Restoring Backed Up Contacts Locally . . .Can't See Backup Files

Hey,
i have backed up my BB Messenger contacts locally on the device, but for some reason i cannot restore them, they simply don't show up when i browse to the directory where they are stored.
If i look for them while my BB is connected to my computer and browse using windows explorer, i can see them sitting there just fine.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Mike

Disconnect your device from the USB and look again.
If you are connected to the USB using Mass Storage Mode, your media card is not usable from within the device.

Was the entire folder copied including the iTunesLibrary.itl file?

How to restore back my contact when I accidentally delete on iCloud

How to restore back my contact when I accidentally delete on iCloud

Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. When I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000 contacts are not listed

Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. However, when I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000 plus contacts are not listed, and it makes you difficult to call through contact

The iPhone remembers information about previous contacts.
Complelely independently, you have a Contacts app with a contacts list. It sounds like your contacts list has 3 names on it. You need to add a few names.

Can't see ADMX files in Group Policy Editor

I have a problem with ADMX files on my Server 2008 r2 group policy. I start by going to group policy editor. Then I browse to Computer Policy and then Administrative Templates. There is nothing in there... Which is weird... There has always been stuff there...
So, then I go in to add templates back in... I find the ADMX files in C:\Windows\Policy Definitions and also \\domain\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions and go to Add/Remove Templates. I click add and then browse to either directory (which has ADMX files
in them!) and see nothing. ADM files I can see fine. But ADMX I can't see. So, I see these links:
2008 R2 Server GP can't see admx files
I can't see admx files
Looking at them, they both say I should be able to see ADMX files in the central store...So I manually copy the ones in C:\Windows\Policy Definitions to the SYSVOL central store. Restart group policy editor... Nothing there when I browse the settings...
Still not able to add templates.
It looks like group policy editor doesn't know about ADMX files at all... Is there a registry setting or something that "enables" the ADMX files?
Thanks,
Scott

In gpedit / gpmc, the menu item : "Action -> Add/Remove Templates", is only applicable/useful for the older/legacy ADM files - the menu item isn't relevant for ADMX/ADML files at all.
The most common reason for an "empty" list of Administrative Templates settings, is an incorrect configuration of the Central Store.
The usual guidance tells us to place ADMX files here, to setup a CS:
\\domain\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\
This folder/file structure has to mimic what you would see at: C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\
If your domain is named contoso.com, you would need this:
contoso.com\SYSVOL\contoso.com\Policies\PolicyDefinitions\
In that folder, reside your ADMX files.
You also need the relevant locale subfolder, and in there, you need the matching ADML files.
The best way to establish that, is to go to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\ on your RSAT PC, or DC, and copy all the contents including subfolders and files, into the equivalent folder of your CS.
Then exit GPMC (if you had it opened), and re-launch GPMC. No need to to anything else in GPMC, it will automatically, by default, look for a CS first, and, if no CS is found, will revert to the local policydefinitions folder structure.
But, if the CS folder structure exists *AND* is incomplete or incorrect, you will get your symptom.

HT1145 I can't see my files on my USB shared drive. It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac.

I can't see my files on my USB shared drive. It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac. How do I see them? I also can't see them on my iPad using FileBrowser.

You don't have access to it to configure it via Time Machine? You lost me on that one, Time Machine is used for Backup.
Here is a basic article on the first setup and what you should see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1178
To configure Time Capsule you should be using "Airport Utility" 5.3 or higher that is located in the Utilities folder. You can tell if its version 5.3 because the icon will have blue lines instead of orange lines like the older versions. Since you are running Leopard 10.5.6 and you ran Software Update you are probably already running the latest 5.3 version.
The light flashing amber means you haven't entered enough information so that it can get to the internet. Once you have that info entered the light will turn green.
If your absolutely sure your CAT5 cables are good you can try a hard reset. I think you have to push the reset button on the back and hold it for 5 seconds or so until the amber light blinks rapidly, then when you release the button it does the reset then.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1300?locale=en_US
Hope this helps! If not I would probably call AppleCare support or see if you can exchange it.

Playbook can't see my files

I had a weird pop up with a long message warning last night when opening the e-mail client. I tried opening several times and I would always receive that message (something related with a PIM number).
After a few tries, I restarted the PB. the message wen't away, but my interface was restored to the initial state (all my icon organization was gone). I made a new organization and thought everything was fine.
Now, I am noticing the PB can't see my files. they were not deleted, I still can see them through my computer. But the music player says it has 0 songs, the file manager can't see anyfiles, the "pictures" app can't see all the pictures I took and so on.
Can somebody help me?

Hi loftmusic,
I didn't hear about this. But I trust in Security Wipe magic. So make a back up of all required content from your PlayBook and do the Security Wipe. After this you may reinstall OS if you want to. To do this just connect powered off PlayBook to PC with launched BlackBerry Desktop Software.
Someone else may give you other tip.

Mac can't see NTFS files

I have a 160Gb external UDB drive (Toshiba Gigastore) that I've repartitioned from being 100% NTFS into a 50Gb primary Fat32 partition and a 100Gb primary NTFS partition.
I was hoping to use the Fat32 partition to back my MacBook up and the NTFS partition to share (read-only) files from my Windows PC.
When the drive was 100% NTFS, my MacBook could see all the files, but now I've repartitioned it, the MacBook can't see any files on the NTFS partition. Disk Info knows there's some files there as the free/used spaces are correct, but I can't see anything.

MacBook:~ John$ ls -hal /Volumes
total 80
drwxrwxrwt 6 root admin 204B Oct 17 13:39 .

Funny that the ls list on the Gigastore showed two '..' entries rather than '.' and '..'.
I wonder if it's because I've partitioned this disk into two? It was working fine as one large NTFS partition. Maybe I'll try making the NTFS partition first then a second FAT32 partition.

I can't see pdf files through safari

i can not see pdf files through safari

I had the same problem after making Adobe the reader for pdf. Fixed it by
1) removing the Adobe plug-in from the Internet Plug-Ins file in the Library.
2) restarting Safari.
Back to normal.

I copied files to my Time Capsule prior to my IT guy setting it up. Now I can't see my files.

Hi,
I copied all my music files to my Time Capsule prior to my IT guy setting it up wirelessly. Now I can't see my files. He has set the security up as " User accounts". I tried to set it up as "disc password". Success, I could see the files but couldn't copy them back to my computer as it came up with couldn't access the Time Capsule. Now I can't see them at all.. In windows explorer the only thing you see is ".com.apple.airport.sharepoint". How can I get my files back?

Press reset and use the TC password not disk password for security.. and leave the password of the TC at default. You should be still able to access the files..
Did you copy the files to it from windows?
Make sure you turn on the guest account to full read and write access.
Make sure windows is in home network location.. not work or public.

Can't see .cfm files in Design view

Can't see .cfm files in Design view in Dreamweaver CC.

Hi pkregel,
Do these files open as intended in Dreamweaver CS6? I am not a CF expert but I am guessing that if you are able to open the files, then you should be able to see them in both the views. Can you post a screenshot as well?
Thanks,

How can I see my files on Time Capsul

How can I see my files on Time Capsul

Do you mean Time Machine files or ordinary files.. ??
Did you copy files to the TC? It should just open in the finder as long as the TC is available and the airport utility shows it connected.
If you want to see the contents of the TM files.. open the sparsebundle and use main Time Machine icon in the dock.
