Back up sms-es to pc/laptop from Curve 8520

I have too many sms-es on my curve 8520 and sometimes becomes difficult to find a particular sms
is there any means to backup those smses on my laptop?
Advanced thanks.

Hey rishikeshagnihotri,
Welcome to the forums!
You can backup your device to a PC or laptop but the backup file will be in an .ipd format. Here is how to backup your device using a PC, http://bbry.lv/9qYW5A.
Because the file is an .ipd file it is not recognized by your computer and cannot be read. I have had no reason to read by backup file on my computer so I am not sure if there is software that will allow you to do this.
Hope this helps.

Back up to PDF document from Curve 8520.

I have a BlackBerry Curve 8520 Smartphone. Is it possible to back up device data such as the phone log to a PDF or other readable document? It does not appear to be possible after the back up, as I can not open those files (BlackBerry IPD files). I would like to keep a record of calls that were recieved by my phone.

Hey CrazyIzzy,
There is no supported way to read the IPD files, the only supported way to view the information would be to have it restored back to the BlackBerry smartphone.

Want to delete one email account from curve 8520

hi all and thanks for reading this.
i recently added 2 email accounts to my blkberry curve 8520 version 4
but then i realized what a nightmare it was to have too many emails coming in at same time. Long story short, i went back to how i first set up both emails in the first place by going to setup wizard, email setup, "i want to create or add an email address." , next, next, logging on to web2go, then finally the stupid messege shows up ERROR- " this site cannot be accessed in this manner. Please use the url or link provided by your service provider.
help!!! i need to delete some email accounts! btw i use t-mobile prepaid plan.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
From your description, perhaps TMO has changed the method you need to do this? Have you contacted them, as per the information provided to you? After all, it's a TMO system you are attempting to interact with, is it not?
Good luck!

How can I get my itunes library back onto my laptop from my ipad

How can I get my itunes library back onto my laptop from my ipad?

Is there any way to restore deleted calendars back onto my laptop from my iPhone.

I recently installed Maverick on my laptop and have been having trouble syncing my iphone calendars with my laptop calendars, like I used to.
Like an idiot, and without any research, I joined iCloud thinking I could sync calendars this way. I didn't realize that it deleted my calendars off my laptop in creating my iCloud calendars. The syncing with my iphone still didn't work, and so again, like an idiot and without research, I deleted my iCloud account ot discover that all my calendars on my laptop are now gone.
My iphone still has the calendars on it, (albeit old and out of date), so is there a way to restore the deleted calendars back to my laptop from my iphone or from the backup on my laptop.?
Running Maverick on laptop and iTunes 11.1.3. iPhone is an older 3gs but fully updated running 6.1.3
Please help.
Thanks!

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Safari
Quit Safari.
Select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window should open. Restore the file named "History.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.

Check under Settings > iCloud to see if the Contacts switch is ON (green side showing). If it's already on, switch it off for 30-60 seconds, then back on again. Your contacts should start showing up shortly.

I have backed up my ipad to my laptop prior to updating to the latest IOS and now I want to restore the backup back onto the ipad but it says there is not enough space? I have tried unticking all apps i no longer need, music etc but this still doesnt work

I have updated up my ipad2 which had the original version on it (4.??) to the latest version of IOS. Before I did this I backed up the ipad to my laptop so I wouldnt lose precious pics and videos of my baby boy. Now that the latest version is on the ipad it is now asking me if I want to start as a new ipad or restore my backup from itunes. So i select restore my backup from itunes and connect to itunes but it now says there is not enough space to do so. I have a feeling it is because there are alot of pics on our ipad which i presume are all in this backup, many of which we do not need on the ipad anymore but I have no idea on how I go about deleting these pics?? And how do I find where on my laptop this backup is and most importantly the video and pics of my baby boy.

Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.

Shipping laptop from US to AU

Hi everyone!
So, I'm visiting Australia on a work and holiday visa for 7 months and my old laptop has just broken. I'm looking into purchasing a refurbished laptop from Apple.com. I was considering purchasing the laptop from the AU site but they don't have the same specifications as the one I want on the US store. (And seeing how I will be moving back to America I'd prefer to have one already with the US charger.)
My question is, would there be any way to purchase a refurbished laptop from the US and have it sent to an Australian Apple store? or if that's not possible if anyone has ever shipped a laptop over sea's and if that's a rational decision? (Keep in my the price differences are also atronomicly different.)
I have family in the states (Obviously) that would be willing to ship the laptop once it's mailed to them but A: worried about winter time in the U.S and B:Worry about the harsh heat in A.U.
Anyone's help would WONDERFUL.
I appreciate you taking the time to read my concern.
Thank's so much!
- Justin

Justin, you do not have to worry about heat. I have friends living in the tropics who are happliy using Mac laptops, with the temperature above 35 Celsius! And just two weeks ago I shipped a Macbook to one of them. No hassles, but I did buy insurance to cover damage or theft.
You can buy your laptop in the US and use it in Australia (or just about anywhere else in the world) without any concerns about power. Apple even sells a travel kit to adapt the charger to the wall outlets in other countries.

How to install Essbase on your laptop from the Oracle Download site

Hello everyone,
I am attempting to install the download version of Essbase on my laptop from the Oracle site. I have downloaded the following Essbase-11113 part 1, Essbase-11113 part 2, and APS-11113 part 3. However I am at a loss as to what to do next. I didn't see any executible files in the downloads all I see are xml documents and .dat files so I am completely lost as to how to install the system and get a working copy of Essbase running. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
EC

I too have it installed on a VM -- Windows 2003 -- and it's a 32 bit OS. If you do want to move it to your real desktop, you'll need a bunch of directories and environment variables from your successful 32 bit install to make it work, even for the client. I think XP should be okay for just Essbase and maybe EAS. You can always install Excel on the VM as well and just keep it entirely self-contained.
SmartView on 64 bit, if you're using Excel 2007, is a non starter; it does work with Excel 2003 and I think it's slated for a fix in 11.1.2.
If you're as hopeless as I am when it comes to installations, make sure you take plenty of snapshots so you can roll back to the last working instance. I did the whole stack on my VM, so I had lots of things to get wrong.
I think those who know what they're doing when it comes to installs don't see it as a challenge -- I'm a developer, not an installer, so I found it it be be gruesome (the full stack, 64 bit Essbase on the real iron).
Good luck.
Regards,
Cameron Lackpour
P.S. Just to show that when it's all certified, it works, I was able to install AppliedOLAP's client (okay, Tim was watching over my shoulder, but still) on my Vista 64 bit without any trouble whatsoever. It worked like a charm.

Is it possible to copy sms messages onto a laptop?

i would like to copy my sms messages to my laptop. Is this possible?

Not easily.
If you want, you can download and use the ABC Amber IPD converer software on your PC to extract the SMS messages from your device backup IPD file, made using Desktop Manager.

Buying a movie on your (US) account on someone elses laptop from Europe

To give my friends a movie to watch on their new iPod Touch (on their way back to Europe), I used their laptop to buy a movie on my US account from the US store. Their iTunes and Laptop originated in Europe and although I bought the movie and downloaded no problem. Immediately therafter a notice popped up telling me that That purchase was not allowed to be played on that machine...
Hmmm. Is this the Region thing they apply to DVDs as well? Can I get around that? If I can;t I have a real problem when I go back to Europe will all the stuff I purchased here and can not play there...
Any tips? Thanks in advance

Hi van D,
Authorizing a computer to play iTunes Store purchases
To play purchases from the iTunes Store, you must authorize your computer using your iTunes Store account and password. (Authorization helps protect the copyrights of the purchased items.)
You can authorize up to five computers (Macintosh, Windows, or both) at a time. To play a purchased item on a sixth computer, you need to deauthorize another one. An iPod doesn't count as a computer.
You can authorize or deauthorize a computer at any time. Be sure to deauthorize a computer before you sell it or give it away.
Here are ways to authorize or deauthorize a computer:
To authorize a computer to play iTunes Store purchases, choose Store > Authorize Computer.
To deauthorize a computer, choose Store > Deauthorize Computer.
To deauthorize a computer to play spoken programs purchased from the Audible website, choose Advanced > Deauthorize Audible Account.
If you forgot to deauthorize a computer you no longer own, you can deauthorize all your authorized computers at once. You can use this method once a year.
Choose Store > View My Account, and then click Deauthorize All. If you don’t see this option, it’s because you don’t have five authorized computers.
Hope this helps...
Carolyn

I was told I can use my router to back up windows 7 & my mac laptop. How do I do that?

I was told I can use my router to back up windows 7 & my mac laptop. How do I do that?

First of all TC out of the box is not compatible with windows..
So change all the names to short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
TC name, wireless names.. (different for 5ghz) and hard disk name.
Set WPA2 Personal (AES) security with 8-12 character alphanumeric passkey.
On the file sharing page, set the workgroup correctly to WORKGROUP.
I recommend turn on the guest account to read and write.
Load airport utility for windows into the windows PC.. you can use it to do the above. Or do it from the Mac.
Open Windows Explorer..
In the address bar type
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress.. obviously changing those for the real name or IP address.
Then create a new directory in the TC so you keep the windows files separate.
