  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  What you need to do is to find, on your PC, the IPD file created when you backed up. Search your entire hard drive *. IPD. Then use this file as the source of a restoration of your new BB (choose ONE of these KB, depending on the version of the RIM Desktop software you have already installed on your PC):

  • KB10339 How to use BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.3 to 5.0.1 to restore data from a BlackBerry smartphone from a backup file

  Good luck and let us know!

• BlackBerry Smartphones Can I edit my Contact list of my PC?

  When I connect my BB 9800 to my laptop I don't see the list of contacts on my BB using Windows Explorer.  I would like to be able to do this because my Contact list only contains phone numbers (a report of my previous cell phone) and I want to add email addresses.  I have a lot of entries to change and it would be difficult with the keys of BB.

  If I can't do it while only connected to my BB is there a way I can do a "Contact list" on my PC and then export it to my BB?  Thank you, Peter

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  A few things to discuss... so bear with me...

  (1) contrary to others how things, RIM does not provide desktop PIM. Others force you to use their PIM and only their PIM. RIM provides a driving software that works as a bridge between your PIM and the BB. See this compatible PIM KB:

  • KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager to synchronize

  (2) RIM provides a device switch Wizard to migrate from another SmartPhone to a BB... but only for compatible devices. See this KB:

  • KB05459 How to use the switch device Wizard to switch to another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone

  (3) If your old phone is not compatible with the wizard, then RIM more offers the possibility to import ASCII and CSV files. See this KB:

  • KB04312 Create and synchronize with an ASCII export file
    KB11194 How to import contacts from a CSV file to the BlackBerry
  • Sorry, but RIM does no research on how to get your data from your old device and in ASCII format or CSV... it is a function of your old device.

  So your choice is, IMO, to continue to use a desktop PIM for your data (and you should, IMO)... then choose a compatible PIM (from above). Then download your data from your old device and the PIM Office. Next, configure the BB to sync with the PIM:

  • KB17022 How to configure applications to Organizer for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager

  Good luck and let us know!

• BlackBerry smartphone how to change view Contact to see category / group records only

  Hi everyone, just got my first BlackBerry.

  The Bold (9000) is the best screen.

  To be honest, I was anti-BlackBerry when they first came out.

  Did not like the feel of plastic.

  Now that the "BOLD" is here, and for some time, finally I turned.

  After using it for only a week, I must say, I am very impressed and now intend to continue to use it.

  I will also continue to have a second very basic phone.

  I thought that most of the things, even added many additional services, most of them style of Google.

  SE BIS, soon change BES to access our new SBS Exchange work.

  Even some of the most difficult functions, services and settings can be solved for me.

  I do not work in a dealership take Optus, mainly focused on business.

  On the issue...

  Is it possible to get your hands (first / default) connect with view to display the 'files' only category.

  I really wish I could open my contacts, select my category, then search.

  For me, it would be so much easier.

  For example. CONTACTS-Office-Steve

  or CONTACTS-family-MOM

  or CONTACTS-friends-David

  or CONTACTS-Optus-Wireless Technical Support

  This would save search me, especially since some contacts may have a different name, then I expect first (for example, 'hundreds' of Optus numbers, can be 'Pre-activation ULL' or 'Fixed installation support line')

  I guess he will have to show contacts that have not been assigned to a group (category).

  If these contacts have been enumerated below the category records, it would be ideal (for me).

  Perhaps, even if there was a possibility to classify them with the records of the category FIRST then all contacts in alpha?

  I know that a contact can be assigned to several categories (very useful).

  If this isn't an option, are there any recommended additional applications that can do this?

  I hope as clean and efficient as BlackBerry original aps.

  A few years ago, I used a Windows based mobile/PDA.

  To get more out of it, I also installed several aps SPB.

  Ultimately if an additional access point is required and is not free (IE must buy), it would really need a trial period.

  Thanks to anyone for ANY Advisor.

  I'm happy to be part of a more professional group.

  Ian

  This option as a view is not available on the BlackBerry, and I'm not aware of any third-party application to do, there could be.

  One option would be to name all your groups in such a way that they would appear first in your Contact list.

  As instead of naming a group of 'Friends', you would be the name "." See list Friends"with a period at the beginning, which will force this group name to the top of the Contact.

• Errors of blackBerry Smartphones My World ' year error occurred while updating your application list.

  Whenever I select my world of the web page, I'm prompted for my blackberry id username and password, if I get the right user name and the password that it continues to ask me for my credentials, everywhere else looks that I am enrolled in fine with my code. On my Blackberry, I get the error "year error occurred while updating your application list" when I opened my world. I contacted Rogers for support and they told me that I have to contact Blackberry

  Edit: I already tried ALT RST. And I tried different phones as well. Using a different ID for Blackberry works fine.

  Rogers took a week to move to the Blackberry on that. It was a bug in version 3 of App world that they felt was set at 4, I am now the 2nd person to report in the last two weeks.

  Basically, I've had too many blackberries and too many applications in my App World and the list is time when pulled.

• BlackBerry Smartphones adding and deleting e-mail addresses

  I have a blackberry Bold 9930, who delivered to me by my company.  They put in place so that I had received my email to work.  Later, I added my personal e-mail for this.  It has worked well for over a year.  Then one day, I accepted by mistake an upgrade from Verizon.  I've lost everything.  My company technicians were able to restore my ability to receive my work email, but I was not able to restore my personal e-mail.  When I put in place, it shows that I have two e-mail accounts - business (which is my work email) and the internet e-mail account.  However, when I try to open the internet e-mail service - nothing happens.  I can't delete it or change.  As an option, I tried to set up a third e-mail, but cannot enter the internet e-mail service.  Many reflected on the blackberry because they don't understand why it won't work, but have not been able to understand.

  Suggestions - thank you!

  Try to go to www.blackberry.com/integrate using the browser and see if you can integrate this way. The personal e-mail account should actually still be there, and you have to only return service directories.

  I would like to know how does the browser method.

• BlackBerry Smartphones, please help to restore contacts wiped on Bold 9900

  Hello

  I had a few problems with apps on my BB Bold 9900 smartphone and erased all the data. Now I'm trying to restore the list of contact., but there are some difficulties:

  1 - I don't have a backup on my computer - I have not yet installed the BlackBerry Desktop Software.

  1.1 - I tried to install the Desktop software now, but the download is not available to the Canada

  2. I remember, I signed up for automatic backup of my contacts and messages on the BlackBerry server, but I can't understand, how to synchronize now.

  2.1 - can be one of the reasons is that my phone is not connected to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and I do not know how to connect it.

  Thank you

  Try this: on the phone go to settings and click on email accounts.  It will look like the first screenshot of the site.

  http://helpblog.BlackBerry.com/2011/09/set-up-BlackBerry-7-email/

  Click e-mail accounts

  Click your e-mail account

  Choose Edition

  Scroll and click synchronization options to decompress.  You see the contacts box?  If so, check if it is not.

  It may ask for your password after making the changes.  Save and return to the home screen.  I don't know how your email was before installation.  Try a few different options.

• Synchronization of Contacts from blackBerry Smartphones is blocked after 8 contacts

  Hello

  I have the BB Bold 9700 OS 6, I am using blackberry Desktop SW version 7.1.0.37.

  When I synchronize my contacts with Outlook, the synchronization is blocked in:

  ""progresses.

  The BlackBerry address book data updating

  updated 8 497 records

  I tried to update SW BB (it happened also on the old version of SW SW BB) but it did not help.

  All other synchronizations are successful (e.g., calendar...).

  It seems that the problem is in my Black Berry because it takes a long time to get into 'contacts' after synchronization

  Note that little contacts in Hebrew

  I also have a screenshot that I can send it.

  After sunchronization when I enter my contact with the BB I get the following error after a few minutes ' exception application net_rim_bb_addressbook_app eception (265) does not interrupted ", then I can enter contacts and I see that 7 contacts have been added, but I can't do it in them (I get the same error)

• Shutdown of blackBerry Smartphones adding + when a call from address book

  Hi, I have an 8830 from Verizon, and I am currently in China. I use a local prepaid card of SIM of China mobile and it works fine. China mobile phone numbers start with 13XXXXXXXXX. I recorded a number in the address book (for example 13888888888, without country code), but when I open the contact and select the call number 13888888888, one more is added when he calls the number that looks like this + 13888888888... of course, this way the phone makes a call to the United States, which is not what I do. To work around this problem, I need to save the number as 8613888888888, so that when the sign is added, he finds the appropriate country code and the Chinese dial without problem, or save the number as + 8613888888888.

  But I don't want to fix all change all the numbers, and I want to know why it is adding the most? Y at - it an option to disable this feature?

  For info, if I [i] call [/ i] the number manually as 13888888888 instead of calling it the address book, it does not add the most...

  Hi saab_rider and welcome to the BlackBerry Forums
