I recently lost my entire address book when I deleted all of my contacts from an old yahoo email address. Some of the contacts are backed up on my desktop at home, but lots had been entered manually and had nothing to do with the yahoo email address. Does anyone know how I can restore it? I am desperate to get it restored as I lost some vital numbers.
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 had an address book with 44 contacts on my Blackberry Curve 9300. I back it up regularly on my desktop computer. After I installed my Yahoo email on my Blackberry and added 1 new contact my existing address book disappeared! When I try to restore it from my Blackberry desktop software the option for "address book" is dimmed thus not available.v
I downloaded Blackberry Desktop Manager like the BB site said to do and backed up my address book and everything else on my phone. I was going to update my BB Curve 8330 software. I read the directions and followed them and after I backed up and it said the back up was successful I tried to update the software and it said that failed so I restored everything back onto my phone and guess what? Address book is gone! So far that's the only thing I can find that didn't restore but I'm still looking. Is there anything that I can do that I am not techno-savvy enough to have realized or are they just gone? If they're just gone then fine whatever I'm not going to freak out.
I was trying to create a sub folder in my address book & now I can't find my original add book. The add book icon is still there, but there are no contacts in it. The best i remember i hit filter and chose business & typed in a name for what i thought would be a new folder or group. i'm not sure what happened, but I can't see any of my contacts. I have switched from personl to business & back again & it says "no contacts" on both. But if I go to email & put in a letter all of my old contacts that begin with that letter show up. & my speed dials still work. But if i go to sms/mms & do compose sms it shows "No Addresses"....well I spoke too soon...now if i go to email & type in a letter it don't show a list of ppl that begin with that letter.... I have tried taking the battery out with the phone off & on & it's still the same....
I have S'ony Xperia X8. The address book icon desappear of the screen corner (emails/music/numbers and address book). How can I put it in that place again?
The IT dept at my office wiped my phone for the outlook upgrade the company just completed. I am trying to restore my 600 contacts from desktop software and cannot select the address book to restore. That entry is dimmed as read only data type. I have tried to the tip to turn off the wireless email reconciliation, but it had no affect.
I recently have wiped my BB clear completely (making a back up before ofcourse) cause I had to reinstall my email accounts (changed carrier).When I wanted to restore my data it copied everything but it left my contacts out. When I tried to individually add data I noticed that the option to choose Addresses/Contacts was grey (I can't tick the box).
When restoring my old torch 9800, to the new 9860, my address book will only transfer 322 contacts out of more than 700, and I have not been able to restore the complete address book. Does any body know what might be happening? I have tried complete restore and custom restore, selecting only the address book, and it stops at 322 contacts always!
i have blackberry 9810 and i want to send my contacts from my address book on my macbook pro to my blackberry . i installed the blackberry desktop software Then I connect my blacberry to my macbook pro and the sync started .the calender , notes , tasks was Synchronized and every thing was ok but the contacts didnt Synchronize and I do not know why..
i have a blackberry curve 8520. at the momment i have 288 contacts but i can not add more. I go to menu, address book, new contact, the window give me the options, i add the information (name, phone, email, etc) and when i want to save the contact it do not save
i tried to reboot removing the battery for a minute and restart but still with the same problem.
Also i figured out that when y sync my bb with the desktop manager, the address book is not sync it says (Adress book not installed) that is why i can not swipe the contacts to reinstall the info because i have no back up of the address book
Just got this phone and manually input all of my contacts with no problem. One day later, all those contacts are gone and it won't let me add more contacts. I have even tried adding them to my SIM and then copying them over...but still nothing.
After several years of easily syncing my BlackBerry Curve 8530 to my Mac, I suddenly can't do it. I get the following error message: The Address Book database cannot be accessed for synchronization. For help resolving this issue, refer to KB19454 in the BlackBerry Desktop Software Knowledge Base.I can't find KB19454 in the database. I can't find a way to call BlackBerry to resolve this. My Sprint store won't touch my Mac (and vice versa).
Have had my Curve for ages and added a contact a day or so ago. Upgraded some applications from BB World (don't know if there is a connection) and tried adding a new contact but this error message appears: Uncaught exception: Application net_rim_bb_addressbook_app (216) is not responding; process terminated (by the way the two upgrades were for Twitter and BB Messenger)Is it coincidence that I've just installed a couple of upgrades and this has now happened?
Curve 8530 on Verizon Wireless Access to Corporate resources and email via BESI also access Gmail from the deviceRight now I am not synching over the air - that has never worked. I'm using Desktop Manager, and recently downgraded to Version 5.01. When I connect the device and configure for Address Book sync the application starts the process, then craps out without synching. I've rebooted the PC, reloaded the application without success.
I am trying to synch my adress book with my corporate BES 4.1. It was working fine up until a week ago when I noticed some contacts were not downloading from my outlook address book. After trying to download the address book a couple of times I wiped the addresses out by deleting the Desktop (SYNC) file from the service book and tried to resync with the server. This time it looks like it is downloading all of the addresses (1034 of them) but when I go to the adress book there is still nothing there. The Desktop(SYNC) file reappears but no addresses.
While I connect my blackberry and see the contact in media, I could see all my contacts but I cant see my contacts from the phone. how to see all the contacts from device. Just to confirm that there is no filter enable on my phone.
My address book on my curve 8530 won't let me add a new contact, edit existing contacts, and view some contacts. I can still call,text, and email from the address book. I can delete.
i have bb curve 8520 and cant seem to add contacts at all does any one no wot i can do iv rebooted my fone to see if that sorted it but nothin any one got
I have BB9220. Recently I changed my SIM card and now when I am trying to restore my previous address book, only 60% of my last address book is getting restored and still the DTM says that all items of your address book were successfully restored whereas only 60% got restored.I have tried it with and without email wireless synchronization, but of no use. Can someone help. You know life becomes miserable when you loose your decade long address book.
My blackberry addressbook won't open on my Blackberry curve 8520! I cannot save numbers and call some contacts. It is really difficult too use my phone now!
How can I delete all contacts in the Address Book?
OR
How can I get a new contact list to over ride an existing contact?
be aware that I have more than 2,100 well sorted contacts in a current T-Mobile 4G Slide contact list. I think that the deleting is the cleanest solution, but I'll try anything that works.
I have a curve, 8520. When I add a new contact to my address book, I find that it disappears when I remove the battery and reboot my phone or a few days later. However, older contacts that were saved on my previous phone, before I had my blackberry, do not get deleted. It is not the memory card as I tried saving a number without the memory card and the same thing happened.
I want to import my Adress Book from my old BB into my new Curve but the new software doesn't let me read my saved LoaderBackup-(2012-01-11)-1.ipd and tells me that my 'Dimmed data entries are read only'. Is there a way to unlock my backup?
