Blackberry Sync and MacBook: Where did my data go?

I just used Blackberry Desktop Software to sync my Blackberry with my MacBook for the first time. Everything seemed to proceed properly, with no error message of any kind or anything else to indicate any problem.
But now my Data is off my phone...And I can't find it on the MacBook. I've searched Mail, Entourage, the Hard Drive....
Anybody have any idea where my contacts and memos went?

are you roaming? sometimes data is delayed if you are not on verizon towers
are you sure the mifi was off, do you have kids? maybe they were awake after all..
data used is data used.. vzw just offeres you the ability to connect, what you do with it is up to you

My itunes wont auto sync my iphone 4 after i connect it to itunes. But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day.

But it can auto sync when i connect it to my old laptop. what's the problem that it can't auto sync and when i did a backup in my new laptop, it was corrupted the next day and i was forced to use back a backup which i did in my old laptop 4 months ago. do i have to reinstall the itunes? will my backups be corrupted after i sync again? pls guide.
P.S/ its the latest version of the itunes whenever i did the backups.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

I use firefox 3.6.20 and the firefox sync plugin dissapered, where did it go?

Not sure if it needs more information besdies I went to the "what is firefox sync" and got to the install wher ethere was no plugin
was: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-set-up-firefox-sync
then: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-sync/
says: "This add-on has been removed by its author. "

Firefox is not offering the Sync add-on to Firefox 3.6 users any longer. If you update to a Firefox 4+ version, you'll be able to use Sync - it is built into the Firefox 4+ versions and doesn't need an add-on.
The Sync service has been expanded to include add-ons ''(in the Nightly 12.0 versions for now)'' within the last week or so, and I suspect Mozilla didn't want to update the Sync add-on for a version which won't be supported for much longer - 3.6 support is slated to end in April.

EXDATE's BlackBerry Syncing and other discoveries

Friends:
I may be wrong, but when my BlackBerry refused to sync with my Mac, I did some investigating and found that the BlackBerry Desktop manager does not handle Exception dates very well. Thus I started looking for these in the iCal database.
I tried this and it might work for you. As always, I recommend dragging a copy of the folder you will edit out of the Library (to your desktop)before making these edits, so if something goes wrong, you can replace the folder you destroyed.
If someone in the know can comment and explain about EXDATE's I would appreciate it since this is kind of like blind editing, and though it has worked for me, I would like to know why or if there is a better way. I feel kind of like a monkey with a machine gun doing this edit.
Repairing iCal Calendar problems by editing the .ics files found in user/Library/Calendars/xxxxxxxx.calendar
BlackBerry desktop manager does not like Exception dates EXDATE's. The calendar synchronization fails when it finds one. Thus we must get rid of them.
Go into each file dragging each file into text edit and look for EXDATE lines and remove them:

Delete all the EXDATE Lines, and save. I did this by dragging each file to Text Edit and saving after the edit.

speaking candidly, being a "business professional" may I suggest an alternative approach at this point in time.
Personally, I have categorized my material into four sub groupings
(complex)     - Documents with dependencies (business systems designs, modifications, notes best practices)
(active)         - currently being used or modified / pending delivery
(processed)   - rececntly completed (30-60 days)
(inactive)      - 60 days or older
I then looked at what worked best on my mac, ipad, iphone and pc used with the cloud.
Personally, I discovered that my actives and recently completed worked well in the cloud as long as i did not make them to complex in nature (keeping it simple)
I then looked for alternative storages, usb, pocket drives to keep the intergration i desired for complex, processed and inactives.
I also explored other sources to save my information (best practices/ease of use etc)
dropbox, box, alfresco, skydrive, soonr
I discovered a happy hybrid between the cloud and alternative sources.
Now to your question, I do not believe you were off in your expectations and most likely overtime things will be rectified or improved upon.... my personal thoughts are those of (if I am able to introduce information into a document - as long as my formats are compatable my products accross the boad should work successfully)
I would also advise you contact apple support under mountain lion (since it is new and u have 90 days of support as of purchase date) and discuss the issue in greater detail, addressing document size, space utilizations, syncing and the best practices aspects of notes and document integration.
They may have the information to help you suceed in your qwest,.

ICloud and iTunes: Where did it go?

I paid up for iCloud to be able to have my music backed up on the Cloud. The last time, my MAC crashed fatally and I lost everything--even though it was supposedly backed up on another server.
Anyway, this time I backed up everything to the Cloud! Or so I thought.
I just purchased some new iTunes music and wanted to back it up to the Cloud.
Uh, oh.
No iCloud on iTunes. Went to Sys Pref and iCloud. No way to back it up there either since iTunes isn't an option.
Went through every iTunes menu. Nothing there either.
Where did all my 'Cloud' music go to? Where is the iCloud backup for iTunes?
Why is everything on Apple such a hassle?!?!?
Please don't tell me I have to go to the 'genius bar' to get this cleared up.

Hi Banktank,
iCloud does back up your Music, but you have no direct way to acces it. Also, iCloud is not intended to be a backup for your computer. If you want to protect your computer, you should be backing it up to an external drive using Time Machine.
The primary purpose of iCloud is to provide you with a single source to share Music, Photos, Documents, etc. between your devices and your computer. It is not designed as a backup, but can be used to back up certain information for your IOS devices - not your computer. Here is an article explaining this:

Hope this helps!

Issue with blackberry sync and contact lists

Hello!
To the bone: I'm having trouble synchronizating my contacts between my blackberry and microsoft oulook 10. The thing is that my contacts are in different lists in my blackberry and when I try to sync them with outlook (BB to outlook) it only synchronizes one list of contacts.
Any suggestions?
Regards

How to sync and let the address book data overtake everything on my phone?

Hi everyone!
I have a Sony Ericsson k750i.
I have no problems whatsoever syncing when I first got my phone etc.
In all my address book entries, I have updated all of my numbers to have the international dialling code before each of the numbers. I now want to sync with my phone again to ensure that all the numbers in my phone now have the new numbers that are entered on address book.
How can I use iSync to ensure my phone only takes what is in my address book and my address book basically ignores the data from my phone?
I hope this makes sense!!
Thanks in advance!

If you want to overwrite the data representing contacts and calendars on you mobile handset with data from the Address Book and iCal, you should reinitialize the truth database by either…
• removing, then adding back [and reconfiguring] your device, or
• opening the iSync Preferences… dialog, and selecting the Reset Sync History… option.
Neither step will affect your data store, but it will compel the Sync Services framework to behave as if it were a first-time synchronization, and give you the opportunity to Replace or Merge the data with your handset. You should choose Replace.

Where did these .dat files come from?

A couple days ago, while in Ghana, I was suddenly unable to send Microsoft file attachments; the files show up at my recipients as .dat files. How can I fix this?

I will try to put keywords so people find this thread.
Thanks to liaoyunhe we found "fast" the origin of our problem.
The problem is itself related to the usage of Microsoft's JDBC driver for SQL 2000 service pack 3 (�why to use M$-$QL on java?).
We currently use the same code with Postgres and also with JTDS drivers and there is no such problem.
What liaoyunhe says is absolutely true: you have to close ALL resultsets and ALL statements so there is no problem with the srt scb files.
We were stressing the application and after a while we got an "Too many files open" exception and we were able to count 39.000 srt+scb files with lsof.
After carefully reviewing our code, we found that we were not closing one resultset on a connection we re-use and the tmps were created and not released.
Thanks again liaoyunhe.
Thanks Micro$oft for giving us some extra work :-)

Where did my data go

I received an Acrobat form and completed most of it a while ago. Yesterday I opened the same file so I could update one of the fields in the form. When I clicked Forms in the menu bar, “Edit Form in Designer” had replaced “Add or Edit Fields.”
So, I clicked Edit Form in Designer. The problem is that none of the fields I previously completed now have data in them. The data is there when I open the form in Acrobat, but not when I click Edit Form in Designer.
How do I get my data to show up in the LifeCyle option? Can I get rid of LifeCycle altogether?
Thanks,
Rod
System:
Acrobat 9.2
Win 7 Ultimate, 64 bit
Dell T3400
Intel Core 2 Quad
8 gig RAM

When you edit in Designer you are being shown the template that was used to collect the data. Data and template are kept separately. You coudl export your data from the form, make your changes to the template then import your data again. There are menu options under Forms/Manage Form Data in Acroabt and Reader.
Hope that helps

I have a Blackberry Ipad and Macbook. I use gmail for email. Is there a way I can synch Notes, calendar and contacts.

Baffled by all these separate contacts which are doubled up in some places or tripled up. I am not techy.
I can't see myself depending on ICloud as I don't want to take on another expense for storage space. I really want to get the BB q10 and make it all work.

For the iPad, see:
https://support.google.com/mail/answer/3008051?hl=en
For the Mac, see:
https://support.google.com/a/answer/1366863?hl=en
You'll need to look to a Blackberry support site for help with that device.
iCloud is free for up to 5GB, by the way, but it won't work with your Blackberry so as long as you have that unit iCloud is probably not an option for you.

"Archive and Install" - Where did the folder go??

I have had many problems with applications crashing since my upgrade to Leopard and Apple recommended that I do a Archive and Install of the system.
I started it last night and went to bed.
When I woke up it was done...
Now I can not find the folder with my old system copy. Where is it and what is it called?
Looking at the space on the hard drive, I expected a big chunk to be used for this folder but I can not see that much of the hard drive have been used.

Hi,
Open a finder window, click on your hard drive, and you should see a folder named "Previous System Folder"
Follow Apple's advice on how to delete it - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25461

I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress." where did this window go, and how do I get it back?

Hi; I can no longer view my iTunes "sync in progress" window--the window that tells me each thing that is syncing, etc. Where did it go, and how do I get it back? Thanks if you can help--I was on the phone with Apple for 7 minutes on hold and then they just cut me off. (Nice).

Now, I find myself unable to update my version of Itunes. it asks me if I wish to update the version, I say yes, and then nothing happens.
With that one, I'd try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file, downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

How do I use hotmail via Blackberry services and not via phone network so not using up my data?

Hi,
I have a new Blackberry 9360 and am having trouble with it. They said in the shop that I can access my yahoo mail without using up my 250mb of internet data, so can access it using the Blackberry services rather than the internet. I can't work out how to do this and can only seem to use the email through the internet where the messages come into my 'Messages' on the 'Home' screen, therefore I'm using up my data every time I open an email message when it comes in.
Can anyone please help me as I'm wishing I could go back to Nokia at the mo!
Many thanks.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
They gave me the impresssion in the shop that I could access my existing yahoo hotmail, send and receive messages on it for free via the BlackBerry services and not use up my data allowance and they didn't mean the Blackberry email which is a different thing. Have they misled me with this?
Many thanks for any advice.
