Is it possible to use BlackBerry ID on 8520?

Hi there.
Is there any way for BB 8520 (gemini) to transfer BBM contacts via BBM ID?
Not by backup and restore from BB desktop software (using desktop software will make all bbm contacts to be re-invited and need to accepted again to be in contacts).
I think I need to upgrade my BBM (currently v 5.0.1) to BBM 7. Is it compatible with my OS (BB OS 5)? And where can I get BBM 7 for my device?
Thank you

Yes, you can update your BBM. Use BBWorld to update BBM to the latest. It will then transfer your contacts to your BBID.

  • Possible to use blackberry music through car audio?

    Well I just got a 8310 and was wondering if it is possible to hook it up (either through bluetooth, usb, or an aux cord) to a car stero system and play music from it? (similar to how you can hook up Ipods)

    First thing is first, you need to check if your head unit has AUX input and it would have to be a 1/8 inch connector just like a regular headset.  if it does weather it be on the front or black you can just get a 1/8 inch to 1/8 inch wire which as a headset jack on each end, one for your AUX input and one for the headset jack on the BB. 
    as far as Bluetooth, i have the 8310 for AT&T and it doesn't have stereo bluetooth profile.  and usb, i don't think the audio will transfer that way.
    hope that helps.

  • Can i use blackberry builtin email client with wifi without BIS or BES

    Hello everyone, I am using blackberry 9300 curve 3G. is it possible to use blackberry builtin email client through wifi without having the Blackberry services (BIS or BES)? i want to use my official email id (POP3 and smtp) on it. if possible please share the method..
    Thanks in advance

    Not that I know of.  You have to have a blackberry data plan in order to use the built in email.  After that, you can use WiFi only.

    Yes, it's possible.
    First, you need to do a backup of the data you wish to transfer.  To do this, plug your phone in to BlackBerry Desktop Software and click Device at the top of the software then click Backup.  Once the backup file is on your PC, plug another phone in to BDS and this time click Device then Restore.  As long as the backup file is compatible with the new phone you plugged in (i.e. you're not trying to restore data from a PlayBook to a Curve, etc.), it will transfer.
    I hope that helps you.

  • Is it possible to use wildcards to match cell contents in an if statement?

    I need to return a ID along with some other information on a page by page basis, so that the information comes out linked by position.  I use a couple of loops and if statements to navigate through the document.  I am able to use exact matches of cell contents which is fine when the contents doesn't vary.  But the IDs, though they have a similar pattern, are all different. In a menu driven search, I am able to find what I need with '150^9^9^9^9^9-^9^9^9' But when I try putting this (or any number of [0-9], *, ? combinations) it fails.  Is it possible to use wildcards?  The symbol used for the match (==) makes me suspect that it is not possible and that only literal, exact matches will work.  But I wanted to check with the experts before giving up.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the input.  You're right, a GREP search is much more efficient.  But what I'm trying to do and the circumstances here don't allow me, I think,  to go that route. I am trying to generate a list of values coming from several textframes on a single page and have them come out so that I can tell which values belong together.
    I'm using an inherited document with masters that were created 'manually';  the index numbering for textframes and tables is random. I navigate through the pages, looping through textframe indices asking ' does this textframe exist?' If so, I ask if it is a table -- if no, it is a simple textframe and I ask about the ID, if yes, I ask if the contents of cell (0,0) (invariant position and contents) are equal to the table I want..  I am sending the ID and other pieces of information from the table to one row of a new table on a new page.  So the ID and other information from a single page are linked by being in the same row.
    I know this a little 'off-normal' -- I'm using the search to navigate through the document and find things by location the way you do with a spreadsheet.  I have devised a work-around that helps me get around the fact that the ID is not invariant.  I create a list of the (exact) IDs from another document, equating them to a variable ('a').  I then loop through the list of IDs and ask if the contents of the textframe is equal to 'a'..This works o.k, unless there happens to be an extra space, a different kind of hyphen, etc. It would be so much easier if I could use the wildcards that work in a menu-driven text or GREP search in script just to ask about the contents of the textframe.
    Thanks again
    pcbaz (Peter BIerly)
    P.S. we have since rewritten the masters so this problem will not exist in the future -- we now know exactly which textframe and/or table indices to refer to to get any particular bits of information and don't need to ask questions about the contents.

  • How to find a lost BlackBerry 10 smartphone using BlackBerry Protect

    Posted originally on the Inside BlackBerry Help Blog
    It’s a scenario no one wants to encounter but here’s a quick overview how you can help locate your BlackBerry 10 smartphone using BlackBerry Protect if you can’t find it.
    Tip: Using a BlackBerry OS device? Check out this post for help locating your device using BlackBerry Protect.
    Step 1 – Enable BlackBerry Protect and turn on Location Services
    To locate your smartphone you must enable BlackBerry Protect and turn on Location Services.
    After you turn on Location Services, your smartphone only sends its location information when you request it through the BlackBerry Protect website, or when your battery power is low.
    Swipe down from the top of the screen
    Tap  Settings > BlackBerry Protect
    Set the BlackBerry Protect switch to On
    Tap Location Services
    Set the Location Services switch to On
    Tap  Back to save your change
    Step 2 – Log in to the BlackBerry Protect website
    After you enable BlackBerry Protect and turn on Location Services, complete the following steps to view the location of your smartphone on a map.
    Log in to the BlackBerry Protect website located at http://protect.blackberry.com
    Click View Location
    BlackBerry Protect will attempt to locate your smartphone
    If your smartphone can be located, a map appears similar to the following showing the approximate location:
    If you still can’t find your smartphone at the reported location, use the Play Sound option within the BlackBerry Protect website. This option makes your smartphone ring loudly for one minute as well as activating the Loud profile.
    Help! BlackBerry Protect can’t locate my smartphone!
    To locate your device it must be turned on and connected to the wireless network.
    Because BlackBerry Protect also uses GPS, you may not locate your smartphone if it is inside a building, underground, or otherwise blocked from receiving a satellite signal.

  • Is it possible to use a cable with two headphone jacks on either end and an electric guitar adapter to record in Garageband?

    Hey everyone,
    I got my Macbook Air (Mid 2013 model) last month and I want to record my acoustic-electric guitar on Garageband (which came with the Air). 
    I don't want to buy a guitar that has a USB. I have a cable with a 3.5 mm headphone jack on both ends like the one pictured here on this website http://www.bestdealaz.com/item.php?id=628 (i didn't buy it from this site though).
    I connected a 6.3 mm guitar adapter (http://www.ebay.com/bhp/headphone-guitar-adapter) to this cable. Then I connected one end of the cable to my guitar and the other end to the Headphone/Microphone jack on the left side of the MBA.
    I saw how other people were saying to go to System Preferences / Sound and then change audio output to audio input.
    I can't do that. I tried.
    Please help!
    Thank you.

    Hello Massimo Pascucci,
    The issue that you are facing when creating an endpoint with internal loadbalancer is the limitation of not allowing same ports to be listening under a single cloud service. This reason for this is that there is a limitation of only one private IP (Also
    known as the Internal load balanced IP) per cloud service.
    There is also a limitation on the Internal load balancer more than one port to be published per load balancer:

    11.09.12 22:16:06,148 ClamXavSentry[286]: I will quarantine infected files
    This doesn't have anything to do with your problem, but it will likely cause other issues with your e-mail.
    Here's my standard recommendation concerting the use of A-V software to deal with potentially infected messages:
    Never use ClamXav (or any other A-V software) to move (quarantine) or delete e-mail. It will corrupt the mailbox index which could cause loss of other e-mail and other issues with functions such as searching. It may also leave the original e-mail on your ISP's e-mail server and will be re-downloaded to your hard drive the next time you check for new mail.
    So, if you choose to "Scan e-mail content for malware and phishing" in the General Preferences, make sure you do not elect to either Quarantine or Delete infected files.
    When possibly infected e-mail files are found:
    Right-click/Control-click on either the infection or file name in the ClamXav window.
    Select "Reveal In Finder" from the pop-up menu.
    When the window opens, double-click on the file to open the message in your e-mail client application.
    Read the message and if you agree that it is junk/spam/phishing then use the e-mail client's delete button to delete it (this is especially important when the word "Heuristics" appears in the infection name).
    If you disagree and choose to retain the message, return to ClamXav and choose "Exclude From Future Scans" from the pop-up menu.
    If this is a g-mail account and those messages continue to show up after you have deleted them in the above manner, you may need to log in to webmail using your browser, go to the "All Mail" folder, find the message(s) and use the delete button there to permanently delete them from the server.
    To fix the corrupted mailbox index(es), highlight each one that was corrupted and choose Rebuild from the appropriate menu.

  • Is it possible to use backup files previously copied to an external hard drive to backup an iPhone?

    My sister froze her iPhone by trying to turn it off during a software update (not sure why) and restored it because she thought it would fix it. Unfortunately she unintentionally deleted all of her data and settings. She doesn't use iCloud, so I'm assuming all her files are backed up to her computer when she syncs her iPhone, but using iTunes I can only find two backup points using Edit>Preferences>Devices, both in the past few minutes. I know that each sync overrides the last backup files instead of creating newer ones, so apparently older backup files from her computer can't be used to recover her data. However, we both periodically use an external hard drive to back up our computers by basically dragging and dropping our files onto it, so there is an earlier version of her User folder on the external hard drive. It would definitely be preferable to use the backup files from a few months ago that are on the external hard drive and lose a few photos than to lose years of data, so would it be possible to direct iTunes to those backup files (AppData etc) instead of the ones saved on her computer hard drive? There's not any kind of browse option I can see that could allow me to get iTunes to search for backup files on the external hard drive and I'm not computer savvy enough to manually find the files and connect them to iTunes. Is it even possible to use backup files from an external hard drive? Do I have to replace the ones that exist on her computer now?

    Garageband can't use VST plugins.
    If you're talking about AUs: you could try to put an alias into the HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components folder instead of the actual files, and see if GB loads them.

  • Is it possible to use both an ILB and an ELB (listening on the same port) in the same Azure cloud service?

    I'm building a test Lync deployment on Azure; yes, I know this is not supported, hence "test".
    Lync Front-End servers expose two set of web services, one for internal users and one for external ones; they listen on different ports (443 and 4443) on the same servers; when external services are published, you need a reverse proxy or a port forwarding
    in order to map port 443 of a public IP address to port 4443 of the Front-End server(s). When you have multiple Front-End servers in a pool, you also need to load-balance them.
    So, a typical Lync deployment looks like this:
           Internal users
                     |
                   443
                      |
              Internal LB
            192.168.0.20
            443         443
              |               |
       Lync FE 1     Lync FE 2
    192.168.0.21 192.168.0.22
              |               |
          4443        4443
              External LB
           Public IP Address
                     |
                  443
                     |
           External Users
    This should be easily replicated in Azure, as it supports both external load balancing and internal load balancing. They are even supported together in the same cloud service, so this configuration should be easy. However, it looks like "should"
    is the keyword here.
    After creating the external load balanced endpoint (which listens on external port 443 and forwards to port 4443 on the servers), I'm trying to create an internal load balancer and add internal endpoints to is; however, while the ILB can be created successfully,
    adding an internal endpoint listening on port 443 and forwarding to port 443 on the servers fails miserably, with an error stating that port 443 is already in use by another endpoint:
    Update-AzureVM : BadRequest : Port 443 is already in use by one of the endpoints in this deployment. Ensure that the port numbers are unique across endpoints within a deployment.
    For reference, my commands are:
    Add-AzureInternalLoadBalancer -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB" -ServiceName "LyncFrontEnd" -SubnetName "LabSubnet" -StaticVNetIPAddress 192.168.0.20
    (This completes successfully)
    Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | Add-AzureEndpoint -Name "Https-Int" -Protocol "tcp" -LocalPort 443 -PublicPort 443 -LBSetName "HttpsIntLB" -DefaultProbe -InternalLoadBalancerName "LyncILB"
    (This fails)
    The existing external endpoint is configured as such:
    Get-AzureVM LYNCFE1 | get-azureendpoint
    LBSetName : HttpsExtLB
    LocalPort : 4443
    Name : HTTPS-Ext
    Port : 443
    Protocol : tcp
    Vip :
    ProbePath :
    ProbePort : 4443
    ProbeProtocol : tcp
    ProbeIntervalInSeconds : 15
    ProbeTimeoutInSeconds : 31
    EnableDirectServerReturn : False
    Acl : {}
    InternalLoadBalancerName :
    IdleTimeoutInMinutes :
    LoadBalancerDistribution :
    The error doesn't even make a lot of sense; the external load balancer listens on a public IP address, while the internal load balancer listens on a private IP address in the internal network; there
    shouldn't be any conflict here... however it looks like there is one instead.
    Why doesn't this work? Am I doing something wrong, or is Azure networking just being silly as usual again?

  • HT1420 Possibility to use 1 Computer - configured with 2 user accounts - each account uses a different Apple-ID for iTunes authorization ?

    I wonder if it is possible to use 1 Computer (Macbook Pro)
    - configured with 2 (ore even more) user accounts (i.e. me + my kid)
    - and each user account has a different Apple-ID (account) for iTunes purchases & iTunes authorization ?
    I woud think that is fine in terms of the underlying license agreement refereing to re-download purchased movies, shows, apps, etc.
    However, it seams that there is that miraculous 90 days restriction, which I don't understand, and which allows me only to "authorise" the Computer under one or the other account. The switch is unfortunatelly only possible every 90 days ?!?
    Thanks anybody for help
    Oliver

    The 90 day association doesn't stop you authorising an account, it only stops you from using another account for iTunes Match or automatic downloads or redownloading its past purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    There are a few methods listed on this page for how you could do it e.g. multiple user acounts, same iTunes but you having separate playlists, separate iTunes libraries : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
