BlackBerry Smartphones to find the backup files to restore to the replacement unit

I have problems to find where the Blackberry Desktop Manager is to store my backup files.  A search on my computer for .ipd files shows nothing.  I did a backup of my original device and wants to restore the contacts, calendar, and photos.

Edit: After another attempt at original device backup and restoring the device the Desktop Manager has the restore button grey replacement.  In addition, the device PIN reads "zero" with unit replacement set.

Thanks, the third try was the charm.  The Documents folder was there and the PIN has been finally recognized and restore is complete.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones how access information backup file

    Hello

    I installed the software to version 4.5 and therefore lost all of my pictures and addresses.  I see that a backup file was created (named LoaderBackup-(2010-08-08) .ipd) which is now on my computer.  Is it possible for me to access this file to restore photos and addresses, etc.?  I'm ready to go back to the previous version of the software for it.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

  • Missing language of blackBerry Smartphones entries on the Blackberry Curve 9300

    Hello

    I lived a few problems with my Blackberry Curve 9300 (very slow and low application memory, etc.) and so I decided to restore the factory settings. After that, I restored my backup file but when I finished the configuration and tried to change the input language, the Portuguese file was missing (I only have English and English WE available).

    I have instaled the firware once tried to restore a backup completed yet another, but nothing has worked so far.

    You have any other suggestions? I am really annoyed at this...

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    From your post, I can't say whether you have followed all the necessary procedures. Therefore, you might need, some, or none of this...

    Language support on a BB is a combination of:

    1. Installation on your BB, a bundle of BONES which includes the language of your choice
    2. Including, in this installation, the language you want (two locations, I recall)
    3. Activation, on the BB, the language of your choice

    So, please, start here... it's how you choose the package operating system appropriate for your needs:

    • KB05305 Location of support for BlackBerry smartphones

    Then choose your package via this Portal:

    Then, from a PC, you can install any compatible OS package (for example, for your BB model number) to a BB via this procedure:

    Note Although written to "recharge" and the storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade or recharge any BB device model - depends on the operating system package you download and install on your PC. If this OS package comes from one carrier other carrier for which your BB was built, then remove, on your PC, all copies of the SELLER. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    Don't forget that you remove, since your PC, any other BB OS devices as packages with more than one installed on the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.

    If you are on a MAC, you are limited to only your sanctioned carriers OS packages... but can still use any level they currently have to sanction. See this procedure:

    I tried to reboot my device by removing the battery and reinsert. The restart process gets to about 60% of the way through and then stops. On the screen, the white line, showing the progress extends just to the right of the touchpad with about 1 cm to complete.  I tried to connect to the Fund Manager, but it does not detect the phone in this State. Any ideas. Can it be linked to the level of battery power?  Clearly a software problem. Is it possible to go beyond this crash?

    You need to back up only the information that you entered in the device memory.

    For example, your address book (contacts).

    Below there are links that show you the steps for the backup. Each link points to a screenshot.

    (Backup and Restore) selected in Blackberry Desktop Manager

    Window [backup and Restore]

    Selective backup

    Selective backup shows the following selected data to save:

    1. Address book
    2. Address book options
    3. Calendar
    4. Calendar options
    5. Memos
    6. SMS messages

    If you want to save another information - right, select it in the list on the right and click on the "Left arrow" button on the window of dialogue, to transfer the list item selected in the list on the left.

    When you click on 'Close' button the Blackberry Desktop Manager offers to save the *.ipd file to a specific location.

    This file contains all the data.

    If you have any questions - feel free to ask.

    Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most defects and errors of operating system, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.

  • BB blackBerry Smartphones and now the BBM upgrade does not

    I've upgraded to the new version of BB (I think version 5?) two days ago.  Yesterday, I could not find my BBM icon.  At out the battery, etc... Didn't come back (even if it was listed in the application list).  I reinstalled via the BB App World and then had my contacts through backup.  Today, it is not letting me send BBM and if someone sends me a BBM they get an X.  Everything else seems to work very well (Im' getting emails, etc...).  I also did a soft reset (output battery) - nothing has changed.

    Anyone encountered this problem and know how to solve? Thank you.

    With the BlackBerry turned on, disconnect the battery for a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    If it still does not work:.

    On your BlackBerry device, go to:

    1. options > advanced > host Routing Table > Menu > register.

    2 send your service from your carrier's BIS site books:
    Of your handheld: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402

    Go to the Personal Email Set Up icon and sign. Then under help!, select Service books and select send service books.

    Your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
    North American carriers - scroll down to select your carrier
    Carriers worldwide - find your operator from the list

    3. with the BlackBerry device powered time, remove battery for a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart. This restart, even if you have already done this, is often necessary to install the service books.
