Transfer from a dead blackberry!

Is there a way I can transfer at least my contacts from an old dead Blackberry Bold onto my new Z10. My old phone completely stopped working which is why I upgraded to the new one but now I can't get any of my old info. I can't turn my old BB on and my computer won't recognize it. I have all my contacts backed up in Blackberry Desktop Manager and in the contacts folder on Windows. All of the instructions for "Switching Devices" requires computer connection of the old phone! Please help!!

If the phone is dead and cannot be resurrected, you cannot get your data from it. Did you back up your data with the Desktop Manager, or to MS Outlook?
Otherwise you are "out of luck".

  • Transfer from  a dead iBook

    I just got a new Macbook, the higher end aluminum one. I also have an old iBook (from early 2005) that is dead because the logic board went out. Is there a way for me to transfer my files (itunes, pics, contacts) from the dead iBook onto my new Macbook? I was going to try target disk mode, but without firewire I know that isn't an option.

    Have fun tearing it apart.
    I wanted to replace the hard drive in my old iBook G3 600 for a long time. I took a look at the guides for doing it and I lost my desire to try. It was just all the pieces that needed spudgers to separate the parts, all the adhesive layers that needed to be removed and replaced (and might not stick back correctly) that scared me off. Not to mention all the delicate parts that could be busted.
    If I just wanted to take that thing out to save the hard drive, I think I would have an easy time not worrying about what I break getting to the hard drive. In the past I've had a good time taking apart electronics that were dead, just to see what was in there.

  • Retrieve photos from a dead blackberry Z10?

    Hi,
    I have a blackberry z10 that pretty much died for no reason, the phone just stopped working one day while in my pocket. When I take out the battery from the phone and plug it in the computer, the led red light comes on for a bit, as like it is charging, but once I put in the battery, the light goes off. I did some research, and others have had the same problem with the Z10.
    Anyways I do not care to pay and repair this phone, as I already got another phone.The problem is that I have some photos on my cell that I would like. My phone is dead, and my computer will not recognize that the phone is plugged in.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to retrieve my photos?
    Thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    If your device won't power up, then no normal means can retrieve any data from it. There may be fee-based services that might be able to retrieve your data (I've seen some posts here...but saved none...you should search)...but I'd guess they won't be cheap. Backups, as always, are a critical component to owning/using a technology device.
    Good luck!

  • How to decrypt a media card from a dead blackberry ?

    My old blackberry is broken beyond repair, and its sd card is encrypted. Is there any way I can access its content on my new blackberry or via PC?
    Thank you in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I agree with @sdgardne .
    Having decrypted/unencrypted backup files is still the best practice to do because only a blackberry smartphone can decrypt files ecnrypted by a blackberry smartphone (unles there is a software that does that). Smartphones are extremely vulnerable when stolen or lost. Believe me this happened to me on one of my SD cards, I didn't have backup so my personl files are now long gone, but I can breathe freely knowing each and every pictures, docs, videos etc. on the SD card are encrypted.

  • Kindle books, transfer from PC to Blackberry Playboom

    I have a tone of kindle books on my Pc that I want to copy to my new playbook. How do I do that? I have loaded the kindle App on the tablet.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I free-trialled a Kindle DRM removal tool which you can also buy, which enables kindle books with drm to be read by that Book Reader for EPUB and Kindle app. You get three free goes. You then load them up into Books folder as Troy said and import within the app
    Assuming you legally own the Kindle books I don't see this as at all illegal (well not in the spiritual sense, maybe in certain countries it is illegal) but then in the greater context of man's inhumanity to man these days, probably too sinful to do. 
    You'll  have to g00gle it as I no longer have it installed.

  • Is it possible to transfer data from a dead macbook pro to a new user account on another macbook pro?

    I have killed my 2 months old mbp (water). I have an older mbp (2 years old) that I wish to transfer all data from my dead mbp to. I was hoping that I simply could create a new user on my old mbp and transfer all data to this account using the migration assistant and thereby re-create my dead mbp. Especially I wish to acces my contacts, mail settings and calendar, but would of course prefer to acces all files. I have a thing (do not know the right term) that can read the HD on the dead computer. It is now connected to my mbp, and I can acces data, but the migration assistant do not recognize it. Can someone please help me?
    Thanks...

    It's possible that the water caused your hard drive directory to be corrupted when the logic board shorted out. You may want to try repairing the now-external drive with Disk Utility's Repair Disk routine. If it reports making any repairs, run it repeatedly until it reports that the disk "appears OK". Then try Migration Assistant again.
    If that fails, then perhaps the disk itself was damaged by the spill. You could go one step farther and try using data recovery software on the drive:

    All three recovery utilities come in demo versions that will show you what the full version could recover before you have to pay for anything.
    Good luck.

  • How do I retrieve my backed up iphone contacts from itunes and transfer them to a blackberry?

    Help, I am struggling! I have had to change work phones from iPhone to Blackbery. How do I retrieve my backed up iphone contacts from my itunes player and transfer them to a blackberry? Is this even possible? I no longer have my old iPhone, but thought that I could just transfer them all over to a bb if I had backed up before I gave the iPhone back.

    iTunes does not and has never contained contacts.  It is not a contact management application.
    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Ask BlackBerry how to get the contacts from whatever application or cloud service your contacts have been synced with to your new phone.

  • How do I transfer my memos and passwords from my Verizon Blackberry Storm 2 to my VErizon Iphone 4S?

    I purchased the new Iphone 4S and have successfully transferred my contacts list and setup my email account.  I would like to transfer my memos from Memo Pad and my passwords from Password Keeper on my Verizon Blackberry Storm 2 to my new Verizon IPhone 4S.  How do I transfer my memos and passwords from my Verizon Blackberry to my Verizon Iphone?  Thanks.

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer, which is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Select the same under the Info tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync and the contacts in the supported address book application on your computer which are also available on your iPhone will be transferred to your iPad.
    Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. After the photos are imported by your computer and placed in a designated folder or album on your computer, select this album or folder under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes along with any other photos on your computer that you want transferred to your iPad followed by a sync.

  • Is there a way to transfer music from a dead Ipod to a new one?

    My Ipod won't charge and I have another one to use for music and idk how t put music on there from my dead ipod I don't have my music on my computer cuz I got detleed

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If the computer does not see the iPod there is no way to get info off the iPod except a Data Recovery Company might be able to do it.

  • How do I move iTunes from a dead computer?

    My iTunes currently resides on a dead computer (hard drive failure). How do I move iTunes to my laptop PC (Vista) without losing all of my music/videos (on iPod) or apps (iPhone)?

    Don't think you can get anything from your Dead computer.
    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the same music on your new PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

    As for you own music/videos, you may have to use a third party software.  A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • Can I restore data from a dead Seagate external hard drive?

    I have stored all my traveling pictures on my 2TB Seagate external hard drive. But when I plug the external drive to my PC this morning, it works quite slowly. When I click the external hard drive, it has no response. It seems like that
    the Seagate external hard drive is dead. How is it possible to restore all files from a dead Seagate external hard drive when it has no response?

    Something might be wrong with your Seagate external hard drive. You can try to plug out the external hard drive and reconnect it to your PC again to see if it can work normally. Once you are able to access the Seagate external drive, you
    had better transfer all important data to another device to avoid data loss. If you are unable to access the Seagate, probably there are bad sectors on it. If so, you might have a try with data recovery software like iCare Data Recovery to extract files off
    the external drive. This software is free and reliable.
