maddog hoek Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 favourites.dat in the igo/user/userdata/save folder. it may be in the apl2/user/userdata/save now that I think of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BorisM Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 favourites.dat in the igo/user/userdata/save folder. it may be in the apl2/user/userdata/save now that I think of it. My Flash Disk\User\UserData\iGO EZRider from 3 picks up favorites.dat from 2.0 just fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LeoCrow Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 well, on my unit, my favourites were lost after the update (legit). Maybe because i clicked not to keep my boot screen. Anyway, thanks for the info, i will try to restore them from my backup Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you have the backup, just restore favorites.dat and you should be all set though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My Favouites tab simply does not come on after the update....it is not highlighted so cannot click on it altogether... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dericn Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 My Favouites tab simply does not come on after the update....it is not highlighted so cannot click on it altogether... This is because your favorites.dat got overwritten with the upgrade, so there are no favorites saved. As explained, you need to take the favorites.dat file from your backup (you DID make a backup, right?) and copy it to the /user/userdata/save folder in MY Flash Disk. -Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jojool Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 hm, might be a stupid question, but still: Did you ever add any favs and if yes, how exactly did you do it. You don't happen to look for the recent adresses? Those are in a different file - unfortunately I don't know, but it will be in save-folder and the name will content "recent" - I suppose.
