Sod. Just lost all data on Palm. If you know anything I'm supposed to be doing anytime soon, please let me know.

Am particularly upset about my list of books I've read :(

What did you do?

[taimatsu]

got it all set up, plugged in, software installed, everything, then turned it on, pressed the hotsync button and it asked for a password, about which I had no clue. So I dismissed the box, then it stopped doing anything and the handheld turned off and would not restart, having presumably really, really run out of juice. There was nothing I could do but replace the batteries, which wipes the data.

Oh dear.

And you've given it new ones and the data is gone?

[taimatsu]

yup.

Sod. You've lost all the data on your Palm.

[taimatsu]

Didn't I just say that? >:(

As a thought - perhaps try hotsyncing before you put new data on, to avoid future repetition of problem?

[taimatsu]

just done it. No password box this time. STUPID TECHNOLOGY and STUPID ME. Ah well. Nothing to serious. possibly a couple of phone numbers gone though.
