HELP! old M505 has crashed and need to recover the data on it

Hey all,
I'm hoping someone out there has some creative idea on how I can recover the data that was lost on my old M505. I went on a long vacation and when I returned it had completely run out of power. Unfortunately after recharging it, the system started at the initial installation screens and had lost all of my addresses, which I had not backed up in a very long time.
If anyone has any great ideas, it would be very much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bob Last
Post relates to: Palm m505

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
Sorry, but there is no good news here.
Your old m505 has what is called "volatile" memory, which means that it requires power to maintain it. Once the batteries die, there is a small capacitor which holds just enough power to preserve data for another few days. After that, it's << poof ! >> gone and there is no way to retrieve it if you don't have it backed up to your computer.

Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

How do I have 2 itunes accounts on my mac book-1 for me(which is already on) and one for my partner who's PC has crashed and need to uae my mac book to sync his phone. Help please anyone?

I have a mac book which has my itunes account on it. My partner's PC has crashed and I want to get his itunes account on my mac book so that he can sync his phone. Can someone help me with how I do this please?
Many thanks

Thank you for the reply.
ctrl B makes the top bar (File. Edit. View. Controls. Store. Help.) appear and disappear.
ctrl S makes a side bar appear on the left side of iTunes. It shows the library which has Music. Movies. TV Shows. Apps. Playlists. Ect.
When I did the steps you suggested, my iPhone did not show up in that list.
I checked my firewall settings again, and they seem to be okay. My firewall is the only thing that I am not 100% sure of. If I go to Control Pannel>System and Security>Windows Firewall>Allow an app through Windows Firewall. It shows that iTunes is allowed. I'm not sure if something else might need to be allowed as well though. I have a few Remote options that are not allowed such as, Remote Event Log Management, Remote Scheduled Tasks Management, Remote Shutdown, Remote Volume Management, and Routing and Remote Access. I'm not sure if any of these need to be allowed or not, or if they are even affiliated with iTunes.

My old computer has crashed and is beyond repair. How can i transfer my playlist from my ipod to my new computer?

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

How do I recover a Muse site back to my computer after it has crashed and I've lost the files?

How do I recover a Muse site that was uploaded to Business Catalyst back to my computer after my system crashed and I've lost the files?

Regardless of being in development or not, "Captain Obvious" is is correct and the working .muse file is lost, meaning that you will have to start again from scratch.
All the BC will contain is the published HTML and support files, not the .muse file which you would require to recover the site design.
Might want to look into Time Machine or another automatic, timed backup source while you work.

IMac just died on me. Need to recover the data.

A friend of mine has a blue looking fruit iMac 600MHz, 256MB, and a CDRW, which just died and it made this 'click' noise when you press the power button.
I'm guessing it is the power supply and it there a way to reset the power? I heard it is next to the RAM slot?
Anyway, the most important is that I must recover the data off the hard drive, which I have successfully removed.
Do I need some kind of Mac viewer in order to see the content in the hard drive under Windows XP?

I don't know XP. Someone in this forum might know:

How full is your hard drive? That may be affecting its ability to transfer data.
And you can't transfer the entire home folder to a PC formatted drive. You can do the Movies, Music or Pictures folder, and your personal data files you created yourself, but not the Library folder. I would attempt to fix what is breaking your Mac rather than try to backup to a thumb drive, and better to recover to a Mac formatted external hard drive with Prosoft Data Rescue:
http://www.prosofteng.com/
And if that doesn't make for usable data with Media Four's MacDrive
http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive6/
Use Alsoft Disk Warrior 3.0.3 on the drive.
If booted off Prosoft Data Rescue or Disk Warrior with nothing but an external hard drive, Apple mouse and keyboard you get a crash, that says your machine has a hardware problem. That will need to be fixed before you can recover any data.

Old pc has crashed and want to upload old itunes into icloud. How can I do this when old pc will not power up? Thanks

Old dell pc crashed & will not re-start- not sure if I / how I can copy the old i-tunes library from this pc and uplaod to my i-cloud as this contains all my old cd collections. Advice most appreciated. Thanks

If the old PC does not work it will not be possible to do anything with it.
If you can get it to work for long enough turn on iTunes Match to upload your music to the cloud (anything you purchased from iTunes Store is already in the cloud)

Help! Having Serious Issues and need to save my data!!!

This is probably going to be a long post, and I apologie in advance, but before I give up completely, I need to see if there's anything that I can do to save the data on my computer. Also, I'm writing this from work and don't have access to the system right now, so I'm going to have to rely on my questionable memory to relay the situation.
Since the battery update was installed, I was having intermittent issues with my MBP battery - when I was fully charged, it only showed about 1:45 of time left (down from a usual 3:00 or so). When it would get down to about 50 minutes left, the system would shut off with no warning. I was about to take the system into the Apple Store to get the battery replaced last week, but just to make sure, I followed the instructions to reset the battery and after that was done, it seemed like the battery was fine (showed up as about 3:00 fully charged). But... the system started working very slowly.
As a result, I decided to try to back up the system (I use SuperDuper and backup to an external USB drive). The backup failed mid-stream and my backup file was now useless (that's the last time I use the erase before backing up option). So now I don't have a backup of my data (all of my data is on that laptop).
I tried running Disk Utility, by booting from the installation DVD, to Repair the disk and it stopped with an invalid node error. I tried again, but no joy. A third time, it appears to have completed. However, now when I boot the system, not only is it really slow, but it boots into some unfamiliar linux prompt ("I don't have a name#:", or something like that.
Since I still think that there was a file system problem, I bought a copy of DiskWarrior 4. However, I don't want to wait for the bootable CD, so I tried to install the OS on the external USB drive so I could run it from there. Everytime I tried to install to the USB drive, I got a kernel panic when the IT Tunes install script was loaded. Every time. I tried removing the second (add-on) RAM stick, removing the battery, etc. No joy. Finally on about the 10th attempt, this time on battery power only (no power cable connected), I managed to get the OS to install on the USB drive.
Okay, so now I can boot to the USB drive. I installed Disk Warrior 4 and ran it on the internal hard drive. Kernel Panic. Every time I've run it (error is about unlocking mutex). Even more frustrated now, I tried to backup the disk again (since all my data is on there, I can't afford to lose any of it). No joy. The backup (using SuperDuper or CloneCopyX) fails at various spots. I have some folders on the drive that I tried to copy off (about 7GB) that contain disk images and the like. That copy failed.
So now, I have un-backupable (is that a word) hard drive that I can't repair without kernel panics (although, now as I write this, I didn't try DW without the power cord). And what I need to know is if anyone can think of anything that I haven't tried to save my user data off of the system before I have to take it in to the Apple Store and potentially lose everything that's on it.
My number 1 concern right now is losing the data on the drive.
Can anyone help me at all?
Again, sorry for the long post...
Thanks!

You may not have the luxury of having another Mac but you must know someone who does. You need to boot your Mac into target disk mode. This is going to be your best bet as far as saving your files. Keep in mind that everytime you mess with this computer you are further endangering your data. Also, once your Mac is booted as a target disk, it may be possible to mount it on a windoze computer just to copy your files to another drive. I used to have one here and if i still did I would try this for you but I "offed" it in favor on running windoze (Parallels) on my MBP. But, one way or another, you need to get next to another computer.

HT1420 how do I deauthorize a computer that has crashed and cannot be recovered

One of my 5 authorized computer crashed can could not be recovered. How do I deauthorize it?

There is no reason to do so unless you have reached the max of 5.
If you have reached the max of 5, use the instructions in the link from which you posted your question to deauthorize all then authorize the computers you actually have.
