N73 - Restore from Memory card option missing afte...

Hello,
I re-installed the software on my N73 today morning as it had become slow. Before doing this, I backed up all my important data into the memory card.
After installation, when I tried to restore the data, I found that the "Restore from Memory Card" option is no longer available on the menu list!!! The only options currently available are
Remove mem card
Backup phone mem
Format mem card
Set Password
Memory details
Help and
Exit.
I removed the battery, removed the memory card, restarted the phone, but nothing works!!!
Someone help me in resolving this problem pls. All my valuable data is in the memory card.

Still no clue what happened.. But could not wait for miracles to happen anymore.. Rebuit the phone. Fortunately 99% of data / apps I need could be resynched from Outlook..

N76 - Restore from memory card

Hi all
I dropped my old N76 and knackered the battery housing so I went out and bought a replacement new N76 handset. I backed up all the data from the old phone onto the memory card. I then inserted the memory card into the new N76 and performed a "restore from memory card".. And now I am getting a "phone start up failed contact the retailer".. Is there anyway I can get this phone working again without taking it to the retailer?
Why did this happen in the first instance?

I love my N76

I take it all back. I don't think it has anthing to do with firmware versions. Before I updated the firmware on the old phone a few months back, I did a phone back-up to the memory card, I then downloaded and installed the latest firmware, then restarted the phone and restored from memory card. It all worked fine. The backup was created on a older FW version and restored on a newer FW version, so if it worked fine then, it should now too.
I think it may have something to do with the product code. The old phone has code of 0550463 and the other handset is 0550284. But surely, that shouldn't make a difference? I don't see why it should matter?
I thinks I am missing something here..

HT1766 I've just purchased an Iphone 5c. I have chosen the restore from iCloud and the phone has now restarted to complete the restore. It has been 3 hours and the progress bar has not moved.

If all you want is your old photos, you could backup your new phone using iTunes, then restore it from your iCloud backup, import the old photos to your computer, then restore it from the backup your made in iTunes returning your newer data to your phone. If you want your old photos on your phone, sync them there from your computer using iTunes. The process would look like this:
Connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases; right-click again and select Backup.
Disconnect from your computer and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to return it to new
Go through the activation setup, choosing to Restore from iCloud backup. Make sure your phone is plugged into a charger and has access to wi-fi as this can take hours to complete.
When complete, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Now import the old photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
When done, open iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose the backup you made in step 1.
Go to the Photos tab and select the photos you want to sync to your phone and sync.

Transfer of msgs from mem card to phone mem

I purchased an 8gb card and i want to transfer msgs from my old card to new one.
So how do i do that?
Firstly how do i transfer msgs from my old mem card to phone mem?
IF YOU FIND POSTS HELPFUL HIT THE BIG GREEN BOX TO THE LEFT WITH THE WHITE STAR IN IT THANKS

Take a backup of messages on PC using Nokia suite. Repalce the card and restore messages...
For transfering these messages to Phone memory you may follow the same procedure but change the settings : Messaging -> Options -> Settings -> Other -> Memory in use: change from "Memory card" to "Phone memory" and perform the operation of restore without putting in the new memory card...
If you find this to your satisfaction, pl. hit the Green star..

Transfer Phone numbers from SIM card to phone

Is it possible to transfer Phone numbers from the SIM card to phone, in the NOKIA 6070?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

"Search for the contact you want to copy, and select Options > Copy. You can copy names and phone numbers
from the phone contact memory to the SIM card memory, or vice versa. The SIM card memory can save names
with one phone number attached to them."

HT201269 how do i restore from iCloud on new phone?

I have a new 4s that I got from the AT&T store.
They got me up and running by getting my contacts downloaded.
Now I've hooked up to iPhone to restore from iCloud.
Do I want to restore or do I want to back up?
I can't figure out how to get my music to migrate to my new phone.
I have backed up my old phone to the cloud.
I don't seem to be getting the automatic prompts all the articles talk about and I think it's because at the store they only did contacts.

If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

Restoring from backup or new phone?

When doing a restore what is the difference between restoring from a backup or new phone? Is there an advantage one way or the other?

The backup for your iPhone that is created and maintained by iTunes, stores all your iPhone settings, SMS messages, recent calls, call favorites, notes created with the Notes application, alarms, cities tracked with the weather widget, stocks tracked with the stocks widget, Maps bookmarks, youtube bookmarks, etc., and photos captured by your iPhone - but I wouldn't depend on this one. Photos captured by your iPhone should be imported to your computer as with any other digital camera. Basically the backup stores all data not included with the iTunes sync process.
If you Restore as a new iPhone, or not from your iPhone's backup, you lose all settings, and all other data stored with the backup.
Your iPhone's backup is updated if needed as part of the sync process - the very first step during the sync process. If you want or need to restore your iPhone, and you want to do this from your iPhone's backup, you should sync immediately before restoring to update your iPhone's backup if needed.

Can I use Restore From Memory Card to clone E72

Hi
I have two E72s, both have the exact same firmware 091.004. Can I use the "Back Up phone Memory" feature to transfer everything (apps + settings + data) from one E72 to another? I just want to switch to another E72 this way:
1. On the 1st E72, back up phone memory using File Manager.
2. Move the SIM card and memory card from the 1st E72 to the 2nd one.
3. On the 2nd E72, restore phone memory from the backup on the memory card using File Manager.
Will it allow me to clone everything (like an image) to another E72? Is it officially supported?
I tried once, some things were missing such as Opera Mini not found, Nokia Evolve theme not enabled, profile settings not applied etc.
Is there a way to clone everything to another E72?
Thanks heaps.

Cannot restore from memory card

Hi all
I have had a lot of problems with my phone and decided to do a hard reset. I wasn't able to back up all my information via PC Suite as the connection kept going, so I backed it all up to my memory card. The phone is now working OK (including connecting to PC Suite) but I can't see the option to restore the information (calendar and contacts) from my memory card to my phone. I know it should be in File Manager, Memory Card, Options, but the option simply isn't there- I can either remove my memory card, or back up my phone to the memory card which as it has no information on it I don't want to do!
Any ideas please?
Thank you

Hi DRMOO,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums!
You did not mention the phone model you are using, so I cannot give you any specific instructions. Have you checked your memory card for a folder titled "backup" or similar? Contents of the folder may be hidden on your phone's file manager, but you should be able to see the backup file if you connect the phone to your computer in mass memory mode. If the folder does not exist or it is indeed empty, it is possible that your backup was not successful and your data is lost.
Let us know how you get on,

How do I transfer music/pictures from SD card to phone memory?

I have an Incredible with a 4gb micro sd card. I just got a 16-gig card, so I want to save all my files from the 4gb card to the phone, then from the phone to the 16gb card.
Is there any way to do this? I looked everywhere and for the life of me, I couldn't find how to do this. I looked all through my songs, then all through my pictures, and found no way to seem to change where it is saved. I also have ASTRO file manager, but that didn't seem to help either. I could only navigate up one step above my micro sd card, and once I copied the file/folder, there seemed to be nowhere to paste it. And ASTRO won't allow me to utilize half the functions it seems to offer!
Shouldn't it be as simple as finding the file, going to a menu, and choosing to copy/move it elsewhere?

The best option would be to connect the phone via pc and transfer them to the pc. Then insert the new sd and transfer them back. Currently, also have not ran across away to save to internal memory. Hope this alternative helps.

How to move an app from sd card to phone memory

I use BlackBerry z10. When I install some app,but it automatically saved into sd card. So I cannot run the app. How can I move the app? Or how can I set the setting so every time I install an app,it would only go to my phone memory?

How are you installing the app ?.
Apps will only install on the phone, the sd card can only store media and files.
Android apps (apk) have to be sideloaded.

Transferring contacts from SIM card to phone

I'd like to transfer all my old mobile phone contacts from my SIM onto the phone or onto my google contacts. The only way I can see of doing this is manually, which would take many hours of typing.
Also, has anyone worked out how to get in contact with Palm directly? I've tried the 'live chat' in the support thing but either it doesn't work or noone answers. I love my PalmPre but find the O2 and Palm 'helpdesks' unknowledgeable and uncontactable respectively, so would appreciate any help with this.
Thanks in advance!

Glad you got it sorted but that would have been the the most obvious thing to do in the first place.
BTW you can also copy them all to memory card too, good to have them backed up there as well.

Clearing out personal info from sim card sold phone on ebay

I cleared out all my info once on my iphone, but I need to remember how to do it again. I sold the phone,and and I want to clear all personal info, Note pad, passwords, contacts etc;
How do I do it?
Thank you

The iPhone store no data on the sim card. To clear all data from the phone itself: Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content & Settings. If any model phone other than a 3GS or iPhone 4, plug the phone into a wall outlet first, as this can take several hours. On a 3GS or iPhone 4, it takes but a minute or two.
