Desktop Software for PC

[frustrated999]

Hi,

I looking for the simpliest way to transfer information from a 1gb mem. Card to a new 2gb mem. Card, as the 1gb is full and can't store any more information

I will be using the desktop softaware for pc (lastest version)

Thanks

Hello,

IMHO...the simplest way would be (for the copy steps) to ignore the BB and the Desktop Software entirely. Insert the 1GB card into a PC card reader slot and copy everything to the computer. Then eject the 1GB card and replace it with a 2GB card, and copy everything from the computer to the 2GB card. Be sure to have formatted the 2GB card in the BB first, though, so that you have the proper folder structure in place for the BB to use.

A secondary approach would be to use Mass Storage Mode to copy everything from the 1GB card while it's inside the BB to the PC. Then, swap the cards in the BB and again use Mass Storage Mode to copy back from the computer to the 2GB card.

Good luck!

Thanks for that !
The second option seems best, however can u let me know step by step how to it.

Here are several relevant articles:

• KB11879 What is mass storage mode
• KB13564 How to enable or disable mass storage mode on the BlackBerry smartphone.
• KB23450 Copy documents to a BlackBerry smartphone using Mass Storage Mode
• KB29523 How to manually transfer files between a BlackBerry smartphone and a Windows computer
• KB23386 How to copy files to BlackBerry smartphone from a computer

None are written for the complete process you are asking about, so you will need to use each that applies, and perhaps modify it a little. For example, if the KB talks only about copying from the computer to the BB, then you simply reverse it so as to use it to copy from the BB to the computer.

Here is another thread that discusses even more (though it's a tad out of date regarding versions, but is still applicable as to the concepts):
