Restore Data from external hard drive

I just update my Palm TX Desktop software to the new v6.2 and have lost all my calendar entries.  How do I restore the back up from an external hard drive

Carolon,
If your Back up hard drive has a copy of your C drive you should have a Palm Desktop datebook file.
Palm Desktop 4.1.4, Win 7 or later location: C:\Program Files (x86)\palmOne\User Name\datebook
If your Palm Desktop User name is longer than 6 characters it will be Abbreviated.
My datebook DAT file size is 199KB, My datebook BAK file size is 199KB
I have 730 Calendar records.
Using PD 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.
Compare your back up datebook file size to the PC datebook file size.
If the Back up datebook file is larger you may have saved your Calendar entries.
The Back Up DAT or mdb. file can only be opened by the same Version Palm Desktop that created the file.

  • How can I take backup in External HardDrive and then reinstall new OS and then restore data from External Hard Drive

    I have goot some issue with my Macbook i7, I am not able to start my Macboook its keep showing the Grey screen after login.
    I have done something where I have successully taken the OS backup on External Hardrive which was saying computer will start automatically. After this I founded a Fresh new computer but may be that was running on External hard drive.
    I am **** confuse what should I do next?
    Anyhelp wold be great......

    Delete the user account, then use the "Erase Free Space" option in the Erase tab of Disk Utility to write zeroes to the drive. Stick with the "Fastest" method (one pass of zeroes) unless you're hiding secrets from the NSA - anything more stringent is a waste of time.

    There's Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant. The cleanest way to do it is Setup Assistant, but you only get that option once when you fire up a fresh install of OSX. If you're past that, you could reinstall OSX by booting with Command-R, or you could use Migration Assistant.

    Last time when I was in Rio, I took part in the famous Carnival there with my boyfriend and we took a lot of interesting photos there. About one week ago, one of my friends asked me to show her the photos. However, it turned out to be inaccessible and the PC can not read the data on the drive. And the PC suggested me to format the external hard drive for reusing it again.

  • Install data from external hard drive?

    Hi, we have our old macbook data saved on external hard drive (old laptop had water damage but able to retrieve data). I now have new macbook, how do I install data from external hard drive to new macbook? Is it super easy? I didn't want to set up new laptop until I could understand how to install all our old data. Thanks

    Do you have the appropriate cable to connect the external drive to to new Macbook?
    If you do, the rest is easy. Connect the drive and start up the new Mac. The first steps in the setup will be to enter information about yourself, etc. etc. As you proceed you will be asked if you want to bring in data from another place. Just follow the directions, and the Mac Setup Assistant will do everything for you.
    The critical part is making sure the external is corectly connected to the new computer.

  • Recover data from external hard drive that was Windows format and connected on a Macbook Pro. Did I lose everything? What happened?

    Hi there this is my first question here!
    I connected my external hard drive originally formatted on PC on my new Macbook. The first time I connected it I could see all my files but today I connected it and after I couldn't see any file nor even on my pc appears as NO NAME with a different name and nothing on it. I think was reformatted, any help to recover all my data?
    It's really important stuff for me

    If the Apple Store couldn't get files off of the drive, it is unlikely that you will be able to. If you have backups, those would be the best way to go. You could also try booting up the computer and holding down T to boot into Target Disk Mode. Plug the broken computer into another one with FireWire and see if it works to recover data from external hard drive. If you can see it, try booting up the broken computer while holding down Option. Choose Recovery HD from the menu, then choose to Reinstall OS X.
    It is unlikely that this will work, because I'm pretty sure that the Apple Store would have tried this. You could try using expensive software to get files off the drive, but it would be risky and the results might not be any good.

  • Restoring itunes from external hard drive

    -I used WD backup program to store itunes on external hard drive
    -hard drive on mac pro crashed, replaced hard drive
    -trying to restore itunes songsa from external drive and when I copied songs from external hard drive to new internal hard drive which has itunes program, only song titles appear and track number for songs I ripped from CDs. All info is present for songs I purchased from itunes (why is there a difference in the way these two are restored???)
    -Can I restore itunes from external drive so that artist and album are associated with each song title I ripped from CDs?
    Much appreciate all assistance. Thanks.

    I know MP3 and AAC save tag data, and I believe AIFF does as well (if you want to keep them in full-quality but space-greedy format). I don't think WAV supports tagging which is why they were lost. Read:

    This time make sure you have a complete backup of your itunes folder (which, in fact you may still have). That way you can recover your complete library and everything intact (as long as you keep your backups up to date).

  • How do I restore data from recovered hard drive?

    In a nutshell-
    Hard drive failed. We had it replaced, and recovered data from old hard drive, put it on an external hard drive. Now we want to put that data onto the new hard drive.
    Is it as simple as dragging it over?
    We're missing most of the software that came with our computer when we first bought it. We can't find the software installation disk, but we do see application icons from the recovered data. We do have the Software disk from a Mac mini. Can we use this disk? It seems like there has to be a way to get the software we had before the crash without paying to have it done.
    I thank you, in advance.

    You cannot use the discs from a Mac Mini--you have to have the exact discs for your iBook G4. These discs are very machine specific.
    That said, you can try bringing over the various applications from your external drive. The only potential problem is that because the old drive failed, there could be some software corruption.
    If you can locate your original discs and install the software from them, that would be ideal. If you can't, you can get replacement discs from Apple for a fee.
    As for the data, you should be able to just drag it over.
    Good luck!

  • Transferring data from external hard drive to new replacement Macbook Pro...

    Hello,
    Apple have arranged to give me a replacement Macbook Pro due to faults with hardware on the one I am currently using. I will be going to pick up the replacement Macbook Pro tomorrow morning.
    As a complete novice I just wanted to check that I have backed up the data from my current laptop onto my Iomega external hard drive properly, as I am slightly nervous about losing all my work and not being able to transfer all my files onto my new Macbook Pro tomorrow.
    I did a back up using time machine earlier today which took quite a long time and seemed to go successfully. Is this the right thing to have done to save all data from my current laptop onto the external hard drive?
    Will transferring data from the external hard drive onto my new Macbook Pro be a simple task?
    Will I have to reinstall all my software such as Logic and Pro Tools? Also will my preferences and settings for music software be changed?
    I'd greatly appreciate any advice.
    Thanks,
    Deena

    Well it's like this.
    If your problem on the Mac didn't affect the software or the TimeMachine backup, then restoring from that using SetupAssistant (when you first set up a new Mac it will ask you to restore) should go fine.
    HOWEVER, if there are software issues on the Mac that also transferred to the TimeMachine drive, that will only transfer them back onto your new computer.
    You can't very easily just pick out the things you want to restore from TimeMachine with, it doesn't give that fine detail of control, and if it's really messed up, it might not restore anything at all.
    The golden rule of backups is to maintain two separate and easily accessible hardware copies of your data off the machine at all times.
    Since you don't know for sure if the TimeMachine restore is going to work as intended, and your only other source is going to disappear, I'd advise a additional backup of your Music, Documents, Pictures and Movie folders etc., to another regular external drive via regular drag and drop copy methods.
    The operating system and programs can all be reinstalled from fresh sources on the new machine, provided you have the AppleID and password, license codes for your programs, email passwords and any other necessary information to re-establish the license on the new machine.
    (In some cases licensed software HAS NOT transferred to a new machine with a TimeMachine restore and had to be reinstalled)
    Some times you have to contact the developer or "uninstall" the licensed program so it sends a signal to their servers that the program has been removed, else your license code may not work on the new machine.
    You might decide the new machine would be better off with a fresh install of your programs that you know are 100% compatible with Lion etc., leaving a lot of older stuff you installed over the years off the new machine, if you restore from TimeMachine, you don't have this option. You pretty much get all the crap along for the ride,
    If your new machine gets all crapped up, then restoring Lion is going to going to be a tough challenge, as you need a strong reliable Internet connection to download a fresh copy of Lion from Apple servers (no more disks). Once you do that, then somehow you have to use third party software ($$) to cherry pick your files out of TimeMachines trap. More headaches than you anticpated, and likely a charge by a specialist.
    So I'd advise another hard drive with a copy of just your files, just in case a crap-up occurs
    You can restore Lion yourself if it craps up, install programs from fresh sources as you know how to do, use the old license codes and then return your files manually exactly back into their same Music, Pictures, Documents, and Movies (etc, not Library) folders as before.
    The key to this manual method is to make sure to use the same user name as before, so all your file location data pathnames retained by program files like iTunes to where the songs are located on the drive, are matched. Once you open these programs and restablish the links in OS X, then you can move them around.
    Some tricks, if you use iPhoto, you can right click "show package contents" and inside is a folder with your Originals, copy that out and you can reimport your pictures into the new iPhoto Library on the new machine.
    So use TM if you dare, but prepared to do things manually is my opinion.
    TM restores have not been all that reliable or dependable, the more messed up your machine is, the worst the restore seems to be.
    Good Luck 

  • How to restore session from external hard drive as time machine?

    Hi - I'm trying to restore my apps and data from my time machine onto a new hard drive, which was just replaced by Apple.  I'm using a WD elements hard drive as a time machine and the new hard drive only sees it as an external hard drive - it asks whether I want to use it as a time machine, so if I select this will it keep all my old back ups from the previous hard drive?
    When I went through the set up assistant it didn't pick up the external hard drive - it is definitely plugged in, on and on the same network!  I'm now trying migration assistant which closes down all apps, and so it can't pick up the drive either - any ideas?
    Thank you!

    You need to boot to the recovery HD and then select Restore from a Time Machine backup.
    You can't do that when you are bootiing to the real OS. It has to be done from the recovery hd.

  • How do i retrieve deleted data from external hard drive

    I accidentally erased all my data from my external hard drive. Data included pictures, documents and movies. They are so important to me! Is there any possiblity for me to retrieve the files?!

    So you deleted all the files and then emptied the trash already with them in there? Are they backed up anywhere for you to restore from?
    There are 3rd party data recovery programs you can buy to try and restore the data, the success of the program recovering everything is not 100% and the program's success is decreased if you continued to write to the hard drive (by adding content) after the mass purge.
    I've used Prosoft Data Rescue 3 with success in the past - http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
    You can find it for as low as $75 on the 'net if you shop around. To put it into perspective, data recovery service will run you (potentially) 7-10x more.
