I think I'm screwed. HotSynching overode my handheld calendar....HELP!

I'm trying to remain calm.. but I think I just lost 4 years of my calendar...
I use my Tungsten E for business, and my desktop calendar is where I do most of my scheduling and then go back and adjust it as actual time records for billing...
Today my Win XP computer kinda froze and my Palm Desktop wasn't responding... didn't do a hard reboot or anything but closed the program.
Somehow next time I opened up the Palm Desktop program my calendar was just gone...
The handheld was current as of 2 days ago, so I thought I'd restore the calendar from that when I HotSynched...
But I guess I didn't check my preferences and the only appointment it retained was the last one I had adjusted.... all the rest in both handheld and desktop are now gone. ( pref was "Synchronize Calendar" w/o either handheld or desktop checked to always override the other.)
Any suggestions on how to retrieve the data?
I was thinking of using GoBack... but I don't even know what the calendar file might be called...or if I can get it back....
Any help will be greatly appreciated...

I am revisiting this topic because I think I've done it again.... or I should say my computer/ handheld have. I tried hotsyncing yesterday and realized I hadn't done so since March 15, 2011.
That's when my handheld records ended.
So, I went to the desktop program where my records should have been current... and somehow, since the last Windows security update a couple of days ago (coincidental?) they weren't. (Seems that my computer must have automatically restarted to finish the security update installation and my desktop program was open at the time. Somehow I think this combination of events might have corrupted my calendar files.)
Hotsyncing erased files on the desktop back to September, 2009.
So I tried hotsyncing again... and more files were erased... though on the handheld this time, going back to August 2004. (I have had my desktop program through three computers, a Palm Pilot, a Palm III and a Tungsten E and my calendar was more or less continuous going back to 1998.)
I decided to check the hotsync log, where I discovered it had been telling me since last October that it was unable to sync various files, mostly contacts and calendar. It's telling me I may have reached a maximum number of records at somewhere between 6,000 and 7,000 (does this really happen?) and suggested I delete some.
I'm printing weekly calendars from the desktop to 2009 while I still have them.
After checking this board and remembering Go Back I thought I'd have an easy fix... except I remembered I replaced Norton with trend Micro about two years ago after some issues with Norton.. so now I've really done it.
Bottom line:
I think it's time to retire both my Palm desktop and my Tungsten E and go with either an iPhone or Android phone. My son showed me how easy Google Calendar and Contacts (Gmail) are to use, with many of the same features as what I'm used to... but since everything is stored "in the cloud" I won't have to synchronize and i can access all my data from anywhere. Though I may get in the habit of printing calendar records weekly for hard backup.
I'm going through and printing weekly calendars going back to the beginning, just to help me remember which customers I did work for when and in more recent years document mileage, etc., for tax purposes.

Hi wellsfar,
Which version of Adobe Reader you are using?
Is it showing any error message?
A screenshot of the error would be more helpful.

I (think) I accidentally screwed up my EFI or MBR installing Ubuntu

Ok. I was installing Ubuntu on my MBP. I didn't pay attention to where it was installing grub. I tried deleting ubuntu and grub. I symlinked the EFI partition, and deleted grub from there. When I boot, I get a black screen, and the sh-sh noise my mac normally makes when it boots. If it was the first time booting since I last booted successfully, it makes 1 long beep. If I shut down, wait a few minutes, and try again, I get a black screen with no beep. If I shut down, wait, boot it back up, I can boot up fine. I think I messed my up my MBR or EFI. I also did sudo fdisk -u /dev/disk0. I don't have a windows disk, and reinstalling os x is not an option, because my mom would kill me for "messing with technology." Any help would be appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. Do you happen to remember where you found instructions to "force update" the firmware? I've tried the Firmware restoration CD but can't figure out how to use it since holding down the power button doesn't change the boot behavior.

I think I really screwed up --- need help badly.

Hello ---
Today I did something I have wanted to do for a long time. I put a new Newer Tech 1.6 Gb processor in my trusty G4 733 digital audio machine. I did everything the manual said correctly, performed the firmware update, installed the new processor, and --- you guessed it --- nothing! Computer wouldn't boot at all from either drive or from a cd rom. The monitor tells me there is no video in, and the power button on the front only illuminates when I press it --- then it goes dark again. The reset button on the front doesn't do anything anymore either. I have reset the PRAM, and even reinstalled the original processor, with the same result --- nothing. I hope someone out there can give me some advice, as I have an awful lot of myself in that machine. Thank goodness I have this laptop I'm using right now, or I couldn't even ask for help. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you all for your responses. I checked the voltage in the PMU battery again this AM --- 3.7V, so it appears as if it is OK. However, I will buy a new one either today or tomorrow anyway just in case. As far as whether the cpu cards were fully seated, I'm sure they were. I seated the new one, removed it when it didn't work the first time, reseated it again, and it still didn't work. That's when I removed it again and re-installed the original, and I'm sure it's seated all the way. Both of them heated up while the power was on, and the fans operate on both of them. As far as the video card goes, I didn't touch or come anywhere near it, so I don't see how it could be not plugged in. The card I have actually has two screws holding it in place. What I really don't understand is, why do only portions of this machine not operate now? Why, for instance, does the Superdrive work, or at least make noise when I try to boot from a CD (of course I can't tell what's happening because the monitor is not getting input), and why does the power button illuminate when I press it and then go off. Why do neither the reset or the programmer's button on the front function? Is there some component of this machine, other than the logic board (by the way, is that synonomous with the motherboard?) which could have malfunctioned instead of the logic board itself? I appreciate your comments regarding the fact that "all is not lost". I thought about those same things last night while trying to sleep. I know I can remount my drives in external cases if I have to, and I'm sure I can replace the logic board also if that's necessary. It's all just a big pain, and I'm either mad at myself for doing a lousy job, or mad at OWC for selling a lousy product. I just don't know who to be mad at more.
Thanks again,

Oh dear, I think I just screwed up my disk image. HELP!

I just got, several hours ago, a snow iMac G3 (OS 9.0.4), went home, connected it to the emac via firewire, and turned on the imac and pressed T.
the in the emac (OS 10.4.10), I created a disk image from the folder in the imac that has all the stuff in it (ALL of the stuff. its the only item on the root diretory). then I repartitioned the imacs HD four ways: one for the stuff that came on it, one for Ubuntu, and one for my deceased ibook( clamshell OS 9.2.1), and the rest free space.
then I mounted the disk image to make sure it worked, it did. then I went to the restore pane in Disk Utility, dragged the disk image to the sources box, and the partition onto the destination box. then I pressed restore, and it failed.
but I though, 'oh yeah, in 9 or lower, you could just drag system folders around and boot from them. so I went to mount the disk image, and now it says "no mountable file system" this really *****.
I figure I have two options:
1. recover the data from the disk image - hard
2. recover the data from the hard disk - even harder
help? anyone?

maybe I screwed up by having a disk image smaller then the partition?
but how would that affect the disk image? it was compressed, so doesn't that mean that it is read only, ie locked?

I think ATT is screwing me. Is there any way to monitor my MB usage?

I see odd charges like 50MB when I am sure I was not using my phone. Certainly, I would remember using 50MB, that is watching roughly 50 min of video.
So, is there any way to monitor my usage on the iPhone? Some log that breaks down the usage by minute?
Thanks

I believe I may have found the culprit for me... It's one of two things - not sure which one (maybe a combination of both) since I did both at the same time. I just wanted to avoid data overnight, and not have to constantly turn off Cellular Data (if I didn't have to).
For 3-4 nights, I left Cellular data off, just to prove the data reported early morning wasn't data deferred from earlier in the day. Sure enough, if turning off Cellular Data overnight, no mysterious data showing up early morning.
Then I did these two things:
1) Plugged iP4 into iTunes, CTRL-click on iphone and do 'Reset Warnings', then CTRL-click again and hit 'Sync', and then the "would you like to send Apple crash reports, bla bla bla"... hit "Disagree"
2) go to http://oo.apple.com using your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4228)
After doing those two things, I started leaving Cellular Data ON over the last couple of nights.
Low and behold - at worst, 1-2MB overnight and that's from some emails that came in overnight. No huge 40-50MB chunks, or even 100+MB chunks which I've also had...
I don't know which of the two did it, or maybe a combination of both. I don't really care, all I wanted is to eliminate any "unapproved by ME" data being transferred overnight without my knowledge or consent. Seems to be working so far after two nights. Will continue to monitor obviously.

I think I'm screwed...

I spent five days in London and downloaded 4,140 KB worth of data. I don't have an international data plan. Does anyone know how much this will cost me?
(Gulp)

it depends on the country you visited.
this website should help.....i set it up based on germany's rates.
http://www.wireless.att.com/travelguide/coverage/coverage_details.jsp?CIDL=276&M NC=CING&DID1=309&DID2=&STEP=5
however it says $0.50 per text and $.0195/KB per data
so you'll be paying approximately $80 in overages assuming you didn't send any texts and that you were in germany.

I think I just screwed up my ipod please help

All right I recently bought an external usb hard drive since my computer was almost ouot of space. I moved my ipod library over to it and for some reason every song was duplicated ,some multiple times, and about 1,000 songs are missing. Also now it says i have t o erase and sync because my ipod is synced with another library. I still have all my songs and playlists on my ipod so how can I just restore my ipod library to my hard drive and have that be my itunes library that will sync with my ipod?
thanks for your help,
frustrated and mad

did you make sure that no one else is using your connection to the internet, or maybe you just had another program working?!?!

Yikes! I think I goofed permissions, but not sure...(help!)

Sometimes I sit at the wifey's computer to access my Aperture file which is another room residing on the hard drive of my machine. Well, sometimes when I'm at her machine and navigate (with Finder) to my computer wherein the Aperture file resides and attempt to launch it, I get a message that I don't have proper permissions. If I log in to my computer with my logon and password, I can access it, but to save time, I did the following:
I changed the permissions on my Aperture file and EVERY file and folder within to be "read + write" by everyone. Now I can launch the Aperture file from any computer on my home network, but I've got this sinking feeling that I've screwed up and I will have problems somewhere down the line (with Vault, Time Machine, or something sinister just lying out there waiting on me).
So, do you think changing all the permssions essentially was an error I need to correct (somehow)? Or, does it really matter if I control my home network and I'm not worried about security.
Any advice? Please?
Charles

Nuclear launch codes - now that's an idea...
Thanks John, I feel much better. I got to thinking that maybe, somehow, Aperture itself might overwrite some data unless it was protected or something like that. Whew, glad I didn't screw up. I have 14,000 family pics in one library alone! I have way too much time on my hands.
The Fast User Switching is definitely the way to go. I didn't even think of that.
Thanks again,
Charles

Netscape Mail Really Screwed Up NOW (Saturday 8.26.06) HELP

Netscape has really screwed up now. Since I have both a .mac account, and set up four netscape email accounts, I jump back and forth to both.
As of this weekend, netscape has aparently dropped or trashed hundreds of thousands of their email accounts, while switching over to their new AOL email system.
They only make their email accounts login work for Mac OS 10.3.9 users, running the newer Safari. For all users of Apple OS 10.2+ it seems they have dropped those accounts completely.
I alone, have over three years of emails and linked accounts to eBay and PayPal through netscape. They never even sent out email notices to account users of this switch over.
Is anyone using OS 10.2.8, having netscape email accounts, able to find a way to acces their netscape email?
Looks like I will have to start all over again, possibly set up multiple .mac email accounts. Atleast this way, I will always have control over my email through Apple.
To netscape if your reading this: "I was an avid user of netscape home page and email until this weekend .... now my credo is DIE NETSCAPE/AOL ... can you say CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT?!"

It has been known for some time that Netscape Mail would be upgraded. It is now AIM Mail. Saved emails will have a life of 27 days. If you need them, you should print them as hard copies. I don't think the class action lawsuit will work since the Terms of Use have always stated that any accounts can be terminated without notice. I'd also advise upgrading the Mac OS since future Apple features might require more recent software. Examples are QuickTime 7.1.2 and video capability in iTunes 6.0.5.

Firefox won't display at all, comp thinks it's there but nothing.redid plugins also, no help. thanks, Steve

Hi, firefox was working fine for the longest time and suddenly, it just wouldn't display on my screen. The icon is there, it looks like it's trying to load and nothing happens. I uninstalled it and reinstalled, didn't help. Did the updates on 2 plugins, that didn't help either. It seems the comp thinks firefox is up and running but there's just no moniter display at all. I know this as when I do a comp clean up, it will tell me to shut down Firefox first before continuing. Not sure why this has happened suddenly. Any help and instruction would be really appreciated. Thanks, Steve. I've tried everything I know.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I need some advice on replacing my ipod touch 4th generation screen. The silver plate won't go back into it's original place and i can't put the screws back in. I really need help i don't want my ipod to be broken!!!

I started to replace my ipod 4g screen but the silver plate that goes on top of the battery won't go back into place. It's not lining up with the screw holes so i can't finish the repair. Please I'm begging you all to help me with some advice and tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be greatly appreeciated. ASAP

Your best bet is to email the company that sold you the screen for advice. Or you could search on YouTube for repair instructions. Hopefully, you will see where you went wrong. Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement on an iPod that has been opened.
