Blackberry Q5 Media Card Encrypted. Cannot View files after doing Wipe

I have Blackberry Q5 media card that was encrypted. When it was full a removed that and changed with the new SD card. Later, I wiped my blackberry device.
Now I wanted to view the files stored on my old media card that was encrypted on same blackberry device but I am unable to do so. I am using the same device with same device lock password.
Please advice. Thanks in Advance.

If i do device switch then i understand. But when I wipe only my contacts and applications and "not the media card", i don't remember that it warned me that i will not be able to use my media card again. I am using the same device, same device password and the same media card then why the blackberry will not allow me to view my files. What is the logic here?
The other person cannot have my device, my media card and my password all with him to breach my privacy isn't it?

Bridge Files app and media card encryption..

Just wanted to note clearly, in hopes that someone from RIM will see, that opening files over the Bridge Files app is almost useless if your BES admins force media card encryption on, like mine do. All files saved on the MicroSD card are encrypted and have a .rem extension appended to the filename. When this happens, the Bridge Files app is too dumb to see the file and decrypt it.
It is clear to me that this could be fixed in a software update and I hope it will be. It dramatically limits the usefulness of the bridge. I can't open any file saved with the bridge browser, or anything that comes as an email attachment. Most annoying..
Can anyone comment on whether RIM has made a statement anywhere on whether this will be fixed or not?
Thanks!!

Cannot view files in Time Machine

I have my time machine backup on Time Capsule. I cannot view files while I am in the interface of time machine. Some files can be viewed with quick look such as photos and some eps or .ai files. Indesign documents will not view, address book will not view and many others. I did a series of tests and the files will restore just fine, but you cannot view them in the time machine mode. Very frustrating!! Is there a setting that I am missing?

You can do that easily. If you can't view it via QuickLook, restore it to an alternate location, such as your desktop. See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #16.
I have been able to view documents in Time machine before.
Yes, some types of documents have always been viewable in TM backups. TextEdit, Pages, Numbers, Preview, and no doubt others. But some others aren't, and haven't been.
If bridge can view indesign documents, then Apple sure has the capability to add that as a feature to time machine.
Doubtful they'll do that for a 3rd-party app, but ask here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/timemachine.html
In 30+ years of design, I have only a handful of times forgot to save my work as I go.
Neither have I, but (a) it only takes once, and (b) most users don't. (Actually, most users don't even back up ).
Time Machine is not likely to change much in the forseeable future. If it doesn't meet your needs, there are lots of other backup apps around.

Cannot view msgs after upgrading to IOS8

I tried restarting..back up ..using a different sim..everything but nothing is working
can anyone help urgently its affecting my business big time
Thanks

I am having this same issue. I live in Korea and changing the language to Korean made the messages searchable, but when I changed back to English, the problem returned and I was unable to search all my messages via the search window in the messages app, but then, after about 5 minutes, the messages app crashed, and after that, the problem was resolved. Gotta sat that I'm so far unimpressed with ios 8; seemingly not ready for Primetime.

Hi Sue,
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Try a Repair on the External USB Drive.
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Cannot open file it does not appear to be a valid archive

While trying to download Oracle 8i/9i i keep getting the message
'Cannot open file it does not appear to be a valid archive'
Can someone please help me with this
i have tried to download this 10 times already but of no use
Thanks
Rimpy

I was getting a similar, if not the same, problem when I used IE 5.5 to download the file. It used to start extracting then stop about 75% of the way through and dump some error about the archive being corrupt and not being able to open it. After installing Netscape and disabling the download manager application, I was able to download and extrac the zip files with winzip 8 and also winrar without any problems.

Blackberry Desktop Software doesn't recognize my .rem files on my SD media card. Cannot sync them to my Mac.

Hi,
I'm experiencing this problem where Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac 2.3.0 (build 12) doesn't recognize my .rem files (video and photo) on my SD media card (the Desktop Software app does show that file space on the media card is being used). Therefore, these files cannot be synced, decrypted, and viewed on my computer. I can see them on phone. I do have mass storage mode turned on and I can see the .rem files in the video and photo folders when my phone is connected to my computer. I can copy them to my Mac but since they aren't decrypted, I cannot view them.
I'm going to buy a new phone and I need to get these files off my current phone. I have a Tour 9630 with BB OS 5.0 bundle 1600.
I've tried backing up, reformatting the media card, wiping, and restoring but nothing has worked.
Is there any kind of utility that will let me decrypt the files on my computer? Should I try Blackberry Desktop Software for Windows?
I'm hoping someone can provide some suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hey jack_clarke,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Make sure mass storage mode is enabled on the BlackBerry: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB13564
If this is disabled you won't be able to access your media card from the computer.

Cannot see Bridge folder on BlackBerry's SD Card in PlayBook Bridge Files

I have learned that when downloading a file through the messages app on the PB, the file is stored in /Media Card/BlackBerry/documents/Bridge. These files are accessible on the BB through the email the attachment came in. However, I cannot access these files directly through the Bridge Files app as I cannot see the Bridge folder on my SD card. However, if I download an attachment from my BB and select Store on Media Card, it is stored in /Media Card/BlackBerry/documents/ and is fully accessible from the PB.
Any ideas why I cannot see the Bridge folder from the PB? Is that by design? I know it is hidden by default, but I make it visible so it shows in the BB's Files app. If I rename the folder to Bridge2, it is fully accessible on the PB and subsequently loaded documents are in a newly-created Bridge folder, which is again hidden by default.

PS - FWIW, I had this same problem on my 9700 also on a BES, so I don't think it is an OS 7 issue.
Thanks!

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to this. The linked support article addresses the issue directly (thank you both), but the method recommended there (importing the entire AVCHD folder structure) didn't solve the problem. The small number of videos that iPhoto could not see originally also did not get imported, though the ones that it could originally see, did. Luckily since the percentage seems to be small (~10%), it is not prohibitive to open them one by one in Quicktime, re-export them, and then import them into iPhoto. Hopefully this will be fixed in the future. Thank you all for your suggestions.

Problem with OS 10.2.0.424 and Media Card Encryption

Several weeks ago I upgraded to OS 10.2.0.424. Everything went fine, no problems. My phone worked perfectly.
Then over one week later I turned my phone on in the morning and after it had booted it said "your media card was encrypted on a different device. You will need to reformat your media card on this device before you can use it".
Now, the following should be noted very carefully: THE MEDIA CARD WAS BOUGHT SPECIFICALLY FOR MY Z10, IT WAS FORMATTED IN THE SAME HANDSET, ENCRYPTED IN THE SAME HANDSET AND HAS ***NEVER*** BEEN OUT OF THE HANDSET.
As far as I am concerned, this is a fault with the upgrade. Having looked on Crackberry.com I see many other users having a similar problem. I am fortunate in that I do weekly backups of my handset including the media card. However I am reluctant to use my media card again in case this problem recurs.
I tried contacting Blackberry help on Twitter however I can only assume that the Blackberry Twitter team are sub-contractors who don't work for BT as their advice was along the lines of "have you tried rebooting? You have? Oh well, you'll need to speak to your mobile provider as there's nothing we can do."
Please, Blackberry, can you acknowledge this fault and advise what your timescale is for resolution?
A dissatisfied loyal Blackberry customer.

If the user removes the media card from the BlackBerry device and places it in a new BlackBerry device, the new BlackBerry device cannot decrypt any files that the first BlackBerry device encrypted on the media card using a randomly generated device key. If the first BlackBerry device encrypted the files on the media card using the BlackBerry device password, when the user removes the media card from the BlackBerry device and places it in a new BlackBerry device, the new BlackBerry device prompts the user for the password used on the first BlackBerry device to access the files on the new device.
The above is from BlackBerry:
I can only assume that Upgrading is like changing Devices, so before Upgrading save all data.
Someone else with more knowledge about encryption and seeing this post may respond.

Blackberry Bold Media Card Backup

I'm new to the Blackberry (Bold 9650), so I might be missing what I've been looking for. Most of the time, when I start, and particularly reboot my device, it always comes up with the message saying that the new media card has errors and asks if I want to correct the errors. Then it asks me if I want to save lost clusters.
A service tech told me to back up my data card to the computer and then reformat my card.
Questions:
1.     Is the data card and the media card the same?
2.     Will all data, including video and pictures be saved?
3.     How do I save it to the computer?
4.     This is a brand new phone with card. Why is it damaged?
Thank you for any advice and help you can give.

Questions:
1.     Is the data card and the media card the same? Yes, the two names are referring to the same thing.
2.     Will all data, including video and pictures be saved? That depends on how much damage there is to the card, if there is any. Correct errors, save lost clusters....sounds like a bad card. Data may or may not be recoverable, and all you can do is try.
3.     How do I save it to the computer? You'll need a slot on your computer or a card reader, and if it is a micro SD, you'll need an adapter to fit it into the computer slot or card reader. My micro SD came with an adapter - you can find them at places like Office Max, Staples, Best Buy, etc. Put the card in the slot and read it like any other drive - copy everything on the card to a folder on your computer. Then you can reformat the card, "fix" any errors, and try to recopy the information back to the card. Me? I'd spend another $10 and get a new card.
4.     This is a brand new phone with card. Why is it damaged? It happens. The cards are so tiny, and delicate, they get damaged easily. If the phopne came with the card already installed, it may be under warranty and you can get it replaced at the store where you got the phone. Do the backup of all your information on the card, then take it in and see if they will replace the card.
Thank you for any advice and help you can give.

"cannot find file" after formatting and moving!!

Wanted to have iTunes library included in Time Capsule backup. So had to reformat external hardrives where all my songs are from Windows do OS. Copied everything on other HD, reformatted HD with OS, copied back all songs. HD still has same name "MUSIC", but iTunes cannot find files.
Changed in iTunes preferences the location of files to ensure it searches in the right place AND also replaced with text editor in "iTunes Music Library.xml" file all links with new address of HD (now after reformatting to OS I found it to be slightly different despite still same name).
But iTunes still cannot find the files. Everything is the same as before, HD name, directory structure, file names, etc. ONLY difference is it all is on "OS formatted" drive. Don't want to lose ratings and playlists of over 15,000 songs....is there still a solution?

The moment I "drag out" the Tunes Library File, then there is nothing left there, and when I open iTunes it is empty.
That's as expected. That file is the database iTunes uses that keeps track of everything, so when you then launch iTunes, it's starting from scratch.
I can import the Playlists from the XML and they do appear, but still no songs, all is empty. If I try to reimport from the new location, then they "do not fit into the playlists", meaning ratings etc. are lost.
Then you apparently didn't get the XML file edited properly; it's not easy to do.
Why does the simple location function in iTunes Preferences not work?
It does, when used as designed. The preference is where new additions (imports & purchases) will be stored. It does not change the location for existing files.
Put the original library file back. Then launch iTunes, Get Info on a representative track, and look at the path to where it thinks the files should be and compare that to the actual path. Any difference at all will break things. If there are differences (drive name slightly different, any difference in folder names/structure, etc.; letter case counts), try correcting them in Finder and see if that gets things working again. If not, then you'll have to use the Add to Library command to get back your tracks which will lose all your ratings, etc.
Where does iTunes save the links to the original files so it can simply be changed?
In the iTunes Library file, which cannot be manually edited.

Cannot save file after it is digitally signed

Hello, I work for the IT Dept at my company and one of our employees is having trouble saving PDF files after digitally signing them. He received the error message:
The document could not be saved. Can not save to this file name. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.
After each signature, Acrobat asks to save the file, which he does. The strange thing is that he may sign the same document 4 times, and the error might only occur on the last attempt to save. It will successfully perform it the first three times. I cannot find a pattern to the errors. The times he gets the error messages don't necessarily all happen on the last attempt, it might be the first or the middle. I have tried updating the program and searching around through the options to find any setting which may be applicable, but have had no luck. I have been trying to solve this problem for a few days now and I can't make any progress.
Does anyone eles have this problem or have a solution?

I don't have an answer as I have never seen the problem. However, for those that might be able to answer the question they will likely want to replicate the problem. It would be helpful to know what OS (and if 32 or 64-bit) and what version (include subversion) of Acrobat -- latest 10.1.4. If you can create a sample document that has the problem, then folks may have an easier time to repeat it. A document can be posted either at one of your sites, Acrobat.com, or maybe dropbox.

FRM-10043: Cannot open file after converting SQL*Form 2.3 INP to 4.5 FMB

After running the f45gen32.exe on a version SQL*Form 2.3 INP file, it generates
the version 4.5 FMB adn the .err file (that does not indicate that any errors have occurred).
When I attempt to open the converted module using Developer 2000 v.1.3, it continuously
indicates the following error:
FRM-10043: Cannot open file
This error is received despite selecting all the required conversion parameters (per metalink and
other notes found on this forum).
This is a conversion of SQL*Forms version 2.3 to 4.5, with the ultimate goal of converting to 6i.
The same process works with other forms.?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have a workaround for this issue?
Is Developer 2000 v.1.3 the incorrect version to use?
Thank you for your assistance.
