Data loss after routine synch with m515

I just did a hot synch and discovered that almost all of my datebook info has been wiped out from both my handheld & the desktop!! the synch log contains the following message: "-- Date Book
- Some handheld records were not copied to your PC. Your computer may be full or you may have reached the maximum allowed records on the desktop."
Only about 5% of past calendar entries are still there, and about 10% of current/future entries.
I went to the datebook.bak file but it is the same as the data file inspite of the fact I only synched the one time.
Can someone please tell me there is hope for retrieving my data? Should I just throw the Palm pilot out the window and go back to good old fashioned pen & paper? This is not the first time I have suffered a complete data loss with these things - the last time was when I upgraded to a new palm & in spite of following the directions exactly, everything was lost.
Thanks much, Janette

Thanks a lot for responding, Aeisha. I did the search & found the largest datebook.bak file. I opened the palm desktop & used the import option. I selected the exact location specified by the search results but the files don't match! For example, the file found by searching is a bak file & its size is 1311 kb, but when I get to the location(thru palm import) in the folder tree where it's supposed to be, the only datebook file there is labeled "unfiled.dba" and is only 640 kb. I tried importing that but didn't get back any lost data.
Is there another way you were thinking I could "import"? Thank you for your help. Janette

Palm Desktop 6.2 won't read data file after IR synch with IIIC

I have Windows 7, an old IIIC, and Palm Desktop 6.2. Since I can use a USB with that combination, I synced with an infrared connection. The files made it to the Palm directory, but the desktop program won't read them. My previous version of Palm Desktop allowed me to search for the data directory, but I can't find a way to do so with 6.2. And, no, the older version wouldn't display the data, either, in spite of my specifying the path.
I'm so close! One more step and I won't have to buy a smart phone and pay a monthly fee to carry around my contact date. Please help.

Palm Desktop 6.2.2 is not an upgrade to 4.x! It was designed to fix the things Microsoft broke when Vista was born.
It lacks many features that existed for many years in the 4.x versions.
I'd suggest doing a Clean Uninstall and reinstall your original version!

Script that will help validate if there is any data loss after a DB restore

Hi,
I need to write a single script that will perform the following
operations:
1)return me the highy accessed tables across all databases.
2)List the count, Min and Max system date of the highy accessed tables returned from step 1.
The idea is to validate if there is any data loss to the highly transactional tables after a database restore operation has been performed.
Thanks.

Hello,
I would also like you to see nice blog by Aron,you can modify the script a bit to change according to your need

Hello Shanky,
The post would not be helpful too much for OP's requirement. The post was talking about when was the database last accessed. DMLs are not capturing in the script and also there will be many variant forms that can be applied for DML. Hence, I do not think,
the script would help too much.
Or Am I missing something?
Latheesh as i mentioed OP has to modify the script little bit may be add User_seek,user_update,user_scans.Still IMO there is no *perfect* way to actually analyze this.So I pointed out point in my original post.Also unless he has some timestamp he cannot
see min time when it was accessed ,max time can be taken from last user seek,scan,lookup time. Motive was to lethim know what he was trying to achieve cannot be axactly obtained by using sys.dm_index_usage_stats.Below query will give most accessed table
: Source (Query)
SELECT
t.name AS 'Table',
SUM(i.user_seeks + i.user_scans + i.user_lookups)
AS 'Total accesses',
SUM(i.user_seeks) AS 'Seeks',
SUM(i.user_scans) AS 'Scans',
SUM(i.user_lookups) AS 'Lookups'
FROM
sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats i RIGHT OUTER JOIN
sys.tables t ON (t.object_id = i.object_id)
GROUP BY
i.object_id,
t.name
ORDER BY [Total accesses] DESC

N95 time and data loss after shutdown

Hi! I own an unlocked N95 mobile phone with firmware version 12.0.013. The problem is that after shutdown and restarts the time and date is lost. I have disabled the option to get the time from the network operator. I have read on other forums that many other users have this problem too. Is this hardware or a firmware problem? If it's a firmware problem, when can I expect a firmware update that will fix it? My second question: are there different firmware versions for each language, because the T9 dictionary is very unusefull in the Romanian language. Many frequent words are not recognized, other are misspell. Does a firmware include an updated dictionary too? In advance, thank you very match.

Hi,
I have the same problem. Am also on firmware V12.0.0.13 (what ever it is).
I dont know exactly when my problem with lossing the date and time started but I dont think it was after i changed firmware.
I think the problem started when I had to formated my phone. It was running slow and getting temprimental. In fact am sure the date and time loss thing all started after I formated the phone.
The date and time is the only info I loss when I remove the battery every thing else is ok.

My Safari app wont open a new tab and crashes if I try, I've tried closing all apps and reopening. Its a new ipad air and only started doing this after I synched with itunes.

Hi,
I have a new iPad Air. Since I synched it with my itunes account - all my details have been uploaded which is great but Safari will only work with one page open. If I try to open a new Tab it crashes. I have tried turning it off and on again. I tried closing all my apps that were open - including Safari and opening it again. Not sure what else to try.

1. Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data
2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

Infocube data loss after BW Upgrade to 7.01 (SP 7)

HI,
We have recently upgraded from BW version 3.5 to 7.01 SP 7. It has been noticed that the pre-upgrade data from all the Infocubes have been wiped off since the upgrade. Data that were loaded into the cubes post-upgrade are fine though. The "Manage" screen on each of these cubes shows that all the data load requests (pre and post upgrade) are intact, however the underlying F & E tables do not have any of the pre-upgrade data (which sort of means that this data wasn't deleted from a BW transaction). Also, this has happened only for the Cubes - Master Data and DSO data seems to be fine.
Prior to the BW Upgrade, the underlying OS & DB were upgraded to versions AIX 6.1 and DB2 9.7 FP2 respectively. The data in the cubes existed after this step.
Has anyone seen or come across this issue before during the actual upgrade or any of the post-processing steps after that? Any help here will be appreciated!
Thanks
Anooj

Hi Anooj,
The note says that :-
When a cube in a source system contains no data, a user can set the
Line Item flag to TRUE for a particular dimension. If the user then
decides to transport this into a target system in which the target cube
DOES contain data, the dimension table is dropped and recreated. As a
result, DIMIDs in the Fact table now point to invalid entries in the
new Line Item dimension. This change should NOT be permitted and the
cube activation should be aborted instead.
Was the Line Item flag set in your infocubes , which may have led to the loss of data.
becuase SAP seems to be mentioning more on the Line Item flag side , or is it generally for the program for Infocube activation.
We have found that we lost the data in the CUBE , though there is no line item flag active.
Regards,
Hari

MySQL data loss after installing 10.8

I have been using MySQL on 10.7 for some time without problems. Since 'upgrading' to 10.8 I have been struck by many problems!
After the installation on OS x 10.8 I had to spend some time to get my testing environment working again as Apple have removed the Web Sharing by default. Also during the 'update' it changed the configuration of the web server leaving my current setup broken.
I'm now back up and running with a fully functioning web server and MySQL database system.
The problem I have now is that the 'update' wiped the database information in the data folder for MySQL. Not a problem I thought, I will use Time Machine to go back and pull up the databases I need. The problem is that some how all the .MYD & .MYI files have gone. No matter how far back I go in the back up, they are all gone, the only files left are the .FRM files.
This leaves me with months of data input missing...
Has anyone else had a similar problem and is there a fix I could try?

PB crash - total data loss after forced restart.

Hello,
Ironically I was trying to back up a whole bunch of stuff the other day to and from external hard-drive (inc 5000 photos!) when I decided to start up itunes I had a message in German saying itunes needed to be updated (the OS was accidentally installed in German by technicians after a hard drive replacement last year, but I was running it in English) the thing is I was not online at the time and it wanted to update to a version dated 2007 so the first alarm bells started ringing. I did not allow this weird update of itunes fearing I would lose all my folders etc. and cancelled it. Then thinking I would eradicate the problem by restarting the PB when I tried to restart it wouldn't let me saying 'mirror agent' was preventing a restart. I left it for a while but then forced it to shut down. When I restarted it all my data / software etc was gone - it was all in German and like the 1st day the OS was newly installed!! (Icons huge, screensaver blue swirl etc) Everything except a few folders. Also it said only 5GB of hard drive - and it is 120GB hard drive.
What should I do?!! Can I try starting it from installation disk and use disk doctor or something or should I head straight to an apple technician?
I THINK the OS was 10.4.3 or around that mark.
Any help HUGELY appreciated! Thanks in advance and greetings from Berlin.
very worried,
Nicole.

ok i just remembered that I changed the name of my home folder - seems this was a stupid idea - i changed it from 'admin' to 'nicole'
I found this:

Photo File Names Reset After Every Synch with iPhoto

I have iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.0.1
This only started happening in the last couple weeks: every time I synch-and-delete my photos with iPhoto (6.0.6), it resets the "file name" counter on the photos I take on the phone. I've been using this version of iPhoto and synch-and-delete as my photo saving method since I got the phone and before it would always remember the last photo number taken. Now I am ending up with dozens of photos in my library called "IMG_0001" etc, which is very frustrating when I want to move photos anywhere as a batch.
Is this a new "feature" for iOS4? I can't find any settings that could be causing it on the phone.

I noticed the same problem today when I tried to export my iphone pictures from iphoto into a folder with other iphone pictures from last week.
I have an iphone 4 running 4.0.2

Clips turn black after I synching with audio

When I import my synched footage from Pluraleyes to FCPX the audio works but not the video and it's black. The same thing happens if I just try the nattive synch tool in FCPX.
All my footage is off a 5D Mark3 and recoreded to WAV on a ZOOM h4N.
Steps already taken:
- Check Video Inspector
- Checked boxes in ROLES
- Clossed all apps and removed prefrences with manager

I tried your example and have good news for you :-)
You are *assuming* the clip is black, but it isn't.
The problem with your example is that the audio clip is 6:24 long and the video is only 00:41 long.
Furthermore, the actual video only begins around the 5:30 mark.
Nevertheless, they sync PERFECTLY!
Here is how the synchronized clip looks in its own timeline. Note how the audio starts at the beginning but the video only starts at about 5:30.
You can add this synchronized clip to your project timeline and trim it there, or mark the in and out points in the event browser.

Data Loss after sleeping...

I don't think sleeping is actually to blame here, but here's the situation -
My powerbook is set to go to screensaver (Motley Fool RSS Feed) after 5 minutes of idle. Usually, when it does this, it is playing music from an internet stream using Audion. After 30 minutes, the powerbook is set to go to sleep. When it does this, the music stops, the screen goes black, and it gets quiet. So far, so good.
Now, when coming back from sleep, all I get is a mouse pointer, and a black screen. Sometimes, I can get things back by shutting the case for a little bit, then opening it again (after the light on the base open button comes on). Sometimes, this hasn't worked, at least not on the first couple of times. So, the only thing left to do is hold down the power button and do a hard shutdown. I'm a linux guy, and I know this isn't the greatest thing to do to a system, but I honestly don't know enough back ways out of a Mac crash to do differently.
The biggest part of the problem is coming back from a hard power off. First, my "Dock" is reset to it's original configuration. My preferences for several other programs are trashed, most notably Thunderbird email, which seems to lose any knowledge that I have an email account setup, although everything is present and accounted for in my Library files. Firefox does simlilarly, resetting to no bookmarks, killing all theme settings, although the themese and extensions still show as installed, and I can manually bring back my bookmarks from backed-up bookmark files.
So, three things - One - does a "hard power off" do much more on a Mac than on a PC? Two - how does one come back from a black screen and a pointer with keys only making beep sounds? Three - where did all my preferences and settings go and can they be restored?

when all prefs and bookmarks are lost......something to do w/ the USER file
any ideas ?

SharedObject data loss after reopening my ios app

Hi, I'm developing an app for ios devices and when I tested it on my iPhone the high-score data is lost everytime I restart (close and reopen) the application.
var shared: SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("myRecordObject");
if (shared.data.score) {
    record = shared.data.score;
scoreBar.recordField.text = record.toString();
function gameOver() {
    if (score > record) {
        record = score;
        shared.data.record = record;
        shared.flush();
        scoreBar.recordField.text = record.toString();
        scoreBar.adjust();

try:
var shared: SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("myRecordObject",'/');

After i synch many apps don't open

After I synch with iTunes many of my iPad apps no longer open. My laptop's iTunes has multiple login IDs, but these apps I have downloaded myself. I select the manual synch, but then don't really have the opportunity to make any manual selections.

If the apps aren't opening or are crashing on the iPad, then if it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
In terms of syncing what shows on the iPad's Apps tab on your computer's iTunes - are the apps greyed out so that you can't tick them, or is it that nothing happens when you try to sync them ?

What can I do simply to keep all my previous contents, (own pics, videos, etc.) on my previously authorized iPad on PC, but get a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with a new iTunes on my new Mac?

Friends,
I already had an iPad(1) and its full contents (not only the purchased items, applications from Apple, but my all own pics, videos, songs etc.) is normally syncronized with an authorized PC (Windows) computer.
Now, I've bought a new MacBook Air computer, and want to sell my PC. But I don't know how to transfer (or syncronize) all of the contents from my previous iTunes on PC to the new one on the Mac.
When I connected my iPad to my new MacBook Air, I promted, if I want to change authorization of my iPad to the MacBook.
But also got a warning, that the new iTunes will delete from my iPad all my previously syncronized items, pics, videos and music, with the previously authorized iTunes on the previous computer, expect the saved pics from the net.
What can I do just like that, simply to keep all my previous contents on my iPad, but have a new authorisation and a right syncronization, without data loss with the new iTunes on my new Mac?
Thanks a lot for your answer.
([email protected])

Here are some instructions that I have posted several times that may be helpful to you as they have been to others. You can simply ignore anything that does not apply or that you have already done.
As Alan stated above - transferring the iTunes library is the best first step. If you can transfer the iTunes library to the Mac, most of this will be unecessary for you to do.
Very Important ....
1. Authorize the computer.
2. Turn off auto sync in iTunes
3. Transfer purchases
The text in italics is from the other thread - non italics are my words.
The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your new computer, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your computer, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your computer. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/13016026#13016026
This support site will help you with transferring iTunes music to your new computer.

One final note - you may want to leave auto sync turned off - but that is totally up to you. I never did use auto sync.

Chronic catastrophic data loss with Lion & servers

Auto-save and versions, when combined with multiple users and a server environment virtually guarantees catastrophic data loss.
Here's how you replicate it.
(1) Place a photo on a server.
For us, this is where we recommend people keep important files. Their desktop may be backed up with time machine, but the server is RAID 6 with hot spares, and on top of that is backed up every night. Much, much safer.
(2) Open that photo in preview. Crop it so that you can print it. Close preview. Notice it didn't ask you if you wanted to save?
(3) Open that file again. It's still cropped. The original? Gone. Choose "Revert to Saved" from the file menu. Notice the large number of empty windows on the right? Yup, you can't get back to the prior version, even though you never saved.
Now, as a network administrator, imagine the consequences of this for your network. Users accessing shared files and making changes they need, but not saving them because they don't need to be saved. Yup, their version is now THE definitive version for the entire network.
The ability to do non-destructive edits is something that computer users have been doing since, well, the dawn of computing more or less. Lion removes this. Now, add on top of that user mistakes in a network environment. User accidentally deletes all the text from a 24 page document. They don't know what to do so they close the app. Unless the backup has run since that 24 page document was created, it's gone. Forever. And ever. Amen.
Go to backups you say? What if the document isn't accessed for six months from when the user accidentally wiped it out. Hope your backup server is petabyte big, because otherwise that data is gone.
This is a huge, huge problem.
Joel

I am not an idiot. The very reason we are reporting this is that we are testing this and discovered it. It is not about "random people" changing things on the server. People with appropriate access can do catastrophic damage without even realizing it. Yes, I have also reported this via the Lion feedback.
Let me address some of the comments here:
> There is nothing to prevent someone on Snow Leopard from doing the same thing if anyone can save a document.
That's the problem. Nobody has to actually save to wipe data out with Lion. Versions _does not work_ on server volumes. I have tested this with Lion client and 10.6 server and 10.7 server. Same result. Massive data loss.
> Plus, any document over two weeks old would pop-up a big "locked" dialog if the user tried to modify it in Lion. You wouldn't get that before.
Great. Documents can only be inadvertently destroyed for two weeks. Not sure how this makes anything better.
>And why do you have Time Machine on the desktop instead of on the Server? It seems like it would more handy there.
The server is backed up, as are the clients. It's irrelevant to the problem being reported.
>You are the network administrator. Disable Preview and get your users a decent image editor.
Great idea! Until Photoshop supports versions. Microsoft has announced support for versions with office. I guess we'll have to disable that as well. Maybe we should try to fix the actual problem rather than just disabling software that used to work perfectly and moving on...
> The Versions feature is absolutely not appropriate for use in a multi-user context.
I agree. So do mac users stop using servers now? Doesn't seem like a good option.
> I find it hard to believe that any competent administrator would 1) upgrade clients to Lion this soon after release
I have no clients except my own on Lion at this point, for testing. This is exactly the kind of problem I need to trace down before I deal with huge issues from my users. Also, what happens when we buy new machines? Lion only...
> and 2) have versions enabled on shared disk.
We can turn off versions on a shared disk? I do not see any way to do this. Please enlighten me!
> 1) There is no evidence that the original poster has actully upgraded any client or is a network administrator.
I am a network administrator. This only happens with Lion and versions. I have tested this problem against both 10.6 server and 10.7 server. It exists on either.
> 2) Version is a feature of Lion, not the network. The scenario described by the original poster could occur on any non-HFS+ disk.
The problem is that versions _does not work_ on an AFP server, but acts as if it does. When you use "revert to save" you find that there are no versions. Not good...
