Transfer of Data

Hey guys!

 

I just bought a new 16GB SD card for my 3DS XL and wanted to transfer my content from my old 6gb card to the new one. I was able to load them on to my computer, drag and drop the data from one card to the other. I redownlaoded all my games and saw that my animal crossing pictures were still on the new card so I thought it all went well. Now, when I open my games, there are no save files. Animal Crossing won't read my save files nor will Pokemon X or any game I had previously. Anyone have any answers as to how I can get my save files to work? Thanks!

3DS XL wont let me delete software titles

When I go into System Settings > Data Management > Nintendo 3DS > Software > and select a software, I press Delete > Delete...it says "Deleting", but then a message saying "Could not be Deleted" pops up. I am not trying to delete the built in apps, I am trying to delete some old demos i have. I figured it was my SD card, so I went out and bought a new one, but the problem is still happening.

Scratch or Crack Touch Screen Repair

February 9, 2014, 9:49 pm

I don't exactly know what to say, but I guess I'll try to get to the point.

 

I was playing Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Sign with my friends when they were over, and I usually press the stylus on the screen a little hard, but at the same time, I usually hold my 3DS up when I play, so I tend to pull it a bit back from the stylus or whatever, so it doesn't scratch. It's kinda hard to say. Anyway, at one point, I put my 3DS on the down when I was playing (I was still playing on it, but it was just resting on the ground.), and when I was trying to use my stylus to catch a Pokemon on there, I heard this dreadful sound and felt something too. It turns out I either deeply scratched my touch screen, or cracked it a bit. It works normally still, but it bugs the heck out of me, plus it might get worse, so I was thinking of sending it in for a repair.

 

I'm a bit worried though, 'cause I don't want to lose my data (espically my Streetpass Data) when and if I get it repaired, and I really don't want to send in my SD card. There is nothing wrong with the data, so I don't see why the data would be deleted, or for a reason to send in my SD card. I know for sure that the only problem is the touch screen scratch/crack, because I'm really careful with my 3DS, and I tend to notice a lot of details that other people don't notice because they're to small or whatever. And this 3DS is sort of new because I take really good care of it even though I had it for a little less then a year, because my old 3DS had this totally weird malfunction, and Nintendo had no idea what happened and couldn't fix it, so they sent me a new one. Thank gosh the SD card wasn't corrupted.

 

Also, is this covered under warrenty? I had my warrenty renewed I believe when I sent it in to get it repaired when my old 3DS malfunctioned.

 

Afterwards, would a screen protecter help a lot against scratches and cracks?

 

And one more question (I think). I remember a brought a pack of Wii U Styluses that were Nintendo Licensed or whatever. Is it safe to use a Wii U Stylus for the 3DS?

 

One more thing I'm going to say. I heard a lot of people said that the 3DS screens rub against each other when you close it and it gets scratched, but I never had this problem, and haven't seen a single scratch from this on both screens (or any scratches or cracks for that matter on the top screen.), so it could not have any scratches or cracks from that.

 

I hope that this isn't such a big ordeal or whatever as I'm making it out to be...

When I go into the eShop to download a demo (all I have tried so far) i get this error code "007-2990". I have never had any problems with downloading anything in the past. I copied my data and formatted my SD card, put the data back on and tried it again...same error. I dont know what else to do other than format the system, but I dont want to lose all of my street pass puzzles, friends, friend code, etc.

Both of my sons have 3ds... on one when you open the eshop it shows all sorts of downloadable games and demos.  On the other one it only shows a couple of updates and games you can purchase in stores.  From what I can tell they have the exact same settings as far as internet and parental controls.  How do if I fix this?

My 2GB SD card that came with my 3DS is full and I was wondering if it's at all possible to keep everything I have on that card and when I get a new (Bigger GB) one switch the cards back and forth depending on which eshop games I'm wanting to play at the moment without having to transfer all the data to the new card?

How much would a screen repair cost?

I bought a pair of screen protectors for my 3DS, the bottom one worked fine, however the top screen was a pain to apply, I ended up taking it off, then I discovered little marks that were never there before. I had my 3DS since launch and never damaged it, I discovered they were actuall dot scratches that are kind of visible with the 3D on.  The problem isn't that severe but it seems to bother me bit when playing. No its not in warranty so I'll know I have to pay for repair, So what should I do?

Serious SDHC discussion; at my wit's end.

June 9, 2013, 7:18 pm

First, the background:

 

I have two 3DS systems with 2GB SD cards, and one 3DS XL system with a 4GB SDHC card. All three cards came furnished with the systems, all three cards work flawlessly, and I even successfully transferred data between one of the 2GB SD cards, to the 4GB SDHC card during a system transfer, simply using a Windows 7 PC with a cheap no brand card reader.

 

The issue:

 

About three months back, I purchased a 32GB SDHC card when I was transferring my data from the 3DS system to the 3DS XL system. This card functioned swimmingly in the PC using the aforementioned no brand card reader. However, when I transferred my data to the card and installed it in the 3DS XL system, the card would randomly "disconnect" and all the visible icons stored on the card would disappear. Power cycling the system would cause the icons to return. When playing games stored on the 32GB SDHC card, the games would crash and additional card errors would appear. Following the advise of the Nintendo tech support forum and web entries, I formatted the card using SDFormatter V3.1, as well as followed the official step by step procedure provided in the web entry (however spartan it actually is). After several attempts, including multiple web searches and independent forums, I chalked it up to a bunk SDHC card.

 

Today, I thought I would give it a second go. I purchased a second 32GB SDHC card and I am currently going through the exact same song and dance as before, only this time the system only detects the card for a few seconds before flagging an error, rather than several minutes. I find it unlikely that I purchased two bad SDHC cards from two different electronic stores, even though both cards work without fault on my various PC and Linux systems.

 

Conclusion:

 

I would like to know Nintendo's default allocation sizes for the 2GB SD and 4GB SDHC cards, if these allocation sizes should change with the total size of the SD card (the allocation size changes the total size of the stored look up table), any other setup parameters that may affect opertion, which parameters to select using the SDFormatter (FULL(OverWrite) FORMAT, FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT OFF/ON, ect. Look through nested options menus.), and which known SD card make and models don't work well with the 3DS systems. Basically, I am hoping for a fairly robust technical procedure to get a working 32GB card in my 3DS XL system containing the original data from the 4GB card.

 

I appreciate the help, and given the amount of research I put into this, I think a true technical response would greatly aid a multitude of individuals across the planet.

About a month after getting a new Luigis mansion edition 3ds, about 1/6th of the screen became completely unresposive. I have a warranty but I don't know if I will be able to keep the preinstalled game if I get a replacement. What should I do?

Just some questions about Pokemon Bank

Before I get pokemon bank, I just have a few questions about it regarding the fee of 5 dollars per year.

 

1. How do you pay the five dollars (through a credit card, out of your eshop balance, etc.)

 

2. When is the 5 dollars due? (at the beginning of th year, at the end?)

 

3.  (I think I know the answer to this one, but I want to make sure)  Does the year start that you have to pay before, or after the free trial?

 

 

   Thank you in advance for any response.

Pokemon X Glitch after update

Hello,

This is my first post on this site. I downloaded the digital copy of Pokemon X when it first came out. I was able to avoid the Lumiose City glitch and updated to version 1.2 with success. However, right after I updated, the game started glitching. Every time I try to check my bag, the screen goes black and tells me to reatart the system. This happens whether I'm just walking around and want to check the bag or if I'm in battle and want to heal my pokemon. Anything involving the bag makes the screen go black. I have tried re-downloading, repairing from the eshop, and deleting game data but none of it has changed anything. This started happening a while ago, right when the version 1.2 update was realeased, but I haven't had time to play lately, but now I do and I am still having the same issue. Any recommendations on where I should go from here? -Thanks

Almost Everything on my SD Card Disappeared

I was adding new music to my 3DS SD card (I was adding quite a lot, and my SD card was close to full) and when I put it back in my 3DS, everything except the music on it was gone! I deleted all the music I added on it from the computer and put it back in my 3DS a second time, but it didn't fix the problem. When I tapped the Nintendo eShop application, it gave me the message "To use this service, you must accept the terms in the latest version of the Nintendo 3DS User Agreement." as if it was my first time using it or something. Does anybody know what happened and why it happened so suddenly? I've had my 3DS since the launch date, and this is the first time I'm having a problem like this. Any help would be appreciated.

Problem Linking Wii U NNID to 3DS

So last night, I downloaded the update, installed, everything went fine until it came time to link my NNID to my 3DS.  I want to link the NNID that I created on my Wii U, but when I enter the information and click "Link," it attempts to load, or connect or whatever for about a minute, before dumping me right back at the same screen.  It's connected to the internet.  There is no error message.  I have double and triplechecked my information, I have retyped it, I have turned it off, gone to sleep, and came back to it to attempt it later.  There's nothing at all to suggest what the problem might be and I'm at my wit's end.  Ideas?

I have a new 3DS XL with The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds preinstalled on it, and I want to transfer the data from my old 3DS onto my new XL. Would doing a system transfer cause me to lose my Zelda game in the process or would I keep it along with my old system's data?

It's weird because I can't seem to connect even though my friends can, there's no trouble with the router, but I think it's my 3Ds causing the problem

3DS keeps disconnecting from the internet.

I've had my 3DS for almost a year and I've never had problems with this until recently. It connects to the internet no problem, but after about a minute it disconnects and won't reconnect again for a while. It's been doing this for the past couple days and I don't know why. I don't think it's because of unstable/slow internet either because I've been using the internet just fine on everything else and I've used far worse internet on my 3DS before with no problem either.  I know it's not a problem with my 3DS either since I just set up another 3DS next to mine and they both disconnected at exactly the same time and couldn't reconnect for a while.

Nothing about my settings or setup has changed and reseting my 3DS/router/modem/wireless didn't work.

Accidentally created seperate NNID accounts for Wii U and 3DS...

So I just got my Wii U today, and as it was guiding me through the set up I didn't realize the Nintendo Network ID it asked me for was the same thing I very quickly made up in order to download stuff on my 3DS last week, so I created a new one and unluckily chose a different username so it didn't register with me what I'd done. My bad, lol. I've already downloaded my copy of the Wind Waker HD onto the Wii U, and I have a few downloads on the 3DS as well as a rather extensive friend list that I don't want to lose. Seeing as the only solution I've found is to delete the NNID off of one of the systems, which kills the downloads and friends list, it looks like I'm stuck.

 

...My question is, does it matter at all if I have two different NNIDs? Like will this ever have any effect on me in the future? These are two completely different systems anyways, and they don't share eShop downloads, do they? If the purpose of having the same NNID for both systems is purely for the convenience of sharing a username and having all download records in one spot, then I really don't care. I just wanted to make sure.

3DS will not read cartridges

I have had my 3DS for about 9-10 months now, and it has been great. Today I was playing animal crossing a lot, and everything was working fine. It read cartridges with no issue and they showed up on the home screen. I downloaded the pokebank afterwards and got that working. When I went to download the poketransfer to get my pokemon from Black 2, Poketransfer would not recognize the cartridge and would send me back to the main menu. I exited to the home menu and the game did not show up, there was just a blank square. I tried putting in several games and none of them will read. I am assuming that I will need to send my 3DS to be repaired, but my question is concerning saves.

 

I have animal crossing and pokemon y downloaded from the eshop, and I downloaded them before the nintendo network was set up. Will I still have these games when my 3ds comes back, or are they linked to the console? Also, are my saves going to be gone forever if my 3ds is repaired? I have been working on my saves for these games since they came out and I really, really don't want to lose them. Is there anything I can do?

Migrate 3DS SD card data on same system with new Nintendo Network ID

Hi All,

 

Hoping you can help me with this problem.  I setup my daughter's 3ds with my Nintendo Network ID not realizing that I should create one for her.  Realizing this I found out you can't just change the Nintendo Network ID on the 3ds.  Instead you need to format the system memory.  Before I did this I removed the SD card just to make sure it wouldn't get overwritten and went through the setup including creating a Nintendo Network ID for her.

 

The problem is in the new setup I can't see her old data or a way to restore the old data such as Mii Plaza and Mii Maker, etc.  I checked the SD card and all the data is still there, but must not be accessable from the new setup/account.

 

Any suggestions on how to migrate the old data back to the new setup?

 

Thanks,

Chris
