Calendar synch from 8100 Pearl

Hi all,
Hope there is a real clever whizz out there who can help....?
I have read numerous threads and web advice but so far not solved this one successfully so here goes.
My personal phone is the 8100 Pearl but I have been issued with an Apple iPhone4.  Before shutting down the Sim card in the Blackberry and activating in the iPhone, my network carrier (O2 in the UK) advised that all aspects of synchronisation could be done by using my pc as a 'stepping stone'.  So far this has worked for contacts and email but not calendar.
It seems that the file format in which RIM desktop software wishes to save my calendar is not compatible with my PC operating system which is Vista (home).  My network helpdesk advised installing Outlook but the advice forums on this suggest not to when operating Vista.  And anyway, I really dont want yet another confusion to an already confusing problem,  I use Gmail for email and the default phone calendar on my Blackberry.
So the challenge is; how to get my calendar info from a Blackberry Pearl, which is no longer activated as a phone, across to an iPhone.  Grateful for any pearls of wisdom....thanks in advance.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
See this KB:
KB04312How to create and synchronize with an ASCII export file
Using that, you can export your address book to an ASCII or CSV file, both of which can be read by several different programs (e.g., Excel, Outlook, etc.) and are fully compatible with Vista and all other MS OS's...however, I've no idea what your iPhone app is requiring for import.
Good luck!

  • My iphone 5 calendar, synched from Outlook, doesn't display location

    I have recently made the transition from Android to an iPhone 5.  My iPhone calendar events are synching from Outlook, except that the location is not being shown.  This is a serious shortcoming since this is the field that not only is used to show physical meeting/activity locations, but also in my world, the call-in information for teleconferences.  I have actually had to pull off the road and do Internet searches for an address or ask someone else in a meeting with an Android or Blackberry to look up this information for me. 
    Am I missing a setting somewhere?  If this is not an available feature, then can anyone recommend a suitable app that I can use that will provide this basic piece of information.
    As much as I like the physical look and feel of my iPhone and the glass screen, I miss Android's standard back and menu buttons.  Even as a geek and having used my phone for 2-3 months, I still find myself lost and frustrated about not having more control and easy navigational cues. 
    Thank you in advance,
    Paulette

    Are you syncing with Outlook, or with Exchange? I sync with Exchange and the location appears immediately under the name of the scheduled event.

  • E72 MFE - Calendar synch from phone to exchange ac...

    Hi everyone,
    I have had a good search through the threads here and can not find anyone with the same problem that I am having.
    We support a lot of corporate users most of whom have E71's and are more than happy with them. A new starter has been issued with a E72 and I am having problems with the calendar synch.
    Any calendar appointments that I create using outlook are synched to the phone with no problems.
    If I create a calendar appointment on the device it will not synch back to the exchange account.
    I have checked all the settings on the phone and the calendar is set to synchronise through the 'personal information manager' options. I can not see any option for 'one way' calendar sync anywhere on the device.
    Am I missing something here? Also is there a way to turn on logging on the device so that I can troubleshoot where the problem is happening.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dan.

    Are you talking about sync via OVI suite or sync of contacts with your company Exchange Server? Outlook is a client for exchange.

  • Synch deletes all prior calendar appointments from my Outlook

    I am encountering new and undesirable behavior when synching iPhone to Outlook.
    It has worked great in the past.
    Now, it deletes all appointments from Outlook prior to the day of synching.
    And, it only synchs FROM Outlook TO iPhone.
    Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
    Thanks!

    Hi Gus2013,
    Can you please provide a bit more detail on this issue?
    What version of Microsoft Outlook are you using?
    Is it a Click-to-run installation or is it using a connector add-on?
    Are your calendar and contacts stored locally on the computer in a .pst file?
    When your BlackBerry Z10 smartphone is connected via usb, do you have the synchronization options displaying in BlackBerry Link?
    When do you receive the message that the software does not support synchronization?
    Is this when you are trying to configure the synchronization settings?
    I look forward to your response.

  • Just 'upgraded' to Windows Phone 7, now my contacts can't synch from the PC, and Windows Live has a 500KB limit? Is there a way around this nightmare??

    For years I was happily plugging in my Palm Treo Pro, and having my contacts and calendar synch with my PC, WITHOUT the need for that information to be stored on the cloud, where anyone could get at it. When that died recently, I bought a used Windows 7
    phone.
    So far, it sucks. And it's not the phone that's the problem.
    My main issue is that I have diligently exported my (over 5000) contacts from Outlook as a CSV file, and went to import them into Windows Live, only to discover that there's a 500KB limit. That's somewhere around 500 contacts.
    ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? You really need me to set up 10 different files, to import stuff onto the cloud? 
    Please tell me there is a way around this limit, or (better yet) a way to synch directly with my PC, so I can avoid this whole Windows Live disaster?? I want to use Outlook. It's a Microsoft product! 
    Please help!

    Hi,
    I'm not sure about the Microsoft Account Contact limit, for this issue, you may post the question to Microsoft Community:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com
    If you still have the contacts in your Outlook Client, I suggest you setup the Microsoft Account(Windows Live) in Outlook via Exchange ActiveSync, then move the contacts to the contacts folder of the Microsoft Account, let it sync, then all will be done,
    you don't have to export and import the .csv file any more.

  • I am constantly told by Itunes that 107 items are not synching from my contacts. This is a message from the Conflict Resolver that appears whenever I synch. I try to resolve the synch and a text message pops up telling me it could not find the synch serve

    I am constantly told by Itunes that 107 items are not synching from my Ipod Touch to/from Outlook Contacts. I try to resolve the issue and eventually a message pops up saying it could not be completed because it could not find the sync server. This started after one of the updates a couple of months ago. If anyone has found a similar problem and resolved it I would appreciate any assistance.
    Thanks

  • Calendar synch time difference issue

    When I synch between my Windows VIsta Calendar and my Blackberry Curve 9300, appointments synching from my Windows Calendar appear on my Blackberry two hours earlier yet both calendars are set to GMT,
    Can anyone help me to solve this issue?
    Many thanks

    Hello corndoll and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    Have you checked the Time Zone setting in your Microsoft® Outlook® to ensure it's set to the same as your device and computer?
    When you create a new appointment in Outlook, is the Time Zone being used the correct one?
    In your Device, when you go to create a new appointment, is the proper TIme Zone being displayed when creating the appointment? 
    Thanks!

  • 8100 Pearl - Does not initialize

    My device 8100 pearl is having problems starting  up.  For as long as the battery stays, the phone automatically starts trying to boot, fails doing so and shuts down with the red LED blinking at the right corner. This process keeps cycling without ever reaching the stage of the desktop showing up. I have tried reloading the operating system (after dowmloading the desktop manager and the OS from the vendor site, but without sucess. Can anybody please help.

    Thanks for this.  I have spent the last 4 hours trying to do this - I have downloaded the software through the link you gave twice and even downloaded the latest version of the desktop software manager.  The Instructions to update the device I have printed off and On the Application Loader Wizard in the section where I am to tick "Erase all application Date" and "Erase all currently installed Software" it does not allow me to tick the box for the "Erase all currently installed Software".
    Any further tips would be welcome as I cannot upgrade the device software because if this?
    Thanks again

  • Blackberry 8100 Pearl Keys/Buttons stopped working

    Hello!
    I own a Blackberry 8100 (Pearl) and as you can tell by the subject, the keys stopped working!
    I came home from school one day to check my phone, and find out the ONLY things that work on my phone is that the scroll ball can scroll up, down, and right.
    I have taken the battery out, no good. I have taken the Media Card out, no good. I have even taken the SIM card out and this still does nothing.
    I have kept my phone in very good condition, and this is the first time it has had any problem.
    I'm sorry if this problem has already been brought up, but I could not find anything on it.
    Please advise!!
    Derek

  • HT1386 I have an iphone 3G & MacBook Pro. Recently my iCal wont synch from phone to macbook but it will synch the other way round. Any ideas?

    I have an iphone 3G & MacBook Pro. Recently my iCal won't synch from phone to macbook but it will synch the other way round. Any ideas?

    Hi, have you been able to solve the problem? I'm struggling with the same thing. What is even more strange: When I sync from iPhone to MacBook it doesn't show the entry in iCal. When I then sync the MacBook (without having changed or entered anything on the MacBook) to the iPad the original event from the iPhone is transferred to the calendar on the iPad. It seems as if the MacBook transports the iPhone calender entry to the iPad but it doesn't show it on the MacBook at all. I've checked all the settings in iTunes, they seem to be alright, so I'm confused. It worked perfectely in the past.

  • Two-way Calendar synching to Outlook stopped working

    I've had a curve 8900 for years, and have been using it with Outlook 2003 and BB Desktop 6.0.1.18 (bundle 21?) for months.  This week it stopped synching calendar entries FROM the BB, TO Outlook.  It works in the other direction, but it means I have to manually re-create every entry in Outlook, then synch, then delete the original entry on the BB.  I've seen other similar complaints, but no solutions.  Any ideas?

    Never mind.  Crackberry had the answer.  How about fixing this bug, RIM...
