Back up contacts on laptop

I have a government issued BB 8830 Smartphone and have my email set up on it coming in from gmail.  I have multiple contacts on the phone that I want to back up on my personal laptop just in case I damage the phone by dropping it, etc...  I do not have access to an exchange server, I just want to back them up on the laptop. 
Anyhelp on which software to download?  I have Microsoft Outlook 2002 version on the laptop and I am running Windows Vista.
How do I sync it once I have the software downloaded?

  • How do I back up Contacts on my  iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way I export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

    How do I back up Contacts on my  iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way Ican  export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

    Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
    Before syncing contacts with an empty Windows Contacts address book, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data which you want to select. Syncing direct with Windows Contacts via the iTunes sync process is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

  • I lost my laptop I didn't back up and I just bought a new one .How can I get all the songs I bought in itunes store back to my new laptop??

    can someone help me please?
    I lost my laptop on Monday and I didn't back up. I just bought a new macbook air so I know I have to install all my applications and softwares again but I was told I could get my old itunes library I mean all the music I bought back in my new laptop. can someone tell me how to do it or if I can?

    Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. It's your responsibility to make backup copies (as iTunes itself advises) in case something goes wrong with your system, as unfortunately it apparently did in your case, and you lose all the information on your hard drive. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
    For apps, look here for instructions on redownloading.  For songs, movies, and videos, if you don't have a backup of your purchased items, either on external media or another computer and don't have them on an iOS device (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad), you're probably out of luck and will need to repurchase your content.
    If you have your content on an iOS device, post back and someone here can help you get them restored. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it. 
    Regards.

  • HELP! Does anyone know a Data Recovery Expert for I-CIoud? -My calender disappeared during I-Cloud transfer of data from old I-Phone 4 to new I-Phone 5s. It was on both I-Phones then vanished. (It was evidently not syncing during back-ups on the laptop)

    HELP! Does anyone know a "Data Recovery Expert" for I-Cloud & I-Phone? - My calender disappeared during I-Cloud transfer of data from my old I-Phone 4 to my new I-Phone 5s. It was on both I-Phones then vanished. (It was evidently not syncing during back-ups on the laptop)

    HELP! Does anyone know a "Data Recovery Expert" for I-Cloud & I-Phone? - My calendar disappeared during I-Cloud transfer of data from my old I-Phone 4 to my new I-Phone 5s. It was on both I-Phones then vanished. (It was evidently not syncing during back-ups on the laptop)
    The Apple techs are looking. But they can't find it. Nor can they find a back up on my laptop, Evidently when I backed up my Iphone to computer the calendar wasn't syncing. Since I only use the calander on my phone - I never noticed.
    The Apple store rep that sold me the I-Phone 5 on Monday, was transferring my contacts and calendar thru I-Cloud (I never used I-Cloud before that moment - and always had it turned off). He successfully transferred the contacts - which are still on my phone), but the Calendar weirdly split into 6 calendars (2 of which were linked to my G-Mail which only had a few entries) (4 were linked to my MSN / Hotmail email and contained all the major events/data). I never created calendars that were separate or liked them to 2 different emails. I just typed entries into the I-Phone calendar. However, the calendar did exist on the new I-Phone for 24 hours. Something happened during transfer. When the Apple Genius Bar tech was attempting to back up my Calendar & merge the 6 calendars, everything disappeared in his hand while he was looking at it.
    I am hoping that some really good data recovery expert exists that can restore the calendar that was in both I-Phones yesterday. It is completely devastating if I can't recover it.
    Any help, or referrals, is great appreciated!!!!
    Thanks!

  • Overwrote (full) iPod contacts with Laptop Contacts when syncing in iTunes

    Overwrote (full) iPod contacts with Laptop Contacts when syncing in iTunes. Can I get old (full) contacts back?
    Bakstory: Laptop crashed, got restored, but without contacts. Mistakenly thought I could upload them from my iPod. I hit sync. Big mistake. When I disconnected, I saw my iPod has the measley 4 contacts I DID have on my laptop after the crash, instead of the hundreds I had on the iPod just minutes before.
    Note: There is nothing in the desktop Trashcan that says "contacts."
    I also tried to post this question in the iTunes section, but for some reason I can't seem to post there.
    Thanks for any help!
    (Man, everyone agrees this is a design flaw--in how you share info from iPod to CPU and can easily overwrite things you don't want to. They should fix that.)

    Yes, you can do that.
    On the computer that you only want to sync contacts & calendars to just unselect content like music, photos, apps, etc.
    You can only sync content like music with one computer at a time, content like contacts with as many as you like.
    Before you sync your contacts & calendar with the laptop, make sure you have one entry in address book & ical, select merge at the prompt, do not select replace.
    Make sure you disable auto sync when a ipod/iphone is connected under preferences in itunes.

  • Back up contacts from Samsung Reality to Droid 2X

    I went on backup assistant and kept getting Flash errors. I have a Samsung Reality and I am upgrading to a Droid 2x in the next day or so. I wanted to back up my contacts but the FAQ on that subject don't seem to apply to me or the SR - (downloading the BA software). I went through all the steps but when it came to download or purchase the app, the Flash allow dialog pop up froze. Tried it three times. 
    I have a good data plan with the SR - so can I back up contacts or will I have to manually re-enter in the Droid?

    Nevermind! I figured it out!

  • How do I back up contacts in my phone

    Hi,
    Everytime I try to back up contacts from my iphone or ipad it asks me if I want to merge with 142 other contacts and modify several others that are not actually in my current contact list. I removed all the contacts from the windows file and manually typed all the contacts from my yahoo mail so they match. But now I still can't get the 2 updated so they match and everytime I sync the phone or ipad it still wants to add a ton of others that are not needed. I wouldn't care so much if I didn't want to lose my contacts...again but I would like it to modify new contacts and keep a back up of what is actually on my phone and yahoo mail.
    Anyone know how to do this?
    Help..
    Thanks so much!

    I use a PC for itunes - I don't have a Mac. But the application I think is Windows and the contacts are maintained in that file when backed up on the hard-drive. But I removed all of those and placed them in another folder someplace else - as back up (so I don't lose them again) so that folder is empty but it still wants to place all contacts available in on all of our devices.  I used the cloud for my contacts and now it has groups split out will all and then just mine. I can't get away from the merged files. I just want my own set and his set. I update and change my contacts but if I ever need to retore it I won't be able to because I can never back it up on the computer, it will revise and modify then combine all of our contacts.
    I had to re-do our contact lists manually about 6 times now, in all devices too. I just edit and replace/delete so we each have our own but I wish it could update changes made in my phone only. If I don't remember to edit my Gmail or Yahoo contacts those will never be updated with the phone either.
    Any help would be appreciated! Thank you so much!

  • How do I load my hubby's backed up contacts from itune to my phone with his new sim - itunes is registering my serial number and wants to load my contacts

    We are fairly new iPhone users and my hubby lost (misplace he says) his iPhone but we had an another phone (not iPhone) and want to load his contacts onto a new SIM  that he can use on that phone. We have changed his phone number to the new sim.   I thought if I put his SIM in my iphone I could go in & add his backed up contacts onto his Sim but can't see how I can direct iTunes to do this as it must be looking at the phone serial number instead of the phone number which I was hoping it would do.  I wants to back up & sync my contacts/info to his new SIM?  Is anyone able to tell me how I can get his contacts onto his SIM without a new iPhone?
    Thanks for your help.

    No contact information is stored in iTunes. Contact information is synced through iTunes to a supported contact application on your computer: Outlook, Windows Address Book, OS X Address Book. Unless you own a sim card reader/writer, you're gonna have to manually enter these contacts directly on the phone.

  • A while ago i went to sync music onto my Ipod Touch. Not only did the computer erase my music i had no idea how to get it back :( I contacted Apple on the phone but the name was american and i found it really hard to understand him. How do i get it back!

    A while ago i went to sync music onto my Ipod Touch. Not only did the computer erase my music i had no idea how to get it back I contacted Apple on the phone but the name was american and i found it really hard to understand him. How do i get it back! i bought most of my music on itunes but i just dont have any idea where to go and whjat to do can any help me??
    Respond please!

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    What calendar were you syning to? Outlook? Google? Something else? The directions on how to resync vary a bit.

  • Backing up Contacts from Samsung Galaxy S4 to Macbook Pro Retina

    Hi,
    I'm going to change samsung phones and I need to back up my contacts. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and a Macbook Pro Retina, Late 2013, with Mavericks. When I try to back up the contacts through bluetooth the phones pair up but connection is can never be established. I can't even browse the device. So I downloaded Android File Transfer and I can back up pictures, documents, and music, but I don't see where to back up contacts so i can upload them to the next samsung I will have.
    Please Let me know. Thanks

    Dunno if you helps you, but you do need some sort of Android File transfer application. go to www.android.com/filetransfer to get that tool/ You may also need Samsung Kies. (www.samsung.com/us/kies) which should get you somewheres. I don't know if you can use Bluetooth on your MacBook to do that kind of thing. I think it's for mice, keyboards, maybe headphones, but file transfer? not too sure about that. I used to have this old flip phone that used to work with Bluetooth, but that was a long time ago and doesn't really apply here.  Oh, and you know this forum is for Mac Pro's (the desktop Mac), right?

  • Unable to back up contacts and messages..

    Hi every one,
    I am using Nokia N80 for past 2 months.. Few days back i wanted to save my contact info and sms and other notes to my pc for updating my firmware.. When i tried the back up option from nokia pcsuite,it showed error in backing up contact info,messages and all.. It copied few files like user files from gallery.. But not copying crucial informations like contacts!
    When i viewed the report,it simply said couldn't back up.. Try restarting the phone! I did that some 10 times and tried.. It still didnt work!
    Please suggest me some steps and help me to save the info from mobile and update my firmware! Please do help me!

    To have messages contacts and other stuff synch you need to have the phone install the Synch application from PC Suite.
    Use the Get Connected button to connect to the Phone. This is different that just connecting it without the getting connected button. When you use the Get connected it will check to see if you have messaging support installed in your phone, follow the instructions on screen and accept the installation on the phone.
    Now use the back-up feature in PC Suite.
