Lost contacts after reinstalli​ng - where are they stored on a mac

My mac book pro crashed on me, so I reinstalled OS 10.5.8. I had all my files backed on an external harddrive, but now my palm desktop(palm 505 - software version 4.2.1) is empty, and my palm handheld is also empty. Where can I find all my contacts on my mac? hope someone can please help me!!!
thanks in advance!!
Post relates to: Palm V

thanks for that info - I didn't know that about finding the library in 10.8 (obviously) -- and I was able to find the library and navigate my way to my catalog -- it looks like it's fine - in fact I was able to run the catalog manage, repair, optimize etc and it says everything is fine - however when I restart PSE and the organizer, my photos are still all missing from the albums.
too late now, but tomorrow, I'll try to see if I can find that catalog in yesterday's time machine back up -- do you know if that's possible?
I'm not really sure what happened - because when I started out today, things seemed to be working fine - it wasn't until I tried to add a new album that I discovered the issue with the missing photos.
truthfully I don't care about the albums - they would be easy to reconstruct -- but I'd like to be able to delete the names of them and start again - but I can't seem to find info on how to do that.  the book I have doesn't give that basic kind of info - more info on using the tools to be creative.
thanks so much for your help - you're very knowledgeable about PSE!!! and Mountain Lion which I've only been using for a few months.
cheers, Lynne

  • Lost contacts in sync modified where are they now?....

    hi all,
    i went to sync my phone and was promted that itunes would modify a certain number of my contacts and i accidently hit yes. when i went to my phone several of my contacts are not there. can someone tell me how to reverse that process and how to get those back or where i can find them.
    thanks

    I've no idea what this is, sorry.  I've since tried a backup restore but only got favorite contacts back.  How would I find out what program is used during sync?

  • I am using Garageband and saving my tunes as iTunes files but can´t find them in iTunes on my computer after syncing. Where are they?

    My answer in the older thread is still valid
    Maybe the "iTunes Music" folder is hidden.
    Please open Terminal and issue the following command
    ls -ladO /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music
    you should get a line similar to this
    drwxrwxrwx  13 yourusername  staff  hidden 442 12 Mar 21:49 /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
    Numbers, date and time may differ.
    If you see hidden then the folder is hidden. To unhide "iTunes Music", in Terminal issue the following command
    chflags nohidden /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music

  • Lost email plus some folders after recovery. Where are they?

    I had to do a system software recovery. The screen said it would not erase data files. However; afterwards, some of my data folders are now missing. As well as ALL my email.
    I suspect that the files and folders are still on my computer because my drive has about the same amount of free space available. The question is; where would those files be? Are they hidden under my old user name? I used the default user name each time which is HP_Administrator. Would that mean that the old user account got deleted with the new?
    system:
    HP Pavilion Media Center TV m7334n Desktop PC
    Windows xp
    *recovery files are kept on drive D:
    ****updated question ****
    Can windows xp user accounts get corrupted? If so, is the data for those accounts also corrupted? And could it possible be retrieved? And how?

    Thanks. I searched drive C:, the only *.dbx files it found are the new ones just created.
    Again, some of my data folders (some, not all) was deleted. But my free disk space is about the same. Leading me to believe my data is not gone, just hidden somewhere on drive C:, but where?

  • When I back up my musical files where are they stored?

    I got a nano a couple of years ago and put all my albums on it (synced through i-tunes). I hadn't used my nano for a few months and when I went back to it my library seemed to have been replaced.......is it possible that my teenage son overwrote the nano?. Where are my files actually backed up - would it be on the laptop I used during the backup process (even though I was signed on to I-tunes at the time) or are they in fact backed up remotely through the I-tunes site.
    It is all so confusing - and frustrating.
    I searched for my song library on my Click-free back up device but it does not seem to have stored the songs.....just stored the link to I-tunes.
    Could somebody direct me on how to solve my problem.
    cheers

    Your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and can be synced back to your nano as you did originally.  Have you opened iTunes and clicked on Music to see if your music is still there?

  • HT201077 I am a new iphone 5 user and set it up to use icloud to store pictures, etc. I set up my home computer afterwards, but only some pictures are on the icloud. How do I view the rest of my pictures on my  home computer? Where are they stored?

    Only some of my pictures are on iCloud that are currently stored on my phone. Where are the others? Why aren't all the pictures from my iPhone showing in the iCloud? I can't find the pictures I saved from my ipodtouch, either....

  • Entire text history disappears after sending MMS - Where are they, how do I get them back

    I was attempting to send a picture via MMS, the picture was unedited, no third party app was used for editing or sending the picture. When it was sending, the apple icon appeared on a black background as if it was rebooting. When the reboot was complete, my entire history of messages was gone. When I search for messages on spotlight search, they appear - so they are still somehow in the phone. But when I select one from the search for viewing, it takes me to a "new message" page as if the text no longer exsists. I tried turning the phone off, removing the SIM card, leaving it for several minutes, then restarting. I am still opperating on ios 4, and have not attempted a restore yet. I am hoping to retrieve the lost messages, since apparently they are still being stored and remembered by some part of my phone. Why did this happen, and is there any way to save my message history? There are quite a few conversation I really want back. I would also like to know why my phone would do this and how I can prevent it from happening again in the future.

    Solution that worked for me provided by cor-el:
    [[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/822834?new=1]]
    The second Google cache link works. To find the file in Windows, in Firefox click "Help", then "Troubleshooting Information". In the new tab that opens click the box "Open Containing Folder" under Application Basics and next to Profile Directory. Close Firefox. Find the file "localstore.rdf" (in the Windows folder you just opened) and delete. Open Firefox and customize your toolbars. Should be the last time you have to do it.

    Follow the instructions in this article, open the iPod in the My Computer window, and drag the episodes to the Recycle Bin. Music, videos, and podcasts placed onto the iPod outside of an iPod-specific file manager such as iTunes are not usable on the iPod.

  • When downloading iOS 5, I lost my GoodReader PDFs. Where are they and can I retrieve them?

    I lost over 100 annotated pdf files when downloading to my iPad. I see ghostly files on my library on my MacBookPro but cannot retrieve them. Do I need some software to reveal these files? Are the GoodReader PDFs on my laptop or on GoodReader's server? Thanks.

    Have you been using your phone as recommended?  If so, you've been importing photos in your camera roll onto your computer for safe keeping.  Just as you would with a standalone digital camera.  Your photos would then reside safely on your computer for archival. 
    While camera roll photos ARE part of the backup, not everything always goes smoothly as you've seen, which is why the recommendation to import photos as soon as possible to your computer.
    If you have a recent backup of your iPhone, you can restore and hopefully many of your photos will be on this backup.  Any photos or data added to your phone since this last backup are, of course, gone forever.

  • PS CS5 preset sizes, where are they stored?

    I recently installed CS5 Extended and I have so many special sizes for images stored for versions in the past and would like to import these
    so I don't have to start from scratch. Does anyone know where they are stored in the programs?  I have 4 for mac and converted over to 5 extended for
    windows?

    He's talking about saved, named preset sizes in for example the File New dialog.
    I hadn't made any size presets up to now myself, but one can use a method like the following  to find files stored from the various Photoshop features:
    Save your preset or whatever with a unique name, not likely to be used for any other file.
    Search your system for a file with that unique name, or with that name in its content.
    Windows Search leaves a lot to be desired, so step 2 may not straightforward, but it can be done.
    I have already found that the presets aren't stored in separate, discrete files.  Now I'm doing a content search and will report back here if I find where the presets are stored.

  • Why don't I see shapes (created with my iPhone 5s) in creative cloud (for iOS) and used space in CC is 0 MB? Where are they stored?

    I installed Adobe Shape on my iPhone (iOS 8) and don't see, where the shapes are saved.
    In CC app for iOS there are no files (and used space in CC is 0 Mb). And I don't see my shapes in your other your apps (for iOS: Ideas, Photoshop Mix).
    How can I export shapes to any files storages?

    The CC app for iOS does not currently show assets in CC Libraries.  The app only shows assets in folders.  Check out this thread for details on how to get your shapes.
    How do I use shapes I create in Adobe Shape?

  • Textedit preferences: where are they stored?

    I want to be able to copy Styles in TextEdit to new OSX's. I normally use iText Express instead of TextEdit (under OSX 10.6.8), and it's preferences were stored in an invisible file called .globalpreferences.plist inside the Preferences folder. Doesn't seem to be the case for OSX 10.8, so I've been playing around with TextEdit to see where it's style preferences are stored.
    The interesting thing is: I can delete all preferences that mention TextEdit or globalpreferences, and both TextEdit and iText Express still retain the new styles I set up.
    Does anyone know where the style preferences are stored?
    As an aid to tracking this down: when searching for modified files, how do I set a search for Last Modification Date to the last few minutes?

    Thanks Barney. Now some notes for my future reference (in case I forget how to do it) and for anyone else who wants to copy Style settings of iTextExpress (and I assume Text Edit) from one OSX to another.
    Under  OSX 10.6.8
    iText Express style preferences are stored inside the Users> Preferences folder in a file called .GlobalPreferences.plist. This file is invisible. It can be made visible by a utility called DesktopUtility.
    Once made visible it can be copied and archived, but it cannot be copied back because an invisible file cannot be replaced. To replace an existing version with an archived version, the existing version must first be deleted.
    Under  OSX 10.8.3
    iText Express style preferences are stored inside the Users> Preferences folder in a file called com.apple.AppKit.TextFavorites.plist. The folder is invisible. It can be made visible by a utility called DesktopUtility. Once the folder is made visible, the preference file can be archived and copied to another OSX.
    The contents of .GlobalPreferences.plist and com.apple.AppKit.TextFavorites.plist seem to be interchangeable. I copied the contents of the first (from OSXC 10.6.8) and put them in the second (in OSX 10.8.3) and up came all the Styles.

  • I lost all of my contact with yesterdays update.  Where are they and why did this happen?

    I lost all of my contact with yesterdays update.  Where are they and why did this happen?

    What update? There was nothing released yesterday relating to iCloud.
    Where have you lost your contacts from? Your computer, your phone, iCloud.com?
    If they are no longer in any of those places, you'll need to restore them from your most recent backup.
