Migrating from BlackBerry BBM Groups to an equal contender on iOS?

Hello,
I carry two phones now, the only reason I keep the Blackberry with me is the Groups feature in the BBM (BlackBerry Messenger).
Whenever someone suggests an alternative, there seems to be a lacking feature.
I keep extended family all over the world in groups so we can remain in touch, the move to iOS has been painful because the ones that have took their BB's along with them.
HELP!

Hello,
Yes been sniffing around the App Store as I don't have any jailbroken devices. Nothing meets the group discussion and photo sharing style.. You either start a chat and invite people to it, when all exit, it all disapears along with that chat.. some apps are front-ends to web forum apps which then gets us closer to the BB method, but then the hassle of setting up a service that's not a click and go service isn't pleasant.
I don't mind the above method, if there's an easy pay and go way.

  • Multiple contacts created while migrating from blackberry to i phone 6

    while migrating from blackberry to i phone 6, i have inherited multiple contact lists. each is different in some way or the other. also, the one on my new phone is different. i need to merge all into one. how do it do it?

    Your question doesn't seem to be related to Microsoft Word at all. I suggest that you try a forum that deals with IPhone.

  • ICloud email (Migrated from .Mac MobileMe) no longer works on older device (iOS 4.2.1)

    Hi there. Here is my question/concern.
    I just migrated to iCloud from MobileMe (with the same Apple ID/email I have had since it was the free iTools.com years ago). Aside from the general up and down connectivity most people are experiencing (I am sure there is a heavy load - I know it will pass in a few days) I have encountered an unexpected side effect.
    (Maybe I should have expected it, however)
    My wife uses a 2nd generation iPod touch, which is still on 4.2.1 (as high as it will ever get). We got an alert on it about not being able to access our account on MobileMe (as it is now part of iCloud).
    Is there any way to set it up manually to get at least the email ability back?

    I've had this happen in the past due to a corrupted email or enclosure. You might want to try to log into your account from your desktop and delete mail from the server from the last few days, store locally on your desktop, and see if that clears it up though I get the impression you're talking about two different accounts so it's unlikely you would get the same email both places but that's usually been the issue for me.

  • How much effort for object migration from CPS Basic to Full version?

    Dear all,
    I've got 2 questions concerning using SAP CPS Basic version first and migrating later to full version, looking for answer(s):
    1. Is it possible to start using the free CPS and then with some tool migrate from many isolation group as to one global ?
    2. Is there any limitation in the number of isolation groups in the free version ?
    If someone have experience, would be great to get feedback.
    Look forward reading from you.
    Best Regards
    Ferry

    Hello,
    1) the product comes with a job to 'De-Isolate' the system when you install a full license. Note that you can only deisolate, it is not possible to go back from full to free.
    2) there is no limitation.

  • Is migrating from one computer equal to merging ?

    Hi ...  Is migrating from one computer to another equal to merging the 2 computers or is it only transferring the old one (10.6.8) to the new one (10.9.3) ?

    Computer B should end up with the applications of computer A in my example.  When you run migration you get the option of transfering applications.  Migration does not run both directions when invoked by computer B for example.  Computer A is not changed.

  • Migration from Outlook Express loses everything after "group"

    Hello,
    I migrated from Outlook Express to Thunderbird on XP, then moved the files to Windows 8.
    I had one "group" in my OE address book. Nothing after that group name (which began with an H) was migrated into the new address book. In other words, I lost everything after H.
    I also have these contacts on Gmail. Is there an easy way to retrieve them from OE (I guess I could delete the group and start over, but that's a long process and I fear losing the mail I've already sent on TB), or is there an easy way to get them from gmail?
    Thanks.
    S

    there are several solutions to your problem, which is best for you I do not pretend to know.
    There is the option of simply copying the WAB file from outlook express to Windows 7 asnd double clicking on it to have it imported to the windows contacts folder. I have instructions here http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/windows-contacts.html that include the windows contact folder into Thunderbird.
    Alternatively you can install one of the gmail contact sync add-ons. I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/google-contacts

  • I have been removed from my own BBM Group!!

    I have been removed from my own BBM Group, And I can't join it again
    So tell me what to do plz

    Thank you-I will contact support.
    No, I cannot wait 90 days.
    Let me restate what I have to endure, even though I own the music and have paid for iTunes Match:
    I cannot access my purchases-zero-at all
    I have to listen to never ending McDonald's latte commercials and progressive insurance. I have now banned both of those annoying businesses and will not make purchases there.
    In summary, I have given apple my minded, and have zero to show for it.
    Ps-you get to hear the McDonald's "love hate commercial" every 2 songs on iTunes Radio.  I have substituted the words where I hate McDonald's and love when the commercial is over.

  • Migrate from Zenworks Windows Policies to AD Group Policies

    Untill now we have been using Zenworks Windows policies to configure some settings.
    We have now migrated to an AD Domain and start to use Domain Group Policies.
    We have recreated a few policies in the AD, but they are not getting applied to our clients.
    What is the correct way to migrate from the one to the other?

    This is likely due to a VERY DUMB default IE GPO settings.
    By Default, IE GPO settings never reapply.
    Try changing your AD IE GPO to tell it to always apply the IE settings.

  • Help with BBM Groups

    Hello all,
    My question pertains to BBM groups which isn't specific to either BlackBerry 10 nor BlackBerry 7 and earlier, and I was not sure which one forum location would be appropriate for this question, so I opted to post it to the Downloaded Software section in both the BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry 7 and earlier spaces.  My appologies if this was not "the right way to do it".
    My question is one that I also posted on CrackBerry.com forums but after some time it seems I may stumped the community over there with this one.
    Here is what I wrote over there:
    "I recently created two BBM Groups and posted them here on CrackBerry with minor fuss. Yay for me. In each forum post I included a QR Code / Bar code of each BBM Group so as to make them easier to join. Yay for me again.
    What I realised thereafter was that though this makes joining easy for anyone reading the posts from a screen other than their BlackBerrys, it does NOT make it easy for someone actually reading the thread from their BlackBerry and thinking to themselves "Oh hey, I want to join that group". At least, not that I can tell. I don't think it's possible to scan a QR code on your BlackBerry screen from the same BlackBerry, right? That's my assumption. If someone knows otherwise, please let me know, that would solve my issue.
    SO, if I am right in my assumption and one cannot scan a QR / Bar code from one's own BlackBerry when said code appears on the BlackBerry's own screen, I am looking for another way to make it easy for someone reading the post to just "tap or click here" to join the group, to make as easy for someone who would be scanning the QR / Bar code from another source.
    I tried getting the text URL for the group from the code and pasting it into a thread, but when it comes up in the CrackBerry app on the BlackBerry, the link is not clickable / tappable. I then tried adding the CrackBerry post editor tool's "Link" too to make the URL text an actual URL, though the only effect that had was that the URL appears clickable / tappable in the BlackBerry's CrackBerry app, but tapping / clicking on it has no effect. After making this change I tried to view the same thread post in my browser both on computer and on the Z10. When I click it DOES react but on the Z10 browser I just get a message "Unable to open bbg:<yadda yadda>".
    So I've shared a lot of detail but the point I am really focused on is "is there a way for BlackBerry users to be able to join my BBM Group, on their own, as easily as if they had scanned the bar code, when all they have access to is the phone itself, and no outside media from which to scan the code"?
    I am trying to avoid things like "Send me your PIN" and such because that just creates so many more steps and acts as a barrier to entry. Similarly, I don't see myself telling the reader "Just take this bar code you see here, and arrange to print or display it somewhere other than on your BlackBerry screen and then scan it".
    Any input on this would be most appreciated!"
    Essentially, I'd like to be able to post something that a BlackBerry user can look at on their BlackBerry, and tap / click on it, and boom they're done (i.e. they are at the same place they would be if they had instead just scanned the QR code).

    I think there is a case for it. With any luck someone from BlackBerry will see the suggestion and will pass it along.

  • Bbm group message problem

    Hi, I am new to this forum so please excuse me if some of my questions seem odd.  I have two questions about using bbm groups.  A group previously set up and used frequently for past year or so now no longer is working.
    Specifically, when I go to the group I show up as 'available and there is an icon of a key next to my name. The other members of the group show up as 'unreachable' and when I highlight each individual the message is 'you are disconnected from John in this group'.  Each of the other individuals are able to chat amonst each other but can't connect to me.
    Each of the other members have been re-invited and have accepted the invite but I get the same error.  Any thoughts and help would be appreciated?  Also is there a list of the various icons that blackberry displays anywhere to be found?

    The 'key' icon indicates you are an Administrator of the Group.
    You need to assign another member as an Administrator of the group, and then you leave the group, Wait a couple of hours or more, and have the remaining Admin re-invite you to the Group.

  • BBM Group Chat Message Retrieval - Help Make a Mother's Day!

    Hey folks,
    I recently returned from a trip abroad and while away I sent to my family various messages to a little BBM Group my younger sister help set up of what I had done the previous days. For some reason that remains to be seen, the default setting on BBM Groups is keep messages for 3 days. Needless to say, there were a few messages that my mom really liked and wants to save, but she isn't technologically inclined and they have since disappeared from her phone.
    Is there any way to get these messages back? Perhaps a phone restore to a few days ago or something? Or is there someone I can call at BB or my carrier (Rogers) to get them to retrieve it? Surely it's saved on a server somewhere.
    My mom woke up this morning stressed beyond belief that she's lost one message I sent in particular (the one reflecting on the trip as a whole) and she would love to be able to save it.
    Thanks, and to the mothers out there: have a happy mother's day!

  • BBM Group Chat Question

    BBM group chat question - from time to time, additional chats show up in our group that have no messages in them. When someone posts in one, the whole group sees it and the admins can delete it, but otherwise they tend to be localized to one or two members and we can't remove them. Is there a way for a non-admin to get rid of one of these chats? My understanding is that if I had started it that I'd be able to delete it but since I'm not the creator I don't have this option. Thanks.

  • Migrating from a BB Curve 9320 to Torch 9810

    I am in the process of migrating from a BB Curve to a Torch. How can I transfer my apps for the one to the other?

    Hello,
    For your AppWorld obtained apps, using the exact same BBID is required on both devices...this transfers all things associated to your BBID account from your old device to your new one, including AppWorld purchase/download records. Refer:
    Article ID: KB17625 How to install or transfer previously purchased applications from BlackBerry App World to a BlackBerry smartphone
    Do keep in mind that if the developer of an app has not made a version compatible with your new device/OS level, then it will not be available for installation to your new device.
    For apps obtained elsewhere, you must look to that "elsewhere" to determine how to transfer your apps to your new device.
    Good luck!
