Are you sure the HotSync didn't create a new user? Open the pull-down menu for "User" in Palm Desktop and see if another is listed that has all your data.
DO NOT perform another HotSync! If there is only one user, you will need to do some renaming of data files. Close Palm Desktop on your PC.
Look for either "datebook.dat" or "calendar.dat" in your Palm Desktop folder on the PC and see which has data in it. Rename the file with an .old extension (i.e. datebook.dat turns into datebook.OLD) Now look for the same file with a .BAK extension that contains more than 2k of data. Rename that file to datebook.dat. (If using the datebook name).
Open Palm Desktop and cross your fingers!

Using a Palm m505, lost data

I just did a hotsynch and all the data in my date book was gone from both my hand held and my pc.Everything else is fine. the error message said that the computer may be full. How do I fix this?

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 Profile - LOST CONTACTS

I've already read one post on this topic but am wondering if anyone else has had any RECENT problems relating to this.
I recently got my third Palm Pre from Sprint Replacement (the other two had to be returned due to stupid AND common problems, powering down when I close or open the phone and battery not keeping a charge). After activating my phone and logging into my Palm Profile, only TWO (both Sprint help numbers) of my contacts from my Palm Profile transferred over to my new Pre. I've read an older (June) post on someone having an issue with this, is there anyone out there recently that has?
I've called Sprint about this problem and they transferred me to Palm. I've gone through round one with Palm help (saying I needed to update my phone to the most current WebOS, which I did--still no contacts). I'll be going through round two today once the help line opens up for the day.
I also should note that I got me second Palm Pre earlier in the week (Tuesday) and had NO problems with my Palm Profile keeping my contacts onto that phone. That was just 3 days ago. AND I had to reset my first Pre and logged into my Palm Profile on that and had no problems with my contacts.
Is the problem when people are on their 3rd/4th/5th Pre and logging into their profile?
Any help would be appreciated. And any idea how long of calling until I finally get my contacts back??
Thanks

It seems that I have hade a new profile created by Palm because I could not remember the original password when logging in. now I have all music and pics. but no contacts or events how can I get these back ???? Please help:smileysad:
Did you use google as your default the last time or Palm profile as the phone came when you bought it? If it was google, simply input your username and password for email, contact, calendar and everything on your google account should reflect on your Pre. If it was Palm profile before you lost data, I don;t think you will get it back. I am sorry to say this. You can try loggin in with a password you forgot, but I don't see a point for that.
Good luck.

Lost data on my Mac after it got reset but my iPhone is still synced to the old version of my Mac?

So, during an awful visit to the Apple store in which the "genius" completely reset my Macbook Pro (10.8.5) because it decided to go "turtle mode" for no reason whatsoever, I lost all my data and files on it. After putting whatever I had backed up back on the Macbook, I put some new things on my iTunes and tried syncing the Mac's iTunes and my iPhone 5 ios7's iTunes. However my iPhone was synced to the older version of my Mac before it crashed and got wiped out. I got this message:
The iPhone “___” is synced with another iTunes library on “___”. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
Is there any way I can get my lost data back onto my laptop with my iPhone? Or if there isn't and I sync the new version of my Mac with the iPhone, will my iPhone lose any data to match my Mac?
thanks

i think the easiest is to chroot into your installation, and then do a pacman -S kernel26

My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes. I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need. It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

If all your files are missing
You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.

I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6. That's the latest version.
Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them. And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore. Sorry about this.

How do I transfer my lost data from ICloud back to my mini IPad

DId you find a solution?

I upgraded to the new IOS, but lost data and apps. When I try and restore the only backup I see is the one made AFTER the lost data. How can I access an older backup from the cloud?

Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.

Restoring the lost data.

Hi All,
We have two Planning Applications created in EPMA architecture.
Accidentally user has deleted the critical forecast data from one of the application by running the Business rule which deletes the data. The data which got delete was critical one and now user need to restore it back.
We do have latest windows file system back up taken on both Physical Hyperion Application & Essbase Servers therefore we can restore the necessary files from backup in order to restore the lost data with the help of our Storage team who handles the back ups.
Could you please advice on how do we go ahead for restoring the lost data from backed up files and which files we may need to restore from the back up.
This is an extremely urgent & critical issue we are facing hence your valuable advice is much needed as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance !

I have tried this Maxl couple of times in case of Invalid Block Header issues. Doesn't seem to resolve for me.
If it is a case of invalid block header :
How to restore a database:
1. Stop the application/database and delete the dbname.ind file.
2. Clear non input level data using Hyperion Application Manager, DATABASE -> CLEAR DATA -> NON-INPUT BLOCKS. Then perform a full calculation of the database either using CALC ALL or if required, specific calc scripts. This may not work however as it depends on where the IBH lies in the data. If this still returns the error during the calculation then proceed to step 3.
3. Stop the application and delete the following files from your database.
This removes all the data from the database.
<dbname>.ind
ess000#.ind
ess000#.pag
<dbname>.tct
<dbname>.esm
To get the data back:
a. Do a full calc from your database from an input level export
or
b. Restore from an existing backup. If this backup does contain an IBH, then keep restoring previous backups and checking.
Hope this helps!

Sql server data base retored to an earlier date (lost data)

halo,
I have found that someone or something restored my mssql database to an earlier date and lost a lot of data as a result
I have no back up for the lost data.
is there a way to roll back database server so I can recover the lost data?
I will be grateful for any suggestion you give me
thank you...

If backup was restored with REPLACE option or Overwrite option(in GUI) you as such cannot rollback the restore process.
Do you have any backup which is taken after you made changes to your data, or any backup which would include the data you want. If you have you can restore from that backup otherwise there is no solution.
Is this database mirrored/Logshipped/ replicated anywhere ?

Is there a way to retrieve lost data

I tried spotlight and it seems some of my iMovie files are gone. I don't have a backup. This was a result of a computer crash. Is there any third party software that I could use?

leroystreet
1. To recover lost data try using File Salvage
2. Are you sure the Spotlight index wasn't damaged in the crash? Try re-indexing: In the Spotlight PreferencePane, drag the HD to the Privacy Pane, leave it there for a few moments, then drag it out again. Allow it time to re-index.

Lost data in Aperture - NOT recoverable through Time Machine!

I recently accidentally deleted photos in Aperture. Unfortunately, even though I backup regularly with Time Machine, I have come to find that Photos in Aperture libraries are non-recoverable.
Can anyone please help? Apple has no help topics for lost data.
Thanks in advance!

The photos in the library are recoverable. But you will likely have to restore the library and then navigate through the library to get the photos. You can get to them by right clicking the library and choosing "Show Package Contents" and then navigating the the project and again right clicking to do "show package contents" and then access the RAW files. It will be a bit tedious.
It's a lot easier if you're using referenced masters.
