Sony bridge for mac RESTORE phone not working after exchange xperia from Sony

Hi everyone,I have been sent an exchange unit from Sony to replace my previous xperia zThis phone has an older imei number than mine and wont allow me to restore using the Sony Bridge for Mac softwareIs this because of the different imei number???i have lots of notes, messages stored in a previous backup using the Sony bridge for mac softwareWhich i need to retrieve onto the "second hand Marked and scratched exchange unit" which Sony have sent me DOES anyone have a sollution to this please Thanks in advance... Steve

Hi Echo_steve Unfortunately, as I expected, you're not able to restore to another phone. However, there is one possible solution, but there is no guarantee it will work and it might mess things upp so you'll have to do it on your own risk. I'm afraid that's the best I can do for now. Here's how to work around the restore block. Again, use this with caution as there's no guarantee it will work. Also make sure Bridge isn't running when you attempt this:- Do a backup of the new phone
- goto ~/Library/Application Support/Sony Ericsson Bridge for Mac/
- Go to the "Backups" folder and find the backup sets
- Try to locate the old backup folder and rename it to the name of the new backup.This can be quite tricky, as the folders are named things like "CB5A1JYXNQ". But basically, if the backup set of the old phone is named "ABCDEF01" and the backup set of the new phone is "ABCDEF02", it should be enough to remove (or rename) the new backup set and rename the old one to "ABCDEF02".
Again, I'm sorry there's no easy fix. Please let me know if it works for you. Best Regards, David

  • Jquery content not working after the updates from firefox

    Hi, i've realized that some of my website's banner is not working after the recent updates from firefox, whereas those website's banner is working in google chrome.
    Hope there is a solution for this as i'm using the firefox for years and wish this issues can be settle.
    The banner URL is http://www.irs.com.my/slider/index.html

    SlideDeck has a post on how to resolve this error, caused by a bug in this very old version of their library that you're using. See: [http://www.slidedeck.com/blog/firefox-20-update-and-slidedeck-js-weve-got-you-covered/ Firefox 20 update and SlideDeck.js – we’ve got you covered] for more information. As a Pro customer, you were supposed to get an email notice, but... here you are.
    I studied the script before discovering that and found two issues, but there might be more:
    (1) slidedeck.jquery.js detects Firefox 20 as Firefox 2 and halts. Note that this regex is the problem:
    firefox2:F.match(/firefox\/2/)?true:false
    (2) Starting in Firefox 16, the -moz-transform property was unprefixed, that is, you need to use transform for Firefox 16 and later.

  • TX2500Z touchscreen does not work after Windows7 upgrade from HP specific to S/N, etc on laptop.

    My TX2500Z touchscreen does not work after I upgraded to Windows 7. I cannot find any support or drivers, etc. to fix.  I bought Windows 7 directly from HP specific to my P/N and S/N on my TX2500Z.  Any help? Thanks.

    after 2,5 days (spending half a day within the apple shop as well with this problem) i have it all back on track.
    i did a lot of different things: trying to remove and reinstall iPhoto; did a SL installation over the old SL I had on my HD; backing up all the data of course before and reformatting my HD and installing a new clean SL version on it + a new clean version of iLife9 with all the updates and than I migrate with migrate assistant all the data and setting with time machine back onto it, but all this didn't work, because it also migrated the error/bug through time machine with it.
    so at the end i just installed a brand new, clean SL version on my hard drive, than I did the updates and put all my data, photos, docs, movies, mail, bookmarks, music, etc manual back into the system (drag and drop from my external HD, where i had an exact copy of my internal HD) and did all the settings again in all the different programs.
    the only thing i used migrant assistant with time machine for was for the programs. it seems to work now all fine and i even got more free space on my HD, because some of the old stuff i always carried with me but i never used, i didn't take over.
    basically everything is clean now. At least i hope and works fine. touch wood!

  • Lightroom 5.5 for Mac Adjustment Brush not working

    Hi all, since updating to Lightroom 5.5 for Mac Adjustment Brush has stopped working entirely. I can open the menu and it does display the brush within the menu. When dragging the tool into the image it changes to the mouse arrow which doesn't have any function. Any ideas? Thank you very much for your help. Chris

    And- do you actually press or hold down the left-mouse button and drag the cursor on the image? as you would a paint brush. A 'Pin' will appear where you start the brush stroke.
    And- Is it possible that you have the switch at the base of the brush panel sliders turned off ?   (The toggle switch on the same line as "Reset" and "Close")
    Pressing "O" only turns the overlay mask on/off to give a visual indication 'Where' you have applied the brush.
    Pressing "SHIFT+O" changes the colour of the MASK overlay- Red, Green, Grey, Clear
    "O" does not affect any editing of the image.

    Here is a very easy possible solution, worth trying before uninstalling Office. It worked for us so hopefully might work for you.
    We installed Yosemite on a test machine to check for problems. Office 2011 for Mac ran and still does run fine on that machine with Yosemite.
    As a result we installed Yosemite on our main machines. At the same time we updated Office for Mac 2011 using the latest update 14.4.7. It was at this point that Office started crashing every time a document was opened.
    Solution that worked for us.
    1 Using Font Book (comes with your Mac) we removed all duplicate fonts. We selected the automatically remove option.
    2 Restart computer.
    3 Shut down computer.
    4 Restart computer in 'safe boot' to do this:
    a) Shut down the computer.
    b) Press the power button.
    c) Immediately after hearing start-up tone, hold down SHIFT key.
    d) Release SHIFT key after Apple logo and progress indicator appears.
    e) Once computer has opened, restart the computer without holding down any keys.
    5 Hopefully all should be ok now. Your machine might run a little slow for a while as it rebuilds caches etc but all ours were back at full speed after a few minutes.
    Best Wishes
    Bob

    If you want to have the icons in your main Applications folder, use alias icons.
    You also need to update it to version 14.1.4, if you move the applications from that subfolder, the update process will probably fail.

  • Captivate 5 for Mac - keyboard commands not working

    I just fired up Captivate 5 for Mac for the first time and am trying to create a recording, but the command+enter key does not stop the recording and instead captures a screenshot. In fact, every command combination I try does that and the only way to stop the recording is to click on the icon in the status bar at the top. What am I doing wrong? I have searched through the forum and help and don't see anyone else having this problem.

    If you're talking about keystroke shortcuts in published browser output, the issue is not Adobe's fault but the fact that browsers get first pick of the keystrokes and assign them to their own browser functions. 
    There is no way to control what the browser will or will not let through from within the Captivate content.  Each end user's browser can have different settings.
    My advice is to stop stressing about using keystrokes.  There are some things that you can achieve when building an application that cannot be replicated exactly when building a browser-based simulation of that same application.

  • Word for Mac 2011 Fonts not working since Yosemite

  • HT4623 phones not working after ios6 install

    ive tried to update my phone to ios6 and it all went through then my phone displayed plug into itunes done that and its not working it comes up on screen with apple logo and the bar at the bottom processes for 2 mins then turns off and back through the whole situation again.

    Try putting your iPhone in restore mode. To do so you have to connect your iPhone to your mac via usb. Then press and hold the power and the home button at the same time. Now when the apple logo appears release only the power button, but keep on holding the home button until the iTunes logo with the usb cabel appears on your display.
    iTunes should now recognize your iPhone in restore mode and you can safely restore your iPhone to factory settings.

  • Phone not working after software update!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please refer to this official download portal as you proceed. It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. After installing the OS package to your PC, please remeber to delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
    You may also want to try the "Bare Bones OS Reload Procedure" to attempt to narrow down the precise causal item:
    Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
    If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
    If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
    Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
    If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
    When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
    If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
    If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
