Any way to tranfer contact information from a Palm Pre with a broken touch screen?

My beloved Palm Pre died last Friday with the touch screen failing. It simply stopped responding to inputs. I am able to unlock the phone and enter some commands from the slide out keypad, but I can't do much. For example, I can type in "contacts" under just-type and then hit enter and it will take me to the contacts screen. However, at that point I can't navigate around or open any contacts. Other commands don't respond to the slide out keypad, such as the "USB Drive" prompt when I plug the phone into my laptop.
I have several contacts saved on the phone (and some on the SIM) that I can no longer access. Most were backed up to my Outlook contacts but many are not. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can move these to an alternate source (Outlook, Google, Desktop, etc) where I can then recover them. I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks,
Crash.

There are several methods to export Palm Profile contacts such as:
http://www.webosnation.com/how-to-export-and-move-your-contacts-patch
and
http://www.webosnation.com/how-to-export-your-webos-contacts-csv
but they all require a device with a responsive touchscreen. I am unaware of any way to access your webOS Profile data from HP's backup servers directly, without a device.
So...if you either know someone with a webOS device you could borrow, or find an inexpensive used one (eg eBay...or if you could use Verizon, get a no-contract Pre 2 from BestBuy for a mere $45!!!), and if you had Backup turned on, you should be able to restore them all by signing into your account on a replacement webOS device.

HT1414 I forgot to backup my phone before I did this. Is there any way to retrieve my information from my phone before I restore it and lose everything?

I didn't restore the phone yet, I just updated and It says it's now in recovery mode, and that I need to restore it. Is there anything I can do to save anything?

Any way to extract iMessage information from encrypted iTunes backup?

I have an encrypted backup, from which I'd like to extract a single iMessage thread (which dates back some 2 years, many attachements there that I'd like to be saved). Any way to do it? I have tried likes of Aiseesoft (yes even the full version) but it won't accept it due to encryption. Is there a way to delete the encryption?I know the password for it, can't unlock it anywhere. Is it possible if I roll back to iTunes 8-9? IIRC you could choose there whether to encrypt it or not.

No, it's simply not possible to crack the encryption or turn it off short of entering the encryption passcode during the restore process.

Any way to extract contact data from old data.syncdb files????

Had the unfortunate consequence of a power outage corrupting my address book database, which then populated to all other devices it synched to - iPhone, Entourage, even .Mac online. Now all contacts are gone.
No, I didn't have a backup (smack my wrists), but in digging into user/library/syncservices/local, I found a bunch of files called data.syncdb. Opening these files in text edit yielded lines and lines of code, and a cursory glance indicates that at least some of the old contact data is stored in these files.
How do I extract this data? I have done search after search for procedures, but all I can find on the web is how deleting these files makes synch happen faster. I don't want to delete these files, as they seem to contain the last vestiges of my contacts?
Any ideas???

You cannot without having a working version of the original OS X / Logic / K1 combo installed on a Mac... which is what you stated in your post.
The Kontakt 'data' is not stored in the LSO file as such.... Just 'pointers' to the data that is stored within Kontakt and it's libraies itself. No installed Kontakt 1... no data... and no way to get to it.

Is there any way to print out information from the Health Dashboard such as Blood Pressure readings to take to doctor?

I am having to keep track of my blood pressure for several weeks and then take them to the doctor just to make sure I'm doing okay. Is there a way to print out the readings that I have entered into the dashboard on the Health App? Or am I going to have to copy down all those weeks worth of readings by hand?

Thanks for the reply. I hope in the near future they make it an option. Maybe that you can email it like you can with notes.
I will have my phone with me but they will need a hard copy to scan in to my records or at least to enter manually in to their system. Maybe I will just start keeping track of my health info in the notes app again so I can email myself a copy to print.

Any way to unlock an iPad with severly broken touch screen

My boss left his iPad 3 on the roof of his car. We located it through iCloud (he has one with an AT&T data plan) and recovered it. It is severly damaaged but the backlight does come on and it does connect to iTunes. We've already used iCloud to transfer his account to a new iPad, but he has 12GB of pics that are still on the device. Unfortunately when it was first lost I the iPad in Lost mode through iCloud. I took some sheets of paper and used another ipad to make a template of where the slide to unlock was located and the keypad to enter our passcode. I don't think the digitizer is working at all as I'm entering the passcode but it is not unlocking and thus I can't get it to back up in iTunes until it is unlocked. Is there any other way to enter the passcode other than the iPad screen?

Still can't unlock the device, but after putting it on a charger for awhile and then reconnecting to my PC, the DCIM folder contianing the pics is showing up through Windows Explorer. I'm just going to pull the pictures off that way. That pictures were the only items I couldn't get through the iCloud back up.

Is there any way to salvage contact info, media and call logs from an account that is currently suspended

Is there any way to salvage contact info, media and call logs from an account that is currently suspended

Hello screamer666.
I definitely understand wanting to maintain your information. If you have suspended your account, you are still able to access your My Verizon online account to review contacts saved with Backup Assistant or media and call logs saved with Verizon Cloud. Are you having trouble accessing your account?

I upgraded to Ios5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?

I upgraded to IOS5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?

Thanks but have tried that - When I try to restore I get a -50 error and into a loop of taking another back up. I took a copy of the back up before the IOS upgrade and have it stored on my desk top but I cannot get Itunes to restore to that back up
Any ideas how I can do this?

HT204150 Is there any way to import contacts from microsim?

Is there any way to import contacts from microsim?

You're welcome. It might be a longshot, but you might be able to take the sim to your carrier and see if they can help. They frequently transfer contacts between devices so they would at least have a sim reader and may be wiling to give you a vCard (.vcf) file with the contacts. If you could get a combo .vcf file that was compatible, you could email that to yourself, then open the email on your iPad and tap the file to import the contacts.

Is there any way to get contacts back after them being deleted form iCloud?

My dad recently asked me to update his phone, so I plugged it into my computer to do so. For some reason just doing that resulted in his settings to change to have iCloud contact sync on. This resulted in our contacts syncing so his would show up on my phone and mine on his. He went on to delete all of my contacts from his phone, not realizing they were also being deleted on iCloud (therefore from my phone as well). I don't even understand why my contacts were not saved on my phone in the first place but all transfered to iCloud, but now they are gone from there as well. I tried restoring my phone from a backup on my computer a few weeks ago, however, this just restored everything else except for the contacts. So what I'm asking if there is any way to get contacts back that were ONLY on iCloud (because apparently apple doesn't realize saving something to a single place on the cloud isn't a good backup) but now are deleted. Does iCloud save this sort of information even after it is deleted?

The issue isn't that I need to restore the contacts from iCloud to my phone, it's that the contacts on my iCloud themselves have been deleted.
The contacts might be deleted from icloud.com, but if they were on your phone when you created your last backup, they can be restored from your backup by following the user tip. The backup is separate from the data you see on icloud.com.

If meta data LUN is totaly destroied , is there any way to rebuild the data from the video LUN

If meta data LUN is totaly destroied , is there any way to rebuild the data from the video LUN ????

What happened to your metadata? Are you sure the metadata is gone?
In theory, file carving could be attempted on the data LUNs, but you would need a tool that understands how Xsan lays out data across LUNs in a stripe group and hope your fragmentation isn't too bad. I doubt such a tool exists, but if one does it almost certainly is not publicly available. You should probably contact a data recovery service with experience recovering data from Xsan. Do that before you do anything else if this data is really important.

Is there any way to remove the duration from the course outline in Presenter 8?

Is there any way to remove the duration from the course outline in Presenter 8? I would prefer to not have that listed if at all posible and can't find a solution.

Are you talking about the Time Remaining display on the side bar? The text for that field is in the Modify Text Labels... tool in the Theme Editor of Presenter. You can change it to whatever you want, but you may want to keep a record of what the default text labels are, as there is no restore to default option. The Elapsed Time field is what you would want to change. I have seen this modified to show no text, copyright information or other general info.

I have cs4 installed on my old computer, i have since lost the disk and serial #s. Is there any way to recover this information and install the programs on my new computer? I used my old computer for college and haven't used it in awhile, now I have a job that can benefit from having those programs. I was wondering if ADOBE keeps records or something to where I can download the programs on my new MacBook and use my old serial #s.
