Basicaly, the only known application to open this file is 'ABC Amber BlackBerry Converter' (link can be found above), which is free to use for 30 days and then $19.95 to purchase.
If this is the answer you were/weren't looking for, please let us know.

One could download Blackberry Simulator software from Research in Motion from na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/downloads/simulators.jsp, then using the standard Blackberry Deskop Software (also obtainable for free from RIM if needed) the .IPD can be restored to this simulated Blackberry. The simulated Blackberry can then be synchronized with a traditional PIM application, like MS Outlook. This solution is a bit cumbersome but it will work and uses software which is not trialware. Hope this helps. Your friendly neighborhood Blackberry Technical Support Rep.

I SOLVED my problem that I couldnt copy rename or even open the file in a different program like ABC. Reason for my problem with the ipd backup file was because security permission on the file is turned off when on a different computer. when in the explorer window of the folder that the ipd file is located in go to tools>folder options> view> then all the way at the bottom uncheck "use simple file sharing" click ok the right click on the ipd file and go to properties>security>advance>owner then click on your username and make sure it pops up at the "current owner of this item" then click ok and then ok again now right click on the ipd file then go to properties>security>add> then under "enter the object names" type everyone then click ok and click on your username and under "Allow" click "full control" then ok and the file should open with desktop manager. i had the problem all the guys had here and this was my solution hopefully its the same for the rest of you

Anyone in a pinch to recover something specific can open the file in EditPlus, Wordpad, Notepad or any text viewer to get to the information for viewing. If you know what you are looking for you can search the document using the built-in find tools.
You'll obviously be seeing things in their raw format and editing is not possible (DO NOT SAVE YOUR CHANGES!) but the contents of messages, address entries, notes and anything else in the file.
Drag the .ipd file from your backup directory into whatever application you wish to use to view and you can see the information in a fairly ugly but discernable format.
Cheers,
Ryan.

Hey, my blackberry keep going off in the middle of phone calls. It then re-starts automatically and a message pops up: ''verifying security software''. The situation is getting unbearable!

Tryed ACE softwear and did not work for Curve 8310 backup files, anyone else have any ideas?

I have copied my address book over to my laptop from my blackberry but I am unable to opn the ipd file?

Hi,
I have the ABC software on my computer and it seems to work for address book entries but I am more interested in my memos and SMS messages. How do I open these up within the IPD file?
Thanks.

It is possible to copy the file and rename it to "whatever.rtf". The rtf stands for rich text format. It can be open from notepad but it is best for looking up numbers or messages because you have "ctrl+f" find the keyword or name you are trying to find.

Hi,
I have a Nokia 9300 and i took a backup of my contacts and messages. The backup is saved in .nbu. I can't push the backup to my Blackberry as it needs to be in .ipd format. Anyone can please advice where can i get a .nbu to .ipd converter, or is there a way to restore a .bnu file as .ipd? Thanks.

Open it with wordpad, or notepad, and copy the plain text to another application and format it yourself; RIM was too lazy to do anything but make software to back them up. I did a LOT of searching, and couldn't find any software to do this besides a simulator: na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/downloads/simulators.jsp
If you are willing to pay $20 to read a text file, go to www.processtext.com/abcblackberry.html and buy an overpriced license for their software (I'm not gonna, they can go to hell)

The one thing they do have (and I forgot to mention) is a free contact editor, but that is all it will, and is set up to, edit.

Wondered myself what .IPD for and how its organized, came up with this page and still see people get stuck at that. So I decided myself to get motivated and write some code that can parse .IPD info.
Anyhow, my code could read .IPD with a little effort and understand its structure. Except the meaning of some predefined types in its structure, still a question.
Thought this should be useful but the link is dead
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/resources/journals/jan_2006/ipd_file_format.shtml
Anyone know more about it, give me a SHOUT!
I'd like to modify the Service Book data too.

How can I import the IPD file into Microsoft Outlook? Right now IPD is not one of their choices when I try.
