Backup Assistant Contacts Not Appearing Online

Hello, I've searched for similar problems with no luck. I've installed backup assistant in my old LG VX8575 to get the contacts off so I can download them to my new phone. Backup Assistant on the phone says it's backed up 292 contacts and that I can see and edit them online. But online when I access my account at verizonwireless.com/backupassistant, which becomes wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/nos/ba_nab/overview_def.jsp, the apparently new portal for backup assistant plus, my contacts list is empty. The phone numbers are identical. What can I do now to get the contacts to show up online so I can activate my new phone and download them? Thanks!

Hmm, now they ARE there, over half an hour later. Wonder if they ought to say wait a while and then they'll show in the instructions... Thanks anyway, all!

  • Backup assistant contacts not showing up online

    Hello,
    I am using backup assistant for the first time so that I can import my contacts to my new 4G device. I've run the application from my blackberry, but when I sign on on-line, the website is showing my contact list as empty. However, my backup assistant PIN is being correctly captured, so I know that I am being recognized.
    I've tried deleting and re-installing backup assistant on the blackberry and running again. No luck. Any suggestions? Is there some sort of lag time for when the contacts will show up online?
    Just in case the question comes up, I am the only user on my wireless plan.
    Thanks,
    Ty

    Hi tc4213,
    New 4G phone is always a great thing. Not being able to backup your contacts must be frustrating; however, I'm sure we can find a way to backup and transfer your contacts to your new device.
    First we must make sure that your Blackberry device is compatible with Backup Assistant. The following BlackBerry devices are not compatible with Backup Assistant: 
    BlackBerry 7130e 
    BlackBerry 7250 
    BlackBerry 7750 
    BlackBerry 8130 Pearl™ 
    BlackBerry 8130 Pearl™ in Pink 
    BlackBerry 8230 Pearl™ Flip 
    BlackBerry 8703e 
    BlackBerry 8830
    If your device is not one of the ones listed above, please make sure that your are following the instructions listed in the link below:
    http://support.verizonwireless.com/how_to_use/transfer_contacts/blackberry.html
    Additionally, with a 4G device you will most like create (if you don't already have one) a Gmail account. If you have not created one I recommend to create a Gmail account at http://goo.gl/2Ucuc and then sync your Blackberry with your Gmail account using the Google Sync App and your contacts will be saved online. You can get the Google Sync App at http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/
    Then simply activate your 4G device and enter your Gmail account credentials and your contacts will transfer automatically to your new phone.

  • Access Backup Assistant contacts.  The website is a loop......it behaves as if I'm not logged in.  I have checked and DO have the services (provided for free with my plan).  Phone is set up properly and just synched it to cloud.  Cannot get to the verizon

    Log in to my Verizon account.  Try to access Backup Assistant contacts.  The website is a loop......it behaves as if I'm not logged in.  I have checked and DO have the services (provided for free with my plan).  Phone is set up properly and just synched it to cloud.  Cannot get to the verizon web page to Manage Contacts.

    It may be a situation where we all wait for things to clear up.  The Verizon Cloud has been having issues for a very long time.  Have you tried backing up contacts to your Gmail account, if you have one?

  • Contacts with Multiple Backup Assistant + Contacts Entries

    I have read others with these same issues.  Unfortunately, the responses they are getting have to do with having multiple contacts and joining those contacts.  That is not the issue.  The issue is that each contact has MULTIPLE Backup Assistant + Contact entries.  Meaning, when you you start typing a name to send a text message to, it shows you multiple phone numbers for that person (only, they are all the same phone number).  For example, if I start typing Zoe, it will show you contacts that match, it will have Zoe 555-555-5555 listed 6, 7, 8, or more times.  But wait, that is the home number, how you keep scrolling them until you get to the mobile number which is also listed 6, 7, 8 or more times.  When you go into you contacts and select Zoe, and then go to Edit, you see why - There are 6, 7, 8 or more Backup Assistant + Contacts entries!!!  These duplicates are what we are wanting to know how to remove.  My daughter has only one phone number, but when I click on the her picture in the favorite contacts widget, it shows 2 and they are both the same.  Even the BAL #225 shows up EIGHT times!!!!!   When you go online (to the Backup Assistant), they are all listed there too.  HELP!!!!!!!

    I have no prblem syncing multiple mobile numbers so I don't think it's a universal issue with iOS. The only difference I see is I am using CardDav instead of using the Exchange option. Have you tried it that way? You can urn off contacts in the Exchange account and add the CardDav account separately.

  • Why do my contacts not appear in FaceTime

    Why do my contacts not appear in FaceTime

    Try turning off facetime in Settings > Facetime.
    Reboot the device.
    Turn On Facetime Again.
    (You might be charged by your cellular carrier again.)
    Check whether you get the contacts.
    If not open any contact from the contact Application which according to you is a Facetime User and check whether you find Facetime option in that Contact.

  • Backup Assistant will not accept my PIN

    Backup Assistant will not sync from the phone. It keeps saying the PIN is invalid, even though it is the PIN that it sends when asked.

  • Backup Assistant Will Not upload contacts

    I have been unsuccessful uploading my phonebook contacts from my Samsung Galaxy to my online account.  The Samsung app indicates "successful completion".  When I look at my contacts online, there are zero contacts.  What steps should I follow to troubleshoot?

    The best advise I have for you on this is to save all of your contacts to google as Google Contacts if you want something that will automatically back up your contacts real time as in right when you add it to your phone, and if you want it to add ALL contacts and to add them accurately.
    If you do not want to add your contacts automatically, immediately, and accurately, then Backup Assistant is a good choice for this.  I have never been able to get BA to work accurately or consistently since it came out many years ago

  • Backup Assistant does not back up all my contacts

    I am trying out Verizon's Backup Assistant. When I sync my contacts from my phone to the website, it finishes with
    Backed up: 59
    Pending: 0
    Last Backup: Today
    Last Attempt: Success
    However, I have over 400 contacts on my phone. Is this because some of these contacts are linked with my Facebook or Google account? Is there a workaround?

    VZW Backup Assistant will only back up contacts saved as phone contacts.  It will NOT backup contacts saved as Google or Facebook.

  • Backup Assistant Album Not loading - rezound

    I'm positive I don't like this feature, but if it must be on my phone I would like it to work. First many of my pictures have backed up and I can see them online - but they have disappeared from my phone. No idea where they went or when.
    I found that I can go to the gallery and select the backup assistant album (I'm hoping the missing pictures can be seen here) but it just keeps loading and loading. It periodically asks for a password and I enter it...and then continues to load.
    Thoughts?

        Hey elle1096!
    Let's find out where those missing pictures went! I know we do not want you to loose those important memories!  Let's see what happened. Now, there is a settings, if you go under Backup Assistant Plus and Advanced, to keep a local copy of the media or not. This means that once uploaded, you can have the media erased from the device to save storage or not. I would check this setting.
    Secondly, if your gallery is not loading on your computer, I suggest you try another browser or computer to see if they appear there. It may be something with your computer not loading correctly. If it is doing the same thing there, please let us know and we can try and refresh it on our end.
    Please keep us posted!
    Thanks!

  • Backup Assistant is not populating the data to the site

    I have 200+ contacts in my phone that were transfered by the Verizon store.  They also set up the backup assistant for me.  When I sync the contacts to the backup assistant from the device I get a message on the device that says succeded and a time and date which are current.  Then I go to my computer login to  the backup site and no contacts show up.  When I click in the messages tab the messages are there.  I have reset the phone synced about 100 times and still no contacts.  Any ideas?

    If your contacts are saved as Google contacts, they WILL NOT backup to Verizon's Backup Assistant.
    If the word Google is under the Link box (which is an option to allow linking to other contacts), the contact is saved as a Google contact. You can't change it after it is saved the first time.
    From your post above, it sounds like your contacts were uploaded to your Google account and synced to your phone.
    Google contacts are a better way to go IMHO.

  • Contacts not appearing in imessage banner

    I just moved to Australia from the US and got an Australian sim card. When I text my friends in the US, their contact information shows up within the message portal but when they respond, the banner and notification in the lock screen display their phone number as if I did not have their number in my contacts. I have typed their number with +1 and then the nine digit number. When Australians text me, the contact information appears correctly in the banner. Restarting the phone did not help. I have an iPhone 4s and my software is up to date (7.1.2). How do I fix this?

    Did you purposly add the +1? If you are using the dial assist, I don't think you need to do that. This could be why it is not identifying correctly as being part of your contacts. How they have their number identified on their device could be changing it. Try changing the contact to only show the area code and number and have someone text you. Tell them you want to test something on the phone and to text you back in a few minutes. Delete the conversation you had with them, and then change their contact information. See what happens then. You might have to do a reset on the phone, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This may be necessary after you change their contact info.

  • Backup assistant contacts groups

    When I try to use backup assistant online to add contacts to groups, it maxes out at 10 and says I have to delete one to make room for another...  yet if I add the contact on the phone and sync back, it shows 11 people in the group.
    Is there an issue with backup assistant?  Am I doing something wrong. Certainly there can't REALLY be a 10 person group limit??
    Droid Maxx

        SnowRider27,
    I know how important it is to be able to sync your contacts to the app and I'm happy to help. The website may have a limit to the amount of groups, depending on several factors. Please clear your cookies, cache and history, then try again on internet explorer. I will need more information about your phone to see if there's a limit. What make and model phone do you have? Do you have backup Assistant or Backup Assistant plus?

  • Subscriptions not appearing online!!

    Here's a bit of a mystery... My partner's published a calendar online, and I am now subscribed to it. The subscribed calendar has appeared on iCal on my computer. All good so far! BUT... it doesn't appear on my iCal calendar online.
    To increase the mystery, the Birthdays calendar, automatically created by iCal on my computer, DOES appear as a subscribed calendar online.
    Does anyone know how I can get all calendars to appear online??!
    Many thanks!

    Birthdays is a special 'subscribed' calendar.
    MobileMe does sync subscribed calendars, but they don't show on the web interface or on the iPhone when syncing over-the-air. They do appear on another mac syncing with the same account. (iPhone OS 3.0 has introduced a way of seeing subscribed calendars on the iPhone, but this is not syncing.)
    This is what Apple says on the subject:
    Syncing calendar subscriptions and CalDAV calendars
    Symptoms
    iCal can subscribe to various calendars, including some calendars provided by Apple or published by other MobileMe members. You can also use iCal to connect to a CalDAV server (in Mac OS X v10.5 or later). After subscribing to a calendar, or adding a CalDAV account to iCal on your Mac and syncing with MobileMe, you may see some unexpected results on your other computers or devices syncing with MobileMe:
    iPhone/iPod touch with iPhone OS 3.0
    Subscription and CalDAV calendars configured in iCal on your Mac will not sync via MobileMe to your iPhone/iPod touch.
    Outlook 2003/2007 (syncing with MobileMe Control Panel)
    Subscription and CalDAV calendars will not appear in Outlook 2003/2007.
    MobileMe Calendar (www.me.com/calendar)
    Subscription and CalDAV calendars will not appear on MobileMe Calendar.
    Mac OS X
    After first adding a subscription or CalDAV calendar information on one Mac, and syncing with a second Mac, the calendar information might appear on the second Mac, but no events may appear in the calendar.
    Resolution
    iPhone/iPod touch with iPhone OS 3.0
    With iPhone OS 3.0, you can subscribe to calendars or configure CalDAV calendars in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars on your iPhone/iPod touch. Calendars added to your iPhone/iPod touch are not synced with MobileMe, so the calendars you subscribe/connect to may be different on your iPhone/iPod touch than on your Mac. For more information on setting up calendars on your iPhone/iPod touch, see the iPhone Users Guide.

  • Ipod Nano Setup Assistant does not appear!!!

    No.  But you should still have a backup of your user data, including your iTunes data.
