Hi all -

I did an OS upgrade & evidently I didn't back up my BBIM contacts. Now I'm SMS messaging with a contact who is telling me that on her BBIM list, my number is showing up with a red line thru it.

Anyone else have this happen before??

Unfortunately I don't have all these contacts' PINs or I could perhaps re-request the connection. Not sure what to do here.

To CB People I chat with on BBIM:
If you're one of my old contacts, I'm sorry I lost ya. Send me a PM and we can re-connect.

Hmm. Okay.

Well, I'm not finding the ipb file anywhere...but thanks for the tip. Will keep looking.

The .ipd files are in "My Documents." That's where your backups go by default.

I don't see it in there. I think it's possible I did a shyte job of backing up my BB.

But if you've actually backed it up before (successfully) then the file is in your computer if you hadn't manually deleted it.

Now when you update your OS there's an automatic backup that goes in there. Such as LoaderBackup xx.xx.2009.ipd

Or if your own backup it's Backup xx.xx.2009.ipd

By default they save under "My Documents" and if you're not finding them there then maybe you haven't done a backup then.

Heya & welcome. CB is a great place to learn and there are tons of great people here. Have fun!

Just search your comp for anything ending in a .ipd extension. If it's there you'll find it.

Wow. Alright then. To OP, are you using BBM 5? If so, did you enable wireless backup and/or backup on device?

Dood, this is a very old thread and I'm not sure why it's even still open. I'm on a new BB and on a 5.0 OS now...not having this problem anymore. And thanks to CB, I'm now doing my backups properly and do not anticipate having any problems like the above in the future.
