Desktop Software won't run - so I can't transfer from my current Bold to my new Torch 9800

I currently have desktop software operating on Microsoft XP SP2 with a Blackberry Bold. The desktop software was loaded approx 18 months ago.
I have upgraded to a Torch 9800 and wish to transfer my existing info from my Bold onto it via the desktop software. I have attempted to download the latest desktop software but ultimately it ends in a message stating that the application requires XP SP3 to run.
Are there any solutions other than upgrading my OS? An earlier version of desktop software that will work with both XP SP2 and a Torch 9800 perhaps?
Cheers

Correct, the current Desktop Software does require WindowsXP, service pack 3.

  • My desktop icons won't open but I can open them from the finder thru the dock; how can I fix this? I run 10.5.1

    I run 10.5.1 and I have been getting a blue screen on boot that takes forever before the screen icons pop up...then I can't open them by clicking on them even though I can do so thru the finder in the dock. Any ideas how to fix? I dumped a bunch of stuff my boot drive to free up space...I have aropund 130 out of 160 gig that's available.

    Go to your Applications folder where you have installed these applications that will not open. Right-click, or two-finger tap (if enabled) the application icon. Choose open, and the application will launch. This is a one-time deal, as afterwards, that specific application will launch normally.
    This is an Apple security mechanism. You can override this in System Preferences > General: Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere. However, it is not set to Anywhere to protect you, and even I do not leave Anywhere permanently enabled. Only for those apps that I know are not in the App Store, and already know have this open behavior.

  • Desktop Software won't download device updates?

    Hi,
    I recently bought a BB Torch and would like to add more language supports via the Desktop Software (ver. 6). However, the installer won't go past the back up phase as the update window immediately closes upon entering the 'downloading device software' phase. I have more than 200MB remaining memory in my phone and the software is up to date. The desktop software won't apply changes to any other applications either.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    Hi pokexpress,
    Try performing a manual backup of your BlackBerry using the Backup feature in BlackBerry Desktop Manager first.  Then, when doing the upgrade, de-select the backup option.

    How can I transfer my I-tunes account to a new PC?

    If you copy the entire iTunes folder to the new computer (with iTunes not running) you don't need to readd anything. The content will be there when you launch iTunes on the new computer.

    Can I transfer my CC 6 apps to a new Volume on the same iMac? I would much rather disable and download to new Volume. I couldn't use Adobe CC6 or CS 6 at all because my iMac was so messed up?

    Romeobot if you faced difficulties with your previous computer then I would recommend you reinstall the software on the new computer.  In fact you may want to install the Adobe applications prior to migrating or transferring any files to your new computer.  For information on how to install your Adobe Creative applications please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • I am thinking up buying a new 15in MBP. What can be restored from my current Time Machine Back up?

    This will be my second MBP, so first time to try migrating.
    Can Time Machine restore software like SEE Finance, Microsoft Office, Norton, Adobe Lightroom from my current MBP? Or does it just migrate data.
    How do I migrate my iTunes over?
    Hope you can advise me.
    Thanks
