Synchroniz​ing - Data Recovery (.cvf) Help

Newbie to the forum.  Hopefully this is the correct thread? 
Had Palm Desktop  v 4.2 installed on my Windows XP Pro and was using it to sync with my Treo 650.  Recently purchased a Pre and am in the process of moving the data over.  Painful so far.  Palm support web site indicated that Palm Desktop v6.2 was required to begin the data tranfer to the Pre.  Downloaded v6.2 and installed.  The install recognized the previous version 4.2. and the install seemed to go well.  When I opened the new Desktop none of my old data (contacts, etc.) was there.  I was especially confused that no contact catagory was shown with the new install. 
Prior to doing this upgrade, I did export all of the data to a .cvf file on my desktop.  I believe I was asked and did sync the Treo with the new v6.2 as part of the install..  Because none of the data was transferred, I tried to import the saved .cvf data, but the new Palm Desktop version only recognized a new .cvs format . . .   And all of the data is still available on my Treo . . .
Frustrated and thinking I should start over I did uninstall the Palm v6.2 completely (Windows add/remove).  Suggestions . . . ?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

A little confusing... There are two common export formats for contacts (address book entries):
.vcf = vCard format, most often used for individual export
.csv = comma separated values, most often used for bulk export
If your address book on your 650 is intact, you may be able to sync the data into Desktop 6.2. However, I haven't used that version myself. You might peruse the Windows HotSync board here for pointers on the 4.x to 6.x migration.

  • Completely DEAD iPhone 3GS, Data Recovery ?HELP?

    I have a iPhone 3GS 16GB, The other day it just went off? tried unplugging it from the mains and plugging it back in again, but nothing happened.
    I tried to get it to go into DFU mode, Nothing!
    Plugged it into my Desktop PC, Nothing showed in itunes?
    I had it tested by a local phone shop and they said they did all the scans/checks and whatnot that they could and the iphone is a complete dud!:(
    But i really need the data that is on there?
    I have been told that if i take it to an apple store they can do a data retract for me?
    What are my options for a complete dead iphone but needing the data on there?

    Apple does not offer and will not perform any data recovery service.
    A simple google search will reveal multiple data recovery services, if you really need such a service and are willing to pay an arm, a leg, and give up your first born child for that data.
    If the device has been used as designed, it would have been backed up regularly to iTunes or iCloud.
    Simply restore that backup to a new iOS device.
    Contacts and calendars should be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device should be regularly copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.

  • Difficulty synchroniz​ing data from VISA resource with data from a physical channel

    Essentially what I'd like my program to do is control the electrical power going (sourcing either current or voltage) into a light and measure the intensity of the light at a given power level, and then do this automatically for ~1000 increments of the source voltage/current.
    One of my lab partners made a program a while back which does what we want("LIV Sweep Rev.vi" the first image in the link at the end of this post), but it's a bit sloppy: the program is able to interact with the power supply (connected directly to the computer via USB) and make it turn on, increase the voltage/current, and record the "IV" characteristics just fine. The program can also interact with the light detector (connected via NI-BNC 2110) and gather the photocurrent data. The problem, however, is that the data wouldn't be in sync. The photocurrent data for when the light was actually supplied with 1V would be improperly recorded in the cell for when 2V are applied to the light. To fix this problem my lab partner added in a time delay so that the detector will pause for ~0.35 sec (user-specified in front panel) before gathering data.
    The program works, but I figured there had to be a better way. The thing about the timing, however, is that it changes from run to run. Sometimes a delay of 0.45 s works well, and other times the power supply will have shut down while the detector is still gathering data (and thus we miss the low end of the sweep). Other times the detector will turn on too early, which will cut off the high end of the sweep.
    (Note: I have next to zero experience with LabVIEW, but I know a little bit of java, so I understand most programming jargon)
    I spent all day yesterday trying to find out how to synchronize two data aquisitions (my attempt is shown in the "LIV SweepSummerDuncanRev3.vi" in the link at the bottom, 2nd image) but I'm running into trouble when I try to trigger the sample clock using the VISA Resource Name for the power supply.
    The programs can be viewed here:
    http://imgur.com/a/Up3eS
    I'd really appreciate any and all advice that you folks have to offer!

    Change the code such that rather than using a ramp from your power supply, just output a single value. Then do your measurement and then step to the next value in your ramp.
    You can use a State Machine (SEarch if you do not know that term in LV).
    Some gear will allow specifying a ramp driven by an external clock. If you widget can handle an external clock/trigger that approach could run faster.
    Without hardware to syncronize the various sub-systems you would have to resort to using a RT OS and depending on the instruments, even that could be hit-n-miss.
    So re-code to step-measure-step-measure etc.

I tried to turn off and turn on the phone, but I just can't enter into the menu. when the phone is turn on, only see the 'Nokia' wording, then the whole screen is just white and can only see the battery logo. It can't be turn off, need to remove the battery. I haven't back-up my contacts and smses yet, when this happen. Would like to know if anyone can help. I am really desperate now. All the contacts and smses are very important. Is there any way or method, that I can use, so that I can save the datas?

    If the phone won't start up, all you can do is take it to a service centre for repair. If your phone is under warranty, then damage caused by something going wrong in software updater is covered as a free repair.

  • Question about Apps lost during data recovery. Help!

    My hard drive recently failed on my 2007 imac and having not backed up my mac for about 18 months I had to pay specialists to retrieve my data, which they put onto an external drive. I then got a new 1TB hybrid drive installed. Tonight I finally got my computer back. Very naively I was thinking I would be able to pick back up from where I left off. Before my drive broke I had Mavericks and was fully up to date running software like Logic X. Now I am back on 10.6.8. Can I just skip now straight up to Yosemite?

    You don't have an option, Mavericks is no longer available so Yosemite is the only available OS available from Mac App Store.
    Logic will open if you install it from the Mac App Store just as any other previously purchased applications.

  • Data Recovery Program Help

    I heard that it is possible to restore system state to factory conditions (kind of like a reformat) by pressing the blue ThinkVantage button when windows is loading (I am using XP). Does this process require the windows XP cds? How thorough of a cleanup is this method?

    If you have a good drive exactly identical to your bad drive, you can try swapping the controller boards on the drives (the electronics of the drives). If your problem is on the controller you can swap it long enough to retrieve your data, then swap back and chunk it.

  • BlackBerry Desktop Software displays the error "Caught _com_error exception. Description(): (null): Error(): -2147319779 (0x8002801D). ErrorMessage(): Library not registered.:Source(): (null)." when attempting to synchronize organizer data

    BlackBerry Desktop Software displays the error "Caught _com_error exception. Description(): (null): Error(): -2147319779 (0x8002801D). ErrorMessage(): Library not registered.ource(): (null)." when attempting to synchronize organizer data.Can someone help me with this?  

    Tried clean wipe and reinstall. Immediately after reinstall of DM, in setting up my 9900 "for the first time", I received the following error message...
    "Either there is no default email client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please open Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client."
    I opened Outlook 2013 and checked that it was the default mail client. It was already.
    After going in and clicking to confirm default email client, I was allowed to proceed to configure organizer sync settings. I configured memo only (one way from device). I then received the same error message that I was receiving (per my original post in the last message). I've previously tried configuring only one type of organizer sync and not one of them completed a successful sync, so it can't be a bad entry in the calendar or contacts. I also tried deleting CICAL entries for all of email addresses other than my primary one. No difference. Also, prior to setup and sync, I confirmed that my 9900 was not on wireless sync.
    I was hoping that this was an old issue and I could use one of the old work-arounds, so if anyone has any ideas for something else to try, please let me know.
    In the mean time, I  have to assume that it's something that's changed with Outlook 2013 (particularly given the new error message I reported above. I hope that someone at RIM is aware of these error messages and is working on a compatibility fix for Office 2013.

  • Data recovery - HELP!

    Hi there
    I have done the stupidest thing EVER! I back up my entire MacBook on an external hard drive - so far, so sensible. Only I've updated what I've backed up by replacing folders with newer versions and I've only just realised. I've lost four years' worth of digital photos and I'm praying there's some way of recovering them. Please help me! I'll name my future children after you and put you in my will!
    Here's what I've done in full:
    - I upload all my photos to iPhoto, edit them and then save them into a folder within a folder on my desktop
    - I started getting very low on operating memory so I got an external hard drive with a fire wire and began backing everything up. I took all my photos in the Photos folder off my desktop altogether and trashed them, so I had more operating memory.
    - I did this in May/June
    - I also had photos from 2004/2005/2006 on there which were from before I had a Mac and uploaded to iPhoto
    - I've since overwritten this folder with a new (thus virtually empty with only a few recent photos) version and I think I've done it twice since I originally backed everything up, but I've only just realised I've been overwriting everything.
    - I've looked in that iPhoto library in Pictures that I have and I can recover some photos, but there appears to be a lot missing and because I'm a keen photographer who is anal about editing and organising (the irony!) my photos, they're all mixed up - which is why I had them in separate folders in the first place
    Is there ANYTHING I can do?
    Can they be recovered from the hard drive itself?
    Is there software that can be downloaded free or paid for to do this?
    I've googled it a bit and it looks like there's stuff you can download for a PC. I have access to a PC, so I can have a go on that if that's what it takes.
    If they can't be salvaged from the hard drive, will I perhaps be able to find them in a secret place on my MacBook from the time I trashed the original folders a couple of months ago? 'Secret place' is about as technical as I get!
    I can't get an appointment at the Genius Bar for a while. Any help on this would be much appreciated. I know I'm an idiot - but I was half way to being a non-idiot by backing up in the first place...so small victories...!
    Thanks,
    Rachael

    Basics of File Recovery
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
    Since it sounds like you overwrote files and folders then the data that were overwritten are gone for good and can not be recovered.
    In the future you should make multiple backups including an archival backup on DVD media that can be stored away safely. It's good that you have some backups, but your backup plan is obviously inadequate.

  • Hard Drive Failure on HP DV 6000 Pavilion laptop Windows-XP​sp3 OS - Need Data Recovery Help

    Hard Drive Failure on HP DV 6000 Pavilion laptop - Need Data Recovery Help
    HP Pavilion DV 6108 NR, RG365UA, purchased in late 2006 at Best Buy, with Windows XP, upgraded to Service Pack 3. It has a Fujitsu hard disk, 60 gigabyte, partitioned into C: and a Recovery D:.
    Windows tries to boot up, but goes to blue screen with the message: "Unmountable Boot Volume" for one second, then just keeps recycling until I force a shutdown.
    BIOS Phoenix, hard drive test result: " #1-08 Fail "
    I ran a disk analysis/recovery program on the Cdrive and it seemed to show the directory structure intact, and it was able to recover some files. I was using the free one from Seagate (which only recovers small files). The second pass didn't run so well, and during the third run the program said I should not proceed further, and I should contact a professional disk recovery company.
    However, the D drive seems to be intact, so, I wonder if the disk is corrupted or just some aspect of the logical C drive is bad.
    How can I get the D: to run the recovery software on it? The recovery disks, made by Best Buy, only proceed to the R / F / Q option screen, and when I press R, I get a blue screen every time.
    Tapping the F10 key during startup gets me nowhere. Ditto the F11 key.
    I dont care about the hard disk; it is the data (files, docs, images, etc)  that I want.
    I contacted HP to order recovery disks but they are no longer available for my computer.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Update...
    I found a website that offers the following:

    Recovery Kit 435422-001 For HP Model Number dv6108nr
    Price: $27.00
    Recovery Kit Set (An Entire Image of the Computer hard drive when the computer was new)
    But I wonder how useful it would be. Early XP , no doubt. And if my hard disk problem is a mechanical fault, would any recovery disk even work? The disks made by Best Buy when I bought mine new in 2006 don't do anything more than go to the R /F/ Q screen and then goes to a blue screen when I press R (to recover the OS and apps and data files). And, as I wrote, it is the data that I want, not the disk drive.

  • IPod data recovery- Help!!

    I recently lost all of the songs, videos and pictures I had on my 80gb ipod video (at least over 3000 items) and don't have any of the files in my computer anymore.
    Now I've downloaded 3 trial versions of programs that claim to restore your iPod data, and I wanted to take into consideration your suggestions before making a quite possible unnecessary expense.
    The first programs that I installed were Recover My iPod and iPod Data Recovery.
    However, the problem with these two was that they either presented a list of over 8000 songs, with no names mind you, (an amount i vividly remember not having) or they would just appear as error files.
    Then I stumbled upon an alternate option, which was iPod Recovery. It offered me a detailed list of all the songs i had in my iPod. So I left it yesterday almost the whole day, but in the end, it only allowed me to download 15 songs.
    I don't know if this is the limit for the trial version, but before buying the full software, I wanted to ask if any of you had encountered the same problem, or if you know whether it would be a good choice to buy the program, and if it will allow me to recover all of my data. Please help me!! I don't care if I have to spend a lot of money in those programs, I just want to be sure that they will be able to recover all of my lost data.
    Any comments or suggestions are highly welcomed and encouraged. Thanks in advanced, and please excuse any inconveniences I may have caused.

    *They can rescue data that has not been overwritten.*
    This is what I wanted to know, I thought they were scammers and that I'd not get anything out of it.
    *can they recover all lost data? Most likely, no.*
    T_T
    *You do still have everything on your computer though, correct?*
    If that were the case it would be unnecessary to look for programs that can "recover" your data
    If you don't have the files on your computer, you do make regular backups of at least the important files on your computer, correct?
    No...that's my mistake and I'm paying too big a price for it. sighs
    Thanks a lot for your responses *Chris CA*, I'll still buy one of those programs and a backup memory x_x

  • IMAC Fusion Hard Drive failure, help with data recovery

    I've got a Late 2012 iMAC 27 Inches 3.4GHZ with a Fusion 3.1TB HDD. My machine has booting issue the past few weeks and when contacted through Apple Care UK, after a few over the phone diagnostics they wanted me to take the machine over to get the Hard Drive checked. I had transferred some of my vital data from another HDD a few days before that and did not have an up to date backup. When booked in they said the HDD will have to be replaced and they will migrate the data over. But when I collected the machine, they said they couldn't transfer data as 'it didn't mount' and therefore unable to transfer. I was gutted as I have 2 wedding on their which were WIP and had to be delivered to the client in a few days. I have got my old HDD from the apple store...but unable to read data..can you help? Guess as a final resort I'd have to obtain the expensive data recovery services.

    Ouch...
    But before going for an expensive data recovery service, you have some other options.
    At first you have to get that harddrive connected to your iMac. There are several solutions to that. One is to buy a SATA USB Docking Bay (see picture). You can put the harddisk in it and connect it via USB to your iMac.
    Next you'll need recovery software. Disk Utility will probably not help you, but it is worth the try (because it is free and comes with OSX).
    A great piece of software to look at is DiskWarrior. It once helped me accessing a dying External Harddisk and got most of the data off it before it really died. There are more applications, just google 'Data Recovery OSX', and you will find a lot more.
    Oh, and make sure to start a good back-up plan for the future. Time Machine is great, or Carbon Copy Cloner, and maybe invest in a decent NAS to copy your data on.
    Good luck!

  • Iphone data recovery software.....plz help

    Can you tell me that can I get back my contacts using iphone data recovery software

    Before you recover contacts from iPhone you are not allowed to connect your iPhone to computer directly, because iTunes will save the recent data automatically. First of all, you should check whether you have the backup files
    iTunes> preferences> devices
    All your backup files are listed here.
    Then click iTunes>preferences> devices "prevent iPhone from syncing automatically." select OK and close the window after checking" don't sync"
    Now you can connect iPhone to PC and make the iPhone data recovery based on you have the backup files.
    Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.
    The method above is based that you have the backup files
    And if you are unlucky to have the backup, you may Google iPhone data recovery, paid or free, which offer the trial version and have a try to choose suitable one.
    Hope to help you!
