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.

Greetings - Bob

Gotcha.  I don't know how you try to import the csv file.  Did you use this guide?

http://BTSC.webapps.BlackBerry.com/BTSC/ViewDocument.do?externalId=KB11194&sliceId=1&cmd=displayKC&d...

I also found this link because you are using a mac.

http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/desktop-software-for-Mac/re-how-to-Import-CSV-file-using-Mac-...

The number of email account... do you have you set up your email on the phone using the configuration of messaging application?  I'm trying to see how this could happen and how to fix it.

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

Another option:

I had a similar problem.  I deleted all the contacts on the phone and ended up importing the csv file in gmail.  I set up my account gmail on the phone and everyone stood on the device.  What e-mail service, are you using?

  • BlackBerry Z10 IMPORT/EXPORT of CONTACTS OF BBB FILES to VCF FILES OR TEXT

    I got a blackberry Z10 (unlocked version) which was defective and he has been replaced by an other Z10 (also unlocked) blackberry. Because the OS versions are different, I can't restore my contacts from the old to the new. BlackBerry has said that this is due to the difference in OS versions. I downloaded the bb world app that import/export of contacts, but can import text or vcf files and not the bbb files.  I downloaded Extractor backup blackberry but was disappointed to see that BB 10 backups are not supported yet.

    Thank you

    So I guess you never backed up your phone using BlackBerry Protect, or you did.

    If you did, you can install your contacts from there.

    If you do not, think to do for next time.

    Read all of this page, there is not much to read: http://worldwide.blackberry.com/ap/protect/

    If you have never enabled BB Protect you.  Go to: settings, BlackBerry Protect, marketing and you must also turn on location services.

  • 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

  • HELP blackBerry Smartphones... transfer contacts

    Blackberry style 9670 phone. has just been cut. no power nothing. I got a replacement phone. How to transfer my contacts because the phone is dead. Incidentally, I have blackbery protect on the dead phone. How to recover information. phone is dead... Please HELP

    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:

    If you were synchronizing with a Desktop Organizer (for example, Outlook), then you can use that as source for restore reconfiguring the RIM Desktop software now work with your new BB:

    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

    This will allow even you to migrate other things that were on your old BB - for example, documents of purchase/download AppWorld.

  • 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.

    My name is Kofi, and recently, I lost my BB.  I never really had any use for my manager of office except for back to the top of my unit.  My last backup was Sept. 8.  Now when I look into the window location 7 says that my backup is stored, my PC makes me choose an app to read the backup.  I "tried the software adobe reader, microsoft office, windows media player, etc. and I realized that I don't really know what im doing and I need help." I'm starting to wonder if I still backed up my BB information.  I would really appreciate it if someone is willing to get in touch with me to get out.
