Lost Palm Zire 21 Calendar

19 years ago

I did a hot sync on my Palm Zire 21 and noted that for some reason the calendar sync was taking a long time, that was, it appears, because the sync was erasing all calendar entries on the Palm Zire and on the Computer desktop. Is there some way to recover from a bad sync of the calendar. Other functions, memo, contacts, seems to be ok.

Jerry, You might try posting your question on the Brighthand forum. I put the link for the z22 forum below, but you should be able to find the forum for Zire21 also. I hope there is a solution to your problem!

Here is a link that might be useful: Brighthand Forums

Steve,

Thanks, after viewing the Brighthand Forums information I decided to join the forum, just did so. I made a detailed post there, if they help me I'll summarize here on this forum in case anyone is just reading "along".

It's Heeerre...Ponders with OCD pets photo contest!
Q
Comments (124)
The contest is officially over!! and if I can ever get this phat cat photo to cross over you'll see the phat lady sing! Thank you all for the warmth and humor you've shared - I really need it now that we're not going to see 10F for another week. (-30F windchills for the next 4 days - yes, sympathy please). SO! It's up to the judges now, the panel of 4 has their work cut out for them. We're picking 1 winner in the pond (aquarium) catagory, and 1 in the non-pond related catagory. Each winner will have $25 donated in their pet's name to HSDM. And as I've told the judges, every photo here is fair game, because while some photos are of the pet involved in their OCD behavior, other pix are of the pets and the stories are of their OCD behavior. And, yes, the owner's OCD! We're all family here and a picture of Aunt Mable snoozing in the Lazy Boy may bring up fond memories of that great Thanksgiving when she got a little tipsy and fell asleep before the pecan pie! There's often alittle history behind a photo. Winners will be announced SUPER BOWL Sunday! Thanks everybody!

Hi folks... I had a blast today at the swap. It was great fun to see so many long time friends and make some new gardening friends too. We had over 100 people and over 2000 plants for sharing. Awesome! At our first swap in 2001 there were 28 people... it's was so fun to see some of those same people at the swap today. Thanks to everyone for coming with such a kind and sharing heart - that's what it is all about. Everyone seemed to go home with lots of new plants. :-) Murray and I came home with some tomatoes, sedums, lillies, coneflowers and many more. Thanks so much. Of course, thanks to folks for bringing a wonderful array of tastey potluck food! I say this every year... gardeners sure can cook and bake. Thanks to folks that donated door prizes. We always get such a neat array of goodies to choose from One last thanks to everyone who came with a kind generosity of spirit. Good gardening to you all! Beverly

Kelli I got the package!!! Woohooo we are gonna fool those little squirrelies. :-) Thank you so much. I love feeding the birds and we do have trouble keeping the squirrels out of the food. My DH thought it was pretty cool too...he is the one that fills them for me. What a wonderful surprise! Plusssssssss it came with binoculars!!!!!! Can't wait until this weekend to spy on some birdies. I had a new guy come to the feeder when we had cold weather the other day. A red breasted sap sucker. Very brightly colored fella. Thanks so much again. You really didn't need to go so far out of your way to do that but it's much appreciated. Your packaging job was perfect. Hey...PS..My last name doesn't have an h in it :-) It's Tompkins! It's one of those names that people often add or drop letters from so no big deal. Just thought I'd let you know.

Modem/Com 3 Busy, where is Com3?
Q
Comments (19)
I did contact Worldnet, twice, via the "Chat". The first time the agent didn't respond when the going got rough. The second time, I may have phrased my question better, they come back with a "canned" fix, for Error 50, bla,bla.. It didn't work. Remember, after the reload of the modem driver I can make one solid connection per boot, e.g., this time. So I went back to Gateway and after a number of good reading fix ideas, including the BOIS check, Gateway has decided to send me a return for repair. Guess there must be a hardware problem. Now my problem is how do I get all my private stuff off the HDD before shipping. My biggest concern is the Palm Pilot Desktop. I will save the Palm files both on the Palm and on a back up drive, then do a defrag to jumble the "free space", I don't have a wipe/erase tool. I think most of the files I have elsewhere are not so sensitive. In any case I don't like sending my HDD out to be in the hands of others.

I joined the Brighthand Forum (Free), and got several quick responses to my question on the Zire. None were a quick fix, but they are knowledgeable responses and three of them pointed me to Palm OS utility software (one freeware, the others inexpensive) that may give me the tools to examine the Palm memory at a basic level and thereby recover "misplaced", not lost, data. The important thing, I think, is to not write anything into the Palm before I make my recovery attempt, it is not enough to save the files system, as known to the Palm OS, I have to preserve the physical memory. When I find the time I'll move forward with one or more of the utilities (unfortunately one has to load the utility which may overwrite misplaced data...ouch!).
