  4. someone help me !
    i backed up my memory card on my pc then formated the memory card. AFter i went to content manager, i tapped restore but it said there was no backup files.
    Someone please help because all my downloaded games were on the memory card and now the pc but i cant access them.
  5. Should've made it so that you can initiate a backup from the destination i.e. PC or PS3, instead of only through Content Manager, in case of a corrupted memory card. Or, not use proprietary memory to start with. Backing up to PS Plus should be opt out, not opt in
  6. I hate when they upload a video tutorial and don't fully explain the process.

    Let me add a few tips:
    - It's best to have everything updated before starting. Be careful with PC/Mac if using an old OS. Some of them are no longer supported by Content Manager. In my case, I couldn't download Content Manager on my old Mac OS X 10.5, so I was forced to do this process with my PS3.

    - Don't need to worry about PS Vita OS, native applications and settings, that's saved on a separate memory inside the Vita (good thinking on Sony's part).

    - If the Memory Card you're inserting is new, the Vita will start like it normally does, or it'll asked to format it. If the Memory Card is used, it'll asked to "Link" your PSN account for use with that specific Memory Card... select "yes" to continue, and then "yes" again for the warning confirmation. After that, you'll be ready for the restore.

    - If you no longer gonna use the Memory Card you just replaced, you can format it before removing it to erase all the data inside by going to "settings" >"format" > "format memory card."

    - After doing everything and restoring all the information everything was as exactly how I left it.

    EDIT: ^Except the trophies (just noticed today). When you open the trophy application, you will see the synced trophies on your PSN, but not on the PS Vita. I immediately discover that you recover them one by one by loading each game, but the problem still lies with those game you don't own anymore. As of now, I still haven't found an answer on how to sync them all back into the Vita.
  7. can anyone tell me what hot shots golf game the background music is from, thanks so much
  8. I have question
  9. this is how the 3DS to new 3DS transfer should have been like
  10. hey i want to format my psvita coz i want to change my account but i dont want to delete my save files in my borderlands 2 can i get my save files if i do this?
  11. Me robaron mi ps4 hay una manera de desactivarla como mi ps4 principal ?
    Quiero activar una nueva ps4 que acabo de comprar como mi consola principal, por favor espero que me ayuden!
  12. I want to use my other psn account on my ps vita.  When I backup my vita, can I use that data to access my new psn account and will all my games be available?
  13. I'm just no trying it, I hope it doesn't delete all my game memory on my vita
  14. doesnt work on pc i always get error c0-8501-4 nothing happens can anyone help because play station doesnt care
  15. Isnt working cant open the file
    Windows 8.1
  16. I get this error code everytime I perform the update on either the PS3 or computer, co-15008-4. The error code appears after about half way through it. How do I fix this.
  17. i think its stupid that you need internet connection just to save stuff, or use it as a controller!, the ps3 and vita is right there, you shouldn't need internet for that!
  18. If your backing up on a ps3 will the game data from the vitas memory card back up on the ps3?
  19. When you do this, what exactly gets backed up? Your saves and Trophies and stuff or what? And could you restore them on a different Vita if you wanted to?
  20. Sony i love you i always hated having to restart my games since i didnt know how to back up!
