• BlackBerry Smartphones Can I retrieve contact information for a database without the BlackBerry

  This is my story - a couple of weeks, I dropped my 8130 Pearl in a large cup of water. After miraculously, he came back to life, I decided that it was time to SAVE my contact... information so I used the version of the office for 4.3.0.17 Manager do... Only, I clicked on "Addresses", which I guess means contacts. I joke that my poor BlackBerry not - the VERY NEXT DAY, went into the pool with me. Now, despite the fact that I just mentioned after swimming, I actually do not lead a lavish lifestyle... I live in the desert, and I had to enter my poor toddler, overheated in the pool as soon as possible. I have no cell phone insurance, but I don't have the $50 deductible to get a new BlackBerry. Now I use a Casio g opportunity ' Boulder area. I had so much contact info, I need. So, here is my question. Is there a way to convert information database (IPD file) I saved in a word document, or other legible form so I can get all my contacts?

  Thank you in advance,

  Crystal

  Crystal, Hello and welcome to the Forums of Support BlackBerry.com.

  Yes, google search for ABC Amber IPD Converter and use it. It is not free, but the trial software will manage a limited number of records.

  If you end up having a new BlackBerry, you can restore this backup IPD file on your new device.

• BlackBerry smartphones can not save device, no BB browser and cannot email a/c configuration

  Info on the device

  SFR - France

  BlackBerry Tour 9630 - OS 5.0

  Problem:

  I got this phone from a friend who bought it at the Sprint USA. I've now warned

  a Blackberry plan with my operator in France. I got a Blackberry message:

  "Your handheld device was registered by the wireless network.

  I got this message a few times when I rebooted the Blackberry. However, now

  I'm trying to set up the e-mail account, he said that the device was not registered and

  follow the following instructions:

  Options -> Advanced Options -> host Routing Table -> sign up now

  Which I did and then received the following message:

  "The registration message sent."

  But I never received any confirmation. I contacted my ISP

  but since they have not marketed the 9630 they can really help.

  We tried to configure and save manually the device on a web browser

  on your desktop:

  mobileemail. Vodafone.fr

  It worked, I was able to add my device with my PIN and IMEI code and

  Add an email. But still nothing on my mobile device... :'(

  "Your device was a conencting the server problem.

  Also I always "Activation required" on the top of the screen.

  Could someone please help with this question? I don't really know how

  retrieve the blackberry browser and for labour to send it.

  Internet seems to work very well, I can access to Whatsapp, viber

  and the web via Opera browser... But I just wanted to know if it is

  possible to make full use of the Blackberry options

  Thank you in advance for your help and suggestions.

  Hello again,

  Given that I had no solution and nothing to lose, I decided to reset the factory setting

  my Blackberry by smoothing on...

  And guess what... Everything seems to work perfectly well. I was able to set

  e-mail messages. Browser and Blackberry logo are here! So I guess that there are incompatibilities

  with the settings already on the phone and the new (from my ISP).

  In any case I still don't know why it is still written Activation required on top of my screen and also

  When I switch on the mobile, it is still not able to 'register' on the phone. Even if every thing

  seems to work fine now.

  Thanks for your help.

• BlackBerry smartphones can not move contacts from 9000 to 9800

  My old BB 9000, or more likely, DM 6.0 organize my contacts on my old phone hostage!

  I had my 9800 yesterday and tried to run the Wizard "device." Everything looks good, no errors, everything works... then I have open Contacts and it is empty. Look at my old camera, everything is still there. Try the synchronization again and again, no luck. Trying to back up "All contacts" on 9000 then just that give back to 9800, does not work.

  I think the problem is that on the 9000, I see three "lists of contacts" - two named Desktop and the other with my gmail address. It appears in fact as those associated with the gmail address move okay - except that only one contact is associated with this account! The rest seems to be distributed randomly among the other two inputs of funds.

  I have tried everything I can think to manually backup/recover contacts from the old phone, but no matter how I try to sync, I don't the addresses associated with the gmail account or when I restore what seems to be a 'complete' backup all contacts disappear.

  A side note, I didn't want/need to keep these contacts separate so if there is a way to merge together to solve as magically I will gladly do - unfortunately entered KB talking about this all reference ridiculously old versions of the software, so I don't know how to do with DM6 and the 9800.

  It's ridiculously frustrating. Permutation of devices was such a breeze and a grand more for me in the past, who would have thought that RIM would make it more difficult/worse?

  Let me know if I can give you more info!

  Well, 3 days it took me to solve this problem, quite poor of general RIM experience - I hope that someone is watching. Here is the solution I found, based on the process here: http://www.berryreview.com/2010/06/03/faq-duplicate-desktop-or-unknown-contact-list-databases-found-...

  Original problem - several book entries of "Desktop" addresses on my old phone, which apparently caused problems when you use the DM6 ' device' Wizard.

  Resolution:

  (1) of peripheral origin, take a backup and select only contacts 'Address Book - All.

  (2) Download ABC Amber Blackberry Editor (why I need a 3rd party tool to use my new phone!) as mentioned in the article.

  (3) open the .ipd file that contains the address book - all entries, do a save as and put them in a new file - they are now simply part of the primary address book.

  (4) this is where I spread article above - still, restore that backup on my new phone doesn't work but restore on my OLD phone actually. If that's what I did.

  (5) I reactivated my old phone on BES then used wireless sync to synchronize the address book to the server.

  (6) to the new phone, activate on BES and turn on the wireless sync, and voila, I have my address on my new phone... FINALLY.

  The obvious answer here is ' well, if you had the wireless sync works properly in the first place that probably would have been avoided "which is quite true. However, as it is a personal device that I use to work for e-mail only, the camera itself has always been the source of my address information and it sync to my business account has been low on my priority list. I thought that saw DM configured to make weekly backups (which still occur whenever I plug in my phone, regardless of whether or not - a week spent yet another problem with shit DM6) would be sufficient coverage of the information available to me.

  I hope someone finds this useful info and should not suffer through 3 days of hair pulling as I did.

• BlackBerry smartphones can not save my laptop to a wireless network

  I'm not able to save my my device on the wireless network. When I click on the register now button it says registration message sent but nothing happen. I use BSNL sim.

  I'm new to blackberry, I don't know anything about.

  Help, please!

  Hey farooqa737,

  Welcome to the community of BlackBerry Support Forums.

  Thanks for the question.

  Do you have a BlackBerry data plan with your network service provider? Also is your 3G, GSM, GPRS or EDGE signal in capital letters?

  Can send me a private message with your PIN so I can continue the investigation?

  Thank you.

• BlackBerry smartphones can not see contacts in the address book after you synchronize with PocketMac

  Model 8830. Macintosh OS 10.5.8. Latest version of PocketMac SYncManager 1.2 (1.4).

  Contacts have been working well. I have sync'd with PocketMac by ticking the peripheral crush, and first of all, I had a lot of duplicate addresses. Second sync seemed to delete ALL my contacts, but by checking the properties of the address book, it shows the 706 entries (twice what a book Mac address

  .)

  Nothing not done, I ran twice SyncClean and 'Reset all devices to the first SYnc State'. I have re-started the Mac and Blackberry several times.

  What to do next?

  I deleted all my data via the Options > Security Options > then wipe Handheld. Necessary for the re-registration

  the BB with the carrier and then by downloading my backed up address book & calendar

  Re-creation of speed dials, themes, ringtones, etc., but it cures the problem of address book.

  My calendar now has 3 copies of holiday in the United States, but I can live with that.

  I find it interesting that nowhere on the site Web Blackberry or PocketMac is there any

  clue on how to clean a calendar book or address munged. Maybe the next

  BlackBerry Desktop Manager will fix this problem.

• BlackBerry smartphones can not get contacts from gmail account * of * BB (OK I think the reverse)

  Just got my torch last day... first BB for me. I've enabled IMAP on gmail account and went through routine quick (online) which allows for the BB. I saw that the synchronization of contacts has been checked and when I finished to activate the account on the BB it seemed I could see some sort of sync in progress, BUT it seems he went only one way which is BB FOR online gmail account. Thus, the 300 contacts email on my online gmail account did not go to the TORCH.

  These contacts, I can see on my Torch are the 52 I had brought through Outlook a few days earlier using Blackberry Desktop V6 with the torch that is physically connected to the laptop.

  I have checked the filters and I see PERSONAL and BUSINESS, and both are disabled.

  I don't know if it's related but I think I've noticed in the short time I used the TORCH display new emails from gmail in question account, I would have thought that the sender's e-mail address would have been automatically added to the 52 "existing" BB Contacts, but always just the original 52.

  Where these 300 gmail contacts will, if they met, at the TORCH.

  Any ideas?

  Hey Copperbeech,.

  I looked into this question for you, currently Gmail contact limits of wireless synchronization and synchronize only the 'My contacts' and does not synchronize the "all Contacts". A possible work around that would be to copy the contacts to "my contacts".

  I hold that this aid.

• BlackBerry smartphones can not sync contacts

  I created a second e-mail on my Storm which is a gmail account.  When I put in place, it synced my contacts and added to g-mail account (which I didn't).  Now, I can't sync my list of contacts with my Outlook through Desktop Manager.  I tried to remove the g-mail account, but it still wouldn't work with Outlook.  I added the g-mail account, but now, it will not synchronize with this account either.  When I try to configure for wireless synchronization, it is said that it is "not available" and won't let me change this option.  Help!  How to return to the synchronization with Outlook.

  If I bring up the menu of options for the list of contacts, it lists my account gmail for contacts list - it doesn't list my normal mail.

  Is there an any hope come back in synchronization with the Desktop Manager?  If this is not the case, how enable wireless synchronization so that it can sync with the gmail account.

  Hello and welcome. In the settings of the e-mail from the Office Manager, under synchronization options, you will find the list of e-mail accounts to synchronize with. Make sure that it is set to outlook contacts. Maybe that's the problem.

• BlackBerry smartphones can not get contacts from the Sim Card.

  I just bought a Blackberry Bold 9780 and put my current sim card in it to copy my contacts in. However, this is not the case - that one or two contacts copied when all of my contacts have been permanently recorded on the sim card. My Blackberry bolt ons have not yet been activated (not sure if this is relevant). Would appreciate any help, thank you.

  If still a problem, do a battery with cache pull cleaned and try again once the backup.

  If still a problem, make a backup of everything but that in advanced backup.
