Address Book RSET has wiped all contacts not just the unwanted ones

I'm on an 8520 Curve running v5.0.0.681.
I recently added an e mail account for my wife. In adding it, I allowed her contacts to be synched in. After deleting the e mail account, her contact list stayed (all1700 of them) swamping my contacts.
I read on these forums that using RSET in Address Book Options would remove the list. It did but also removed all my contacts. There is no back up on a PC or on my SIM. I can't even add contacts manually as they refuse to save.
Any ideas on how to get my contacts back or at least to allow them to be re-input manually?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've solved this myself now.
The problem was that in doing the RSET it got rid of the address book from the BB phone. Address book was effectively not installed.
I followed http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB2...
I have my contacts back too as they were synched with my e mail account contacts. I still have the issue of deleting all the contacts from my e mail account that I don't want on my phone.
BB should have better warnings on using RSET

Bugreport: Seed updates all languages, not only the selected one

I just encountered a "Bug" when seeding a multilingual translation.
It looks as if SEED would insert only values for the chosen language mapping (good!), but in case of an update overwrite the values in all languages, not only the chosen one.
I know it is not that bad, but causes some irregular statistics after seeding.
e.g. my applications main language is "eo", language mappings for "en", "de", "es".
When i change a single text (e.g. button label) in the main app and do a seed for "en" i get "3 existing attributes updated and may require translation" (because there are 3 languages...). when i do a seed for "de" right afterwards i get "0 existing attributes updated and may require translation".
brgds,

Apparently you have more choice than you are aware of. Thunderbird has three ways to sear messages.
I am guessing from what you say that you want to '''find''' (Ctrl + Shift + F) instead of '''global search''' (Ctrl+K) or '''quick filter''' (Ctrl + Shift + K)
Note that global search offers options

My original Apple ID is associated with an email address that I no longer have access to. How do I reset the system to recognize my new email address as my primary point of contact and erase the other one?

If when you go to icloud.com and sign in with your current iCloud ID you see all your iCloud data there, you can safely sign out of the iCloud account on your Mac and choose Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the current ID. This only deletes the data from your Mac, not from iCloud. Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in after a brief delay as it redownloads. If you have automatically imported your photo stream photos to your iPhoto library you won't lose them either (if you haven't, save them to your library first).
Again, only do this if when you go to icloud.com with your current ID you see your iCloud data there.

Option Click on the Volume menubar icon doesn't display ALL airplay devices, just the last one used

Option Click on the Volume menubar icon doesn't display ALL airplay devices, just the last one used. I've seen other peoples display all their devices. Why can't I?

I've discovered that those screenshots where you see more than one speaker listed in the menubar icon are actually bluetooth devices, not airplay. When you check the shot of the system preferences pane and see them all listed there too, the Type says Bluetooth. Not sure why bluetooth gets them all listed and apple's own airplay standard does not. Hope a developer writes a mac app to do it!

Empty address book in PC removes all contacts in 3g iPhone??

I downloaded my contacts from my old phone onto my PC and saved them into a address book file then into Outlook Express and then initially loaded them into my iPhone, without problems. I then spent hours making adjustments and amendements on the iphone, including adding new numbers. The next time i synced my iPhone I expected it to update the PC with the new information but instead it changed the contacts stored in the phone back to the original (incorrect) ones!!
This has happened twice so much so that I am afraid to sync the contacts again as I will lose my new numbers which are on the iPhone.
I have now manually made the corrections and additions to the address book file and saved them BUT i although I can open Outlook Express when trying to open the address book I get an error telling me to re install it. When OE opens the address book fields are completely empty!!
OE came pre-installed thus i do not have the disc to do this!!
Any suggestions as I have no back up of contacts now?

Hello StreetTriple,
Based on what you've described, it seems very likely that there is a fundamental issue with Outlook Express on the computer. Outlook Express is a pre-installed program that you should be able to reinstall from the Vista install disks that came with your system.
If you do a web search for "reinstall Outlook Express Vista" you may find the means to get a fresh copy of Outlook Express onto your Vista PC. Otherwise, you'll need to contact your computer manufacturer or Microsoft Support to get it back onto your system.
You can try this syncing troubleshooting article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692
If Outlook Express opens successfully in a new User on the computer, you can use it to backup your contacts. You need to create at least one contact in Outlook Express before syncing, otherwise there won't be an Outlook Express data file for iTunes to sync your contacts into.

Dialogue tick boxes un-hiding all fields, not just the ones where value has changed to true

I am hoping someone can help me make what I want to happen, happen if certain check boxes are ticked withing the dialogue box
right now I can see on the console print that the tick box turns the value from false to true but the OK button is also un-hiding all my fields rather than just the ones where the value has turned to true. What am I missing here

You're missing some curly brackets, using the incorrect equality operator, and using the long deprecated field.hidden property. Try this:

    if (Signors.bChk2) {
        getField("Signor1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date2").display = display.visible;
    if (Signors.bChk3) {
        getField("Signor2").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff2").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date4").display = display.visible;
    if (Signors.bChk4) {
        getField("Signor3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date5").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date6").display = display.visible;
    console.println("Chk2:" + Signors.bChk2);
    console.println("Chk3:" + Signors.bChk3);
    console.println("Chk4:" + Signors.bChk4);
    console.println("Chk5:" + Signors.bChk5);
I don't know if that will deal with all of the problems, but it's a good start.

Is there a way of getting all my songs from my iPod to my itunes, not just the purchased ones?

Basically, our computer crashed not long ago, and since then we have had all the stuff from our old computer taken and put on the admin of a our new computer. However, my music files seem to have disappeared, including the ones that were in Windows Media Player that were also on my iPod (a nano). I connected my iPod to iTunes after downloading it from the Apple website, but only the songs I have purchased from iTunes Store have been transfered to the iTunes library. Is there a way I can retrieve all the other non-Apple files from my iPod to the iTunes library, thus making it safe to sync them both without fear of losing more songs?
Thank you!!

We can't recommend a product, but we can point you to the direction of iLounge which they will know what currenty works to bring all your files off your iDevice back into iTunes.
I also have some recovery options and advice here:
Recovery options:
A: If Windows isn't booting:
You need to boot the computer from a "recovery disk or USB" that has a operating system on it and a graphical user interface to transfer files from your boot drive to a external drive.
I suggest using the Easy USB Installer to install Ubuntu 10.10 onto a 2-4 GB USB key.
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
or
burn a ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 or PartedMagic to a cd-r with ImgBurn or Win 7 right click and burn
You can use Disk Utility in OS X to select the ISO and burn to cd/dvd as well.
Once you have it installed, consult this page for your BIOS boot key to hold to get into the BIOS.
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/a/biosaccess_pc.htm
Plug the USB into the back (if possible) of the computer, connect the external drive and enter the BIOS, set the USB (or CD) as first boot and SAVE.
Boot off the USB/CD and "Try Ubuntu/Run from disk" DON'T INSTALL. (Parted Magic loads into RAM and ejects CD)
Once in, go under the menu Places > Computer and transfer your files to the external drive just like you would in Windows, drag and drop.
(If using Parted Magic double click on the Mount Drive left icon twice, use the two GUI windows to transfer files to external drive, unmount drives, log out/quit in the lower left corner menu option)
B: If the computer hardware isn't working, but the drive might still work:
You'll have to remove the power cord and manually extract the hard drive. This might result in some damage.
There is a powered IDE/SATA to USB adapter for sale online for $20 that you can take that internal hard drive and use it like a external drive to access your files from another Windows machine.
C: If your iTunes content is deleted...
It might be recoverable if it hasn't been overwritten yet by fresh data. Undelete software works by reading the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, not what the OS says.
You need to use undelete software pre-installed before the iTunes content was deleted, or while on a bootable cd/USB and a external drive to transfer the recovered files.
You can also install undelete type software on a new machine and USE STEP B above to "undelete" the files and recover them directly to the new computer.
You can't install undelete software or recover files to the same drive your attempting to recover from or it overwrites the deleted data.
D: If the hard drive doesn't work and...
The data isn't worth spending $2000-$3000 in a ATTEMPT at platter dissection recovery, then your finished
If the data on the drive was encrypted, data recovery efforts may be futile, unless it's a encypted file and you transfer it successfuly and have the password to de-crypt it.
E: If you have a "iDevice" with any content
It can be synced back into iTunes, check at iLounge what third party software works reliably now and for your version.
Once you log into your iTunes account, you can sync ONLY iTunes purchased content back from a iDevice
Third party software can recover just about all the items on a iDevice, regardless of it's origin. (can't recommend such software here)
F: If any of the above is too hard, or the data is of "critical importance"
Then seek professional computer or forensic level recovery services.
Get help from someone who has done this sort of thing repeatly and can almost guaranty 100% results.
There is Linux software that can "rip" all data off a iOS device if that level of attention is needed, seek a professional service.
Hope this helps in your data recovery efforts.
Please, backup your data, it's the only thing us IT professionals can't recover.

Close tab groups actually closes tabs rather than just the grouping. How do I recover all tabs, not just the last 10? Pages and tabs are not in recent history.

I had a problem with tab groups - if I mistakenly close tab groups, I can only recover the last 10 tabs.
I had a window with many more than 10 tabs which I reopened each session by going to History > Recently Closed Windows. I knew this was risky - I could lose this if I did not keep it in an open window or recently closed window. So I was looking for a way to save this window with all the tabs. I looked into tab groups and, not knowing what I was doing, I closed the groups of tabs. There seems to be no recovery for other than the last 10 tabs. And open tabs are not necessarily in recent history if I have not accessed the tab and refreshed.

I don't use tab groups myself, but I know of a way to increase the number of closed tabs that Firefox remembers. Unfortunately, it's not retroactive...
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the following preferences and enter the preferred new value:
(A) '''browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo''' (default: 10)
(B) '''browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo''' (default: 3)
Regarding what is in history, by default, Firefox will load tabs on demand when you restore a session, rather than loading every single tab immediately. If you turned off that setting, or if you visited all the tabs, then those pages should be in history, but finding them amidst all the others would be quite a challenge...

How can I get a digital WDT that includes all samples, not just the one for the current time step...?

See block labeled ''digital data'' in my attachment for reference. Currently, only the digital data point for the current time step can be seen (it is deleted before the next one appears). However, I would like it display all the samples in the table like in the example found at this link under ''Digital Waveform Control'':

Hey westerman111,
If you're looking to produce have your display include the solution information from previous solver steps, you will need to buffer the previous data. The way to implement this in a Control Design & Simulation Loop is using the Memory.vi found under Control Design & Simulation > Simulation > Utilities > Memory.vi. It will allow you to save previous information generated in the simulation environment for letter solution steps.
I've attached an example that should get you started in using the Memory.vi.
I would also make sure that what you're looking to accomplish is suitable for the Control & Simulation Loop. I know you mentioned you were new to LabVIEW so I wanted to make sure you were heading off in the right direction. Is there a particular reason why you are using the Control & Simulation Loop instead of a standard While or For Loop? The Control Design & Simulation loop is unique in that it calculates the solution of a dynamic system at a prescribed time step and ODE solver. It also provides the tools to interact with the model you are solving during execution. However, if you are simply looking to perform data acquisition and measurements (instead of dynamic model simulation) I would recommend using standard LabVIEW functions.
Here are some useful references for getting start with both LabVIEW and the Control Design and Simulation Module.

I have the newest IPad and want to download photos from my computer to the IPad. The instructions say to put photos under My Pictures, but I have thousands of photos in that category. I don't want to download all my photos, just the newest ones. Help!

I have the newest IPad and want to download photos from my computer. However, I have thousands of photos stored under My Pictures on my desktop. How can I transfer just the newest album to my IPad? I'm afraid that all the photos will be downloaded. Please advise.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Address Book won't sync with contacts on mobile.me anymore

I have a iMac 5,1 with MacOSX 10.6.4, mobile.me and an iPhone (4.0.2). For many, many years I have had Address Book which quite happily was in sync with the more recently acquired Contacts in Mobile.me. But now, my Address Book isn't syncing with Contacts. And the Contacts on my mobile phone syncs with the Contacts in mobile.me rather than with Address Book. I've tried all sorts of combinations of syncing to no avail. Can anyone please tell me how to ensure that Address Book syncs with Contacts in mobile.me and I would want Address Book to overwrite Contacts. The huge ongoing number of duplicates is another problem but there are many threads I can see that will help me solve that problem.
Thanks

I am having this problem, too. Gmail is my mothership, all the contacts and groups are hosted there, I just want to pull it down to my iMac and my MacBook.
The process seems to work fine on the iMac, but I sync an iPod to that Mac almost every day. I do not sync a device to the MacBook, and it does not get Address Book updates. I feel strongly that the mobile device plays a role in the sync. I will try to sync an iPod to the MacBook, and see what happens. This is a valid test, but I am not willing to erase my iPod every other day just to keep my Address Book up to date on my laptop. This should work better.
I wish there was a tool for contacts like Calaboration. Calaboration makes my iCal sync both ways to Google, and works breath-takingly well.

I had duplicates in ical and address book. i got all deleted, but now when i import ical that was backed up, it goes away in a few seconds. my address book still has duplicates.

I have a mobileMe account. I had duplicates in my address book and ical. I got all deleted and tried to import info back. Now my mac will import ical saved file in .icbu for only a few seconds and my address book still has duplicates.

Not sure why, but now I have two of everything. GREATTTTTTT.

Address Book RSET has wiped all contacts not just the unwanted ones
