Not sure if anyone has had this problem, but here goes. I got a new
PowerBook and successfully transferred all my data from my old
computer (a 2 year old iBook) to the new one and it worked fine. My
iBook had Office installed as well, and it was constantly synched with
my Palm Vx. My new PowerBook is running Mac OS 10.3.1 (Panther) and
Office v.X with all available updates. I traveled for a month with
the Powerbook and entered a lot of new information on the calendar &
address book.
2 nights ago, I decided to get my Palm back into use. So I downloaded
Palm's most recent software (Desktop 4.1) and Microsoft's Handheld
Sync for Entourage (version 10.1.4). After installation of both, I
plugged in my Palm Vx and started a sync.
It took a long time, and ran into errors twice, but when done, the PDA
had completely overwritten (yes, that means erased) all of my new
information in Entourage. It erased all of my calendar appointments,
all my new contacts, changed contacts, and all of my new tasks.
I checked the settings and they were on the defaults, which from prior
use, was that the newer information from either platform overwrote the
older information.
How did this happen? Is there any way to retrieve my old information,
or is it gone forever? Can anyone provide any useful suggestions?
Thanks,
Charles
