Selling my BB 8120, What precautions should I take

Is it safe to leave your Sim card in the phone when selling it?
This BB is from the CBW  Cincinnati Bell Wireless network.
Will it work on other networks?
Thanks in advance,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Pete

Go to Solution.

No, remove the SIM card. Keep it or trash it. You could have some contacts saved on it or whatever, but it is not needed by the new owner regardless.
1. Before selling, ask your carrier CBW to remove the device PIN from your BIS account. Without doing this, it will not be usable to another user.
2. Do a backup of your old device using Desktop Manager. You never know when you might need that data.
3. Do a wipe on the device at Options > Security > General Settings > Wipe Handheld.

  • What precautions should I take before upgrading to iDVD 06 (and iLife 06)?

    I have read a few people's experiences on this site about problems encountered after upgrading to iLife 06. I am about to do this and wondered what how I should go about backing up my iDVD and iMovie 5 half-completed projects in case they don't work properly in version 6.
    Will a half-completed iDVD 05 project seemlessly covert to iDvd 6 after installation or should I complete it in 5 before upgrading? If I should go ahead and upgrade, in case there are problems, how do I back up my projects in case I need to reinstall iLife 5 to work on them again?
    Thanks in advance

    Also, I forgot to mention, I had read that not all the themes that are accessible in iDvd 5 are accessible in iDvd 6 - is this true? If so, what happens if I have used one in my half-completed projects?

  • What precautions should I take before replacing ram

    I still have original RAM in my G5, but have just received 2 x 1GB replacements. Do I need to take any precautions before replacing the RAM?

    To prevent static electricity buildup, good idea not to do it on a very low humidity day. Humid day would be the best. Touch the Mac's metal chassis before installing or going near the RAM. Maybe overkill, but I use an anti-static wrist strap with one end clipped to the chassis or outside metal frame of the computer. If you're in the US, I think Radio Shack might still have them, although I bought mine back in 2008.

  • I have 2 yr old Iphone 4 and have not backed up or connected to Itunes or backed up for 1 yr. I have new computer and want to connect and copy Itunes folder from external HD to new computer and install Itunes. What steps should I take and what precautions

    I have a 2 yr old Iphone 4 and have not backed up or connected to Itunes up for 1 yr. I have new Windows 7 computer and want to connect and copy Itunes backed up folder from external HD (a year ago) to new computer and install new Itunes and new IOS. What steps should I take and what precautions? I don't want to lose any data on my phone such as music, photos, contacts, notes, texts etc, nor lose music from prior backed up Itune folder. Apps should be OK from app store? Thanks for any help.

  • What resolution should i take for a movie to be played on 70X20 LED display?

    I am working on an animated video that will be played on 70X20 Feet LED display. What resolution should i take?

    size of the screen is 80640 X 23040 (in pixels)
    You are going to need a monster to playback something like that. Are you sure? The max comp size in AE is 30,000 pixels. Your specs claim a requirement for 80,640 which is about 20 4K displays.
    The data rate for a comp that is 42 times wider than HD would be crazy and probably require an array of high end server grade machines and fiber optics to push even 20 fps video through the system.
    As I said before, you MUST contact the manufacturer for their exact media specifications.

    What video format (including embedded audio) is able to be viewed and heard by both OSX Lion users and Windows users?
    You have to make a distinction between the container format (eg, AVI, MKV) and the video/audio format (eg, DIVX). For instance, without additional software, QuickTime can play .avi files with the IndeoVideo codec, but not .avi file with the DivX codec). Further, you have to make the distinction between what can be played using an independent player, eg, QuickTime Player, and what can be played within the presentation software (Keynote or PowerPoint).
    You can refer to
    <http://mac2.microsoft.com/help/office/14/da-dk/powerpoint/item/7acce321-36fb-48d 6-8c76-12cb3a0063ee>
    for suggestions. In practice, for presentation clips, I think you're limited to MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. I don't know if an additional MPEG-2 QuickTime component is required under Lion, you'll have to check that yourself. So, in the end, it's MPEG-4. Both Keynote and PowerPoint Win/Mac should be able to handle it.
    can anyone suggest a safe application that I can purchase from the apple app store that will allow me to convert video files
    What's a 'safe application'? And why do you have to buy it from the App Store (yuck!)?
    Handbrake, as mentioned by X423424X, is free and works very well. There are probably others, too.
    this forum is the best place to learn
    Perhaps, but it may not be the place to get answers to this question. Try a PowerPoint Mac user forum, they would have more experience in these x-platform issues. This forum is oriented more towards the hardware side of the MBP platform.

  • HT1725 i recently downloaded an album from itunes but 5 of the songs won't completely play through when i try to listen to them. i don't know if the song files are damaged or what but what action should i take to repair the files or get my money back?

    i recently downloaded an album from itunes and from what it appeared, everything completely downloaded, but 5 of the songs won't completely play through when i want to listen to them. i don't know if the song files are damaged or what. what actions should i take to either repair the files or get my money back from itunes?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Mac mini is running slow what steps should I take to determine what's slowing it down?  New to MAC

    My Mac mini is running very slow, I suspect it is a software problem.  I'm new to Mac and would appreciate some suggestions on what steps to take.

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • My DVD-ROM drive does not work -- what steps should I take?

    MacBook Pro, a couple of years old. Was used by an employee for 2 years, now have it at home and found that the DVD-ROM drive does nothing when I insert a disc.
    What I really would like to know is what are the first steps with this. I don't want to send the machine somewhere. Should I just get a cheap external? Could it be software?

    If by Does nothing you mean it doesn't even pull in the disk. That sound slike hardware not software.
    I imagine it is out of warranty? If it is covered take it to be repaired in a mac store. If not I personally would opt for an external as the cost would be much more appealing. But doesn't hurt to inquire about the cost for having a new internal, or even fixing your current one.
    But for my money I would opt for external.

  • I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube,some of the photo near the beginning was corrupted.What steps should I take to export iMovie for youtube?

    I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube, some of the photo near the beginning were corrupted on youtube. I tried a different photo, and the corruption took place at the same moment of the video. How do I prepare the video for export to get it ready for youtube? I wasn't sure whether to clik web or web streaming. Am I supposed to clik Quick Time after I clik Share?

    I unfortunately cannot remember where I got the 'trrndlines' plugin... I assume that it must have been from CFX (as it is located under /Users/Dom/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins/cfx/XXXtrrndlines.bundle).
    As for what it does, I also do not know, as I do not think I ever used it in my previous video projects.
    At this stage, I think I just need to uninstall it so that iMovie doesnt try to use it.
    Do you know how to uninstall a CFX plugin in iMovie?
    NOTE: I have re-installed iMovie 6.0.4 (instead of iMovie 6.0.3), but still encounter the same issue.

  • What actions should I take after seeing this script running @ startup today?  "ARDAgent\" to do shell script \"say quack\"'"

    STEPS TAKEN:
    Logged into Mac for first time today.
    Noticed a new individual file in Directory Library ".a.text". (Settings disply hidden system file/folders)
    File contained only the text "--purge".
    Meta data on file directed source to bash process run @ startup.
    Attached History command output.
    Disabled ARD for now.
    SETTINGS:
    All Sharing was Off. 
    Firewall was set to Block All Incoming Connections.
    Home network with no other active users at time.
    Upgraded to Mavs 10.9.2 last night.
    Do not use any file sharing or remote access into Mac.
    The SSH host attempts were my old Amazon EC2 instances.
    Appears to start bitcoin app and few databases.
    Worth noting I've been having tons of various issues last few months.

    I'm extremely unclear on exactly what's happening. You mention something about a script running at startup in your subject, but then never mention that again. What's going on there? Where are you finding that script?
    That script would suggest someone playing a joke on you, by making your computer say "quack" every time you start up. That's not indicative of malware.
    On the other hand, a hidden file as you describe is a common malware trick, though I'm not sure why it would only contain "--purge" - that isn't a complete command, as far as I know, and the purge command isn't likely to be used for malicious purposes anyway.
    Still, you do have some indication that you're using Bitcoin-related apps, and there has been some Bitcoin malware that has appeared recently. See:
    New CoinThief malware discovered
    Note that the post on MacRumors that you refer to in your second post is almost six years old, and references a vulnerability that was closed later in 2008. It's completely irrelevant to any modern system.
