Hello Benterry
Welcome to Support Forums
I assume you have BlackBerry Data Plan / BIS already on your account , if you don't have then call you carrier to activate that it will fix your current issues with BBM7.
If you already have that ( BIS ) on your account then you can try this to see if that help . First On your Homescreen go to Options > Device > Application Management > Delete BlackBerry Messenger from the list , then perform a Battery pull restart by removing the Battery while your device is Powered On .
Then Reset your BlackBerry ID password , For help refer to this Knowledge Base :
KB26361 :How to change or reset a BlackBerry ID password.
Once you have reset your BBID password login with your new BlackBerry ID password on your device.Finally from your BlackBerry browser browse to www.blackberry.com/bbm and download the most recent version of BBM available for your device. After installing your device may reboot and associate with your BlackBerry ID.
Try it to see if that help or you have to contact your Carrier to know about your current problem .

i generally back up and restore my phone every week.. just that i dont have any problem with the network issues. !!
today at 00:46 1st june.. i backed up my iphone and it was perfect...
when i try to restore it.. it is taking 15+ hours .. and that time stays like that for almost 3 hours... it does not happen.

but earlier i din need to do any of it.!!! it worked really fine .!!!
please help me..!!! i got some important details in this back up.... please help me.!!!

Once in a while the restore process seems to mess up. What I don't understand is why you would perform a weekly restore.
At any rate, if you must restore, perform a device reset (settings>general>reset) and then you will have the opportunity to restore from iCloud. Restore a device whenever it no longer works correctly, not just as a matter of maintenance. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Itunes taking forever to restore my Ipad

trying to restore my Ipad 2 It almost completes then just stalls

I assume that you trying to restore with iTunes on you computer. You may have a corrupt backup that is causing the restore process to stall. You can delete the backup and try again. You can move the backup to another location on your hard drive if you do not want to delete it and then try to restore.
To delete the backup, launch iTunes on your computer and at the top to to File>Preferences>Devices and find that backup and highlight it. Then click on delete backup.
If you want to move the backup to another place on your computer you can find it here. This is copied from this site.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

Iphone taking FOREVER to restore

ive been trying to update my iphone for 2 days now, where this keeps constantly happening to me. it stays at this point for periods over 8 hours long. ive tried redownloading the firmware, restarting my laptop and putting it into dfu mode before hand as well.

Try a different computer. If that still does not work try one of your friends computers. That issue is normally caused by ether a slow Internet connection or a slow computer. But because the iPhone can still communicate to apple it does not give an error message

TM restore taking forever...

I am restoring from a clean install via a network drive and it is taking forever. Is it supposed to take this long?

See #29 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for some rough guidelines.
And be sure you're doing it right -- starting with your Snow Leopard Install disc, per #14 in that same link.

System restore taking forever

after instaling windows updates i restored windows and its taking forever right now its at restoring rejistery and its been there for about 3 hours what should i do?
thanks

Yup! it is frozen.
I got the same problem with my system just last week. I tried re-do it a few times, no resolved.
I first tried with SSD, everything went smoothly until I removed the last disc from the PC and the computer started installing all original factory softwares. I left it overnight and even half of a day next day. It kept going....
I decided shut it down and re-do it with a brand new 1TB HDD, it did the same thing...
Then I tried it with another brand new 1.5TB HDD, same thing happened...
I was just about to give up, but I thought I gona give it one time try. This time I got another 320GB HDD.. It did the same.
Then I just remembered I connected all those drives to the SATA slot other than the slot that my old C: drive was connected to.
I reconnected the new 320GB to this old "C:" slot SATA and tried to restore again... guess what? It works...
My problem solved!!!!
Hope this helps!

My e mail is taking forever to download.

My e mail is taking forever to download. It comes through fine on my i phone via the same wireless router. It is showing the amount of e mails being downloaded, I know there are no large files in there. Its as if something is blocking or slowing down the download. The rest of the computer works fine, as does outgoing mail. Any clues anyone?

Has the unit EVER been jailbroke? Has it EVER been dropped? Did it EVER get excessively wet? Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
If "No" to all the above, first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Time machine to airdisk taking forever...maybe a gig an hour

So I set up my Airport Extreme Airdisk as a Time Machine disk. I started the first backup and its taking forever...if I am lucky its sending a gig an hour on an 802.11n machine.
Any thoughts?

It seems that Time Machine uses Apple's disk imaging mechanism.
The version of this in Leopard uses a helper app called diskimages-helper. You can see it in the process list of Activity Monitor when running Time Machine, Disk Utility or Carbon Copy Cloner disk imaging.
This app seems to have issues with images larger than around 80GB. I have now shown that whether started by Time Machine, Disk Utility or Carbon Cloner images between 120 and 200GB run flat chat (disk limited) for the first 80GB or so and then slow down dramatically.
How much data are you trying to backup?
On the upside, once the first copy is made. incremental Time Machine backups seem to be very fast. Perhaps if you set time Time Machine with enough exclusions to get the first image down to 80GB, it may be possible to add the rest later. I have not tried this.
On the topic of should you use an airdisk: I see that it is a requirement that the backup disk/share supports ACLs. I think Airdisk might be OK for data files, but probably will not restore a full working boot disk. Have you tried that?

Qosmio X500-128, taking forever to boot also Toshiba service station error

Hi
My toshiba qosmio x500-128 is taking forever to boot up these days, iver rolled back the system using system restore, ive stopped any unessential startup services that i know are not req at startup but the system still takes forever to boot, ive also updated to the latest BIOS etc
Another thing is that everytime i login i get the error that Toshiba Service station has stopped working...
any help would be greatly appreciated

So if I am to do a system reformat. I am no novice with computers but by no means completely efficient at everything. What is the "best-practice" when doing a system reformat?
Burn a reformat disc from the system utilities?
Is there a way to reformat that would install the latest drivers/BIOS?
I am going to have a headache with the stuff on my HDD, eg. iTunes, photos, university work don't think I have enough space on my extra HDD's to store it all then to re-transfer it all back... :(
Lets just say I'm not looking forward to doing it, and I am the one everyone goes to to do these sort of things for, I don't mind if I mess up their computers that much but this laptop is my baby :D

I'm having the same issue. My iPod video now blinks on and off with the apple logo every 3-5 seconds. The HD clicks as well, but nothing happens. It has been like this for about an hour now, and my iTunes does not even recognize that my iPod is connected. Is there something wrong with the iPod update that we are not aware of? And if so, how can I restore my software without having to reinstall all of my songs and videos? This is really frustrating, and there should be some kind of warning about problems that can occur with new software updates.

I also can't do anything else on the ipod until it is done downloading. Is the amount of time its taking to download this map normal????

Great
Ok so this is what you need to do:
You need to put it in DFU mode:
How to enter iPhone DFU mode
Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected
When you are in DFU mode your iPhone Screen will be completely black
Even though the screen is black, that doesn’t mean the device can’t be interfaced with either iTunes or a custom firmware client (for jailbreaking, etc).
Remember that if you see the restore logo, itunes logo or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode. Again, DFU mode is signified by having a completely black screen on the device. If anything else is the case, repeat the steps above until you enter into DFU mode successfully.
Now you can restore - once restore is completed the Exit DFU mode
Exit DFU mode on iPhone
The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.

I'm backing up my new iphone 5 from icloud and it's taking forever to download my photos. It being going for four days. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm backing up my new iphone 5 from icloud and it's taking forever for my photos to download. It's been going for 4 days. It's downloaded 1400 out of 1900 photos. Am I doing something wrong?

I think you may not using the right technical terms. When backing up to icloud, there is no way you'd get a message saying things will be wiped. This message may be displayed when you are performing a RESTORE from a backup and then trying to cancel it.
If you are doing a restore, then you can reboot and restore again.
