBook.data.previous" to another spot for safety, then copy "AddressBook.data.previous" back into the file. Nothing happened.
Any other ideas?

Loaded ios 6 onto my i phone and lost all data can it be retrieved

loaded ios6 onto my i phone and lost all data. not too worried about apps but lost contacts, all music downloaded onto i phone and photos, Is there any way it can be retrieved?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only restore them from a backup. This has occurred because you are sharing an iCloud account. ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.
