Restoring lost datebook data

I recently opened my handheld and the datebook data entered over the past month or so had been deleted. How do I restore these datebook data? I see a DAT and BAK file on the C: drive, but can't see what data are in these files/ Any ideas??

I have an old Palm Pilot.  It has gotten so I only use the palm pilot computer software for my journal and for
addresseses.  Recently my computer crashed and I was able to save the palm pilot data but could not import it as
they were .dat files.  I took your advice and changed the extensions from .dat to .dba .aba etc. and I now have 
my addresses and journal back for my life for the past 8 years.  Thank you so much.  And the advice was so simple
even an idiot could do it and I did.  (just kidding).

  • How can I simply restore lost app data from iCloud, without resetting all content. Please someone!!!

    I accidentally deleted a timesheet app from my iPhone, I reinstalled the app again but the data did not come back with it. Can someone help me with details how I can restore my lost data for just that app, from iCloud. iCloud is and was set up on my phone and was updated 3 days before this happened. People have suggested I "reset all content and setting" and it will come back. The sounds of deleting all content on my phone worries me. I have no other devices to back up on, so my only back up is in "iCloud"
    Is there a simple way I can download and reinstall just the data for the app from iCloud?

    Delete all content and settings will wipe your phone. You cannot selectively restore in iTunes or iCloud, it is either all or none. You would have to restore to a backup before you deleted the app to be able to recover the data. However, anything that you did since that time would be lost.

  • Is there anyway to restore lost game data and achievement from the Game Centre after doing a full restore without backup?

    I recently restored my iPad to fix issues with the Facebook account attached to my iPad clearing all saved data and I didn't backup with iCloud because I wanted to get rid of the Facebook account that I could no longer access and remove or attach with games. Game achievements are shown in the Game Centre but when I play the app it starts at the very beginning of the app with no progress is there anyway to retrieve my progress?

    No. Not without a backup.

  • HT3529 I have lost all data on my iphone and the back-up is too old. How can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4? I have all the chats on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

    Hi,
    I have lost all data on my iphone by mistake. I needed to restore the phone and I didnt realize my back-up was 1yr old, and now the phone is restored and I've got a year old contact list and iMessage chat history. Luckily my iMessage on the Mac is still valid and has all the chat history. My question is how can I restore iMessage chats on my iPhone 4 from my Mac? I have all the chat history on my Mac, but there seems to be no sync function from Mac to iphone. Please advice.

    If things seem to be going haywire with your phone, it seems that it MAY be a software issue.
    Now, that being said, that does not necessarily mean that it is a virus. Software issues do happen sometimes. It is probably just coincidence.
    What you need to do is restore the device using iTunes. This will fix any software issues. After you have done this, you can restore from an iCloud backup.
    iCloud does not back up the actual software, so no, the "virus" would not have gotten into the backups.
    The link below provides steps on restoring your device using iTunes as well as how to restore from an iCloud backup.

    Don't worry! Everything should be back to normal if you follow these steps.

  • How can I get Back all of my data after restoring and back up ? I lost my data and I did back up

    when I did restore and update .. I lost all of my data , then I pressed to back up buttom , when I try to restore data , its disapper . is there anyway to get back all data lost ?

    If you are backing up to your computer, check iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, if there are nay other backups listed.
    Since each backup replaces the old one if not used to restore from, your data might be lost since you seem to have backed up a phone without any personal data.
    Check this article about how to restore from backups:

    Sorry Raj,
    If you did not back up your information, and you have now restored your phone, then your information is not recoverable.

  • Restore steps if lost some data files?

    I lost some data files in database and I am not sure what datafiles are. But one think sure is the control and redo log files are here. For this case, I don't have to restore contronl files and archivelog files. Please correct me if my idea is wrong.
    Steps as follows:
    ===========
    restore database;
    recover database;
    alter database open;
    Please advice if the steps are wrong.
    FAN

    Hi user623471!
    Yes you don't have to restore control, redo log and archive log files in the case that they are not lost. To find out which datafiles are lost do the following steps:
    <pre>
    sqlplus / as sysdba
    --Make a checkpoint
    ALTER SYSTEM CHECKPOINT;
    --query v$recover_file to see which files need recovery
    SELECT file#, error, online_status, change#, time
    FROM v$recover_file;
    exit
    </pre>
    Now start rman an restore only the files shown by v$recover_file.
    <pre>
    rman target /
    restore datafile x, y, z;
    recover database;
    sql 'alter database open';
    exit;
    </pre>
    x, y and z are placeholders for the filenumbers shown by the file# column of v$recover_file.
    Hope that helps!
    yours sincerely

    Hi All, i recently done a back up and update & restore, but ive lost my notes, my text messages and my reminders and notes on the calender, i also have lost the data i had in an app which was very important to me. Please Please help me,  i,m total novice.
    I did this back up because i was instructed by my service provider. This was supposed to sort out my losing connection problem, which it didn't, it instead gave me a new problem. If there is anyone out there who can help me to retrieve my lost information i would appreciate it.
    Thank You in advance.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

    I lost purchased music on my computer that was purchased in the last 4 to 5 months because of virus. I did not back up the few songs I purchased on cd. I also lost all data on my Ipod nano and had to restore it. How do I download these purchases I lost?

    Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:

    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.

    This if course will not apply to songs you did not buy through the iTunes Store.

  • How to best restore lost User Accounts after server crash?

    Our late 2005 G5 froze sometime overnight in the middle of a Time Machine backup.  We had to do a hard reboot the next morning.
    When OS X Server 10.5.8 came back up, none of our users could log in including our administrator accounts.  Unable to log in as root, we used the utility on the installation disc to reset the root password.  We were able to log in as root to see that our data and server disks still were intact and navigable.  However, we could not see any user accounts defined.  We then were able to log in as Server Administrator.  Same thing.
    We are unfamiliar with restoring anything from Time Machine backups other than user files.  Is there a way to restore user accounts from Time Machine and how? 
    More info: we tried restoring some system files and the library folder but no luck.  Not sure how to go about restoring Keychain if that got corrupted...We had about 10 accounts defined before the crash. 
    Carl

    I believe the easiest approach would be:
    - Install the same OS on the new servers
    - Install OS pre-req software and packages for your EBS instance
    - Restore from cold backup (if the crash happened directly after this backup and you haven't lost any data)
    OR,
    - Restore from hot backup (if the crash happened after your cold backup and you have data that wasn't part of the cold backup)
    I assume that no changes to the hostname, domainname, IP Address, port numbers, directory structure, ..etc is taking place in this restore.
    Thanks,

  • Help! Lost all Data!

    Problem with logging on:
    Started up and window appeared asking for my user log on password. Computer seemed to recognize password but got this message: This user cannot log in at this time.
    Password hint is correct, but can't log in after several tries. Call Apple Care, Steve has me try several logins, restarts holding C key, change password,etc. Nothing. Asks me if I have Fire Vault on but I can't remember. Tells me to do archive and install. I start first disc, run an errand, start disc 2. Still doesn't work.
    Call Apple Care again, Shane has me try option/command/P/R, run Verify disk which shows all okay, log on as "root", etc. Then he has me log in 4 times and enter my master password. Now I can see my familiar desktop again. We check Mac HD and "Previous Folder" for my User folder but find that they are empty. He tells me all my data is lost.
    After quizzing Shane to find out what caused this he mentioned that if Fire Vault is on then a different set of actions is performed or all data will be lost. Trying to log on 3 or 4 times and having it ask for the Master pw is an indication that Fire Vault is on. I entered Master pw and I was able to get to my desktop and dock, but all of the data is gone.
    I have back ups for a few things--photos, some itune songs and some stuff from 2007 and prior--but everything else is gone. I know I should have it all backed up but I didn't.
    I called the Apple Store and explained situation. He said, "Didn't Apple Care ask you to back up everything before you did an Archive and Install? They should have." But they didn't. I thought "Archive" meant that everything on my computer would be archived and still available.
    So, what happened?
    Is there anyway to retrieve any of my lost data?
    Apple Care suggested Data Recover, Lazarus, etc. but said it was $$$. I asked if reading the logs would help pinpoint what happened, Shane said I'd need a "Software Engineer" and that no one at Apple Care would be able to understand the Log gobbledeegoop.
    I pointed out that if, like he said, logging on 3-4 times and entering Master pw meant that File Vault was on, did he realize that and instruct me correctly so I wouldn't lose my data. I think he said that we had checked both Mac HD and "Previous Folder" and there was only an empty user file which meant data was gone.
    Was I given bad advice from Apple Care? Has anyone been able to get Apple to pay for data retrieval?
    Please help!

    Ultimately, it is the user's responsibility to have a separate drive that holds a backup of important data from the internal drive. Apple's Time Machine (part of Leopard) makes it a simple +set it and forget it+ process. Other people use a cloning utility, such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to periodically make complete duplicates (clones) of their internal drive volume to an external drive. Some people even do both, to be double protected. It is unlikely, but not inconceivable, that both your internal drive and Time Machine drive would fail at exactly the same time, which is the purpose of the additional cloned backup.
    You can lose your personal data on your internal drive for many reasons. The hard drive could fail. You could knock your iMac off your desk accidentally. Or your startup volume could just suffer from data corruption. With a Time Machine (or other type of) backup, it would be relatively simple to reformat your internal drive and restore the complete volume. If the internal drive had become faulty, you would have the drive replaced (under AppleCare) and then use the Time Machine backup to restore the complete volume. If the entire iMac had to be replaced due to an accident, that would not be pleasant, but you can use the Time Machine backup to restore your personal data to the replacement Mac; at least your old data would be there on the new Mac.
    There are some utilities that can be used to retrieve data, as long as new data has not been written over the location of your old files on the hard drive. However, this will not work, if you had +File Vault+ turned on, because the data would have been encrypted. Here is one such utility

    TechTool Pro from Micromat also has a data recovery tool.

  • How do you restore the "Last Date Played" notice in the iTunes window for songs?

    How do you restore the "Last Date Played" note in the iTunes window of playlists?  I lost this a couple of weeks ago, and had someone explain the steps to take (which are not on the iTunes "Help" menu).  Thanks.

    In the playlist, Right Mouse click on the column headers and it will give you a list to choose from in the pop up select Last Played and that column will display
