How do I get a backup of my old BB on my computer to my new one?

Hi all,
My BB screen broke and i desperately need to get my backup off my PC to my new phone! I have made the backup and just now need to know how to get it on.. Specifically need my addess book contacs.
Please can someone help????

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
The backup files (IPD/BBB, depending on the version of the desktop software used) are of a proprietary format, intended solely for use in restoring to a BB. Natively, there is no other purpose, and they are not in "human readable" format.
But, there are 3rd party PC-based apps out there that can parse the file and translate it into human-readable format. A few seconds searching on Google and I'm sure you find one that does what you need...and for free, as far as I recall.
Before you ask...no, I can't recommend one over another. I've never had need to do what you need to do. But I know others who have had good luck with Magic Berry (I think it's called that).
Good luck!

My macbook pro logic board died. I had all my music on an external drive. How do I get my iTunes library, playlists etc. from my dead computer onto my new one?

My logic board died on my old macbook pro. I have a new one, but I want to get my iTunes library off my old hard drive and put it on my new one. I had set up my old MBP to store all my iTunes music on an external drive, so I have the music. The iTunes program was on the old MBP hard drive.How do I essentially recreate my previous iTunes library, playlists, etc on my new laptop?

You will need the iTunes Library.itl file which generally lives in ~/Music/iTunes/. You can recover this from the backups you were making before the HDD died. Otherwise, you cannot recreate the library.

Hi!
There are 2 add-ons that can help you to visualize the Sync key in your phone, choose one of them: http://limpet.net/key/ and https://addons.mozilla.org/mobile/addon/aboutsynckey/
But, because you already reset the Sync key in your account what you should do is to Sync the phone to the account with the new key. Firefox Sync works in the principle of adding, so if your phone has more Bookmarks, History, etc than your computer, this ones will be pushed to the computer without loosing any data.
In order to finish the process you will need to log out first from your phone's Firefox's preferences and then pair the device again following the instructions explained here: [[How do I add a device to Firefox Sync?]]
Let me know if this helps.

I have a new iPhone 5S, how can I get my photostream photos from my previous phone(iPhone 4S) to my new one.

I have a new iPhone 5S, how can I get my photostream photos from my previous phone(iPhone 4S) to my new one.

Setting up iCloud with the same account data and switching on Photostream should do the trick:
I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
If you prefer to have only the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices, and delete the older photos:
If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (on a device using iOS 6, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream). Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
Repeat these steps for each device.

How do I snyc the pictures from my old apple ID/icloud on to my new one????

My apple account was hacked into so I had to change my email on my account. I had tons of pictures saved on that account with icloud, but now that I have a new email address on that account the pictures did not automaticly transfer over. How do I get my pictures from my old account on to the new one please help!!!

You would have to delete the new account from your phone, sign back into the old account, turn on photo stream, save the photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then delete to old account and sign back into the new one again. (When you delete the account it only deletes it from your phone, not from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in. Also, you will only get back photo stream photos added in the last 30 days. After 30 days photos are deleted from your camera roll even though they remain on any device that already has them.)

My computer crashed. I backed up everything on an external drive. How do I get the backup of itunes and all my music back on my new computer?

My computer crashed. I had everything backed up on an external drive. I have a new computer. How do I get itunes back on my new computere from the external drive?

This question has to do with how to restore your computer drive if you backed up the computer to an external drive. Did you use backup software or did you just copy the data from the old computer to the new computer? If you just copied, then you need to just copy over the Music folder which should contain the iTunes folder.

Hi thanks again, is there a way to do this through Icloud?
No.
To get your entire iTunes library onto the new computer, copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
That is all you need to do.

I want to transfer my entire itunes account to another computer. how can i get all of the music i put on my computer on a new computer?

So my family had a computer that kept all of the songs and videos on it for itunes. how can i transfer all of that data to another computer and put that new computer as our home computer for the home itunes computer? please help me. i have been trying to figure this out for 2 months now.

open itunes on the new computer and go to the itunes store
make sure you are signed in with the apple id of whoever purchased all of music from the itunes store
on the right hand side of the itunes store home page, under quick links click 'purchased'
you will be able to download anything you have previously purchased for free
let me know if that works for you.

How can I get the older version of itunes back? I really hate this new one., How can I get the older version of itunes back? I really hate this new one.

I'm having a lot of trouble with this new version of itunes. I never had problems before. Is there a way to get the older version of itunes back so I can be happy once again?

Hi Devorah,
What is it that you are having issues with?
Did you know that you can display the same sidebar you were used to seeing on the old iTunes by clicking on "View" at the top, and then clicking on "Show Sidebar"?
The Songs tab provdes your list of songs that can have the same columns you had on the old Music tab, and you can sort them by any of the categories you have selected for columns.
It may just take a little getting used to. Not sure if you noticed, but the downloading of songs and other purchases is now lightening-fast. That particular trade-off is worth learning some new ways of navigating around. And finding that there are ways to bring back the "look" of the old iTunes was also helpful for me.
Are there particular things which are causing you grief?
Cheers,
GB

Need Help: Can I get songs I bought off Itunes from a different Computer onto my new one?

I do not have the old computer available to me anymore. But when I enter my Itunes Purchased History I see all the songs I bought on the old computer and I would really like to not have to buy those all again. I'm hoping there is a way I can simply download them onto this computer without re-purchasing. Please Let me know!
