Can't transfer all my address book to new blackberry

can someone please help.
i am currently in the process of transfering across from my old 8300 to a new 8520.
only problem is that only 350 contacts have migrated across out of a possible 600 contacts.
I have had problems with outlook losing the contacts, however the contacts are still there on my old 8300.
Any ideas how to get them across.
tried backing them up using the desktop manager but for some reason it won't work either.
Someone save me a lot of hard work.. please

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Since you did not state exactly what method you are attempting to use, I can only suggest the device switch wizard:
KB16291 How to use the Device Switch Wizard to switch to a new BlackBerry smartphone
However, given all that you have stated (you only have 350 of 600 during whatever migration method you are using PLUS the fact that you lose contacts in Outlook as well), I am suspicious that you may have a corrupt record somewhere that is causing both problems. You might try discovering where exactly it is stopping and seeing if that one record is the cause of all of your problems.
Also -- please expand on all of your symptoms...saying "it won't work either" gives us absolutely nothing to go on...
Thanks.

    How can I print all my address book?

    There is a bug with printing Contacts in ML. If you print from iCloud, I'm told it works.

    You should call Apple Support and give them your Apple ID so that they can verify how many photos you actually do have backed up in iCloud...
    Also, are you able to do an iTunes backup at all? Because that would save all of the photos and allow you to get them onto the new device.
    Apple Support number is

  • Installed Thunderbird on New drive but can't transfer emails and address books drom old drive to new PC.

    I have a computer I built that my dad who uses Thunderbird for his email. We had to remove the C: drive, which was a SSD drive because it was running out of space and replaced it with a Western Digital Veloci-Raptor 500GB drive. I am not familiar with Thunderbird and did not export his emails or address book before I switched the drives. I have set his new Thunderbird account to keep the mails on the server and not the PC. How can I get the old emails and address books from the old hard drive. I did copy the Thunderbird folder from the C: drive and the folder on the E: drive that Thunderbird was installed to. I have read many forums on how to move emails and address books to or from Thunderbird but non are like my situation. Hoe can retrieve the emails and address books from the previous install and transfer them over to the new PC once I have done a reinstall?

    first the old drive... the location varied between windows versions but it is either in Application data or appdata. In vista and above open the roaming folder. Both are hidden folders so you need to show hidden files and folders in Windows. Within that you will find a Thunderbird folder.
    The sub folders of that are the profiles, but simply copying the Thunderbird folder over it's like in the appdata\roaming of Vista and above will replace the existing with the old.
    Copy the actual profile in the folder called profile XXXX.default xxxx being a random string will place two profiles on the hard disk which can be opened individually using the profile manager. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager
    Finally individual folders of mail can be moved using the import export tools. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ You just need to locate the data. Folders are a file with no extension and another with the same name and an MSF extension. They are in sub folders of mail in the profile.
    Address books. see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_address_books_between_profiles

  • I plan to upgrade from an iPad 2 - 16gh to an iPad2 - 64gh.  How can I transfer all my data to the new iPad?

    How can I transfer all my apps & data from an iPad 2 - 16g to an iPad 2 - 64g?

    Transfer your purchases of the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, then backup up the iPad by right-clicking it under 'Devices' on the left-hand side of iTunes, and you can then restore that backup onto the new iPad (a list of what is included in a backup is in this article - it excludes music, videos, synced photos).
    The restore won't copy passwords onto a different device, so you will need to re-enter your email, router, and any website passwords on the new iPad.

    If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?
    This should help you out to sync it back to several non-Apple software:

    In this case you won't be able to do that?

  • I have created a book  in Photo Essay that is extra large (10 by 13") and I just realized that I want a 8 1/2"by 11" book.  Can I transfer all the pages to the smaller sized book.  If so, how?  Thanks so much for your help.

    I have created an extra large (10"-13") Photo Essay style iBook in Aperture and just realized that all my other iBooks are 8.5"-11".  How can I transfer all the formatted pages to the smaller book size without having to start over?  Thanks so much for your help.

    Apple Phan,
    that will require some extra work. If you change the book size, some of your edits will probably be lost, because texts and photos that will not fit the smaller layout will be removed. The best you can do will be to save your current book, so you can compare. Try the following:
    Create a PDF preview of  the current version of the book and save the PDF, see:  iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
    Duplicate the book: File > Duplicate
    Then change the Book Sizeof the copy  (from the Theme Button) and compare, what is missing, hopefully not to much.

  • How to transfer the whole address book from one no...

    Dear friend,
    Could you please advise me "how to transfer the whole address book from one nokia to another nokia phone via blue tooth connectivity. (move one by one is not convenience for my hundreds of contact.
    Thank and waiting for advice...
    victor

    If your phones have the built-in "Transfer" (sometimes called "Switch") application, try it.
    Otherwise, depending on the model(s) you can also copy all contacts to/from the memory card, and get them over that way.
    And you can also synchronize both programs to the same service (e.g., Outlook on a Windows PC using Nokia PC Suite).
    And newer versions of Nokia PC Suite can also be used to make a backup of one phone, and then restore to another.
    PC Suite you can find here: http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite

  • No "Copy All to Address Book" option in SIM menu, BlackBerry 8100

    Hi! I'm new here...so glad I found this forum! I have searched high and low but have not found a way to solve this problem. I've updated my device software, desktop manager, everything I can think of. I even went back into the Setup Wizard and selected the option to copy my SIM contacts to the Address Book. It looked like it copied them over, but when I went to check, nothing showed up.
    I've gone into the Filter menu while in Address Book and nothing is checked, yet nothing shows up. I've gone into the Address Book, then SIM Phone Book from the menu, then hit the menu button again and the only options I have are:
    New
    Call Voicemail
    SMS Text Voicemail
    MMS Voicemail
    Add to Address Book
    Switch Application
    Close
    No "Copy All" option anywhere to be found. This is a BlackBerry 8100. Help! Any suggestions! Filters are off, Setup Wizard's been tried and retried and nothing appears in the Address Book. HELP!
    ~Emily

    Actually, just yesterday I figured out the problem. Once in the SIM address book I only had to scroll down past the "Voicemail" entry a couple entries down and then when I clicked the menu button the option to "Copy All to Address Book" appeared. All that time and all I had to do was scroll past the first entry. Sheesh!
    Thank you for taking the time to reply with another option. I really appreciate it!
