Switch to new device without old blackBerry Smartphones

8330 keyboard my daughter stop working so we ordered a replacement Verizon 8830.  She had already saved the old phone so I downloaded the latest version of BB Desktop software on his computer and save the old phone in hopes of transferring its contacts to the new phone when it happened.

Not knowing that the switch device Wizard requires you to have the phone connected to the computer to launch the device switch I sent the old phone to the carrier.

Is it possible to transfer old contacts to the new phone without having to first fix the old phone?

Thought I might get contacts save the file on the PC and drop it in the new phone backup folder and then synchronize hoping to fool the software?

Or y at - it a way to take the backup of contacts file and export it to text so that I can download on Google contacts, and then save it to the new phone with Google Sync?

Thanks for your help?

Hello

If you have already saved peripheral of your daughter, you can restore the data to the new.  Open the BlackBerry Desktop Software, connect the phone again, then under the device from the drop-down list (at the top left), select restore.  You can then navigate to where the previous backup file was preserved (as in your Documents or Documents folder > BlackBerry) and restore this file.

I hope that helps!

  • BlackBerry Q10 transfer old data blackberry device BlackBerry 10 device, without old blackberry device again

    Hello
    I recently bought a new BlackBerry Q10, I got a 9790 "BOLD" of BlackBerry OS 7 before that and I had backed it up in BlackBerry Desktop Software. I had no knowledge that BlackBerry 10 devices do not work with BlackBerry Desktop Software, so I sold my Bold 9790 and then bought a Q10. I need to retrieve all the data from my old 9790 "BOLD" to my Q10, but unfortunately does not work with BlackBerry Desktop Software Q10. If I download BlackBerry link it will ask to connect to my old camera to transfer files.

    So basically, I need to transfer my old phone to the new backup file.
    Please help me. Thank you.

    First of all, the device is released for more than a year and a half.  BlackBerry has put the information out there.  I easily found the information below with a quick Google search that brought up this article, KB33322

    While it has not yet been updated in order to take account of the last update for the link, I made a few minor changes to the instructions to join the same options in the new version of the link.

    Multimedia files stored on the internal memory of the device will be transferred if you check the box "Multimedia files stored on the internal memory."  Multimedia files stored under the content on the old appliance store will not.

    Here are the instructions:

    1. Connect the 10 BlackBerry smartphone to the computer via the USB cable.
    2. On the left side of the BlackBerry connection screen, click on the name of the smartphone BlackBerry 10.
    3. Select restore device > Legacy device backup files.
    4. Select the desired backup file.
    5. Select the data to be restored in the smartphone BlackBerry 10. To restore data to all supported, select the checkbox restore all data .  Choose the data to restore select Custom Restore.
      Note: for a description of data BlackBerry smartphone, refer to KB03974.
    6. Click restore.
  • Interference from another device in bbm blackBerry Smartphones

    Hi, a while back, my blackberry curve 9300 was stolen. I then had the phone blacklisten via my ISP, and my camera erased using blackberry Protect? I also bought a new blackberry curve 9300 and restored all my data from my old blackberry id. Everything worked fine until about a month after my old phone was stolen. Everything was fine except I now im my bbm interference. My profile picture is often changed and I get contacts without confirming them. After a few days to deal with the technical support told me that the phone must be put to the index with blackberry as well as my ISP. I was also told that this process had never been done before, and the chance to get with my phone was not very high. The reason was that the technical support should send a request to blackberry on the blacklist of the bb id, an e-mail.

    I don't know if the person using my old stolen phone can read my messages or see my contacts, but either way I feel as if my private life has been violated and liked to feel safe using bbm surveys.

    What can I do? Maybe remove the code from my blackberry and register in the register using the same email?

    Thank you very much

  • Transfer of old blackBerry Smartphones media memory card

    I recently started using a Blackberry Torch and I wonder if there is any way I can transfer photos from the memory card from my old phone directly on my torch.

    Thank you

    Well, the best way is to copy ALL the files from your old card to your PC using a usb memory card adapter that you can buy cheaply at any electronics store. Get the old files from your PC and then copy them to your new BlackBerry or using the same adapter.

    But if the old card fits your torch and is visible on the PC, do it this way, by copying the files on your PC. Insert the new card into the torch, then copy this files on the PC to the new card into the BlackBerry.

    When you open the Desktop software > restore screen, you should see an option to select your own backup file, in order to open a somewhat earlier. Can you do this?

    Maybe it will allow you to restore contacts.

  • Your old blackBerry Smartphones xfering images phone new BB Curve

    I just bought a new Curve 9330 and I stored all my pictures on my old phone on a micro sd 1 GB card.

    When I put the sd card in the curve, I can see that the phone sees the card and a pop up display for a very short period. I had to do it like 3 times to read he said the media was going to be moved, but when I look at the camera/media I find a photo of my sd card.

    Tanks

    While I was waiting for a response I understand that as soon as I put the sd card in my blackberry

    It seems to create a new directory structure. He had all my old photos in a folder called my_pix

    I then took a picture using Blackberry and found that the image was stored in a folder named blackberry /camera

    I then selected all my photos saved under my_pix and copied on camera folder you and now all of my old photos are visible.

    Hope this helps others

    Thank you

  • BlackBerry new computer, old blackberry Smartphones

    I had to erase everything on my computer and put it back to nine because of a matter related non-blackberry.  now, I had to reinstall the software for my blackberry on it.  I don't remember all the settings, but I share everything via outlook.  my blackberry is out of date on my calendar and contacts that I could return to my computer in outlook.  How can I sync my blackberry is back with my computer and make sure that my blackberry settings win in my calendar and contacts?  or is this even possible?

    It is possible. You will need configure the synchronization in the Desktop Manager for "handheld wins." Look for this setting in the configuration of the synchronization.

    Do sync and when successful, don't forget to return to "notify me" or all the items that you enter directly in Outlook will be synchronized to your BlackBerry.

    Download Desktop Manager here:

  • Outlook calendar info old blackBerry Smartphones when keeping synch w/9700 "BOLD"

    Hi RIM Forum!

    I recently upgraded to OS6, have the latest Desktop Manager and under Microsoft Outlook 2007 on Windows XP.  Each tme I synch, over calendar information 3 weeks which are NOT anticipated is wiped out.  This is not acceptable because I need to access my calendar to revisit occurrences as far, far back as possible, i.e. Since the beginning of the 2000s.

    I have enough storage on hard drive of my PC, so how can I make sure that my Outlook never deletes calendar events that do not specify want to restore deleted and the second, as far as possible to all my old calendar events?

    Finally, the limitations of memory my 9700 so I know how to get back I should keep my calendar on the RIM device and information?

    Thank you!

    Ben

    Hello

    I don't take as my fault or does issue so no worries there.

    I'm not an employee of the RIM, I am a user like you.

    The deletion is not fair on Outlook, which two days to feature too. The design intent (I think) is there isn't that one calendar and the PC and the Blackberry have each an exact copy.  Make sense?

    You can restore your archived Outlook calendar items to find appointments lost, or at least most?

    Thank you

  • Card memory to device memory of blackBerry Smartphones

    Now that I have my new memory card in my phone, is there a way I can transfer my photos that I saved in my device memory on my memory card using my phone instead of having to use my computer to do?

    Hello

    How many pictures do you have?

    It may be better to go outside (it's very nice here, pop a top) and yourself by e-mail of the photo.

    Highlight the photo, touch menu, send, receive, record button the map of bracket.

    If you hang with her more power for you, for me moving to one at a time is root.

    You can also just send to your PC. Then use MY computer to reload the media card.

    He cannot enter into the device memory via a PC.

    Let me know!

    Thank you

    You can use a PC for the transfer of information between the PC and the media card.
    Basically you focus for the BB and PC USB. Don't use office
    Manager. Go to 'My Computer' on the PC and the BB will be displayed as a flash drive.
    Then you can "drag and drop" files on the BB.
    Use the following settings in the option of memory of the storm:

    Card support ON

    NONE encryption mode

    (Storm AND "BOLD" only) Media Transfer Protocol

    WE support mass storage

    Auto enable mass storage support when it is connected TO

    So I jumped my sim in my W810i, found the copy all contacts to sim card option, did.

    Took my sim card, threw my w810i in the trash can and popped the SIM in the blackberry. (I'm kidding I gave the phone to a friend)

  • New and very confused blackBerry smartphones

    well, I'm very new and very confused. I'm not savvy computer I should be too old, I guess.

    In any case, I recently bought a BB Storm, and then send it on a task in Alaska assignment where I can make cell phone calls, but not internet access on the phone.

    I want to download the latest software updates. As I don't have to pack the USB cord to connect the phone to my laptop, I suppose I could just move my card to my laptop and then media, but that has not worked. After messing around with it, now I can't access anything on my card press, photos, word files, nothing. I can move the files, photos, etc. back to map of support, but I can't access these files once the card in the phone?

    Any suggestions? Can I reformat the media card?

    1. do you cannot load an operating system of the press card.

    2. I suggest you a reformat of the card, since you have all the files on the PC that would lose?

  • The device icon lost blackBerry smartphones

    I did a tour overseas and noticed my phone stopped working at halfway through - I could not send or receive calls or texts.  I think that this happened to me once before when I was traveling overseas.  To fix it, I pulled the battery and put it back in - and everything (ie the phone) has worked well.  Then I noticed that had lost an icon - that is a picture of the device that allows you to position the ring on loud, quiet, vibrate, etc..  How to bring back the icon?

    Also, does anyone know why the phone stops working abroad?

    Press the button on your BlackBerry (Menu) and SHOW all.  See if it was hidden.

    Second thing to do is research behind other icons to see if it is playing hide and seek with you. Sometimes, it happened.

  • Old blackBerry Smartphones mails on Bold 9700

    Hello!

    I have a BB Bold 9700 and I tried to set up my email to read on the mobile. I have a problem: I can only read the mails that come after December 2010 (when I have the top of my BB). I can't read my emails before December because they are not on the mobile application... Is this normal? I must go on the internet and on the Gmail page to access my old mails...

    I'm sorry for my bad English I'm french!

    Good day. Thank you in advance for your invaluable help.

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    What you describe is exactly as expected. BB is designed to bring only new emails from the point of activation. Old emails are not translated to the BB because it does not truly replicate your Inbox. Therefore, it is WAD - works as expected.

    Good luck!
