Lost desktop info after installing Ver 6.2, sych would not update PC

The Win7 64 drivers are a good thing,  syncs fine!  THX!
After installing Desktop 6.2 all my desktop data gets gone except the media files.  I had no way of importing backup files so I had to revert back to using Ver 4.2.  Is there some trick to using the latest SW?  The TX is using HotSync Ver 5.4.8P.  Appreciate any help.  Thanks
Post relates to: Palm TX

This data loss issue has been reported to the developer of PD 6.2. Palm/HP, is/are not the owners of the software. The known causes are leaving Palm Desktop open when a Windows update occurs or leaving PD open when shutting down the PC.
There is no way to prevent the loss other than exporting your data on a per data change basis. The best option is to revert back to a previous version of PD as you have done.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a separate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://kb.hpwebos.com/wps/portal/kb2/common/article/28734_en.html
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

  • After installing an App, the icon does not appear on the desktop?

    After installing an App, the icon does not appear on the desktop? Where would I find it?

    Some people have found that an app (usually iBooks for some reason) hasn't appeared on a homescreen until after the iPad has been reset and has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Also depending on what the app is have you got an age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

    Epson 4880 stopped working after installing ver. 9.17 driver.

    I can't help thinking you may need to reinstall Mavericks. Most people (>99%) aren't having these issues! If you count the number of problem posts, then divide by millions, you'll see what I mean.
    I'm fairly certain the Gutenprint drivers support your 560 (can't know for sure because you didn't give the whole model name).
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    (feature support in Gutenprint drivers is "different." Some people really like it - others not so much)
    For the Epson, (which I have 3 of) it is not possible to pinpoint what the issue is (printer or Mac), until you get it printing.
    Part of what Resetting the Printing System does is restart the CUPS daemon, which re-creates the index of where to find each driver. So try Resetting the Printing System:

    Quite frustrating. Any fix?

    Do they still have audio in iTunes? Then, try using iTunes to "convert" them to iPhone-compatible format.

  • After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  It gives me the following error "You can't open the application "QuickTime Player.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete."  What can I do?

    After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  I receive the following error message:
    You can’t open the application “QuickTime Player.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete.  So I tried to unistall QT and I get an error that says, You can not delete this application as it is a requirement for the OSX.
    Well I did find a way to delete it, by going into the various components and one by one deleting it.  Now I reinstall it and  the message is that this Quick Time is for an earlier version before Maverick 7.  SMH....Now what.?

    Hello, terrygav. 
    I would recommend processing a reinstall of Mavericks.

    Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:

  • After installing Exchange cu6 2 servers will not autostart

    after installing Exchange CU6 - 2 services will NOT autostart
    Transport Submission & Unified Messaging
    Both will start if I goto Services & Manually start these
    (Unified Messaging - I think that was an option on the initial install but I'm not using unified messaging anyway!)
    any ideas how to find out why and fix it ?
    ChrisS

    Hi
    They are probably dependant on other services, try delaying the startup of these services and see. I have it with one of my servers as well but since CU2. if i set the services to delayed then they start correctly.

  • After installing LR (5.5), LR does not recognize  my Tamron 24 70 f/2.8 for Nikon

    After installing LR (5.5), LR does not recognize  my Tamron 24 70 f/2.8 for Nikon, it defaults to the Tamron 28 75. The lens profile is installed. How can I correct this? Thanks.

    Lens profiles are file type-specific, meaning you must have a Raw Lens Profile for a Raw file and a Jpeg Lens Profile for a Jpeg file. If you only have one lens profile installed on your system, it won't work for both types of files.
    Double check to make certain that this isn't the issue.
