  • Palm Zire 31 sat idle for too long and then my hard drive crashed - I have recovered my palmOne files from the hard drive but don't know how to install to desktop?

    Since this product is no longer supported by the manufacturer, I hope that someone out there will be able to help me find a way to get my calendar and contacts restored to the desktop.  My handheld sat unused for a very long time, but my desktop calendar and contacts were current up until my hard drive crashed.  I was able to recover the PalmOne files from the crashed hard drive but all I can see are *.dat files.  When I try to import or restore, the *.dat is not a supported file extension.  HELP!  I have the original installation CD. Thank you

    .dat are the actual working files Palm Desktop is looking for - you can't import them.
    Just create a user in Palm Desktop and copy the .dat files (that have more than 1k of data) over the existing address.dat and datebook.dat (or calendar.dat, I forget which existed on your device).

  • Dead laptop, hard drive safe, where are photos?

    My laptop died. I have photos in LR that I didn't export. I have the hard drive from the crashed laptop connected to another computer. Where are the photos located in that hard drive?

    Have you located your LR catalog file(s) and Previews folder on the old drive? You need to reinstall LR and move them over to the new hard drive, then you can find the last know location for the image files on the "old drive."

  • Hard drive crashed, having trouble recovering photos. How can I do this?

    My hard drive crahsed a while ago, so I had to buy an external one to hook up to my mac to replace it. After the crash, I used this external hard drive as my new computer. The old hard drive was broken, it wouldn't let you edit or change any files on it, but it let you view all of its contents, and open it. You just couldn't delete, remove, or change anything, it's like a read-only file. All of my photos were on that hard drive, and I found the iPhoto Library, where they were all stored. Like I said, I can open these files on my new hard drive, so that's what I tried to do, but it says that it can't open the Library, because the version of iPhoto I have is a later version than what the iPhoto library is. This is probably because my OS went through many updates on my new hard drive, after the old one broke.
    How can I recover these photos on the older iPhoto Library? Right Now, I have iPhoto '08, 7.1.5, so the library i'm trying to open is some version earlier than that, though I don't think I went through many updates, so it's possible it's still '08, just an earlier version.
    Does anybody have any advice?

    FIrst off it sound like you might have a permissions problem with your old drive - you could try the support forum for your computer to see if anyone there can assist in actually fixing that problem
    As to upgrading - each newer version of iPhoto can open (and convert as needed) older versions of the library - so iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5 should be able to open (and convert as needed) any library from iPhoto 1 through iPhoto '08
    If the conversion is not working then you have a damaged library and need to load your backup or rebuild the library after backing up - depress the command and option keys and launch iPhoto and rebuild the library

  • My Dell laptop hard drive crashed after using iCloud photo sharing

    Has anyone had PC problems after beginning to use iCloud? I seem to have problems with shared photos on iPhone & PC and with contacts for automobile Bluetooth.

    I solved my own question. So for anyone else who has this problem, here's what to do.
    1. Plug in your iPhone. Sync it with the computer.
    2. Click on your phone in the sidebar and click on your phone's music tab on the top right.
    3. Select that you'd like to sync music from this library.
    4. Select what you want to sync. Yes, it will delete the current music off of the phone but if you've imported that into your new library, then you'll just put it right back on. Your phone currently thinks it's supposed to sync with the hard drive that doesn't exist, so that's the problem.
    5. Press apply, then press sync (lower right).
    6. It should sync everything....I hope....That's what it looks like it's doing.
    7. Never accidentally unplug your phone during an update again.
    8. Hope to whatever god you pray to that your hard drive doesn't crash again.
    9. Enjoy your day

  • Hard drive crash, want to recover photo's from iPhone.

    Hello,
    Since I've my iPhone, I have no backups of my iPhoto directory. I thought that two places (PC & iPhone) would be enough for a 100% cover.
    Now the worst happened, my HD bailed on me. Bought a new HD, reinstalled OS X.
    But when I connected my iPhone, there was no way to recover the photo's of it!
    I'm not talking about the photo's taken with the iPhone, but the photo library.
    Can anyone advise me on how to recover my photo library from my iPhone?
    Greetings,
    Daniel

    Iphone is not a storage device. This pics that are synced to iphone are optimized for viewing on iphone and are of lower quality than the original.
    You should always back-up important info on an external source (external Hard drive for example).
    You can e-mail them to yourself, one at a time. They will not be of original quality.

  • Computer hard drive crashed and lost all photos

    Is there a way to retrieve the photos from my iPod back onto my computer harddrive? The files that show up in the iPod photo cache on my hard drive are .thmb extensions and can't be opened by my system.

    - If the photos were synced to the iPod they are gone
    - If they were taken by or saved to the iPod gp to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the date/time of the iPod backup. If it is when you synced then restoring from backup should get the photos back.
    - If you had turned on Settings>iCloud>PhotoStream, then set up PhotoStream on the computer and get the last 30 days of photos from PhotoStream.  You should also be able to get them back by simply turning one Photostream on the restored iPod.

  • I've been using Adobe Acrobat 7 for many years. I updated my full version of Acrobat 5 to get to 7. My hard drive crashed and I've been trying to reinstall Acrobat and it will not install. Adobe will not help because 7 is no longer supported. Does anyone

    I've been using Adobe Acrobat 7 for many years. I updated my full version of Acrobat 5 to get to 7. My hard drive crashed and I've been trying to reinstall Acrobat and it will not install. Adobe will not help because 7 is no longer supported. Does anyone know where I can go for help?

    You won't be able to install your original Acrobat 7 at all, or use your original serial number. The server which used to allow this was switched off.
    But assuming you have a compatible system, like Mac OS 5 or Windows XP, licensed users of Acrobat 7 can download a replacement and get a replacement serial number.

  • Is it possible to reorder an iPhoto book 2 years later? My hard drive crashed and the photo book is no longer in my iPhoto but Apple printed it for me before the crash.  Would Apple still be able to print another copy?

    Is it possible to reorder an iPhoto book 2 years later? My hard drive crashed and the photo book is no longer in my iPhoto but Apple printed it for me before the crash.  Would Apple still be able to print another copy?

    For future books you might consider doing what I do:  create a separate library for each book andcopy the photos for the book from your working library to the book library with iPhoto Library Manager. 
    When the book is completed and ordered burn the library package to a CD, DVD or external HD to archive it so it's available for editing and reordering at a later date if needed.

    Can someone please help a friend of mine get a permanent registration key (not a trial key that expires in 30 days) to replace his lost registration key for Adobe Photoshop CS2? His previous hard drive crashed and he no longer has his registration key. This is vital for his wedding business.

    Thanks to everyone for the tips on my CS2 question. It turns out in the end it was some plug-in filter software that was causing the glitch, not a lack of an Adobe registration key. As for why he still uses CS2, it does the job for him, so that's all he needs.

    Call Apple to purchase replacement discs or order a copy of Snow Leopard from Apple's Online Store. Follow these instructions:
    Drive Preparation and Install Snow Leopard
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. When completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard. Once you boot from Snow Leopard you should open Software Update and install all the available updates required. After you complete this and restart the computer open the App Store application in the Dock or Applications folder.
    8. Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password. Purchase and download Lion.
    9. After Lion's installer downloads, install Lion.
