How to backup Contacts on DROID

My previous phone was a LG DARE and to back up all my contacts, it was the BACK UP ASST at Verizon.  It would download and save every night. I actually used to transfer all my contacts to my last three phones.  How to back up our contacts on the DROID.  They did the transfer of the LG DARE for the DROID to the VZ store.  I just want to be safe, just in case the update (do not have) mess anything.or I have to do a factory reset. Any info would be helpful.  Thank you

While the synchronization of accounts is a great feature - it is NOT the same thing as the backup of your data.

Just as importantly, you should never backs up your data to the same disk/device you are trying to protect.

To back up your contacts after sync with your gmail account, you should then export your gmail contacts to a csv file and save it on your computer or, better yet, your computer and a server off-site.

The best way to save your contact is to use one of the applications of the market which will allow you to save not only your contacts, but all your Droid settings, call logs, sms/mms and photos as well.

MyBackup is one of them (30-day free trial and then $4.99, I think). I don't know that there are others.

    Hello djplexus

    First, you will need to understand how to set up the dual boot. This will allow you to be able to choose between XP and 7 at startup.
    With regard to the creation of an image of Windows XP Backup there is no Windows XP software that will do it for you. You will need to look to third-party vendors for support with this issue. Thank you.
  • Z10 broken blackBerry torch USB - how to transfer Contacts to Z10

    Anyone know how to get contacts for the Z10 to a Torch 9860 other than Bluetooth each contact one by one?  My USB port on my old phone is broken and cannot be fixed without replacing the complete Platinum!

    I used the Blackberry Protect on my Torch 9860, and I see the back upward when I connect.  I just can not restore anything to my Z10.

    The crappy USB port on my Torch 9860 is down.  I know that, because I actually found the PIN that broke with the main circuit on the phone which, guess what, ENDS THE CIRCUIT!

    I can't believe that BlackBerry is a product where the USB is the ONLY way to transfer contacts, calendars, etc., of an older Blackberry.  Sure that someone was not thinking...  I am seriously thinking about return to the Blackberry for a brand of conviviality.  The lifeline USB with no backup copy is a VERY bad idea, and BAD planning on part of Blackberry.

    I spoke in support of Radio Shack... such a great help!

    Here's the answer (using the same SIM card to copy and transfer):

    (1) have the SIM card in the torch. Select the Setup icon on the torch

    (2) device selector

    (3) select the Option to copy the data from your SIM card and let it copy.

    (4) switch the SIM card in the Z10.  Go to the icon of installation on the Z10

    (5) device selector

    (6) select data transfer and leave it to copy.

    It takes a few minutes for the Z10 everything coming from the card SIM the Z10, but SO relieved to see come back all my stuff!

  • How to sync contacts from iMac iPad and iPhone

    I did clean and fill my Contacts on iMac (version 10.11.6) and then I tried several times to synchronize these (81 cards) with Contacts on my iPad and iPhone (SE).
    Whenever I do it (via iTunes) I don't get all the 81 cards on other devices and becomes changed my correct Contacts on my iMac.

    I just installed iCloud, but the mess just gets bigger.

    If possible, I would prefer to use iTunes for this operation.

    I can't find 'step by step' clear guidance how to do this.

    Only a lot of conversation and advice that increase only my confusion.

    I wonder if it wouldn't be better to first delete all Contacts to iPad and iPhone and then 'move' (how?) my Contacts iMac iPad and iMac.

    But I can't even delete the Contacts of the iPad and the iPhone in 'single action' I prefer not to delete these addresses one by one.

    Please be so kind as to help and know that I am far from an expert in the software, so I prefer the simple tips "step by step".

    Thank you very much!

    Hi Muizen,

    The official way 'Apple' is now really use iCloud.

    I would export all your contacts to your iMac like this: http://osxdaily.com/2015/07/14/export-contacts-mac-os-x/

    Then delete all the contacts of all the devices you have

    Then turn on iCloud contacts on all of these devices

    Then reimport your contacts previously exported to your iMac and it must synchronize everywhere.

  • How can I contact Apple with a problem?

    Earlier today, which I called Apple Support with the question that my iPhone could not connect to iTunes. First of all, the woman asked me if I was on the speaker, and I said yes because I was looking at my computer screen so she can help me solve the problem. She replied with "it would be nice if I wasn't on the speaker. (already coming off rude) Then she told me to let him see my computer screen. She never gave me the Web site to enable him to do this. After that, she ran a scan to see if something was wrong. She found a small problem in my computer and I asked how to fix it. She told me that she could connect to a certified technician who can fix this. (never mentioned anything about a cost) I told him he was fine, then she said that it would cost a small fee. I said I'm sorry how much would it be. She said, "it would be a small fee of $99.99. (no case is a small fee) I proceed to tell him I am a student who doesn't have that kind of money right now and she started to treat me as a child and said: why don't ask you MOM and dad and give us a call. Where to go to school, there is a technical team that solves such things for free. I wanted Apple to fix the problem and that person does not. I'm very angry against how I was treated and would like to contact someone to complain. So I wonder how I should contact them?

    It's not Apple, you just been deceived by some random criminal. Try to be more careful in the future.

    Now, why you called it.

  • How can I contact a moderator or an administor

    I have problems with my support forum account. How can I contact someone?

    It seems you want to change your username to jym396.

    Which now seems to have been done.

    It may be interesting to note that the display name can be changed yourself.
    It is only a sign name is fixed unless an Admin changes it for you.
    So for example, if you set your confidential email address as a sign in the name, you may have to Admiin assistance.

    • You change your screen name yourself.
      Use binding: edit/users/editor the option Edit in the menu drop down your name on the top of these pages.

    There was a work around that may have worked, especially for someone without a vast set of previous questions you do not lose. There is an option to close your account from the same page above

    Trying to help, it seems that we have said to one of your email addresses. I edit these following poss to remove it.

    Some people do not wish to publish their email address, there is even an option for that. This option displays only your email address in the profile, it does not display the address on your messages, but that doesn't mean not moderators should check & not to remove your e-mail address to protect your privacy.

  • How to export Contact using the vCard and SMS to the non-iPhone user

    Hello

    so I just tried to share a contact, using Messages, from another phone (non-iPhone) and I expect Messages to send a vCard using SMS to other mobile phone, but instead the iPhone said: "failed to send Message."  Text messages normal sending very well (with the Green bubbles).

    I followed the 7 steps listed at this link: http://www.iphoneheat.com/2013/01/how-to-send-contact-card-vcard-from-iphone-ipa d-ipod-touch /, but it did not work.

        1. Launch the Contacts application from the home screen of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
        2. Search for the contact you want to share and tap the name;
        3. When you contact details, scroll to the bottom and press the button Share contact ;
        4. Choose the option Message ;
        5. The vCard contact will be automatically inserted into an empty message.
        6. Now simply select the recipient you want to send the contact card to the field to the message.
        7. Click on send. That's all!

    If anyone knows how it's supposed to be done with the latest iOS - to send contact information to another phone (non-iphone) by SMS?

    Well, I figured that out, and it relates to this discussion of the Apple forum:

    Why should I mobile data market to send/receive MMS?

    According to my cellular provider (Fido, Canada), the decision to send vCards and picture Messages to cellular data radio was conducted by mobile phone manufacturers (Apple, Samsung, etc.), but it's probably a standard now that cellular providers design their networks (although I could believe the reverse had happened).

    Fortunately, even if I use the connection 'data' Fido that they don't consider it as data, but as the e-mail... which is good for my boyfriend who is also using Fido, because is not a data plan but can now receive vCards (and picture messages) via MMS when it allows its cellular data (radio).

    But the real question is why was decided to send a business card on the data network and not on the SMS network, as it is just text (such as a comma-delimited file).  And if the vCard happened to contain non-text byte then why they wouldn't just UUENCODE (or MIME) the vCard if there no text fields so that it could be sent via SMS?

    Oh, wait... Search..., Wikipedia watch looks like what a card and its ALL TEXT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard#vCard_4.0

    And very little text too.

    If anyone knows why Apple does not send vCards via SMS (or why LG/Samsung either)?

    Why I care, well of curiosity, of course, but also because if we could do more over the cellular transmitter voice/sms, so maybe we could turn cellular data more often, which would save on energy consumption (I guess), reduce the heat our phones get and to reduce our exposure to the EM radiation have some of the disabled (c.f. Bluetooth WiFi wireless transmitters (, data transmitters and cell phones cellular voice/sms).

    Let's hope that someone out there knows.

    Thank you.

    P.S. I also understood why so many of my friends use Whatsapp and WiFi to send text messages instead of using the network of suppliers of cells, the standard e-mail application in Android (and iOS when you message for a non-Apple device) will not send messages (SMS/MMS) via WiFi.
