Where can I find my backups from Palm?

I have to do a Hard Reboot to my Treo (palm software) and so I am trying to accomplish a good backup so that I can get all my third party software and information back.  (I am having trouble with my email software shutting my palm software down.)
How do I know that I have a good backup and where on my computer can I find this??  I have 3 pieces of third party software (one for mileage and one for my lists and one for bible study) AND after we have completed this reboot, how can I reinstall my backup?  Will this bring my phone back with my software and information in that software??  I don't want to lose those 3 pieces software and/or information currently in those software pieces. 
Thank You in advance,
Linda
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

We have the software for you to download. The reason why I wanted to see if the data is on the device is it will make it much easier to move the data to the new Desktop. As for the name. As long as you saw this under hotsync on the Treo your perfectly fine.
Now we need to remove as much as possible of the other version of Palm Desktop. If you have your backups located other than in Sony clie folders we are ready to do the next steps.
Now I'm going to tell you where to go and what to delete. At some points it might sound vague. That is due to I do not know the Clie software that well and they modified it when they used the software from us. Also there is going to be a place on your computer call the Registry Editor. While in here only delete what is specified. If you do not see exactly that then do not delete. If you have any questions, post back and and ask away. I'm here to help you and get you where you need to be.
Now the hard part,
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something happens. This step you already done so we can go foward.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do with Palm Desktop from your computer. Next I would like you to delete the Sony Clie folder that has Palm Desktop in it. Nothing else just that folder. Should be under C:\Program Files\Sony or C:\Sony\Handheld... If you do not know what to delete then do not worry about this. One this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your registry.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel you are unsure of your self see if you have a friend that can help you or a PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them everything they need to delete. To help against this we need to do a backup.
Go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
Easiest way to make sure your doing the right one highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician. BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you did not sync before create a hotsync name.

  • Where can i find my backup from a week ago

    i resontly plugged in my iphone and it automaticly synced over my previos backup, is there a way i can get my packup from a week ago, i know once they sync it wipes out the one from before but is there a way i can get one of my old ones back

    Yes, usually the new backup will override the old.  However, you may check to see if you have more than one backup.
    First go to iTunes menu EDIT > PREFERENCES > DEVICES tab, do you see your backup there with Date and Time?
    If you can find an older backup with information that you want(From Date and Time), connect your Device to Computer. Select your iPhone or iPod under "Devices" on the left Pane. Right click it to bring up the menu and select Restore from backup....

    where can i find my photos from my iphone if i dont have any backups?

    Photo Stream, if they were uploaded to it within the last 30 days. Assuming you no longer have the phone or it's not working, that's it. If you didn't back them up, they're gone.

    I am still on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and do not have iCloud in my System Preferences. I have registered with iCloud online and backed up my iphone5 last night to my iMac. Where can I find the backup on my iMac?
    Below is what comes up when I sign into iCloud - where are all the other applications that I need to backup?
    Appreciate any answers to this query?
    Rachel

    Your question is unclear.  If you're backing up to your iMac, (via iTunes, with cable or WiFi), this has nothing to do with iCloud and the backup is stored on your iMac here:
    : ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

  • Where can I find this backups?

    Hi! As you see in the picture, my Mac have 80,5 in backups. Recently I run the command "tmutil disablelocal" for stop the auto local store of Time Machine backup but my Mac still store some of those backup. Where can I find those files? I search in "/Volumes/MobileBackups" and the folder doesn´t exist. I'm using OS X Yosemite.
    Thank you for the help.

    When  you disabled it via the Terminal they should have been erased.
    Time Machine Snapshots
    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and enter or paste the appropriate command line. Press RETURN and enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed. Press RETURN again.
         To turn them ON: sudo tmutil enablelocal
         To turn them OFF: sudo tmutil disablelocal
    Note that turning them OFF will also delete all existing snapshots.
    For more about snapshots see: OS X Mountain Lion- About local snapshots.

  • Updating to iOS 5 wiped my ipod clean, can't find the backup from the update. Please help!

    So I updated my ipod touch 4th generation on my old Windows Vista computer. It's been the same iTunes computer that I used to sync with when I first bought the device when it came out. I wiped the old backups inside iTunes before updating because it was taking space. While updating it was backing up my iPod. But then when it finished updating and said I was at iOS 5, it didn't restore my iPod touch. I went into the mobile sync>backup folder in my app data but couldn't find the backup from the update. Apparently iTunes doesn't save the backup from the update. I had 20gb's of my apps on the iPod. I know that I can download back the apps because of iCloud. However, I lost all my photos, notes, contacts, and all the app data in the 140+ apps that were in there. I am pretty sure there is no solution for this problem but I'm just putting it out there. This is my last sliver of hope.

    hello, i have the same problem as you, did you back up before iOS 5? so, you your situation is, that you have an empty, iOS 5 ipod, with the apps, but no game data, no notes, contacts, photos etc. ? ive got the same problem, did any of your apps disappear by any chance? if you backed up before update, use that, if not, i suggest restore to the oldest back up you have, but the newest back up you had before iOS 5, its better than an emptry ipod, hope i helped.

  • Where can i find the pictures from massager?

    Hello, i have a little problem, i can't find my imassanger pictures in a folder or sth else. Where can i find the pictures?
    Thanks for help:)

    It takes a few steps but it's doable.
    Start with the contact. Tap edit. Tap edit under the photo. Tap edit photo in the window that opens, take a screen shot. Tap outside of the photo, tap done.
    Now we go to Camera Roll.  Choose the screen shot you just took. Tap edit. Put two fingers on the photo and separate them to enlarge it. Take another screen shot. Squeeze the photo back to normal size.
    Your photo is ready.
    Why they don't just save the contact photo in the first place I'll never know.

  • HT1386 Where can I find my backup contact list

    We shared an icloud back up with my daughter & she deleted contacts from her phone which ended up deleting my husband's very important contacts. Even on the cloud they are gone. I would have thought it would take more than just one deleting on the phone for the contacts to be completely erased but that seems to not be the case. When trying to restore his phone I can't even get the contacts back. I have spent 3 days trying to do this & find his contacts but no luck.... Are they hidden somewhere on itunes maybe? Where might I be able to find his contacts? Please help!

    When you share an iCloud account any actions taken on one device (such as deleting contacts) are mirrored on all other devices sharing the account.  (That's what iCloud is desiged to do; sync changes to all your devices.)  Unfortunately, contacts are not included in the iCloud backup as they are assumed to be stored in your iCloud account.  If the contacts are no longer on icloud.com, you will have to find another backup source to recover them from.

  • Under "show package contents," where can I find edited photos from Photos app?

    Hi everyone!
    I'm getting used to the new Photos app on Mac. In the Finder, under "Show Package Contents" (from the Photos library) I am able to see a folder titled "Masters" which has all of the original photos that I import into the Photos library.
    I edited some of these photos in the Photos app, and put them into an album. Where, under "Show Package Contents" can I find the edited photos in this album? I looked in all the subfolders but can't seem to find them.
    Thanks in advance.

    Have a look at this: It was written about iPhoto but it's about 95% accurate for Photos too. The first one is the one I'm thinking  about:
