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!

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 - 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.

Photoshop tells me that my Subscription expired, but it's not.

Hey everyone. I have a really annoying problem. I have downloaded Photoshop via the Creative Cloud App and once I open it, it tells me that my Subscription is expired. I click on "Try again" and then it tells me, that it was activated successfully. Once I click continue it tells me again, that my subscription expired – This continues infinitely. I have fresh installed my System (OS X Yosemite) and tried it also on my other System. So what's the deal? I appreciate your help a lot!

Thank you but all that not worked. I'm stuck in a infinite activation loop. It tells me that my account is activated and right after that, that it's not, and this repeats infinitely on all systems.
I really think that this is a server-side issue. I never had this issue. It happened when my Subscription expired and I bought a new (yearly) subscription.
I really appreciate your help, but I think, that this is a bigger issue.

HT1918 I am typing in the security code and it is saying it is invalid, but it is not

Please help! When I try to type in my security code it says that is invalid !

Let's double check with iTS first to make sure it's not due to blocks & locks.

Why is my phone not letting me log in to my poker app it tells me I'm logged in but I'm not and then it won't even let me log in either

I don't understand this its the only thing on my iphone 4 I have ever had

Delete the app, restart the phone and reinstall.
If it doesn't work, get in touch with the app developer

"Serial number you entered is invalid" - but it's not!

I have Dreamweaver 11.5. I can go to the Adobe site and get my serial number off my account info. I really need to use this, yet every month it asks me to input serial number again. Help! I spent 2 hours on chat last time making this work, and now it won't again.

Pin backup assistant

I have a blackberry 9330 which have had no problems until now. It started shutting down once in the evening. Was able to restart. I took it to a service center about the problem. Idea was to reset to factory defaults. Did so. Before leaving the center contacts were updated. After coming home, when I do backup assistant, it asks for pin. Put in correct number. Keeps asking for a pin. Even tried to change it. Have deleted and reloaded it three times. Still will not sync due to pin. Question is now what?

Answer to my own question. After trying to figure out different ways to make things work, finally called customer service for Verizon. We tried again to delete and reinstall the backup assistant. We figured out it was trying to reinstall the same program that was still showing up on the phone. In essence, it was not deleting the program. Like I had said it was working when I left the store. The only thing that was accomplished was that I had sync'd my backup with phone and then it wasn't working. It gave me a thought. Corrupt backup. I wiped the phone and started over from scratch. Reloaded all my apps through blackberry via the computer. Reloaded backup assistant. Now working with no problems. Answer is that somehow the backup became corrupt and would not update until that backup was removed. Anybody else having these problems might want to look at that.

I have had the same problem. Best Buy accidentally set my phone to my mom's number, Backup Assistant synced with her contacts, then I realized the problem. They were able to switch numbers but then my BA wouldn't work. I have all of my contacts from Google, but I'd still like to sync up with BA. Whenever I try, it tells me that either the PIN is wrong, my phone number has changed, or the PIN is for another account/MDN (or something like that.) This is very frustrating.. I can't figure out how to uninstall then reinstall BA or even reset it so I can back up the contacts I have now. Please help!!!!!
Thanks for posting. Have you tried logging onto Backup Assistant (BUA) from the website? Have you tried setting up BUA on another phone? If you have taken these measures already then please PM me your number and I will reset your pin using the resources I have. Thanks.

How to sync more than phone numbers from Backup Assistant to LG Octane?

On the LG Octane, I have been told that I can Import contacts from Outlook 2010. Also I can edit and add contacts in Backup Assistant. This I can do. But when I sync the phone to Backup Assistant all that appears on the phone contacts list is the person's name and phone numbers. The lines for address, email, etc are blank. These items do not transfer from Backup Assistant. What is wrong?

Backup Assistant supports most address book fields; however, there are some address book fields and settings that may not be accessible.
Supported Fields
Mobile 1
Home
Work
Email 1
Mobile 2
Email 2
Fax
Unsupported Fields
Groups/Category
Ringtone
Text Messaging Ringtone
Picture ID
Secret
Speed Dial
Voice Mail
Some information may not sync to the device because there may not be a specific address book field for the contact information.
Sign in to the Back Up Assistant website and press the Sync button.

Website Backup Assistant inop

Hi, and thanks in advance for your consideration.
When I log in to My Account on VZWWireless, and go to Backup Assistant, it starts to load my contacts, but I continually see the black/red circling arrow icon. Thinking it just needed more time, I gave it an hour. Still thinking, so I left it over night, and this morning it was still hung up on the circling icon. Any help? Thanks. (yes, I have cleared my cache for this website.) Thank You!

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 do you fix Backup Assistant Plus Lost Network

I have a Samsung S4 Mini. It came with Verizon's Backup Assistant Plus installed. I believe it should backup my contacts to a Verizon server somewhere. However, since the day I got the phones, Backup Assistant Plus fails every night with a "Lost Network Connection. Please Try Again". It doesn't matter if it connected by WiFi or Verizon 4g data. The error will happen if the Sync Contacts is checked or un-checked. The only options for this app are a check box for Sync Contacts and the Sync Time. There isn't any option to Remove Account, Disable, or Un-install. I've tried Clear Data and Clear Cache. There is some vague information on Verizon saying the Verizon Cloud replaces Backup Assistant Plus. I enabled Verizon Cloud and it seems to backup my contacts ok. But Backup Assistant Plus continues to attempt and fail.
- I do not want Verizon backing up anything, How do I disable, or remove Backup Assistant Plus?
- If I can't remove Backup Assistant Plus, How do I stop the constant Backup Assistant Plus failures?
- If Verizon Cloud replaces Backup Assistant Plus, why is it still installed and running?
- And the obvious question - - Why does Verizon insist on backing up my contacts whether I want to or not?

I just had a similar problem and tried many of the steps on these Blogs. None of them worked. But I did get it working by turning on my Data. I normally keep Data off and use WiFi as much as possible so the Sync was failing and I was getting the Lost Network notice. But as soon as I turned on Data it started uploading and downloading my contacts. That was all BAP. But I could go to the Cloud and update via WiFi just fine.
So, why did I still work to get BAP working? BAP was stuck in a loop to try and get the Backup done. Since it couldn't it tried repeatedly and I believe it is why my battery was draining more rapidly than normal. Hopefully by turning on DATA the battery may last longer. If not I need to turn BAP to manual backups only. I hope I can find out how to do that.
