I have memos on old blackberry curve 8320 that i need to transfer to my new blackberry curve 8320. i used the switch device option in the blackberry desktop software and it copied every thing except the memos. now there isn't even a memo pad icon on my new blackberry. I tried to re-sync the new blackberry from one of my old back ups but memos are dimmed out as read only files that cannot be restored.
I just bought a BB Bold 9930, but still have lots of files on an old Palm Treo. It's about one thousand phone numbers and addresses + one hundred memos, of which several should be private or coded.Is there any way/method to facilitate the transfer or do I have to do it manually, one by one - first writing them anew on my computer and then transferring them to my BB? Three questions in this context:
1. The phone book entries: How do I proceed? 2. The Memos: I have succeeded in transferring them to my PC, so they are now in .txt format. How should I best proceed to transfer them to my BB? 3. Some of the Memos should continue being private/protected - how to transfer them? And in what order to undertake these different steps?
Long story short, the person at the Verizon store had to backup and factory reset my phone. I lost all my Quick Memos. She did not inform me that they wouldn't be backed up. Is there a way to recover them?
I am trying to access my memos from my computer so that I can save them to the computer and back them up. When I plug my BB into my computer though all I see is the contents of the memory card and there are no memos on there. I guess the memos must be stored into the hard memory of the BB, but I cannot figure out how to access it.
Is there anyway I can retrieve my contacts and memos if I dont have my blackberry? I want to put them in a temporary phone till I get another blackberry.
My Blackberry Curve has developed a frustrating problem. A couple of weeks ago, the screen started fading out to white and wouldn't go back to normal operating screenThe only way to get it back was to connect it to my Mac and restart via BlackBerry desktop. All fine, but it has continued to do this on a daily basis. If I am on a call, the tell tale sign is a loud crackle, then bang - have lost all connection and the white screen of death is back. Taking out the battery and restarting doesn't fix it.I backed up my files last month and when I'd restart it, everything was restored. Until this week, that is. I can't restore my memos from the backup file and three games have also disappeared (not that they matter ... much!).
When I go into the back file, the memos is in grey (where you should be able to tick the box), with a note at the bottom that says: "Dimmed entries are read-only data bases and cannot be restored."I know there must be a way to get then back, but I'm at my wit's end. I've got some important notes on them and want them back before I replace my Curve.
Last night I updated from 4.5.0175 to 4.5.0186 and all my memos were deleted. Is there any way to recover them? I am desperate! Also - is there any way to prevent this from happening again?
The memos on my curve have suddenly all disappeared. I have a back-up, however the database is greyed out when I try to restore it and it will not restore.
I have a Blackberry Curve 8530 which I was working fine with 250 contacts and 20 memos. I just updated my software to 5.0 1596 and when I was synching my blackberry with my computer I got the following message " The following changes from address book microsoft outlook will be applied t your device data in address book - 233 additions". When I click accept the sync stops and I got an error message - 0x80040fb3 and I only have 4 contacts and no memos.
i tried to back it up on to my phone. but it wont work, i wouldve posted this when i found out it wouldnt work but i couldnt remember by password to log on.
I recently migrated from BB Javeline to BB Curve 8520 and installed desktop manager V6 to transfer data.While I am able to backup the entire data on the desktop, I want to transfer only the phonebook on the new phone and not other data (such as e mail folders).In the current version, I have option only to backup the entire data (which I dont want to)The phone book option is striked out in V6 of desktop manager.Is there a way to transfer only phone book now ?? I've looked up on the website and there is no other version of the desktop manager. I've got over 1200 contacts....
I was using the Memo app today, following a recipe I had saved there. Abruptly, everything I had in the app disappeared, including the recipe I was using.I've tried everything I can think of to recover those files, but nothing has worked so far.I had a LOT of important information in there! Passwords, reminders, lists.
As the title states, I noticed yesterday that new/updated contacts and memos are not syncing back and forth between my hosted Exchange server and my BlackBerry. I confirmed that they're syncing fine between PC's through the Exchange server, but nothing is being pushed or pulled from my BlackBerry.
I called my host last night, and they got me to go in and update some settings. Under the DNS Manager they got me to 'Restore Defaults' on MX (Mail Exchanger). The two that I circled in the picture below were missing until I did the restore.
So that was last night, and the syncing is still not happening between my BlackBerry and the server. I also confirmed (funny how tech support never asked me this) that wireless reconciliation is enabled for both contacts and memos. When I did the restore it did say that it could take an hour to take effect, and sometimes up to 48 hours. Maybe I just need to wait? It's been about 14 hours now.
Oh and side note, my howardforums subscription email notifications conveniently stopped as soon as I did this. I very much doubt that it's related, as all other email is being received fine.
