I just changed my PS3 HDD to a new one today. However, after successfully restoring all my data, I went into my trophy collection and it is empty? But when I compare my trophy's with my friends, they're online? Is there a way to place my trophies into my HDD again? The empty trophy collection is rather blan. lol. How do I fix this?

 

Thanks.

Trophies are linked to your PSN account.. so there should be no reason for them to be missing...

Yes, that is the problem though my friend. I thought they automatically reappear onto my hard drive once I sign onto PSN. I know they are not gone because I can view them by comparing trophies with my friends. I just want them back inside the trophy collection folder though under the game data utility. So weird lol

Hmmmm. Usually the trophies synchronize when you go to view them but I don't know what's wrong with it. You better call or email Sony for some real help.

Well I guess thats what the sync does. It sort of burns your progress into your account. Do you need to earn the trophy again for it to show up?

Insert those games into your PS3. The trophies install. They don't just show up unless you've inserted the disc. Make sure you're logged in after that.

hmmm... I have this same exact problem (upgrading my hard drive and losing my trophy collection), but I've never been online with my PS3 before/signed into PSN. My trophies are still gone when I put the old drive back in; not to mention even if I insert those games I had earned those trophies for and play them. So my trophies had to have been stored on my PS3 somewhere, right? so where did they go? hopefully, they aren't gone forever... that would be a lot of wasted time playing COD: World at War and Rock Band.... Thanks for any help!

Yup, you'd think the programming of the game would be smart enough to detect earned trophies... like with HAWX, I've beaten all levels on Elite, and the game definitely still recognizes that I have done that... just no trophies for beating each campaign level appear. Weird. I'll keep messing with it.

Yes, sorry 'bout that. I thought what I did was better than starting a new thread tho, but correct me if I was wrong. Looks like the PS3 will erase your trophies if you perform a backup and have never saved them online to your PSN account before. Oh well. Could be fun earning some of those back I 'spose.

Making a new thread probably would have been the better option, as bumping old threads is against the rules. Just don't do it again. :)
