Computer crashed - trying to recover!

I now have a new PC hard drive and have re-installed the software for m500. My m500 does not have my current files. However, I did back up my "Palm" folder from my PC to an external HD. Is there a way to bring all my contact data into the newly installed software on my main hard drive?
Thanks so very much!

Look in the Palm folder for the Palm Desktop username folder on the hard drive that has the Palm folder. Copy that folder. Paste the folder in the Palm folder on the new hard drive. If you are using the exact same version of Palm Desktop, this should work.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

Computer crashed, trying to recover lost mail and address book

My old computer died, I now have a new one. I've recovered the *.default folder from the old hard disk, but not sure how to use it in respect of a newly installed Thunderbird client on my new computer. I'd like to be able to recover my address book at least, but also old mail if possible. There's hardly anything in my new client at the moment, so one-for-one replacement wouldn't be the worst solution.

Matt, thanks for the response. The page you pointed to didn't help directly, it seemed to be referring to a much older version of Thunderbird? In any case, it did push me back to something I'd tried earlier and failed, with the nett result that I now have my old mail back. So, thanks to you for taking the time to answer, and thanks again for pushing me in the right direction.
For the record; I set up a dummy mail account, and located it's Mail folder in the ********.default location, then copied into that folder all the contents of the equivalent folder on my old hard drive. Next time I started Thunderbird all the old mail appeared under the dummy account. Result! :-)

Computer crashed need to recover work

How do I recover work in final cut pro x after my computer crashed? Is there an auto save file

Hi, I've been abe to reinstate corrupt or "damaged" FCPX projects by simply digging into the structures where you maintain your FCPX project as follows:
/volumes/some_file_system_thats_yours/Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing/
and listing these directories that are common to ALL FCPX projext in that file system. These are:
Backups
CurrentVersion.fcpproject
Old Versions
Render Files
Shared Items
The CurrentVersion.fcpproject object is the one that is trying to be LOADED by FCPX whe u expose or select in the UI... so
just rename it (CurrentVersion.fcpproject -> CurrentVersion.fcpproject_old) or MOVE it somewhere where out of Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing u might want to get at it later if u have too.)
Simply navigate to /volumes/some_file_system_thats_yours/Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing/Backups and DUPLICATE (copy) the first one (e.g. CurrentVersion (655 - 2011-09-25 02-18-36 +0000).fcpproject) in that folder back to the corrupted project folder Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing and rename it to CurrentVersion.fcpproject
Fire up (launch) FCP X 10.0.7 and see if your project comes back to life!
IF not repeat the above steps and this time try each of the .fcpprojects in /volumes/some_file_system_thats_yours/Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing/Old Versions
Usually you can get your work back.
I recall in a previous version of FCPX you could cntl+"gear down" (RMB) on the FCPX Icon in the dock and previous versions of projects would show up for selections. I'll stand corrected. Anyway Its not around in 10.0.7 or .6
There's probably a better way to do tis.. I'm interested ofcourse . This works quite well though....
Yeah timemachine.app is lovely but useless for the large objects in Final cut EVEnts and Final Cut PRojects that are maintains on filesystems that are not in the main sart up file system. I'd suggest that your acquire soem additional storgage ( a self powered external powersupply disk, cloud or LTO tape etc) and simply rsync -rav --progress your Final Cut Projects from your production file systems to make an up to date instance of your work. If you have the original media elsewhere there would be less need to also maintin this.
Try this and post your results back for others to see.

Computer Crashed- trying to get songs onto new iTunes

My computer crashed a few weeks ago. I am trying to get the songs I purchased on my "old" computer that are now only on my iPod onto my "new" computer. I somehow was only able to transfer 3 songs that I had bought. I don't know how I could only transfer 3 and not the rest. Please help!

Were the songs all purchased from a single Store account or from more than one. If the songs were purchased under different accounts then you would need to authorise the computer for each one. Failing that there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists (including purchases) from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

HTC Rhyme crashed - trying to recover sms from sd card

Hello. HTC Rhyme crashed and I'm trying to recover SMS texts from the SD Card. There is a folder on the SD card labeled "sms_backup". WIthin that folder, there is an unidentifiable file that is 29KB. In the type of file block, it simply says "File." Can I restore these on the phone to a readable format - if so, how? Tried to transfer to a PC just for historical purposes, but regardless of which program I use to open it, it comes up in some type of cryptic code. Please help.

Jay1, I know it can be difficult to lose precious info on your phone! The phone does not automatically backup SMS. Do you remember previously downloading an SMS backup application? If you did, you can re-download that application to recover your SMS. Search for SMS backup applications in the PlayStore and give it a try.

Computer crashed. trying to play my itunes i reinstalled

My computer crashed and I had to wipe the whole thing out. I had backed my iTunes on a portable hard drive. I have updated everything I can. I moved my iTunes from my portable hard drive to iTunes. I see them there. When I click on a song to play I get this message. “Could not be used because the original file could not be found, would you like to locate it”. What do I need to do to be able to pay them?

Old computer crashed-trying to transfer library to new one via DVD copy?

Our old computer crashed after a lightning strike and we managed to get all the data off via a computer 'guy' who copied it all to DVD. Now when I try to put it on ITunes it keeps telling me I have to insert the disk as it can't locate the file.
What am I doing wrong and can anyone help?

Computer crashed, trying to register on new computer

My computer recently crashed which had I think CS5. (Cant remember if it was 5.5 or 5.) I have gotten a new computer now and am trying to install the program on my new Mac. I have logged into my adobe account but it does not show any products registered. I originally installed adobe from a disk but have since lost the disk. I have the serial number, but it says it has already been registered. Is there any way to help me install this onto my new computer?

You can only register a product once. That is not the same as activating a product, which is what you will use the serial number for. As long as you have the serial number you should be able to download the installation files and use the serial number to activate. You will have to figure out whether it is for CS5 or CS5.5 though.
CS5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-5-product-downloads.html
If you get any message regarding your activations being used up you can contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.
For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Computer crashed can't recover songs

The computer with my original itunes crashed so my ipod touch is the only device that still has all my songs. I bought a new computer and now i need to get all of the songs (including the ones i did not purchase on itunes) onto the new computer. I have tried putting the ipod in manual, but it doesn't work. Even when I put it in manual it still doesn't show up as a drive on my computer. Any help would be much appreciated

iTunes will only let you copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchased songs and in some cases, videos and games) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Computer Crashed, Trying to sync iphone

My computer recently crashed and I had to start from ground zero. I have not put all of my info back onto my computer yet so I don't want to sync it to the new version of my computer but I want to be able to add an app I downloaded on my laptop to my iphone. Everything is grayed out and my only option is to sync. I have authorized this computer to my old account, but there are no backup files of my old itunes on my computer at this point.

Old computer crashed, need to recover info to new computer that has FF now installed and somethings setup. Need to pick and chose what is brought over from old

Had to buy new computer and it is windows 8.1 vs the old was XP. It took 10 days to get the cabling to connect the old HD to new computer USB port.
I need the computer for my work so I had to manually configure and set up enough to keep working. This includes FF.
Now that I have access to the old HD I want to selective bring over things from the old FF configuration and set up as I do not want to destroy the what I have already set up and configured. I guess you could say I am looking to do a selective merge of the two configuration and user data files.

See this support article - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile
Any file that you copy from the old Profile into the new Profile ''(will overwrite the new file)'' will delete the info that is in the new Profile.
Tell us exactly what data you want to actually "merge" and we might have a solution for you. Bookmarks are easy to "merge" once you know how; other types of data aren't as easy to "merge".

Itouch stolen and computer crashed - need help recovering

Hope someone can help with this. My touch was stolen at the beginning of the week. Followed up by a motherboard crash on my Dell.
I've pulled the hard drive and put it into an external case and attached it to my netbook which is an authorized computer. I can't deauthorize the old computer.
So now I've got an iPhone4 and would like to get all my music, purchased and otherwise onto my netbook and synced with my iPhone.
I did a search on restore from backup but didn't really find a solution as I don't have the touch any more.
Any help on figuring out how to work through this would be appreciated.

My computer crashed, trying to reinstall LR 5, already installed on laptop

I got the blue screen of death on my desktop computer. I can't reload LR5 because one install is on laptop and other install was on computer that crashed. I have the s/n. I also have the same problem with photoshop elements.

Lightroom is not controlled by Adobe as far as the number of installations that are actually installed. The license grants you permission to have Lightroom installed on two computers, but there is no formal activation process. Photoshop Elements might be different, but this is the Lightroom forum. If you have the serial number, then you should be able to install Lightroom.
