Help! Lost all data and contacts while Hotsync-ing

Okay - I am in idiot.  I have a Treo 650 and have been having problems sync-ing it.  Today I got the bright idea of deleting all my contacts and calendar on my computer and starting over.  I set the phone to hotsync and after a few minutes received an error message saying that the sync-ing process was stopped.  I then discovered that all contact and calendar data on my palm was eliminated.  I thought I had made a backup, but just did a search on my computer (XP Home) and found no file with .aba.

This question was solved.

The files I copied were placed in a "Copy" folder inside the Address and Datebook folders.  I renamed the original files in the respective folders.  I noticed that there are files that match the categories I had created for my contacts - do they need to be renamed?
As far as what happend, during the first sync it stopped early in the process and said it was "interrupted."  Then I synced it again - this time telling me it couldn't find the owner and I had to select Paul.  This is the sync that went almost all the way through until it told me it had a problem.  So I am not sure if I synced twice or once or once and a half!
I have replaced the original cables since I had read those can be a problem.  I have even tried to sync with bluetooth and bought a USB bluetooth device.
I hope that the original contact data from my SIM card is readable.  Will a hard reset damage the SIM contact data?

  • Help, lost all photos and texts while syncing new iphone

    While syncing my husbands new iphone 3 on itunes I gained all the music but lost all photos and texts... also all the apps and contacts from my iphone were added to his phone. Need help mostly on how to recover the photos that were deleted, there were about 1,000 of them and I didn't realize it was happening until it was too late....

    Where did the photos come from in the first place?

  • Ios 8.0.2 update - lost all data and contacts no back up

    My husband updated my phone to the new ios 8.0.2 version. He then reset my phone to factory settings without me having a back up of all my contacts and data. How can I get this back. I noted some software but if I try the free tests it keeps on showing what I currently have on the phone and not my old contacts.

    Hi baleslie,
    Thanks for giving the details of the error you are getting.  That would frustate me too.
    Recovery from the error "3014" is discussed in this article
    Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    It primarily sounds like an issue contacting the update server. Please check it out.
    Take care,
    Nubz

    Yes you will lose everything on your iPhone. You can, however, recover data from a backup done either with iCloud or iTunes. Do you have any backups?

  • Help - lost all data functionality on ios7

    I have upgraded to the new IOS7 but now my iphone tells me I don't have cellular data available on my contract - I've checked with O2 and no problem with my contract. For some reason it doesn't recognise my data account - any ideas as to how to fix this

    If O2 is saying everything is provisioned correctly, I'd start off with some basic troubleshooting steps if they didn't already walk you through those at O2.
    Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Network Settings, is a good place to start (Note: You will have to re-enter all of your Wi-Fi passwords after doing this)
    Also, some additional information would be helpful. What type of iPhone do you have? Is it showing 3G/4G/LTE at the top of the screen? Were you having any trouble before the update?

  • MAJOR HELP, LOST ALL DATA

    Ok, so i bought a iTunes card. I put it in and buy a couple games. but when they finish downloading, i try to move them to my ipod. it fails so i disconnect my ipod classic 30 GB to see if they are on my ipod. they arn't. i connect it again and i look in my music, videos, ECT... and everything is gone. i try to see if there is some way to revive it, and i find a way but it said it was in a folder called 'found'. i looked around on my computer and i cannot find it. i get frusterated cause i had about a thousand songs on there and they are gone. so i click restore, and restored my ipod, nothing was on my ipod anyway. so my ?s:
    1. where would this folder be found
    2. if i find this folder, is there anyway to put my stuff back on
    3. is it even possible at all to get all my stuff back on
    P.S. my brother deleated my library so i cannot get stuff from my library at all

    One thing you can do is go to the music folder in your finder and go through your itunes library. if you see the folder that says found then look there or look for a folder that says Games.

  • Help - lost all data! My best picture ever. How to I resolve?

    Hi,
    I have been having trouble with my iphone 3GS when I connect it to my computer. iTunes will recognise and try and sync without me doing anything (which it never did before) - it now has OS4 software btw - but then after 5 minutes, the iphone disappears from itunes.
    I went for a restore. But when the phone booted back up iTunes came up with an error stating that 'ITunes could not restore from backup as your hard drive is full' or something like that. Indeed it was out of space and when I clicked OK, the iphone automatically started to install apps, but I see no way of accessing the back-up it must of at least tried to save prior to my reinstalling the software.
    I am a little perplexed because the error only came AFTER I asked to restore from the last back up AFTER the phone had reset the software, so it MUST of saved it prior to this surely?
    Any help would be very appreciated.
    Thanks

    wjosten is correct as usual.

  • I phone software update  iphone software with another pc whit out lost my data and contacts

    my lap tap is broken and had not been able to sync my iphoe sofware; can i update my iphone sofware with another pc

    Does anyone even bother to search these forums or Google before asking questions? Apparently not...
    Anyways, yes. Connect to the new computer, open iTunes and then "Store >> Authorize Computer", then sign into the store, then "File >> Transfer Purchases". Then sync your iPhone.
