Backing up bold 9780 to Mac computer

I am trying to back up my bb to mac computer.  When I connect the bb to the computer and I enter the correct passwords the bb says connected to desktop but then the message on screen says "failed to connect to your blackberry device - reconnect your device and try again" - any ideas whether I need to change any setting on bb on mac to allow for connection.  Thank you.

Hey MB1963,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Did the BlackBerry Desktop Software ever detect the BlackBerry Bold 9780 smartphone?  Also when the BlackBerry is connected via USB, is it charging?  
Also can you try accessing BlackBerry Desktop Software under a different user account on the Mac?  
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

  • I have changed my apple ID but cannot get my Mac computer to change it on iCloud.  I have signed out but do not know how to sign back in with my new id.

    I have successfully changed my apple ID and password, but cannot get my Mac computer to change it on iCloud.  I have accessed system preferences, iCloud and sign out.  But now I do not know how to sign in using my new id and password.  I would like iCloud to work on my Mac so that it will sync to my iPhone and iPad.  I have installed all of the latest software.  How do I change this account on my Mac?

    Do you have your Mac backed up?
    If not, you should use Time Machine to back up your Mac to an external hard drive just "in case".
    But if all you did was change your existing ID, then deleting the Calendar infomation from the Mac when you sign out should not be an issue. Since it is the same Apple ID, it is the same iCloud account (just with a different name), so your Contacts, Calendars, etc. are stored in iCloud. When you sign back in, you will have the option to sync Contacts, Calendars, Notes, etc. with iCloud - it should already be checked. Just sign back in, and your iCloud info will re-download to your Mac.
    I just tried this, and all of my stuff showed up when I signed back in. Notes took a couple of seconds to load once I opened them, but they are all there.
    Note: If you are signing on with a brand new Apple ID, then nothing will be downloaded because it will be an entirely different iCloud account. But if it is the same Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID with just a new email, then it will all be restored.

    Hello joelfromn. charleston,
    It seems you are unable to activate iMessage on a device with no carrier service. The following article provides information regarding activation issues:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
    Check your device settings
    Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.
    Go to Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure that your time zone is set up correctly.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

    Wow, wonderful!  I'm back on the OS X side of my computer and that's a good thing, THANK YOU!!  My next question, if you can help, why did that happen the first place and what can I do to prevent it from happening again?  I would be grateful for any insight you might offer.
    I gave you the link to the Boot Camp documentation, read it carefully, mistakes in BC can have serious consequences.
    If you have not yet backed up your Mac, DO IT NOW.

    I tried to edit my last post but did not get in under the time limit. Read this thread. It will give you all the information that you need to create your own iTunes library on the Mac.
    There may be more information than you really need, but the instructions cover virtually every possible item that you would want to transfer over.

    Read my instructions and King Penguin's instructions. This was posted for a PC laptop user but it works the same way on a Mac - the instructions to turn off auto sync will be slightly different on the Mac - iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically.

    Welcome to Apple Communities.
    You need to migrate some files to your Mac using Windows Migration Assistant. Migrate your Music folder and the folder with the photos. Then, in your Mac, you will have iTunes as you have in your old computer. After that, open iPhoto and drag the photos to it. Finally, connect your iPad to your Mac and sync it

    Hi..
    Which Mac OS X do you have installed now??
    iCloud for your Mac requires you have Lion v10.7.2 installed > Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices
    Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements before purchasing Lion.
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
    Once you have installed Lion, the iCloud settings are located in System Preferences > iCloud.

  • Bold 9780 Notes sync with Macbook

    Hi,
    The trackpad on my Bold 9780 has stopped working making me unable to read any messages/emails and browse the phone. I have managed to back up the phone with the blackberry desktop software on my mac, however I am having problems with the 'notes' section. I did a full back up and notes sync, but 'merged' it to ensure that nothing is lost from my phone or my Mac notes.
    1. Where are these notes saved on my Mac?
    2. Is there a way of 'backing up' the notes app from my blackberry so that I can restore it once the phone is repaired?
    From what I have read online there seems to be a few people who have had the same problem but I cannot find a solution.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Mikey411,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    What version of Mac OS X are you running?  Do you synchronize your data with Microsoft Outlook or Entourage?
    Normally the notes will be saved in the Notes applications or in Outlook/Entourage?
    Do you get a specific error when you try to restore or backup the notes?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • DISPLAY PROBLEM - BLACKBERRY BOLD 9780

    Hi. I am having BB Bold 9780. I am facing a problem of DISPLAY on my handset. I can receive the calls, messages etc but I cannot see the screen. I can only see the white light on it. I can connect it to my laptop and it can be detected also by laptop. Please help me with the solution for the same ASAP. Regarsd,PJ

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    If that fails to help, then I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe ModeIt may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    Next think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Enhanced Gmail for Bold 9780

    I need to sync my Google contacts with my BB Bold 9780. The way I found to do it is installing Enhanced Gmail but it keep saying that my mobile doesn't meet the requirements.
    What's the solution?
    Thanks

    1. Go here and find your carrier.
    2. Select your BlackBerry device from the dropdown
    3. Look through the list of downloads for either All Language or East Asia
    4. Download the newest one of those available
    5. Install it to your computer
    6. Open BlackBerry Desktop Software
    7. Go to Applications on the left
    8. Find Japanese language support and Japanese input support in the list
    9. Click the + button next to both
    10. Press Apply in the bottom right
    11. Wait for the loading to finish
    12. Once your BlackBerry comes back up, go to Options (with the wrench) > Typing and Input > Language
    13. Select Japanese from the list
