All Pam Desktop Data disappearing

I had to re-install my Palm 6.2.2 software and when I synced with my Palm 650 no data was imported. I'm running Hotsync 7.02.
I went to a friends PC and imported my data to a new config on his PC and e-mailed the exported date, contact, tasks and memo's to my e-mail address. I then imported the data to my Palm Desktop. All appears ok till I close the desktop and re-open it and the data is gone.
I'm starting my Palm Desktop as the Admin since I'm running Vista.
I've tried uninstalling, re-installing and repairing the software a few times, but that did not work. When I use the Outlook interface to sync, it works fine. I prefer to use the Pam Desktop instead of Outlook.
Any ideas to resolve this problem? Thanks

At this point I would clean uninstall Palm Desktop completely. I will give you instructions on how to do it just be very careful deleting the registry items. If you delete the wrong thing it will mess up your computer and that would not be good. First, make sure your device is disconnected from your PC.
Open your Control Panel > Add/ Remove Programs > And remove Palm (or PalmOne)
Go to Start > Run > type Regedit and run it. this will open your registry
Delete the following folders:
HKEY_Current_User\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Palm
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Palmone
HKEY_Current_User\Software\U.S. Robotics
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\PalmSource
Done. Close the registry and restart your PC and install the new Palm Desktop. Go to http://www.palm.com/us/support/palmdesktop.html to download and reinstall Palm Desktop. I'm really hoping this solves your issue.

All my GPS data disappeared

This is something that happened twice.
Suddenly, all my GPS data disappeared from the entire catalog.
Fortunately, I could recover them from my catalog backup.
I can't make out how this could have happened.
Did anyone experience the same problem ?

There are two cases
Case 1 : This happened under LR 5 or even LR 4 a couple of weeks or even months ago. The GPS data got erased everywhere and could not be recovered.
Case 2 : This happened under LR CC. I was lucky to be aware of that problem because shortly after this loss I tried to find photos for a specific location. But there was no GPS data available. By reloading the apparently uncorrupted catalog everything was fine again.
What I think happened
Since all GPS data for the entire catalog disappeared in one instant, I think that the problem lies in my catalog. There must be a file containing a link from the photos the GPS date (or the other way round). I think that link got corrupted or was erased.
In case 1 unaware of this loss I browsed and accessed the photos thereby gradually erasing the GPS data in the photos until none was left.
In case 2, since this is an unforeseen event for LR, the GPS data in the photos were not immediately erased. And I did not access the photos. By reloading an uncorrupted catalog everything was fine again.
Unfortunately I cannot trace what event caused the catalog to get corrupted. All I know is that I was creating and deleting collections.
Believe me, I now constantly check the presence of GPS data via the metadata filter "GPS data".
Does this make any sense to you ?

Help! All my desktop files disappeared.

I need help as quickly as possible.
This morning I turned on my MacBook Pro and all my files on desktop have disappeared.

Please help!

How to reinstall Palm desktop for Windows without losing all my desktop data

I use a Palm T|X and Windows XP Pro. I was using Palm Desktop 4.x but decided to upgrade to the latest version. 6.2.2. I have had a lot of problems since then, HotSync does not work properly with CalorieKing and Palm Desktop complains about "switching users" each time I try to open Contacts.
I want to uninstall Palm Desktop 6.x and reinstall Palm Desktop 4.x. I know that my data will be safe if after the new install I tell HotSYnc to have the handheld overright the deaktop. However, what about the programs? Will they also get transferred from the Palm back to the desktop? Will the conduits be set up correctly for Documents to Go, CalorieKing and my other applications, or will I have to reinstall them?
Post relates to:

The programs are still in place, but how does the "new" copy of Palm desktop know they are there? Also, there are copies of the programs that are installed only on the Palm but not the Windows machines in one of the Palm desktop folders that use used to restore data to the Palm T|X. How do I save that data, without having to install all those programs yet again, even though they already exist on the palm?.

HT5373 My iPad calendar only retains a few months history even though I have it set for all entries. All my 2013 dates disappeared?

My iPad calendar dropped all my prior year 2013, dates which I need fir reference purposes. I have my calendar set to retain all dates. What's wrong?

Yes, just as you have outlined, but when I noticed the term of three months I changed it to all. I had previously changed it to all about three months ago when I noticed my calendar was only saving three months worth. Somehow the settings were changed back to three months - I had not been to that area of settings since I made the original change. It appears there must be standard settings that revert back when something triggers them. Can I recovered my lost calendar for 2013?

I tried to make another account on my school Macbook Pro, made the Admin, account with the same name as the one I was using, deleted it and then all my desktop data is gone.

So, the problem is,
I used these school Macs right? They're school handed and stuff. Then one day I decided I want admin so I do this thing where I "reset" everything on the Macbook using this Video (at the bottom) http://www.wikihow.com/Reset-a-Lost-Admin-Password-on-Mac-OS-X
Then I do it, it takes me to the new User. That's not what I want so I shut down, then made an account with the same name as my current account (let's call it Y). Then I delete Y on purpose. I deleted it because I didn't want my school to know I had this account. Realise I wanted it again so I made an account, let's call it X then when I have X I deleted Y. Then I realised my AirDrop name said X so then I made a new account, this time let's call it Z, with Z I delete X and then I deleted Z because I don't want my school to know I have Z but then Z is also the same name as my main/current account. Somehow or something I delete my current account leaving me with Z. Now I can see my account and stuff but don't know how to restore it.
Picture will be provides later.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME. I HAVE SCHOOL TOMORROW AND I DON'T WANT MY PARENTS TO FIND OUT.

It is a bad idea to hack computer passwords when you don't own the computer
Good luck with the school and the parents.

Desktop items disappeared after installing Apple OS X security update

I downloaded and installed Apple's new OS X security update (15 Sep 2008) for Power PC that became available via software update feature today.
When I restarted the computer as advised at the end of installation, my hard drive icon and all other desktop files disappeared. Safari works. In Apple menu, the shut down feature only works when Safari is active. Force quit feature shows Safari as the only item while Finder items keeps flashing and disappearing.

Dear BDAqua, Thank you very very much for your advice.
First, I tried the approach of 'safe booting'. The menu items on the top kept flickering and I could not get into either the 'applications' folder or the "users" folder.
Then, I saw your advice to pj3 on another thread about re-running the install disc that came with the computer. I did not have to run all the other steps because re-installing the system with the standard instructions took care of the problem. The hard drive and other desktop files as well as the finder re-appeared.
Thanks again for your kindness.
Cheers!

Almost Lost All My Folders/Data On Desktop After OS 10.5.3 UpdateToday

Folks, I need to report what happened today on my MacBook after I did the 10.5.3 update today. After the long updating process, the laptop restarted 2-3 times automatically until it finally got to my desktop. But to my surprise, every single folder and icons for files that I stored on my desktop had disappeared!! HELP. My HD is partitioned and my archive section had some of the data that was on the desktop, but I hadn't done my work backup yet. I then opened iTunes and got an error message that the app couldn't open and couldn't the index file.
I prepared for the worst. I immediately repaired permissions which I do anyway after software updates. The repair took awhile to finish up and the fan came on pretty fast. Then I got my LaCie BU FireWire HD and DataRescue ready for action. The external HD wouldn't mount. I figured because of the update, it's possible I would need a firmware fix now. Anyway, I restarted, the color ball was spinning, and miraculously one by one, all my icons were restored as well as my folders. I then did a complete immediate backup and my iTunes opened perfectly, nothing lost.
Anyway, all I can say is to all who do the update, better be sure your BU is done before doing the OS update. This the first time this has ever happened of any and all updates I have done previously.
Good luck and let us know if you experienced this same glitch after updating
Steve

Yes, we are warned and we get lazy and "trust" our Macs to never fail, especially when we do sw updates. I definitely got lucky this time and learned my lesson, believe me. What I don't understand is why did everything disappear after the first restart, but then was restored after repairing permissions and the next reboot. Everything appeared like magic. Saved me a lot of recovery time

After upgrading to Mavericks, all of my contacts disappeared. Did a "contacts archive" export and the file is 17mbs. Looks like there's data, but none of it at all displays. What gives? 20" iMac, early '09

HT1386 I was connected to my desktop to upload pictures but I tune activated and sucked up all my phone data and notes. I don't have I tune account, how can i get back those data??

My I phone was connected to my desktop to upload pictures, magically I tune activated and synced all my phone data and notes. I don't have Itune account.

This happened because you had not disabled automatic syncing in iTunes (so your phone synced when you connected it to your computer). If you haven't synced again since this happened you may be able to restore your phone to the backup created at the beginning of the sync process to recover your data. (If you have synced again the backup is already overwritten and your data is lost). To do this do the following:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Now connect your phone and import your photos if you haven't already done so (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).
Now open iTunes and right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Transfer Purchases (to transfer any recent purchases to your iTunes library prior to restore from backup).
Right-click on the name of your phone again and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

All iCal data disappears after 10.4.3 update

After updating to 10.4.3 all my iCal data was gone. I restored it using Backup and when I launched iCal it all appeared as normal—and then a few seconds later, poof, it all disappeared again right before my eyes. I tried making a new entry and at first it didn't seem to work, then all my iCal data reappeared for a few seconds, only to disappear again a few seconds later, leaving iCal "virgin" as if no entry had ever been made.
The current iCal version is 2.0.3. I have tried erasing preferences and starting over again to no avail. I have also repaired the disk and the permissions with no improvement.
Any suggestions anyone? This is one of the strangest OS X problems I have ever encountered.

Yes,,, how did you solve the problem specifically from all the suggestions you got?
I got a whole new powermac and used the migration assistant, but that didnt bring the information over for some reason (regarding iCal atleast, and some small unimportant pref files).
I tried faking a 'subscribe' situation, a drag and drop, emailing the ics file, manually inputting them into the new machine's folder and so on but no go. And I dont have a .mac account to try pushing them over...

Opened zip file of "Palm Desktop by ACCESS" and executed it - EVERY BIT OF MY CONTACTS & CALENDAR data is LOST!! ALL previous CALENDAR data is lost! Can anyone, PLEASE, help me to RESTORE ALL this INVALUABLE DATA, Please?!?

I thought I was just unloading an upgrade, for my Palm Tungsten E desktop software, as I unzipped and executed this compressed file.
ALL MY PERSONAL DATA IS GONE. Contact and Calendar. I cannot find the data in the Wastebasket. I cannot find any ARCHIVED Palm FILES. HOW can this be? How can it have LOST all my years of existing Data? Please, please can anyone help me to restore all this invaluable personal data?
Your advice would be ENORMOUSLY appreciated!
I've used PALM software since 1995, about, for Pete's sake! Nothing like this I though, COULD ever happen?!
Post relates to: Tungsten E

What is the OS of your computer? Windows or MAC? I see you stated "wastebasket" is this referring to the "Trash" on a MAC?
Do you still have your data on the handheld? If you do, you could change the hotsync conduits to handheld overwrites desktop and then sync.

All calendar data disappeared and no TC backup calendar folder.

All calendar data disappeared from two iphone5's, ipad 2, iMac and a PC simultaneously. Apple folks are stumped. Went to Time Capsule to look for calendar backups. All iMac backups are there, but no calendar folder. And suggestions or thoughts?

Turned out that Apple tech support folks were the only solution possible. Tried to restore calendar via TC, but calendar folder not visible and not instruction how to make it so. New OS has made that folder not readily visible to the average, but tech support came up with a work around that is far too complicated to explain here. Just give them a call. Marvelous folks, and they live and work in the US of A!

This is sometimes caused by Bad Blocks on the Hard Drive.
If 10.7, hold down Command-R at startup, and choose Disk Utility.
If 10.6 or earlier, boot to the Installer/Utilities DVD, answer only the "what language" question and wait for the MenuBar to be drawn. Choose Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu.
Select your Hard drive by Make & Model and check the SMART Status (lower right of the right window). Choose "Repair Disk" . This ONLY examines and repairs the Directory area of the drive, but may improve things a bit. If errors cannot be repaired, you may need a stronger tool, or a new drive.
