Date on Desktop

I find it a real pain that after buying Tiger I still can't have the date displayed on the desktop like I had on my first MAC Classic. I have searched all the helps and spent hours trying to find a way to trade the "time" in the upper right hand corner of the desktop to a date or even a time and the date. Does anyway know of a 3rd party app that can do this. Putting down what i am doing in order to click for a date is ridiculous for a $2,000 machine in 2006.

Download the excellent clock program, iClock (www.macupdate.com), and use it in place of the built-in one. It will display both date and time separately in the menubar under user's full control. If you don't like iClock you will find other similar utilities at the same site as well as at www.versiontracker.com.
BTW, comments like "to click for a date is ridiculous for a $2,000 machine in 2006" are uncalled for here. It's not the machine's fault.

Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible old friefox data on desktop how do i fix it

I get a message that said Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible and I now have a folder the said old friefox data on desktop how do i fix it

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-run-firefox-when-your-profile-missing-or-inacc
This is usually caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
*Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\<br>C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
*Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
*Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

Can't wipe data through desktop manager

I am trying to wipe the data using desktop manager. I get the menu with "bakcup options" and "device data options" (the one with the option to wipe the personal data), but i cannot tick any of the boxes under "device data options", only the option to back up.

Hi and welcome to the forums,
The easiest way to wipe the Device is to go to OPTIONS SECURITY- CLICK TO ENTER- MENU KEY WIPE HANDHELD.
Make sure you have a good backup beforehand.

Calendar data in desktop DISAPPEARED, now Calendar will not sync at all.

The first problem is that after a successful hotsync, all data in Calendar desktop is gone. I tried to restore the data by syncing one way from the Treo 680, but it locks up during the sync. It stops at the point where it says "6 of 16 files", then I have to use the Task manager to stop it and restart the computer. All other applications work fine and will sync just fine if I disable Calendar in the conduit.
I have Windows Vista, 32 bit, a Palm Treo 680 unlocked, a Palm Tx, and am using Palm version 6.2.2.
I do not see all the data in the .mdb file. It only has 392 KB. My .mdb.bak file has 6642 KB, but it won't copy over. I am not familiar with these new Vista files, so I don't want to mess with them. In XP, you could copy and paste or change the .bak to .dat and vice versa.
I have tried live Chat and have spent almost 10 hours with them trying many different things. PLEASE HELP ME.
I've tried dbScan, which showed no corrupt files in my device, I've tried syncing to another computer, but that computer has xp and Palm 4.1.2, and won't work. I did have 4.2 on this computer, it didn't sync and the analyst had me install 4.2.2. It's the 4.2 program that is locking up whenever I try to sync the calendar. I've tried reinstalling the program, and tried many soft resets on the device.
One analyst told me NOT to use 4.2 with Vista, another analyst told me TO use 4.2 and to reinstall it. One analyst had me perform the dbScan, another analyst told me that program wouldn't find corrupt files. One analyst told me to delete my user name, another told me that if I did that I would lose all my data in all the applications because the user name is linked with my data. One analyst told me to change the registry keys, another told me not to touch them if I didn't know what I was doing in there. One analyst told me to try a hard reset on my device, but I really don't want to completely lose all my data. When I explained that I have 2 devices, and how could both devices become corrupt at the same time, but work fine in other applications, he then said the Palm desktop was at fault. Now, he wants me to reinstall the 4.2, copy over the data from my old computer with xp (but that database isn't my current one), and restart anew. I am not willing to try this until someone assures me that this will fix the problem. As I said before, it was the 4.2 program that gave me problems in the first place.
Thank you for your help.

"What is 6 of 16 that is locking up, I don't believe it is datebook and if that is the case you can disable that conduit temporarily so you can sync your datebook over, if it is datebook, then I would try a program called dbfixit you can get it from www.pimlicosoftware.com I don't know about dbscan and how well it is, but I find dbfixit to be a wonderful tool to find any corruption. "
Well, I don't know. I am assuming it is 6 of 16 files that need to be synced. I'm just telling you what the hotsync window says at the point that it locks up.
How do I disable the conduit and still have the datebook sync? If it's disabled, how would it sync at all? I have set the datebook to "do nothing" and the other applications sync just fine, but not datebook.
I will try the dbfixit as long as you can assure me it won't erase data. Thank you

Almost Lost All My Folders/Data On Desktop After OS 10.5.3 UpdateToday

Folks, I need to report what happened today on my MacBook after I did the 10.5.3 update today. After the long updating process, the laptop restarted 2-3 times automatically until it finally got to my desktop. But to my surprise, every single folder and icons for files that I stored on my desktop had disappeared!! HELP. My HD is partitioned and my archive section had some of the data that was on the desktop, but I hadn't done my work backup yet. I then opened iTunes and got an error message that the app couldn't open and couldn't the index file.
I prepared for the worst. I immediately repaired permissions which I do anyway after software updates. The repair took awhile to finish up and the fan came on pretty fast. Then I got my LaCie BU FireWire HD and DataRescue ready for action. The external HD wouldn't mount. I figured because of the update, it's possible I would need a firmware fix now. Anyway, I restarted, the color ball was spinning, and miraculously one by one, all my icons were restored as well as my folders. I then did a complete immediate backup and my iTunes opened perfectly, nothing lost.
Anyway, all I can say is to all who do the update, better be sure your BU is done before doing the OS update. This the first time this has ever happened of any and all updates I have done previously.
Good luck and let us know if you experienced this same glitch after updating
Steve

Yes, we are warned and we get lazy and "trust" our Macs to never fail, especially when we do sw updates. I definitely got lucky this time and learned my lesson, believe me. What I don't understand is why did everything disappear after the first restart, but then was restored after repairing permissions and the next reboot. Everything appeared like magic. Saved me a lot of recovery time

Can't see the date on desktop !!!

Are you talking about the calendar widget? If so, hit F12 to bring up the widget you have running. Next click the + sign at the bottom left corner. Scroll through the widgets and look for iCal and click it. I hope this helps.

Getting Error When I click on Data -- Load XML Data (XMLP Desktop 5.6.2)

Hi All,
I'm getting an error "Compile error in hidden module: Module_registry" when i click on Data -->Load XML Data on MSword. I have installed XMLP Desktop 5.6.2 successfuly. Can anybody help me..?
Regards,

Can you check the eventviewer on your desktop if there is an error logged against any DLL in application log (Start -- Run -- eventvwr) each time you hit this error. Also is this the first time you installed XMLP Desktop or did you have an older version?

Accessing Password Keeper Data using Desktop Software

I recently had a pressure crack to the LCD on my Curve 8310.
I need to access my stored passwords in Password Keeper, however since the LCD is toast, can't read anything on the phone.
I'm waiting on a replacement LCD, but need Password, ASAP.
Is there any programs to view the program on the pc?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I tried a solution which did actuall work, so I figured I would post in case anyone else has this same problem.
I had previously backed up the data from my Blackberry Curve 8310 using the Desktop Management Software.
I downloaded a Simulatr for my Curve 8310 and installed the software. I found the simulator at BlackBerry Smartphone Simulators - URL
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/resources/simulators.jsp
Once the program was installed I ran the program, which brings up an image of the phone.
I started my Desktop Management Software.
Now back in the Smartphone Simulator
In the menu, I selected "USB Cable Connected" which simulates connecting the smartphone.
Once I did this, the Desktop Management Software prompted me to create settings for then new phone.
Once I set up this new Virtual Phone, I Restored my backup from the Desktop Management Software to the New Virtual Phone.
I could then use the mouse to go to the Password Keeper and open the program. It prompted me for my password and all of the data appeared.
Hope this helps someone else. Good Luck.

How do I synch my new BB device to my old BB data on Desktop?

I recently lost my BB Bold and received a Torch as a replacement. I would like to switch to this new device, including moving all the contacts, calendar, photos, etc., which were on my Bold onto the Torch. I had backed up my Bold onto the desktop BB software. When I attempted to switch devices, I was prompted to connect my current device to the desktop. Needless to say, that's impossible.
Is there a way I can do this? Thanks for your help.

How to recovery data from desktop "Shortcut to System Recovery Files" after factory reset

HP dme-1030us, Win 7, Facrory settings restore data recovery completed, stored (to DVD) personal data loades back via desktop "Shortcut to System Recovery Files". How to recover this data???

Follou-up..... reading other questions/answers on this forum seem to indicate I'll have to "cherry pick" specific saved data items from the desktop "Shortcut to System Recovery Files" --- a long process. Is there a quicker way???

Incomplete Data on Desktop

Hi! Everyone
We are working wit MAM 25 SR5 SP21.
We do have the following parameters set on the MobileEngine.config file:
MobileEngine.Sync.RepetitiveSyncEnabled=true
MobileEngine.Sync.MaximumNumberOfRepetitiveSyncs=10
MobileEngine.Sync.TimeBetweenRepetitiveSyncs=1000
We do use this parameters for both PDA and Laptops.
On PDA we sync only once and we get the synchronization process successfully complete. (First time and second time, third time, .......... and always)
BUT on portatil we do have to try the sync process many times. I t is not constant. Firs time of sync process the data comes ok with only once sync process. But after frist synchronization process, when we need to sync again we have to try the sync process more than once some times I have tried 8 times in order to get new data.
I have change the maximumNumberOfRepetitiveSync to 50 and to 100 but I got error.
Can anyone tell me how can I set the right parameters in order to get a complete synchronization process ? The best option would be if I can have only one set parameter for both PDA and Portatil.
Thank you very much
Xiomara

Hi Xiomara,
if I read this - do you have the same MEREPMETA.XML file in PDA and Laptop? We know there is a different MAM version for Laptop and for PDA available. You can run the PDA version on Laptop as well - so while it is working on the PDA as you said, could you please check if it makes a difference in the sync, if the PDA version is used on the Laptop?
From your findings I would expect, that even you set the repetitive sync to a very high number, it does only run one time. Set the trace level on the PDA to all and check the log file after the sync You can see how often the Laptop syncs after you pressed the button. I think it will tell you it runs only one time.... This means either the SyncBOs on the Laptop are not set to Synchronous, or you have a simple misstiping of the repetitive parmeters on the Lapop.
Please check, if both things are correct we can look a little deeper into the issue - but I would expect that one of these two things causes your problem.
But anyway: going Larisses way will cure the problem from the other side - cause the data is prepared already in theoutbound queue and with the next sync the data coes down to the device. Only problem: you need to run the distributor before you sync and this will not solve the first issue in my understanding of the process.
Hope that helps!

Oliver

Help! How can I save my RMS data to desktop location???

I'm really tired to find out it through Internet.
What kind of methods can I use?
http? socket? datagram? com? irda?
What??
(please give me some example)
I want to set up a backup process still my midlet is alive!

Sure, we all want code to be handed over on a silver platter, don't we...
Well, most of the time, it's not that easy. I can't give you examples, but I can give you some hits:
In case of http, you'll need a webserver with a script that you can call from your midlet, that will receive the file, and put it onto your desktop (or anywhere where you'd like to have it). If you have a stand alone computer without full acces to the internet (a public socket to acces your webserver), you can't do it.
Then you have to check if you can use any of the other possibilities. All networking protocols will not be possible without a public socket to connect to). The obvious next option is IrDa. Problem with this one is that not all phones support this. So you have to make sure, your phone does. If it does, you'll have to make an application on your PC that can talk via IrDa to you'r phone (if you want to stick to java, you could try http://jir.sourceforge.net/ ). Of cource, you have to make your own protocol to send the files via IrDa to the PC.

Copy user data from Desktop HD to external HD

This is for a customer; I fix PCs and MACs for a living. Please answer all 3 questions below if you are able.
Old PowerMAC G5 has non-working mouse (i.e new mouse in different USB connector fails too) PLUS Other problems too. It does boot to an account with no login Password. However Login password for user account with admin privleges has been forgotten by customer. Customer wants to get a new MAC to replace G5.
So my job is to copy user data ONLY from PowerMAC HD to a NEW external usb HD for later copy to a MAC to be purchased later.. My plan is to use Target Disk to access the PowerMAC G5 HD (i.e G5 never boots with this approach; we are seeing G5 as it's HD ONLY.
So we have a MAC laptop in the middle running OS 10.4 or higher (unknown at the moment) and I connect via firewire cable and Target Disk to the G5 and ALSO connect the new usb external HD. It then use Disk Utility to reformat the external usb HD to Apple OS extended. And also wipe out all permissions on the external HD.
And then I drag and drop user home directories (and subfolders) from the G5 to the external HD.
HERE IS MY QUESTION: When I try to copy the user account with admin privleges which DOES HAVE A LOGIN PASSWORD OR the admin account home directories will OS X on the MAC laptop in the middle ASK ME FOR THE CORRESPONDING ACCOUNT PASSWORD or in some other way (PLEASE SPECIFY) get in the way VS just doing the copy ??
Because customer forgot the login password AND since mouse fails on G5, I cannot use an OS X install CD to wipe out the account password by booting from OS X Install CD etc etc.
SO IF THE MAC IN THE MIDDLE ASKS FOR THE LOGIN PASSWORD I am dead, I have no way of backing up the customer's data, can only back up from the user accounts with NO login password.
(2) I am also wondering if the MAC laptop will object to copying the home directories for user accounts with NO login password.
(3) And if the MAC in the middle objects or asks for passwords PLEASE PROVIDE A WORKAROUND if you know one. Please provide step by step instructions or a link to same as my MAC knowledge is much inferior to my PC knowledge and I probably can not "fill in the blanks"
Mike

You will be asked to provide an administrator password for the computer you're working at during the copying process. The login passwords for the accounts aren't needed to copy the data, but if any account is protected by FileVault, that account's password will be needed to decrypt it.
For example, if you're on a computer which has an administrator password of '1234' and are trying to copy the home folder of an account for which the password is '5678', you'll need to provide '1234' to copy the home folder, but not '5678'. Opening that account's FileVault-protected disk image home folder will require '5678'.
Additionally, if the numeric UIDs of the accounts match, no password will be needed to perform the copy. This generally only applies to one account per computer, and is independent of account passwords.

Corrupt User Data Spinning Wheel Of Death Mac Palm Desktop Rev D

Hello,
My Treo 700p stopped working and Palm Desktop on My Mac will not open, import, or merge my user data files (current and backups). I've tried the apple-option Merge and import tricks to no avail. If it is set as the default user data, palm desktop will freeze on its splash screen and give me the spinning wheel of death. If i open, i get the message "Opening User Data One moment please..." with an eternal spinning wheel of death (SWOD). If i restore (apple-option merge) i immediately get the SWOD, If i merge, i am notified that the merge is successful, but then i get the spinning wheel of death before any data is displayed. I can open the userdata in textwrangler and see all of the phone numbers, notes, etc, but It seems impossible to parse into any format for reimporting or moving to my Pre. Are there any other tricks to opening the user data or recovering its contents. Any debug tools or software interrupts or anything I can do? Is there a way to open this stuff in a properly parsed format? Can User Data files be opened or imported by any other app? Also the Treo 700p gets power and the red light stays on but it never boots, perhaps there is a forensic tool that can recover the data?
Thank You for all your help and I would greatly appreciate any resolution.
David

What BDAqua said. Get those crummy fonts you added off the drive. At least one of them must be so bad that's it's corrupting RAM every time the system tries to load it.
A Safe Mode boot removes the user cache files of the account you log into in Safe Mode, and clears Font Book's database. Normally, that would allow you to restart normally since Font Book's database is not rebuilt until you launch Font Book. That you can't even get that far means you have some really BAD fonts.
Boot into Safe Mode again. Make a new folder on the desktop and move all of the fonts you added out of the /Library/Fonts/ folded, or the Fonts folder of your user account. Whichever one you put them in.
Now you should be able to startup normally.
