PIN on a 8700c? Can't get to first base with my new but ancient Blackberry.

I have a pay-as-you-go account from Telmex (in Mexico) which I use very infrequently. However, on the rare instances that I have to reply to a text message, I find using a numeric pad really tedious. I had read that Blackberries have a physically usable keyboard, even for people with larger hands, so I found on ebay a Cingular Electron 8700c for $30. My problem is that when I put in my Telmex SIM, it requested my password. I tried a few times, all failing. It is now up to an ominous attempt labelled 4/6. I bought the phone from a serious ebay vender with a rare 100% positive feedback, and he claimed it was unlocked from Cingular, and that is most likely true. When I first got my SIM from Telmex and put it in my Nokia 6126, which is also an unlocked Cingular phone, it did not request a password, and functioned from the get-go. So I have the following questions:
1) If I fail to get the right password on the sixth attempt, will the Blackberry explode and level my apartment?
2) Is this password located on my Telmex SIM chip or on the wired telephone memory?
3) Any recommendations how to solve this problem?
For anyone kind enough to help, please remember that I am a total Blackberry **bleep** and reply accordingly. I did however download the pdf manual for this model.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You should be able to disable the password on the device if you want. If it doesn't allow you to disable the password and/or there is a small lock on it not allowing you to disable it then you likely have a device that was connected to a corporate server and has a leftover IT policy on it.

I can't get to first base with editing a file?

i just signed on to yesteerday and still can't get to first base editing a file

Editing a PDF file? Keep in mind that PDF (the file format / technology) is decidedly *not* a word processing or page layout file format.
Word processor like editing of layout, style, content, etc. is not something PDF supports.
(See ISO 32000-1, the ISO Standard for PDF.)
Minor touchups are tolerated and Acrobat XI is currently the best "tool" for this.
Be well...

My printer is a fairly new all-in-one Brother MFC-7860 DW. It is not listed in the iPad AirPrint printers. Can I get it to work with my new iPad2?

If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you can not natively through your iPad. BUT, there are apps you can purchase in the App Store, like Print Central ($9), which is what I use myself and works well for my needs.

Can't get to first base using undo and redo

Hi folks:
I'm trying to add undo and redo capabilities to a small application I'm writing with Swing, but I can't get to first base. When I try to establish an undo object like this:
final UndoManager undo = new UndoManager();
I get two "cannot resolve symbol" errors on the line.
Is there some library I'm not importing? What gives?
Thanks

Is there some library I'm not importing?Probably. Look in the API for UndoManager. It will tell you what package to import.

Help me please! I can't get on the internet with my new phone

Can someone please help me. I purchased my Blackberry Pearl from an on-line seller and it was suposed to be new. The problem comes when I try to set up my e-mail account....I go to my e-mail set-up option and the only one that it gives me is " I want to use a work e-mail account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server" . Obviously I do not want to do this but I have no other options. I can either hit close or next and next ask me for a password from my Enterprise Server administrator. I contacted Verizon and after much run around they finally told me that this phone was connected to another Blackberry account. I don't know if they really knew what they were talking about or if they just did not want to really help me because I did not upgrade my account and buy my phone from them. It sounds to me like they are trying to say the phone is stolen since they are saying that it is connected with another Blackberry account but if that were the case then Verizon would no be able to activate the phone and I can get it activated and make and receive calls but I cannot get on the internet with it. What good is a smart phone if you can't do everything it is supposed to do?

Hello,
Actually, what they told you is accurate. BIS accounts are what enable additional services (including Personal email). BIS accounts are all managed by the carriers. One BB, as defined by it's unique PIN, can have only one BIS account on one carrier in the world. If a BIS account exists somewhere else for a specific BB, then a carrier cannot create another account for it. That is the way it works. One of the reasons is of course to prevent the use of stolen items. That's not the only reason, but it's all irrelevant...if a BIS account exists somewhere for that BB, VZW cannot create one for it.
What you need to do is to contact the seller and hope they are reputable. They need to contact their carrier and have that BIS account shut down. Only then might VZW be able to create a BIS account for you.
Good luck!

I can't get into I Cloud with my new Apple ID

I can't even get into I Cloud settings on my phone. My I phone keeps pulling up the old Apple ID and asking for that password. 1) the old ID should be deleted and 2) It doesn't recognize the old password. How do I fix this?

I had two Apple IDs. I had used them both but there seemed to be a primary one which was my work email. I wanted to get rid of that. I was at the Apple Store for a repair on my phone so she put me on the line with customer support and after some wrangling they agreed to delete my work email Apple ID. I was able to update Itunes for the current Apple ID but when I try to do this on my phone and get into ICloud to change the settings it brings up the deleted Apple ID and asks me for my password. The old password doesn't work and so now I am stuck. On the other hand I was able to back up to Icloud with my new Apple ID from my laptop but I am not sure that worked. I clicked back up to I Cloud from my laptop and it seemed to be doing it. I am confused and don't know what is where.

If my battery life is getting lower and lower, can I get my iPod replaced with a new one with the guaranty?

Bought my iPod 10months ago, now the battery life is really bad!!! I need to know if I can get it replaced with the guaranty! Thanks :)

I'd make an appointment at your local apple store, have them check it out and see what they say. If they determine that it's a manufacturer's defect then they may replace it.
In case they do, I'd do a full sync and backup before you take it in.

Can I get rid of Exchange with the new Server just released?

Hi, I saw the new 8 core machine and all the programs. I also recieved an email from Apple telling me about all the calendaring it has.
I want to get rid of Exchange. I have Outlook on 99.9% the clients, however, and they're not going to get rid of Windows or Office any time soon. Will the new server just released and the server software do Exchange server calendaring, scheduling, etc. just like (or better) than Exchange does?
Thanks.

iCalServer uses the new standard CalDAV protocol for calendaring. Exchange uses MS's own proprietary protocols - we do not have those implemented in iCalServer. As a result your existing Outlook users can't use iCalServer right now.
The good news is that there is at least one group working on a plugin for Outlook that will enable access to iCalServer. Whilst this is still alpha quality right now progress is being made, and hopefully in the near future thee will be something usable. See <http://openconnector.org>.

Can't get on the internet with my new Imac.

My new Imac arrived yesterday. It has Tiger installed and a Leopard disk in the box. I had already downloaded my usb broadband modem's drivers for Tiger 10.4.5 from my Isp and thought it would be a simple matter to install them. No chance! They won't work. It's running Tiger 10.4.10. The modem doesn't sync up and the computer says it doesn't exist. Then I had the bright idea of upgrading to Leopard and using Boot Camp to install Windows XP. Big mistake! I've only got an ancient XP upgrade disk and you need a full SP2 one. But of course I didn't find that out untill I'd put the disk in the superdrive. So now it's stuck in there. Every time I switch the computer on it just boots into the windows setup. Pressing F3 just reboots it into Windows setup. Does anybody know how I can get that cd out of my drive? And how do I get on the internet? My usb modem and it's driver works fine on an old powerbook running Panther.

Hello again Nevertheless,
Probably! - Possibly! Almost certainly! Hmmm...
Belkin equipment has caused more problems than it had solved ( in my experience only )
Netgear equipment has solved all the problems I have, so far, encountered.

On the back button is the little drop down arrow completely gone, or is there a way I can I get it back. With the new Firefox I have to keep hitting back over and over again?

Is the back button drop down arrow replaced by the little arrow next to the star on the bar?
Maybe it didn't install correctly, I have Windows XP if that makes a difference. I know from the tour when the new one loaded there is supposed to be a bookmarks thing next to the new location for home but it's not on there either. It's still on my toolbar so I don't care enough to fix it so there is no need for anyone to address it, I just put the info in case it tells you something about it not installing properly.
Sorry, it's not easy for older people to keep up with all the daily website changes, adding browser changes adds to the confusion. I hope my head doesn't explode one day. Thank you for the help.

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

Can anyone get Aperture to work with a new Canon 60D?

I am using version 2.1.4 but dont want to upgrade to V3 unless I really really have to. Help!

The support for RAW files must be revesed engineered because the camera companys don't share that information with either Adobe or Apple. So when a camera is released has very little to do with when they are supported. It is more a matter of how many changes were made in the new model. If most of the stuff for the old model only needs to be slightly modified then it quick. If on the otherhand it a total rewrite then it can take some time to get it supported.

How can I get data (not wifi) with my new iPad in Iceland. Thanks

How? If I can can't find a wifi spot?

I assume that you need to find a cellular provider for your iPad. See if this is what you need.

You can download a free application that will take your music from your iPhone and place it onto your Macintosh HD.
One of these should suit your needs:

How can I get all users associated with my VSO

I see here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/integrate/api/shared/profiles that I can get my profile info from the API, but can I get all users associated with an account?

Hello!
If you want to see all of that in a single mailbox, you can create a Smart Mailbox from the "file" menu in the top left corner of your screen. It's a bit of trial and error before you get the rules correct, perhaps, but that will work.
