Migration from the Blackberry Internet Server

Hello Blackberry support.
I'm currently using an OS7 Torch. It's running on the Blackberry Internet Service and so the device has an email address something like [email protected] Email arriving at that address can be filtered and then pushed out to the handheld. Wonderful service and works great.
I understand that the OS10 devices can't play here, probably due to RIM wanting out of the server business.
I'm like thousands and thousands of small users, wondering what Blackberry is suggesting as a migration path off the BIS.

Do you know why there`s no response to this question from the blackberry support experts? It`s because there`s no good answer. There are 80 million blackberry users still getting their mail at [email protected] and there's no path off that. Here's the options and none of them include retaining the email address.
1/ Buy a BES server and get it running. Expensive and out of the reach of most BIS users
2/ Buy an Exchange server and get it running. Epensive and out of the reach of most BIS users.
3/ Buy and run some kind of IMAP server. Epensive and out of the reach of most BIS users.
4/ Sell your soul to one of the big email hosting outfits like gmail, outlook, yahoo, apple, etc. and let them paw through everything you have with them looking for advertising opportunities to sell stuff to you and your contacts. Get no tech or personal support. Gmail is running 250m email accounts. Think they have any way to deal with individuals with problems?
5/ Pay for a private and secure email hosting outfit running BES, IMAP or Exchange and migrate to them.
It seems that Blackberry is only interested in the users capable of the first three options, and these are large businesses usually. The small consumer level blackberry fans are being pushed into the snow, there's no future here for them.
Android phones have eaten three quarters of those pushed out. Any doubt why?

Is the HDD in the 2009 15" MBP dead? (The original source of your data) If not, you might want ot take it out and put it in an enclosure.
You might try spotlight on know files to see if that gives you any clues where your data is located.
You might down load from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It should show you all of the files you have on your MBP and enable to locate them.
Ciao.

"Unable to connect to the BlackBerry ID server. Please try again. (50500)"

We have a user that is continually getting asked to verify his blackberry ID. Whenever the device turns on, tries to access apps etc.
Whenever he types in his correct Blackberry ID details (verified as we are able to login at http://au.blackberry.com/bbid.html without any issues, both on PC and from the devices browser itself) we are met with the following error;
Unable to connect to the BlackBerry ID server. Please try again. (50500)
We have tried nearly every possible way to get around this, tried seperate BBID's (none work), different networks, resetting passwords, clearing browser cache, removing wifi networks, battery pulls etc etc. We were resigned to the fact that the device would have to be wiped however we cant even connect it to Link to take a backup without it saying "please sign in with your blackberry id on your device" within the Link window in order to backup certain stuff.
Can anyone recommend anything we can do to either fix this issue, or try and allow us to take a full backup - (note; we have already tried disabling all networks on the device and no internet connectivity on the PC its connected to and trying to run a backup as well but to no avail).

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:
KB33916 "Unable to connect to the BlackBerry ID Server (50500)" is displayed when attempting to change the BlackBerry ID Password or Recovery Question on the BlackBerry 10 smartphone
Unfortunately, it has nothing useful (except for at least knowing that BB knows of the issue).
You might try some of the things from this "sticky" post:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-World/How-to-regain-access-to-your-BBID/td-p/25467...
Otherwise, you might need to ring up your mobile service provider and convince them to escalate you to formal BlackBerry support.
Good luck and let us know!

Can't install Server Essentials because it is not currently available from the Software Update server?

Hi Guys,
I have just purchased Mac OS X Lion Server. When I launch the Server App I am told I need to download additional software but once the App attempts to do so I get this message "Can't install Server Essentials because it is not currently available from the Software Update server".
I looked around on the internet and I found a few vague comments stating I may need to insert commands into the Terminal. Can anybody help me please?

Had the same message myelf but it is there. Somebody posted a link to it, will see if I can find it......
Thought so, Karlegas found it.

Migrating from antique 10.3 server to 10.6 managed environment. tips?

Hi, I'm migrating an old 10.3 Server to 10.6 (new hardware) and I was wondering if anyone had any tips or warnings before we start this process.
10.3 server only has following services active: AFP, Mail, OD, Web. It's important to note that users simply mount AFP directories. There is no single-signon at play or Networked/Mobile Home folders.
on 10.6 we'd like to get these basic services up and running as quickly as possible then switch users to Network/Mobile Home folders.
I'm not expecting (nor do even think it's possible) to "migrate" anything from 10.3 to 10.6. Because of this I plan to archive all email that is stored on server (cyrus 10.3) to each user's local Mail.app (10.6).
The new server will be set-up from scratch and all active current users will be recreated as well as the file system which is not too complex. Share Points will be copied to the new server and permissions adjusted recursively.
My biggest areas of concern are *1) how best to handle migration of mail on server?* Which I think will be simplest if each user archives locally and then we switch services to the new 10.6 host and, basically, abandon the 10.3 cyrus mail stores. BUT, that gives rise to my next, larger, concern: *2) how then to migrate current 10.6 clients to managed Networked/Mobile clients?* Especially when considering the 10.6 clients have *local users* logging into *local accounts* that were previously accessing the 10.3 server for mail & AFP.
Any/all tips or experiences with this would be helpful!
Thanks!

You may want to take a look here http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Cyrus and see if any of the scripts will suit your needs. Dovecot mail boxes match the "Generated UID" that is viewable in the Inspector portion of the Workgroup Manager app for each user account.
When we moved from 10.3.9 to 10.6 it was determined that to avoid future complications new user and group accounts with the same UID would be created on the new server.
Then it was just a matter of transferring data to the appropriate directories and making sure that the data had the correct permissions. If you are moving from local homes to network homes, you can copy any required items from the local machine to the newly created network home. Users downloaded their mail to their local mail database via POP prior to the move. Since SquirrelMail is still used as webmail it may be possible to migrate from the previous version but you will want to know where the data lives on both the new and old server prior to the move. Check the SquirrelMail website for further information on migration between versions.

Migration from 10.8.X Server to fresh installation of 10.9 Server

Hello everyone,
I need advice on how to migrate the Wiki and Mail from a backup of a (no longer existing) 10.8.X Server to a complete fresh installation (= I didn't do an upgrade!!!!) of a 10.9 Server.
I would prefer CLI-commands and not the migration-assistant!
cheers

Hello Tim
Thank you very much for going into this! What is AFAIK?!
Unfortunately it's not so straight forward for me - non of them did help me? I get error-messages I can't interpret.
Regarding schema:
this is printscreen from the Mavericks Server showing the path /Library/Server/Wiki
this is the printscreen from the Mountain Lion Server Backup where the path is the same:
Yet, the contents of the Wiki-Folders are different. The Database.xpg and PostgresSocket Folders aren't there in the ML-installation, and they never where.
I don't have hardware where I could install the ML-Server so I need get hands on to the data I have and make usable again
Jaydisc - yes - he seems to have a deep, definately deeper than I have, knowledge.

Software for HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP is not currently available from the Software Update server.

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion, and found that I could no longer print to my HP CM1312nfi.
This is usually a problem with HP at every upgrade, but this time, they appear to have offloaded the driver download process to Apple.
My printer is connected wirelessly through a time capsule by IP address—the physical, not the virtual, e.g: 169.254.xx.xx instead of 10.0.1.x.
When I try to download the driver by bonjour or IP, I get the following error message:
Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi MFP because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
Is this truly a Software Update server error, and if so, any clue when it will be resolved?
I am able to print with the generic driver as of now, but fax and scan capabilites are gone. The add fax dialog lists no devices.
Scanning is not supported on my printer model with the Hewlett Packard Print 2.12 driver. Will support be forthcoming, or did Mountain Lion brick my scanner?
Thanks for your time and attention.

Of course, once I posted this, I tried again and downloaded the driver without issue.
My second question still stands, however:
Scanning is not supported on my printer model with the Hewlett Packard Print 2.12 driver. Will support be forthcoming, or did Mountain Lion brick my scanner?

Can't install printer driver: HP Color LaserJet 2605dn drivers "not currently available from the Software Update server"

I was having trouble printing to my HP Color LaserJet 2605dn from a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion, so I went to System Prefernces -> Print & Scan deleted it and atempted to re-add it. When I try add the printer I get this message:
Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?
After clicking Download & Install (the only option other than Cancel), I get this:
Can't install the software for the Hewlett-Packard HP Color LaserJet 2605dn because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
What's the workaround when Mountain Lion can't find the driver?
Thanks!

The 2605dn has dual Network and USB connectivity. Which are you attempting to configure: Network or attached USB?
Printer on, and if networked, use a static IP address
Print & Scan
IP
Provide printer static IP address
Select Printer Software ... HP Color LaserJet 2605dn driver (not sure about that 2600 driver)
Add
Configure Driver under Options and Supplies
I have a 1994 HP Laserjet 4m Plus set up using these steps and the appropriate driver. I just added another network printer, using the same IP address, but using the above 2605dn driver without any issue other than complaint about a redundant IP address.
Hopefully, you have already sorted this out.

I had over 200 e-mails. I went to my webmail and deleted most of them. However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails. How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server? Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well? Thanks.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Hi i am trying to install windows to my macbook through boot camp and i get this message Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.!!!what can i do???please help me!

Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server. this is the message that i get a few days now that i am trying to install windows through boot camp to my macbook!does anybody knows what i can do????

You keep it on the usb stick for after you boot into Windows. From Windows you install the Windows Support software on the stick. Do you realize that you need to buy and install Windows? The Windows Support software you downloaded is only the Windows drivers for your hardware.
Read the Boot Camp installation instructions and help guides located here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
/Library/Printers/Canon
and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again.

HT204135 not able to add my hp laser jet 3330 mfp printer, I get a message that it is not currently available from the software update server. What do I do?

how can I installed my hp printer when I get a message that it is not currently available from the software update server?

The drivers are there. I see this quite often. What's happened is the supported devices list on the Mac is a little out of date. All you should have to do is disconnect the printer from the Mac, run Apple Software Updates, restart the Mac, connect the printer back to the Mac, and add the printer's queue to the Mac. You can find a little more information on this and other helpful tips in the link below. Let me know what happens.

TS3147 Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R2000 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R2000 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server???
I am using mac osx 10.8 and now cant get print software for epson R2000 printer.

After system update, my Epson Stylus SX 535WD was ''gone''. I tried in vain to add it as an IP printer (got the IP-address from the printer). The printer model is correctly recognized, software download starts -- but then the "software ... is not currently available..."
Resetting the printing system did not help. Downloading Epson Printer Drivers v2.15.1 from here
did not help either, downloading Epson Printer Drivers.
In the end, I re-installed the printer software from the original CDs. After that the printer showed up as a Bonjour Printer, and I could add it without problem.
But note: although the printer is installed now and working properly, I still get the old error message (...software ..not available...) if I try to add the printer as an IP printer !?
