Help blackBerry Smartphones with the transfer of contact list

So, here's my problem, I had a Pearl 8130 and beat the trackball on it so it is no longer functional.  I just got my curve in the mail today, and I want to spend all my contacts from my Pearl to my curve.  Whenever I plugged my phone into my computer, I hit "backup".  So, my question is, how I make out of my Pearl?  If they are stored on my computer, which is the file in which they are stored?  I can't seem to find anything anywhere, and there is no my phone contacts in Outlook.  Is there another way to get them off my Pearl that won't require me using my trackball (he has literally disappeared).  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

Hello and welcome to the Forums of Support BlackBerry.com.

Open Desktop Manager > switch Device Wizard. First plug in your old Pearl and follow the instructions you see pass all your data, contacts, etc., from one device to the other. You will have no need of the trackball works for this... just have the Pearl charged and put on the market.

If you want to restore the previous backup, use C: > backup > restore. You may need to open the file > open and navigate to where you saved the most recent backup file (ending in *.ipd).

Good luck.

  • Help blackBerry Smartphones with the upgrade of OS 9360 BB

    Hello all, this "my first post here, so I don't know if this is the appropriate place for this post, but I would like help on my Curve 9360.

    Recently I acquired a need for Japanese input in my Blackberry and made surfing around the net, including this forum for help.

    Later, I downloaded OS for installation, first try 7.0.0.400/jAllLang of WIND Mobile and the second attempt of OS 7.0.0.319 - BlackBerry Handheld Software v7.0.0.1555 (all languages - jAllLang under the recommendation of support forums

    After you follow the steps to "recharge" my OS from "How to reload your OS" thread also said forums that included backup phone, using the BB Desktop Manager and Loader.exe, my phone should still offer the possibility of Japanese input.

    Currently, the software version is 7.0 Bundle 1555 or if the Desktop Manager and my phone shows.

    Note that my knowledge and my issue with this camera is nowhere near competent, so I could probably have messed up somewhere or my technological illiteracy probably mistook me versions of OS and steps.

    Really appreciate any help regarding this, or if any alternative means to get the language. You need to get the Japanese input on the phone as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello! Welcome to the forums.

    Thank you for your question on the addition of Japanese input on your BlackBerry.

    I would like to ask if, the operating system you have downloaded your carrier or a different carrier/country? If not, did you deleted the vendor.xml file?

    If so, I suggest to reconnect your phone on a PC and open the Desktop Manager, click application (it can take moments of loading). There you can see languages and different applications. If there are Japanese it click the small + button next to it and install it.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    If the old BB is really dead, then it is not available as a source for restoring your data to your new device. Instead, you must use another source, one that you created before the old BB died.

    If you made a backup of office, you can use the backup as a restore source file:

    If you were synchronizing with a Desktop Organizer (for example, Outlook), then you can use that as source for restore reconfiguring the RIM Desktop software now work with your new BB:

    As you use BB Protect, is also an available food source:

    • KB25063 How to use BlackBerry Protect to restore data on a BlackBerry smartphone

    You must be sure to connect to, on the new BB, the same BB ID that you used on the old BB. If you have already created a new ID BB on this new BB, then you go to your old ID BB:

  • Help blackBerry Smartphones with Blackberry-contacting

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me.  Curve daughter 9300 has been gel market for a few months, but now is causing major problems.  The only way to fix this is to take out the battery for a while.

    As the phone was less than a year, I brought back to the store where you bought it, he was sent away and took 2 weeks to return.  They initially said that there was no fault with the phone but said then it was not actually watched as the envelope had been changed.  My daughter has managed to break the original envelope, so it has been replaced by exactly the same black case.  They refuse to do anything despite the phone may not be fit for purpose IE does not properly.

    I spent last week, fight with the retailer, but nothing helped, they just isn't any service to the customer and are not interested.

    Can someone advise how to contact Blackberry in the United Kingdom please.

    Thank you very much

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    To answer your specific question... RIM offers zero first line support to end-users, including warranty... all support starts with the carriers, resellers and authorized service centers, all who can degenerate case RIM free of charge for the end user. Contractually, you have no free path to work around the shop, you work with and try any official escalation rim... as your warranty service provider, they have the responsibility to repair your security under its contract terms. I suspect that, when you read your real contract, you'll find that they are indeed correct in their assessment.

    There is something called incident support, but it costs to just ask the original question, since you are not through the contract, you signed at the time of purchase. If you want to study, you can check it out here:

    It is also perhaps a few good reading here:

    But, overall, from your description, I don't hold much hope... If you have cancelled your warranty in effect, it is about the end of it.

    Good luck!

    Have you thought about how you will try that? After all, 'format' is not a same command available on a BB...

    If you decide to go ahead, I recommend a refill of BONE. from a PC, you can install any bundle of BONES to a BB via this procedure:

    Note that although written for "reload", it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or recharge - it depends on the OS package you download and install on your PC. You can even use a different OS package carriers simply insert, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, a file named PROVIDER. XML. remember that you remove from your PC, no matter what other packages devices OS BB as having 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:

    Hi, I had my blackberry since on February.

    My problem is identified because I have the icon on the home page says I have an unread message blackberry (now 2) but when I go into e-mail blackberry I have no new messages or updates.

    In my view, it follows a ask someone to add me to their contact list. However, I don't know this contact. Their name is made up of symbols and of 2 inches at the top of the emoticons. The message accompanying the request is completely in a foreign language which I don't understand the symbols.

    The first thing I did was to ignore the request as it was very suspicious. Since then, I've removed the pin of my ignore list. After that is when I noticed the icon on my home page that would not go far. I tried to make themselves known contacts to blackberry message to me, I sent messages from bb. I phoned in, was called, turned my phone walking again and nothing he deleted.

    Today, I received a review of demand... so I refused. But then it appeared again shortly after that so I decided to accept and shortly after to remove the contact from my contacts and skip at the same time.

    Since then, I am now supposed to have 2 unread blackberry... However on the opening of the application, I have no unread messages/cats and no new recent update.

    Please can someone give some advice, because it's really frustrating.

    Thank you

  • Problems of blackBerry Smartphones with the BBkey (also known as the menu button)

    Sometimes when I'm in an application and want to click on one of the list of the menu items (for example, delete), when I click on the menu button, which appears are some of the icons on the home page.  (I'm really tired of looking at this little Penguin...).  If I persist, I can usually get the pop-up menu option, but it's boring.  I'm sure it's a software problem.  I had this problem after a while on my first lap.  I had to replace the one because of other problems.  I used the switch device Wizard to transfer everything, so I guess he also transferred everything that is causing this issue.

    Everyone knows about this problem?  Any ideas on what to do?  I don't want to reinstall the OS - I'd rather upward with the problem.  Thank you.

    Liz

    Hi again!

    The BBKey/Menu button has two functions.

    (1) to bring up a context menu of the application, you are

    (2) to bring up the Ribbon app-switcher (a list of all your applications in the course of execution so that you can change quickly from a different application...)

    The difference is how long you hold down the key. For 1, it is a support and quick release. For 2, it is down. Sometimes it gets bad, but with practice, you'll be able to get what you want most of the time (not 100% but... I always get a wrong result sometimes).

    Hope that helps!

    Search for all of your PC for any instance of the vendor.xml file. Remove them all.

    Close the Desktop Manager and ensure that it is NOT executed.

    Make a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > backup. Close the office at the end Manager.

    1. download the OS files to the PC then install on the PC by running (double click) the downloaded file.
    2. go in c:\program files Research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    3. plug in the BB and double-click on "Loader.exe." It is located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

This just started happening to me on a week where the text seems as if someone cut the bottom of half of each letter (i.e. him 'y' now looks like a 'v'). Once I hit the button send the text in its entirety will display correctly, but as I type you can see part of it. I couldn't find someone on the Board who had similar problems, but someone else has encountered this and know how to possibly fix?

    You can try changing the font type.

    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:

  • Problems of blackBerry Smartphones with the re-activation of account e-mail via Blackberry Enterprise server - Help!

    I have a Blackberry Bold 2 e-mail accounts (personal and business). Recently, I upgraded my Vodafone contract for only part of SIM and was able to keep my old SIM card. My personal email works fine but the business Edition should be re-activated. Instructions were to validate my password via the Blackberrry using the configuration or via the browser on my computer icon. Both options have failed because of the following:

    BlackBerry: received message that Blackberry Enterprise server has not responded to my request. An error has occurred. There are 5 possible reasons being given and I do not know how to rectify one of them.

    Browser on my computer: Incorrect ID or password. Made several attempts with different entries (don't know if my ID is my e-mail address and password for that or my Blackberry).

    Can anyone suggest how I can do this move? Thank you.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I think you need to talk to Vodafone to ensure that your data plan still includes services / BES-level... such is required for full use of BES.

    You should also talk to your BES admins... they, well, all control.

    If anyone has any ideas please help me its driving me around the bend!

    Kat, London x

    Completely erase the phone?  Do me a favor and NEVER call Orange to help once again, OK?  They told you what a stupid idea!

    Now that my mini rant is over, let's get your App World on your phone.  First, go to your list of Applications.  Subsequently found the home screen options > device > application management.  Locate the application, highlight it with your mouse, press the menu key and select Remove.

    Then connect your phone to your PC via USB and open BlackBerry Desktop Software.  Once your phone has been recognized, click device at the top of the software and then restore or update (either one will work).  Choose the most recent restore point if you choose restore or click on view other Versions, if you chose the update.  With both methods, choose the most recent and the load on your phone.  This will reload App World and the icon on your phone.

    «We are not experts. BlackBerry»  You tell me!

    I hope that helps you.
