Contacts retrieval from Curve 8350i and desktop software

My BB curve 8350i just died.  It won't turn on anymore even when connected to the charger.  I took it to a Sprint store and I was told that it can no longer be revived.
I have backed up the contents of my phone using the BB desktop software.  My question is, is there anyway I can retrieve those contacts from just the desktop software, w/o a BB phone?

Yes.

  • Desktop manager and Desktop Software

    Is there a differnce bewteen desktop manager and desktop software?  I'm trying to find  a link to download desktop manager.  I was told by t-mobile tech support to run application loader and I need desktop manager in order to run that application.  The reason why i need to run the application is that my firewall setting is enable with the 'lock' icon and it's preventing me from running applications that need to connect to the internet.  I was told that running application loader would remove the lock icon so I can disable the firewall setting.
    Thank you,
    New BB user.  

    OK...so those instructions are...well...dated...they indeed are for the full Desktop Software. Basically they have advised you to update your BB OS to the latest version in the hopes that the lock on the firewall will be removed. They did discuss the backup, but I actually prefer to take a manual backup first, then let the automatic one go, but I still have that manual one just in case.
    I can't see what any of those jpg's are, so I'm not sure exactly what they are saying.
    Anyway, there are other possible causes, but it's not necessarily wrong to follow those steps...it's just that they may or may not work...and before you ask, it's impossible to tell you, at an internet distance, anything at 100%.
    If you prefer, here's a different method to update your OS:
    From a PC, you can install any OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. You can even use a different carriers OS package by simply inserting, between steps 1 and 2, the deletion, on your PC, of a file named VENDOR.XML. Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure. You will also first want a clean and complete list of all of your add-on apps, including the source of them and activation keys.
    If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

  • Firefox drop down not allowing page redirect is preventing me from auto running and installing software

    When I try to install software, Firefox window opens with a drop down box stating Firefox is not allowing page to re-direct. I click on allow, and it goes back to original page. It is preventing me from auto run and installing software. I tried several times, and it just runs me in circles.

  • Sync problem BB Curve 8310 and Desktop Manager v4.6 with Outlook 2003

    I have a BB Curve 8310 with Desktop Manager v4.6 that I syn with Outlook 2003. Calendar, tasks, and memo will sync.  The sync fails on the address book with this message:  Unable to read application data record. Translation Canceled!  From other message boards, I understand that the problem could be with a particular contact record but I can't find that record.  I've followed all suggestions about organizing Outlook to look for blank entries for name or company and have deleted all those found.  The names on the BB log are not alpa so finding the one that is incorrect is a problem.  The sync failed at record 1211 out of 1428.  I deleted the last record shown on the log and but then it failed at record 1210!  I deleted several addresses and now it fails at record 1192.  There must be more to this!  I am getting ready to purchase a new computer and all new software and would like to resolve this issue before moving to new equipment.  HELP!

  • Blackberry Curve 8330 and Desktop Manager v5.0

    I have a BB curve 8330 running the current device software, BB Desktop manager v5.0 and Outlook 2007 on Windows Vista and have just recently experienced problems syncing.  I continue to get an error message such as below...
    Faulting application DesktopMgr.exe, version 5.0.0.11, time stamp 0x4a4bd539, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.18005, time stamp 0x49e03821, exception code 0xc0000374, fault offset 0x000afaf8, process id 0x1dc, application start time 0x01ca41d751046e2b.
    I've tried everything I can think of from reinstalling DTM, previous versions of DTM...getting rid of the "intellisync" folder that others have discussed...scanning my PST and OST files for errors, reconfiguring the sync settings...all with the same result.  Everything is fine until it goes to read the calendar off of outlook and sync it...then it crashes saying the program has to close and windows will notify me if there is a solution....I've even tried running DTM with Vista's "Administrator" option and no dice...
    I'm thinking this is an issue either with DTM or with the latest Vista Update (Windows 7 can't come soon enough!)....anyone else have any other ideas as to what this could be??? 

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    While you have tried many things, I cannot tell if you have tried this...so apologies if it is redundant in any way.
    I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
    1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
    2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
    KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
    3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/
    Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/dow​nload_sites.jsp
    5) Install DTM to your PC
    6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
    7) Start the organizer configuration over:
    KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    Hopefully that will get things going again.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Windows 7 and Desktop software not auto-synci​ng

    I have a BB Bold 9700, Windows 7 Ultimate, and latest desktop software from BB site.  The issue is that the sync doesn't start when device connected.  I have to manually initiate the sync and it works fine.   When I was using Windows XP and I connected my device, the hardware was detected and the sync process started automatically...as it should.  I have ensured that the "synchronize the selected items when your device is connected to the BlackBerry Desktop Manager" is selected.  I even disabled that, shut it down, restarted it and reenabled it to see if that would work and it didn't.  As I said, the phone syncs fine when initiated manually, but it won't start on its own. 
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Device Manager and Desktop Software fail to work after a profile migration

    Hi there,
    I have just moved in a Windows Domain so I had to change my IP configuration. I have done a moveuser to move my local profile to the domain's profile. My Device Manager and, therefore, desktop software are not responding anymore. I keep receiving a message of ApploaderWEBSL-Upgrade[1].msi missing in the network location.... after a couple of hundreds of cancels, it goes away.
    I have tried reinstalling the BB Original CD as an Domain Administrator selecting "4 all users". I have tried downloading the Windows Installer Cleaner. I have also tried to upgrade my device's software directly from the WEB. Finally, I have tried to "promote" my Windows Account as a Domain Admin.... nothing.
    The poing is that if i log in as a Domain Admin, my device is automatically recognized by the device manager.... but I can't sink cause it's not my profile...
    Everything was working before my domain enrolement and IP changes.... can anyone help me?
    Thanks a lot!
    Marcos.

    Hello, The most common thing to do after an update that results in issues is to perform an OS reload. Sometimes, the update processes have errors and such...with a reload often curing the issues. The official methods, which will be controlled as to what exact OS versions you are offered:http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-Functions-and/How-to-Reload-your-Blackberry10-O...The unofficial methods, which are cleaner, and allow you to choose an OS version that perhaps your carrier (or whoever it is controlling your offers) has been slow to approve:http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-OS10-devices-using...http://forums.crackberry.com/bb10-leaked-beta-os-f395/bb10-os-archive-943672/Of course, before you started anything, hopefully you already took a good backup via LINK, a manual copy of your Device Memory to your PC, and full documentation of your configuration (account credentials, added apps, configurations, etc.). Sometimes, restoring from a backup returns to the device the very corruption one needs to eliminate, and reconfiguring from scratch can resolve that. Good luck!

  • All contacts not syncing with curve 8900 and desktop 7

    I've been trying this for a year and I've had no success. This 8900 is my 4th Blackberry. While I've done backups with the others this is the first time I've tried to sync the info. When I first synced I thought everything was OK, but then I noticed a lot of the contacts didnt sync. A lot of iportant ones. I've tried everything and hit a wall. I've gone thru all the 395 contacts, deleted a bunch, fixed a bunch and made everything ready. I've talked to Microsoft, AT&T and the BB folks and still nothing. When I synced it to my PC, 179 of 395 synced and the Outlook folder size is 297kb. I just synced to my laptop and only 124 synced and the folder size is 120kb. I checked the options on the 8900 contact list and it shows my gmail address as the name of my Contact list. I've NEVER loaded my gmail info on this or any other BB. I checked my gmail and there are NO contacts listed. Never have been. I followed the instructions, went to Default Services and there is no Contacts option, only Calendar and Messaging which have my primary email ([email protected]) as the services. I have loaded info for the Netzero email, Roadrunner email and Blackberry email. Did load the Yahoo account name but never connected it. Just checked the service books and there is no gmail info. There'sno option to rename the contact list and I can't see if there are any subfolders under it. I HAVE TO GET ALL THIS INFO TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN ACCESS IT TO TRANSFER TO A NEW NON-BLACKBERRY PHONE. I've literally spent hours researching, talking on the phone and it is still not working. I lost 3 days on it this we3ek that I was supposed to be on the other coast of Florida visiting a High School beauty thats down for a week, a cousin that's fighting cancer and  a musician friend. I worked on the highest problem parts of the Space Shuttle Boosters and worked thru some seemingly impossible problems. As a result I had a mental breakdown and now have to depend on othersm whicdh I never did before. Seems like everybody that could help or might have info isn't sharing. I CAN'T BE THE FIRST PERSON THAT'S HAD THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

  • Lost contacts, restored from a backup and now lost all photos

    My wifes iphone 4s just lost all her contacts out of the blue. I tried to restore her contacts from a old backup and now she has lost a LOT of VERY important photos that were saved on her phone. Photos for her collage final "capstone" project before graduating.
    WHAT can i do to get them back????
    Phone has not been backed up since 6/12 and when we conected it to the computer (after ALL her contacts have just dissapeared) we attempted to get them back by restoreing from that backup. once finished all her contacts were back but now she is missing almost 400 photos.
    PLEASE is there a way.....

    You cannot recover the photos.  They were overwritten by the restore. If your father had enabled PhotoStream they might still be available, but again, only if this had already been enabled.

  • How to get contacts unlinked from old email and put onto iCloud

    I have an OLD hotmail account I haven't used in 10+ years that I was using as my Windows Live login when I had a Windows phone a few years ago. I linked it when I got my iPhone, and I think it became associated with a lot of my contacts. Now, I don't have the people's numbers saved in the Hotmail account, which has been deactivated due to inactivity (but I can still log in if I so desired) but those contacts are attached to that email address in my phone. There are about 50 of them and are all the important ones, my oldest friends and family etc. Lately I've been having issues with my phone and have either had to restore it or my contacts just disappear out of the blue, and every time I have to re-sync it with three different email addresses to get all my contacts. I really want to get the contacts unassociated with the Hotmail account and have them all together on my iCloud. It seems like it should be something fairly straightforward and simple, but I cannot figure it out. Any insight? Thanks in advance.

    To do this, do the following:
    Reactivate and sync the Hotmail contacts back to you phone.  Confirm that they appear in the Contacts app.
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup. Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from Hotmail) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your Hotmail account and turn off contacts syncing with Hotmail.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.
    Confirm that all your contacts are in iCloud, including your Hotmail contacts.  If so, you can delete the Hotmail account from your phone again.
    If you're having trouble with contact syncing, continue to use the app to make periodic backups of your contacts so you don't lose them.

    Hi bkurt01,
    Sorry to hear about your problems. I use a very similar type of setup. I have a Google Voice number that rings multiple phones at once and then connects the call to whichever phone picks up.
    I experienced a similar issue as you. What I found out is that one of my other phones was answering the call before it could ring through to my Pre Plus. Fortunately, Google has a feature called Call Presentation that requires me to press a button on the keypad before the call get's connected. I don't know if your service has a feature like this, but I'd suggest enabling it if they do.
    To test and see if you're experiencing a similar situation, try this:
    Disable or remove all phones from your VoIP service except for your Pre
    Try dialing your VoIP number and see what happens
    If you are able to get through in this configuration, one of your other phones is probably answering before your Pre's can receive the call.
