Okay, Thanks! Here's the steps that you will need to follow in order to possibly recover your data from your most recent hotsync. Go to Start=> My Computer=> Programs=> Palm=> (Your chosen username folder, this is the username thats used to store all of your data in Palm Desktop)=> Next, Go into all of the Conduit Folders that you use to store data(such as calendar, address, task, memo's)=> click inside of each of the conduit folders and change for example( inside the address folder you will see two(2) files, one named "ADDRESS.BAK" and the other "ADDRESS.DAT" ; You will need to rename the "ADDRESS.BAK" to "ADDRESS.DAT" and "ADDRESS.DAT" to "ADDRESS.OLD"
You will need to follow the example I have listed above for each individual conduit (calendar, address, task, memo's...etc) Remember that all files listed as
address.dat becomes .old------------address.bak becomes .dat
Hope this Helps!

How to restore the previous version of an app?

Hi,
I would like to restore the previous version of an iphone APP. I hate the new version. I deleted the new version of the app on my Iphone 4 and also on Itunes. I use windows 7 pro. Is there a way to get the previous version of that app? I use Itunes 11, which is the newest version I believe. I have done several backups this year and last year, if that helps. But I am not sure if the app was backed up as well. I know where the back ups are store in my computer. I dont know much about Itunes, can someone help please?
Thanks,
Strupar

If you have the older version in your recycle bin, or one of your backups, delete the current version of the .ipa file, then paste in a copy of the old one. In iTunes go to the apps section of your library and attempt to Get Info for the app in question. Normally the two versions will have slightly different file names so iTunes may ask you to locate the file, do so. On your device delete the copy of the app, then sync with iTunes. You'll need to disable all forms of automatic updating, and will lose any settings and data associated with the app.
Hmm, offhand I can't recall if automatic updating in iOS 7 is optional. Check that first.

Thank you.
Karan

Hi Karan,
Based on my knowledge, Backup Exec offers 2 ways to restore Exchange data.
1. Using Mailbox database restore.
2. Restore individual mailbox or mail items from the backup set.
Besides, I'm not familiar with the third-party software Backup Exec. I recommend you ask more assistance about Symantec Backup Exec from Backup Exec vendor.
What's more, we can use DPM to restore individual mailbox.
Here is an article for your reference.

How to restore a previous version of lightroom database

I messed up and mistakenly removed an image from lightroom ... is there any way to recover that version of the image that was in the lightroom database via a restore process? I've been backing up the database each time I start the program. Thanks.

If you have now found the mislocated database file the simplest method would be to copy and paste it into the location that you really want it. Once in the new location, double click it and LR will open up (as if by magic) or, alternatively, start up LR and point it to this database location. The image that you then accidently removed from LR should show up in Red in the left hand panel and in addition a thumbnail image of your image will appear in the main window with a question mark in the top right hand corner. Click on this question mark and point LR in the direction of where the image is located. All then will be fine and your image will still have any previous edits applied that were contained in the database. The 'preview' file that you found and mentioned in your post contains as you might have guessed - the image previews. This file can be deleted at any time and LR will rebuild it as and when required.
To prevent this happening in the future, select carefully where you want the database backed up to and LR will then always backup to this location unless you change it - which is what I suspect you may have done accidently last time around, hence database backups in two different places.

How to restore an unpublished version of my site to iweb using time machine

I can't find earlier versions of my unpublished site on time machine. If I try to restore iweb, it wants to restore the application, not the data.

what you need to restore is username/library/application support/iweb/domain.
That is the actual site file.

How to restore bookmarks prior to crash

Mazilla crashed yesterday. The bookmarks are no there. When I try to restore, the only dates available are 9/21 and 9/22. I need the back up from 9/20, or earlier

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

There would normally 10 JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder.<br />
If you have less then check that Firefox didn't create a new profile at some time.

How to restore previous (working) versions of apps?

I recently discovered that at least two of my apps (Bria and Kindle) on my original iPhone don't work, both because I let the phone upgrade to new versions which don't work on my phone.
Since I removed iTunes (because it's a absurdly abusive system hog on my Windows PC), I don't have any backups.
My understanding now is that I'm just plain screwed: there is no way to load earlier versions of these apps.
I understand that NEW apps are designed for newer iPhones, and even that developers might choose to limit new versions of their apps to newer iPhones, but why would the AppStore be set up to automatically urge an upgrade to a version that DOES NOT WORK on my iPhone?
Apparently it's time to look for an Android phone.
Hey, look: I can't even select "iPhone" from the list of products, only 3 and 4 models. That certainly makes things clear: Apple won't even let users of older products participate in the support community.

" but why would the AppStore be set up to automatically urge an upgrade to a version that DOES NOT WORK on my iPhone?"
It does not "urge" you at all.
You have to go to the apps and select to see the updates, then you have to select to do the updates and for which apps and you have to confirm. This is hardly pushed on you.

How to restore iTunes library from TimeMachine external hard drive backup after clean install

I was not able to solve this problem, hence I decided to open this discussion.
1. Recently, I clean installed Yosemite so my new Mac is completely empty.
2. I have my time machine backup on my eternal hard drive and would like to restore only specific things - such as iTunes library.
3. I did not manually copy iTunes library to my drive, I did the TM backup only, but I also do have all the files in my own "music" folder I manually backed-up.
However, I cannot locate the library there, where is it?
How do I move the library to my new Mac and then establish a new source folder that would be on my drive?
PS: Previously, iTunes used my own music folder as a source = it contained all the music files. I had it on an external drive, later moved it to my Mac.
This leads me to the conclusion that my backup copy of iTunes library did not contain the files anyway.
Any advice?
Thank you in advance.

I am confused as to what you had or have where and when. The bottom line is, your library (for the standard user) is everything in the iTunes folder. As far as iTunes' organization and display is concerned, your library is a file called "iTunes Library.itl" which points to all the other host of files and folders normally in the iTunes folder which all work together.

Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7392 and making an iTunes library portable.
If you kept everything together in one place then you need to put the whole iTunes folder on the drive where you want it, start iTunes while holding down the option key and guide it to that .itl file. If things were split up and you had media on the external and the rest of the library on the internal you need to get them back to exactly where they were before. If you can't find that iTunes folder holding the critical .itl file anywhere then you have a bunch of media tracks and no organization and will need to rebuild the organization from ground level.

How to restore a deleted iCloud note from time machine backup?

The short of it... one of my kids decided they didn't need certain notes, therefore deleted them!!!!
(my fault i did not have notes/synced/off on new device!),
but they are important and iCloud is synced across all devices and those notes are gone.
Wasn't sure if a device/ restore from back up would work - didn't.
Tried some of the Apple Communities/ going to lib/ turn off wifi/ move the 3 files to desktop/ move back to lib file, nothing.
Could I get some 'really specific' step by steps? seems others have had success, and maybe i'm in TM when I should be on my Mac or vice versa?! or in the wrong library?
My TM backups just does not let me get anywhere to restore those deleted notes.
Any help would be wonderful!
Thanks
Thinking Apple should have given us an iCloud safety net or at least allow TM/ iCloud to be userfriendly.

I used this to restore my deleted notes from Time Machine, hope this helps others
closed Notes,
turned WiFi off,
entered finder/go+option/ to 'get to library': /Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/
entered TM and selected the 3 files/ hit restore/ keep both (just to make sure, then I deleted the newer file, not the 'restored' file when this worked out)
opened notes and my deleted notes were back so I copied my notes into pages as a backup,
turned on WiFi and the notes disappeared!
replaced my restored notes by copy/pasting my backups into notes/iCloud....
notes/mac would not show across iCloud.... don't remeber this being an issue prior to Mavericks when 'all' notes were selected?
Apple needs to hear from us so they can fix glitches like this. TM was created for instances like this, hopefully this is just an oversite. Pass this along to Apple Feedback/iCloud/bug. If enough of us flag such issues, hopfully it's addressed on the next update.
Dear Apple, this should be much easier than it is. We should be able to open Notes, go into Time Machine, and restore anything regardless if it's on my Mac or on the cloud.

How to restore the second volume from a time machine backup?

Hi guys and gals,
I have a October 2011 MBP running OSX lion (10.7.2), with 2 internal drives (the main drive is a 120gb SSD, the optic drive has been replaced with the original 750gb HDD that came in the computer). I use the SSD for all of my system files, with the HDD being used for my user account, which has my photo and video libraries on them.
I use time machine to backup onto a 2tb external drive. In the beggining i was not sure how time machine would handle backing up two volumes, but after doing the first few backups then checking inside the time machine folder on the EHDD I was pleased to find that it was in fact backing up both volumes.
Now we get to the problem I have. This morning I booted up my MBP, and it took a lot longer than it usually does, then when it finally booted it had a error saying that the user "chris" could not be found. My 750gb drive was not being seen from OSX. I ran disk utility and it was visible, but was not able to be mounted as it had an error. I did the verify permissions which came up OK, then did repair disk and it said that the disk had errors and to backup, format and re-install. As the last backup was done 2 days ago and I haven't done any important work on it since then, i didn't backup as I would prefer to restore to a point before the issue happened.
I formatted the drive and started a time machine restore, but TM will only allow me to restore the SSD. I cannot see anything anywhere that will allow me to restore the 750gb drive. If i use migration assistant to transfer the files over from the EHDD to the 750gb drive, it won't recognise my EHDD (even though i am looking at it on the desktop and can open it and open files on it). If i try to transfer the files with finder, it says that i dont have permission to do this.
I have spent the last hour looking for a possible solution or ways of doing what i need, but keep coming up blank.
Hope someone out there can help me
Cheers
-Chris

That sounds like some sort of directory problem. Try Repairing the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
I tried importing individual folders to reduce the number of files it was transferring in one hit and it doesn't hang. THe problem is after doing my users folder my desktop has changed and there are a lot of things that are not how they should be.
I'm not sure what you mean.
Are you trying to restore to your user home folder while it's in use? That could be part of the problem, but usually you'll get a message about things being in use, locked, or protected.
are there hidden files in the users folder that i am not seeing?
Probably, but if you restore a folder, any hidden files should be restored, too. Mostly they're the .DS_Store files where the Finder stores the last position, size, etc., where it displayed the folder, so no big deal even if it's lost.
There are a few others at the top level of your home folder, but I think they'll be recreated as necessary.
If i transfer the whole users folder will they transfer over (even though i cannot see them)?? Is there a way to transfer those hidden files??
Why do you think there are hidden files that are causing a problem?

How to restore iTunes Library from a recent time machine backup

I have to make room on my internal HD on my iMac. The HD is a 1TB and I have 391GB of music and video etc that are in my iTunes Library. So I decided to move it to a new 5TB external HD which I formatted with 2 partitions. One partition 2.5TB will be my new Time Machine Backups and the other 2.5TB for iTunes Library so I never have to worry about this again. Using the knowledge I gained (?) from a YouTube video I copied my iTunes folder over to the new partition on the new HD. However, there was no library .itl file. So I found an old one but found I am missing playlists and content from iTunes. So I was thinking maybe the easiest way was to do an iTunes restore from Time Machine.
I am hoping that someone can guide me through this as I have already botched things up and want to do it properly this time.
Thanks

One partition 2.5TB will be my new Time Machine Backups and the other 2.5TB for iTunes Library so I never have to worry about this again.
Your worry now is what will you do when the single hard drive containing both your library and its backup makes a screeching sound one day and is toast, or get stolen?
from a YouTube video
Uh-oh, those unspecific and sometimes incorrect YouTube videos. I dislike those things. I watched one once and some kid droned on in a barely audible monotone for about 5 minutes to show how to do something to which I could have typed instructions in two sentences.

How to restore all Logic files from a Time Machine backup

Hello-
I recently had to clear all of the memory on my laptop, in order to free up some room. It was running very slow, and I had far too much clutter on there. I have a MacBook, and back everything up on Time Capsule, so I've spent the past couple of days individually retrieving all of the files that I want on my computer. I naively thought that I could click on the Logic Pro application from a previous backup, but failed to realize that I have to find the drivers and other components that make up the software. Where can I locate all of these files, and how would you recommend going about restoring all of my projects, drivers, etc.? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Smart mailboxes are not a storage location, they are just a kind of saved search. There's not really anything to restore if you can't restore the messages.
As to your difficulty restoring mail, see the [Time Machine FAQ|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964018] and [Time Machine Troubleshooting|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2057525] guides. Also, try posting on the TM forums for better help.
