Palm z22 restoring portion of lost calendar items

Hello, I'm new here. I have palm z22 (v 4.5.2P) & I back up fairly regularly on my PC. Learning from previous disasters, now when I back up, on my PC I "rename" my datebook (calendar) file from datebook.bak to datebook 02-03-10.bak (or whatever the current date is). This allows me to save many backups so that if I get corrupt files on my handheld & do a sync, it won't overwrite my good backup file with a corrupt one. The question I have is that the calendar (datebook) on my handheld is good for the last year or so, as well as in the future, but I recently discovered that everything has disappeared that was over a year (or so) old (except the recurring events). I found my old datebook backup file from then, but I don't know how to restore to the calendar (datebook) on my handheld only the old items, without deleting the current and future items on my handheld. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob

First we need to create a new username in Palm Desktop. I would suggest calling it test. Then close Palm Desktop, and find the username in the C drive(Should be near your username). Then delete all the files in the datebook folder. Then delete all the files in the datebook folder. Copy the datebook.bak file you need to the test username datebook folder. Rename the datebook.bak file to datebook.dat.
Open Palm Desktop to see if your older data is in the Calendar. If it is then export it out by using file and export. Then move to your other username and then using import import the calendar you just exported in and you should be all set. Sync the data with desktop overwrites handheld and you should be done.
Post back if you have any more questions.

My Palm Z22 will not type in calendar or contact mode.

My Palm readily typed and deleted until I downloaded an update of Nevada Casino for Palm from Standalone.com. I initially purchased the programming disc at Standalone.com. I played it for a few days until the bank roll ran out. It stopped playing because there was no way to reset the bank roll. At Standalone.com, I was instructed to download an update to correct the problem that was inherent in the program. I downloaded several times because I still could not reset the bank roll. After receiving several instruction emails from Standalone.com this week, I was able to reset the bankroll through Hold'Em Poker, which was also on the disc. For a while I was able to play the games.
I also downloaded some solitaire games from Standalone.com. I was able to play them for a few days. Last night I had some problems tapping cards with Pyramid. The tapped cards would not disappear.
I discovered a new problem today. I can no longer type or delete anything in the Calendar and Contacts modes. I am at a loss as to how to correct the problem. I rely on my calendar and contacts lists every day. I also just discovered that when I tap on the screen to play any of casino games, nothing is happening. PLEASE HELP!!!

If you have all your information backed up via HotSync to your computer, you can try a Hard Reset - since your problems seemed to start with the download of that game, it could be the source of the problem!
After you do the Hard Reset, DO NOT Hotsync right away, but test to see if your screen is working correctly. If it is OK, then the problem is software-related and still on your computer in the /Backup directory for your Palm information.
Rename the /Backup directory to /BackupOLD then do a Hotsync and choose your original Hotsync name. All your PIM data will return, but not the problems.

I switched my mac over to icloud and lost calendar items. how do I get them back?

I recently moved my Mac over to icloud. I lost some original calendar entries. Why? Can I get them back?

I am having the same problem as well. I think that it is related to the mobile ME or .Mac account. All of my calendar entries were in .Mac calendar and they didn't transition to iCloud. I would assume that mine are still in Time Machine, but I don't know how to move them over to iCloud. Any suggestions?

Why is it so hard to Return a Palm Z22.

I tried to return a dead palm Z22 that never worked right. They tell me that I didn't purchase this item on Jan 25. I purchased it on another date in 2007. That is what happens when you buy stuff at Fry's. You never know if it has been returned. The clown from INDIA who's name is Jack. Yeah right. I have to fax the receipt to 408-935-0340 and then beg to be approved.
Check out Ebay a broken Palm Z22 is a very popular sales item.
I sent a maglite that had batteries swell back to maglite and received a new one in two weeks. That is service and I bought two more maglites.
The call this number in INDIA crap has to end. Support your product. Palm stock in sinking like a rock. I think that I will just buy a blackberry and be done with this crap.
I am going to sue palm for the $99 this thing cost me. See you in Small Claims Court.

I would like to get some information on the quality problem. I think that with the problems that Palm is having they should be working on getting to support customers. The Z22 seems to be really problematic. The screen didn't really have a palm like touch. They are made in China and seem to really have a cheap feel. What do you think?
Post relates to: Zire
The Z22 an "entry-level" model. Aka, "bottom of the line". If you want a device with a better "feel", then you get what you pay for...
There are lots of users with no problems at all. You admit you purchased a possibly "returned" device from a reseller that may have been damaged.
Unfortunately, the question is pretty moot now since the entire PDA line is being discontinued in favor of a New OS and phones. The Z22 is history.

Palm Z22-how can I delete previous recurring items in one fell swoop?

Hello, I have a number of daily and weekly reminders in my palm z22 handheld pda (software v 4.5.2P) calendar (datebook) that are useful for the future, but all the the old ones (that I was too busy to delete at the time) are simply bogging down my overall speed and hogging my overall memory. Is there a way I can delete recurring reminders that occur before today's date? Thanks for any help. Bob

Try this: On your handheld or desktop (one, but not both), go to the first date of the recurring item you want to keep, and make a minor change (i.e. set a reminder time, or delete the reminder time, or add a period to the subject, etc), selecting "this and future" for what you want the change to refer to. Synch, then go to one of the older items that you want to delete, and delete "all" of those items. The one you changed should still remain on your calendar, and then you can fix that minor change that you made to keep it. This works for me (Tungsten E2), so I hope it also works for you.

One hour time difference between Palm and Exchange calendar items

Calendar items on Exchange and Palm are off by one hour.
Exchange server, desktop PC and Palm are all set to PST with the same time. Versamail account on Palm has been deleted and rebuilt.
See screen shots at http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/kPKBDS28rhdVsextLM1PPQ?feat=directlink
What is interesting is the appointments entered in Outlook show up on the Palm one hour early however they show the correct time in (parenthises) so the Palm seems to be somewhat aware of the problem.
This same issue occurs on different Palm T/X 's with different Outlook accounts.
Any suggestions are welcome

How to restore calendar items from Entourage 2008 after upgrade to Lion (10.7.5)?

I held off upgrading to Lion because I had a bunch of old email I wanted to convert first. But now that Apple is no longer offering security updates for Snow Leopard, I decided to take the plunge. Unfortunately, after the Lion upgrade most of my calendar items in Entourage 2008 disappeared (and those that remained appeared in duplicate).
I think I should be able to access an uncorrupted version of my Main Identity folder for Office 2008 … because I have an Automator workflow that creates a daily backup, and that backup should be available through Time Machine. I turned off Time Machine after this calamity so that I wouldn't overwrite my Entourage Backup folder.
I need the July 8 or 9 version of: ~ / Documents / Entourage Backup / Main Identity.
But when I select the Entourage Backup folder and open Time Machine, all the Finder windows behind the current one go dark and I can't move backward toward an earlier date (I've done this with Time Machine turned off and on). This makes me think the Entourage Backup folder has not been getting backed up recently, or perhaps ever. Ugh.
When I check my Time Machine preferences, only the following items are shown as excluded from backups:
So it seems I should be in the clear and able to access Entourage Backup.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong in trying to restore from Time Machine? Or anything else I might be doing wrong?
Many thanks.

When I check my Time Machine preferences, only the following items are shown as excluded from backups:
Not sure how any of this relates to a Time Capsule....one of the hardware products that we support in this forum.....but we will try to help.
Main Identity is located as follows on your Mac:
Macintosh HD > Documents > Microsoft User Data > Office 2008 Identities > Main Indentity
Unfortunately, you have been excluding Microsoft User Data from your backups, so there is nothing to recover or restore.

Palm Z22 Desk Lost Data

I use Vista and Palm Z22. Recently I noticed that some information, strangely not all, that I inputted in Calendar, disappeared after a while. Please advise how to fix this problem as soon as you can.
Thank you.

I'm having the almost exact same problem. My boss was having no updates from repeated HotSyncs. Unfortunately, he asked for my assistance (I'm the "tech guy" but I have NO expereince with Palm). I looked at his Palm Desktop app. and noticed that in the "user" selection it was set to "None." I used the pull down menu to select his user name. ALL of the recently entered information disappeared! I could go back to the "None" slection and it looks like all of the files got updated at the moment I changes the user. Is there any way to get this data back?
The version of Palm Desktop is 4.2.2 running on Mac OS 10.4.11. The device is a Z22.

PALM Z22 HOW TO CREATE CALENDAR EVENTS THEN UPLOAD THEM TO THE PALM Z22

Hello, I would like to know if anyone can advise me on how to create calendar events in say, excel, and then upload them to my Palm Z22. The reason I want to create them in excel is so that I can also update the file information to my cell phone as well.
Thanks for your assistance.....
Tony
Post relates to: Palm Z22

Hello Tony,
If you want to use Excel, then I would suggest that you export your calendar spreadsheet as a comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that data into the Calendar application in Palm Desktop. Then Hotsync your Palm.

My MacPro crashed last week. Can I restore my old necessary calendar events that I lost but saved my data on an external HD?

My MacPro crashed last week The Mac repairman transferred all my data to an external HD before deleting and reconfiguring the MacPro.
Can I restore my old necessary calendar events that I lost but saved to an external HD? Where would I find my old calendar info on the external HD? I've tried search, but nothing revealed. I really need this calendar info for my business. Many thanks for any suggestions / advice.

You can try a file recovery application like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

Calendar items in outlook not making it to Palm Pilot

Last week i downloaded all the necessary updates and conduits so Outlook 2007 woudl talk to my web-based email client (Zimbra). Now when put items in my Zimbra calendar, it will go to Outlook.
I noticed today that when I sync, there are two issues:
1) calendar items that are in outlook are not making it to my calendar on my Tungsten E. Some are making it and then others are not
2) The Hot Sync Manager does not always work--it either freezes both on the Tungsten and on the computer.
Post relates to: Tungsten E

The issue is not fixed. After it finishes syncing, the Hot Sync manager box pops up and tells me "Synchronization generated one or more messages" and asks me to view the log. Below is the log:

Restore lost calendar

How do I restore lost calendar information?

I am missing all the calndars I created just on my MacBook Pro. This happened when I got an iPad Mini and I was trying to sync everything via iCloud. I finally got Contacts figured out, but as I was trying to sync it all, my calendars have disappeared. I can't find a place to enable or disable any calendars from view.

Isync3/Ical no longer working with Palm z22

I'm not sure when it started, but all of a sudden my ical stopped being able to sync with my Palm z22. It always used to give me an error message at sync, but I ignored it because it always transferred over 100% of the information I was using anyway (I only use calendar and address book).
First it stopped syncing my contacts, and then finally it stopped syncing the main parts of my Ical. As far as I can tell it still brings over events but places them in the "undefined" tag at 7am that day, without any notes: totally useless.
I tried everything I could think of last night after googling for four hours and eventually an Isyncing caused a fatal error on my Palm which lost my entire contact list. Which now renders the thing useless until I can restore it. I run a business and work out of it!
The error I'm getting says this (I bolded the part I think is the problem, after multiple searches):

Please help - as I said I run my business out of Ical, address book and the ability to sync with my palm.

Internet searches for hours provided absolutely no help either.
I'm actually really cheesed that no one seems to have paid any attention to this issue.
I ended up having to hard-reset my device (everything is backed up on the computer and I can't sync anything new so it's USELESS to me now), reinstall everything from scratch and try again : now I don't get an error message, but when it comes across the "iscync conduit" message on the hotsync message it lags for a LOOOOONNNNGGGGG time. Several minutes at least. The first few times I reset it thinking it was frozen.
And then at the end of all that nothing transfers anyway!
So, I'm done. I'm selling it to someone else. It's now a useless device to me thanks to whatever changed in Mac recently.

Can you archive old calendar items in Entourage so you don't run out of space on your Blackberry?

Hi everyone,
I have a Sprint Pearl 8130 and I am syncing with PocketMac to Entourage 2004 on an iBook G4 running OS 10.3.
Most of my syncing issues are minor (for some reason, in contacts, work and home email addresses switch fields, but I can live with that) and I don't have too many complaints about PocketMac for now....
My question is - Does anyone know how to archive old calendar items so that my Blackberry doesn't run out of space? I have calendar items going back to the beginning of 2008. I don't need past calendar items on my Blackberry, except for reoccurring items, like birthdays and such, and maybe a month's worth of old appointments just for reference. My Blackberry has run out of space a couple of times and when it deletes the appointments from my Blackberry, syncing wants to either delete from the Mac or restore to the Blackberry. I know you can do this with a Palm and their Palm software, since I used to have one and I was able to archive items older than a week. Then you would be able to access them in a separate archive profile.
I have searched everywhere and the closest thing I can find is to purchase Missing Sync and set to match my sync date range. https://support.markspace.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=327. But that doesn't really solve my issue of running out of space on my Blackberry. The other thing that I could think of is to export the calendar items into a .rge file, then delete the calendar items from there, sync, and have PocketMac remove items from my Blackberry, but it would be a pain to easily access old calendar items.
I appreciate any thoughts, ideas and especially solutions!

I have the exact opposite issue you mentioned
my client wants his archived calender items to be synched to his 8830 world wide ed.
he is running RIM software (DesktopManager) v 6.4
BES 2007
current issue is that his archived old calendars are not synchronizing to his handheld; we tried to force his PC to synch those items manually through cable, which didn't help, since our BES policy force waireless synch policy to the device and wireless synch never can see the archived items files
I think if you can set the option on your device so it turns on the calendar wireless synch, and also make sure MAC does not select archive to synch
Calendar > Options > General settings or /Wireless synch set to ON;
if you running BES set Calendar Wireless synch off
