Can't Change, Add or Remove Outlook Contacts Folder in Desktop Software

I’m using version 7.1.0.41 of the BlackBerry Desktop Software. I recently created a new updated PST file in Outlook 2010. When I looked at the BlackBerry Desktop Software Contacts Configuration by going to Organizer, then Contacts – Microsoft Outlook: Configure…, Advanced Options: Advanced: Folders, I saw that the Desktop Software had defaulted to the default Contacts folder in my new Outlook profile. This wasn’t the Contacts Folder I had been using with my BlackBerry Curve 9320, so I chose “Select different contacts to sync”, double-clicked on my new Outlook Profile at the Root Level then selected the Contacts Folder I had used previously.
I found I could not use the Green Add button to add this folder and I couldn’t use the Red Remove button to delete the existing Main Contacts file. If I double-clicked on the Contacts folder which I wanted to use, the correct file path showed under “Select different contacts to sync”. However once I clicked OK and then returned to the Advanced Options, I found that it had reverted back to the original default settings.
I did notice that Outlook’s main Contacts file which I don’t want to use has a “Contacts” icon while the contacts Folder I want to use has only a generic folder icon. Under “My Contacts” in Outlook, however, all my Contacts files have the same icon. If I try to sync now, the Desktop Software wants to add all the contacts from my main Contacts group to my BlackBerry, which I don’t want. This all worked just fine before I updated my Outlook PST file.
Thanks for your help with this.
Solved!

I've now resolved the problem. I had an email folder name "Mobile Contacts" which was causing me to use the wrong path. I needed to open the folder with the Contacts icon to get to the next level down where the Contacts folder I wanted to use was.
I couldn't add, remove or delete the folder I was attempting to use because it was actually an email folder, not a contacts folder.

Generally that is a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
or hacked to work with other than the original wireless provider. The update
has relocked the iPhone to the original wireless provider. You must
contact them to see if they provide unlocking and if you qualify.
If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

How can I change the name of my home folder?

Just got a new job. Yeah! Taken over former employees' iMac. I made myself Administrator, seem to be the only log in option. But, my home folder is still in the old guys name. How can I change the name on the Home folder without deleting it and loose all the files? CAN'T loose the files? Help...
Thanks

Changing the existing home folder name is complicated. I recommend you NOT do that.
Instead, create a new User with exactly the home folder name you want, and copy your files over to that new user. Once a few days have gone by trouble-free, and you are certain you have no issues, you can delete the old home folder.
While on the subject of users, Some users prefer the peace-of-mind of using an "ordinary" user account, rather than an Admin account for daily use. This makes it much harder for anything to "sneak" onto your Mac, as you need to authenticate anything to be installed in system directories.
To do this, create a new Admin user, log into it, and demote your daily-use account to a non-Admin user. When actively installing stuff, the Admin username and password will be requested.

I have a Macbook, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4. I also have iCloud on all three devices. For some reason I can not get new information from my contacts folder to transfer to the iPad or the iPhone. Never been a problem before.

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

DESPERATE FOR HELP since downloading a separate outlook (from fast hosts) as addition to office mac 11 I can no longer access any Microsoft aps or documents including outlook - error messages 'can not change to identity for outlook'

I had office 2011 installed on my computer without outlook - been working fine.
I was given a trial of outlook decided against it at time due to cost - however my server provider fasthost have been offering outlook for free with a busines mail package. Trying to install it wouldn't due to the trail versions - so they gave me a step by step guide to remove outlook files.
Once i completed this the new outlook worked fine for 24 hours - however then we noticed all of our office programmes had been removed aka can not access any data and we are a management consultancy. Then fasthost recommended we reinstall out orginal office CD which I did and then all of sudden when download was completed everything now is inaccessable.
When I open outlook the message relays ' can not change to that idenity' I have tried to set up a new idenity and change permissions and even rebuilding it as per on line guides but when rebuilding it fails at the first step
Rest of office IE WORD, EXCEL I just get microsforft has encountered a problem and needs to close unexpectidly everytime I try and click into it.
I am now despirate as this is the second day we have had no access to anything and 6 day we have had no access to our documents \
FASTSHOST do everything via email and no incoming phone line (which they will give anyway) so I really need help
Any options advice greatly recieved
I am also using the most recent software and have been doing regular software updates OS X Lion.

I, too am wondering if it's the download site. I am not aware of any way to download Outlook Mac 2011 alone from any site including Microsoft's.
It is common for unscrupulous sites to offer desirable but pirated software for a modest price, but serve it up with a dose malware. They get you money, possible a credit card number, your e-mail, your IP address, and all you get is pain.
There was an "Outlook Express" for Mac that was freely distrubuted but I'll pretty sure that it never ran natively under OSX. The first OSX native version fo Office:Mac was Office X, and it introduced Entourage as the Mac mail client.
IF Fast Hosts is your ISP, I'd certainly talk to them to figure out what you downloaded.

Can I change/add new folder icons?

What I'd like info on is the icons for folders like pictures, music and stuff like that. I forgot the name for this in Ubuntu but it looks like the same thing is here. I'd like to add some of my own to if that is possible.

you can apply a custom icon to any file or folder by hand provided you have write permissions to them. to apply an icon of one file/folder to another do the following.
select the folder whose icon you want to use and enter command+i. in the resulting popup select the little icon in the upper left corner and enter command+c. then select the second folder and enter command+i. in the resulting popup select the icon in the left upper corner and enter command+v
if you have an image you want to use as an icon, open that image in Preview and enter command+c
then then select the second folder and enter command+i. in the resulting popup select the icon in the left upper corner and enter command+v again.
you can also change the default system icons used for Pictures, Music etc. the best way to do it is by using 3rd party apps like Candybar http://www.panic.com/candybar/ or Liteicon http://freemacsoft.net/LiteIcon/.

My outlook 2010 Contact Groups are not visible in iTunes; only syncs main Outlook Contact Folder, others not synching

I have an iPhone (running the latest device software) and have Outlook 2010 for PC on my desktop. I have several Outlook 2010 Contact Folders/Groups but when I try to sync with my iPhone I only have the option to sync all of my contacts.
When I sync this -- the only Outlook folder/group that is synced is my main 'Contacts' folder/group. All the rest of my folders/groups are not being transferred to my iPhone. I've had this issue for a few months now -- and though I like the iPhone, my old Blackberry nev er presented this problem when it came to the simple base function of syncing. Appreciate your help -- as I am out of answers. Thanks.

Hello kungpow112,

How can i change the background colour of all folder windows at once

how can i change the background colour of all old folder windows at once?

There are, however, thousands of calendar apps available in the App Store. They use the same data that the built in app does. Perhaps one would better meet your needs.
Best of luck.

How can I change the name of the imported folder.

In FCPX, I create a library and create an event then I import media files (clips from an external hard drive) to the event. I choose to copy them to my Mac, not leave them in place. If I select a folder on the external hard drive, it does not matter what the name of that folder is, FCP changes it to a date (apparently the date the files were last modified). This is a crazy thing to do. How can I keep the folder name or how can I change it after I import. Thanks for anything you can say. Mitch

What version of FCP X? On Yosemite, you should be using at least 10.1.2, preferrably 10.1.4, the current version.
Since 10.1.2, you select a location for the files in a Library - this is done in the Inspector. In the picture, I set to a folder called "The folder I choose".
Then on import, you can decide to use the library location, or leave in place.
FCP X organizes the files inside the library location folder in a specific way, similar to how they are organized when media is stored in the library itself.
There is not much you can do about it, and you should not worry. But if you insist otherwise, the only way is to do the organizing yourself and use "leave in place" when importing.

Try to access contacts from BB desktop software (PC)

My BB Bold died and I am trying to get my contacts from desktop software from a backup file. I was told o needed to connect another BB cell to get the info. I have BB Storm and connected it to the PC...what do I do next?

Hello,
There is more than one way to deal with your situation...
From what you were told, you indeed could restore to the Storm:
KB10339 How to use BlackBerry Desktop Software to restore data to a BlackBerry smartphone from a backup file
Then configure to sync to a compatible PIM:
KB12268 Synchronization support for BlackBerry Desktop Software for Windows
KB03315 How to setup organizer data synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Software
Or, you could find a PC app that can extract the data from the backup file, avoiding the use of another BB entirely. There are several, and you can find them quickly via your favorite Internet search engine, and many are free.
Good luck!

Suggestion: contacts editing in desktop software

As I have masses of contacts, I want to be able to easily get at them.
Android have lots of neat ways to make it easy to search, but my new Bb Torch does not.
Unless I'm missing something, there is no really fast way to scroll through contacts - Android gives you a fast scroll button on the screen for this.
Editing contacts is a nightmare - they are all lumped together - whether they are either email or phone, they are still in together. They may have come from different address books, ported from gmail etc.
Can't see a way to merge contacts - where one has an email and one has the phone numbers for example.
It would make life easier to have a function on the desktop manager allowing the editing, merging etc of contacts.
Also, a fast scroll button for the device itself.
If there is anything already out there that could assist, please let me know.
Thanks
Miguel

Hi and Welcome to the forums!
"Automated" merging of contacts is always a tricky proposition...the decisions to be made during such a merge are often beyond the ability of computer code to handle. The human brain is capable of extremely complex evaluations and decisions, with variability in the results on the fly. Computer code simply can't do such things (at least not yet!).
Further, RIM has made an intentional decision to not provide an editor as part of their Desktop Software. Rather, they provide a conduit capability to various popular desktop Organizer applications. This KB discusses those that are compatible:
KB12268Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Software for Windows for synchronization
Hence, the thing to do is:
1) Choose, obtain, and install a desktop organizer from the compatible apps
2) Conduct a 1-way synch from the BB to the desktop organizer
3) Reconcile the data (manually) within the desktop organizer
4) Re-synchronize to the BB and all should be well
Good luck!
