Geting blackberry back up after hitting 'forget this device'

I was trying to use my blackberry software with my new blackberry that was sent to me without the usb lead to attach to the computer, so I tried using Blu-tooth.  It didn't work, but in the course of trying, I hit 'forget this device', trying to get the software to stop looking for the old device, which I don't have.  Anyway, I realised my Kindle lead would work so I attached it to the computer, which still holds all my old backups but the software won't open them & only recognizes the new handset.  How can I by-pass this or patch through this so that I can get my contacts and memos etc from my last back up of my last device? 
Thank you!

I am not sure is your previous device was the same type or really a different BB but, if I'm not mistaken, when you call the "restore backup" command in the desktop manager software, you should find somewhere the possibility to explore or open a backup file located elsewhere than the default one.
Maybe you could give this a try and point to your previous backup files?
Hope this helps.

    Re-pair the devices and you should be good.

    Try resetting the iPad.   Hold down the home and power/sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds or until the Apple Logo shows up. Let the iPad reboot and then try to pair again.  Not data should be lost.

  • "The BlackBerry Desktop Software cannot connect with this device." after repair

    I download the Desktop Software for BlackBerry onto my Mac Book Pro for the first time. 
    After installing I connected my PlayBook. I get the message "The BlackBerry® Desktop Software cannot connect with this device."
    The program suggested I repair the device software, so I did. After that I set it up and ran the updates.
    When I plug it back in I get the exact same message.
    What should I do next?

    I also cannot connect to my two playbooks using desktop manager on mac.
    One of the two playbooks is now shipped back to rim for repair (see here http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/5MP-Playbook-Camera-Blackscreen-Errors-Ha... The issue of desktop manager not being able to connect to the playbook started with this playbook when the repair I was prompted to to stopped 1/4 way into it. Multiple retries did not make any difference. 
    Since then, I have tried connecting my other (functioning) playbook to the same mac but when I plug in usb cable I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg and prompted to "repair". I am definitely NOT going to "repair" this one. So I uninstalled the desktop manager and reinstalled it to see if it makes a difference. Unfortunately it did not and I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg.
    If anyone has any suggestion how this issue can be resolved that would be great. I think something is stuck on the mac and is not getting wiped out when desktop manager is uninstalled. Thanks.

  • HT201269 I have lost all my contact details on my iphone 4s and I cant get them back even after hitting restore button.

    I have lost all my contact details on my iphone 4s and I cant get them back even after hitting restore button.

    This might be because that your game update or other software automatic update killed your contacts. You should make a frequency and regular backup for your iPhone so that all the data could be renewed to your backup data. Whenever you lost iPhone data, you have a choice to restore from iTunes. That is easy and free.
    However, this is not the end of the world if you don't have any backup of your iPhone contacts, you can recover contacts with iPhone data recovery software, but that need you to pay for it. So making a backup is a good habit.  Do you know how to use iPhone data recovery software to recover iPhone contacts without backup? If not, you can search in YouTube to get step-by-step guide to recover iPhone contacts from iPhone without backup. This is such an example: How to Recover iPhone Contacts - Step-by-step Guide.

  • Accidentally hit "forget this network" on wi-fi - HELP!!

    I was connected to a public wi-fi and was logged off or trying to get back on b/c it was slow and I accidentally hit "forget this network" b/c i thought it would just disconnect me. Now I'm trying to get back on and obviously I can't b/c none of the wi-fi's information is stored anymore. Besides resetting all the information on the phone is there any other way to get back on to the wi-fi? I work in a hospital and don't get regular service and have to connect through their wi-fi.
    Thanks!!

    Just get the network name and password again from someone. Or call up your IT department.

  • IPad 2 & 3GS bluetooth prob in ios 5 after "forget this device"

    I hv upgraded my iPad 2 &amp; 3GS to iOS 5 &amp; all went well until I tap "forget this device" in Bluetooth and tried pairing again but they don't detect each others. I hv already reset all network settings &amp; all settings for 2-3 times but of no use. They just don't detect each other... Anyone facing the same here? How to get rid of it? Any solution???

    I'm having the same problem too. Just upgraded to the ios5 and i can't seem to pair my jawbone prime with it. The iphone 3Gs "refuses" to detect the jawbone device. Hopefully something's gonna be fixed soon as I have just purchased the blue tooth!

  • How do I undo Forget this Device

    I was trying to re-pair my Jawbone bluetooth headset and thought I had to "dismiss" the old pairing by hitting the Forget This Device button. Now I can't get the iPhone to recognize my Jawbone at all. How do I undo the Forget setting? I have already reset all settings and I have already reset network settings..none of these worked. Can anyone help please?

    Do this:
    Delete the Jawbone's profile from your phone, turn the Bluetooth application in your phone OFF and then perform a reset on the iPhone by holding both the home and sleep buttons at the same time until the screen shows the apple logo, then release. Next, reset the Jawbone. To reset your Jawbone, first power the Jawbone on and make sure it is disconnected from the phone; the LED light will flash red every few seconds when the Jawbone is powered on and disconnected. Next, press the headset's buttons in the following order: NoiseAssassin, Talk, Talk, NoiseAssassin, Talk, Talk. For help locating each button, follow this link: http://aliph.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/aliph.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?p_faqid=124&pcreated=1213119345.
    If the reset is performed successfully, the Jawbone will enter pairing mode (the LED light will begin flashing back and forth between red and white). At this point, turn your phone's Bluetooth ON and ask for it to search for a device. Once the Jawbone is found approve the pairing and connection and when prompted for a passkey enter four zeros (0000). The Jawbone should flash white every few seconds once it is on and connected. (Here's a link that will also help with the pairing process: http://aliph.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/aliph.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?p_faqid=154&pcreated=1242753069)

  • Airport utility accidentally selected forget this device, and want to recover

    I am running Mountain Lion and using the AirPort Utility 6.1 to manage a Time Capsule.  I accidentally selected "forget this device".  How can I recover from this?

    If the device is still hooked up to your network, power off all other devices on the network in any order that you wish.
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem first and let it run a minute by itself
    Start the main router next that is connected to the modem that same way
    Keep starting devices one at a time until everything is powered back up.
    Now check AirPort Utility to see if the device has reappeared.
    If the device does not appear, you will need to "start from scratch" by performing a Factory Default Reset and then reconfiguring it again.

  • I recently purchased a car stereo with Bluetooth capability. I paired my iPhone 4S with it and it wasn't working properly. I went into forget this device. Then found out it was something they did when they installed it. Now it won't pair again. Help

    I recently purchased a new car stereo with Bluetooth capability. I paired my phone with the stereo and it wasn't working correctly, did forget this device. Found out it was a problem with the radio. Now it's fixed and my phone won't pair with it again. How can I pair it again?

    You will need to put the car stereo back into discovery/pairing mode. That may mean you removing the initial pairing of the device. See the user guide for the radio on how to put the device into discovery/pairing mode, and if necessary, how to remove the original pairing. This support document may also provide you with some assistance. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581

  • HT1688 How to undo forget this device

    How do I reset the forget this device on an iphone 4S?

    You do not.
    If you have forgotten a device and want to add it back, simply do so.
    Put the device in pairing mode, then go to Settings > Bluetooth and the iPhone will find it.

  • How to undo forget this device

    I purchased a JBL Flip speaker and connected to my Apple iPad and it worked fine. By accident I pushed "Forget this device" and lost the device on my Bluetooth page. I have tried everything to try and get it back but it will not connect. Any ideas??

    Try resetting the iPad. Hold down the Home and p[ower/sleep buttons until the Apple logo shows up.
    You might also want to reset network settings to clear all data from the BT pairings. Sometimes that helps.
    Settings->General-:>Reset->Reset Network Settings.
