Backup assistant- how to save notes?
I can backup my contacts, but how do i find online so i can save to my computer all the notes i had input throughout the past years I've had this phone?
You posted this in the Basic phones, so there likely isn't an easy way to do this. You might look into BitPim, a third party software that allows you to see system files on the phone via the USB connection, and you can download (copy) them to your computer. It doesn't work with all phones, but it does work well for some of the older, basic phones.
What phone do you have?

Backup Assistant and Verizon Cloud not working correctly
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII. Been using BU Assistant Plus a long time. Recently found out about "Cloud"...downloaded it, installed it, can't load it. Have repeatedly downloaded, installed, tried to load, uninstalled, reinstall.... I've about had it. Neither Back Up Assistance Plus, or Cloud are working properly. Cloud - not at all. I click the icon, the red screen appears with a gray radio button that says, "Get Started". I press it, then after 5 seconds the screen goes black, a dialog box appears saying that the app has been stopped, do I want to send an error report, which I do send... Anyone have a clue? Same happens on my son's Stratosphere 2 and husband's Lucid... Please advise! Thx
Message was edited by: Admin ModeratorI am having exactly the same problem~ SO, so frustrating, as I do all my updating on my phone, not the cloud or my desktop computer!! And, likewise I called about hte issue and got the same advice as Spikey and did the same thing with the same shocking results (deleting all contacts on my phone). They told me to go into Settings, "backup assistant Plus" and make sure the "sync contacts" button is turned off first, then go log into my account online, delete all the contacts there, then come back to phone and choose the "backup now" button at the bottom of the "backup assistant plus" screen under settings. I did all this, and while there LITERALLY saw the box for "sync contacts" check itself back on and start sycing with the cloud, where I had just deleted all my contacts with the intent of uploading all the current, newly update info from my phone onto the cloud~ Instead all this automatic stuff started happening and the cloud started syncing my contacts to my phone, which is to say, it deleted all my contacts because the account online had just been cleared out~ I was so bummed, can't even tell you how long it took to update everything to current manually over a couple weeks on my phone and it was all gone~ Turns out I went into the trash online and was able to undelete all my deleted contacts from the online verizon account, (mind you, these were the out-of-date ones I was trying to replace with my current phone ones), and then the cloud automatically synced all these old contacts onto my phone again. So not only did I not get to send the new ones to the cloud, but the cloud sent back all the old ones replacing the work I had done.
I'm not at all convinced that they understand at verizon how to get around this. I would be really glad if anyone else has and could pipe in here. It's a real problem. -
Backup Assistant how to schedule on BB
How do we get BU Assistant to ask to set a schedule for backing up?
On my older LG phone, I had a choice of backing up morning, afternoon, night. I don't see a choice either on the BB or online at the BU assistant web site. It only asks if I want to restore when I click the icon.
Online there is a sync button but I don't know if that does a bu from the cell or only from online to the cell if I do editing online. I clicked the sync button (on my computer) and it's been "syncing" for 15 minutes....
My husband has over 400 contacts (business and personal) and needs a reliable backup assist so knowing the details of when is important.
Otherwise - if I do a backup on the Blackberry software, how do I read it? Or is it only proprietary and does a restore from the software?
So many questions when you do a new type of phone....I still did not have that menu but my spouse did. So I uninstalled and reinstalled after a new download and it's working. So it was a bad installation the first time.
I am grateful for a forum like this to help and be helped. Thanks... -
Lg cosmos 2 Backup Assistant - How do I DELETE!?
Every morning I wake up and I must unlock my phone to the cancel the frozen Backup Assistant. I have deleted the App, but it comes back every time you restart the APPs section. How do you complete remove it? This is really ridiculous. It even charges you for the transfer. Why would someone want to . Is this a ploy by Verizon to get extra money daily out of people like me who are not signed up for a data plan.
So it is supposedly "FREE" but charges you! This is really lame and not legal to not let customers remove an app that is "FREE" yet charges you for usage..
It a "FREE" app alright, free to download, but not free to use. I am ok with this since there is a disclaimer at the bottom of the page, but at least have an easy to loacte area of how to remove the app or disable it! These kind of tactics are why people do not trust companies.
Please do not give me the same old lame customer service answer redirecting me to some other form telling me how to reschedule or the other stuff. If you can't help me do not reply like you did to the other exact same question sand give a bo bo answer VZW "Pros".Hi, verizonuser3000-
I'm sorry for the concerns you have experiencing on the Cosmos 2! To remove the application, you want to navigate to Browse and Download, then just highlight Backup Assistant (without pressing OK to open), then you'll see Options appear in the lower right corner. Select Options, then 'Cancel Subscription' to confirm and remove. After removal, you can then redownload it and start as a new user with your new mobile telephone number. I hope that helps!
Thank you,

How to save notes on the computer
My iPod touch 5th gen broke and the iTunes store is replacing but I dont want to loose all of my notes in the Notes App. Can I save them to the computer?
What kind of computer? Do you have iCloud installed on both the iPod and the Computer? Do you have your notes turned on for both in iCloud?
Cheers,

Does your Verizon Backup Assistant work
4/5/2012
ALL,
My Verizon "Backup Assistant Plus" will NOT sync my contacts. Anyone else having this problem?
I can sync with Google okay and, of course, with Data Pilot 7 but not Backup Assistant so it's not big deal.
In fact today my wife just bought a new Charge phone and it immediately sync'ed okay. BTW, we like to have the same phones for trouble shooting.
4/7/2012
I thought I would add this. I talked to some folks at a Verizon store and they said that some Charge phones just will NOT sync using Backup Assistant. As I already said, I really like Data Pilot 7 better anyhow.
JerryFMonday - 4/9/2012
I might have discovered why one of our two Charge phones can use Verizon's BackUp Assistant (BU-Asst) and the other Charge phone cannot use it.
When I looked at the contact list in my wife's new Charge phone to the right of each individual contact there is a RED colored symbol signifying VERIZON. This phone is able to backup/sync the contacts using Verizon's BU-Asst but this phone CANNOT backup/sync to her GOOGLE account.
Furthermore, when I looked at the contact list in my older Charge phone to the right of each contact there is a BLACK colored symbol signifying GOOGLE. This phone CANNOT backup/sync the contacts to Verizon's BU-Asst but it can backup/sync the contacts to my GOOGLE account.
Maybe if I could get both the Verizon RED symbol and the Google BLACK symbol to the right of each of our contacts we could backup/sync to both Verizon and Google. Does anyone know how to do this???
Take a look at your contact list. Is your backup/sync ability limited so you can only backup/sync to either Verizon (the RED symbol) or Google (the black symbol).
In reality we may have sealed our own fate when we originally chose where to save the contacts. Think back, do you remember when you had to make a choice between Verizon (red), SIM Card (who knows the color), or Google (Black). See atached photo. To bad we cannot have both or all three. It makes me wonder if someone had chosen SIM CARD instead of the Verizon (RED or Google BLACK) symbol. That person may not have been able to backup/sync to either Verizon or Goggle.

Get rid of "Get Backup Assistant" nuisance popup on Message+ (PC).
I use Message+ on my PC. It is great to be able to respond to texts with a real keyboard. My only complaint is the annoying popup that instantly tells me to set up Backup Assistant.
I do not use Backup Assistant. My contacts are stored in Exchange-linked accounts. I do not have contacts saved to my phone, because then I would need an additional service like Backup Assistant, when presently I just sync my email and my contacts live there. I would disable on-phone contacts if I knew I could. I went onto the website as linked and cannot set up Backup Assistant; this is a work phone and I am not the account manager. But I still get this annoying popup in the otherwise-handy Messages+. Maybe someone at Verizon could look into adding a "do not ask again" option to this popup?Quick bump to see if anyone from Verizon can offer something here? If not I may just ditch the Message+ thing altogether. A popup seems like such a minor thing, until it pops up while writing emails, during presentations, during technical support desktop sharing...

HTC DNA Backup Assistant won't work since 1/1/13
HELP! No matter what we've done - hard reset and GOT A BRAND NEW HTC DNA - still backup assistant won't work since 1/1/13. This is NOT anything to do with Facebook.
This all started with that same 1/1/13 error that so many of you got. The tech also had me clear the contact storage. That worked for the error. But since then I don't have contacts. I have talked to at least 7 Verizon techs, one HTC tech, then spent 2.5 hours in the Verizon store today. Ended up with a brand new HTC DNA (mine was only one week old) for free.. and we immediately tried to sync to Backup ASsistant and it still won't work on the new phone. I have 521 contacts stored online in My Verizon Backup Assistant and they will not, no matter what we try, sync to my phone. So frustrated. Anyone else experiencing this?
~TamiAfter all my hell- after so many calls and trips to Verizon...as well as getting a new phone..... guess what FINALLY worked:
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-faqs/10144-migrating-contacts-phone-backup-assistant-google-contacts.html
Now I finally see ALL my contacts in "people" when I select my phone icon and people. But now I'm trying to test it out by composing a new text message and all these people aren't showing up there. Does it just take a lot of time!?!? Since I did import 524 contacts from BUA to Google?... will it just take time for these contacts to be available for me to text!?!? HELP.. (again). -
Backup Assistant for 2nd line?
The Backup Assistant page in My Services (on the Verizon Wireless website) only shows my primary number's address book for the Backup Assistant - how can I get this to look at my secondary line? I just downloaded the app to this 2nd phone, and would like to use it. Thanks.
You need to log out of MyVerizon entirely, and then register for a 2nd account using the second number. Each line needs to have it's own log in to access Backup manager.
If you enter the second number and it says it's already registered, then you need to clear your cookies and totally log out before trying to log in again. -
Where are all my contacts using Backup Assistant?
I am trying to back up all contacts on my IPhone 5. I updated using the backup assistant and do not have the entire list.
On ICloud they all appear to be there. I am just trying to have a backup if my phone broke.Thanks for the additional info, Mpag! If I understand correctly, the contacts you have in Backup Assistant right now are not a match for what's on your phone. If that's accurate, then I recommend against attempting to synchronize with Backup Assistant out of concerns that the data that's online may override what you have on your device. Instead, use iCloud to backup what's on your device now, and THEN synchronize with Backup Assistant They should blend, bringing both your work and personal contacts into one place on your iPhone. Then, going forward, each backup with your choice (Backup Assistant or iCloud) should have an up-to-date version of your contacts list.
You can get details on iCloud at this link: https://www.icloud.com/

These instructions don't help me because there is no "Backup Assistant" icon:

Is there another way to "open" Backup Assistant?@NeedSomeAdvice, on the HTC Incredible, Backup Assistant is a sync app.
Go to menu->settings->accounts and sync. You should see backup assistant here. If not, simply click on "Add Account" in the bottom right and add Backup Assistant to the list of synced accounts. Follow the instructions on screen to configure it. -
