HELP!! Upgrade software 4.5 messed up my Pearl

I received an email from RIM telling me that 4.5 was available for my BB 8110.  I went to the website to downloads, plugged in my phone, selected 4.5 update.  The application opened and started working, at 8 of 10 task it said it had an error. Now my phone has a black screen and the red light is blinking.  I tried to go to my desktop manager and restore my phone, but it doesn't reckognize my device, the PIN shows unkown.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Need help upgrading software on imac mid 2010, running OS X 10.6.8

    I need to upgrade my software from OS X 10.6.8 but not sure where to begin.  Do I have to purchase lion, mountain lion, leopard, snow leopard to get to maverick???

    1. Yes, it is.
    2. You can either use Time Machine or a product such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper to create a bootable clone. Create the backup on an external drive in case the internal one fails.

  • Audio A2DP help upgrading software

    I recently purchased a Plantronics Voyager 855 that's supposed to play stereo through the earbuds.  Sales reps assured me that Blackberry's are able to do this.  I've now learned that I have to have a certain version. 
    I have an 8100, version 4.2.0.71, platform 2.2.0.41.  I did read in another post where a user said operating systems 4.2.2 and higher support A2DP, so does this mean if I upgrade to 4.2 service pack 2 my phone will be able to support A2DP?  If so, should I upgrade to service pack 1, then to #2?
     I tried to get an update for my phone from the BB website by downloading through my PC, but it looked like there's only the Desktop Manager update, not the device update. 
    Can anyone help please?

    There is no 4.2.2+ available for the pearl at the moment. However, version 4.5 has just started to become available and expectations are that it will be available for the 8100. Just have to wait until it released and you will have A2DP support. No need updating to anything inbetween, each version is the complete OS.

    Update Software button is available in iOS 5 and later iOSs.
    Currently, you need to take the iTunes route.
    Don't forget to backup.

  • I'm still struggling with being able to sync ipad3 and iphone 4s to itunes after upgrading software to ios 6. I've gone through all the recommendations by Apple and suggestions from other forums and nothing seems to work. Help!!!!!

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

    To answer your question: you likely don't have at least iOS 5 (even though your tag line says you do).  That feature was only added in iOS 5. prior versiosn did not have it.
    As Niel points out, go back to the article and scroll down the section titled: Update your device using iTunes

    Hi I just upgraded software through iTunes then unplugged iPhone now it is stuck on the connect to intunes screen, it won't turn off and iTunes and my computer won't recognize my phone? Please help

    My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
    Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?

  • X200 Vista to Windows 7 Clean vs. Upgrade - Software License Concern

    I bought an X200 with Vista (before the free upgrade) and have now purchased the Windows 7 upgrade software.  Most of the tech forums recommend a clean install instead of an upgrade.  Should I worry whether the software I have purchased (e.g. MS Office, Acrobat 9, etc.) will require me to purchase another license?  Or, will it "recognize" my PC if I copy down the product keys?
    Solved!

    Hi
    Most software still do not have activation so there it is a question of having the serial number and the matching installer/CD saved.
    With Adobe software that uses activation you can deactivate the software before the upgrade and then reactivate again after.
    I do not know how sensitive MS Office is. My experience from one system which I helped recover was that Office activated automatically on the same machine again. I guess even if you would be required to activate over the phone there should be no issues as you are reinstalling on the same machine.

    My iphone 3GS is showing no service your network is restriced you can choose a different network in settings ive tried a restore and upgrading software/downgrading still no fix just no service searching...
    I have no idea why this has happend ive been using the phone for 2years bought it on pay as you go and now all of a sudden its stating the above error i have never come across this problem before and currently im using 3GS and Iphone 4S

    Sounds like it's been blacklisted.
    Even if it hasn't, downgrading voids any warranty and forfeits all rights to support. You hacked your phone. You can't get help here.

  • TS1702 I upgraded software from Snow Leopard to OSX Lion. Now my Office Mac applications would not work

    I upgraded software for my MacBook from Snow Leopard to OSX Lion. Now my Office for Mac applications would not work. Can anybody help? Thanks

    Quite seriously, though, if you wish to use MS Office to it's full potential and if you depend on it on a regular basis, then upgrading to Office 2011 is the only reccommended way to go. You can use the free Apps mentioned, learn to use iWorks (which I love, but others don't) or make your system a shambles and lose your easy to use interface by the other method. Deduct the cost of Parallels from MS Office and it becomes pretty cheap, if that is the only PPC program you wish to use, which is the norm as PPC is long gone from development.
    MS Office 2011 is not expensive if it is one of your major work tools. Think of those who had to update their Adobe software!
    Anyhow Cheers

  • Upgrade software for torch 9800

    I have BB Torch 9800. I m living india and carrier is Airtel. Can anybody help me to how to upgrade software.

    Hello,
    The simplest way is to, on a PC (you cannot do this on MAC):
    1) Uninstall, from your PC, any BB OS packages
    2) Make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed
    http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?lid=us:bboftwareesktopSoftware&lpos=us:bboftware
    3) Download and install, to your PC, the BB OS package you desire:
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    4) If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    5) Launch the Desktop Software and connect your BB...the software should offer you the OS package you installed to your PC. If, during the process, your BB presents a "507" error, simply unplug the USB cord from the BB and re-insert it...don't do anything else...this should allow the install to continue.
    Don't forget to backup.
    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:
    KB19915How to perform a clean reload of BlackBerry smartphone application software using BlackBerry Desktop Software
    Good luck and let us know!

  • I can't get search now that i've upgraded software

    i can't get search now that i've upgraded software for my n95 does anyone know why and /or what i can do to rectify it?
    thanks eebbee

    Call your service provider and tell them you updated the phone's software. They will send an service message which has your connection settings and you will prompted to save.
    Or you can go to Tools > wizard > Start. It will configure your phone saying defining "operator settings" wait for it to finish
    and exit
