Help blackBerry smartphones, I've lost all my contacts!

OK, so I just installed new software on my Storm 9500 (Version 5.0.0.451) and now I've lost all my contacts.

As far as I know they have been stored in the Blackberry Desktop Software, how do I now restore them?

Hello!

KB10339 How to restore data from a backup file to a BlackBerry smartphone

If you don't know where is the backup file, search your entire hard drive for a file with an extension of the RPI (*.ipd). Inspect the results - mainly date/time of the file. Select the candidate most likely and use it as a source in the above procedure.

Good luck!

  • BlackBerry smartphones, I've lost all Bbm Contacts

    Hi, can someone help me please? It seems to me losing all my bbm contacts, even though I've done quite a few backups before, even I did with Blackberry Protect. I am at a loss here.

    All this happened when I changed service provider. I had previously asked if this was going to happen and there was the answer No. All asudden yesterday (one day after the switch), I was on the road and all my contacts disappeared. I tried the support through Blackberry Protect to no results.

    Help, please.!

    PS I see some ".bak" in "file backup" and a "bbm.db" one step backward, if that helps.

    Well, Thx, I crossed the .bak files and found an old copy of backup who had contacts. I had to manually select the items to RESTORE well. I have verified that BBM related files. I resolved to the fact that it's the best I can do. My contacts I added said that I disappear from the list here, I guess they were not visible from my end. So I guess that the rest will be re-add me in due time.

    Once again thanks for your response.

  • BlackBerry smartphone how to save all my contacts on my Sim Card

    I just bought a new curve and can't find a way to transfer all my contacts on my sim card at the same time.  The gentlemen at the store told me it was possible.

    It is not possible to move all contacts from the SIM card at the same time. You can copy the address book to Blackberry SIM, but not conversely.

  • Help blackBerry Smartphones! I lost my e-mail icons

    I removed my Sim Card (and the battery of course) to test another phone.  When I replaced both and turned on my ATT BlackBerry "BOLD", my 2 Email account icons were passed many times the original shortcuts and then menu the full menu of the icon.  I went to the configuration and e-mail accounts are still displayed as active.  I even deleted and restored one of the accounts, but the situation has not changed.

    A fact, I hid sort icons?  Anyone know what could be the problem?

    Everything else seems to work ok.  That said, the profiles icon has disappeared at the beginning but reappeared when I plugged the phone on the charger USB (why would it?).

    If you do not have a previous backup:

    Connect your new device to the USB port and run the BlackBerry Desktop Software.

    Click device > restore.

    You will see the most recent backup file as well as all the old files listed in the upper window.

    You can choose to restore ALL or SELECT specific databases to restore in the choices under the window.

    Go from there.

  • My screen blackBerry Smartphones has been frozen all day? Help, please!

    Okay so I recently bought a blackberry 9800 torch of my friend, its not in poor condition but it has a few scratches on it. the phone also worked well for her.

    This morning, installed an app to rename my files of music, called MTagz or something like that

    directly after the installation, a grey box with a blue loading circle sign and the word loading it appeared. I thought he'd go after a while, but long story short, he didn't.

    Ive tried to restart and turn my phone off, then on, but it won't work. If I could, I would like to uninstall the app, but my phone is completely insensitive.

    I can enter my PIN and password, but as soon as the shoes at the same time the touch screen home screen and keyboard do not work. I can also press the menu button to switch between windows, but when these windows open again I can't do anything.

    Thanks for your help

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Given your procurement method, I recommend that to start here:

    • KB05099 Steps to take before selling or after the purchase of a used BlackBerry smartphone

    Ensure that all measures are properly carried out in order to completely divorce the BB from accounts of friends and thus to be able to create entirely what you need for you alone.

    Regarding your question as stated, I recommend that you try to start safe mode:

    • KB17877 How to start a smartphone BlackBerry in Mode safe

    It will take several attempts to get the combination of keys ESC (press/release/hold) OK, so be patient. When properly in Safe Mode, see what happens.

    If the behavior continues, then well... think what happened just before this behavior started? A new application? An update? A theme? Something else? Think carefully that the slightest change can be causal... and try to undo all that was.

    But if the behavior continues mode without failure, you may need to consider more drastic measures - WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload and the process of reloading OS 'skeleton '. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup of your PC... Please see the Backup link in my sig auto on this post for instructions.

    Hi steveabenton and welcome to the Blackberry Forums

    (A joke) The latest generation of Blackberry devices is smart, in an emergency situation if you need save your wife or your son, you prefer your son right?, ok, your new device too.

    If you shared a number with two contacts, the unit displays the id for the first contact that you created on the device using that number.

    My suggestion, remove the number of home for your entry of son.

    If you need anything else just ask, you are welcome.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can I reinstall all my lost contacts?

    Hello

    My very first post. I'm not an irritable person. I tried to download an app on the App World and he asked me my device password. I had to put a new password with the help of a line technician of BB. Once I did she erased all my data, contacts and all my emails. Is there anyway to get to the less back all my contacts list? I don't care the emails.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I can't say for sure, but it sounds like a device WIPE has occurred, for one reason or another (I can't tell why). But, despite everything, once WIPED, all data disappeared from the BB. Therefore, only a recovery can send the data back to your BB. But to restore, you must have a source from which to restore.

    If you use the app FREE BB protect, you can restore from there. If you have never used the desktop software FREE to perform a backup on your PC, you can restore and then that. If you use the FREE method to synchronize (USB/BT) with a host PC-based application (for example, Outlook), while your data is there.

    If you use any of these FREE methods to protect you, move you from the latter to the former in that old saying - there are two types of device of calculation... users those who have lost data and those who will do so. Backups, like insurance, are not a reagent or an optional activity.

    Good luck!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones update Blackberry Curve 8310 and lost all data

    Help, please!

    I received a text message that I needed to update my Blackberry Curve 8310 4.3 (I think).  I went to my computer and connected to blackberry.com and did the update.  The message then said that I had to update my Desktop Manager.  I've done both.  But she erased ALL my contacts and data.  No emails and worse still no address. My screen is completely different.  My Office Manager was not my old data.

    It was a bad day, has laid off and now all my contacts are gone.

    If someone knows a way to retrieve my contacts, I would be very grateful.

    Hallelujah!

    It worked!  It's a good day, found the RPI buried on the disk and retrieved.  I must somehow be saved from a month ago.

    Thank you!!!
