[PALM] Lost Zune, Corrupted Database : How to retrieve adressbook ?

[alban -]

Hi,

Hurried reader ? The question is : how to synch a new Palm with a new
identity in Entourage with an existing synching ³Entourage Storage² file ?

Got time ?

In a precedent episode (topic), the user (me) lost his database because of
the 4 gigs limit, and Entourage proved unable to restart with this identity.
Maybe a 2004, compared to a X version, will be able to, but that¹s for the
next season.

Anyway, the user had a Palm Zire synching to Entourage. He was happy,
thinking it was a solid backup for his adress book. Sadly, this Zire got
lost/stolen 2 weeks before Entourage crashed. Sad story, is it ? Tragic
enough for Hollywood.

I have this ³Entourage Storage² in my Palm identity folder. It contains a
lot of garbish characters when opened with a text/hex reader but also my
adress book. Good good good. But how can I synch it with a new Palm and new
identity ? Don¹t know. Bad bad bad.

Should the Entourage - identity have the same name as before ? Should the
Palm identity be also equal ? Same Zire ? And so on. Before buying, I¹d like
to know.

Thanks a LOT for helping me.

Greetings,
Alban

Thanks a LOT for helping me.

And then remember: Take frequent and regular updates on another
computer, or at least til dvd.

Since you are trying to retrieve data that is in the Palm format you need to
ask on a Palm support group.
