Blackberry Link - accessing backed up contacts
I already backed up my BlackBerry before, how can I actually see all the contacts on my computer from the back up?

The only way is to restore the backup onto a BB10 device
Using the Playbook and the Z10 and the Z30 and loving them

Accessing backed up contacts for two phones
I have multiple phones on my account, but can access the backed up contacts only for one of the phones. I read another thread that said you have to setup a separate account for each line to do this, but how can you setup a separate account for multiple phones on the same account? Trying to register a second time with the other line specified doesn't work because the number is seen as belonging to the same account.
I can't believe Verizon would have prevented this from being done.As Ann154 said, you need to log out of the master account completely to set up (register) each line for it's own account. Separate browsers or even computers will work too, if you have those options. The initial setup of each line is a bit of a hassle, but once each line IS set up on it's own account, with it's own password, Backup Assistant will work properly for each phone.
Having separate accounts also allows you to purchase (if you are so inclined) ringtones and ringback tones for each line, and gives you access to cloud storage for each line separate from the others.
Hope this helps. -
Not Working: BlackBerry Link Remote File Access Remove Old BlackBerry from BB ID
I have: removed my blackberry q10 from blackberry link, wiped my q10, uninstalled and reinstalled blackberry link, have link version 1.1.1.32, blackberry q10 os version 10.1.0.2309 - which whenever I plug in the q10 after removing the device from link, says there is an os update, so I update it, and then it does nothing apart from rebooting the q10, or gives an error saying 'updates not available. Please check internet connection and retry.'.
Also, I have Logout/login on blackberry link, I know my q10 is activated as I have purchased items from app world, and on the computer the app world site shows that I have a q10 when I sign in. I am using the same BBID and have changed the password on my q10 to see if that made a difference, then signed out and back into link on computer with updated password. I have administrator rights on my computer.
I can access the q10 from my computer over the same wifi network, and it syncs files fine with wireless sync turned on. It is remote file access not giving the option to connect to my q10. 'BBID *email* isn't associated with a device running Blackberry 10 OS or an error occurred when trying to retrieve your information from the Blackberry ID servers.'
The problem is that although I have the same blackberry id for link and my q10, no devices show up on the remote file access screen, and I cannot access my files on my computer from my q10, yet I can sync them on my computer over the wifi network. How can I enable Remote File Access?
A problem could be that I have a Curve 9300 on my BB ID account, so if I could disable this (which I have no idea how to do after a lot of research), this might rectify why link cannot set up remote file access.
What I haven't done is wiped my q10 and uninstalled all user data from link at the same time, as then I would have to manually reload everything on my q10.
My q10 shows my computer in the settings\blackberry link\paired devices , but I 'cannot view files on *computer*'. Also, link does not show in the file manager. I set up my q10 as a permanent link not a one-off connection.No one cares because it's not a z10 (I know because I am having the same problem and no one knows how to fix it and no threads for q10 fix)
Slàinte.

Failure to sync contacts and calendar from Outlook through BlackBerry Link after update
Hi everyone,
I have both z10 and z30. I have been syncronizing my Outlook contacts and calendars to both of them through Blackberry Link. My z10 automatically updated several days ago and I lost everythiing on the phone including contacts, calendar, texts, phots, etc. And then the same thing happend to my z30...
Now I am trying to sync my Outlook contacts and calendars to them through Blackberry Link as I always did but it turned out unsuccessful. It stops at 'Getting status from Blackberry calendar' and it also pops out a message saying 'BLACKBERRY-7D1B Sync was unsuccessful. An error has occurred during an attempt to access to device data.'
I already tried to reinstall Blackberry Link and reset my phones but neither of these worked out.
Please help. Thank you!This is exactly what I am dealing with. Blackberry Link will work great for awhile and then something happens and I can not sync my contacts. I have spent many hours and days trying to fix this to no avail. BB support has been great but I still go through a long process each time. This week I finally gave up and started using the Microsoft Hotmail Outlook Connector since my company does not offer Active Sync or Exchange. It works flawlessly. I would dedfinitely check it out. If you swith to a Widows Phone or Android this is one of the options they recommend you use.
In a nutshell Link is awful and BB should be ashamed of the product they put on the market. I will only use it for syncing pictures and documents. Good luck! -
I've got Blackberry Link installed, but I can't get my BB to sync with my Outlook contacts
I've got Outlook 2010 installed on my laptop.
Blackberry link appears to have installed properly.
When I try to sync my Q5 with Outlook I don't get any error messages, but after the process is completed I check Outlook and none of the contacts have sync'd from my phone to Outlook (but it has successfully sync'd the existing contacts from Outlook to my phone).
Edit: should probably mention that my email address is a gmail account, and most of the contacts in my BB are being pulled from my gmail contacts. Does that make a difference?http://www.google.com/sync/index.html
Not sure if the above link will help, worth a look. -
Blackberry Link - not recognizing device and does not allow synching calendar and contacts
I cannot get Blackberry Link to work properly on my laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro. It takes a very long time to open and it does not allow me to sign in saying there is no internet connection and I cannot get around resolving this issue. That is problem 1. Problem 2, Blackberry Link sometimes recognizes the device and sometimes it does not. Problem 3, when I do get Link to recognize the device, (it can backup), synching the calender and contacts on the device to Outlook does not work. I try to do a one way synch from the device to outlook and it processes but Outlook is not updated (outlook has no contacts or calendar events as I want to pull them off my device).
Any ideas? Thanks.Hello RankinWilbur44

Mac OS 10.8.6 contacts to Z10 Via USB and BlackBerry Link
Have an iMac with 10.7. Appointments with my Z10 are currently synced via a USB cable with Apple iCal Using a USB cable. Want to upgrade to a newer version of Mac OS 10.8. Mac OS 10.8 no longer has iCal but Calendar instead. Does BlackBerry Link work with Calendar the same way it does with iCal and sync with the Z10. In BlackBerry Link, there is a specific option to work with iCal, not sure if this was to make it work with iCal and that it will work Calendar as well. Maintaining sync with calendars is most important to me right now and the OS upgrade would let me use another application that I trying out... Again maintaining calendar sync is a must.
Confirmation that BlackBerry Link syncs to the Z10 from Calendar via a USB connection would be appreciated. Downgrading an OS not pleasant.I have a Mac Air and use Calender.
I have my Gmail calender synced(?)/conected to my Calender (click on "Calenders" in the top right of the screen and add it.
I have my Blackberry calender linked to the same gmail account and they sync as well. It seems to work.
I am however unable to sync the contacts on my apple to my blackberry. But I can sync from my blackberry to my computer..............
Any answers? -
my iphones broken and i'm getting a new one today, i haven't synced this one with itunes, is all my data backed up on icloud? so i can access all my contacts and photos through icloud on the new device?
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you have been previously using iCloud with your old phone, then when you login to your iCloud account with your new phone all the data from the services you were using will be added to your new phone. -
I'm trying to sync my contacts and calendar from my Q10 to Outlook on my PC. I have downloaded Blackberry Link and connect my Q10 via USB. When I ran the sync it set up a new contact group on my BB in the name of my PC but doesn't copy the contacts from my BB to my PC. I now have three contact groups on my BB (work, gmail, & now PC).
On the Calender/Contacts sync screen, under Settings, there's a "Configure" link beside both Contacts and Calander. Saw a Youtube video that says this is where to go to set the sync to two way but every time I click on this link a Windows box pops up saying BlackBerry Link has stopped working and it needs to close. I've deleted and uploaded Blackberry Link several tiems but it still hapens.
I have explored the solution from www.bb10outlooksync.com but there are indications that this may wipe out the contact data on the Q10 on the initial sync so not comfortable running this yet. Having an equally difficult time trying to figure out how to backup the contacts on my Q10.
I also don't want to send my contacts to a website so looking for a USB solution. Can anyone help with this?I am not sure but this might help:

Z10 phone not appearing on BlackBerry Link and contacts not transferred
Hi
I have loaded BlackBerry Link onto my Laptop and, plugged in my phone and it picked it up the first time. Subsequent attempts do not show the phone, How do I resolve it?
When I initially did a sync - it downloaded my outlook calender, but it said that no contacts were found - even though I have hundreds ? Any ideas why?
Thanks

None? I guess mine and so many others who love the way it works (because -- yes, the hardware AND the software do work) are the anomaly.
Do you realize it is completely acceptable to not like the device without silly, blatantly untrue and flaming comments like that? It really is ok for you to say you don't like it, and just walk away.
And, you're always welcome to ask questions and get help here in this forum. Or, to all and get technical support which you are paying O2 for ... personally, I would demand it.

I don't have my phone anymore and need to get access to my contact list. Is there a way to get into my backed up info from the PC I'm using right now?
You can use another iPhone (or iPad) to restore it too, or you can login to www.icloud.com (assumng you weer using iCloud) and export your contacts from there.

WD java-Blackberry link not working
Hi,
I have a application which has two links that the user gets via a mail which is trigered automatically once the billing form is saved for approval (Mangaer gets the mail which on clicking opens a wd java application).
1. For general user and other
2.For Blackberry users.
This application was working properly with previous versions of ECC.But after a recent patch update ECC 6.0 EHP4,the blackberry link is not working properly.After searching the sdn I came to know that the recent update allows only encrypted url
to be sent and decrypted at the server (/thread/1769302 [original link is broken]).
Please suggest me how do i get the url as per the current ECC EHP4 patch so that the approver on clicking the blackberry link will be directed to the Webdynpro application that we have developed.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Ranjan.Well I am sure it will get fixed, the big question is when ? I like you have a Blackberry phone and a Mac Book Pro and did not update to Yosemite yet but it is only a matter of time as there will be no more updates for Mavericks and Apple keeps popping up reminding me every time I open a program.
Things move too fast today and everyone wants to be the best so the upgrades just keep coming and coming giving us little time to adjust and making others play catch-up and there seems to be many more issues that have to be fixed.
When they do get fixed along comes another upgrade and it starts all over again. Change is good but I think most people will opt out of change for reliability.
Please let me know how Media sync works and don't forget you can still use BB Device Manager for most things but not all.
I use only BB Device Manager as my Contacts and Calendar are backed up at MSN. -
Cannot install Blackberry Link
I just purchased a Z10.
I am running Windows 7 on my laptop and cannot get Blackberry Link to install. I get Error 1920. I turned off all firewalls and security and I am logged in as Administrator. I called Blackberry Support number, and they told me it was a Microsoft issue and I would need to contact Microsoft. Microsoft will charge me for the support call,so I am looking for any other information about this.
I like this phone, but may take it back if I cannot get it to install as I have been unable to get all my contacts to transfer from my droid phone.
Any suggestions?Hey shinessun9,

Restoring with Blackberry Link
Help please,
Moved to Blackberry Classic. I have groups setup in my contacts to do group text messages. When I back with Blackberry Link and then restore the Classic from the desktop the groups are removed.
Had a Bold 9900 with Balckberry desktop before and there was no problem with the groups staying in tack on a restore.
What I am I missing?Nithriver wrote:
Thanks for your reply. The issue with my BlackBerry classic, is that if I establish a group of contacts on the phone and then back that up through BlackBerry Link and then restore the phone from the backup, the group that was created in contacts is wiped out. This was not a problem when I was backing up my BlackBerry Bold.
Thanks
I understood the above from your first post, more info is needed to troubleshoot your issue so answering the questions I asked might help.
