Hello from blackBerry Smartphones and SOS: address book cannot be restored via BB Desktop Manager

I am an absolute techtard who was simply trying to free up memory card space so I can transfer songs on my BB to my iTunes on my Mac and of course fixing a problem leads to another and it really starts to avalanche.

Would be very grateful if anyone can help, here goes:

Technical specification:

Unlocked Pearl 8120, v4.5.0.55 (Platform 2.7.0.68) software, I don't know if this is relevant, but I'm using this in Hong Kong.

How I messed up:

1 tried to format media card, but he refuses to let me do if BB is hooked to the Mac or offshore. Also only went the battery.

2. media checked card: total space is 970 MB and I only left 144KO. Weird because I have a few pictures and notes other than the email service and I just cleaned my cache of box and the browser of sms.

3. delete unnecessary files: a few photos and memos remain, but they cannot take that much space I think

4. search through forum discussions: decided to try cleaning the memory.

5 save address book and address book - all (no idea what the difference is, but all the two doing anyway) on the BB Desktop Manager, saved memos upward as well.

6. permit the garbage collection. Map of recorded media. Status quo.

7 checked another forum thread that says I can, and that you should remove "Address book" of garbage collection service.

8. panic and I tried to remove the 'address book' but it wasn't an option. Decided to clean all other components one by one in the hope to make more room, chose 'Search certificate' and he cleaned my complete address book.

9 returned to BB Desktop Manager, Contact selected and clicked "restore." At both options i.e. full and partial restoration for the address book and address book - all.

My directory is always empty.

Tried to restore my memos too but BB Desktop Manager doesn't show me how do or no results under the help section of return. Mode techtard true, then check my memos - always there. Phew. These are emails and sms - are.

Since I am a techtard, I didn't save my address book on my Mac (which would be the next big leap after I synced my BB with my Mac tonight).

So it was back to discussions of the forum again and I saw one that said "uninstall the RIM DTM software, then reinstall it" of sdgardne. I do not have this stuck under his wire because I'm dead desperate for some attention, so I thought I would start a fresh appeal for help instead.

My fear is that if I uninstall the software RIM DTM, then I'll lose all my addresses and memos. Isn't it based? Are there other solutions at all?

I apologize for this long a spiel but I hope that the information could be useful to anyone who is kind enough to accumulate his brain to help out me here.

Thanks heaps!

Hi JSanders,

Obstacles such as a switch office of personnel IT delayed my thanks for your advice... I didn't have any backup and has been quietly sad / happy for a few days for the sudden wipeout so miraculously reappeared all addresses.

My outgoing HE said guy thanks to my Mac office and Outlook software - it was not very useful and does not specify because it was really flooded in his last days at work. New this GUY was looking to highlight a little so it took me a while to understand how save my address book (BB Gmail and Apple address book) and empty the memory card (multimedia card somehow reformatting tried-tested-guaranteed solution) escaped me.

So everything is in working order, very much appreciate your advice and IrwinII too! Keep well!

  • Address book of BB to sync blackBerry Smartphones with the address book of MS Outlook 2007

    I want my blackberry contacts to sync with outlook.

    My email is with more than yahoo and my account is configured for messages forward both my blackberry and my outlook on my PC at home.

    When I sync my bb my bb and yahoo address book syncs, but outlook does not work.

    I have the new storm and outlook 07.  Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Thank you.  I had been in the Office Manager several times try to configure how to synchronize my contacts.  I didn't know you could actaully highlight the address Word Book 1) checkboxes because, then 2) when you run the mouse over your cursor - it is not previously put in highlight letting you know that you can select.  So, long story short once I understood actually clicking on the word would choose what I wanted to change, which would activate the button below.

    Yay.  This works.  Thanks again.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones social RSS/BB Core apps - not available in the Desktop Manager?

    Hello everyone. I'll have a bit of a problem with my Bold 9700 since update to Os 6. (Details attached).

    OS: 6.0 bundle 1676 (v 6.0.0.418) (platform 6.6.0.105)

    Career: Grameen phone (GP), Bangladesh

    Office Manager: 6.0.1.18 (released: December 6, 2010)

    When I connect my BB to the Manager of the Fund, under the 'Applications' tab it does not show any add/del/put option to update the base of BB applications i.e. - BBM, factory installled games or messengers installed (Gtalk, Msn etc.). The only thing displayed are some games/apps I downloaded when I was still with os 5 (attached image).

    I also want to add the stream of 'Social' and I understand that this is only possible through Desktop Manager. But, as shown above there is no option to do so.

    Is it because I'm on an operating system that is not yet certified by my career? Or something else altogether? What is the solution?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Concerning

    Ashraf

    That's the problem with the Office Manager. It will not show the basic BB apps now. To do this, you need to open Loader.exe, a part of the Desktop Manager separately. If you use a windows pc, here's how:
    For x 86 systems:
    C:/Program Files/Common Files/research in Motion/Apploader/Loader.exe
    For x 64 systems:
    C:/Program Files (x 86) /Common Files/research in Motion/Apploader/Loader.exe

    Run it and choose your device, type password if requested and then voila, you have everything you want.

    BB6 updates to 9700, social feeds app and syn music wireless apps are not installed, sometimes also all the BB extra apps such as games like brickbreaker and doc to go are not installed, then use loader.exe to make. Loader.exe can also update your device and let's you choose which you want to install or remove during the process of updating, requesting the dekstop manager now doesnot apps. So better to use loader.exe to update as well. Regarding the upgrade to an operating system not yet supported by your network, unless yu have a problem with your network, that is to say the calls or the internet, keep the last Os because it offers you more.

  • Is blackBerry smartphones there a way to edit your contacts in the Desktop Manager?

    I'm trying to understand how to change your contacts via the Desktop Manager... is it possible?

    So now you have the contacts in Outlook?

    So, edit your contacts in Outlook, get them as you want.

    And then you use the Desktop Manager > Sync > back to your BlackBerry.

    You are doing things.

    You cannot edit contacts directly in Desktop Manager... it doesn't work just like that on a BlackBerry, as users might be accustomed to using a Palm, which has its own separate software to do this. BlackBerry decided not to reinvent the wheel by creating a whole new software, when many many users already have a demand on their PC that does it well.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB 8130 address book and Office Mgr. problems.

    I have a BB 8130 with V. 4.5.0.66 software and use BB Desktop Manager V. 4.6. I have been using this combination for several weeks now.

    A couple of days, I tried to access my address book and all of a sudden it says it's empty. If I try to use Desktop Manager, it never sees the phone even if my computer knows it's there as soon as I plug in the cable.

    If I try to send a text I have to enter the number manually, but as soon as I do and it goes to the screen where I can enter the text, it shows the name of the person that I enter the number.

    If I type a 'B' of the main homepage it evokes all the ads of 'B', and I can dial any number in the list of names and numbers. It's as if the info is there in the address book and yet it still says it's empty when I try to open the address book.

    I pulled the battery 2 times or 3 and nothing changes when it starts up.

    Can someone help me with this problem?

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    On your BB, open the address book > Menu > filter and uncheck the boxes checked.

    Now, check the address book again. A little luck?

  • Volume headset from blackBerry Smartphones and clarity on the curve

    Hi all

    I've been a user of Razr for quite a while and am very close to having bought a BlackBerry Curve of Alltel. Before I do, I really have your contribution to this:

    Because I spend a LOT of time making phone calls and work in a noisy environment, the earphone volume and clarity are VERY important to me. I'm not sure if the curve can give me the benefits of a great smartphone AND a great phone in terms of call quality.

    Can you give me your opinion on the earphone volume and clarity compared to the Razr (I currently use V9) and also if you think that because the tip is located a little further from your mouth against a flip style phone that it might cause problems in a noisey environment. Ive had before cell phones, which were weak in terms of call quality and its REALLY frustrating.

    Thanks again for you input. This will help me make the right decision!

    my best,

    Rick

    of all the greatness that is my BB, the listener and the quality leaves much to be desired.  If the volume is too high, cracking bad.  I use it mainly in the car and have bluetooth through the stereo, so in the car, it is not a problem for me.

  • BlackBerry Desktop Manager Blackberry Smartphones: Microsoft Outlook address book Sync

    Hi all

    I just fixed my computer after a vista fail and have installed microsoft office 2007 with microsoft outlook connector for my hotmail.  I also installed the latest version of BB Desktop Manager, however when I try to set up my address book synchronization with outlook (configure > synchronization > sync 'Configure sync to my desktop computer settings'), I get the error Microsoft Outlook Connector, "a default profile is not found."

    I'm not sure what it means, and I'd appreciate any help you can offer!

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    So that the BB to sync with email, it uses the MAPI profile to connect.

    It seems that you do not have a MAPI profile configuration - probably because the Hotmail connector uses a special profile and not a standard MAPI profile...

    You have a hotmail Pop3 account?

    Can you implement a MAPI profile french: Control Panel - Mail

    That should make it work.

    It is a common problem when playing with the address book options and noting is not how they were originally before you changed them.  Here's how to retrieve your contact

    1. open your address book

    2. tap on menu

    3. Select the filter option

    4. you will see business and personal

    5. make sure that they are both unverified

    6 escape to return to the main menu

    7. Select address book

    8. THEY ARE BACK NOW!

  • 'Insert SIM card' blackBerry smartphones and SOS signal - sim and signal error

    Hi, this is my first post so bare with me

    My 9000 "BOLD", which ive had for a lil and now has decided to not give a signal more or even accept my sim card.

    Ive tried a complete cleaning of the handset (and I backed everything up), remove and reinsert the sim card and the good old battery pull but nothing works and the problem is still there.

    my phone is locked to t-mobile and I contacted them to help my problem, but they were dog-disorder absolute!

    What do you think I should do here?

    Thanks in advance

    If your phone don't like your SIM card and won't give you a signal, you should look into getting a phone that makes.

    If you are still in your warranty period, you should walk to your carrier for a replacement.  However, before doing so be sure to do a backup via Desktop Manager.

  • Hello from blackBerry Smartphones - I downloaded Blackberry Apps World and never...

    Hello - I have downloaded Blackberry Apps World and every time I open it it loads then the screen freezes at the homepage and I have to do a soft reset. I downloaded a few times and it happens every time. Also, I got the new 8900 curve and meets all requirements. Your help be appreciated you. Kind regards

    Hello!

    Generally, the first time you launch AppWorld as the first time you go to a category, there is a large amount of data to download. Patience is the key. I found that wait at least 5 minutes for each category of charge completely has helped make his later use more fluid and faster... but the first time was very very slow. It's just the way it works now.

    If this does not help, then please come back on these forums (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/) and create an account so that we can provide direct assistance.

  • Hello from blackBerry Smartphones. I wonder why I can't download Blackberry...

    Hello. I wonder why I can't download Blackberry AppWorld? !!! I tried several times, nothing helps. On the web page, you say there are not available from all the networks, but I think it should be available in the countries where the RIM products are sold. This is outrageous. I need some apps for my Blackberry, and I want to be able to buy them. Thanks for your help. Viktor Seres

    Hello!

    Sorry to say, but if you meet all the conditions of the requirements page you looked at it, then it won't work for you. You did not say, but if you are not in one of the countries listed, it is not yet available for you. I'm sorry that you feel this is outrageous, but that is how it is currently implemented... we all hope that RIM strives to go beyond these constraints, but are the current constraints.

    If you want to discuss this further with other users, please come to the forums (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/) and create an account... then you will be able to chat with other users concerns.

    See you soon!

    Did you try do this of in App World, or by using the browser of your device? Take a look at this link for the other 2 ways you can try to get the application on your BlackBerry - http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/features/im/wlm.jsp


    (2) in my world, I have both installed applications, 1.3 MB and 775 KB, bar displays memory 128 MB but only 26 MB of free space, how?

    You can check the free space on your device by going to Options | Memory. You'll want to take note of the free space of the memory of the Application. All blackberries have a limited amount of memory to install apps. You can try to see how you have new by removing the battery and put it back in. Free space is used to hold the apps as well as the BONES of BlackBerry, so you will never have access to the whole 128 MB

    (3) also in my list of world app shows uninstalled and I can't remove it, I did not need it.
