- I had to get a new blackberry curve 8330 from Verizon due to my old one quit working. Before I took it to Verizon I used the Desktop Manager Switch Device Wizard to backup my old device but Verizon kept my old phone so how do I get everything on my new phone? It is wanting me to plug up my old phone again.07-28-09 02:09 PMLike 0

If you ever did an OS upgrade or loaded an application on your BB using Desktop Manager, you can also try looking for a Loaderbackup(date).ipd file in your documents folder. If the date is recent, you can do a Restore from that file. You can also do a selective Restore under Backup/Restore Advanced of just your Address Book and Messages, etc.07-28-09 02:38 PMLike 0 - yes it is the same model. I tried doing a restore but it didnt put my 3rd party apps on there. I will try the other suggestion. Thanks for the help!07-29-09 02:00 PMLike 0

"12) Search your computer Folders & Files for a folder with your PIN # as the name. DEFINITELY check System Files & Hidden Files as well
13) After you find it, copy it & SAVE it to a easy accessible place
14) Go back to the Switch Device Wizard page that we left alone & cancel it. ALSO, check and make sure the folder IS saved before Canceling or the folder will be LOST"07-29-09 02:08 PMLike 0 - I dont know what my pin # was on my old bb. Oh well. I am giving up on it and starting from scratch trying to remember the good stuff I had on there so I can redownload. Thanks for the help though!07-31-09 01:38 PMLike 0

You are looking for a file with a PIN.alx format, also, this file will be in a folder with the same name. So you want to save the folder, not the PIN.alx file to restore from.07-31-09 01:48 PMLike 0 -
