Lost everything trying to upgrade...

I'm new here and I apologize if I am on the wrong forum but I need some help with my Blackberry Curve 8330 my phone service is with sprint, I download it to my computer desktop the desktop manager v 4.5 and I was able to transfer all my info from my Treo 600 to my new phone (this was a like a month ago), while I was at work I try to look up the nascar news and it was telling me about an error to contact sprint wich I did and they told me to go to the blackberry website and update the software on the phone. I did this and while I was doing it everything on the phone got wipe out so now I can't make phone call or do anything on the phone because the main screen all it shows is a white screen with 507 on it. Can anyone tell me what to do now to get everything back or what website I can get the software back because I can't seem to find anything that will help me in the blackberry support part on the website.
Thanks,
Felix

Take a look at these guides for how to get your OS installed again.
Perform a clean installation of your OS: www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
Restore a bricked blackberry: http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
Also, the software automatically makes a backup before erasing your OS (usually) so search your computer for .ipd files. It usually stores it in My Documents. You can restore the latest one after reinstalling the OS.

Trouble with Maverick, lost everything on MBP upgrade?

Im not sure what to do next, and afraid I may have lost everything a moment ago
so would really appreciate some help at the moment.
-- Last night I started downloading the Maverick upgrade from app store, woke up and pushed the button to start the install.
-- The screen was showing the green bar at the end stage of the install for an hour, even though it was saying "less than a minute remaining"...
-- I didn't know what to do, so I abandoned without thinking and shut down => restarted => now the computer is taking me through the steps as it did when I first bought the computer.
-- Im afraid I may have wiped the system clean when I aborted the install (?)
-- I started going through the steps, but then stopped when I realized what was happening. Shut down again, restarted in "safe mode" but still getting the set-up (choose your main language) welcome page.
What can I do to get my data back? I moved over to an iMac recently so havent been backing it up with time machine, have a few very important files on the desktop that I would really like to try and recover...
I know this was lame to not have a backup.
Any advice from any of the pros out there,
please help!

Hi, I had exactly the same situation.
Yesterday I managed to reinstall without loosing any data.
I did following:
1) I have installed Maverick OSX once again to external HDD. I pressed CMD-R when booting and selected second option Reinstall OSX and have chosen external drive.
Then I booted from external HDD and WAS ABLE to access all my data on internal HDD. So I did BACKUP and copied them all out to ext HDD.
2) I removed external HDD with backup and pressed CMD-R during restart. I have selected again second option to Reinstall OSX (this time on internal HDD). Everything went smoothly (except the last minute was much longer, but don't panic again - shame on Apple) after installation has completed and did natural reboot I had all my profiles and all my data ready in computer. No need to restore anything from backup

If you have a backup of the previous phone, you can restore from that backup. Also, apps are in iTunes and can be synced. Phone numbers are in whatever supported application you have on the computer, and you can sync them back. Pictures in the camera roll should be imported to the computer. That is where they should be. The only other option is if you were using iCloud and all of it is backed up there.

Tried to do upgrade and lost everything but contacts. Phone wont sync with computer. Do I need to register it as a new iphone?

You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one, then sync.
The iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

I tried to upgrade the new version for i pad mini but when downloading it just went off and told me to connect it to i tunes, so i did and now it says i need to restore it. Does that mean I will lose everything in my i pad?

In other words, the upgrade process did not go altogether well and the device has lost all its contents. When you plug it in, they will be restored from the backup.

After upgrading to Mavericks, I seem to have lost everything in my Outlook for imac 2011.

Hello RodneySmart,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From what I understand about your issues is that your iPad will currently not turn on. In attempt to resolve this issue please follow the steps in order below:
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

My computer crashed, and I lost everything, includingmmovies and music not downloaded in I-tunes...what do I need to do to preserve these files when I upgrade to IOS 5 with the cloud service (I-pad 2)

I had a computer hard drive crash, and lost everything, including music and video I had transferred to my I-Pad 2 from other sources. The upgrade to the current OS warns me that I will lose all non-Apple downloads when I upgrade. I have lots of non-Apple music and videos that I cannot replace. What do I do????

Betsy, the place to look for the conduit settings is not in Palm Desktop, but in the HotSync Manager. This is found in the little Hotsync icon in the bottom right tool tray of your computer.
Click on it, choose Settings, then Applications. Highlight the conduit you wish to change, then click the "Configure" button. Choose the direction you wish. Don't click the "Default" button, or this will be the direction that will occur every time.

Ask your question.I'm trying to upgrade my OS in my iPhone. In iTunes, I backed everything up, then hit upgrade. All I get is This version of iTunes is the current version. How do I override that and download OS 5.0?

You cannot override it.
What version of itunes do you have?
You need itunes 10.1 or higher to get ios 4.2.1 which is the latest available for the iphone 3G.

My daughter was trying to update her itouch and somehow lost everything on it. She had a different ipod before this one, and I think we never registered this one, so it seems the computer restored her itouch to what was on her previos ipod. Any ideas?

My daughter was trying to update her itouch and somehow lost everything on it, but itunes seems to have restored it back to what was on an older ipod she used to have. I don't think we ever registered her itouch, and I know she didn't back it up to the computer. Any chance of getting her stuff back? She lost hundreds of pictures.

- You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- On the computer go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backup of her iPod.
Note that the backup does not included synced media like apps and music.
- Is she update the iPod via iTunes on other then the computer she syncs with the media on the iPod gets erased. Same for if on the syncing computer if the media was not in the iTunes library.

I upgraded my I-tunes and as a result lost everything!

I upgraded my I-tunes and as a result lost everything! My library is gone, my playlists are gone! This is very upsetting. Apple, what were you thinking? How can I restore back to preupgrade?

My earlier advice has been expanded in the light of recent posts. It may well be that your library can be recovered by replacing the current .itl file with a recent .tmp file, or "Previous Version" if Windows is saving those for you.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state. There is also the possibility that Windows (Vista or later) has created backup copies of the iTunes Library.itl file which may be found if you right-click on the current copy and select Restore Previous Versions.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.
