Why can't I restore from a backup (backup file made from another Z10 now gone)
I made a backup yesterday from my old Z10 (now exchanged and security wiped)
I want to restore to my new Z10. But Blackberry link (1.2.1.18) won't open the backup, it's greyed out and it says 'can't find any backup from this phone'.
How do I restore this backup from a different phone?
Ira,
Thanks for your suggestions.
I haven't ever changed my Blackberry user ID - unless somehow I was logged out if that's possible, on the old machine.
The new phone after setup downloaded an upgrade to BB10 that is a newer version (I assume) than the old phone.
Is there no way to unlock this backup? What is the point of having a backup system you can't restore from? The Link software has improved but throughout history it has been full of non-working DRM that seems designed to frustrate and make impossible the simplest tasks. Can I turn off the security somehow?

HT1766 Why can't I restore from my icloud after my phone kept shutting off due to panic lists?
Why can't I restore from my iclould after my phone kept shutting off due to panic lists?
Oh, that. Yeah, I've done it when I got the printer. Thanks. But the ePrint is not the same as the Wireless printing. Firstly, I have to go through the hassle of sending an email and secondly, when I email the document to the printer, it takes 2 pages to print it out, whereas the Wireless only takes 1 page. So it's not only about saving the time, but also the paper and the colour.
This is driving me crazy. I am pretty sure that all the features've been set properly. The printer is connected to the same internet (Magnet****) as my i-phone and the computer. (Just with a little difference - the computer is connected to the internet router by a wire, the printer is connected wirelessly.) Both the lights on the front of the printer (Wireless, ePrint) are on continuously. The printer accepts all the printing jobs from my computer as well as all the ePrint jobs. Only my i-phone keeps telling me that there've been No AirPrint Printers Found. Even though it has worked. I really can't think of anything to fix it. Can you? Please?
Thank you, Georgina. -
I have an iTunes account where I have downloaded Digital movies & I am able to see the list on the desktop of the original downloads. When I log on another device with my login I do not see my list to access them. Why can't I access from another device
Hey GingCarv,
Great question. You'll want to download the movies from your purchase history. The following article explains how to do so:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Note: At this time, movies are not available for automatic downloads.

My Itunes-Angola doesn´t has any music (songs) at all. I would like to buy songs from itunes store from a diferrent country. but it doesn´t allow me.
You can only buy/download content from your own country's store - to be able to buy from another country's store you will need to be in that country and have a valid billing address in that country on your iTunes account (content is licensed to Apple to sell by the content providers on a country-by-country basis).
In order to sell music in Angola the record companies will have have to grant Apple licenses to do so - until if/when they do that then unfortunately you won't be able to buy music from Apple. You can try leaving feedback for Apple to let them know that there are people there that would like to buy music : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ -

Hi, Samanthacarol.
If you are able to see the backup file in iCloud but unable to restore from the backup, then the article below will explain the solution.

I had to re-install XP on my laptop. I then installed itunes again. Now I want to restore my music from backup CD's. But the option device under file is greyed out. I can't select restore from backup. How do I make the restore option active? i have an IPOD nano.
I think it's QuickTime player causing the problem, when I try to open it I get the windows error that an error has occured
Let's try swapping out your QuickTime again, taking a few extra explicit precautions this time.
Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Now download and save a copy of the latest standalone QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (We'll run the install from there rather than online.)
Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install. Start the install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
If that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does your iTunes launch properly now?
(If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. Include error message numbers if you're getting any.) -
Can be done restore from an earlier backup if the backup was deleted?
can be done restore from an earlier backup if the backup was deleted? restoring from backup is lost application
No, you cannot restore from a deleted backup, because the backup is deleted. It therefore no longer exists.
Just re-download the lost app from the AppStore. -
I upgraded to ios6.1.3 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved. Can I some how restore the apps to avoid having to pay for them again and having to recreate settings?
As I said, the backup that iTunes makes does not include apps (and music) if those items where not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you restored they will not be on the iPod.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

Why can't I print from my ipad?
I've had my iPad for almost a year now and I like it a lot. It looks very good, it performs very well even though I'm far from reaching my goal of only taking my ipad to school, nothing else.
One important reason why this won't be the case for quite a while still is that I can't print from the iPad.
Let me explain. I make quite a number of worksheets. Being a teacher this is one of the things you do so that the students have something to write on and do exercises. Over the years there have been many of these and my initial thought was to put them all on the iPad and print them when needed. But imagine my surprise when I found out that printing from an iPad seems to be near impossible.
Other colleagues of mine got themselves cheap EEPCs and they work fine. They can access the local printer easily printing whatever they wish. But I can't do that! Unless my school buys a new Air-thingy printer from HP I just won't print there! And that just *****.
I've bought a sleek and expensive machine that is so sophisticated - that I can't use it the way I want to. And that isn't even ******** about the file system that seems to be equally messed up.
My question is, why can't I print from the iPad? Printing had been announced many times before the launch of iOS 4 and then, all of a sudden, nothing more. How can this be? Why do I have to buy additional software - which is not really cheap and far from certain to work at all - just to be able to print a few pages?
Please help me understand this, as I see it, major flaw of the iPad and iOS 5.Thanks guys,
I seem to have understood by now.
To sum it up:
- I can print with the iPad directly if the printer is Airprint compatible.
- I can print via a number of more or less working apps.
I've downloaded some HP software for my iPad and even seem to be able to access it from some other apps, that is except Apples Pages app. Sigh! So whenever I have to make changes in my documents, I still can't print.
GoodReader on the other hand lets me send my documents to the HP app, but the app/HP won't let me print microsoft docs unless I register and send my documents over to HP where the printing prep is being made, then they send it back to me/my printer. Anyway GoodReader blows my layout apart, so I must change it on the iPad, but when I do …
It's a big catch.
You must realize that printing really isn't that comfortable and that as a spoiled old Mac user I might be excused for wishing something more workable.
The truth seems to be that I've got to carry all those docs on a USB-stick, move them over to the Windows-machine at our school and print from there - which is what I do on a daily basis already.
All those workarounds that may or may not work (check out user comments on those printing apps!) are so annoying that my overall question remains pretty much the same.
But I could also rephrase the question: Why can't I print from the so-called best tablet office app even if I am equipped with all the apps I apparently need?
Please understand that this is not Apple-bashing in any way. This is a real problem for me in my everyday life. I won't be persuading my school to buy AirPrint printers just because of my little problem and I honestly don't want to spend more money on printing apps that seem never to even have gone through beta testing.
Still, thanks for you efforts. I guess I'll just have to wait for Microsoft Office for iPad to get that big problem solved. -
Why can't I print from Illustrator a non-faded print. It always prints as if I wanted a proof or something.
YOu have not provided any system info, version info or details about your printer. This is not going anywhere beyond stating the obvious - your system is not color managed.

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ? I use HP wireless printer .
Are you sure you have the right printer?
In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.
