  How to import contacts from Yahoo BB contacts? I can't believe that it is not possible... Can anyone help?

  Philippe

  Philip, you are welcome.

  I would recommend first to import this file in to your Yahoo contacts on Yahoo mobile web page where are your contacts. These contacts would then sync over to your BlackBerry address book. This is the simplest method.

  Alternatively, you can use a version prior to the BlackBerry Desktop Software v6.1 or lower, to import a CSV file into your BlackBerry.

• 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 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 I import contacts from vcf file

• 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.

• BlackBerry smartphone how to transfer contacts from BB Q5 to Bold 9650?

  Well Yes,.

  You read that right. :-D

  I have a BB Q5 and one just got my obsolate Bold 9650 running on OS 5.0 works again :-)) (was looking for the battery).

  I want to transfer my contacts (and calendar, if possible) to Bold 9650.

  I already have a link to BB and latest BB Desktop Software. None of which supported the other device.

  I launched the desktop software and attempted to 'restore' backup file created with link of Q5.

  Enough, obviously office did not see all files in the folder where I saved it.

  I don't remember the extension of the files created by us office, but the name of the link files extension is .bbb

  Is not serious. The problem is: I can't transfer my contacts/calendar of Q5 9650. Mobile calendar is not very important, but I really need contacts.

  Is there another way, as the storage cloud or any system whereby I can transfer contacts between these two devices to backup online?
  I already have the box on Q5, but it does not at all on "BOLD". Not at all.
  BB Protect does not work for the Q5.

  Help, please!

  And thanks in advance. :-)

  PS: Sorry for spelling errors.

  Done everything! :-)

  With the help of link (for OS 10) BB, BB Desktop Software and MS Outlook (namesake).

  First, I copied my Q5 in Outlook contacts, using the BB link.

  Then Outlook contacts using BDS, copied in "BOLD".

  PS: It is in short. Manage my original outlook contacts was a quite different mess. :-D

• BlackBerry Smartphones move all Contacts from the SIM?

  I'm changing to a 9700 for a 9790. I have a ton of contacts in the internal memory of the old phone and need to move all the way to the SIM card so I can pass the info on the new phone. Is there a way to copy all the contacts at once on the SIM card? Otherwise, I'll spend a week moving one by one.

  Hi jgazolm

  Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums

  Not on our smartphone BlackBerry you can not copy all Contacts from a SIM card at the same time, if you want to copy you make one because the BlackBerry address book is much more robust it will be a different arrangement with a resource person and several areas of information (phone cell phone, work phone, home phone, e-mail address, etc.) while the SIM card SIM card allows only one entry per phone number.

  KB04205 : copy a Contact to your address book to the SIM phone.

   

  You go from 9700 to 9790 option switch device Wizard will use BlackBerry Desktop Software it will transfer all your data from your old phone to the new.

• Transfer contacts from blackBerry to a new BlackBerry Smartphones

  Everything that I gave away my old BlackBerry Bold 9000 is the backup IPD files (I have the phone).   Can I transfer contacts from these backup files in my new BlackBerry Bold 9650?

  Hmmm... interesting. OK... Let's try this KB:

• BlackBerry Smartphones transfer contacts from Sony Eric to his new BB 9700

  My daughter just bought a new BB 9700 (on Orange) here in the United Kingdom.

  She needs to transfer all contacts from his current phone (250 on Sim 220 on Sony Eric) to her BB9700.

  How she'll do this please?

  Hello!

  If it is compatible, provided by RIM device switch Wizard will accomplish the task. You can read about it here:

  • KB05421 What is switch device Wizard
  • KB05459 How to use the switch device Wizard to switch to another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone

  If this isn't the case, then you must use whatever your other device provides and export the data to a CSV file. Then, you can use the RIM software to import in the BB:

  • KB11194 How to import contacts from a CSV file to the BlackBerry

  Good luck and let us know!

• BlackBerry Smartphones copy contacts from Nokia 6500 to bb 8220 pearl flip

  I need to move/copy contacts from my Nokia 6500 to bb 8220 pearl, I already downloaded the bb desktop software... ideas pls?

  Hi and welcome to the Forums!

  RIM provides a device switch Wizard to migrate from another SmartPhone to a BB... but only for compatible devices. See this KB:

  • KB05459 How to use the switch device Wizard to switch to another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone

  If your old phone is not compatible with the wizard, then RIM more offers the possibility to import ASCII and CSV files. See this KB:

  • KB04312 Create and synchronize with an ASCII export file
    KB11194 How to import contacts from a CSV file to the BlackBerry
  • Sorry, but RIM does no research on how to get your data from your old device and in ASCII format or CSV... it is a function of your old device.

  In addition, you could (I think should) use a desktop PIM for your data (and you should, IMO). You must choose a compatible PIM of this KB. Then download your data from your old device and the PIM Office. Next, configure the BB to sync with the PIM:

  • KB17022 How to configure applications to Organizer for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager

  Good luck and let us know!
