Palm Desktop datebook data file

I've been a Palm user for 13 years.
A year ago, my trusty Z-22's battery died. So I bought a M500 online from one of Amazon's 3rd party vendors. It worked adequately, but with a number of glitches that I learned to live with. By July or so of this year, I noticed appointments randomly disappearing from my desktop Palm app. No rhyme or reason, past, future, etc. I kept many data backups and just kept putting those files back into the desktop.
Then Oct 1st, everything on the calendar disappeared. 13+ years of data, gone. Fearing it was the funky M500 (fortunately I did not sync after the data loss, so had the entire calendar on the handheld), I bought a refurbished Z-22 from an Amazon 3P. Uninstalled desktop software (saved all data files), downloaded the latest Palm desktop software I could find (v. 6.2.2), loaded all data files, back in business. Everything worked like a charm. For one month (I sync several times a day).
Nov 1st, entire calendar gone. So I looked a little closer. MS Office Access apparently installed a .dat file in the datebook folder with 108kb worth oaf data (the legitimate datebook.dat file is 1,308kb). Everytime I open Palm Desktop, that's the file that's altered. Erase it, it reappears everytime I re-open Palm DT,
I don't use MS Office Access, so I removed it. Open Palm DT, now a new 1kb UiPrefs.dat is created, even if I open DT by double clicking the real datebook.dat file. HELP! I must note that throughout this whole ordeal, the address book, memo, todo list were totally unaffected.

Thank you!

I haven't been able to hot sync with my handheld since I upgraded to Vista, so there is no backup on the handheld of any data. Grrrrrrr! I don't believe it. I thought I'd read posts about other people backing up their data.
Is there any "cheaters method" to create a backup copy by changing where the data file is saved, then changing it back, or something similar, so there are always two copies? I don't want this happening again, and I won't be able to upgrade my handheld for several months still.

Palm Desktop Datebook Info Vanished -- Memo, Contacts, etc. Okay

Palm Desktop version 6.2.2. Windows XP 64-bit.
Something happned overnight with my laptop -- maybe low battery, because in the morning it had logged me out and shut down my open windows from the previous night. When I opened Palm Desktop, my date book data was gone. The contacts, memos, etc. are there.
My handheld doesn't sync with this version of Palm Desktop, so I can't use it to restore my data. Where can I find the datebook file, what's it called, and how can I open it, or where is the backup of the data file, what's it called and how can I open it?
Thanks for your advice.

Can't open palm desktop user data

I just upgraded from a Palm m515 to a Tungsten T3. I followed the directions for this on the Palm website.
To make a long story short, I have a copy of my data on the tungsten, and a copy on the m515 - but nothing I can access on the desktop! I have several backups, under several user names, at this point. I have desktop v. 4.3.1 rev.D installed (after many uninstalls and installs). I can open the desktop application to an empty file, but when I try to switch to a user with my data in it, the application hangs and I have to force quit.
I created a new user in the palm desktop, called "New" and did a hotsync with the tungsten. Now "New" won't open in the desktop, either.
I'm aware of the change in conduit names from Datebook to Calendar, Addresses to Contacts, etc, and from another thread learned that I should put the old conduits in a disabled conduits folder, so I did that. So I guess that means I can't use the m515 as the data source...
I really don't know what to do to get my palm desktop application - with data - back. I can't use iCal and Address book exclusively because I need the memo pad with categories. I have a current copy of all my palm addresses in the Apple address book, and a three week old copy of the calendar in iCal (so I'd like not to have to use that version of the calendar data.)
I really hope someone can give me step-by-step instructions that tell me what to do to get out of this fix. It doesn't seem like it should be this hard!
Powerbook G4 17 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Both the old and new conduits can coexist in the active Conduits folder. This is an exception to the general rule that no two conduits can synchronize the same data type simultaneously. So, you should return the original four—the Datebook Conduit for calendaring data, the Address Conduit for contact data, the Memo Conduit and the ToDo Conduit for task data—to your active folder. The HotSync Manager will properly choose to use the appropriate set for each device.
You can simultaneously synchronize both your m515 and your Tungsten T3, but they must have different HotSync names. To move the data from your m515, use the Palm conduits set to Handheld overwrites Macintosh to move a copy of all of your data from the m515 to the Palm Desktop. Then export a copy of each of the four data types using the Palm Desktop format.
Create a new empty user with a unique HotSync name for the Tungsten T3, and import each of the files into that user. Set your conduits to Macintosh overwrites Handheld, and synchronize only your Tungsten. That will move a copy of all of the m515 data stored in the Palm Desktop during your import, on the Tungsten handheld organizer.
At that point, you can reset your conduits to Synchronize, and continue to synchronize both devices, or you can move from the Palm Desktop to iCal and the Address Book, using either iSync, or the Missing Sync for Palm OS to synchronize one or both devices.

Exporting Palm Desktop datebook to .dba archive

I have datebook data from 2003-present on my Palm Desktop v6.2. I would like to archive everything before 1/1/14 by exporting the data into a *.dba archive, and then delete that data from Palm Desktop. The export dialogue says I can choose to archive items I have selected, but does not tell how to select them. I wish to select a date range -- specifically, 1/1/03-12/31/13. Anybody know how to do that?
This question was solved.

Palm Desktop Software Data Transfer

I have an iMac OS which is 5 years old. This year I'm going to be buying the most recent iMac Desktop.
The only Palm software I make use of is my "desktop software" which I use as an all around replacement for the old day runners. For instance, I use it's menu to put all my names & addresses in, keep a list of things to do there, under "memos" I have made categories in chronological order such as "computer stuff"; "legal", "medical" and there are about 25 categories there under which I write down important information that I refer to if I must. And, of course I use it as a calendar such that when I make an appointment, it all goes on my current desktop software which I believe is 4.0.
When I asked the Apple salesperson if I could transfer all the data I had from this computer to my new computer, he was not sure that would work as it may not even be compatible anymore with the newer computers. I rely on this information so much that I would not want to lose it. IF there is no way to transfer all the info I have in my Palm Desktop ... the only thing I thought I could do is write the info down, and re-enter it into some new application that is compatible. Is there any application that I could use instead of Palm if I can't. I'd rather just transfer what I have, and I don't want to lose the data when transferred. I hope this makes sense.
I would want to transfer everything that I had on this computer to the new one if possible. Please advise. How do I keep my data intact?
Thanks

Palm Desktop Hotsync Audio files

Is there any tools(like 3rd party program) to hotsync audio files(mp3 etc) from PC to Palm TX, like 'Media' under 'Palm Desktop'? Or it is not possible at all unlike the image or video files.
I know the audio files can be installed with 'Quick Install', but I want to synchronize the files with my PC.
I have the audio files in my PC under the various folders by artists/genders etc and want to keep the file structure same as in my TX. I can use Hotsync to add(= import) the folders of the image or video files easily so I don't need to re-categorise the files in the TX again. Therefore if I could hotsync audio files, it can save time and will be easier to manage the files(such as creating the playlists).
Thanks.

Ptunes on your TX can sync to Windows media player on your computer. (limited file support.)

Centro hotsync palm desktop strange dates

When I synched my centro a couple weeks ago, it started putting certain events 3 hours different on my palm desktop, and they all had this global or international type icon. My phone is the same (correct times) and continues to keep the appointments as always, but I am concerned because it seems strange and second, when carbonite backs up my palm info, it does it from the computer, not my phone. Do you have any idea what is causing this?
I use Vista

my centro says 1.08-SPNT

OK, it seems as if this is not an issue anybody is familiar with. Has anyone seen the "international" or world icon?

What are the file storage names for Palm Desktop 4.1.4? My data appears to be lost

Hi,
I am using Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and have the Application loaded on a Flash Drive. This was done long ago and maps to the E:.
I am on Windows XP SP2. I usually insert my flash into a USB port on my PC and start a shortcut which points to and starts the desktop off of the E: drive.
I decided i wanted to also place the dekstop on my C: drive and started the install from the Flash drive. In my rush and stupidity, i did not correctly tell it to install to the C: and it ended up reinstall to the E:     So when i bring up the desktop, all is gone !
I have looked and search in every way i can think of looking for files from .DAT, to .PDB, .PRC, etc etc. If i take older version i find of many of these files and place them in the E: root directory in which the desktop OPTIONS Menu says the data is stored, nothing changes.
The OPTIONS menu under TOOLS in desktop states data files go to E:
The application is installed under E:\PalmDesktop
The .EXE, .DLL, files are under E:\PalmDesktop   as well as under E:\
When the reinstall of the desktop occurred other folders that were under E:\PalmDesktop such as Components, Helpnote, Update etc and well as one with my name Brian don't appear to have been touched.
I am not sure if my data is lost forever or not.   Can someone provide me with the exact file names that data in the desktop such as "Contacts" is stored in so i can try to find them. I must admit i have never had such a difficult time finding the data files for other products as i have with this one, but then again maybe thats a good thing.
Thanks in advance for anyones help - Brian
Post relates to: Tungsten C

check in your flash drive Palmone>username
The username that you've been using is Brian? if you see that folder open it and look for folders address (contacts) datebook (calendar) todo (tasks) memo pad (memo)
then check if you have address.bak or adress.dat for contacts, datebook.bak for calendar if you see those try importing them to your palm desktop.

Palm Desktop seems to back up only select data from Treo 650

I recently transferred my Palm Desktop program and backup files from my old XP PC to my new PC running Windows 7 (64bit). Aside from the frustrations of being unable to HotSync using USB, I was more concerned that that address & calendar files in my user folder were nearly empty.   My calendar contained 14 random events from within the last month and the address book contained three contacts (my Treo contains hundreds). Each folder should have contained considerably more data. I went back to the original user folder on my old PC and the saved data was no different. Although hundreds of events & contacts appear on my Treo and in the Palm Desktop, my user file has less than 1MB of data in those respective folders.
Can I conclude that my monthly HotSyncs have been faulty all of this time? Or am I looking in the wrong place for my complete data. Until I find a workaround the Windows 7 problem, I want to make sure all my data is at least present on the hard-drive (even though I can't HotSync).
FYI, this is where I found my skimpy data:   C:/Palm OS Desktop/(username)/address   and   C:/Palm OS Desktop/(username)/datebook     .   The Palm Desktop is Version 6.2.2
Thank you!
Post relates to: Treo 650 (Sprint)

An update to the above issue:   All of the datebook & address data IS present within the *.aba files within my user folder when opened via Microsoft Access. However, when I import those files into Palm Desktop, only a small handful of events (28 out 5000+) and addresses (3 out 1000+) appear.

Restore Palm Desktop Addresses from last Hot Sync and using those backup files

I have numerous issues. First I have Windows Vista 64 byte which does not allow a USB Hot Sync so I attempted the Wireless Hot Sync and killed my Palm Centro. The information was restores going to the store and they did something. So that is my first issues - I am unable to Hot Sync. However the Hot Sync took place and I have found the 'Back-up' files on my Computer from that Hot Sync Operation.
My new issue is that somehow I lost many addresses on my Palm Desktop Address File and that is a mystery to me.
What I am trying to accomplish now is to restore those missing addresses on my Palm Desktop (Computer Files) using if possible those backed up files from the last Hot Sync as i do not believe I should try the Wireless Hot Sync again since that has failed me twice and my phone dies and it needs to be restored at the Sprint store. I'm not even sure I remember now how exactly that was done....
So, is there a way to restore addresses to my computer Palm Desktop from those back-up files from the Hot Sync? OR does anyone have a solution to actually performing this Wireless Hot Sync without killing my Palm Centro again?
Thank you for any ideas or suggestions to either or both issues.

You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. Using 6.2 the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak. For 6.2, the files are located in the username folder in PalmOSdesktop in my documents.
The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.

The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.

Palm Desktop Application (for Mac) crashes when I try to export Datebook module in vCal format

I'm trying to get my Palm OS Datebook data into iCal. When I attempt the export from Palm Desktop in vCal format, the process appears to start; as it nears the end, the entire Desktop application crashes. The file to which I'm allegedly saving the exported info contains no data.
The exact same thing has happened using both Mac OSX 10.4 and 10.5 on two different Macs. I already uninstalled and re-installed the latest version of Desktop software, so that's not the problem.
Any ideas about how to get my Palm Datebook info into iCal, even if it requires a third party application?

I didn't know it was possible to sync the Treo to iCal and/or Address Book. Can you tell me how? I'd be happy to switch sync software if I knew what to switch to.

Thank you, aeisha_anis for the steps to correct this problem. I verified that I must have corrupted calendar data as the PALM Desktop does come up and work when I follow your first 4 steps and remove the data from it. I can't, however, get through the importing step at the end of your instructions. I've tried a few times and am afraid I may have messed up the data file as it now is only showing a datebook. mdb and a datebook.bak file under the DateBook folder I copied to my desktop, but no datebook.dab folder as it was showing before and I never did find the datebook.dat file you mentioned. I still have all of my current calendar data on my Palm Centro but I can't get it to sync with the Palm Desktop without getting the "Palm Desktop by ACCESS Application has stopped working" message. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks much!

Palm desktop 4.2 calendar items gone.

Hi. I'm really hoping someone can help me. I have the Palm Destop 4.2 software and Windows XP Home on my machine. I haven't synched in literally years - I don't use the device any more, but I still use the software for my calendaring and datebook. All my non-recurring appointments on the calendar have vanished. This has happened 2-3 times before, but the most recent is this morning. I did a backup of my HDD last night, but it seems that the calendar had already gone crazy before then, as the date/time stamp on the backed up file is the same as the one on the file that has lost everything. The address book is just fine.
Is it possible that I've hidden the non-recurring appointments somehow? It does show categories: all The file size for the datebook is pretty big - 3963K, and there are only 3-4 recurring appointments a week, so it seems to me that the stuff should be in there, but I can't find it. I have gone to Toos-Options-Tools and tried reapiring corrupted database, but it came back saying there was no corruption.
I appreciate any help you can give me.

Did you look at the files in the username folder and are those the files you are talking about? There should be a .dat file in the datebook folder in the username folder. Look at the properties of the file and check the date on that file.
If you don't sync the handheld, then you run the risk of losing data unless you export the data from Palm desktop. We have seen that if you leave Palm desktop open and the PC does a Windows update it can cause data loss. I would suggest expoeting the data and saving on a flash drive, external hard drive or CD-RW. Since you don't sync you only have 1 data file and if that file gets corrupted, then you are out of luck in recovering the data. This may be your situation at this point.
Here is an explanation of the sync process and the file rotation when you sync.

The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate 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://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
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.

First thing is first that text size is really small and I have horrible eyes.
Ok next is the troubleshooting, what we are going to need to do is figuring what is causing the palm desktop to crash, I bet it is your data, so lets see if I am right.
You first need to locate your userfolder, it is located in program files/palm/username/
Once you have your user folder in that folder you will see a bunch of folders, I'm first concerned with datebook. Go in datebook and look for the datebook.dat file, cut that file out of that folder and place in the root of your userfolder.
Going back into palm desktop (if it opens without error) you will see your calendar is gone.
Next you need to tell palm desktop to open in something other than address or calendar I usually suggest memos. To do this you can go to tools/options and change the view palm desktop opens in (default is address).
Once you have it changed to memos you need to put your calendar back into palm desktop. So close palm desktop and go back to your userfolder. Grab the datebook.dat file off of the root of your username and place it back in the datebook folder (it will ask you if you want to overwrite the existing files, tell it yes)
Ok so your calendar is back in your username time to go back to palm desktop, relaunch palm desktop and this time go to tools/options/tools and and check for corrupted records, it will scan your database and fix any corrupted records it finds, tab over to calendar and see if it crashes if it doesn't you are good to go.
Also on a side note if it still crashes with your datebook out of your username, move your addressbook out also, usually the culrpit is calendar but i have seen contacts cause the problem also and on rare occurances both.
Post back if you need more information or any clarification.
