IPD files and backing up??

Tried backing up my BB, it successfully saved the back-up file however it's in IPD format. I read online that it's not possible to open IPD files on a PC? So does this mean that it's backed-up already on my PC? then if ever I just accidentally lose my phone memory & stuff, when I sync it to the desktop manager it'll restore them all back? Is that it? Because I don't know if what I've done so far is correct.
HELP PLEASE! first time backing up my BB!

There exists software to open ipd files on a PC, but it isn't necessary. Your BB is backed up to your PC just fine. If you lose your phone memory and stuff, you can restore the information to your BB (same or new - although new one, if it is a different model, is more involved), however, it doesn't happen automatically. You'll have to go into the backup and restore section of Desktop Manager and do the restore.
So, yes, you've done it right! Congratulations!

  • Special characters from textfield to properties file and back

    Hi,
    The character "o with two dots above it" is being read from a file into a String then written to a proerties file.
    It is stored in the proerties file as \uFFFD
    When I read this character from the proerties file, and place it in a JTextField, it is displayed as a box character.
    Is the character \uFFFD a box ?, or is the corruption happening in the JTextField ?
    So my question is,
    Is the Properties object useless or is the JTextfield useless ?
    Cheers

    \uFFFD is a replacement character; it is the substitute for characters that could not be converted to Unicode. This means that the problem is most likely in the code where you read the original file, in effect, that the character encoding you are using to read is different from the encoding of the text file.
    Can you post the code where you read the file? It should look something like this if the original file is encoded in UTF-8:

  • Ipd file backup and / or delete

    I have quite a number of  Backup(date).ipd, autobackup(date).ipd, Loaderbackup(date).ipd, and Blackberry model .ipd files and wonder why they will not backup to my external hard drive. 
    Also, do i need to keep all of these files? 
    If I reformat the Blackberry will I be able to delete these files and start again?
    thanks in advance.

    I have no idea why they won't backup your external hard drive... in your Desktop Manager > Backup settings, do you have that set to save your backups to your external drive?
    You only need to keep them IF you think you'll need them as a backup source in the future. Delete any old ones from a certain data in the past if you think you won't need them.
    Reformatting your BlackBerry should not have affect on being able to delete those files.

  • I can't backup Curve 8520 ipd file to my back-up hard drive

    I back up my PC's hard drive to a free standing Maxtor OneTouch 4 on a daily basis.  However, since installing the BB desktop software, the back-ups are failing with error stating that access to curve 8520.ipd file is denied.  Any thoughts?
    Alan

    Are you saying the PC backup to the external drive is what is failing?

  • My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

    My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
    The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
    I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy....   google...." fcpx time machine problem"  Frist page link

           You cannot have time machine backups on your hard drive if you intend to use it in FCPX.

  • I recently downloaded a  bunch of songs an ringtones from Itunes on my phone. I synced up the phone to my computer to back up the files and to charge it and afterward all the new music and ringtones are gone?! Checked iTunes and they're not there either!

    I recently downloaded a bunch of songs and ringtones to my iPhone 4 and when I synced my phone to my computer to back up the files and to charge the phones the ringtones and songs were gone. They disappeared from my phone and from my iTunes as well. I checked my my iTunes for downloadable items and there was nothing there. I went onto iTunes and tried to download the same things that I had previously and when I did it said I had already downloaded them? iTunes only gave me the option to purchase the music and ringtones again.  Does this happen often or is there something wrong with the software on my iPhone?

    Hi,
    Did you have the music in your iTunes library on your computer when you signed up for match? How did you transfer the music from you iPhone to your computer? Do you have a back up.

  • How can I get back a pages file and its backup if I did not save them to my documents?

    Hallo community!
    My mac got stock on a website because of a java update so I was forced to shut down the computer using the on-botton. Upon restarting my work on Pages I clicked on the file I was working on so as to open both the file and pages but the file wouldnt open. I checked if I had also saved the file on my documents to try to restart it from there. But this file comes originally from a USB which I dont have at this moment although I could kee on working on this file without the usb. The file is not my documents yet it shows on the last files-list of pages.
    I cant open this file anymore, maybe because I did not save it to my files. Although this is strange because I even named another file I worked on along this first document. Enfin, the first file even has a backup according to the list but the backup wont open either. I don't know how to get this file back I am in big trouble If I dont get to open it soon! I hope somebody can help me. Anyone knows a trick or something!?

    What version of Pages?
    It sounds like it may be damaged.
    You do not have to save to Documents.

  • I was messing with the computer, not sure what i hit but now all my toolbars at the top of the screen are gone? (file, edit, history, tools and my forward and back button). Please help me get these settings back to the way they were?

    My file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, and help buttons at the top of the screen are gone, along with my forward and back button.

    For details of how to restore it, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/menu+bar+is+missing
    Once the menu bar is restored, you can use the Toolbars entry in the View menu to restore other toolbars such as the navigation toolbar.

  • TS4036 how can I view backed up files and delete things I don't need

    how do I view backed up files and delete thing I don't need

    You can't view individual files contained in the backup.  You can control which apps are backed up, and whether or not the camera roll is included in the backup, by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tapping the name of your device under Backups, then looking under Backup Options.

  • How can I back up my files and photos on my iPhone to my iMac?

    How can I back up my files and photos on my iPhone to my iMac?

    You can back up the iPhone to your Mac with iTunes.
    Make sure, your iTunes version is up to date. Connect your iPhone to an USB port and launch iTunes.
    See this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    If you want a separate folder with your photos, download the camera roll contents by connecting the iPhone to USB. You emac will see it as camera and you can download the photos using Image Capture to a folder on your Mac, or using iPhoto or Aperture to your photo library.

  • HT1766 Choose File Devices Back up is greyed out and not an option?

    i smashed the screen on my 5s ... i got a new one... File > Devices > Back up does not seem to be an option when i plug in my iphone with the cracked screen..... so i tried to plug in my smashed one to back it up and transfer using my itunes that i just upgraded to latest 11.3 on my macbook pro and its saying 'do you want to set this iphone up as a new phone' or 'backup from some backup in 2012??? i dont want to do either.. i just want to back up my current iph 5s with the smashed screen so i can put the backup onto my new 5s??!!!... i have read many forums and tried to get info off the apple sites but some say it will erase everything and some say it wont... but im scared to go ahead with the setup as new iphone .. bcos ive had it erase everything another time i did it wiht a previous iphone   not cool!!!  why does it have to be so confusing?

    I find that when my device is syncing then the backup is also greyed out. If I wait for the sync to finish then the Backup function works
