I have got the free trial version. Your software will not open my IPD file.

I have all my numbers stored in this file and need to transfer them to new blackberry. What do I need to do? I am very frustrated that I can not open this file from my PC and transfer the address book to my black berry

Why bother having a blackberry if the files do not work with your computer? Will be returning it tomorrow to Verizon store. Totally dissatisfied and getting rid of FIOS too.

For all with Blackberrys and issues saving the backup files.

I work for a cellular provider(unable to release names and specifics due to this new policy crap), and I am trained in technical support for Blackberrys.

There is entirely far too much hassle with your basic backup with these IPD files.

I HIGHLY recommend you to go to www.att.com/bbdownloads and click the DOWNLOAD button.

If you are a Mac user, be downloading the PocketMac. The requirements are different with Mac, your link is http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/desktop/mac.jsp

Either link will require some information, but I believe that you can leave most of it blank. Just follow the prompts, don't panic about anything, it's really as easy as it's stated.

The Desktop Manager is your one stop shop for everything.

Syncs all emails, calendar, contacts, etc.; Allows you to transfer and save any music, video, random files between your computer and your phone; Desktop Manager will notify you of any new updates available to help your device stay updated with Blackberry's technology; And if you have your company (enterprise) email, you can also maintain these with the assistance of your it dept.

Most importantly...

IT BACKUPS & RESTORES ALL YOUR DATA WITHOUT THE HASSLE OF IPD OR ANY OTHER KIND OF FILES!!!

It's the only thing we recommend to our customers and it prevents, no joke, 98% of your storage, backup, and restore issues.

bb helpline says that we cannot view ipd files. The only way it can, is transfer the data into other smartphones. I haven't tried it it, but they claim that it could be done,

Many people have gotten rid of that piece of garbage Blackberry and have their contacts stored on their computer. They want to put them in a csv or text files and import them to their new phone. My virus program tells me the ABC Amber Blackberry converter has a virus and won't install it. I can look at the addresses on the ABC editor but once again, we cannot get at it easily. Cut, paste and OCR seems to be the only way if you have lots of them.

I also returned the Blackberry and got a real pda phone, Iphone. Why can't someone just write a simple script to read ipd files? I think I will learn programming and do it myself. Haha

We want to be able to view and convert IPD files to text or some other format that we can work with. Most of us do NOT have a Blackberry any more and are trying to get our contacts to our NEW phone, Iphone in my instance.

We returned our Blackberrys because it is an overrated piece of garbage. I now have a phone that can read pdf files, I can see the keyboard and my fingers can type much easier now and many more basic features than should come with a phone.

Hi, I was trying to load the new program for blackberries onto my friends phone but the program didn't complete and it saved the contents of her phone in an IPD file. I paid for the ABC program but have received nothing on it and I need to get at least her pictures and her phone book back

HELP!! ;)

I got a blackberry and did a data transfer to my computer and it saved it as a .cab file and it was able to open with "windows explorer" but now when I do a data transfer it only saves it as a .ipd.

How can I switch it back to a .cab file so I am able to view it?

How do I open .ipd files? Bought Blackberry and saved a backup of the hand-held on the laptop via old the Blackberry's software. But how do I open the files now? What program do I need to download?

I was updating my blackberry and in the 9 of 11 task it had a fatal error while loading. My blackberry seems to be completely erased and I do not have access to any of the info previously on my blackberry.

I have a IPD loader backup file on my laptop but it will not open. Is there a customer support number I can call to get assistance?

Simply use ABC Amber BlackBerry Converter and it will open and show the content of an ipd file.

These days we expect more from our devices. IPD format that allows backup only and no viewing on our PCs just doesn't cut it! The technology users of the world need cross compatibility of our various devices, otherwise we might as well be in the manual type writer age!

My desktop manager stops when I am trying to restore the .ipd file to my Blackberry and says my Blackberry is not connected properly (it is).

Frustrating as all my contacts and texts are on there.

How do you supposed to read the data you just downloaded on your PC as back up?

I want to get a new BlackBerry and make sure I don't lose any info.
I see a lot of people have this problem. This should be an automatic application when you install your BlackBerry in the first place.

I'm a new Blackberry owner who has backed up all my hard work of data entries. The backup was successful, but I'm unable to read ANY of the files that are in IDP format. Is there any way to open without buying a program!

Does the ipd file store any deleted text messages? Purged files?

Where do they go if they aren't stored?

I saved several text messages and only some come back up with the converter. How do you see the whole list of messages deleted?

My blackberry is acting up. So I have made a backup of my phone number with IPD extension, however I am not able to open it with Excel. Do you have any recommendation on how to open IPD file with Excel or something similar.

You can get some numbers if you were to open the file with notepad, then scroll to near bottom.

good luck
