I just purchased the Samsung r330 (through PC Mobile) to replace my dead Nokia 2855i. (PC Mobile no longer offers Nokia;s). The unknown was my contacts, how to get them from one to the other. I was not able to find a direct way to transfer but fortunately the contacts were backed up to my PC (running Windows XP). The process is relatively simple through bluetooth - if your contacts are in Microsoft Outlook. Step 1 - pair the phone and the computer.
Step 2 - Open Outlook - Contacts/ Highlight the contacts you want to transfer.
Step 3 - In Outlook go to File, Send to Bluetooth.I was able to transfer multiple entries at the same time.
I have deleted an old e-mail address I no longer use, but it's still synched to all my contacts on my phone. I have a new e-mail address that I would like to replace it with. I can't seem to remove the old sync and add the new one? Anybody know? I think I can do it manually one by one, but I have like 200 contacts.
My iphone will no longer synch new contacts in my Address Book on my Mac. It was working fine and then I loaded too much audio content and ran out of memory so I think it could not synch properly without memory available. I've since deleted all my audio and have plenty of space yet new contacts in Address Book do not show up on my iPhone even though the synch process appears to complete.
So I added a new gmail email address to my phone but by accident, when prompted told it to synch my contacts with that account. The first thing it did was import all the contacts to my gmail address book, on gmail.com, effectively erasing most of them from the phone. I took it into the t-mobile store and the guy somehow managed to recover about 1/3 of the contacts. So when I took it home, I deleted that email address and just plugged it into my computer and re-synched the contacts from my address book. However, whenever I look in my address book on the blackberry now, at the top of a contact it says "Sychronize using: emailaddress@gmail.com" (Obviously insert the email address I used). But that email address is no longer on my phone, so how is it synched with that? It also I think it is creating problems with synching up my facebook contacts as their pictures no longer show as icons on my phone. It's a minor problem, and seems to be a software issue, but is there any way to completely un-sych my contacts from this deleted email address?
My iTunes music lives on an external hard drive. The iTunes program, of course, lives on the computer. When I am trying to synch Contacts and only Contacts, does the ext HD have to be connected or does the Contacts data live on the computer? I do not store anything in the cloud.
Info: MacBook Pro 15 in (early 2011), Mac OS X (10.6.7), 250G, 500G, 1T Ext HDs; FCE HD 4.0.1; CS 5
iTunes goes through the whole synch process step-by-step including saying it's determining tracks to add etc etc but then it doesn't update the music and often doesn't update the app's. I may have to try synching 2, 3 or 4 times before it will actually applies the changes.
The annoying thing is it will say it's synched & the synch is complete but it isn't and hasn't. I don't receive any alerts saying that the synch coudn't be completed etc.
Presently have around 21Gb free so it's not a space issue. iPhone is latest iOS update & iTunes is likewise.
I had to create a new Outlook profile, but Ovi kept syncing the old one.I changed the name of the new profile to "Outlook": Now sync doesn't work anymore ("Sync. aborted - Please reconnect you phone").How can I fix this?
First my app updates would not complete on the phone for certain apps. i hooked u to my itunes on Win& and it transferred purchases it seemed. But when try to synch get message that synch failed to start. Help!!!
I'm a newbie to iPhones and have just got a 4S. I use Outlook 2007 [not Exchange] as email client along with Contacts/Notes etc.I have previously used Nokia PC to synch specific Outlook contacts and mail folders with Nokia E75 [i.e. just the ones that are relevant] because there are too many folders and other extraneous stuff that will just fill up the iPhone needlessly. Also extremely time consuming and resource hungry to do it all the time. PST is currently about 2.5Gb How do I select just specific folders from Outlook to synch with iTunes/iPhones? The other option would appear to be to use Google/GMail, which seems obtuse when iTunes is already on the computer. it just seems to be a pretty blunt object for a device with such finesse.I am also trying to find out how to make good use of the Blutooth and/or Wifi connection. which is easier/better/faster or is the USB cable the best, fastest and most reliable option?
i have Blackberry 8520, and using blackberry desktop ver 5 installed on windows 7 pro and outlook 2010. when i choose syncronization from configuration menu i recieve "No Available message stores".
Love the phone - just got a really irritating problem. I've synced my phone with my gmail account - the My Contacts list has my key contact email addresses. Then I have multiple groups within gmail account relating to work emails etc, nearly 500 odd.
On the phone, when I click my 'Contacts' button, initially it showed all my phone number contacts, as well all google email contacts mixed with them. I corrected this by going to 'display options' to select 'display only contacts with phone numbers', so that I didn't have to trawl through random email addresses mixed with my proper phone contacts. Great, sorted.
But, when I go to compose a text message - if it is to one or two specific contacts it is fine...I just type their name and it comes up. If I want to scroll through all my phone contacts to send the same message to multiple contacts, big problem - I press that envelope button in the top right corner next to 'enter recipient', and it takes me to the Contacts list, but here it still shows ALL 600 odd contacts with phone contacts still mixed with google email contacts, which is impossible to scroll through and select multiple people to send a text message to....Does anyone know how to sort this out?!??!
Ok, so when I am in the compose message view I start typing a name to send a message to and the phone shows me all numbers for that contact, even if I deleted that number... for example say my contact Lewis upgrades and gets a new number, I edit his contact, deleting the old number and replacing it with the new. Then when I type LEW into the compose message "to" section it shows all numbers ever stored under that name, if you know what I mean..? So i am typing someones name getting multiple numbers even if they only have 1 number to there name.This also seems to be the case if someone registers a number to FB and I overwrite that number with a new number
I spent ages yesterday individually connecting each phone contact to their fb account and then today all of a sudden they all just dissapeared again! I don't want every fb 'friend' to appear in my phonebook, so how on earth do I do this so that it's not going to delete them all each day. This phone won't defeat me, it has such good reviews so I am baffled why I am having problems.
I recently purchased 2 SGS II phones - one for myself and one for my wife. I have this same problem with both of them.When I go into Email and try to pull up the list of my contacts I can only see about 7 of my 50 contacts. The screen will not scroll to display all the contacts.It first was not working on my wife's phone. I checked it on my phone and it was working when I first tried it but it stopped working as I was testing the scrolling function. Now neither phone will scroll so you can see all your contacts.
I have been synching both Yahoo Address Book and Yahoo Calendar successfully for months.Suddenly, Address Book no longer synchs.Yahoo calendar still works.The problem occurs aftew Desktop reads all the contacts.It halts while "Synchronization Progress reading from Yahoo Address Book" displays.That message has displayed for up to an hour with no progress.I then disconnect and halt Desktop.I can still synch Yahoo Calendar.I have not updated desktop or device software.
I'm new to this phone and have input 100 or so contacts by hand and now wanted to sort them into groups. I created the groups I wanted but when I tried to input the contacts to "Friends" I got the message that groups cannot have more than 10 entries. Can this be right? I can't find a setting to change this but it makes no sense. What's the point of groups if they're limited to 10 entries? This could be a make or break for this phone for me. Once I add all the contacts, I can't imagine scrolling thru all of them trying to remember how I input a customer's/friend's/tenant's/etc name.
Does anyone know a way to backup the contacts from a Samsung Mythic to PC? Samsung had the bright idea of removing this feature from the new versions of PC Studio. With the Impression, I could do it with older versions of the software, but the old software does not connect with the Mythic.
I am switching from a Blackberry to the Samsung moment, does anybody know how to get your contacts from the blackberry to the moment? I have my contacts backed up with the blackberry software on my computer but I am not sure how to get the on to the Samsung because I am hearing there is no desktop software.
Does anyone know how to sync contacts to the Reality? I have my contacts on outlook, in a csv and in a vcf format. Figured it out. Here are the steps just in case someone is wondering.
Menu>Setting & Tools>Tools>USB Mass Storage. Copy your vcf contacts to your memory card in the my_contact folder.
Then Setting& Tools>Memory>Card Memory >My contacts,select "move" and select all and then move to phone. This will take the contact from the memory card and move them to the phone.
When i got my Galaxy S2, i had no problems adding photos to people in my contact list, but just recently, every time i search for that contact to add a new photo or update it, regardless of whether the contact already has a photo or not, it comes up with "Contact not found"??
These are the steps i am using (in case there is another way):
* Open photo from Gallery * Touch Phone Menu (Comes up with Share Via, Set as and More along bottom) * "Set as" * Choose Contact photo * Type name into "Find contacts" * Immediately comes up with "Not found"
My missus has just bought the SGS2 - she previously had a Blackberry Bold 9780.The issue we have is getting her contacts from the BB to the SGS2.You cannot copy the contacts to the sim in the BB so I have had to do a backup of them using the BB desktop manager. That saves them as an IPD file.So how can I now get those loaded onto the SGS2?Will KIES recognise such file?
I'm selling my WP7 phone tomorrow and getting a Galaxy S2 sunday when AT&T releases it and wondered if anyone here has come from WP7 to the GS2 and found a good way to back up the contacts for the transition.. I do use Google mail and calendar on WP7 for my email and appointments, are my contacts and numbers saved through Google?
My question is about the contacts. Currently I have Gmail contacts, FB Contacts and T-mo Contacts (my carrier) How can I ONLY use the Gmail Contacts. I also want the phone to auto sync with Gmail contacts to update when ever a change is made.
I have SGS2 Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) updated via kies.
In the contacts app, Im sure there used to be a way where by if you were syncing your facebook account, status updates and media would appear in the contact (In Contacts). This doesnt appear to be the case anymore.
I am about to do some travel and was wondering if this phone would add +61 to your stored contact phone numbers and minus the zero. I am in Australia and just need this Country Code. My wife has an IPhone and she can do that easy in one of the menu's somewhere. Does this phone do this if not is there an app capable of doing.
