Hi and welcome to the forums!
I would activate it first and get used to the basic operation.
The upgrade will take about an hour to be on the safe side, and yes always take a full backup before
any upgrade. The link below will provide you with your carrier's website for downloading the Blackberry
device OS. Do you have the Blackberry desktop manager installed? What version is it?
Also attached is the upgrade procedure.
Thanks,

  • My computer was stolen, I just purchased a new one and I want to redownload my old purchases. Not all of my purchases are on my itouch. How do I get the other purchases back?

    You can recover any purchased songs that are on iPods using the procedure here.
    If this is not available, you can ask Apple to allow you to download your music again. Note that, first, they DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. Purchase of music from the iTunes store entitles you to one download of that item. Second, note that if Apple does allow you to download a second time, they have to pay royalties on each download, whether you pay for it or not. Last, if they allow it, please back up your purchases.
    To request a redownload, contact iTunes support from the menus in iTunes or use this page.
    Best of luck.

    I'm having the same issue. All my applications transferred over. Lightroom is working, but when I went to edit a picture in Photoshop, I got an error message. It told me to restart, but the program still won't open after restart. It says licensing has stopped working, but what does that mean? I can't tell whether it's unsupported/blocked, or if it's a malfunction. The error code is 150:30 See screen shot.

  • I just purchased a mac pro and i wanted to know if they bring microsoft installed already or would i have to purchase it?

    i just purchased a mac pro and i wanted to know if they bring microsoft installed already or would i have to purchase it?

    You would have to purchase Microsoft Office for the Mac, if you want genuine Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. There are other less costly compatible and work-alike products available.
    To install Microsoft Windows, you need to buy Microsoft Windows software, run BootCamp software and partition your Boot Drive, then install Microsoft Windows in its own disk partition, which is a fairly complex process. Then, while running Windows, Install whatever other Windows programs you would like to run. None of this is necessary to simply read and write Microsoft Word or Excel documents.
    There are other compatibility options that you may find adequate for other Windows programs. What do you want to run in Windows?

  • I just bought a new IMAC and i want to install the Office Mac 2011, but it doesn´t have a CD unit. How can I do it?

    I just bought a new IMAC and I want to install the Office Mac 2011, but it doesn´t have a CD unit. How can I do it?

    Howard has the easiest answer. Or at least, cheapest, since you don't need to purchase an external CD/DVD drive.
    The "demo" software from Microsoft's site is exactly the same as what's on the DVD. Install that and activate it with the key in your software box.
    From Microsoft's site:
    How do I install Office for Mac 2011 if my Mac doesn't have a DVD drive?
    There are two options for installing Office for Mac if your Mac doesn't have a DVD drive.
    Option 1: Convert your Office for Mac 2011 trial. To convert a trial version, you must have a valid product key. The product key will convert your trial into a fully licensed version of Office for Mac.
    1. Locate the 25-character product key in your product package or confirmation email.
    2. Open any Office for Mac application, like Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
    3. On the first screen of the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, click Enter your Product Key.
    4. Enter your product key and complete the installation instructions.
    Option 2: If you have not previously installed the trial version, you can download Office for Mac from the Office for Mac website. To download, install, and activate the software you must have a valid Office 2011 product key.
    1. Locate your 25-character product key found in your product package or confirmation email.
    2. Go to www.officeformac.com/download
    3. Click Get Started to start the download process.
    4. When prompted, enter your 25-character product key and select your product language.
    5. When prompted, sign in with your Windows Live ID or sign up and create a new Windows Live ID account.
    6. After you enter your Windows Live ID, you will see a link to download the software. (You will also receive a confirmation email with a link to your My Account page if you prefer to wait and download your software at a later time.)
    7. Click Download Now to start the download.
    8. Save the file to your desktop. Do not change the file name.
    9. When the download is complete, double-click the .dmg file icon on your desktop. This opens the Installer application in Mac OS X.
    10. Follow the instructions in the installer screens to complete your installation.

  • I have just purchased a macbook air and have the iWorks installed for free. Can I download those iWorks apps to my iPad 3 with the same account for free

    I have an iPad 3 with iOS 6.1.3 and I would like to download the iWork's apps for free. I have just bought a Macbook air and have those apps installed in that computer. i just updated my system to OS X Maverick. I have iCloud connection between both of my devices. Thanks ahead

  • I just purchased a new iMac, and I want to sync my contacts and iCal from my older Macbook Pro.  What is the easiest way to do this?

    I'm not sure how to sync contacts and iCal between my older Macbook Pro and my new iMac.  I've searched on Google for a few explanations, but they seem fairly complicated.  Are there any easy ways to make this happen?

    Is this a  one time sync or do you want to keep them synced all the time?
    If it's a one time sync you want to use Setup Assistant to migrate your data from the old machine to the new one. You can use the Lion Setup Assistant tips for help.
    If you want to always keep them synced you have several alternatives. First is you can wait for iCloud which will be released this Fall according to Apple. You can find information about iCloud at www.apple.com/icloud. Several years ago I began using a tool called Synctogether which syncs Bookmarks, Calendars, Contacts, Widgets, Dock Items, Mail Accounts and Mail Signatures. You just check what you want synced, for example I do Bookmarks, Calendars and Contacts. This app sells for about $49 I think, however if I were you I'd wait for iCloud which will give you 5GB (which is a LOT) for free.

  • HT1848 I just purchased a new computer and I want to sync my itouch music, music from CD's I own and NOT purchased thru itunes, to the new itunes on the new computer.  How do I accomplish this?  Again, music on my itouch to a new computer itubnes library.

    I recently bought a new windows computer.  I downloaded itunes on my new computer.  When I went to sync it only allowed my to sync purchased music.  Problem is I have about 200 CD's of mine that I downloaded to the itouch on the previous PC.  How do I get that music to sync as well.  Please help

    Copy your music library from the old machine to the new, or from the backup of your old machine to the new.

  • I just purchased a i mac and i wanted to know if anyone knows how to put music in my mp3. do i have to use iTunes or how do i go about it?

    can anyone help me here im soooo lsot i dont know what to do

    Many generic mp3 players come with a usb style charger/cable.  If yours does try connecting the cable to one of the Mac's usb ports and the other end to your player.  If it has the appropriate plug 'n play firmware it will appear as a drive icon on the desktop.  Browse the player looking for a folder named "music" or something similar.  Try dragging some tracks from iTunes and dropping them into this folder.  Eject the drive icon (right or control click and select eject).  Unplug the player and check for success.

    I have  Whats app installed on two i phones i have just purchased an ipad mini and would like to install this app.  A message comes up and tells me that it is not compatible.  I there a way i can download app.

    Since you have another Mac, you could share it's DVD drive in System Preferences > Sharing.
    Then use Remote Disc found on the MBair's finder's sidebar.  This will mount the DVD in your old Mac to the MBair.
