I was having the same problem. You dont need to open it. When you open the desk top manager click on backup/restore. Choose restore. I just did it and everything including my pictures were transferred to the new phone. It was really easy once I realized I didn't need to open it. Hope this helps everyone out.

Having same problem as most. I now have the motorola cliq. Is there anyway I can retrieve my address phone book from the Black berry desktop manager to download it on my cliq?

Had to wipe my BB for a number os strange issues. Backed the IPD file and can "view" contacts, pictures etc. All I want is to get my pictures? Before I shell out any $, can I save the photos using ABC Amber, or is there another way to retrieve my photos?

Tried to backup my address book cause it's very important. I downloaded DeskTopManager and it told me I needed to upgrade my OS or I could not use it. So I downloaded/installed and without any warning it wiped out all my files!

I have a slightly twisted issue with my ipd files. I use a BB 9500 storm which crashed recently. To bring it back to life I installed the BB 5.0 OS.The good news was that I often backed up my phone on my laptop but shortly before the phone crashed, I had problems with my laptop and formatted it. Before I formatted the laptop though, I had the (laptop) data backed up on an external hard disk but the hard disk didn't pick up the ipd files (unfortunately I only got to notice this after my phone crashed).In an attempt to retrieve my contacts, I used the get-data-back application to recover files from the formatted laptop. Now I have the ipd files and they don't seem corrupted but the BB desktop manager and the ABC converter do not recognise the ipd files as blackberry files.All I really need are my contacts. Any kind ideas?

What a useless backup system BB has. I cannot transfer contact list from my other phones to BB. Cannot open, view, add or edit the BB contact list.I refuse to transfer the contact list and other contents, one by one from my Nokia to the BB. My Nokia phones are a breeze to use, backup, edit, add, delete as far as the various contents are concerned.Made a serious mistake getting the BB. What a sheer waste of money.

If you want to find a particular number from your address book, just open the file with wordpad and search for the name. Once you've found the name, after a few random characters, you should see the number.

I have recently replaced my dopod with a Blackberry. Since they are both MS compliant, I thought it would be easy to restore my dopod backed up file (in MS Outlook) into my BB. Bad assumption! Everytime I select Restore in the BB desktop Manager main menu, it starts looking for a *.ipd file. HELP

Restoring

Ron, You don't use the restore feature. You must configure synchronization in BB Desktop Manager to sync the Outlook data to your BB.

Download the blackberry simulator, enable usb connection under the simulate tab, then restore data using BB desktop manager. I tried it and it works.http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/resources/simulators.jsp

lost my phone, but have a recent backup. however I encrypted my data like a doofus and the amber or magicc-berry ipd readers won't see it. BB Manager will not lift the encryption without a bb connection. Is there a way to decrypt this file without a phone?

Ashraf: Your tool worked when no others would. My wife's backup couldn't be restored using other tools after a failed web update. Your tool was able to get to the memos and export them! Issue solved and hours of lost research restored (and exported). Thanks!

I backed up all my files to my BB desk Manager but the "Purged" file is greyed out. How can I gain access to that specific file?

I did a backup and I can only locate my .cab file and not the .ipd file. Is there anyway I can convert the .cab to a .ipd file.

How do I transfer all my data from my old Nokia 9500 communicator to my Blackberry? Is there a way for me to convert my data, which is in excel file, to an IPD file?

Thank you Jon for your excellent advice. I downloaded the Blackberry simulator...restored my .idp backup file and then synchronized it with Outlook and there you go...I have my contact list.

Thanks a lot guyz... Downloaded it from processtext.comCould open using "Open IPD or BBB" from file menu and then you have tabs called Messages, Contacts, SMS....Needed to copy just the contacts so Click on the Contacts and you can at a time Save 10 contacts using Trial version. I needed it for Excel file and got it using XLS (MS Excel).

You can view in Wordpad. It's pretty messy, but readable...this is the free way. The other way is to convert the ipd file, but this way is not free. Those were the two options advanced tech support through my wireless carrier gave me. I was thinking though, if you sync with outlook, couldn't you view everything in outlook, instead of trying to open the ipd file?
