Made a very big mistake while syncing my Curve 8320 and lost ALL my contacts. I have more than one Blackberry connected onto BB desktop software and mind you that both phones have different contacts on them. I only backed up one of them prior to today and I had the option of syncing all my known contacts from my computer onto whatever phone that would be plugged in turned on. So basically I did not make a backup copy of my Curve 8320 and whatever contacts I have for my other BB has overwritten what was on it. Is there any way to recovery those lost contacts?!
Synced my phone with my gmail account last night and after doing this all my contacts were lost.Im sure this is an easy fix but I am not familiar with the phone. I make sure that the filters were off so its not that.If I go into "options" and go into "contact lists" it has my email address and says that I have "89" entries.But the phone will not display any of my contact entries.
I have a Blackberry Curve 8530 which I was working fine with 250 contacts and 20 memos. I just updated my software to 5.0 1596 and when I was synching my blackberry with my computer I got the following message " The following changes from address book microsoft outlook will be applied t your device data in address book - 233 additions". When I click accept the sync stops and I got an error message - 0x80040fb3 and I only have 4 contacts and no memos.
After two years of service, my 8320 suddenly is unable to sync the handheld with my Outlook. It starts off fine and after a few minutes, at the point where it is downloading the calendar from the handheld the program stops working. I have downloaded the 5.0 desktop which did not help.
I have a Blackberry Curve 8310.I tried to follow the instructions on a similar post and go to my address book to change the contact directions, However I lost my icon for the Address Book for some reason.how to make everything operable again?
I tried to sync my contacts to my mac using the Blackberry desktop software, I now have no contacts left on my phone. I didn't back up my phone before doing the sync and the contacts aren't on my mac either.Some contacts appear under recent calls and texts however there are no contacts in my address book.
I recently lost an iPhone 3GS and replaced it with an old iPhone 3GS (replacement). The replacement required a software update but said that the previous phone contacts would synch after the software update. I have since completed a software update during which an error occurred, but the software eventually completed it's update. I now can't find my contacts from the previous phone. Should I restore to the original settings? Are my contacts stored on my Mac somewhere within iTunes?
after I updated to 2.1 all my contacts dissapeared. I understand this is a common problem.
1) How could I have avoided this problem?
2) How can I get my contacts back? They are not in my google contacts.
3) Is there any way to turn off the sync order in Ericsson Sync so that the latest update does NOT overwrite the other. The trouble is that if I am to add all my lost contacts "by hand" in Ericsson Sync, and thereafter delete the few contacts still on my phone, then the deletion is the latest event - and that will overwrite my additions in Ericsson Sync... I am really bothered by this Ericsson Sync - I canīt really se the point of it, have I missed something?
I had 3GS and upgraded to 4S and gave my 3GS to my brother to use. Now my brother changed the phone name and deleted the contacts and as I was syncing on the cloud, his deletions started reflecting mine. Please let me know what do I do to get back all my contacts.
I sync my phone trying to do a backup.. but instead it has wiped everything on my iphone.I have tried to re-import sim contact but that is very few, i had over 200 contacts on this phone.All pictures cant be found.I've searched all over iTunes to see if it hidden in groups.I've searched outlook.. there are no contacts sync on there either.
I have a PC, iPhone and iPad on which contacts, reminders and calendar are turned on in iCloud.
Everything used to work fine. I missed a meeting on Thursday because it did not snych into me iPhone. I noticed contact changes were not synching. I turned of Contact Synching on the iPhone, selected keep contact on iPhone.
All contacts were erased on the iPhone. Turned synch back on and nothing downloads to the iPhone I checked iCloud on the web and the contacts are there.
How to sync or rather resync facebook contacts back to your XPRT's contact list if lost. My son deleted my contacts and when I restored them from online back ups I noticed my facebooks were not there. Trying to remove the account to resync would not work. I received an error with each attempt. Like many users I use the Facebook app from Google's market. Even when I would force close the app it would still not remove my face book account. You cannot resync unless you remove the account. Open the facebook app and simply sign out of the app. do not close it but sign out by hitting the menu icon to the left of your home button on the touch scene. This will allow you to remove the Facebook account. It will warn you on sign out that all your Facebook data on your phone will be lost if you sign out. That is okay as soon as you log in and resync and reopen the app it will all come back.
Once you have logged out remove your account by going to My Accounts in the app drawer or from your phones settings through the menu button. Resettling your phone is not necessary but can be done at this point if you wish. Either way after this point you must add your facebook account back by going back to My Accounts. Once you add the email and password and it goes back to your accounts screen you will see two (2) facebook accounts. Click one and if it pulls up a blue and white screen to log into the facebook app stop. Hit the back button and click the other facebook account. The one you want will have a black Motorola XPRT system windows that says "sync contacts" just hit that sync button and it should as long as facebook and your MOTOBLUR app on facebook are both working resync you contacts adding them to your phones contacts.
my son took out the sim card and put his in to try it. I have put mine back in and have lost all my contacts, can i retrieve them. He also set up Blackberry ID which he forgot the password and it says we only have 1 attempt left (what happens if we get it wrong again?). I think i have reset the password on the computer, will this be updated on the phone?
My husband and I bought Blackberry Curve 8530s last night. We had all our contacts in our blackberrys when we left the store, I was even assigning ring tones to certain people already. I downloaded blackberry for facebook later that night and all my contacts were suddenly gone. I've tried to manually put in contacts, click save, and then no contact shows up. There are no filters checked in the contacts so I know it's not that. Any other ideas?
I recently downloaded a new version of Skype mobile to my blackberry and after restarting all of my contacts disappeared. I can only add one contact to my address book, but it repeats 5 times. I end up with the same name repeated 5 times and when I delete one they all disappear. Attempts to restored address book from back ups using BB Desktop Manager fail loading the address book.
I had a Blackberry Curve 8130. It began to have issues last week, so I did a back-up of the data on it and tried to upgrade the software to see if that would fix it. After a little over 6 hours into the process, the status bar stoped moving on it. It was in the final stages of putting the information back onto my phone. I still have the.ipd file on my laptop, but I do not know how to get the information saved on that file back into my phone. I went today and bought a new Blackberry Bold and the store tried to access my contact information from my old phone to move them to my new phone, but they said they could not recover anything from it. Is there a way to get the information from the saved file back onto my old phone so that I can sync it to my computer and access the contacts information so that I can then add them to my new Blackberry?
My phone was charging the other night during a power failure and in the morning my contacts and BB contacts were gone. These contacts aren't lost as it's my gmail contact list - but I can't get them back on my phone. I've clicked all the buttons to sync, but no luck. I can't manually add a contact and see it either. In the contacts options, it says that I have 288 contacts associated with my gmail account, and when I manually add one, it goes up by another number. But - I can't see them anywhere. Also, I removed the email account and set it up again making sure to click the sync box, took out the battery and SIM card and put it back, and still nothing.
Phone was sent in to be repaired. restored backup with BB protect. signed into BB ID with no problem. In the uninstalled section apps were missing that were downloaded to the phone prior to being repaired. I was able to update app world and bbm. All of my contacts are gone! What do i do to get my contacts back? What happened to my other apps that were previously downloaded?
I backed up my phone as I had not done it in a while. Then I synced the phone. I then tried to use my phone and noticed that all my numbers were gone, and they were replaced with contacts from my outlook. I tried to update it again but my contact details still did not show up.
I was connecting my Curve to my laptop to back up my data. During this process it wanted me to upgrade my desktop program and my handheld OS. Once I was finished with the backup and the upgrades and was able to disconnect, I had to rearrange my icons. During this process I noticed that all my SMS messages were not labled with a sender but just the phone number. Noticing this I quickly checked my contacts and there was about 50 out of 250 contacts listed. I have tried to restore from the back and this resulted in even less people listed in my contacts!
My Blackberry Curve 8520 indicated that I must upgrade my bbm to a newer version before I could continue using it. I upgraded my bbm, but now all my contacts are gone! How can I get them back? I'm on Vodacom in South Africa
I received an email message from Blackberry inviting me to upgrade my OS to 5.0.0.1, which I did wirelessly.At the end of the process, after the restart, I got a message that said "uncaught exception ....I pulled the battery and tried again a few times, but I kept getting the same message.I Goggled the error message and to my horror found hundreds of listing - most related to corruption errors!However, since my blackberry home screen appeared under the message warning, and it is supposedly a mission critical device and I need to work, I clicked ok and started to use my device again.
All seemed find until I noticed that some of my contacts were missing.Maybe about 10%. I determined that some of these missing contacts had been updated since my last back-up. Others had been on my BB for years.I decided to try and restore the address book from my last back-up.I launched my Desktop Manager 6.0.2 and tethered my Curve.First I backed up the "damaged contact list" as part of a full back up.All went well.Then I went to use a 2 week only back up file, that I made before the OS upgrade. But the address book field was dimmed. There were 4036 entries on the dimmed back up file. I had 4021 on my Curve, but many more than 15 were missing. Regardless, I couldn't restore because:
(Dimmed entries are data types that are read only . . . . )The only solutions to this problem I found via Google related to older OSes and devices and involved deleting service book entries which look nothing like the service book entries I found. Or, is simply a problem related to running a RIM application on a RIM device after an upgrade to one more "advanced" RIM OS from another RIM OS, at RIM's recommendation?
My contacts are gone completly from home screen, and another icon has taken it's place. This happened after deleting two applications I no longer needed and rebooting phone. I did not delete my contacts, but they are gone.
