I keep getting this every single time I try to use the Pokebank.  I can connect to the e-shop fine, trade, battle and use the GTS fine, but every single time for like an hour now, this. There is no explanation anywhere on what this error code is.

Hello! I have seen lots of people saying their 3ds is stolen/lost so I am wondering if there is anything I can do about it before it happens to me. For example, what apple does for the ipod touch/iphone/ipad at me.com. Is their a way to track it with a serial number?

Just a few hours ago I was transferring my data from my 4GB SD card to a 16GB one. I checked every downloaded games that I have and all were working just fine except Pokemon Shuffle. The save data happened to have been corrupted while on transfer. Is there any way that I can get the data back? Will providing my client number for the game help? My concern is that all the things that I obtained from timed events in the game will be lost forever so I was hoping I could at least get those back (I managed to get the Lucarionite back from one of the events from my old file so I'd like to think there must be a way for this) Any kind of help would be appreciated.

What happens when you start a brand new game on a 3ds, for example I come home with a new copy of nintendogs + cats and play it on my 3ds and start the game and everything but then you play it on another 3ds for example again, if my 3ds breaks or I lose it but i still have nintendogs + cats and get a new 3ds or get it repaired would I still have my save data for my cartridge games or would I have to start over?

I was able to connect to the internet to receive the Torchic distribution but everytime I try to connect with the PSS to access trades, battles or game sync I get a general error or 006-0502.

I looked up the code and followed the steps provided but it didn't help. I'm using a red Pokemon X/Y 3DSXL. Does anyone have any suggestions or can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Towards the end of April, I was playing Pokemon Black 2 on my 3DS. I closed the lid one night and let it sleep. Over the course of the night the battery died. I woke up the next morning and tried to turn it on. It turned on for a little but then died again because it didn't have enough juice. I plugged in the charger to let it charge, but it never fully came on again. When I turn it on, both of the backlights come on, the power light comes on, the charging light comes on, and the wifi light will come on. The 3D slider light does not. If I hold the power button, but screens turn on and the 3D light and displays the regualr "In Sleep Mode, the system can..." message. From this screen I can power off fully, but when I try to go to the Home screen, it lags indefinitely.

With my 3DS in this state I've been looking for solution, I found out about the system update screen where you turn the system on holding L, R, A and up. This worked fine, both of my screens turned on and I could update, if there was an update to update. I've waited months for the update that came out a few days ago hoping that this would fix my problem. It did not. I contacted NIntendo about this problem and they didn't know what to do with it either, finally teling me to send it in for 100 bucks to fix it.

My 3DS is a launch day Black 3DS with ambassador games and everything. Every 3DS with this specific problem I've read up on so far have been 3DS from that window with ambassador games and all which leads me to believe that it might have been a defect with that specific batch of 3DS's. I made this thread to see if anyone else had the same 3DS as me that has this problem and if ANYONE has found a fix for it yet that doesn't involve me giving Nintendo 100 more dollars after the 250 bucks I paid for it at launch. Please help guys. Thank you in advance.

The new update killed my ability to use the nintendo zone. I have 2 3ds xl. One updated last night. I went to a McDonalds and the non updated one streetpassed and the nintendo zone icon said I was in the zone. The update one said I was and when I had it search it said "Nope no nintendo zone here" even though my other one and my daughters ds both said yes the is a zone here. So I updated my other 3ds xl and as soon as it restarted it could not log into the zone and said there wasn't on available, but my daughters 3ds, which has not updated, said the zone was still there and she could log in.

So how do I fix this and is there anyway to get rid of the update? We live in a very small town and the McDonalds is one of the few places we can streetpass.

HELP!

Thanks

Every time I connect to the internet while playing X and Y, after about three minutes of being connected, I get automatically disconnected with an error meeage saying "Connection to the server was interrupted".  I have no problem connecting back to the internet after I get this message but then in the same amount of time after being connected, I get disconnected and get the same message.  I have a router that uses a WEP setup and have never had this problem connecting in any other game.  The real problem is that I go to college where I have no real control over the internet and all I was able to do was plug my own router into their grounded internet connection.  I have tried setting the DNS and IP address to automatic but this didn't change anything either.  Does anyone know why I am getting this message and if there is anything I can do to fix it?

now, usually i buy hard copies of my game, so i've never really had to worry about this kind of thing before. however, the new ace attorney game, dual destinies, was download only, and from the start i was having issues with it. mind you, the other few times i downloaded something from the eshop went fine, the most recent being the patch for my pokemon x, which i downloaded not too long before this game. with dual destinies, though, i've always seemed to have problems downloading anything

after purchasing it, downloading the game itself took several tries over two or three days, and finally i got it after putting my system in sleep mode to do it. however, the game has dlc, which i can't seem to get. the one i've been trying to download is a free minor dlc, so i haven't been as concerned about it, but recently they added an extra bonus case to the game, which is gonna cost me, and though i really want to play it, i don't want to pay for something i can't even get.

everytime i try to download the dlc, it looks like it's going fine until it hits a certain percentage (it changes each time) and freezes for a long while before the error code 009-2913 pops up. i'm out of ideas and i'm really starting to get frustrated with this. like i said, i had no problems prior to this game, so i'm not sure if it's just the game itself giving me problems. (and i've checked with my other friends who have it and they've had absolutely no problems with it.) please help if you can, thank you!

What happens when you start a brand new game on a 3ds, for example I come home with a new copy of nintendogs + cats and play it on my 3ds and start the game and everything but then you play it on another 3ds for example again, if my 3ds breaks or I lose it but i still have nintendogs + cats and get a new 3ds or get it repaired would I still have my save data for my cartridge games or would I have to start over?

I recently bought a blue 3DS. I've been trying to update. When I first got it I was visiting family, so when I got the "An error has occurred" message, I just figured their internet was slow. When I got home ( we have really fast internet ), I tested it out again. I got home 3 days ago and it's still not working. I tried to google the problem, but most of the answers were a month old and said nintendo was having site traffic problems or something, so I decided to post my own here. The farthest my 3DS has gotten with the error message is about 1/10 of the way. I have no idea what to do. Here is some information about my internet and 3DS:

I use airport utility, which is high speed internet for mac.

My 3DS does connect to the internet, it's just something that the update does.

Ver: 1.1.0-0U

I live in the united states.

Firewall is off! ( no bridge mode )

P.S I figured it may have something to do with so many updates at once. I've got the original version, there's been about 4 updates since then.If theres a way to do one update at a time i figured it might help.

Thanks for any responses,

~Fvpm

Nintendo eshop won't load and I got a messege that said "An error has occurred. Please try again later. If the problem persists, please visit support.nintendo.com." My sisters, who also own a 3DS, are having this problem too. What should we do?

So I bought the new 3ds xl monster hunter edition on release that came with MH4U digital version and the 4gb microSD card and now i have come to the point where the 4gb is not enough space so i bought a recommended SanDisk Extreme microSDHC 32gb to replace it.

The Problem is now that after i have followed the official guide, none of the data from the old SD(4gb) show up in the new SD(32GB).

I even formatted the new SD and i have followed the guide yet when i startup the 3ds with the new SD(32GB) none of the saves/software/extra data/add-on content show up. Its just shows up empty except for the fact that there is a difference in the amount of blocks depending on if the new SD(32GB) actually is empty or not.

At this point I don't know what to do and searching for a solution on Google have been unsuccessful so far.

Just a few hours ago I was transferring my data from my 4GB SD card to a 16GB one. I checked every downloaded games that I have and all were working just fine except Pokemon Shuffle. The save data happened to have been corrupted while on transfer. Is there any way that I can get the data back? Will providing my client number for the game help? My concern is that all the things that I obtained from timed events in the game will be lost forever so I was hoping I could at least get those back (I managed to get the Lucarionite back from one of the events from my old file so I'd like to think there must be a way for this) Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Okay, so I just had a very, very close shave. I'd beaten the main game of an eShop-downloaded Pokemon: Y Version about a week ago, and have since been working on making some competitive online battling teams while filling in the Pokedex as a side-project. I thought I was done for the night, but one of my friends needed something, so I went to open it up.

That's when I saw this before the intro cinematic even played:

"The save game data is corrupted.

Refer to the electronic manual for details."

Natrually I was very concerned. I had no desire to just lose 220+ hours of time and effort, so I opened the manual hoping for a way to recover my corrupted data, maybe by loading a backup of my SD Card data.

The manual plainly told me that loading a backup would not restore my save game data.

This nearly made me quite literally throw my 3DS out the window in rage, but I decided to channel that anger into proving the manual wrong and searched up some fixes. Only two possibilities turned up, found on these forums:

1) Having the SD Card read by an external source (i.e. copying data from it to your computer).

2) Constantly restarting the game and praying it would jostle the game data into suddenly working again.

Now, this time things worked out; the first solution worked for me. and Pokemon Y is working just fine now. But this was still a seriously close call that could happen again at any moment, and I've seen cases on these forums that weren't so easily fixed. So I have to ask this:

Why can't we preserve and backup our save game data of Pokemon X and Y?

I know the obvious answer I'm going to get is some vein of "because of hackers and piracy", but my impression was that these were already taken care of as best as possible, hackers by the "Bad Egg" error thing and piracy by the 3DS-eShop linking. I know there are always a myriad of people trying to break these games over their knees, but to be frank, these people deserve whatever errors or lawsuits they get. The rest of us who instead play the game legally have to deal with errors like this with no way of reversing the damage other than to completely restart, and it is not at all fair, nor does it seem worth the trade-off.

Before anyone asks, the corruption that happened in my game was an entirely random event. I save often, I've never recieved a "Bad Egg", I bought the game right off of the eShop on launch day, and the closest thing I've done to cheating is save scumming when breeding Pokemon and not getting a favorable result in order to save time. This random corruption was a major eye opener to what hundreds of other people must have had happen to them also, and I'm not about to turn a blind eye even if I did fix my data.

The point is: in this day and age where info and data can be stored on nearly anything with nearly any means, hacking and piracy notwithstanding, there needs to be a reliable way for the innocent consumers to backup and recover the save data for a mere video game. Is there any way to make this possible? I'd rather not lose 220+ hours of work again and not be able to get it back this time...
