& so, the trouble begin ... bold 9900 backup restore to z10 ?

Very excited as my z10 has arrived!
The z10 uses Link instead of Desktop.  I backed my bold 9900 before this arrived.  How do I get that restored to the z10 so I can get my contacts etc. back?
Of course, pre-order the tech is like.. oh no problem, just switch your sim card & it will all be there but .. it's not SO.. 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If that doesn't work, try restoring the back up to your 9900...   Then power up both phones, pair them to one another in Bluetooth mode, then transfer your contacts via Bluetooth.. 
or you could also try...
Try doing a device switch using the media card. Go to Setup on the old device and then go to Device Switch. It will make a full backup of the old device on the media card. Then put the media card in the Z10 and go to the Setup App  and click on Device Switch to transfer the old data to the new phone.

  • I sold my iPhone4, and I need to restore it before shipping it. The buyer has asked that I don't install iOS6. Is this possible? Does the restore process force iOS6 onto the phone? Before I backup/restore it, it has iOS5.1.1 installed.

  • Can't restore Bold 9900 backup to Q10

    I bought a Q10 and want to transfer data from my Bold 9900. I don't have the 9900 any more, but do have a backup on my PC. I follow the instructions from BlackBerry Link on how to restore from this backup, but they don't work. These are the instructions.
    On your computer, open BlackBerry Link.
    At the side of the BlackBerry Link window, click your device.
    Click Back Up & Restore.
    Click Restore Device.
    Do one of the following:
    To restore all the data in a backup file to your device, click a backup file.
    To restore specific data in a backup file to your device, click a backup file. Clear the Restore all data checkbox. Select the checkbox beside one or more databases that you want to restore.
    To restore data from a backup file that is not listed, click [change folder icon]. Navigate to the .bbb file or .ipd file. Click OK.
    Click Restore.
    All is fine up to step 4. Then I automatically get a list of backup files from the "legacy device". However, (a) none of those files will open--I get an error message "Unable to open the back up file"the backup file" and (b) The particular backup file I want to use is not listed anyway and the instruction in 5, bullet point 3 does not work. It is impossible to use the change folder icon to find a file to restore FROM as it only allows me to navigate to a folder to restore data TO. So how to I navigate to the file I want and restore from it? The backup I want to use, by the way, is a .bbb file from 2013.
    Very frustrating, as I have a lot of data--passwords in particular--I want back. Thanks for help!

    In Link, you will click on Restore and in the window showing the data to be restored, you will then click on "restore from legacy device data"

  • SAP SQL System Copy backup restore method with ADS(Adobe document services)

    Hello all,
    i´m preparing a system copy with ERP 6.0 in windows and SQL server with ADS.
    I have a doubt, can i do the System Copy backup/restore method with ADS??
    or the only method that works is with system export/import in all instances??
    Thank you

    Hi Oscar,
    Is your ADS system separate from your ERP system, or are they on the same server?
    In any case, you can use backup/restore to copy a Java system, but you must also make a system export/import for the Java server components.  The two work in conjunction, so that the export tool doesn't export your whole database, only the components maintained in the filesystem.  If you select the database detach/attach or backup/restore method in the tool when going against the Java system, it will prompt you at the right point in the process to make your Java export as well.
    The caveat is that the Java export requires downtime, so it isn't possible to copy a Java system without impacting system availability, as it is with a pure ABAP system.
    Best regards,
    Matt

  • Backup/Restore won't reload third part applications, why?

    This completely doesn't make sense to me. What is the use of having a backup/restore function if the entire device is not actually backed up and restored? Apparently this is just the databases? Well, what good are some of the databases, if the restore feature isn't restoring the applications that use those databases? This seems liek such an utterly useless feature without the applications.
    There is even an option when choosing Reload Device Software, saying backup and restore third party applications, yet this only seems applicable when completely reloading the device software, and not when attempting to transfer from one failed blackberry to a new one.
    The applications are even in a folder on my computer, yet I cannot install them to the device. How can I install these?

  • Battery bold 9900

    I've JUST bought the new blackberry bold 9900, and in the 2nd day of use the battery was complety "red" 2 times BEFORE 6pm!!!!!!!! What should i do!!?!

    I have had my Bold 9900 for two weeks now and came across this post.
    Basically, you have to go to your network connections, then mobile network, and switch from3g/H+ & 2G to just 3G/H+ or 2G. Your battery will last you 10x more.
    The battery drains because it's faster internet connection, and if you have other apps running like Facebook or Twitter, or games, or even your little security vault, you need to close them down, and keep the apps you are using, running. Some apps like your texts, phone call, and BBM will always be running, but just hold your menu key down and close the other apps down. That will also save you. You only use the 3G/H+ & 2G if you need to google something, or get quick access to your browser.

  • PC WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE bb bOLD 9900

    i bought a new computer with Windows 8 OS. I downloaded the BB desktop manager to be able to sync the PC with the BB Bold 9900. It gives me an error 1723 with the following message. "DLL required could not be run. Action: Repair rim Usb Driver. NT.07D232B6_7904_4970_8B22_8FA..."
    The Microsoft community suggested I unregister and re register Windows installer. I did that but still when I connect the phone to the PX via the USB it is not recognized. 
    I contacted HP support and after 30 minutes  of questions the guy suggested I contact BB support. I don't see a direct link to BB support only this link. Can anyone help?

    OK. Thanks, but how do I repair the rim us drive?
    Are you on Win8 or Win8.1, as the other poster who reported an identical issue? In either case, I don't find any useful KBs on the matter...you might have better luck searching:
    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/microsite.do
    But, if you are on Win8.1, then I'm starting to suspect a compatibility issue...AFAIK, the Desktop Software is compatible up to Win8, but perhaps not with Win8.1. Refer:

    Good luck!

  • I previously owned an iPad. I want to restore my iBook collection from my iPad to my Macbook. I can only see my collections but not the books. How can I restore it from my iPad backup?

    I prevsiouly owned an Ipad. Before selling it, I backup it on my Macbook. When the new Mavericks has been released, i upgraded my Mac. Now that I have iBooks on my Mac, I want to restore my iBook collection from my previous Ipad to my Mac. On my Mac, I can only see the iBooks collection of my previous iPad but not the books that I have purchased. I probably had more than a hundred books on my collection (in epub and pdf formats). I have already tried transferring purchases in iTunes and adding to my Library but to no avail.
    Can anyone give me a solution to this.

    Restore as a NEW device to test. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • BB Bold 9900 Won't Backup, pls advise!

    I just got a new MacBook Air -- I guess it's running Mountain Lion (10.8.4) - and I'm having problems backing up my Berry (didn't have any recent issues w my old computer).   Is there a flaw w the Mountain Lion software?   BB Desktop Software said I needed an update -- I tried three times and apparently it didn't take.  Help! 

    Hey Silverlakerr,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    I suggest uninstalling BlackBerry Desktop Software and then download the latest version from www.blackberry.com/desktop then restart the Mac.  
    Then plug in the BlackBerry Bold 9900 smartphone and attempt to create a backup and let me know if you receive any errors.
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • Adjusting the SIM card activation sound - BlackBerry Bold 9900

    Hi there,
    when activating a SIM card on a BlackBerry Bold 9900 on the newest available build of BlackBerry OS 7, for example if two or more SIM cards of the same provider are used with different devices, using the code *100#, a system sound reminiscent of the characteristic BIOS sound on a computer will be played, however this sound is too loud and there does not seem to be an obvious way to adjust the sound or at least its volume.
    Is there any way to adjust this?
    Thank you,

    You can dowload the Enterprise activation App from the below link, but make sure that the your number has the proper data plan, and the device registered  with your carrier.

  • I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Mac

    I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Machine, there are only about 5 backups recorded on the ext. hard drive. There were many more before. Any idea what happened and if I have to buy a new back up hard drive?

    Hallo  Kieth ,
    I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
    Thanks for your interest and advice.
    regards  - Alan

  • TS4036 I've got a new iPad I'm trying to do an iCloud back up but keep being given the following message: no iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS (6.1.3) on this iPad. How do I restore I cloud on my new device?

    I've got a new iPad and am trying to do an iCloud backup but keep getting the following message: no iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS (6.1.3) on this iPad.
    How do I restore info from iCloud onto my new device?

    You would have to update your device first, before you can restore your iPad from your backup. Resolution: set it up as anew device, then update your device to the latest version "Settings > General > Updates", then reset your device again "Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings" and then after the iPad restarts again, choose to restore your device from your backup.
