Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums
You can Also try ABC Amber BlackBerry Converter or  IPD bbb Extract  Those software were also able to open and extract those Backup files.

    Well, if simply double-clicking the .bbb file doesn't work, first try dragging the file onto the BBDM icon (either in the Dock, on the desktop or in the Applications folder or wherever it's stored). That tells Finder to open it with that application.
    Otherwise, right-click on the file and choose the Open With option. If BBDM is not the default, select Get Info and use the Open with box from there to select it (if it's not in the list, choose 'other' and navigate to it), then click the 'change all' button.

  • Open a .bbb files with another software than Link to retrieve drafts

    Hello,
    I have a Blackberry Q10 which is synchronized with an Exchange account for my work email. I did a full backup of the phone via Blackberry Link before making an update.
    My problem, this shift has removed my drafts that existed only on my phone. Usually to made a "memo" I create a new email, I mark the info and I "save" without send. It displays with my other emails but not sync with Exchange (I do it to prevent my very confidential info not roam on an Exchange server).
    I made this shift, they disappeared ... I restored the data, they reappear not ...
    2 questions at once:
    - Is the backup via Link backup me these drafts?
    - Is there an soft that allows me to open the file .bbb and check the contents of the backup on my pc. No obligation to restore on the BB but if I can copy that info on another place, this would be very helpful!
    Thank you !

    As far as I know the .BBB it is not possible to open them, it is a security feature, otherwise it would just defeat the purposse of having a secure device if you could just open a backup file

  • HOW TO OPEN A BBB FILE ?

    I simply want to back up my contact list should i lose my phone. I back up into a bbb file and i cannot open ?

    There are a couple of options for extracting and viewing data from a the backup files.
    1. The IPD Parse macro is designed to read a Blackberry IPD file and create reports in MSWord or MSExcel. It is free, and you can find out more here: https://sites.google.com/site/ipdparse/home
    For .bbb backup files, use this macro to extract seven "primary" IPD files (Address Book, Calendar, SMS Messages, Tasks, Memos, PIN Messages and Phone Call Logs)
    IPD bbb Extract macro https://sites.google.com/site/ipdbbbextract
    These IPD files can subsequently be used as inputs to the other macro, IPD Parse, to produce reports.
    2. Another options is MagicBerry from MenaStep... which extract from a backup IPD or BBB file, split IPD files, etc. http://menastep.com/pages/magicberry.php
    3. Another IPD and BBB file utility is BlackBerry Backup Extractor, and is available for PC and Mac, and can be found here: http://www.blackberryconverter.com/ There is a free and paid version.

  • How to open z10 bbb files on my pc

    I am trying to open my z10 back up files on my laptop with no success. I have tried the bb backup converter but that can't work with 10 files. 
    Is there any program or work around that can open these files?

    It's never been something that BB has supported. Security is BB's number one focus and a backup can only be restored to a device using the same BBID as the backup was made under.
    I highly doubt it is something that they are going to do.

  • HELP! - MONTHS OF DATA LOCKED IN BBB.file

    I pray there is a simple answer for this problem, because I'm ready to throw my Playbook under a truck!
    Two days ago, I sync'd my Blackberry Playbook with my PC.  The sync process created a bbb. archive file with 9G of pictures and videos from my Playbook.  During that same process, all the videos and pictures were automatically removed from my Playbook.  The files are now locked in a bbb. file on my computer, which I can not open, access, read or restore to my Playbook.  Months of photos, data, video all lost?!?  WTF!!!
    I've already tried the restore option under the Blackberry Desktop Software, and it will not restore the photos and videos to the Playbook.
    Is there some way to open a bbb. file?
    Is there some way to restore the photos and videos to my Playbook?
    Is there some way to access the photos and videos so that I can use, edit or re-save them on my PC?
    Any assistance would be most appreciated!

  • BBB Files Needed

    There seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the new *.bbb BlackBerry Backup file format. I'm doing my best to sift through it all and I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me.
    Let me give you a little background first:
    I'm a software developer, recently hired. I was just tasked with updating some existing software that opens and extracts data from *.ipd backup files. I'm trying to understand how the new file format works, and I need a little help.
    I believe that all of the following is true:
    1) Up until earlier this year, the PC version of the Desktop Manager saved backups in *.ipd format
    2) Up until earlier this year the Mac version of the Desktop Manager saved backups in *.bbb format which was a zip file that contained the *.ipd file in it
    3) With the release of the Desktop Manager v7 (PC) the *.bbb file is now used by all backups, but is a new file format (Backup File Format v2) which is a zip file containing *.dat files
    So this is where I need some help. I am not a BlackBerry user myself, so I don't have access to any backups. Would anyone be willing to (privately) provide me with a sample *.bbb file (and matching *.ipd, if possible) to analyze? If possible, please comment below or send me a private message or email. All data would be kept strictly confidential and private.
    If someone from BlackBerry is reading this, do you have any technical information you can provide me regarding the *.bbb file format? Are there sample files that you could provide me?

    I am also looking for support for opening .BBB backup files. Have a 9360 curve, unable to open the .BBB file, edit the contacts and upload them back. In Nokia PC suite, its very user friendly, but Blackberry is very complicated. I was asked to download BB for desktop but it doesn't help read .BBB file as an excel sheet or move to MS Outlook and help edit. 
    I am not a software guy - so would need a slightly easier & user friendly advise that is easy to follow without too much tech jargon.

    Hi aliregman1986 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    BlackBerry smartphone backup files are only designed to be restored to a BlackBerry smartphone. To view the contents, you will have to use the BlackBerry Desktop Software to restore the file to your device or an alternate device.

  • .bbb file type

    A .bbb file type is used to back up my 8820 files.    I have Windows 7 operating system on my PC  which does not recognize this file type.  How do I open the back up files?

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    BB backup files (either BBB or IPD) are proprietary, intended solely as the source of restore to a BB device via the Desktop Software...no other function is native to them.
    However, there are 3rd party PC apps that have been known to parse and present the files in a usable format. A few seconds with Google and I'm sure you'll find something useful.
    Good luck!

  • Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

    Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
    However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
    What we found from out testing:
    - The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
    - The file can be closed and  Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
    - Also, until the  Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file. 
    Example Scenario:
    - User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
    - Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
    - User 1 saves his file and closes it - but  Dreamweaver is still open.
    - User 2 also saves his file and leaves  Dreamweaver  open.
    - The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
    - If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
    - Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
    Other information:
    - Files are opened directly from the server
    - Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
    - Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
    - The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
    - The users are usually working on the files all day
    - It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
    It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
    Anyone know if this is a known issue?
    Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
    Thanks

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

  • InDesign crashes every time you double click to open an .indd file on Windows system

    InDesign crashes every single time you double click to open an InDesign file and has done so since replacement of the original version of InDesign introduced in the Creative Cloud launch.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I'd say it was unique to my system if I hadn't experienced the issue repeatedly on several different systems now.  You have to relaunch InDesign which then opens the file from recovery, so it saw the file you tried to launch in the first place.  This leads me to believe the problem lies with the file association registry of InDesign inside Windows systems.  I find it unbelievable that this problem still exists and remains unreported and that a solution hasn't been implemented by Adobe to rectify the issue.
    The double click is a fundamental tenant of opening files on a Windows system in the same way a single click is on a Mac.  Does InDesign crash ever time a Mac user clicks to open their files, I think not.
    Anyone got any ideas other than the obvious which is Adobe actually got their figure out and fixed it.
    Cheers,
    Pat Doyle

    Hi Michael,
    I'll give it a go.  Don't really like messing with the registry on Windows boxes.  Yes you can do it, but it can end up being a case of the operation was a success, but the patient died.
    Just was rather hoping someone else had already experienced this problem and posted the registry tweak.  Didn't want spend hours reinventing the wheel.  Not because I'm lazy, but I have so many demands on my time that resolving a minor issue that effects me only seems like it should be pretty low priority.
    The system I'm using is brand new, but the problem seems to have followed me regardless which may indicate that it is seated in my synchronization information somehow.  Really don't know how that could happen as I'm not an Adobe engineer or have the remotest idea where to even start looking.  So I think I'll mark your suggestion as the "Answer" and just learn to live with it.
    Windows eh! Can't live with - can't live without it.  I'm sure Mac can be just as temperamental. Just have to chalk this one up as being just another ghost in the machine.
    Thanks for all the advice you have kindly offered, much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Pat Doyle

  • Is there a way to open the last file I used in InDesign/Illustrator/Photoshop when I open the app

    I want to create a shortcut (Win7) that will automatically open the last file I used in the above apps when I open the app. Is there a command line switch like /r or /l that does that?

    Thanks, your point is well taken... It would be nice, though, to have the ability to sort a "Last Used" column in iTunes and select a bunch of apps to remove in one shot.

  • Is there a way to open a .mst file created in the student edition with MULTISIM 9

    When a student builds a file with MultiSIM 9, the circuit is created as a .msm file.  When the student goes home to work, they can open a .msm file with a student version, 2001 for example, but any change to the file can only be saved as a .mst file.  As soon as the file is saved as a .mst file, we have not found a way to open the file with the educational version of MultiSIM 9.  Is there any way to convert these files?  This makes it very difficult for a student to work at home for a project between or prior to labs.
    Thanks

    JKR,
    Unfortunately, the ".mst" extension is supposed to be open only by Textbook editions of Multisim. Not even a Power Pro version would be able to open it.
    I'm not sure the specifics of your case, but I guess that you open/saved the circuit on your textbook edition and that converted the file extension, is that right?...
    Well, as far as I know the textbook editions are meant to be 'demo' type of releases, so is limited in many features. You should be OK with a Student edition though -- which is not the one commonly found in textbooks.
