Hot Sync - Recover File

I'd be interested to know if anyone can help me.
I had two Palm folders - one with with addresses, date book, etc., the other one was empty. When the hot sync was performed, it first synced with the empty folder. When I realized this, I performed another hot sync with the other folder that had information and the hot sync synchronization then emptied the good file. Now both folders are empty and all of my information is gone.
I have a backup file so is there any way to bring in the backup file and do a hot sync to reload the information?
Thank you.

I think the solution to your issue is in my earlier post: http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&message.id=52412#M52412.

Cannot find Hot Sync Log File

I recently installed Palm dsktop on my new Vista PC. It synchs very well with my TX via bluetooth, BUT whenever there is a Hot Sync Log Message I get an error message saying that the PC cannot find the Hot Sync Log. I searched for this file on my PC but it cannot be found anywhere. I am using Mozilla Firefox as my web browser. Is there a solution to this?

You could view it on your device. Go to HOTSYNC and tap "Log".

Restore Palm Desktop Addresses from last Hot Sync and using those backup files

I have numerous issues. First I have Windows Vista 64 byte which does not allow a USB Hot Sync so I attempted the Wireless Hot Sync and killed my Palm Centro. The information was restores going to the store and they did something. So that is my first issues - I am unable to Hot Sync. However the Hot Sync took place and I have found the 'Back-up' files on my Computer from that Hot Sync Operation.
My new issue is that somehow I lost many addresses on my Palm Desktop Address File and that is a mystery to me.
What I am trying to accomplish now is to restore those missing addresses on my Palm Desktop (Computer Files) using if possible those backed up files from the last Hot Sync as i do not believe I should try the Wireless Hot Sync again since that has failed me twice and my phone dies and it needs to be restored at the Sprint store. I'm not even sure I remember now how exactly that was done....
So, is there a way to restore addresses to my computer Palm Desktop from those back-up files from the Hot Sync? OR does anyone have a solution to actually performing this Wireless Hot Sync without killing my Palm Centro again?
Thank you for any ideas or suggestions to either or both issues.

You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. Using 6.2 the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak. For 6.2, the files are located in the username folder in PalmOSdesktop in my documents.
The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.

Here is another link regarding data loss;

The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.

T|X hot synched to Windows 7. Bluetooth hot sync deleted all info on Palm creating .bin file on PC.

I realize the subject line may be a bit wordy...
I tried installing Palm Desktop on Windows 7 PC with partial success. It appeared the Hot Sync Manager was operating, but the Palm Desktop would not load properly. I tried hot synching using Bluetooth. Hot sync deleted all information on Palm and created .bin file on PC.
Is it possible to retrieve info from .bin file and reinstall on Palm?

Hi and welcome to the HP Support Community.
I have never heard or read about Palm Desktop creating a .bin file from a botched Hotsync. If the Hotsync did not complete and the data is wiped from your handheld, I am not optimistic about restoring the data. Do you not have the data backed up via Hotsync on a different computer?

Tungsten E2 - lost all data during last hot sync

Help! I ran a hot sync per my normal procedures and lost all data on both handheld and desktop. Have used this system for 10+ years with no issues. Here are the details:
At work I run my Desktop constantly (v4.1.4 I believe) and sync my handheld throughout the day as I make additions/deletions. Hotsnyc at the end of the day and start over. Plug in again in the morning and the system continues....
Periodically I hotsnync at home just to have another back-up of my data.
PC at work crashes, hard-drive data recovered by Geek Squad and saved to a Western Digital portable drive.
I take my hand held home to sync so I can work off my desktop and ALL my data on both devices are GONE...freaking me out.
I believe I have data on the WD drive but can't figure out how to import it into the Desktop at home. When I open the Desktop program, it opens fine but is completely void of data. The import feature in the Desktop has been in effective as it doesn't appear to recognize the file type..
How do I get my saved data off the WD and into my Palm Desktop?? Would appreciate any suggestions... PLEASE!!!! Thank you!
Was running XP Pro at work (now Win 7), Vista at home I believe...

Have you heard of using a backup. I believe NVBackup will work with the E2 and it is free. This will put a complete clone of the E2 operating system files and everything on a memory card. So if this problem happens again you will have a easy way to recover all your info. NVBackup

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. So if I am understanding you when you try to sync it goes to calendar and freezes and never completes the sync. That being the case the first thing you want to do is go to the conduits and turn off calendar then sync and all should be successful, except calendar will not sync. What this indicates is that you have corrupted data in your calendar, most likely on the E2. Do a google search on your computer for a utility 'dbfixit' and download it to your computer. Extract it so you have the dbfixit.prc file and double click on it to put it in the installer. Then, insuring the calendar conduit is off, sync to install it. Once installed run dbfixit. This utility is free or can be purchased for (I believe) 12.95. The free version will search for corruption and problems let you know where they are and you will have to manually fix or delete them. If you register it, when you run the utility it will find the errors and fix them as well. Once all errors are fixed, turn the calendar conduit back on and you should be able to sync.

Error: "Conduit Manager quit unexpectedly" during Mac Hot Sync

Hello! After many years of successfully hot-syncing my Palm m500 to my various Macs, i'm suddenly getting an error message every single time my Hot Sync tries to sync the Datebook data:
The application Conduit Manager quit unexpectedly.
Mac OS X and other applications are not affected.
Click Relaunch to launch the application again.
i've already tried reattaching the USB cables and the Palm m500 into the cradle, and rebooting my Mac several times, and removing the "com.palm.xxxx.plist" files and the "Palm Desktop Info" file from my users/library/preferences folder. and i've spent several hours cruising these forums but nothing has worked. I've tried hot synching about 10 times in the last 12 hours but i keep getting this same error.
i also tried slowing down my hot sync by pressing the Shift key on my Mac during the entire hot sync, but i still get this error:
Conduit Manager: Unexpected error #-111
i tried to paste my full log report below but i ran into the 20k character limit for this form. since it looks like it's "Thread 4" that is causing the crash, i've deleted other parts of the log report but can send those to you in another posting if that would help.
thanks in advance for any help you can offer! i love my Palm m500 as I much prefer it to Apple's iCal system and would like to fix this problem so I don't need to abandon my Palm!

I had the same problem syncing my Palm TX with 10.5.8. After being without my Palm for 3 weeks, I bought Snow leopard, and all was fine again. I found out at an Apple store that 10.5.8 was full of propblems, and this was one of them.
Fast forward: I've been using 10.6 ever since it was released, happily syncing away with my Palm ... until Friday night (2 days ago), when it stopped working, and then I discovered that Palm does not and will not support Mac OS 10.6. So I'm urgently trying to migrate everything on Palm to my iPod Touch, exporting to 10.4 on an old iBook, since it will still sync with it, then moving the data to my iMac's 10.6, and then syncing with my iPod Touch.
I'm working on the problem now, and have my Schedule migrated, but now need to get my ToDo, Address Book and Memos done.
The 10.6 Address Book (v5.0.1) doesn't support the Palm's custom fields like Tiger's Address Book (4.0.6). I can't yet find a way to export the Palm's ToDos in a format that iCal can consume, and Notes on the iPod (for my Memos, possibly) is not supported on 10.6 yet for my iPod Touch.
1 step forward, 3 steps back, so far; but absolutely necessary, now that Palm has withdrawn from the Mac market.
Any ideas on these 3 problem areas, from anyone, would be most welcome.

Palm m125 stylus won't work after hot sync

Yesterday I dropped my m125 and the batteries fell out. I didn't notice right away and the system did a hard reset.
When I put the m125 in the cradle and did a hot sync, it updated everything and then I got a message I needed to reset the palm. When I clicked on the reset button, I went directly to a screen that says Preferences on the LHS and Date and Time on the RHS. My stylus no longer works properly at this point. When I touch the home icon, it does not register. If I try to navigate anywhere using the stylus, it registers that I am touching somewhere else on the screen. There is no way I can get to the home screen so I can go through the welcome and calibrate the stylus.
I uninstalled the palm desktop software, restarted the machine and reinstalled the software. Same exact problem. I installed the DigiFix free software, hot synced to add the program and ... same exact problem.
IF I take the batteries out for a hard reset, then the palm is working exactly correctly.
But I can't get any of my information back unless I hot sync, which renders the palm useless again.
IF I could download the keyboard software, I could hypothetically manually add all the lost info a little bit faster than using the touch screen. But I can't find the software and I will be vulnerable to losing everything again if I can't hot sync the stuff back onto my computer.
One other thing I don't know if it is relevant, even after I uninstalled, restarted and reinstalled the palm desktop software, all of my original data was still available. Shouldn't it be gone if I had removed the entire program? Does it matter?

After the hard reset; are you able to align your screen? If I am following you correctly you are saying this is the case, and only after the sync the digitizer will no longer align.
If this is the case you may have corrupted data in you Palm Desktop. First I would rename the backup folder under your original user name and sync again to see if this will resolve the issue. If not then you can create a new user name in your Palm DT, then hard reset the device again, then choose to sync to the new user name you created instead of the original user name. Then you could export your original data to a (original user name) file, and then import the data under the new user name to restore your data.
When you delete the Plam DT application it does not remove the data file. When you
re-install the Palm DT software it will re-associate to the original data. This is why the data came back.

Zire 71 Hot Sync

Help!!!
My old computer died, and I have a new PC with Windows 7 and 64-bit architecture.
I have installed the Palm OS and copied my data files over to the new PC, and I can run the Palm program on the new PC.
Howerer.........the Hot Sync feature will not work, and I am guessing it must be the move from 32-bit to 64-bit, but I have no idea how to resolve this issue.
Can anyone help? [email protected]
Many thanks in advance.

Hot synced Zire 71 with Windows Vista

I have a Zire 71 and I just bought a Toshiba laptop with Vista 32bit. I was able to hot-sync the Zire successfully and the files loaded onto the laptop. But when I looked at the Palm desktop, there was nothing whatsoever. No data whatsoever. Nothing. Obviously the problem is with Vista.
What can I do to get my files to appear on the Palm Desktop? Is it possibly related to the file extensions having a problem with Vista, or is there an add-on to fix this?
HELP!!!!!!!!
Many thanks in advance!
Ronald

Hot Sync with Non-latin Character Display Problem

I have a XP Home Desktop with Palm Desktop 4.01 installed. When I do a hot sync with my Sony Clie T655C, the chinese characters are display correctly in both XP home Desktop and the Clie.
Now, I have a netbook with window7 Starter installed for travelling use. It took me a while to resolve the problem on the hotsync with window 7 starter and sony clie. At the end, I have Palm desktop v6.2 and Palmhotsyncsetup from pimlico on the netbook. I am able to do a hotsync with cradle/cable, but not through network (with TCP/IP not listen error message).
I have installed the chinese, English, french IME for the window 7 Starter netbook. I am able to type Chinese character in Notepad and Word and display the character correctly. I am able to save the file ( filename in both chinese and english character), re-open it and all characters are displayed correctly.
But with Palm Desktop v6.2, I am able to type chinese and the characters are displayed correctly in calendar/data book. When I close the palm desktop and re-open it again. All the characters become "?", as a result, I can not fully evaluate the software Pimlico for window desktop. As it only works with Palm desktop v6.2.
Any suggestion?

Recovering files from your ipod

My computer got reconfigured, so is there a way ro recover files from your ipod to your computer? I have a windows XP not a mac,if that makes a difference.

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Recovered files; now what?

Hi, there, Mac experts. Me n00b, so I need to ask some basic questions. So my internal hard drive became faulty, and the external hard drive became corrupted. No data was saved, and so now I replaced the internal HD and basically have a new computer. I got Data Rescue 3, did a deep scan and now recovered a whole bunch of files.
What's next?
I imagine I need to erase and re-format de external HD. But then? Do I just load the recovered files on it, and then ask the Migration Assistant to load all my old data from it? Will that work okay?
Thank you for your input!
D

To possibly make life simpler, try to repair your Time Machine drive with Data Rescue 3, and see if Migration Assistant will work again. It is more robust than Disk Utility.
All else fails, like Eric mentioned, you will have to import the salvaged files into the appropriate programs manually. Be warned that some files that are recovered are going to be incomplete or damaged. It is possible that these can cause issues with the programs that use them, and although recovered will still have to be scrapped. You will also find that many of the recovered items cannot be used at all.
Best bet of recovery of your contact data is if you use the MobileMe service or have an iOS device that has this data as well. You just have to make sure you get that data safely off any iOS device before re-syncing with your rebuilt system.
It is not a fun task, I know from experience.

Installing Hot Sync on Win XP for Zire 21

I am trying to install the Hot Sync Palm OS software on My Windows XP Pro system. When I start the PalmDesktopWin414En.exe file it starts to install, then stops and gives the error message: "Error 1327.Invalid Drive:J;\." Can anyone help? This does not relate to a cell phone.
Thanks,
David

It shows that you are trying to install on a "J" drive. You must install on the "C" drive on your PC. Make sure the location is set to the local program drive, usually "C".
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

Palm Desktop 6.2 with drivers and hot sync will not install

My new computer has dual quad core processors (8 processors), 8 GB RAM, Vista Ultimate 64 bit.
The Palm Desktop and Hot Sync manager will not load because the New Hardware Wizard cannot find the drivers for the Palm Centro even when I point the wizard to C:/Program Files (X86)/Palm/USB-drivers.
Is the Palm Desktop software compatible with Vista Ultimate 64 bit?
The software loads just fine and operates well on my quad core,2GB RAM, Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

Please see Palm's instructions for syncing via Bluetooth. This article is for a Centro, but should be similar to your 700p.
