Associate data with re-installed software?

I have been a palm user since it was born and have never had a problem such as this. Nearly 2 weeks ago I came down with a nasty virus and have had to reimage my hard drive. I saved the palm data onto an external drive. I installed the desktop software off of the disc that came with my handheld and it asked if I wanted to get the latest software from the internet, which I did. When I went to hotsynch the Centro it wouldn't recognize my palm and said that I needed an updated version for Verizon - which I did, but then it wiped the device clean. I figured that wouldn't be so bad, since I had back up data. The problem is, now the desktop program is clean and my Centro is clean, and the data from my 2/28/2010 hotsynch is sitting in the drive with no way to get into the program. How does one go about telling the Palm OS Desktop where to look for this data? Thanks for any and all help.

This is not an official solution, but assuming you used the same username when you set up HotSync, I'd copy the folder named with your username from your backup over the one on your C drive and then fire up Palm Desktop and check whether it can "see" the data.

Upgrading from OSX 10.58 to 10.6 - any problems with previously installed software anyone?

I was wondering if anyone had had any problems with their current software after installing 10.6? (I'm asking because I have a substantial investment in the Adobe Creative Suites and don't want to lose it.) Has anyone had any problems after installing 10.6? Thank you in advance for any replies.

I would check the Adobe web site to see if it will be compatible. If there is an issue you may consider a partitioned HDD and run the two OSs each on separate partitions.
Ciao.

Wanted to buy MBP 15'' with already installed software...

Wanted to buy MBP 15'', and wonder if it's possible to order MBP at Apple store with already installed Parallel Desktop and Windows Xp Professional. Just wanted to have ready-to-use MBP. WinXp Professional - is essential for me.

From the Apple Store… no you can't. However, you might want to call them about contracting them to do it. The problem you have is that the Apple Store does not sell Windows licenses so you would need to provide it to them. Your best would be to find an Apple reseller thay'll do it for you as the Apple Store will not.

Preserving play data with fresh install

Due to a catastrophic error and probably too much trying to repair it without assistance, I'm forced with the prospect of uninstalling iTunes (9.0) and reinstalling 9.2. However, I've accumulated 7 years of playlists and play data that I'm unwilling to lose. Does the assembled wisdom here believe that there are files within the iTunes folder that, left alone, will remain in place after a complete uninstall and reinstall?
Specifically, I see rather large files in C:\(user)\Music\iTunes (OS = Vista 64-bit) with names like iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml, many of which appear to have been updated the last time I was able to launch iTunes.
Is the wise course of action to back up (or move entirely) those files, perform the un/re-install, then move them back into the iTunes folder?

So, I've backed up my entire iTunes folder, ran the uninstall directions for 64-bit Vista, uninstalled and deleted everything as listed at the appropriate window in http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/, and the installation still refuses to complete. The first attempt threw an error listing an insanely long registry key. Subsequent attempts using the Repair option in the installer says the install has completed successfully, but iTunes Helper then throws an error reading
"Apple Application Support was not found.
"Apple Application Support is required to run iTunesHelper. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again.
"Error 1"
For the record, I've had zero problems with iTunes since its first Windows release (including syncing with two different iPods over the past three years). It wasn't until I was forced into the 9.2 upgrade to sync my new iPhone4 (from 9.0.something) that I experienced this problem at all.
Since I can't get my iPhone serial # without iTunes, and can't launch iTunes, I can't get through the procedure to open a support call.
If anyone has any insight into how to get out of this ridiculous situation, I'd appreciate it.

What will happen with my installed softwares?

Hi I am using MacBook Pro with C2D and having latest version of SL. But I have installed lots of software useful for my business including virtual machine and I am using Windows 7 ultimate on it. So I am wondering what will happen if I upgrade this to Lion? Do I need to install everything again or it will be as it is like on my snow leopard?

I don't know about VMware, but I can tell you that when I opened Windows XP the first time in Parallels after upgrading to Lion, I had to re-setup the virtual machine. Other than this, no problems. CS3 and older WILL NOT run in Lion, but CS4 and newer run without problems.
Go to About this Mac > applications, and here you can see which of your applications are PowerPC, thus not compatible with Lion.
Cheers

Error 150:30 with re-installed software

I just changed computers and transferred my profile through time machine from a Mac to a new Mac. All my programs were transferred but when I try to launch any product of the suite CS4 I purchased and activated on my previous computer I get a message saying "Licensing for this prodict has stopped working...error 150:30".
Please let me know what I have to do to get the software working properly again.
Thank you very much.

With Adobe software, it's usually better to uninstall and reinstall so that the licensing mechanism is set up correctly.

When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages. When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

I recently upgraded to iWork v9.0.3, but when I access each applications the versions are different (i.e. Pages V.4.1, Numbers V2.6, Keynote V5.1.1) with a install date of 3/18/09 -- which is not the current install date of 2 weeks ago. Why?

I recently upgraded to iWork v9.0.3, but when I access each applications the versions are different (i.e. Pages V.4.1, Numbers V2.6, Keynote V5.1.1) with a install date of 3/18/09 -- which is not the current install date of 2 weeks ago. Shouldn't Pages, Numbers, and Keynote show version 9.?? My MAC confirned installation of v9.0.3 and even accepted the software code. With this discrepancy, how can I determine if the latest was installed and operational? I even downloading v9.0.4, 9.0.5, and 9.1. When I tried installing these downloads it popped up note stating that a later version of Keynote was already installed.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word. When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else. I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph. As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond. I have to force quit. After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
Any similar problems?

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:

I have an IPhone 4 which I just updated with the latest software, which put in it in Recovery Mode. It has the picture of the plug with ITunes, I downloaded it now its saying its in Recovery Mode, how do I save all of my previous data without Restoring?
I updated the phone before backing it up on iTunes, now the update wanted me to connect the phone with iTunes and it says the phones in recovery mode and it must be restored before its used with iTunes. I go to click restore and it says it will reset it to factory default and I'll lose all my current data. I have all my sons pictures and videos along with this notes. I can't lose all of this data! Please help!

You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....

System Failure While Installing Software: 76gb free HD space? Data Gone?

While installing software on my less than one year old mini, the installation hung and had to boot system. Upon restart, flashing icons, (folder, apple emblem, circle with slash) then just folder with ?.
I then booted from install disk, ran disk utility. Now I have one folder with nothing in it. Can not boot to start up disk (doesn't recognize).
Apple will test and fix under warranty, but, I need to know if data is recoverable. Normally I wouldn't care about the data, but my wife recently passed away and I really need to recover what I can.
I have tried DiskWarrior, but it says the drive is ok, but only shows the one folder. Data Recovery from Pro Soft (bootable demo version) doesn't appear to be
helping much either.
Any ideas out there?

The fact that multiple "players" are involved in this scenario makes me worry that someone has erased and reformatted the hard drive along the way.
Hopefully that didn't happen, but 76 gig free is ominous on a 80 gig drive, because so-called 80 gig drives in fact hold 76 gig -- but as you suggest, it could just be the recovery program's way of reporting the disk size.
Nonetheless, unless the disk has been "zeroed" (which takes a fair amount of time and effort) some data should be recoverable with the right techniques.
The devil is in the details, though. So please provide as much info as possible about what has happened so far. And also, what kinds of files you want to recover?

Re-install software after uninstall with home using universal installer

after uninstalling 10g software with home using universal installer how to re-install without deleting all components of database like the database exists i just want to put the oracle software on it and reusing x home location.

Tofayel Ahmad wrote:
when it about linux then what would be the job.re-installing software in linux or windows like establishing a new database Regardless of the OS, installing the software is distinct from "establishing" a database. You can install the software without creating a database, but you cannot create a database without having installed the software.
so it's need time but for some missing services or few software components that would be a more costing. if there is a possible action that could restore the missing services in home. Huh?
The concept of "services" in Windows doesn't exist in Linux.
i thought it's would be great to startup the database in less time then installing. if i would install the software and using backup data file recover then is it a consistent recovery or inconsistent recovery.All recoveries that complete are consistent. Not all backups are consistent, but when you do a recovery, the redo stream is applied from the archivelog files to make the recovery "consistent".
so when ever need to recover what should require for consistent recovery so that i can say without this all other type of recovery jobs are inconsistent.there is no such thing as "inconsistent" recovery. You are either able to recover from your backups, or you are not able to recover. If you are able to recover, you are "consistent". Now, mind you, that does NOT necessarily mean your recovery will recover all data up to the point of failure. your ability to do that depends on having all the necessary backups, including archivelogs and ultimately, intact online redo logs. Without that, the best you can do is a point-in-time recovery. But it will still be "consistent" with the point in time to which you recover.
i am asking because as far i know i understand that no client would agree to go for inconsistent recovery. as i mentioned i am a new comer i have lot of confusion please if possible give some details. Well, I wouldn't agree to go for an inconsistent recovery, as no such thing exists. If you are talking about point-in-time recovery with potential data loss - it depends entirely on the client, the application, and the tolerance for data loss. Banking transactions cannot afford any loss of transaction data and so must have very robust systems with comprehensive, multi-level backups. Some other systems can be surprisingly forgiving.

Replaced hard drive/ with new install, bad modification dates

Does anyone know how to get rid of bad modification dates that appeared when system (10.3.9) was re-installed after replacement of hard drive on powerbook?
Tech Tools Pro didn't fix it.
The dates for Sherlock, Text Edit, DVD player, ical,isync (even explorer) all say April 1, 1976. That's April Fool's Day and I was 30 years younger, but .... Any ideas?

Sharon Chard-Yaron...
Something is odd here as a few weeks ago I was forced into a reformat and a reinstall of my Mac OS.
I reformatted / partitioned / installed Mac OS 10.3.5(+) first, as it is where my Panther CD set starts from. However it prompted me to confirm that my dates was corrected before continuing with the install. It seemed rather serious that unpredictable results could happen if those dates was wrong.
(+)(Later of course, I did update to 10.3.9 from my backup of download goodies and Software Update panel.)
Anyway, my time and dates was messed up and I reset them from within that install.
Now- did you get any time/date prompt during the install like I did?
Mac OS 10 installs so many files that I feel it could be a disaster waiting for a time/date to happen on. Unless there is some gifted fix utility that I am not aware of, nothing short to re-doing everything would clear my conscience to a bug free install.
