BlackBerry Smartphones IM all my contacts?

I received an instant message to a friend that said to go to your Messenger and basically to send this message to all my contacts, or by Messenger account will be inactive.

It is false, it is displayed everywhere in this and all other BlackBerry-releated forums during the last 24 hours with people asking.

Delete it and ignore it. Tell the friend who forwarded it to you it's wrong.

  • BlackBerry smartphones lack all the contacts in the phone after the backup (via Desktop Manager)

    Hi - my tour 9630 died, and after getting a new phone from verizon has opened the Office Manager to run the restore. I have now NO telephone contacts at all in my address book, but all my single email yahoo contacts are now in my phone. How can I recover my phone contacts?

    WOW, FIXED! OK, so after playing with the phone for a while, I noticed another problem - I have had wayyyyy too much e-mail contcts; as in every yahoo only contact had synced my phone. so I went Googling issuing telephone directories, options and rset type who turned off Wi - Fi sync. then I restored (for the billionth time) and voila! no more contacts additional email and phone contacts are back.

    Weird question and I wonder if this is normal?

    is it possible to be notified before restoration you must disable your wireless sync (which I didn't even know was)?

    Thank you blackberry forums! you solved my problem again!

  • 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.

    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.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones lost all contacts during software update

    Hey I've just updated v4.6 on my "BOLD" and now I can not find my contacts... info calendar and Outlook still there but all my contacts were lost... Help!

    Thank you

    Hello and welcome!

    Depending on how you did the update, it may have created a backup file on your PC. If you did the update via attached USB on your PC (for example, no OTA), search your hard drive for a file with an extension of the RPI (*.ipd). Inspect the results (date/time of the file) and choose the one to use in the restore. Then, run the DTM software and perform a selective restore:

  • BlackBerry Smartphones only restore BBM contacts - how?

    Hello

    How can I restore ONLY my BBM contacts using the desktop software?  I looked through the choice of data but none like the right. I have a Torch 9800 and I use the latest office software. (6.0 bundle 1907)

    I use my BB especially for work it is setup with connection of mail company so last week when I had problems they have wiped my BB and now my email and business contacts sync works well again but I lost all my BBM contacts.

    In the restore office option, I use the "select parameters and device data" to select data to restore, but I cannot easily determine what type of data I should be restore so I didn't wipe my e-mail contacts existing or other parameters. Given that I had about 60 BBM contacts fields that show a counter that is close (and therefore looks promising) to the correct quantity are: Messages, folders, store of Trusted keys, stored key pocket, and recent contacts.

    Any help or thoughts are appreciated.

    No, you're not... the latest version is 6.1.0 Bundle 34...

    See this KB for a list of all databases on the BB:

    • KB03974 List of all databases on the BlackBerry smartphone

    The appropriate injector is there. It's a shame you didn't otherwise save your BBM contacts... BBM itself offers the possibility to make a backup of contacts... I've always found that more useful than the ability to backup/restore of desktop software.

  • Help with calendar with Outlook sync blackBerry Smartphones to all appointments will not sync...

    I'm not a great tech, but I have some skills good enough for a girl, if I say so myself... but I'm so frustrated... I need help.

    This is my first public post... So I hope that I give all the information but who will help, if I missed something, please let me know.

    Here is some background info:

    I have a BB "BOLD"

    I use it NOT on a company (network)

    I sync my bb with my dell

    Windows Vista (UGH!)

    Outlook - Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001

    My calendar and my contacts are the most important reason, I have a bb

    My contacts are FINE

    My schedule is a MESS

    I have 2 separate email addresses work well my bb... For the purposes of his post, I will refer to them as

    [email protected] and

    [email protected]

    When I do appointments in my work calendar, I do one of 2 things to get all my appointments on the BB

    Plan my gmail as a participant in the designation address or

    Prior to the appointment to my gmail from my work email address

    When I make an appointment directly from my BB I do it by selecting Menu > new = my default settings of the account gmail under the 'send '.

    BB News:

    When I'm in the calendar and select > Menu.Options > calendars > I have 3 options

    [email protected] who has (518 entries)

    Default device that has (157 results)

    [email protected] who has (429 entries)

    When I go to the Menu > Options > Advanced Options > Services > (CICAL) by default is [email protected] , it shows that I have options to select my Gmail or my .mac address

    That is the problem - it did not used to happen, and I frankly did not know that my backup was messed up so I don't know how long this is happening.

     

    When I sync with Outlook

    There are only 518 appointments that are synchronized

    I can't get the other 157 (defect of the unit) + 429 (mac) to sync with my outlook

    Can someone help me to get them all on my gmail calendar? or in my outlook so that I can then sync back with the BB

    I will not sync my bb with my mac

    Here's what I tired:

    • Yelling at the computer
    • Yelling in Spanish at the BlackBerry
    • ignoring the two
    • I stopped myself to throw both of them against the wall.

    But seriously

    I put the BB Desktop Manager to perform a one-way synchronization > bb to outlook = NOTHING only synchronize gmail

    I changed the (CICAL) to my mac address and synchronized = NOTHING - only synchronization gmail

    I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.

    Hello

    We will remember and then on MAC records.

    Outlook contains records of 158 of the associated Gmail Calendar.

    The calendar by default folders must be cleared and restored to the associated Gmail Calendar.

    The Blackberry associated gmail calendar resulting will be then synchronized with Outlook to add the former default records

    resulting calendars synced to Outlook and Blackberry.

    Reading this, I propose more than once. Method 3 is what we do.

    Let me know, tomorrow, what questions you have the procedure so that we can ensure we succeed.

    Let me know how it goes!

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    If the old BB is really dead, then it is not available as a source for restoring your data to your new device. Instead, you must use another source, one that you created before the old BB died.

    If you made a backup of office, you can use the backup as a restore source file:

    As you use BB Protect, is also an available food source:

    • KB25063 How to use BlackBerry Protect to restore data on a BlackBerry smartphone

    You must be sure to connect to, on the new BB, the same BB ID that you used on the old BB. If you have already created a new ID BB on this new BB, then you go to your old ID BB:

    • KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry smartphone or BlackBerry PlayBook Tablet

  • BlackBerry Smartphones import/export of contacts, calendar, etc.

    Hello

    I'm trying to transfer my data from my old Nokia to my new BB9900. I hope that the current version of the Desktop software is something like version-1, because I consider that it is entirely insufficient. I expect that this software allows to export/import contacts and other data. This would change/upgrade to update these data using tools more comfortable to my Mac instead of typing any change in my BB. However, nothing like this is available.

    In addition, when you back up contacts, calendar etc. is is rather not transparent what happens. The program seems to ignore the selection 'calendar' or anything else and everything just records to my Mac. And - see above - in a proprietary format that does not yet use of these data.

    Yes, this message is responsible for someone @ rim. Simply for the fact that the www.blackberry.com site does not provide a link "contacts" were, we could send these complaints.

    If you have a csv file good, you may need to start over if you are not using the guide above.

    Another option:
