Help recover lost memos in Palm OS by Access 6.4.0

Hello

I use Palm OS by Access 6.4.0 Desktop software. I used to use a Palm Zire handheld computer, but now to store all my notes and contacts on the desktop version. I opened the software Palm OS today to discover that all my memos are not displayed. When I look in the Palm Desktop under 'My Documents' file I see the following:

MemoPad.bak that shows as a file BAK - modified 08/05/2012

MemoPad.bak.back that shows as a file BAK - modified 08/05/2012

Notebook (no extension file on this one) shows a file "Microsoft Access" - modified on 12/06/2014

MemoPad.mdb.bak that shows as a BAK - modified file on 01/06/2014

UiPrefs.dat which shows as a DAT file - modified on 13/06/2014

The memo files were visible and functional the last time I recall to work with them, who were around June 1, 2014.

Any suggestions on how I could do to get back my notes?

Any help would be appreciated!

OK, looking at my Palm Desktop memo files, I have the same files, but the size of the files is all the same!

As you can see "Memo" in Palm Desktop, I would skip the first suggestion.

First thing to do: copy the entire folder "Memo" somewhere else for safety.  Close to Palm Desktop, if it is still open.

(BTW, you should ALWAYS close the program Palm Desktop 6.2.2 before turning off your computer!)  This version has a known bug in data loss if the execution of the program and the computer is turned off.)

I use Windows 8.1, but I think that the file Explorer has the same appearance.  Open Explorer files on your computer, access the Memo file, then click on 'View' in the menu bar.   Look to the right of the option and see if the "file name Extensions" is selected.  If this is not the case, check it.

Now, look at the files.  We will rename two of them.

Change:

MemoPad.mdb (the file without extension) to MemoPad.OLD

MemoPad.bak to MemoPad.mdb

Now re-open Palm Desktop and cross your fingers!    Let me know what happens.

    I don't have the installation path for the instance of WIndows 7 is c:\pgm files x86\Palm and also noted information has been written for C:\users\me\OneDrive\MyDesktop\Palm OS Desktop

    The installation directory is strange - I agree that could be the source of the problem.

    On the laptop ready Win8.1, I have the HP (for my participation in the Forums), the directory is:

    C:\Users\ < I > \Documents\PalmOS Desktop

    I backup the user data, uninstall Palm Desktop, and then reinstall and pay attention to where she has choices.

    A clean uninstallation may be necessary:

    These instructions are for Vista, but should work for Win7.

    You first need to you a copy of your data to have just in case something happens. You can find your data files by clicking on start-> Documents-> Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop user name and right click and copy. Then go to the desktop of your PC, click on a blank spot block and select.

    If this is the first time, you install Palm desktop and encounter a problem, go to the previous step. If you are not concerned about your data at this stage, go to the next step.

    Now, you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove anything that has to do with Palm Desktop on your computer. Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below. [C:\Program Files\Palm or C:\Users\[Vista Palm connection name] \appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or PalmOne C:\Users\[Vista Login Name] \appdata * note you may need to show hidden folders to join appdata. To do than to go into your control panel and open folder options. Go to tab and uncheck hide hidden files.

    When you use Palm desktop 6.2, look in my documents or documents and delete the folder Office of PalmOS. It is the location of the PD 6.2 data files.

    Once this is done, you will need to remove certain keys in the registry of your PC operating system.

    Word of warning, go here and removing the wrong thing can cause your PC to start, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel that you are not sure of yourself, see if you have a friend who can help you or a PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to remove. To make sure that we have a good copy of the current registry, we make a backup of the registry.

    Go to start on your PC in the search box type "regedit.exe" without the quotes.

    Point peak COMPUTER, go to file-> Export. Should appear with a save as box. Current place of residence is fine, must be within My Documents, or save to a location that you will remember. In the name of the file in low type "backup [todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Then, the most difficult part.

    The best way to ensure that your work with the right key, select the key that is installation quick palm and press delete on your keyboard. You will be asked, you of course. Say Yes. Do the same for all the 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 the theses reg keys will not be here, but if they remove them)

    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer * Robotics\Pilot Desktop HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. * 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

    Then, restart your computer.

    Then, reinstall your Palm desktop and do a hotsync. If request you a user name, enter the name that is on your device in the upper right of the screen to hotsync.

  • How to recover lost e-mails (partial) after compressing files

    I use windows XP sps, three days ago, I made an oulook express process of compressiom files, after that a windows command prompt I was asked to do.

    Unfortunately, some of the emails (Jan. 2011 - August 2011) was found missing in outmail storage file, after the file compression. I think they were

    automatically removed during the compression of files. Although I found a backup (master) folder in the trash, I still can not return emails lost after running

    recovery in the trash. Can someone help me recover lost emails?

    For your information: until the compression of files - outmail storage folder size is approx. 1.2 GB / after compression: 827 MB

    Thank you

    OE does not compress.  It compact, which means that it removes the space in the file.  This should be done regularly, otherwise it will be too fat and become corrupted, what happened to you.

    See point 2 here: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2 and you can try to manually import the file bak (just give it another name - see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm).  If this does not help, then my DBXpress program (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/) may be able to recover lost messages.

  • Upgrade Plam Desktop app for Palm Desktop by ACCESS

    Have tried to move from Palm Desktop on Vista (Tungsten T) again Palm Desktop by ACCESS that came with a new Centro, I get the message "File in use" during the installation process.  The message is this: the following applications use files should be updated by this Setup. Close the application and click Retry to continue - Windows Explorer (process Id: 1716).  1468, yesterday.

    Explorer does not at least visibly.  Yesterday, I ignored this process and passed, but something seems to have gone wrong.  I was not able to sync.  Information about Palm Desktop was missing.

    From TT to Centro, I probably have to give up 3rd party applications, but move all the other data (contacts, calendar, Memo, etc.) for Centro.  The tech guy that I was talking last night could not help me and told me to call someone who is familiar with the Palm.  Someone at - he meets a similar problem?

    Yes, you will need to update the Docs To Go to 10 or save the files in 2003 for use on the Centro with the current version of the DTG.

    Regarding the 3rd party app, the Centro is a newer and improved performance compared to the T.

    The Centro has 4 times the internal memory at T has.

    If you wish, you can first try to install it on the map and see if there are performance problems. If this isn't the case, then stay on the map. If it seems slow, install in the main memory of Centro.

    I run Palm TX on desktop PC Windows XP with Palm Desktop 4.1.4 and laptop Windows Vista business - no problem with the Xp machine

    Palm Desktop by Access 6.2.2 worked but now only shows the multimedia options and install - everything else like calendar and address book does not appear. Installation of the Tools Option shows only the media as Start Up application while the Synchronization Manager Hot shows like (such as calendar and address book) checked (selected) and synchronize files.

    First of all, I used the repair option of access, then the option remove access and followed by a relocation of access etc, but access see the only media and install.

    I had tried to get the Palm TX to run the Bluetooth and WiFi on the Vista laptop without success and removed the battery Bluetooth BlueSoleil and Driver v2.6.0.1 and succeeded him. I did see if Palm would work with another usb Bluetooth key and solve another problem. It is at this point that I noticed that Palm Desktop by Access did not show the normal functions. I rebooted BlueSoleil and I still have that media and install it on the Palm Desktop.
