Device switch from 8700c to 8310

I have switched devices at least twice before and it was a piece of cake. For some reason this time while using:
Blackberry Desktop 5.0.1.37
trying to switch from BB 8700c ver 4.5.0.182 (platform 2.7.0.106)
going to BB 8310 ver. 4.5.0.110 (platform 2.7.0.90)
both on the ATT network with internet active this is what happened.
It went through the entire process said it was finished but the only thing that tranferred was my documents to go (Word), and my facebook account! Oh, and some messages from July 4 and before!
I did not get any calendar appointments, no Addresses, no memo's, no tasks, no call log.
I have 990 entries in the phone book, most with multiple numbers so I kind of need to find a way to transfer these!
What do I need to do different?
Thanks folks,
Gary

That did it, thanks for the sounding board!

Contacts, messages, history were lost after using device switch from BB 9320 to BB Classic

Hi! I recently bought a BB Classic and used to use a BB 9320, I used the device switch app to back up all these infos. turns out, most of my contacts starting august 2013 up to now were lost. Please help how I can restore my contacts. Thanks in advance

About how many contacts are you missing?
Messages are not synced from the old device, but rather from your email server. You should be able to set your message sync time frame by opening your Hub > Settings > Accounts > select your email and edit. If not, delete that account and add it back again and you'll find the "sync timeframe" in the advanced settings.
Call logs. Only the last 30 days of call logs are kept.

Device switch from Android 2.2 to BB10

Hi There, I seek some advice how to switch from a Android 2.2 to BB10. I already searched for some information, and most pages advise, that I should download the device switch app to both devices and the app will perform all steps required. Unfortunately, my Android device has the version 2.2.1. and the device switch app required 2.3 and my device can't be upgraded. Is there any way to transfer data from the android device to the BB10? When I started to use the Android device, it had an app called Transfer Data and it automatically pulled the contactsetc. from my previous device. Is there anything similar for BB10? Thanks, preizer

hi, normally you can sync your contacts on your bb 10 device with your email accounts. for transferring your contacts to a bb 10 device, sync your android phone with your gmail account first and then sync your bb 10 device with your gmail account. for transferring other stuff like pics, music etc. i think you need to use a pc/mac for bridging. you won't regret switching i used android for a long time and also use ios at the moment. in my opinion, bb 10 is the most advanced mobile os together with sailfish os on the market. but people do not see that and just go for specs of the devices, not performance and security. regards

Device switch from BB Torch to BB Passport

We downloaded and installed the BB link software and then tried to use it to switch from the BB Torch to the new Passport but every time we tried to use it, it crashed.
We looked for the device switch app in Blackberry World but could not find it!!
Tried re-installing it several times - same result! Ended up doing the data switch using a media card and that worked fine.
All this was really frustrating and time-consuming till we got an end result. Why does BB software not work better?!!

You need to install the device switch app in both the handsets. And now either turn on hotspot from your device or use wi-fi. Note: both the devices should be connected in the same line; open the apps in both the devices and choose the device which you wanted to transfer the data from and search for the other device. Should be able to transfer the data now. Hope it helps.

Device Switch from Palm Desktop 4.1.4 to BB Desktop 4.6.0.13 hangs - no data

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the BB Desktop Software (downloaded a version from October from AT&T website). When I try to move my data from my Palm Desktop software v 4.1.4 to BB Desktop, it processes 6096 calendar entries out of 6395 and hangs. No data is transferred to the BB. Any suggestions? I could live with not transferring any calendar data - I need to get my contacts over and can't do that.
Help. I have 3000+ contacts I need to get over.
I tried blue tooth beaming my contacts from my Palm Tungsten T5 to my BB Bold but that fails (I think the Tungsten bluetooth doesn't have the right protocol for the Bold).
Running on Windows XP, SP2.
Solved!

Hi and welcomt to the forums!
If you have done multiple installations of the desktop manager I think the first thig
would be to use this procedure and reinstall the 4.6 softare. The procedure will clean all
registry entries that may affect latter versions.
First we need to clean the machine:

Z10 to Q10 Device Switch Issue

Attempting to use Blackberry Link to do a device switch from a Z10 to Q10.
See error:
http://i.imgur.com/PBScXOe.png
Caption of Error:
No data will be transferred
No data will be transferred for the following reasons:
- The OS version of your new device is older than the OS version of the device you are switching from. Select a different device or cancel the transfer
Software Versions:
Q10 - Locked to Bell Mobility - 10.1.0.238 - no software update available
Z10 - Locked to Bell Mobility - 10.1.0.273 - no software update available
Link Version - 1.1.0.37 - no software update available
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately, that is a limitation of the BB10 OS's. You cannot restore a backup from a newer OS version to an older version. You can restore a backup from an older version to a same or newer version only.
You need the Q10 to be on a newer version. Your only option is to install a "leaked" OS onto the Q10 in order to be able to restore your backup or transfer data.
Here is a link to the latest OS for the Q10. All you do is download the file, it will be a .rar file so you'll need an unzip tool like 7zip to unzip it to the .exe file. Then connect the Q10 and run the .exe file and it will update the OS. It will take you longer to download the file than to install it, too. It takes about 5 minutes to load the new OS.

I seem to have 2 Apple IDs, one on my MacBook Pro and another on my devices. If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud. I have no idea how I go 2 IDs

Can I get rid of one ID? How do I do that?

one on my MacBook Pro
That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.
If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud. I have no idea how I go 2 IDs
Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

DEvice Switch Wizard transferring from Palm Desktop

I just got my Blackberry 9700 replacing my previous Palm 755. When I first used the Device Switch Wizard form the Blackberry Desktop Manager I was able to transfer all the data from my Palm Desktop to my Blackberry. I performed this for about four times as I modified my contact list. Now it aborts the transfer and receive a message saying:
"Desktop organizer data was not imported successfully. Errors occurred during the process"
I have since removed the Blackberry Desktop Manager software completely and reloaded - no result. I upgraded the Desktop Manager with automatic update - no result.
Desperately need help on resolving this.
Desktop Manager 5.01.37
Palm Desktop 4.1.4

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Typically, you'd want to do that action just once...to initially get your data over to your BB. After which you'd want to use a different (and compatible) PIM to manage the data on your PC. I'm thinking that perhaps you should do that -- or perhaps, given the error, move your data from your Palm PIM to a compatible PIM:
KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
And then configure for synchronization:
KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
Good luck and let us know!

I can't find where to switch from my internal disc burner to my external burning device

I can not find where to switch from my internal disc burner to my external when burning music in iTunes. Please help.

First, check to make sure it is plugged in. With all of the devices you may have and limited USB ports, you may have mistaken which is plugged in. When you pull down file to burn a CD, a pop up window should occur giving you a selection of your internal and external CD drives. If you only see your internal drive, try inserting a disc and see if you computer asks what you want to do with the CD. If so, it shows your computer is now seeing the drive. If nothing happens, try restarting your computer with your external drive plugged in.

Transfering data using switch device manager from old palm to new curve 8330....please help!!!

Trying for hours to import data using switch device manager from old Palm Treo and Palm Desktop 4.2 to my new Blackberry Curve 8330. Blackberry seem to connect...but second step of choising Palm or Mircrosort will not allow me to select anything. I do not believe Palm is connecting...Is my palm to old? If I cannot tranfer data this way, especially contacts is there any other way besides entering it into Blackberry one by one?

Hi there!
If the device switch wizard is not working, check this KB to be sure all of your Palm things are compatible and that you are using the correct process:
KB05459 How to use the Switch Device Wizard to switch from another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone
And then see this KB for some troubleshooting help
KB10722 BlackBerry Desktop Manager does not detect the Palm software when using the Switch Device Wizard
And if it happens that it will not work, then you will have to find out how to export from your Palm to an ASCII or CSV file...then you can import it with this process:
KB11194 How to import contacts from an CSV file to the BlackBerry device
Good luck and let us know!

Device Switch problem from Z10 to Z30

Device Switch problem from Z10 to Z30
Hi Dears,
I got my new Z30 and I tried to switch my old Z10 without luck, so I appreciate your help.
Both devices are identical OS Release (10.2.1.2102) version (10.2.1.2141)
I set up my Blackberry ID in the new Z30
I used BB-Link via my PC and everything started fine and smooth, and I followed all instructions step by step.
Until reaching to step (8 of 9 ) in the BB-Link, a popup windows appear in my Z30 saying “RESTORE IN PROGRESS”
But after 5 seconds, BB-Link cancel the restore process !!!
Also, I tried to connect my Z30 to my PC and restore previous Z10 backup directly through BB-Link, but same issue and message “the operation was cancelled”
One more thing, I noticed that, the BBM is empty and showing message “restoring your BBM information” since yesterday.
I wiped my device and try several time but no luck L,
Please I need your help

Is the new Z30 upgraded with the latest BBM version 10.3?
If not, upgrade that first through App World, then try the Switch Device or restore again.

My sound switches from internal speakers to apple Tv and i dont have an apple tv device

I am having problems with sound. My speakers will switch from internal speakers to Apple TV for no reason when I am on a certain wifi network and ask for a password. I do not have an apple TV and in order for the sound to come out on the internal speakers i have to manually go into the preferences and switch back to internal speakers. This does this constantly while i am listening to music. Is there a way to shut off the feature so it will stay on internal speakers? This has happened ever since i made the upgrade to OS mountain lion. I never did this before. Thank you for your help.

Are you sure that WIFI network doesn't have an AppleTV on it? Just because you don't own it doesn't mean there isn't one on that network. The laptop or better said the OS cannot differentiate between an AppleTV that you own or not. If it sees one on the network, it will show you one as being available. The automatic reconnection is happening probably because the last time you streamed to an AppleTV, you didn't drop that connection before sleeping the computer or shutting down iTunes.

Device switch Problem from 9360 to Z10. Help Please

Hello;
I just switched from 9360 to Z10. But when I log in with my last account. Only 12 contacts re coming and some of them re not even in my contacts. Please someone can help me?
Thanks in Advance.
Ozkan

Hi Ozkan
Seems your Z10 used different BlackBerry ID rather than your BBID. Verify it from Setting > BlackBerry ID. To sign in with your ID, you must wipe your phone. Setting> Security and Privacy > Security Wipe. All of data on it (contacts, emails) will be deleted. Backup your phone through BB Link in case you need some of it. Once wipe is completed and you sign in with your own BlackBerry ID, all your BBM Contacts, Groups will be restored automatically over your mobile network.
Good luck.
