Download update just wiped out my data!

I just downloaded an update to my Palm Zire, and now all of my data has been erased on my computer. The data, thankfully, is still on my handheld, and even when I try to sync the two the data doesn't transfer to my computer. Help! This is my business diary and I'm desperate. Thanks.

I have synced my handheld to my computer for the last 8 years. It's just that since I downloaded the updated program now the sync won't transfer my information to my computer.
P.S. I just discovered that after the sync it says on the upper right of my hand held that Chrissy Harrison is the user. That's one of the two names that show up in my computer version of Palm as a user. The other one is just Palm. When I click on log records for syncs, it shows that Chrissy Harrison has received 3 updates today -- the ones I've tried and failed to convey the data in my hand held. It appears I might have to change the name on either my hand held or my computer, but I don't know how.
P.P.S. I've never heard of that att.net email address; it just shows up on my hand held. So I'm not too worried.

Updating a badly out-of-date browser

Not sure where else to post this. Recently acquired an old G4 with OS X 10.1 on it, and need to update the woefully out-of-date browser, Internet Explorer 5.1.2 for Mac. It's so obsolete I can't even download Firefox through it. The drop-down from Tools does not offer an update function, and I couldn't find one elsewhere. Can anyone offer any help?

Try the appropriate version of iCab. icab.de
try this link for icab your are looking for iCab305_OSX.sit:
ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/Mac/iCab/
requires osx 10.1.5
Opera

http://www.opera.com/download/
You can download the file on any machine & copy to the mac. Do not try to unpack on windows. flash drive shold work fine. format for fat32 / dos.
The current version of firefox will not run on this os. You are going to have to find an older version. Firefox folks make it hard to find the library with archive software. It's around.
Mac OS 9
Perhaps this runs in x. Classilla is a free, open source browser for Mac OS 9

TS1363 ITunes just wiped out most of the books on my iPod, How do I get it all back on?

ITunes just wiped out most of the books on my iPod, saying device (the same one I've been using for several years) is not authorized. This seems to be a response to getting a new computer and authorizing it (while deauthorizing the five I had authorized). Device authorization in Files does not all authorization (it's pale).
How do I reload on to iPod? It's all on the computer.

Do you load content on the iPod manually (by dragging items to the iPod in iTunes), or do you have automatic sycning set up?
If it's automatic syncing, you need to select the iPod in iTunes. There is a row of buttons starting with Summary. Click on Books there. This Books screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync audiobooks to the iPod. Set that up and click Apply.
If you load content manually, just drag the audiobooks you want from the iTunes Books library to your iPod in iTunes.

IPOD touch 3G updated then wiped out everything!?!?

IPOD touch 3g updated and then wiped out?? What can I do? It didn't warn me or anything that it would wipe my memory. Is there anyway to recover my lost data? I don't understand how it can do that, I have hundreds of dollars in music on it!!!

The backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music. If those are not in the iTunes library on which you did the update then they are gone. This has been the case for all updates and restores.
See:
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other music you will have to obtain them from where you got them the first time.

Itunes wiped out all data now ipod is corrupt

I bought my 80g ipod classic in March,08 and have never had problems until two months ago. Several times after disconnecting, I found that itunes wiped out all the songs and video. The first time, I lost over 8000 songs and never realized it until I was in the car on a long road trip. My playlists were gone, 14 movies and many video clips. My pictures and games remained however. Problems continued periodically. Sometimes it would eject immediately after connecting. Then it would connect, but not sync anything. Now itunes will recognize it, but says it needs to be formatted then restored. I didn't want to lose everything, but now it has wiped out games and pics also. It is like I just bought it. I have updated itunes to 8.0 and tried to update my ipod as well. Now it is telling me that it can't be restored and that my ipod is corrupt. This is my second ipod, the first was a 20g with pics and I used and abused it to death and NEVER had a single problem until it just quit working. I have my computer set to update automatically for itunes and this all started right after it completed an update of some kind. I have a 2 year warranty, should I relace it? Also, will I lose all the games I bought?

I just upgraded my itunes and now my IPOD won't play any of my songs. Everything is still ther, will let me navigate etc, but just won't play!
Very dissapointed!
Worst, i can't get my music off my IPOD now, because ITUNES doesn't allow it. And worst still, when i take it in to get a replacement, they simpy take my IPOD and away and give me a new one.
I'm seriously put off!

I just wiped out my ENTIRE Entourage calendar syncing it with iCal. Help!

Hey there. I'm using Entourage 2004 and I foolishly decided to try syncing it with iCal using the Syncing pane in the Preferences Menu pictured below.
When I opened iCal to have it sync there was a dialogue with three choices and I chose the one that would have seemed to do the least damage. I can't remember now. The problem is, it wiped out my ENTIRE Entourage calendar. I didn't find this out until now when I brought the computer out of sleep. The last 4.5 years are gone. Absolutely nothing is there and the Office Notifications doesn't even start up.
Is there anyway to retrieve this at all? Can I rebuild the database or something? Anything? The kicker is iCal isn't even showing my dates from Entourage even though it started a new colour/calendar for it.
Please help!
15" Powerbook 1.33 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

if your phone is still turned on. for example......they overcharge you by $300 one month and just reduce the credit you will have with them. now 2 months before your contract is up, your credit is gone (because they overcharged). you still think you have $300 credit with them.....until they shut your phone off for not paying the bill. probably won't happen, but i just thought i'd throw a scenario out there, as it is very common to have disputes on cell phone bills.

Updated OS wiped out my Calendar and Contacts!

I downloaded the OS Version 2.1.0.1032 and my Calendar and Contact information is wiped out!!!! Hours of input gone. Now what? Is there anyway to get it back? Why did this happen?
Also now that it's gone, how should I have backed it up? The Desktop doesn't give me an Organizer tab to click on- even though the onscreen help menu says it should. Is that just for the phones?
Becoming a bit dissalutioned.
Thanks for any help out there.

If these entries were on the local contacts and calendar as opposed to being sync'd over the air then unless you made a backup of your tablet using the backup features of desktop manager (not sync'd with a local PIM application as this is not available with the playbook) then I don't believe there is any way to recover them

Downloading Lion has wiped out excel and word. Numbers can't open a password protected excel document

How do I access Excel on my Mac after downloading Lion. I get the message that Power PC applications are no longer supported. numbers won't open excel password protected documents

Well, check that this is Pro workstation, not Lion, and not MBP....
Rosetta / PowerPC is not supported, so you must also have an out of date version of Office like 2004 or earlier. 2008 and 2011 do work, though there may be 3rd party extensions or plug-ins that do not.

Recent update appears to have wiped out my data

I recently (last Thursday) updated my BB at the request of the device manager. I was preparing to back-up and was prompted to make updates. I did and now my contacts, calendar and pictures appear to be gone. However, when someone calls me their name shows up, so I'm wondering is my data someplace where it can be retrieved or restored. I would appreciate any help or guidance. Thanks, Bo

You know that is the strangest part. Many people that I talk to say the same thing. It is intermittent and started out of nowhere. I realize that a moving target is the most difficult to analyze and deal with but I know that many Apple users are starting to feel left out in the cold. I am not an expert and would not pretend to be. I am a musician that was convinced that Mac was the way to go because of it's rock solid performance and ease of use or so I had been led to believe. I am very frustrated and just want to get on with the creation. This is not what I had thought it would be... I had added new RAM and the timing was terrible because a bunch of updates went through at the same time including a plug-in Manager update. Once I recognized that there was issues with the sound, (when I was demoing for a potential client) I switched the RAM back to my original which never had an issue but the problem persisted. Is it possible that I may have to zap something to reset the CPU or something? My computer tests show that both the Kingston RAM 2x2ghz and the Samsung RAM 2x1ghz (original) work fine so I do not think that that these are the issue. I am going to take it to an Apple store which is a couple of hours away but this is an inconvenience that I was hoping to avoid not to mention any associated costs that I may incur. I may have to sell the Macbook Pro to afford the gas to get there.
This really *****...

Why after Downloading iTunes update it wiped out library and will not launch?

Just downloaded the latest update for iTunes, now Itunes will not launch, and looked in Windows Explorer and saw all the artist but songs folder was empty. Restored comp to earlier date but still have same problem

"C:\Windows\system32\softpub.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error."
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with one of the Windows OS dlls associated with Cryptographic Services.
I'd first try the fixit from the following Microsoft document. (One of the things it does is reregister your copy of the softpub.dll file.)
You cannot install some updates or programs
... but if you still get the issue, I'd try an sfc /scannow as per the instructions in the following document:

My ipod mini just updated and wiped out all 742 songs off ipod

how can i recover my songs after update wiped them off my ipod mini?

Resync them from your iTunes library. If the songs on the iPod were not in your current iTunes library (or backed up elsewhere), they are probably gone.

Software Update just wiped my BB

Rather frustratingly, I have just ran the software update for my Blackberry Curve 8900, which has completely de-branded my phone, and wiped everything. Now all I have is a menu with a list of my applications and options (that it won't let me use) with "Blackberry Software 5.0.(something?).31" (or something similar to that) at the top. I've tried restoring my device with no luck. Any ideas of how I can reverse this?
