• 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:

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  Indeed, these IPD files are backups of your BB and are available as a source of food (they are a proprietary format and cannot be used for any other purpose, except by a few 3rd party applications that have been written to analyse). Choose the most recent one (the one with the most recent date and time, as displayed in the File Manager Windows) using this procedure:

  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:

• BlackBerry Smartphones transfer Apps from your old phone to phone upgrade

  Hello

  My apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to post this request, but I just got a BB torch as an upgrade and would like to transfer my many apps from my old phone (BB Curve 8520) but don't know how to do it- or do I have to download it again? No problem with free applications, but would rather not buy those that I bought and paid.

  Thank you very much in advance for any help.

  Anthony

  First, plug your phone BlackBerry Desktop Software and click on the device at the top.  I'm not sure what the exact measurements are to transfer data to your new phone (I don't have access to it right now), but it is not difficult to understand.

  From there on, you open AppWorld on your new phone and connect.  Your apps are updated on your new phone.  Those who have not been purchased on AppWorld will not; you will have to reload them manually, but all the AppWorld purchases will transfer themselves.

  I hope that helps you.

• BlackBerry smartphones move contacts from a nokia, the BOLD 9700 phone

  Dear Sir.

  How can I move the contacts of your Nokia for the Bold9700

  Best regards

  Thanks in advance.

  It all depends on WHERE the nokia phone contacts are located in the phone's memory?

  So, if Nokia phone has a micro usb port (does?) use Desktop Manager > switch device Wizard.

  If this isn't the case, then you might need to find the forum a users Nokia to determine how you can export contacts from nokia on your computer in the form of an ASCII text file so that you can import this file into Outlook via BlackBerry Desktop Manager.

  Still another way would be to use miQLive.com > download your contacts from phone nokia on this site, and then install miQlive on your BlackBerry and restore this site to your BlackBerry contacts.

  Good luck.

• BlackBerry Smartphones transfer Contacts from old Q10

  Please help, I have nearly 1000 contacts in my Q10, but only a fraction have been downloaded on my new private via Content Transfer. These are apparently "local Contacts". How can I get all the contacts transfer or uploaded to Google Drive?

  You use this account gmail on PRIV? If so, check if the contacts are synchronized:

  Go to settings

  Scroll accounts

  Tap on Google

  Tap on the gmail account that has your contacts

  Now check if the switch to IT.

  If you have not added gmail account that has your contacts, then proceed as follows:

  Go to settings

  Scroll accounts

  Tap Add an account

  Select google

  Follow the instructions... and your contacts will automatically be there.

• Transfer of blackBerry Smartphones to contacts from 8300 to 9900 using BB desktop

  I can't connect my 8300 bb because the port of load connector desktop / on the phone has developed a fault, so he can't save up to transfer data to my new 9900. I have a back up of June as a IPD file. If I connect the 9900 can I access this IPD using bb desktop and how?

  Hello and welcome to the community!

  Yes, your office software should be able to use this IPD file as the source for a restoration. See the procedure here:

  Hello

  You will probably have to get a PAID 3rd party player. Backup files (*.) IPD) are designed only to backup/restore of a BB... not for the transfer of the data anywhere else. But some 3rd party applications have broken through them and figured out how to extract the data. I suggest that you search (your favorite search engine) readers of IPD file and then select one to do what you want. But... I also suggest that you protect that IPD file... you never know what might happen to her with some 3rd party app.

  Good luck!

• BlackBerry Smartphones getting contacts to display in single line mode / without company name

  Hello

  I have recently updated our 8310 CEO of 4.2.2.146 at 4.5.0.81 that changed how contacts are displayed in AB - 4.2.2 as a result displays each entry on one line, 4.5.0.81 shows name + company for each entry and takes two lines.

  Does anyone know how to change it online / if it's possible--two lines is a bit prettier, but habits are habits...

  Thank you very much

  Petar

  It's just not possible... I'm sorry.
