HELP!! My blackberry is froze on the 'backing up your data' screen

Tried running the new software update and all seemed to go fine at first, but now the 'overall backup progress' bar has been dead at 9% for a while and the 'social feeds' above has been stuck on 0% for the same amount of time. Ive tried rebooting but whenever i do this, the update starts up again and gets to the same point before stopping again. What do I do??? Is there anyway to force the software to stop?
Please help,
Thanks

There are two methods of recovery for you to try:
One:
Open Blackberry Desktop Software & Connect your device with PC using USB cable, without inserting battery.
You will get three option Retry, Update Or Cancel, then click on update.
Once it is to the stage of the update "initializing handheld", then insert battery.
If this does not work, and you remain stuck on the backing up the Social Feeds database, go to the second method below.
Secondly:
Start your BlackBerry in Safe mode. Article ID: KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Modehttp://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17877
Connect to the BlackBerry Desktop Software and allow your handheld to connect. If you are prompted to upgrade, cancel the upgrade for later.
IF you cannot connect or your Desktop Software does not recognize your device while in Safe Mode, please follow the directions here to force the detect:  Article ID: KB10144 How to force the detection of the BlackBerry smartphone using Application Loader
Go to Device > delete > SELECT DATA > select to delete both the Social Feeds and Smart Card databases, and follow the remaining prompts to complete it.
Now, you can return and click to upgrade the device through the Desktop Manager, or reboot the BlackBerry in normal mode and continue the over the air upgrade.

Can I send an e-mail to a specific person in Communities? Want to thank them for their answer to a question that I didn't ask. Just wanted to give him/her feedback that their info was very helpful. Just a pat on the back to perhaps brighten their day.

If you click on the person's name, you go to the public profile they have posted. If there is an email address given you can email directly. If not, you cannot email the person directly.
You could post a reply to the persons reply on the communities to note their help.

You need something stronger, such as DiskWarrior, TechTools Pro, or Data Rescue.

OS X could not be installed on your computer. The OS X upgrade couldnt be started because the disk Macintosh HD is damaged and cant be repaired. After your computer restart, back up your data, erase your disk, and try installing again.

Beware! When you initialize your boot disk be sure that you specify "Journaled" and not "Case-sensitive, Journaled". Previous OSX installers would check this and give an error message. Mavericks does NOT! If you install using "Case-sensitive" many apps will not work.

This disk doesn't contain an EFI system partition. If you want to start up your computer with this disk or include it in a RAID set, back up your data and partition this disk.

As stated above. I get this when I try to resize my HD. Was having issues with BootCamp so I removed it and got this.

Quite often when I plug in my iPad 2, iTunes goes to the "Set Up Your iPad" screen and makes me restore it. Any way to stop this?

I have had my iPad 2 since the start of June 2011. There are a lot of times when it works great, but I have had trouble sometimes when I sync. Prior problems were with SQLite3.dll, but got help copying that file to the right place. I have also completely uninstalled and re-installed iTunes. However, my biggest problem is that sometimes when I plug it in to sync with iTunes, it automatically goes to the "Set Up Your iPad" screen. It only allows me to set it up as a new iPad, or restore it from a backup. This is happening more and more. So much so that everytime I plug it in and it actually does work, before disconnecting I will right click on the iPad on the left hand bar and do a backup. This is really starting to get on my nerves. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary with my iPad. Just playing some games and having a few other apps. It's so hard when playing some games like Angry Birds, getting 3 stars in all levels, only to plug the iPad in again to sync and have to restore it and lose all progress! Does anyone know why it goes to this screen? It doesn't happen all the time, but I'd say once every 4 times I connect. Also, I'm using Windows 7, and yes, all windows updates are done, and iTunes always is on the most up-to-date version. Thanks for any help!

Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ...

Best way to back up your data

Which is the fastest and best way to back up your data in case of any problem ? Still to transfer to an external HD ?
Thanks

Hi Ferro;
Best and simplest way to back up is Time Machine to an external drive.
I think that any backup plan should alway be to an external drive. If you backup to an internal drive and the Mac fails, what good is your backup then?

I just updated my iphone to ios7 and I keep getting stuck at the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. I click 'Restore from Itunes Backup', but it only ends up restarting after restoring and fails to get past the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. Any ideas?

My iPad won't charge after plugging into my computer and after holding down the power and home button at same time for 10 seconds- Can anybody help? Has IOS7.0 but the most up-to-date version

My iPad won't charge after plugging into my computer and after holding down the power and home button at same time for 10 seconds… Can anybody help? Has IOS7.0 but not the most up-to-date version

It's just the battery sign - nothing else. I've tried to reboot by holding down both power and home key for 10+ seconds, waiting for the apple logo - but nothing happens. It's plugged into the imac at the moment. I tried to recharge it overnight using the normal charger - but no luck. It went dead during a Skype call with a friend - even though it was powered into the mains - albeit at a low battery level at the time

You could simplify the decode(... into to_char(sysdate + 1,'d')
select sysdate + level input_date,
       TRIM(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE + level,'DAY')) the_day,
       DECODE(TRIM(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE + level,'DAY')),
              'SATURDAY',1,

Will Apple allow you to advertise related PRINTED books in the back of your iBooks Author eBook?

I know from reading somewhere that Apple will not allow you to advertise for competing format eBooks inside an iBook Author created eBook. That if you do this, your eBook will be rejected. HOWEVER, will they allow an author to advertise related theme PRINT books? I'm revising an already published eBook and the author has requested that we advertise 2 of his books that are available as print only (not ebook) editions in the back matter. Anyone know for sure?

Get all the back schedule start date except last and current month

Hi All;
Below gives me last month schedule start
scheduledstart >= DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE())-1,0)
AND scheduledstart < DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE()),0)
Below gives me current month schedule start
scheduledstart >= DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, GETDATE()), 0)
AND scheduledstart < DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, GETDATE())+1, 0)
I need to find all the schedule start excluding current month and last month
Any help on this much appreciated
Thanks
Pradnya07

Hi,
You could use NOT BETWEEN with the start date of last month and the end date of the current month:
AND schedulestart NOT BETWEEN DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,0,GETDATE())-1,0)
AND DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH,
0, GETDATE())+1,
0)
Hope this helps,

How do you get back to your home screen?

i have put the music i want on my ipod and listened through it but now i cant get back to the homescreen and settings :s can any1 help?

I have the same problem. I found a thread on here which said go to your local apple genius bar(?) but I don't have a local shop.
I have followed the instructions which are:
- swipe right (or was it left?)
or - push and hold on the screen
but neither works.
I would love a solution to this, or do I have to send off my new present? :-(
