Tungsten E2, Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and lost files

We have todayinstalled the above software onto a Windows XP Pro desktop and after performing a sync find that our PDA is blank, our Desktop software is blank and are wondering where the files are.
Also, is it possible to reverse this sync?

In palm desktop, is there only 1 username listed?
On the PC, there are files in the username folder that store your data. Copy and paste the following address in a browser for the Palm kb article regarding the location of the folder.
http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=359,E=0000000000015703831,K=2931,Sxi=11,Case=Obj(26...)
Once you locate the folder, look for the folders for your data, datebook, addresses, memos,etc. Look in those folders for the data files. See if you have any files named datebook.dat or datebook.bak in the datebook folder.
Are there files in those folders? If so what are the file names.
It is not possible to reverse a sync. The only way to possibly recover your data, is if there are files in the above named folders.

How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet? Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files. If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

Palm Desktop replacement for Mac and iPhone?

Since Palm Desktop is no longer in active development, is there a Palm Desktop replacement for Mac and iPhone?
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/33219_en.html#mac
I mean, a single application (not a bunch of them like Address Book, iCal etc) that works on Mac (desktop) and that can sync with the iPhone. Including all data from the current Palm Desktop:
1. Address List
2. To Do List
3. Memo List
4. Date Book
Thanks.

If only Apple did something like that (all-in-one-application personal organizer with contacts, memos, calendar, to do lists, etc)
Well, they offer all those functions--Mail has Notes and To-dos show up in both Mail and iCal, plus Address Book. Clearly someone made the fundamental decision that separate integrated programs were better than an all-in-one, so I wouldn't expect an all-in-one from Apple in any foreseeable future. But you can send a feature request, if you like:
http://apple.com/feedback
What would be interesting---and may exist, I haven't looked---would be if a third-party used the open access to iCal/Address Book info to build an all-in-one that integrated with Apple's separate apps, which could provide seamless iPhone/OS X integration while still letting people have the unified interface. Postbox uses Address Book but I didn't see any calendar/notes features in my quick check. Lots of apps build better replacements for Apple's individual programs--BusyCal, I think a Mail replacement, etc---but nothing unified that I've heard of.
However, my point was that you may be better off grabbing Entourage 2008 while it is still available than waiting for Outlook 2011, which is going to be a different program. Sometimes features go backwards, and Missing Sync compatibility may change or be delayed with Outlook 2011. I don't see the advantage of hanging onto PD until the very last minute.

Synching on Windows 7 (64 bit) between Palm desktop (6.2.2) and Outlook 2010

I have recently purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 (64 bit) and Outlook 2010 which I use for email, contacts and calander. I have managed by a miracle using bluetooth to synch between my Tungsten E2 and Palm desktop and know that there are no tools, as yet, to synch between my E2 and Outlook 2010. Would it work as a two stage process i.e.
1. synch desktop and outlook
2. synch desktop and E2.
If so how do I do step one?
Thanks

In PD 6.2.2 there is a PIM conduit switcher. Have you tried this?
Another option I can think to try is to export your data in a format compatible with Outlook, .csv or .tab and then import into Outlook.
Chapura makes a program called pocket copy. It is a one time transfer of your data from PD to Outlook.
They have a program called Pocket Mirror but is only compatible with 32 bit versions.
Here is a link to their site.

Can't get my data out of palm tungsten c- palm desktop crashes

I have been a tungsten c user for many years. Now that HP has discontinued support, I would like to get my data out and transfer it to anothr device. I have backed up with hotsync on a daily basis. When I load palm desktop (PD), it crashes. I have 4 computers: a Dell 700 m with win xp, an optiplex with win xp, an optiplex with vista and a toshibal laptop with win7 64 bit. I have downloaded new copies of palm desktop 4.4, and tried the access version of 6 something. The desktop loads, waits 2 seconds, then I get the message .. has created an error and has to close. I checked, the MA file is there and seems to have the correct date. How do I get my data out if palm desktop will not start?
PS I disabled antivirus during installation, uninstalled the old version and rebooted before trying to open the PD.

Well I went ahead and made separate methods to return each value. I suppose that will work just as well, especially since now I don't have to declare a bunch of strings and int's to hold the data and pass to the method.
>
Well this would never work anyway
public void getData(String n, int num, String c, String d)None of those can be changed within the method. Strings are immutable and 'int' is passed by value. Each of those parameters will have the same value after the method exits as they did before it was called.
Your book class should be using 'setters' to set the value of its instance variables.

Expense app for Tungsten T3 & Palm Desktop?

I have an old Tungsten T3 which serves me well. Recently I started using the Expense app (v. 4.5.1P) that comes with its Palm OS (v.5.2.1).
I noticed there was no Expense app on the Palm Desktop which I am running under Windows XP SP2. So I re-downloaded the latest version of Palm Desktop for the T3: version 4.1.4e. That's the latest version that the palmOne Website said was available for the T3 and Windows XP.
If I click Palm Desktop » Help » About Palm Desktop » Version » General, I see, in the Files pane, "Expcn20.dll (not found)". I guess this .dll is the one for the Expense app.
On another posted thread, Expense Tracking missing desktop 4.1.4, I note that the Expense app exists for Palm Desktop v. 4.2. But the palmOne Website told me the latest version for my T3 and Windows XP was v. 4.1.4e.
Questions:
Has anyone tested Palm Desktop v. 4.2 on the Tungsten T3?
Is the Expense app available on the cd-rom version of Palm Desktop v. 4.1.4e? (which I don't have)
Is it possible to somehow download Expcn20.dll and add it to installation of Palm Desktop v. 4.1.4e?
Any other suggestions? (not including "Buy a newer handheld", because I'm a poor student )

The Palm Desktop which is available for free download from the Palm Support site, version 4.1.4e, is a generic version in that it is useable for a variety of devices, but does not have all of the desktop applications (i.e. Expense, Media). That's because not all handheld models come with all of those applications, and the downloadable version is really intended to be a backstop for basic synchronization only.
To obtain the Expense application for your desktop, you would need to use the original installation disc for your device.

Tungsten E palm desktop

I recently had to overhaul my computer due to a virus and lost the Palm Desktop version affiliated with the Tungsten E. When I went onto the site to download it, it is no longer there. Is there anyone who knows how to get that software?
Post relates to: Tungsten E

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
Palm Desktop 4.1.4E is supposed to sync with Windows Vista, but it will only work with 32-bit Vista, not 64-bit Vista computers. If your desktop is 64-bit, you should be able to sync using Bluetooth (if your computer has Bluetooth). If no Bluetooth, you can also use an IRDA (infared) adapter, which has also been discussed in recent threads.
If your computer is 32-bit Vista, your best bet is to download the new Palm Desktop 6.2.2 (you might have to fib and tell the download page that you have a newer device). THEN, go to www.pimlicosoftware.com and install their free utility PalmHotsyncSetup.
Good luck, and please let us know how you make out.

Synching issues between Palm Desktop 4.1.2 and Sun ONE Synch 1.1p2

This has been vaguely mentioned in a thread elsewhere. I thought I'd document my issues for anyone else searching.
Downloaded and isntalled PD 4.1.2. Synched fine with my Palm Vx.
Installed Sun's synch software 1.1p2. Synched with Calender Server. Synch between Palm and Calender directly failed. Synch between PD and Cal server appeared to go through, but nothing actually synched.
After this, synching between Palm and PD began to go wrong - date book wouldn't be synched, then tasks stopped, progressively getting worse.
Reinstlaled PD 4.1.4 and Palm and PD could synch again.
Uninstalled PD 4.1.4, installed an older version, 4.1, found on CNET's download site. Reinstalled Synch software, everything now synchs fine.
Thank God for that!
Chris

4.1.4 was originally designed for Palm OS 4.x devices, while 4.2 and 4.1.4e (Extended) were designed for PalmOS 5.x devices using the new PIM programs (Contacts and Calendar vs. Address Book and Datebook).
See these articles for some insight:

Instructions for a Clean Uninstall of Palm Desktop on Windows XP and Vista computers

A frequent cure for many Hotsync problems is to perform a clean uninstall, and then a reinstall, of the Palm Desktop software. This involves more than just using the Add or Remove Programs utility in the Windows Control Panel.

PALM DESKTOP SOFTWARE - CONTACTS HAVE BEEN LOST

Hello,
I have upgraded my computer a few months ago to a Windows 7 , 64 bit, i7 core Intel with 8 GB of Ram. When I installed my Palm Desktop by ACCESS Version 6.2.2 from onto the the computer I uploaded all my contacts and everything worked like a charm until two weeks ago. i turned on my computer in the morning only to notice my entire database had been erased.
Luckily I had a saved file that I could re-uipload the contacts up to a certain point. However I am worried that this will happen again. I think perhaps the software is not compatible with 64 bit ?????
How can this be avoided??? Is there another more updated software so to avoid this problem???
Please help.

Hello Jiggler, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
There is a known bug with Palm Desktop 6.2 - if a computer is shut down while the program is still running, it's possible to lose data.
Access (the makers of this version of the software) was notified a long time ago when it first appeared but they ended support when Palm when out of business.
The problem occurs on 32bit machines too.
Keep making backups as you have been doing, and things will be well.

Help Required - Ran "Repair Permissions" and lost files

I was having a few unknown errors with my computer lately... (iBook G4, Purchased November, 2005) I was unable to print, OS 9 was not loading, and everything was really slow.
When looking around in my computer (Only been using a Mac as long as I have had this computer), I found the disk utility and figured that would be a good place to start. After running the "Repair Permissions", I was pleased to see my computer was running quicker, and my programs were opening properly.
Now...The problem....
I used to have a fairly cluttered desktop...and as of a few weeks ago, I took everything, and put it into a new folder in the Hard Drive. After the Repair was finished, I found that particular folder was deleted. My Trash was still empty, and when searching for that folder, sub folders, and programs there, they were no where to be found. Also, it appears it was only this folder (It was called Main Directory if that helps at all) that was deleted.
I have noticed, that a few of the programs deleted do have files in the "Cache" folder....But I don't know what good that does me.
Any help in recovering these lost files would be greatly appreciated
PS. Yes....I have learned now not to poke around and run utilities that I don't know what they really do...at least without backing up my hard drive.

I'm sorry.....I made a mistake...I got the computer 2004.

Dups, sharing problems and lost files on NAS drive

I have been trying ot set up a "shared library" on a network storage drive. The process has been painful to say the least I have over 17k music files and 400+ audio books.
My first problem was creating duplicate files when pointing a new PC to iTunes media files. After trying multiple 3rd party software product unsucessfullly I finally bite the bullet and used the iTunes feature display duplicates feature. Because I did not want to delete compliations and greatest hits dups I had to browse dups by album and manally sort through over 7,000 songs. Took me a week to complet but I did it. The larger problem I am now facing is lost files.
I sucessfully had both compurter pointed to the same media folder and everything was working great until I accidentally selected all of my file (yes 17,000+) and proceeded to delete them. I was trying to deleted all of the songs in a album that was duplicates... I caught my error only after a few secs but I am afraid the damage is done. The weird part is the songs are still in the library in iTunes but I now have close to 5,000 missing files icons and when I look for the files in the album folder, they are missing. What is more irritating is not every song from every album is missing. so If I reimport from the original cd (I hope they are not too scratched) it creates dups of the file that are already there and I have go through and do a manual dup clean up again!!!
Anyone have a thought as to where the missing files are (they are not in the trash under deleted files).
Anyone know of a better way to share a large library between mutliple computers and iOS devices without haveing to have multiple copies to sync(i.e. Home sharing).
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Hi Rajnish,
As you mentioned "quota limit", it is set via FSRM or specific function on NAS?
Meanwhile could you confirm the number 185GB is accurate? Sometimes a part of used space is just not calculated. You can confirm with checking the total space on NAS locally.
If the number is correct and quota is set via FSRM, check if it is the Disk Quota which not re-calculated the released space. Try to clear the Quota setting and reconfig with 300GB limitation and see if issue still exists.

Recovery partition and lost files g7-2254er Win 8

Hello! (sorry for my english)
My friend have HP g7-2254er COW24EA#ACB. Hi is loses laptop and after that Windows don't loaded corectly.
I'm try make recovery but not success.
After that I make factory recovey from boot time and Windows start again but I lost recovery with all fotos.
In Computer Managment - Disk Managment I see paritition 30Gb (Primary Partition) with 14Gb used spase but without any files inside.
How I can recovery user files?

Hi Dragon76ua,
Welcome to the HP Community, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you had some issues doing a recovery. The missing 16GB from the primary partition is for the Windows operating system and those files are typically hidden you that a user can't accident deleted something. I have included a link here on how to see a hidden drive in Disk Management.
If you don't see a hidden drive then you have lost your other partition and unfortunately your photos are gone. A computer expert MIGHT be able to find some but it would cost quite a bit.
