hi there,
thank you for your post. I try to follow your steps however my blackberry bold 9000 dosent have the Service book option is it possible that have different name to it
Are you using your blackberry with a BIS or BES server?
I am using personal BBB9000
I had my work email set up on it and I guess may be the IT department have set up the company security settings. I have wipe all the data on the blackberry but still no success
They can resend your service books from the server. If you have wiped it, it will loose the connection to the server.
awesome, thank you!
worked in 2011 on my brand new blackberry.
question — do i have to keep doing this in order to get it to keep backing up those greyed out items?
The items will be backed up to the server. It should also backup with desktop backup but check to be sure.
This is just to stop you overwriting data when connected to BES
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thanks you
hhhh, thank you
