IPhone :: Import Information From Palm Pilot Agenda And Address Book?
Jun 21, 2012
Could anyone tell me if it is possible to import the information from the Palm Pilot agenda and address book to some programs of the Iphone and Iphone?
When I sync my iPhone with my iMac, (Snow Leopard) it doesn't bring in all of my contacts in the Address Book.This is really important.How might I fix? Is it just upgrading to Lion or is something else going on?
I have a vCard file of 300+ personal contacts/phone numbers that I want to import from a very old Palm Address book app and keep entirely separate from the iOS Contacts app.   Im trying to figure out how to import them to my phone/iTunes and maintain them completely separate from the Apple Contacts app, Yahoo mail files, Facebook, Google, etc...... ie. all the other places I have some sort of contact info.Â
I was hoping to find a new Address/Contacts app, download it, import the vCard file of my data that the Palm program will create, and then I'm off and running.  Brand new Address book app that never touched the Apple "Contacts" app nor any of my other accounts.  However it seems that every Address app out there wants to seed the app with data from another address book app....not directly from a vCard file.Â
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?
I am considering buying an Incredible to replace my BB curve and I have the following questions about the Incredible's true capabilities.How does the synchronization of of address book information work with a Mac? Specifically, I have accumulated entries in my Mac address book where the address, be it physical, e-mail, or phone is labeled "Boston" or "Summer Home" etc. and both the BB program and the Mark Space program won't transfer any entries that don't match the rigid blackberry set of work, home, fax, mobile. Will the address book program that comes with the Incredible and any synching software allow the kind of flexibility I have with the Mac address book? Address will be transferred as "Boston," etc. and not dropped. Must I do all this with the Google cloud, or can I transfer data directly from the Mac to the Incredible?How well does the voice recognition software work? At first the voice recognition worked on my BB, but as the software "learned" my voice it became completely useless.How easy is the Incredible to use with one hand?
From time to time, I really need turn by turn with voice commands navigation. Is Google maps really a viable alternative for Verizon Navigator? How well does the Android work with a weak signal? I have seen various complaints about the Incredible working with poor signals. Any truth to this? At my house and office, signal strength varies between 2G and 3G but for either signal fluctuates between -95 and -105 db. Will the HTC work with this poor of a signal? I have heard the screen is hard to read in full sun? How about a sunny day in a car when I am trying to make a phone call? Is it true with the Incredible on Verizon I can get Tethering and not pay extra for it like the BB?
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?
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 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 like my E72 but I have two problems that really annoy me.
1. In the past when ever I would write a new email I would get list of suggested email addresses in the "To" field. For example, if I would was to write the letter S I would get the email address of the people in my address book whose name starts with an S (sam, Sofia etc). for some reason this feature stopped working on my phone and I can't find how to make it work again. if I want to send an email I need to manually write the email address in the "To" field. The auto suggestion feature works perfectly on my wife's phone (an E72 with the same firmware - 22.007) but on my phone it won't suggest email addresses from my contacts.
2. Another problem is that my Gmail that is synced to the phone, through the Nokia Messenger server is locked on "hide emails older than 2 weeks". Now, I have hundreds of emails stored on my phone that dates to February 1st - the day I got the Phone.
Is there a way to delete these emails automatically, without deleting them on the Gmail account itself? It makes my phone really when going through the emails.
Just got my wife a Motorola Gleam and trying to set it up.First thing I need to do is transfer phonebook entries from her old phone or PC to the Gleam and can't see how to do this. I tried Motorola Phone Tools V5 and it didn't recognise the phone.
I am unable to sync my mac address book to my iphone. Iv'e tried restoring the phone, enable/disable icloud, but to no avail. I do have a microsoft exchange acct to recieve my work email. If I turn off Icloud and disable the Microsoft Ex contacts, I have NO contacts on my phone.
I have a vx8700 and i've tried to get bitpim to see the phone.Previously a couple of years ago before I reimaged my machine I had this working. I was able to access the file system and change my ringtone and what not. Now I can't get it to work.So I've tried to use the blue tooth method but when I move the vcf files over it gives me the finger saying the file is invalid...which it shouldn't be as i works fine on the shine. So anyways - whats the best way to move this information over from the old phone to the new one?
Yesterday I noticed that my iPhone had only about 25% of my usual contacts in it. I thought I would sync it today and make sure everything copied over well. Before syncing I checked address book on my mac to find that it was completely empty.
Any idea why these would be missing? I have a backup but it is from before I got my iPhone 2 weeks ago and had my contacts carried over from my old phone I can recover the contacts, but it would be a slow and long process and I don't want to have them go missing again.
I am "on" iCloud but reset of iPhone to factory settings lost all contacts. Info is still on the iPad. What is the best way to get the info back to the iPhone? ICloud?
I've been having problems with duplicated contacts for ages, probably because I sometimes sync with mobileme and sometimes with iTunes. Some contact names have a person's name with a massive list of random email addresses and other names started popping up which were wrong. I downloaded an app called DeleteQ to remove the duplicates and now it's gone completely nuts. The wrong names are popping up all over the place when people call and text. People's details are all jumbled up.
It's got a phone number that's repeated for hundreds of email addresses. My address book on my mac has similar problems, but I think it's in a much better state than my phone, but it's hard to tell. I've tried replacing my phone contacts with my computer address book contacts, but I think that's led to more duplication. I don't intend to move to iCloud until Lion improves with a decent update, which I'm mentioning in case anyone here recommends moving to iCloud.
I am trying to sync my contacts from my iPhone 4 to Address Book on my mac.My Address Book is currently empty. My Google contacts are empty as well.So Is there a way to send my contacts to my Mac? and sync to Google contact as well?
I have configured in my iPhone settings to sync my mail, contacts and Calendars with my Google account, and it works when I input new data on my computer, but when I enter new contacts or dates on my iPhone, it doesn't translate to my computer. How can I get it to sync "both ways"? (BTW, iTunes recognizes the iPhone, as does iPhoto, so that's not the problem).
When I try to sync my iPhone with my computer, Contacts entries are not being transferred to my Mac's Address Book. They are, however, going from Address book to the iPhone I don't understand why. Here is my set up:
Computer: OS X 10.6.8
iTunes: 10.6.1
Settings in iTunes: Synch all contacts is on. Everything else contact related is off. Back up to computer is on. Back up to iCloud is off.
I finally purchased an iPhone, after using a Macbook Pro (before that, a Powerbook) for years. I'm trying to add the number of a recent call to a specific group in my phone's address book, but can't figure out if this is possible. At present, I can add it to my address book, which contains approximately 1,000 entries, but can't add it to my current contact list, which is the one I use for the phone. If I need an app for that, recommendations welcome.
Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7), 2.4 GHz with 4 GB SDRAM
