Using BlackBerry Link for tranfer

Hi, I want to tranfer my data from my BlackBerry Curve 8520 to my BlackBerry Z10 but I can't because BlackBerry Link doesn't work for the BlackBerry Curve. Instead, I have to run BlackBerry desktop software but I can't make the connection between the 2 phones using 2 softwares.

Blackberry Link for Q10 with Outlook Sync has very poor performance and not good Functionality

I am wondering if anyone has tested this software. Blackberry Sync software for my previous phones were wonderful. I can sync my contacts and calender in a very short time. With this new Blackberry Link it takes about 1 1/2 hours Plus to complete. And when it does complete - it duplicates entries which I did not want.
Plus what is missing is the following:
1. I am not able to say Update both Device and Outlook any longer. This functionality is gone.
My question: How does it do a two way sync if I only have a choice to use what I have on my phone or on outlook only
I want to be able to update my Outlook contacts with changes and addition I made on my Q10 phone and update my device with changes I made to Outlook.
Why did Blackberry remove this very flexible choice? Plus Blackberry Link has very poor performance.
I work for a large company and I do Enterpirse Software testing daily. Performance is the number one complaint for customers on top of the UI and functionality.

Thanks for the reply.
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 6.3.9600 Build 9600
Link: 1.2.3.23
BB Desktop: 7.1.0.41
Anti Virus: Avast 140312-0
Firewall: None
A thing I noticed when I opened Descktop Software for the first time since the new Z30 is that the old application thinks it is looking for a Z30. I havent even opened the application since before I got the new device. The only way it could think I have a Z30 is if it is using a lot of the same files as Blackberry Link. That is some pretty terrible software development practices in my opinion. I'm going to take your suggestion and uninstall both apps, run a registry cleaner and reinstall BB Link and I bet it works a lot better afterwards.
EDIT 12 March 2014 7PM EST
Still all of the same errors with regard to syncing outlook contacts and Schedules. I will post all of the error messages I recieve here as I see them. Application is always started by connecting device with USB cable.
"Sync was unseccessful
Caught _com_error exception. Description(): Error in MAPILogonEx: MAPI_E_CALL_FAILED; Error(): -2147467259 (0x80004005); ErrorMessage(): Unspecified error; Source(): XCPCRdmptn.RdRDOSession"
REBOOT
Change to sync contacts only, 1-way sync to computer, always use device data
"Sync was unsuccessful
CPreferencesManager: Configuration Value for /Preferences/Account_1_65537/DevicePin not set in TransConfig.xml for translator RimBB"
REBOOT
Application went through the whole process and hung for about 15 minutes and then completed successfuly syncing contacts only.
Change to callendar only. Sync completed successfuly. No hang or errors. very quick.
A new recurring appointment on the device was not transferred to the computer.
Sync callendar again, completed successfuly.
Appointment is still not transferred to computer.
So far I've spent an hour tonight trying to sync my contacts and appointment changes from just one day. I'm not thrilled.

Using Sym Links for .dbf, .log, and .ctl files? Will this work in 10g?

Hello,
We have an old database server we use for testing/development and it's running very low on diskspace on one of the filesystems on the box. At this point in time, adding space is not a simple option for several reasons. However, there are several other data partitions on this server with plenty of space available.
I read a paper published by Sun Microsystems that advocates the use of symbolic links for dbf, ctl, and log files:
http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0103/817-1048.pdf
Are there any drawbacks/caveats we need to be aware of, or is this really as simple as just stopping the db, moving a few files to another fs, symlinking their locations, and restarting the db?
Thanks for your input/advice.

I think you should verify this with Oracle Support.
This is the perfect measure to have them drop the phone on you.

Using DB Link for SQL Server

Hi All,
When I query the SQL server table from Oracle using DB Link, it works fine for any table:
select * from testtable@DBLINK test -- This statement works fine because I am giving * i.e. all columns
But when I try to query specific columns like
Select test.status from testtable@DBLINK test
then it gives me error ORA-00904: "test.Status invalid Identifier", I can see this particular column when I query the testtable for all of the columns.
I don't know what to do.
Thanks

You need to use quoted names. SQL Server data dictionary stores names in same case they were entered while Oracle in upper case. So when you issue
Select test.status from testtable@DBLINK test Oracle parser will look for column STATUS while on SQL Server side it could be stored, for examle, as Status or status. Check column names on SQL Server side and use quoted names. Assuming column name is Status:
Select test."Status" from testtable@DBLINK test SY.

Can I use special links for statistics?

Hey guys,
I have a question. I want to upload on my podcast a new episode as a PDF file. I know that's possible. But now I want to link this file via PHP on my server, so I can see live statistics everytime when somebody downloads the file.
My new link looks like this:
http://mysite.com/rss/?episode=234
With modified header information on my PHP file it is possible now, to download directly the PDF file while surfing this page. That's because the browser thinks, that file is really a unique PDF file.
So, is that in iTunes possible to use this kind of link?
Thank your for your answers!

That link leads to a 'file not found' error, which isn't a good start.
Using php redirects for podcast media files is a bit chancy: it can work, or it can fail. You can only try it and see what happens. You can test it by going to iTunes menu 'Advanced' and choosing 'Subscribe to Podcast' and entering your feed URL. If it works there it's fine, if not, not.

Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
You might also try connecting to a WiFi network and completing the BBM setup.

Change Submit button to img and use as link for email?

I'm trying to create a form using a submit button. I don't want to use the email link because of spoofing problems. How can I make this happen?

Your stated question and your subject are out of synch - what is it you want to do?
* use an image as a submit button? If so, just insert an image field.
* submit the form to produce an email without using the mailto - type link? Then you would have to understand how to process form submissions using a script.
There are only two ways to process form data -
1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the form's data, b)
process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c) formulate and
send an email to one or more email recipients, and d) redirect the visitor
to some ending page
Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It depends both
on your visitor having an email client already installed on their computer -
this eliminates public computers, or home users without email clients
installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed email client responding to
the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and* send the visitor to a
thank you page as well.
Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the problems of method
1, but it means that you have to grapple with server-scripting somehow (ASP,
CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing, like
http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/.
You would have to decide which of these methods is best for your needs,
but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what they provide for form
processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions carefully.

Using Dynamic Link for projects cut in Premiere and effects in AE.. Rendering Question..

Hello,
So this baffles me. I've been working a lot in Premiere CC lately with ProResHQ green screen material. I send the sequence or individual clips using After Effects by right clicking on the clip in Premiere and selecting Create After Effects Composition...
So I do my thing and when it comes time to render, I select render from IN to OUT in Premiere and wait. Now here's my question. If I select render in Premiere, it will be very sluggish until I click on the After Effects icon in my dock which brings the app to the foreground again. For some reason, this will dramatically accelerate my render speeds in premiere after I re-select the AE app. Why is this doing this?
I'm using a new Mac Pro trashcan tower 3.5 clock speed. 64GB ram. Dual D700 graphics card. I am using a USB3.0 drive for my editing and the internal drive on the tower for the scratch. I'm getting a Lacie 1TB little bigdisk thunderbolt2 that will be my prime scratch and video location for future stuff.
Thanks for your help -
R

Generally speaking, there is no 'one & only' proper workflow. Just keep in mind the following:
- not all effects and transitions are properly translated when travelling from PrPro to AE;
- in Dynamic Link scenario PrPro communicates with AE projects via single instance of headless AE, which creates a bottleneck. See this good old thread on Dynamic Link workflow, pay attention to Todd's comments;
- since AE allows to set a DI as a proxy to dynamically linked comp, with reasonable amount of dynamically linked comps in PrPro project you can enjoy the best of both worlds, instantly switching between a DI and dynamically linked comp back and forth with no needs to replace anything in PrPro timeline. Test on your own with which amount of dynamically linked comps setting DIs as proxies still work. For my rig test 30 min sequence built out of 935 dynamically linked comps, which are just source footages in their own comps, hence, the equivalent to rendered DIs set to proxies, takes around 27 hours to render, while 30 min sequence built out of the same 935 source footages renders in real time.

Cannot back up my device using blackberry link

hi guys,
i have a problem with back up..i have z10 (SLT100-1) ...even its connected to the laptop it shows an error that verify that u r device is connected to pc and see that its turned on......
Can anyone please help me........

Swipe down on your homescreen and select Settings>Storage and Access. Scroll down to USB Mass Storage and make sure it's toggled to OFF. To use your phone as a USB drive (to view photos, videos, etc. on your computer), it needs to be ON however in order for your phone to connect to Link it needs to be OFF.
I hope that helps you.

Blackberry Link uses a lot of memory

I am using Blackberry Link 1.1.1.41 on Windows 7 x64 (with a Q10). BlackBerryLink.exe *32 is using 294Mb of memory! That's more than any other process except Internet Explorer with loads of windows open.
The previous version was the same, and I was hoping the upgade wold deal with this issue.
I have also had to configure it NOT to launch at startup, as it stops everything else booting, so I cannot use any application until Link has finished whatever it is doing.
Has anyone else seen this?
Are RIM support aware?

As an update, I just started BB Link, which climbed rapidly from an initial 35Mb to 217Mb. Which is similar to the amount I started this post with.
I am using Wireless to sync with my laptop.
So, as you say Alan, it may be related to how much you are allowing it to share with the smartphone device - even though you have not asked for a synch update.
I have just been invited to update from 1.1.1.41 to 1.2.1.31 which has a totally new look and feel. The memory use is now 145Mb (without changing any file settings, unless the install changed anything).

Update to BlackBerry Link available for PCs, 1.0.1.11

Just inquired with Bell if there was a new update for BlackBerry Link -- may I pass on a reminder to BlackBerry to put the notice out there... perhaps I just missed it. Possibly this is the Outlook syncing feature people have been talking about...
I had to call Bell to figure out how to download the Update -- they told me to go to ca.blackberry.com/ and babysat me through it -- you have to go to that main page, then click on Software at the top, then go down the page to the section on BlackBerry Link for OS 10, and click on the line "learn more about BlackBerry Link" and when on that page, click the button for Download for PC or Download for Mac... mine went smoothly. My Z10 was on at the time, connected to cellular and to the resident house WiFi, not connected to the computer but just sitting on a table nearby, and some kind of communication between the two I believe took place, what I don't know, or perhaps it was over the clouds...
Hint to BlackBerry: Maybe a line on the Link software itself as to how and where to update it? And some kind of thing on the web such as "Check for latest update for Link software" "How to update your Link Software" -- maybe those two exercises could be combined.... but the latest version number should be publicized on the BlackBerry websites, folks.... also don't hide the procedure away so effectively!!

Extra note: I find it terribly important for BlackBerry to make it clear and easy where to update Link and how, and that you update it by downloading it again, the process takes care of itself... but it should be clear-for-dummies what the new version number is, and where and how to update it. Especially to solve syncing issues, right?!
I am using Link 1.1.1.32
