Security Wipe and Outlook.co​m

Now since you cannot sync with Outlook I had no choice but to make a Outlook.com account.
If I ever have to do a Security Wipe would the real time (push/pull) to my Outlook.com account be wiped as well?
Solved!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I hope so! The WIPE is intended to remove all personal information from the device. The integration to Outlook.com has stored, on the BB, your credentials for Outlook.com...personal information that I would hope the WIPE actually would remove.
Anyway...I'm pretty sure it does...but have not myself actually tried it. But I know someone who has wiped their device, and I do believe that all of his email configurations were properly wiped from the device.
For peace of mind, you of course can try for yourself and validate.
Good luck!

  • Done a Security Wipe and now can't set up my email & BBM

    Hi
    I did a security wipe on my Blackberry. I cannot open my BBM, I cannot setup my Gmail.
    When i try to setup my email and BBM the "Blackberry ID Sign in" pops up on my phone.
    I enter my username and password, and it still appears to be incorrect. When i click on "forgot password" and enter the correct recovery question (wich is the correct password) the device indicates "your blackberry ID Password Recovery email has been sent to my email address".
    I havent recieved any "Recovery Email".
    How am i suppose to make use of my BBM or setup my Gmail on my phone when i cant even sign in with my Blackberry ID. I cannot reset my password beacuse i never recieved any "recovery emails" on my gmail. Please help!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please see this "sticky" post for helpful information concerning your BBID situation:

    Hopefully, this information will be of use to you. Note carefully please the sets of links discussing restrictions regarding the reset email...you must, for example, have separate access to that email account (e.g., from a PC) so as to receive and act upon the reset. Further, you need to be careful about SPAM or other filters you may have on that account.
    Cheers, and Good Luck!

    Hello noorenayat
    Relax, let the wipe process finish and connect it to the wall charger. There's wipe with more than 12 hours. It depends on data size.
    Also your phone number listed in your profile. It's not recommended as this is open forums and spammer may send junk messages to your phone. Edit it from My Setting at top left of this page and change to your carrier name.
    Good luck.

    Hey Tosin29188,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Are you able to locate this folder when accessing the media card from a PC or Mac?  Also are the pictures files renamed to a different extension? (For example: Picture.rem)
    Are you able to open the media files up on a computer?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • RE: Security Wipe...

    In light of some of the issues I've been having I decided to go forward with a security wipe and just reload the device and reconfigure bridging.  If I get back to the same point I was before with bridging not showing my emails but everything else, etc, I may just give up on the Playbook altogether.
    However, I find it interesting that when I performed the security wipe and started the setup again, it is redownloading and applying the 1.0.1.1710 OS?  I just think it's odd that the OS doesn't somehow get flashed into the device or get permanently used as the basis for a reconfig.  The warning stated that it'll blow away settings, files, applications - I guess the OS is being treated as an application in this case.
    Been a while since I've security wiped a BB phone - does it behave the same way with the version of the OS build it's running and go back to what it was out of the box?

    Yes, and no.,..on the handheld BlackBerry a security wipe does not wipe the operating system, just your personal information, data and preferences.
    When the device is wiped using something like JLCmder, you get et an "Error 507" which means no operating system is detected on the device. You must have the OS loaded and installed to your PC.
    Thanks for your info.. that is good to know. What you seem to have done is a security wipe and reset it to factory condition.

  • Power Macintosh 7200 to Mac Mini back up and secure wipe question

    Hi all, nearly figured this on my own but hope that someone here can fill in the gaps.
    I have a clunky old 7200/75/16 (no upgrade card, bog standard machine) I want to sell/give/dump.
    Before that, I need to back up the 500 MB HDD (hard to believe that was big once, now looking at a 500 GB HDD for the new machine!) and then secure wipe it.
    I've learned that I can get halfway there with a crossover cable and Apple Talk. So far, so good.
    Now, how about the secure wipe? I've had a look but I've not had any success in finding a how-to.
    I have a feeling I can't use Disk Utility in Leopard for this, but maybe I am wrong.
    Advice is sought from anyone here that can share their expertise on the best way to go.
    A cheap/free solution (that doesn't destroy the machine) would be welcomed!
    If relevant: I don't have the installer floppies for the 7200. I unwisely bought the machine without them but vaguely recall from an earlier Macintosh that Disk First Aid had some kind of format facility though I doubt it was far from secure by today's standards. I figure I can find a set of installer disks on eBay to get the 7200 operational again once I've completed this chore...

    I've learned that I can get halfway there with a crossover cable and Apple Talk.
    File sharing via AppleTalk cannot be used with the most modern operating systems. You should be able to use TCP/IP. A third-party program may be of interest. Also, see this article for some general information.
    Now, how about the secure wipe?
    One could use Drive Setup (a 1.7.3 version is available for download) for this. Under the Functions menu you will find Initialization Options, where "Zero all data" can be chosen. However, the program has to run from another disk (such as a bootable floppy). It is possible to create and modify a startup floppy on the 7200.
    A third-party application such as Wipe Info (part of Norton Utilities, commercial) or Burn 2.5 (freeware) could be used, too.
    If relevant: I don't have the installer floppies for the 7200.
    The Disk Tools PPC (here) is one thinkable startup floppy for the Power Macintosh computer in question. If necessary, a complete System 7.5.3 (e.g., the International English version here) can be downloaded from Apple.

  • How to do a security wipe if phone is stuck on start-up screen and your micro-usb port is also broken?

    Good day
    A week or so ago, my  phone just out of the blue decided that it would not initiate fully anymore.  It was laying on charge and when i took it off after an hour or so, it just stuck on the service provider's screen before saying "loading personal settings".  I was informed that my os needed to be reinstalled, the problem is, my usb port ion my phone is also broken.  I took the phone in to a repair guy, but he wants to ask me an idiotic price to fix it and says he is able to do so without using my usb port?  Is there any way you can wipe your Blackberry 8520 and reinstall an O.S if your usb port on the phone is broken?  Please, this is a matter of life and death as there are a hell of a load of contacts, documents and emails i would like to save, but if not able to, I can handle that too, just need the phone to work, it's of the highest importance!
    Thank you so much in advance.
    Juan 

    I take it that you do not have a recent back up of your phone's data?
    Try starting your 8520 in Safe Mode.
    Article ID: KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB17877
    If you can do that, you can get to the Security wipe function, but without a good USB port, I am not sure how you're going to load the OS. But try Safe Mode first.

  • Client Security Solution and Office 2010's Word and Outlook

    I purchased my system June 16, 2009 with Vista downgraded to XP Pro so I was not able to purchase a upgrade disk from Lenovo to upgrade to Win 7 (deadline was June 22). This week I purchased the Windows 7,retail  64 bit Home Premium upgrade package at a local store.
    I did the upgrade (clean install) Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium on my ThinkPad T400 type 2764-CTO. Also successfully installed all Win 7, 64 bit ThinkVantage software with System Update 4.
    I manually Installed the file z909zis1032us00.exe Client Security Solution 8.3 for Windows 7 (64-bit only) Version: 8.30.0032.00 Note: When upgrading from Windows XP To use TPM with Win 7 erase TPM in the BIOS configuration utility. In the Security and Security Chip menu, locate the option to clear the security device referred to as Security Chip and clear. If not done you can install but not use the program.
    Then I had this issue with Client Security - Password Manager version 8.30.00.32.00 and Office 2010's Word & Outlook. This was before I spotted a tread with the same issue between Password Manager 3.20.0320.00 and Office 2007.
    I noticed that whenever I run Word 2010 or Outlook in conjunction with Client Security SolutionI I could not select text. I could no longer use CSS because of it...
    I called Lenovo and was told that they do not support retail version of Win 7. (Remember they refuse to sell me their version a week earlier). Because I dint know what to do, I deactivated the TPM in Client Security and it solve the problem in both Word & Outlook.
    On the following automatic System Update at the Lenovo site the system pick up something was wrong with Client Security (it did not when the TPM was activated???) and offered to download and install "Client Security Solution Office 2007 Patch 64bit". I did and following installation I re activated the TPM. The problem in Word & Outlook was no longer there.
    Then on the next system update the system offered to download and install "Patch for IE crash with Password Manager (Win7) version 1.0". I had not experience that problem but downloaded and let the system install it anyway.
    So the problem is not restricted to version 8. 3.20.0320.00 and Office 2007 as reported in the other thread. Because the patch was automatically downloaded fron the web site (Client Security Solution Office 2007 Patch 64bit)  I do not know if it is the same patch the was offered in that thread.
    I hope this will help other people having the same problem.
    Claude

    Hi All,
    May i know the version of the CSS? Is it Windows 7 CSS 8.3 ? 32 bit or 64 bit? Would love to know more in detailed for i could report to the development team.
    Thanks!

  • Blackberry Protect and Security Wipe

    Hi! If you would like to turn off your BlackBerry Anti-theft on your device you can simply go to your Settings → BlackBerry AntiTheft and simply disable it from there. But if your device is running 10.3.2 OS then you will be asked to enter your BlackBerry ID credentials. Just enter your BlackBerry ID username and password and it will be disabled. Then to perform security wipe, I suggest back up your device first before doing so. Then when you have everything backed up go to Settings → Security and Privacy → Security Wipe It may take some time to wipe your device and expect that it needs more than 30% battery level to continue. So keep your battery charged and wait for the wipe to be completed. You may also see that your device will turn off and on a few times while performing security wipe. NOTE:To find what OS you're currently running, go to Settings → About → Tap Category → Select OS on the drop down list and check current OS. 10.3.2 OS update is very tight in security specially when your BlackBerry Anti-theft is turned on. When you perform a Security wipe, you will need to verify your BlackBerry ID credentials. Then you must enter your BlackBerry ID credentials again after security wipe. If you fail to enter your BlackBerry ID, then your device is forever locked out. This is the reason why I always advise to have t he Anti-theft turned off first. Good luck!

    Hello,
    If you are on 10.3.1 or earlier, there is no requirement to turn off Protect before a WIPE...the WIPE will remove the association between your BB device and all BB proprietary services, including Protect.
    However, if you are on 10.3.2, then indeed you need to first turn off Protect before you initiate the WIPE. Refer:Article ID: KB36737 BlackBerry Protect Anti-theft ProtectionGood luck!

  • I use a Win7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my calendar and contacts. I can enter data in my Outlook Calendar and it will appear in iCloud, but data entered in iCloud does not sync back to Outlook.  ICloud syncs to my iphone fine both ways.

    I use Win 7 PC with iCloud and Outlook 2010 for syncing my Contacts and Calendar.  They have stopped syncing...mostly.
    Now, appointments I enter on my local Outlook (iCloud) Calendar goes up to iCloud fine.  But, data I enter on iCloud directly does not come down to my local Outlook iCloud Calendar.  If I reboot the computer, the iCloud data shows up.
    Also, Contacts I try to enter on my Outlook (iCloud) Contacts goes up to iCloud fine, but does not show up in my local iCloud Contacts.
    All syncing works with my iPhone.
    I have signed out of iCloud on PC.  I have stopped syncing and re-started.  No change.
    I have an .aplzod folder for iCloud.  I have a separate Earthlink.net.pst email account in Outlook and a me.com.pst Outlook email account (which I don't actually use) listed under Data Files.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Curious that Outlook will upload to iCloud but not receive downloads unless I reboot.  However, rebooting does not download the missing Contacts.
    Jim Robbins

    Hi Jim!
    You've started off with some good troubleshooting steps, so let's see if we can take this a little further and figure out what the issue is with your iCloud contacts and calendars. I have two articles here that will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further, but the troubleshooting steps for both articles are exactly the same, so I will lay those out for you here:
    Note: When using iCloud Control Panel 2.0 and later, iCloud Calendar event descriptions in Outlook 2010 do not support text formatting (bold, italics, or underline), HTML, images, or attachments. The contextual (right-click) menu has also been disabled.
    If you are having trouble with a PC (with Outlook 2007 or 2010) and iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
    Verify that you are using a Windows configuration that is supported by iCloud. For more information, see iCloud system requirements.
    When enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel, part of the setup process is to copy your Calendars data from the default Outlook ".pst" file to iCloud, and then remove the Calendars from the ".pst" file by placing them in the Deleted Items folder in Outlook. The Calendars data is then stored in the iCloud data set within Outlook so that changes can be pushed to and from Outlook by iCloud. Be sure you are looking for your data within the iCloud dataset within Outlook after enabling Calendars in the iCloud Control Panel. The deleted files can be seen by viewing Deleted Items within your Outlook Folder List. This is not iCloud removing your data; iCloud simply copies your data into the iCloud data set and then removes the local Calendars data by placing it in the Deleted Items folder.
    Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in Outlook. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Open a secure website to test if you are online as is necessary for iCloud Calendar. This also tests if the ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Outlook requires port 443 access to iCloud in order to push and pull updates to and from the iCloud Calendar servers.
    Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Control Panel pane. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on Windows.
    Completely close and reopen the iCloud Control Panel.
    If you recently made changes in Outlook and they are not moving to your other devices or vice-versa, click the Refresh button in Outlook.
    Turn iCloud Calendar off and back on:
    Close Outlook.
    Open the Windows Control Panel:
    In Windows 8, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
    In Windows 7 and Vista, choose Start menu > All Programs > iCloud > iCloud.
    Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Mail, Contacts, Calendars & Tasks, and click Apply. Wait a few seconds, then replace the checkmark, and click Apply.
    Open Outlook and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
    Ensure the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active within Outlook.
    Outlook 2010:
    Open Outlook 2010.
    Click the File menu.
    Click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window.
    Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
    For Outlook 2007, follow these steps to verify the iCloud Outlook Add-in is active
    Open Outlook 2007.
    From the Tools menu, choose Trust Center.
    Select Add-ins from the left column.
    Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" and verify that the "iCloud Outlook Add-in" is listed.
    For additional information about managing Add-ins with Microsoft Outlook, see this Microsoft support document.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

  • How Do You Securely Wipe All Info Off Internal Hard Drive?

    A friend has to ship her new iMac back to Apple for a replacement -- long story.
    But before she ships it off she wants to wipe the internal hard drive of all her personal info -- mail, photos, music, documents, ...
    What's the best way to securely wipe that internal drive?

    you can do it using the erase tab in disk utility. there is an option to erase securely. it writes zeros over everything on the drive. do just one zero erase pass. disk utility lets you choose multiple erase passes but that's a vast overkill.
    to do it to an internal drive boot from the snow leopard dvd and use disk utility there to erase the drive. when done restart and hold option at the chime. this will boot you into startup disk manager. eject the isntall dvd there and shut down.

  • Desktop Manager Not Working After Security Wipe

    I had to do a security wipe on my Tour to fix a problem I was having with the Bluetooth on my phone (which surpisingly worked!).  However, now when I try to sync my phone with my computer, Desktop Manager has a problem.  When the program gets to synching my calendar, Desktop Manager stops working.  The screen goes white, and I get a message saying that it has stopped working.  I tried clicking the Debug button, but it didn't do or tell me anything.  It seems to fail when it gets to item 26 of 191 in my calendar (from the status bar that appears when synching), but I have no idea what that item is.  Any ideas as to why this is now happening or how I get figure out what calendar item might be causing the problem?  Thanks.

  • Intermittent proxy error "There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server "

    Hi all,
    From time to time (at least once a day), the following message pops up on the user's screen:
    "There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate. Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server . Error Code 80000000)."
    If we click "OK" it goes away and everything continues to work although sometimes Outlook disconnects. It is quite annoying...
    Any ideas?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi,
    For the security alert issue, I'd like to recommend you check the name in the alert windows, and confirm if the name is in your certificate.
    Additionally, to narrow down the cause, when the Outlook client cannot connect again, I recommand you firstly check the connectivity by using Test E-mail AutoConfiguration. For more information, you can refe to the following article:
