  Hello and welcome to the community!

  Indeed, these IPD files are backups of your BB and are available as a source of food (they are a proprietary format and cannot be used for any other purpose, except by a few 3rd party applications that have been written to analyse). Choose the most recent one (the one with the most recent date and time, as displayed in the File Manager Windows) using this procedure:

• BlackBerry Pearl 9105 Smartphones, new contacts crash

  I was wondering if someone can help me as soon as I click on the new contacts in the address book that my phone freezes is it what I can do to solve this problem.

  I tried removing the battery and cleaning the sim card but can't make it work.

  Thank you

  Ok. If you updated the operating system, you also would have updated MOST likely one or more of these applications.

  On your BlackBerry, go to Options > advanced > Applications.

  Scroll down and find EACH of those who, as I mentioned, then delete them.

• BlackBerry Smartphones using missing synch for Blackberry Storm - does not contact sync etc.

  Initially, I downloaded pocketmac, who has never worked at all. He even does recognize the blackberry on the mobile icon, so I bought your missing sync for blackberry download.
  I've updated some contacts in the address book and then I set the plugin contact crush the next synchronization only. It did not work.

  He wanted initially to delete all my contacts of device: error more than 5% of your contact records will be changed. So, I followed the steps that provide you technical support for it. backup ical and return on the database and do with the address book then reset isync. I re-entered my AddressBook updated some new contacts and added a few photos to their cards and changed preferences to include the job titles. Then I tried to sync again (after restart and reset blackberry app) he copied on some of the contacts in the address book and others with and without pictures?

  On the blackberry in contacts, some have a space for an image to add and others not, despite me to add photos to the address book.

  Also, I added a map for me because I was instructed to do when I tried to send an invitation ical for a participant to a photo shoot and told me: you must create an address for yourself card in the address book of Mac OS X, but I created a? This means constantly every time.

  I just did the last synchronization, ical appointments worked, but I got an error message at the end saying:
  The calendar that you specified for tasks that are created on the device is no longer exists. Please, open the settings of the plugin dialog box tasks and select another calendar.
  Tasks: There is a problem with the plugin configuration tasks. Please, open the settings of the plugin of the tasks dialog box and make sure that the settings are correct.
  I'm not sure what that means that there is no such thing as the plugin configuration task on the blackberry storm, that I can find.
  Any help would be greatly appreciated and I will pass this on too many other press photographers in London which are all looking forward to register for the new storm, but will probably have much less patience and perseverance than me who happens to start all
  Best regards
  Juliette

  I intend as a result tomorrow when my Storm (could actually be a couple of days, but I promise you, as soon as POSSIBLE). However, on your Mac, in the address book application follow these steps if you do not.

  (1) (to select the map that you created yourself (highlighted)

  (2) in the map menu, select make this card my card

  Just because you created a card with your info is not enough.

  Hope this helps, & hope I can help more as soon as POSSIBLE!

• BlackBerry smartphones new number Contact saved in the field of work

  Hello

  I wonder is anyway so added a new Contact number is saved in the Mobile field instead of field of work? I discovered that whenever I have add a new contact on home screen (by typing the number and click on add to contacts), it is always saved in the work field. Kind of annoying to copy / paste all the time.

  Thanks a bunch...

  Search for "Add number under ' in the MobiHand store. It allows to record the number of the call log with any type of phone.

  Hi, I'm new to the world of blackberry - ask if there is a way to transfer all my contacts from my old nokia to my curve? Or I have to input each one - by - hard - one contact?

  Thank you in advance. S

  Hi and welcome to the forums!

  Usually the seller (Vodaphone in this case) switch them when you buy the unit. I Sue this option first.

  If you use the same SIM which was in the Nokia try the following:

  Import contacts from the SIM card to your contact list

  If this does not work you can try using the Switch Device Wizard in the Desktop Manager software:

• BlackBerry & Smartphones Photos Contact names ceased to show (9650)

  Hello:

  Earlier, I added photos contact to all my BBerry Contacts.  It worked perfectly for quite a while.

  But the last 2 weeks (or more), when I get a call I get no resources and no contact photo.  Just the number, which, if I don't recognize, I'm going to ignore.

  (The reason why I have the names and photos is so I don't have to memorize numbers.  )

  The contact photos are always in my contacts list, so nothing happened to them.  And ss as much as I know I haven't added new applications.  So I'm puzzled as to why they would suddenly stop showing when I get a call.

  Anyone know how I can make them work properly?

  I covered this Council and google for an answer and not found anything.  Thank you very much in advance...

  Hello

  I would recommend to check if you have encryption enabled on the BlackBerry smartphone or press card. Go to the Options-Security Options. If it is enabled, disable it and try again then take out the battery.

  Thank you

• BlackBerry smartphones HELP - CONTACT EXPORT REQUIRED... DEVICE LOST / STOLEN

  I've been a happy customer with an old BLACKBERRY PEARL FLIP # 8220 which was purchased new by my best friend in 2009 or 2010 and given to me by him, in 2012 - 18 months. He was beginning to have some edge left and right keys work less ideally, but it was always my very basic needs: I have an old boy who lives in 6 blocks from work and walk 10 minutes between places... and I use the internet very weakly at work and barely at all, at home, and I really don't need it between these places , so I only have a cheap incredibly good CHAT / SMS plan - without data plan (@<$32 th,="" total="" -="" incl="" tx="" and="" fees!).="" i="" send="" about="" 2-3="" txt-msgs="" (sms="" only)="" per="" day;="" and="" i="" get="" even="" fewer!="" i="" use="" the="" talk="" feature="" maybe="" 1-2="" times="" in="" 2-3="" days.="" i'm="" a="" virtual="" non-user,="" i="" admit.=""  people="" laughed="" at="" why="" i'd="" even="" have="" a="" smart="" phone="" that="" literally="" wasn't="" at="" all="" smart...="" but="" it="" was="" because="" i'd="" admired="" my="" friend's="" phone's="" appearance="" and="" functionality,="" and="" because="" it="" was="" free="" to="" get="" from="" him,="" and="" because="" he="" helped="" me="" switch="" companies="" to="" a="" lower-cost="" plan="" running="" on="" gsm="" (rogers)="" not="" cdma="" (telus).="" i="" didn't="" even="" use="" bbm,="" let="" alone="" any="" e-mail="" or="" other="" internet="" functions,="" games,="" apps,="" even="" gps.="">However, despite these rare and apparently "Mute" use, I got very valuable contacts in the phone that other people envy...) I NEED those.

  The DESKTOP MANAGER version that I got from my best friend when he gave me his old phone is 4.6 v - and he said that it had been updated when he gave it to me. I realize that v6 is now standard (or even more?) and support for older versions disappeared. I also see that this v6 has characteristics which 4.6 do not...

  I backed up before I went to Toronto September 13. I doubt that there is more than 1-2 new contacts, if even that many, who have not been saved. It's as up-to-date as I could understand...

  I'm on ROGERS wireless in the Canada.

  So: I happened to me just to pinpoint a phone no - BB that I like and I bought it with the intention of change when I got some time. I'm moving out of country in one year and I'm slowly getting things in place for this and I was intending to spend a recent phone and thenunlock the BB to have in reserve, but I accidentally lost my Blackberry mid-weeklast week when I went out a taxi... and it may be gone forever now. 3 days only after obtaining the next phone that I had planned to use it, I lost that before I could even spend!  I know that ROGERS has a PHONE FINDER function, but let's just say that wasn't functional in my case... we'll leave it at that.

  So, phone / device gone!

  I hope that someone can guide me to export these contacts that are somewhere, somehow existing / resident in DESKTOP MANAGER v4.6 - in a format that I can then use to not having all the lost forever, and then I can re - load - manually, if need be - on my new phone. I realize that they exist, but not in any format I can see / use, at the present time.

  Can someone help me?  I see forums / discussions and messages that show how to synchronize the device to record for export, synchronize and create a CSV, or save to export to EXCEL, but they that seem to all be configured the DESKTOP MANAGER and THEN sync with the device... I don't have the camera longer... it's gone. I've never done this before because I didn't plan the need... stupid me, I know!

  I can recover the contacts from my DESKTOP MANAGER v4.6 somehow?

  Help?

  Thank you!

  After reading some info on these forums, the ONLY thing I can even think to do is maybe trying to borrow from someone a is no longer necessary to BB and with it wiped THEIR contacts, synchronize it at my DESKTOP MANAGER and then load my contacts on other than BB... and then re-sync the things that BB with the appropriate buttons checked in the DESKTOP MANAGER?  I don't even know if it works... and I don't seem to have access to spare / balls unused of the people... no one I know has one, and still less a 'extra! '

  ?

  Thank you, once again,

  Paul

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  First, find the file to backup data on your computer. It is normally stored somewhere in the area of my documents, but when you performed the backup, you have full control over the destination folder for the backup data file. Given the version of the desktop software you mention, it probably has an extension of IPD file... the newer versions of Desktop software switched to a BBB file extension, but yours is probably IPD.

  Once you find the file, your next step is your favorite internet search engine... the Desktop software is useless for what you do, because it is exclusively an interface with a BB device... nothing else. Search for your favorite Internet for something like "IPD File Extractor" search engine or something similar. There are several out there.

  Compare search results and make your choice - before ask you, the answer is no... We cannot recommend one over the other. You must choose based on your own personal set of circumstances.

  Then, get the software and use it to extract your data from the IPD file and save it in a "readable" format (for example, .txt, .xls, .csv, etc.).

  Once that is done and your data are in a file format that you can use, then your next step is to find what you need to do to import into your replacement unit. Yet once, before asking, nothing here in this forum dedicated BB available to help you with that. But if this device has an import function, then once you have your data in a usable format, you should be able to handle such that you can format to import your new device.

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry smartphones Add Contact Pro app - download problem

  Hi all

  I have the BB 8520 curve. Last week I bought 'Add Contact Pro' on Blackberry app World. After purchase and during the download I received an error and stopped the whole process. The app didn't download. I sent mail to the developer app three times but no response.

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  I suggest that you clear the cache of the AppWorld application.

  For legacy devices (pre-BB10):

  1. open the App World

  2. go to my world

  3. follow one (and only one!) of these steps:

  3. for the BB keyboard-oriented - hold down the ALT key and press on, in the sequence R, then S, then T

  3B. for touch screen only BBs - hold the num-lock (! 123 button) so that it hangs and then press on, in the sequence 3, then 4, then)

  3 c for the most recent (e, g., OS6 and 7) BB s, see this KB:

  • KB24714 How to clear the cache of BlackBerry App World

  4 AppWorld must close.

  5. If your BB locks after issuing clear cache, do a battery pull reboot

  6. return to AppWorld/MyWorld (it can be slow, while it re - sync). .

  If (4) stage arrives not as described, then the empty the cache failed.

  For BB10 devices:

  • KB33818 Applications in BlackBerry World are stuck in a State facility and cannot be cancelled or removed from the download list

  After the empty Cache, then to re - install the app, please see this KB:

• BlackBerry Smartphones BBM Contact Photo white

  Recently, I add a few friends to my Blackberry Messenger contact. The invitation went well. New contact added successfully to my BBM contacts list. But I'm confused why the newly added contact have no picture, even though they claim to have the photo, on the other hand my friend can clearly see my picture. This is not normal occur. My previous friends have photo and the photo are still intact. Only recently added friends are those who cannot show photo in my bbm. Can someone help me solve this problem? Thank you.

  My problem photo contact blank has been resolved. I did nothing. It seems that the server RIM has solve the problem itself.
