Problem of restore contacts backup blackBerry Smartphones

I recently changed jobs and so Exchange Microsoft Outlook facilities, servers, etc..  I had a number of personal contacts in my Blackberry "BOLD" I wanted to keep in this transition period.  I used the Blackberry Desktop software on my Windows 7 PC to create a number of backup files in my Blackberry.  Then I reset the Blackberry and set up to talk to my new employer's e-mail server.  The new email works fine, but I can't restore my old contacts (I want to bring into my phone and the new perspective).

I tried using the option 'Restore data from a Backup file' in the menu select device in the Blackberry Desktop Software, then using the data device and settings (I only attempt to restore the option "Address Book - All").  When I do that, I get a dialog box with the warning, "your current data will be overwritten."  I click Yes to continue.  Then, I get a message of restoration (it shows the file name and the path for my backup that points to my old backup file).  However, when I check my contacts, they aren't there.  It was only the only contact I entered my new installation of Outlook (I think it must be sync to Outlook).

Does anyone have a solution to restore my contacts?  Failiing this, is there a utiility that will allow me to see the contact information stored in the backup file?  I can re - key it (ugh), if I can get a no binary version to read.

    Most often when you perform a manual updrade, the charger does not just because of any PROVIDER. File XML in our PC. It was important to ensure than any SUPPLIER. XML is left undone, on your Pc change your records option to show the hidden files/folders and search again that there may be 2 or 3 SELLER. XML files also remove or uninstall any other BlackBerry Device Software is from your PC.

    Make sure that you use the latest BlackBerry Desktop Software, or download it from BlackBerry desktop softwarehere.

  • Backup BlackBerry Smartphones get BB protect compared to the clouds

    Hello world

    I tried the manual backup yesterday by the site Web de Blackberry Protect. I successfully backed up the first time and made a few changes on my BB Curve 9300. Freed from some space by deleting messages and other data. I also want to return to the top of that State or to this specific point, I did the backup through the site Web of Protect. To my surprise (and I'm not aware) the new backup crushed my previous where in I need important messages I deleted expects that the backup will just create another set of backup rather than crush the other.

    My question is. Are there opportunities that I can restore this backup?

    After a few searches on Google and read messages. I knew that the backup is saved in the cloud that has lost the chances of recovering data backup with recovery tools that I can use.  I thought that if I can retrieve/recover deleted files and even formatted disks, technical staff of BB Protect or RIM could do the same and help me with my problem.

    Hope my message reached the Cloud for RIM or BB Protect administrator.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    First of all... this site is not a channel for any official communication with, support, or climbing to the RIM. This site is a community of users for volunteers who are trying their best to help each other, but we have no access to any system "back-end" to act on your request. If you really need official support from RIM, you must start with your support contract required string that starts with your mobile service provider, which can degenerate case RIM free of charge to the end user if such is always appropriate.

    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:

    OK... with that of the road, see:

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

    According to who, it should actually be different dates you can use BB Protect backups. If they are not, however, appear for one reason or another, they are not available to you through any means automatic... and you would need official support (above) of a human being to the RIM to see if it can be recovered.

    All this said, I hope that you are not solely on BB Protect for your backup needs. BB Protect only back up (I think) 8 databases, which is a small subset of all the content of all of your valuable data. FYI, here's the process that I always recommend:

    Daily - configure BB Protect to save what he can, preferring to WiFi if the network of consumer data carrier is a matter of concern.

    Weekly:

    If you're not up to BBM7, then manually save your BBM contacts to the memory of your device or Media Card

    There is an old saying:

    • There are two types of computers of users of devices - those who have lost data and those who will be

    As insurance, the backups are reactive or an optional activity. And this process, in my humble OPINION, provides the best protection of all the valuable data that is kept on their BB. When you compare BB Protect backup actually compared this process to protect, I think you will find that the difference is very large. In addition, this process would give you 100% control to keep the previous backups.

    Good luck!

  • Sync gmail contacts OK blackBerry Smartphones, but can not synchronize Emails

    Dear Blackberry community!

    I recently changed my contract mobile and kept my professional Blackberry Curve 9300.

    I managed to configure gmail and synchronize contacts & the order of the day, but I can't seem to synchronize emails.

    It seems to me that the old configuration blocking private Email-addresses is still active, but I don't know where and how to change.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Cheers, Inken

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    Of what you say, I read that you had BES enabled on your BB, you have separated from the company/what BES now, but your BB was not properly cleaned of it's political, that continues to limit the things. To remedy this, you perform a specific wiping of your BB as follows:

    1. First of all, review the link of my auto-sig about backups... this process will completely clean your BB and you have to start over.
    2. Once ready, follow this KB to clean your BB of the it policy:
      • KB31291 How to reset a BlackBerry smartphone to factory using BlackBerry Desktop Software Settings
    3. When / if you restore, DO NOT do a full restore, restore only those databases that are essential, especially to avoid those who have something to do with the company, BES, political, etc.. If you fail at this stage and all restore, you simply put it on your BB policy and be right where you started.

    Good luck!

    Hi Bbnoviceja

    Welcome to the Forums of the BlackBerry Support

    Regarding your backup problem, plug your device and run BlackBerry Desktop Software for windows in the office software click Devive > delete data > data choose selected > scroll social power database > mark it and whose losses. Once this part is deleted, try to perform a full backup.

  • Contacts lost blackBerry smartphones

    Hello

    I have a problem with my contacts. I have lost and cannot recover them, here are the details!

    My BT Yahoo account hacked the other day and erased all my webmail times and contacts of BB. Obviously a problem online, but he thinks that it would not be a problem with the BB as saved on the computer. However, when I went to restore to an earlier date, the address book option was not available and has been in a different shade - the note under the list of things to restore pointed out that the elements of different shade will not be restored. However, it indicates the number of entries etc. Is there anyway I can get around this and restore my contacts! Also when I type the addresses in a new email, the address is known.

    Please help I got all my contacts with addresses etc too!

    Kind regards

    Ed

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    In order to perform the restore, you must first defeat the configuration on your BB elements that allow it to synchronize wirelessly on Yahoo. After that, you should be able to restore from your backup.

    Good luck!

I installed the updated software version yesterday morning and now whenever I click on Contacts, I get a message saying that "Unfortunately, has stopped Contacts" and the only option I had was to report this to crash the first time; now, I can only choose "OK".

    Hi everyone, just a quick update: it turns out that it's a problem/bug BlackBerry already know and are trying to solve. There was an update from 01/09/16 for the Contacts app, but it doesn't seem to work when I installed the update. Workaround that I was advised to use in the meantime is as follows:

    • Deselect auto-updated option on Play store -in the game store, tap 3 horizontal lines in the 'search' box to set up your account > settings > auto-update apps > not auto-implementation update app
    • Contacts to revert to the version of factory default - settings > Apps > select Contacts and then:
    1. Click on clear Cache
    2. Press Force
    3. Press on uninstall updates
    4. Press OK when you are prompted to do so

  • Software for Contacts of blackBerry Smartphones that works with BB?

    This seems to be a really basic question, so I hope this isn't a stupid question - but I couldn't find anything to help me.

    Had a BB 8900 yesterday and trying to sort out all my contacts on my PC so I can sync them with the BB. But - everything I've tried has problems:

    Windows contacts - usually tedious to use and (REALLY annoying) can handle only one during import/export email address

    Thunderbird - does not work with BB (spin the Desktop Manager 4.7 version)

    Outlook - dear

    Other free programs available - not sure that I trust them, and they are free for a reason...

    I'm willing to pay a small amount for some useful software for maintaining contacts - he would use 1) sync with BB, 2) sync with Gmail and 3) just to maintain a list of contacts on my PC.

    All recommendations are welcome. Thanks in advance.

  • Problem of voice dialing of blackBerry Smartphones

    My BB Curve 8320 cannot allocate memory when I try to use the voice dialing. He told me to close applications and try again. I don't have a race! What should I do to fix this? Thanks for any help you can give! Barb B

    There is a problem of memory on your Blackberry. Make sure that you do not have applications running? You have only 5 those opened in the application Ribbon when you Alt + Esc?

    You can see how much memory is left in the terminal options, then State, then the button menu and "database sizes.

    Anyway, you can try to reboot your device. Just open your blackberry, remove the battery, wait a minute, then plug it in again. You will have to then wait about 4 or 5 minutes before your Blackberry is operational.
