I suddenly can't read my Palm V Date Book file

I have been using the Palm V software (with 4.1.4 update) on my computer for years (currently running Vista) with valuable information in date book, address and memo files in particular. I no longer use the PDA after I hotsynched one time and lost half the data in my address file!
The other day after a computer restart, my Palm calendar was suddenly blank -- no entires for any years! Ouch! Other files were perfectly okay. The Date Book file has data in it, the same as my last backup before the above problem, but the software can's seem to read it. I assumed the software had become corrupted, so reloaded the original software and the 4.1.4 update. It still didn't work. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions??

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

My iMac suddenly can't read the backup hard drive I've been using for Time Machine. I did NOT just upgrade the OS or anything. The external HD is an OWC Mercury Elite All Pro. It's worked fine since I got the iMac 4 years ago.`

My iMac suddenly can't read the backup hard drive I've been using for Time Machine. I tried unplugging the cord that connects the HD to the iMac and plugging it back in, but I still get "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" below which are buttons for Initialize, Ignore and Eject. I was using a cord that went from larger square plug to larger square plug. So then I tried one that went from smaller square plug to what I think is USB (thin rectangular plug) of the sort that connects the keyboard and mouse. It's the type that my printers and scanners use to connect to the iMac. I did NOT just upgrade the OS or anything. The external HD is an OWC Mercury Elite All Pro. It's worked fine since I got the iMac 4 years ago. What else can I try before just trying to initialize and

Thanks, Michael! I do hear it at times spooling up and running. Just after I bumped the thread I looked for troubleshooting for this drive online and found the manual which suggested using Disk Utility which I've seen before accidentally (if I hit Command Shift U instead of Shift U to type "Unit" on a new folder for a student's homework ) but had never really noticed. Disk Utility does see it and also a sub-something (directory?) which might be the Time Machine archives on the disk, called disk1s2), sort of the way that my iMac's hard drive shows up as 640.14 GB Nitachi HDT7... and has a sub-something titled DB iMac, which is what I named my iMac's hard drive.
Anyway the owner's manual just shows the image under the formatting section, not the troubleshooting section, but as soon as I saw it in the manual I remembered seeing it accidentally a few times, went to it, and am now verifying the disk. Right now it's telling me that it will take 2 hours to complete the verification, so I guess I have a bigt of a wait. :-)
Does that fact that Disk Utilities can see it mean it's not failed, or just that it hasn't completely failed?
I can see the virtue in having multiple redundant backups, or at least two backups. What do you suggest? Two external hard drives? I had this one linked by ethernet, and but I also have a cord that could link it by USB (like a printer), so if this one is reparable I could get a second one and link it by USB. If this one is not reparable I could get two and do the same thing. I do have an Airport so I suppose it's possible to get some sort of Wi-Fi hard drive (my new printer/scanner uses only the network and not a cable, although it has a cable that I used for the initial installation), but I'd suspect a Wi-Fi hard drive might have a higher price.
What hard drives, if any, do you recommend? I seem to recall that when I was looking at external hard drives 4 years ago, Apple's were substantially more expensive, which is why I got the OWC Mercury Elite All Pro.

After upgrading to ios 6.1, I experienced the following problem: I am no longer able to read the magazine I subscribed (The New Yorker) if I don't have access to internet. If the iPad is on FlightMode I can't read the magazine or the books in iBooks. Can you help me?

I am having the same problem. I have a 2nd generation ipad wi-fi only. All was working great until I upgraded. NONE of my downloaded magazines or rss-feeds are accessible. For the magazines, their icons show up on the "shelves" but once you click on one it wont even take you to the "issues" i have downloaded. it jumps back to the shelf page.

Windows media Player suddenly can't read some of my MP3, and only with one user account !!!

Hi!
here is my problem:
I have a lot of MP3 in my W7 personnal computer at home. I read MP3 everyday with WMP and all was working fine, until some days ago. Some of my MP3 can't be read by WMP. I've looked at their properties, but there is nothing wrong, compared to others
MP3 that I can read.
The "unreadable" files are correctly read by VLC. So they are not corrupted.
When I swtich to an other user, the same MP3 are read correctly with WMP. (Both usersd are admins)
My MP3 are présents on two computers at home. When I connect from my second computer with a
\\computername\c$, I can read these files. So the files are definitivly OK. But when I connect from my first computer to the second one, I can't read the MPS that have the same name! it's absolutely strange!
I've tried to uninstall WMP, to delete all files related to WMP in my Appdata folder, I have even tried the FixIt from Microsoft, but any of these steps were helpful.
I've copied the "unreadable" files from the Music folder to my desktop, allways the same issue.
I've disabled my Antivirus, but without any results. I've tried the system restore, idem.
My computer is running W7 32 bits, SP1, all updates installed regularly.
Please help me, I want to understand what has happened!!! :)

Hi Yolanda,
the error message is inside a popup: (French trnaslation) "Windows media Player encountered an error and will close." I have the choice beetween "CLOSE" and "HELP ON THE WEB".
Of course the "help" is totally useless....
I don't see any troublshooter related to "media player". The only troubleshooter where I can choose Media player is for the "compatibility mode", so it's not helpful. On the "audio and devices" troubleshooter I see "read
a DVD with Windows Media Player", but that's not my case.
I've already done the last step. I copy the MP3 from my second computer to the "problematic" one, and I can't read my file. But, on the second computer, i can read this MP3 so the issue is ONLY when I try to read this file with my Windows session.
(in the same computer, with the administrator session, I can read all the files).
To put it in a nutshell:
on computer A logged as CEDRIC i can not read the mp3 called SUPERSONG (it's an example lol)
on computer A logged as administrator, I can read the SUPERSONG
on computer B logged as CEDRIC (other local account but same name) I can read the SUPERSONG mp3 that is present in the music Library (that is not the same file, but it's a file with the same name, and of crouse this is the same song). (all my MP3 are copied
from computer A to computer B in case of failure on one of the computers)
on computer A logged as CEDRIC, if I do a
\\computerB\c$\...\SUPERSONG I can not read it.
I know this is complicated to explain, but if I ask to the Microsoft community that is because I don't know what to do ;) ;) ;)

PCs can't read/open my jpeg or tiff files

Using Illustrator CS2, I export my artwork as a jpeg in the usual way but when I email it to a
PC-using client he can't see it or open it. Same applies with tiffs (saved with PC byte order). I have the 'send windows friendly attachments' option in Mail checked by default. And I get the same problem when I supply the files on a disc. Any suggestions please?

Regardless of whether the AI file is CMYK or RGB, you can choose to save the JPEG as RGB when you export the file. Make sure it is RGB and it should work fine. Of course, if the final image is intended for WEB or screen presentation, you can retain more vibrant colors by creating the file in RGB.
If you use the "Save for WEB" feature RGB is the only option, but resolution is also limited to 72 PPI.

How can we read archived sales order data?

Hi there,
We need information about sales orders, which are already archived (e.g. VBAK, VBAP).
How can we read these data from archive?
Do you know the necessary function modules?
Thanks a lot for help.

Hi,
The main transactions that provide access to sales orders data are the following:
VA03 Display Sales Order
ALO1 Document Relationship Browser
Other:
KABP Controlling Documents: Plan
KSB5 Controlling Documents: Actual
KVBI Sales Documents: Actual Line Items
Standard Reports:
S3VBAKAU: Program for sequential reading of archived sales documents
If at least one of the archiving information structures SAP_DRB_VBAK_01- SAP_DRB_VBAK_02 is active, I suggest to use the transaction ALO1.

Can't read email attachments that are .doc files

Can someone help please. My dad has a PC and I have a G4. He sends me .doc and .xls files and I can't open them. I don't have any windows type software for my MAC. What should I do? Thanks for the help. The biggest problem today is trying to open a file that is .doc. Thanks, Pam

Hi Pam and welcome to Discussions,
TextEdit (in the Applications Folder) is capable of reading .doc files.
For the future you might consider using NeoOffice for reading and editing .doc and .xls files.

Perhaps the document you need to open requires a higher version of Office. If you need a good software,
do what BigGee said, download OpenOffice at OpenOffice.org.

Palm Desktop Date Book/Layout

I have Palm Desktop 4.2.2. In month view of date book, there are blanks between entries. Sometimes entries are obscured/out of view but would be viewable if I could move them into empty space for that day. Any way to move entries into blank lines/spaces? I have tried entering times/no times, repeat/no repeat. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Wasted space that could be used for viewable entries. Help would be appreciated. Thank You

SOS! I suddenly can't read pdf files.

I got a new Mac Book Air in September and it has been great. Today I suddenly started having trouble viewing PDF files on a government website. I was prompted to update my Adobe and did so. Now, every time I attempt to open any online pdf file I get a black window. I deleted the plug-in and still have the same issue. What can I do to allow myself access to these online pdf files.
SOS! I have a major research paper due soon and can no longer see the files I was using for my research.

Mail.app suddenly can't read POP using SSL, but Thunderbird can

Hi all -
This afternoon, my mail configuration stopped working suddenly. I'm using Mail.app under 10.5.6, reading my mail from my own domain host, which is on a shared server managed by my hosting company. I read my mail using POP, SSL encrypted. This has worked, stably, for a very long time. Now, POP + SSL fails to connect. Disabling SSL makes it work. Setting up an IMAP account for the same domain works. Outgoing SMTP mail using SSL works. But POP + SSL doesn't. I set up an account in Thunderbird, just as a sanity check, and that account DOES work using POP + SSL. Then I set up an account on my wife's Macbook running 10.4.11, and it DOESN'T work with POP + SSL, and does work with POP without SSL.
(When I reboot and start Mail.app, I get the familiar, "Untrusted certificate" dialogue, because the hosts mismatch: my host is www.myhost.com, but the certificate is issued for the machine that the hosting company uses to host my domain and a number of others, host789.hostingcompany.com. This has never caused a problem for me, and I have no reason to believe that it's the problem here - I get the same dialogue under Thunderbird, which works fine.)
I'm assuming that something odd has happened on my domain host. The certificate was issued on 3/11, which is recently enough that I can imagine that I'm seeing the new certificate for the first time (maybe I'm grasping at straws here). In any case, it's gotta be some way that Mail.app is cranky about SSL that Thunderbird is not.
I've got a help ticket submitted to my domain host, but I doubt they're Mac experts. So my question is: can anyone think of anything that they might want to check out which may account for this sudden change in behavior? Disabling SSL permanently is not an option.
Thanks in advance.

And just in case anyone asks, yes, I checked my mail account settings carefully with my domain hosting service and the settings appear to be correct (or, more to the point, there were some minor differences which I corrected, without any improvement in my situation).

IPhoto 11 on Mavericks suddenly can not read library anymore

I didn't install anything, may an autoupdate of Apple happened, but I assume that updates by Apple should never destroy a running application, right???
However, when I open iPhoto, the application shows up (empty left pane, empty main content area) and shows the loading icon. This loads 5 minutes until OSX tells me that the harddisk (where my iPhoto library is stored) has been disconnected.
The HD is local and it is formatted with Extended file format (journaled).
What happened? How can I restore it?? APPLE PLEASE HELP! Also the "restore" guideline in the support area DOES NOT WORK!
Thanks.

a few problems
1 - Apple is not here and yelling at them does no good - and does make reading your posts harder and decreases the volunteer's view of getting involved - stop the rants and yelling and spend your time providing details so the volunteers can assist
2 - what version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.8.3 at you state correct? - How much free space on the hard drive that the iphot library is on? How much free space on your boot drive? how is the EHD holding the iPhoto library connected to your Mac? Any other symptoms or strange problems with that EHD?
3 - anything else you can tell us including your best guess as to the problem

How can I read windows comments in a JPEG file on my iMac

I have 120, 000 photos, many with comments added in Windows Explorer, but while they are somewhere in the file data, they are not in ASCII coding so I cannot find any easy way to read them on my iMAC. At the moment I have to use my Windows PC to read the comments while building slide shows on the iMac, which is not ideal.
The Ideal solution would be a patch for Finder so that this data showed in the comments pane of the info window, but I expect that is asking to much.While I am on the subject of Finder, I also miss the ability to sort photos by 'Date Taken' which I cannot see any way to do in Finder.

Thanks Terence,
I found a piece of software called 'Reveal' in a related answer and using that I can see that the Windows Comments and Tags (Mac keywords) are in the EXIF metadata, with Tags 0x9c9c and 0x9c9e respectively. Reveal shows the ASCII values of the characters, and I now remember writing a Visual Basic programme about 15 years ago just for my own amusement that unpacked this data and made it readable. I seem to remember that there were also C++ routines at that time that purported to do the same thing, but I did not have a C++ compiler.
I take your point about the editors, but I am new to the iMAC and still have a lot to learn. I essentially have three new photo editors/organisers (iPhoto, Adobe Lightroom, and Aperture) to learn plus Adobe Photoshop Elements in it's MAC guise, and I am not prepared to use them seriously until I understand what they are doing. In the past I have not found any of the organisers able to cope with the number of pictures that I have - they just go away and huff and puff for hours or days before crashing, if I let them lose on the complete set.
Thanks for your help though.

Can't read special characters in an excel file using JDBC

Hi! I 've a code to read an excel file using JDBC-ODBC bridge. I can read the values, but any special characters is readed wrong, just symbols. The special characters are of spanish language. This is my code:
                Locale currentLocale;
          currentLocale = new Locale("es", "MX");
          Locale.setDefault(currentLocale);
               Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" );
               c = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};DBQ=comisionesperfiles.xls");
               stmnt = c.createStatement();
               String query = "Select * from [Hoja1$]" ;
               ResultSet rs = stmnt.executeQuery( query );
               while( rs.next() ){
                    String valor = rs.getString(2) ;
                    if(valor != null && !"null".equalsIgnoreCase(valor)){
                         if(!comisiones.contains(valor)){
                              System.out.println(valor);
                              comisiones.add( valor );
               rs.close();
               stmnt.close();As you can see, I've tried to set the locale, but it didn't work.
I'm using Excel 2003, Java Version 1.4.2_07 and Windows XP Professional (in latin american spanish).
Hope someone can help me!

Where can I READ how to combine an audio file with a slide show

I need to make a dias show running with some speech/audio file beneath - so that I get an avi file or whatever to present on the internet.
But no matter where I turn, I find video after video - and I am not so stupid, that I cannot read a text.
So can someone tell me where I can find a TEXT manual, describing how I do that?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Are you in Premiere Elements Editor? I'm seeing in PSE Organizer and can't see that "Drop files here" text anywhere.
This is how Slideshow dialog looks in PSE11 Organizer. You can rearrange the images by clicking on "Quick reorder"button or by dragging thumbnails on the thumbnail strip you see at the bottom.
Let me know if you are facing any issues with this dialog
