I downloaded a trial version of an e book from Handmark. I did a hot synch and had a fatal error and was forced to do a hard reset. I trashed all parts of the download but am still unable to hot synch. I receive the message: SystemMgr.c,Line:5852, SysLinkerStub(): Failed to load the shared library.

I have successfully hot synched under a new user name but that is no good to me as I have none of my data, which includes about 20 medical text books that I cannot redownload.

Please help. I desperately need my Palm for work.

I have written to Handmark but will probably not hear from them for ages.
Oh yes, there is another Palm user on this computer with a Tungsten T5 but we have different data.

Thank you



I am using a Tungsten T3 and MAc OSx
 
Not sure the exact folder structure Palm uses for Mac OS.

I might be wrong, but I would think that Palm would adopt a file organization on a Mac similar to that on a Windows PC.

If that is so, and if you do not already know where on your hard disk your Palm personal files (under your original sync name) are, you might want to do some exploration.

Once you have found where the Palm files are, search further for a folder with your original sync name.

There might be a sub-folder names Backup or Archive.

Go into the Backup and search for the relevant files of folder related to your medical textbooks and other data and applications.

Copy the files to an SD card. To make the job easier, create a special folder on the SD card. Then put the card on your T3. Use a file utility (example - Filez) to copy the files in the special folder to your T3 memory.

If everything is OK, your data (and application(s)) would be accessible on the T3.

Good luck.
 
Once you do get it straightened out I would HIGHLY suggest that you use NVBackup (freeware) or similar to make a backup of your T3 onto an SD card. HotSyncing is famous for getting your PDA into a screwed situation. Backing up to an SD card with NVBackup is virtually foolproof for making a completely restorable backup of the entire PDA. And, you don't even need a computer to backup or to restore.
