Well, that didn't seem to be the case, as all previous files were gone,
which was even confirmed by the computer saying there was nothing there. I
was just wondering if whatever program that erases the upgrades once their
installed could somehow have awakened and started erasing anything on a card
inside the Apex? But I've used the card since I got the Apex in January,
and never had this happen before. I put new files and folders on it
yesterday, and they're still there this morning, so we'll see.

Hi Peggy,
I have not heard of the Apex eating files. However, I have noticed that
the Apex doesn't always recognize changes made on an SD card if I pull my
card out of the Apex, do some stuff with files on the card using my
computer, and then stick the card back into the Apex. The possibility
occurs to me that the mPower could have the same sort of issue. It might
be as simple a matter as removing the card from your mPower and then
reinserting the card. Put another way, the files may be on the card, but
the mPower may not have refreshed its directory of files on the card from
the last time it saw the card so that it may not know the new files are
present. This is just a guess, but it might work.
Regards,
Jerry

[Braillenote] Has anyone ever had this happen?
Hi, all. I have an Apex at home, and an mPower at work. I've been using
a 512-meg SD card to copy files to and from work and home. So I put the
SD card into my Apex, copy the files I want to take to work, take the SD
to work, then copy files onto my mPower there. This morning I copied a
bunch of files from the Apex onto the SD card, and when I got to work, all
the new files, as well as all the old files I had on the card, were gone.
Since they were there this morning when I copied them to the card with the
Apex, and gone when I put that same card into the mPower just ten minutes
later, I'm wondering if there's a glitch in the Apex software, where it
occasionally eats files. I know it's programmed to erase upgrade files
after an upgrade; could there be a bug in the software that causes it to
go on an erasing frenzy? Or could I just have a bad SD card of romething?
But seeing this happen makes me wonder about things like GPS maps on an
SD card, etc. Will a person set out on a route and find their files gone?
Has anyone had this happen to them? Maybe I'll send a message to
Humanware Support, just to make them aware of what happened, in case they
want to look into it as a possible bug.
Peggy
