Backup Assistant doesn't recognize PIN sent from phone....

I've been trying to backup my Casio GzOne contacts.  I have been able to change the PIN from the phone keypad successfully, but when I try to do a backup I keep getting an Invalid PIN error.
There are 39 pending contacts on the phone to backup.  If I select the "Sync to Phone" button on the Backup Assistant web site will BA pull those contacts from the phone and add them to the contact list on the web site, or will it push the contact list from the web site to the phone, causing the loss of the 39 contacts not backed up?
I bought a new smartphone and need to transfer my contact list.
Thanks.

I just had the same problem.  What I finally did on the old enV Touch was
Go to "Media Center."
Go to "Browse & Download"
Scrolled down to "Backup Assistant" and clicked "Options."
I did an "Upgrade Check," which allowed me to upgrade to the latest version.
After that, my pin worked correctly.  Good luck!

  • Backup Assistant seems to have deleted numbers from my phone

    I performed a backup with BA, and had 90 or so contacts on my phone and on the website.  Everything was fine for a few days, and I added two more contacts to my phone.  Then Monday I see my phone only has two numbers.  The two new ones. 
    The contacts are on the online BA, but I can't get them back on the phone.  I've tried the "Sync" button on the web site.  I've tried manually running BA on the phone 5 times (with an hour in between).
    What is going on?  How do I get the numbers back onto my phone?

    Does anyone else think this outage is lasting a bit too long? I lost my phone and figured it was no big deal because I used backup assistant. I simply bought a new phone. The sales guy at the verizon store said the system was down for a couple of hours and I could get my contacsts later that evening. I wouldn't have stayed with verizon if I new my contacts couldn't be retrieved. I had over 200 contacts. Who can I call to complain about this issue? Getting a stock response saying the system is down is not acceptable. I don't care if the info has to be mannually stripped from the servers and sent to our phones. arghhh.

  • I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes.  Recently my itunes account changed and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds.  How to transfer from ipod back to itunes?  I don't have the cds anymore.

    I downloaded 2 cds onto my ipod nano through itunes.  Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds.  The songs are still on my ipod.  I am affraid to sync now because the songs may be deleated, and I don't have the cds anymore.  How can I transfer the songs from the cds on my ipod back to itunes so that I don't lose them? 

    What you have on your computer is your iTunes library, not your "account."  The "account" you have for iTunes is your Apple ID, which you use when purchasing or downloading from the iTunes Store.  If these songs came from music CDs that you imported into iTunes, those songs are not related to your Apple ID.
    Recently my itunes account changed for some unknown reason and now it doesn't recognize the songs from the cds
    How are they not "recognized"?  Are the songs still listed in your iTunes music library, but grayed out?  They no longer appear in your iTunes library at all?
    If you search your computer (not in iTunes) for the song files, using one of the song names, can you find the song files?

  • Backup Assistant - where to enter Pin

    backup assistant comes up asking for username and password, not pin.  entering username / password from my Verizon does not work.  where do we enter the pin .. how do we get that option?

        I want to make sure you can enjoy the convenience of Backup Assistant AJ2936! What make and model device is this? Are you accessing it on the device or from a computer? Is this the first time you are using Backup Assistant? It will have separate pin.

  • IPod Touch 3rd gen doesn't recognize episode numbers from TV Shows.

    I recently have this problem:
    my iPod Touch (3rd generation, software version 4.2.1) doesn't recognize any episode numbers from tv show episodes. I numbered all my episodes in iTunes, then transferred them to my iPod, but when I scroll though my episode list on my iPod, the episodes are ordered alphabetically, and they all have the notion "Season 1, Episode 0".
    This applies to both TV Shows that already were on my iPod, and new TV shows I added to my iPod video library.
    I never had this problem before, and as far as I know, I didn't change any settings on my iPod or iTunes.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    Forgot about dfu mode.

  • Transferring contacts on backup assistant doesn't work. What can I do?

        We want to make sure you get your contacts back, JahnA. Have you logged into your online account at http://www.vzw.com/myverizon to check if the contacts are saved in the "My Device" section? What phone model did you previously have?

  • Backup Assistant doesn't sync all of my contacts

    Hello,
    So about 2 weeks ago, I noticed that all of my messages reverted to just phone numbers. All of my "contacts" were not saved in my phone. I tried using BA to restore all of my contacts, but at the time it only restored 4, which happened to be the BAL, PMT etc.
    I have had a few other issues with the phone as well. I have since contacted VZW customer service and they are replacing my phone with a refurbished one (hopefully I get it by the end of this week).
    So Tech support told me that somehow my contacts on the BA server got moved to the "trash" bin. I have no idea how that could have happened since, I don't have access to that and only VZW does. Either way, they restored that file and I have gotten most of my contacts back (still missing some). Now when I go to use BA it only backs up 9 contacts and I have almost 200 contacts saved in my phone.
    Anyone have any idea as to why BA is not backing up all of my contacts.
    I have since learned to export all of my contacts to my SD card and SIM card so that I can restore them from there if I need to.\
    Thanks in advanced.

    to further piggy back of of Ann's suggestion - I recommend to store your contacts only with Google.  the VZW backup assistant is not as reliable and not as easily editable.  simply login to your gmail account, and add/edit your contacts there.  they will show up automatically on your phone (provided that you have background data and auto syn turned on).

  • Backup Assistant tells me my PIN is invalid, but it's not?

    Ok so, I am upgrading my LG Octane to an iPhone, and I am trying to use Backup Assistant on my Octane before I switch over, so I can transfer all of my contacts. Heres the problem: I have tried to run BUA MULTIPLE TIMES but it keeps telling me that I have entered an invalid pin, even though I called customer support and they gave me the correct PIN number.. So then, I tried to delete it and re-install it. I removed the app, but SOMEHOW I can still run it under the "contacts" menu on the navigator. Then it tells me I need to re-install Backup Assistant BUT BACKUP ASSISTANT ISNT EVEN AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD!!!! SO NOW, WHEN I TRY TO RUN BUA,  it says "The mobile # for this phone has changed. Press "OK" to update your Backup Assistant account." So I press OK BUT THEN IT TELLS ME THAT MY PIN NUMBER IS INVALID!
    I am beyond furious right now and I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out!!!!!

    Yes, I did something similar to Medic. In fact, I called the Verizon Help Center, and here is what they suggested that I do. Make sure that you already have the PIN number written down.
    Go to the Main Menu.
    Go to Media Center.
    Go to Browse and Download.
    Open Backup Assistant.
    Using the left soft key, open options, then select Help and open it.
    Now, enter the following. The screen itself will not change at all:   * 7 3 7 3 8 3 #
    If done correctly, this should exit the program. Although the program still appears in the Browse and Download menu, it should be effectively uninstalled.
    Power off and then power back on your phone.
    Reopen the Backup Assistant as before, and you should have the option to "restore". The old PIN number should still work.
    I hope this works for you! I know it worked for me!

  • IMovie HD doesn't recognize sound track from MPEG1 files

    My camera creates MPEG1 files which IMovie HD doesn't recognize the sound track. The Apple Store tech told me to purchase Quicktime Pro & save my files as MPEG4. After doing so IMovie finds no audio source.
    Also I tried to reinstall IMovie (not HD) which worked fine, but it won't reinstall.
    What to do?

    no, QT can not 'demuxx' ...
    and avoid re-installs, MacOsX is not Windows.. ;))
    simply download and use for free

    Mpeg Streamclip
    open your mpeg1, choose 'dv stream' as export option.. done.

  • ISangean App doesn't recognize the radio from my iPod Touch 5

    Why can't I get the iSangean App to recognize my Sangean WFR-28 radio?  The same app on my Samsung Note 8, had no problems, so I think it's a iPod issue.  Any experience with this and/or a solution?

    I have never previously seen a post concerning the Sangean WFR-28 radio   in this forum.
    Have you went to Sangean WFR-28 radio's site?
    You can try the standared iPod fixes:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Migration Assistant doesn't recognize old iMac OSX

    I just bought a new iMac 20 inch running Tiger. In the migration assistant (first initial setup), it asks if I would like to transfer files and settings from an old iMac using a FireWire cable (I do). After it prompts me, I boot my "old" iMac (PowerPC G4 running OS 10.2.8) in FireWire Target Disk Mode (pressing "T" while restarting). Then connect the FireWire cable from my old iMac to the new iMac. The migration assistant says that OSX is not installed on my "old" computer (which it is).
    I've done some research on this forum about this topic. I've checked if my old Mac needs a firmware update (it doesn't). How can I fix this problem - I would really like to run the migration assistant from the get-go. Any assistance would be very appreciated. Thanks.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    One thing I don't know if it is relevant, but I found having the same username already created on my new machine when I ran the migration assistant caused it to fail.
    If you haven't created anything essential on your new Mac, run the restore disks over again, and create an alternative user name:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61802
    Once that is done, then try to run the Migration Assistant from the Applications -> Utilities folder, and then login the old username and delete the new one.

  • 2008 MacBook Boot Camp Assistant doesn't recognize Windows XP install disk

    I'm trying to install Boot Camp, so I put in my Windows XP installation disk, which the computer recognizes because it shows up on the desktop, but when I run the Boot Camp Assistant, it says "The installer disk could not be found. Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized."
    Any help?

    That the disk is recognized in Leopard does not mean it's the right disk.
    The Windows disk must be XP w/SP2 embedded, or Vista.
    It must also be a full install disk, not an update or restore disk, and not a ISO-image disk.

  • MBP Pro doesn't recognize Pages docs from iPad, vice versa

    Beacuse I'd like to be able to experience the wonderful seamlessness of the new cloud with Mountain Lion, I downloaded Mountain Lion onto my MacBook Pro, as well as the Pages app (I previously had Pages '09), in addition to downloaded the Pages app for iOS (iPad 2 and iPhone 4S).
    I thought that in theory, I could start a document on the iPad/Phone and it woudl appear on the MBP, as well, as vice versa. That has not happened. Specifically, I was taking notes last week on the iPad and when it didn't pop up on my MBP or the Cloud on the MBP, i email the document as Pages document to myslef and thought I could just open it on the MBP then and it'd appear as a new Pages doc there. Well, when i downloaded the Pages doc from the iPad onto the MBP, I got a message saying The open XML file could not be opened because there are problemns with it, and The file is corrupt and cannot be opened. How can it be corrupt? I just created it a few days ago on the iPad? Also, when i follow prompts to open the document, the message box is a Word one? Why is Word then stepping in to try to open it? Shouldn't an Apple app on one machine recognize a document made on an Apple app on another device? I should point out this has happened everytime I've tried to share documents on my mac devices via Pages.
    Also, kind of related, when i go to the options of what to do with the file on the iPad, i get the option to use iwork -- but of course there is no iWork anymore. So why hasn't this option beeen updated? Why not just a 'save to cloud' option? And what's this 'send to itunes' option? I selected that for one document and of course that didn't work, either.
    Thanks so much.

    You do need to turn on iCloud syncing on the iOS devices as it is not on by default. Go to Settings & scroll way down to the apps area & tap on Pages & turn iCloud syncing on. The same applies to your Macs, go to System Preferences > iCloud & check Documents & Data. Of course, you must have a iCloud account.

  • I updated to Lightroom 4.4, and it doesn't recognize RAW files from a Nikon D300s.

    I updated Lightroom this past week to V.4.4.  Now, I cannot import any photos because Lightroom does not recognize the RAW photos.  Prior to the update, it recognized the files and imported photos without any problem.  Now I'm dead in the water.  Any advise as to how to fix this?  Or revert back to a prior version of Lightroom?

    Are you by any chance using Nikon Transfer to copy the files from your memory card to your computer?  If so, that could be the problem because there is a known issue with Nikon Transfer making some small change to each file.  If this isn't the problem, are you using LR to import directly from the camera or from the card via a card reader?  That could be the issue.  Try copying the files using Windows Explorer or Mac Finder to a folder on your hard drive and then see if LR can import from there.  That may help you narrow down the issue.  I have a D300s and have not had this problem with LR 4.4.
