Contact corrupted after sync

When I sync my computer Outlook contacts with my Q10 using BlackBerry Link (one way to phone only via a USB cable), not only are all changes to contacts not being updated on the phone, but several of the contacts have been corrupted - wrong company names, phone numbers, and addresses, and even wrong names!
Link says that the sync was successful.  I am running Outlook 2010 and the latest Link software update 10.2.1.2976. 
The only way I've been able to fix this is to:
1.  Delete all contacts on the Q10 phone one-by-one(!)  I have almost 3,000.  (Deja Hub doesn't work.)
2.  Sync my old BlackBerry Bold 9930 with my Outlook contacts via BlackBerry Desktop.
3.  Connect my Bold with BlackBerry Link, transfer the Bold's contacts to Link.
4.  Re-sync the Q10 on Link, using the Bold's contacts as the base.
This is ridiculous!  When is BlackBerry going to fix Link??

Well no replys in a week, I guess the users here are not sure what to tell you, I am not sure also, I do not have Outlook but maybe we can find a work around.
Have you tried another computer if possible ? Did you try removing BB Desktop Software ?  While you can have both BB DS and Link sometimes there is issues related to that. Some users found success removing BB DS then reinstalling after the reinstallation of Link.
What is your computer OS ?

  • Podcasts corrupted after sync?

    I've been having a problem where my iPhone podcasts seem to be corrupted in some way after I sync my phone. When I look at my list of podcasts, many of them don't display their running time, and can't be fast-forwarded/rewound when they're being played back. Instead of a time, the following is displayed: "--:--" (where it would normally be something like "45:23".
    Note that when I download a podcast directly on the iPhone and DON'T sync, everything behaves as usual. I've experienced this issue across multiple versions of iTunes, and even between iPhone OS 3 and iOS4. Any suggestions/workarounds?

    Same problem here. When syncing my iPhone 3GS with iTunes on my PC Win Vista 32-bit, the sync completes, but nothing changes on my phone-iPod.
    However, when downloading directly to my phone not using my PC-iTunes, everything is fine until I sync again - after syncing my iPod is empty again.
    No error messages whatsoever. Sometimes it says that some Podcasts are corrupted, but sometimes again they are ok?!
    iTunes diagnostics says everything is ok.
    I don´t get anything into my iPod, not even music.
    Grateful for any help ... out there?

    Duplicate entries after syncing.  My phone went from about 125 contacts to 1,965.  Some contacts are duplicated 30 times!  Tried deleting the contacts and resyncing- same thing.  I don't use Mobile me.  My contacts are synced through my google account.   I tried syncing through outlook and there were 0 contacts on my phone.  Its a 3G so some of the functions like making groups are not available.  Please HELP!!!

    and i guess i should mention i bought it at best buy and they ported my phone #'s from my google phone and when i got home i sync'ed it with itunes and it doubled my contacts.

  • Music and videos gets corrupted after syncing

    I have been having this issue for quite sometime now. It first started when I was using an old laptop to sync my iPod touch 4th gen. Not just syncing, just transferring music and videos. But the videos get corrupted after transferring the file from the laptop to ipod. I thought it was the cable but as soon as used a faster laptop, the videos were transferred without any corruption issues. I reformattd the laptop as it might have some malware or other softwares interrupting the usb transfer but it still gets corrupted. So I thought, the communication between pc and the new ipod system might be too much for an old intel core duo @ 1.6ghz to handle.
    Now, I am using a laptop with intel core 2 duo @ 2.0ghz. The corruption issue is now returning. The music can be played but when playing, it seems like it's jumping, stuttering or something. Please note that it can be played but it sounded like a bad interrupted download.
    For the old laptop, the videos are usually the ones the gets corrupted. For the new laptop, it happened recently during a massive sync I performed. I wonder if there's a usb buffer thing that gets full.
    Anyway, is there a way to prevent this or check which mp3s are corrupted? I have plan to copy all the mp3s using TouchCopy, then compare the mp3s to my source mp3 using BeyondCompare.

    You can't copy music from a i device to a Mac computer. Only from a Mac computer to a i device. So you will have to copy over your iTunes library from your old computer to your new Mac.

  • I can't find the 'contacts' icon after syncing

    Iphone 4s does not show an icon/app for Contacts.  When syncing I ticked the box for contacts.

    Not the iTunes on your phone. I meant the iTunes on your computer. I'm sure you'll find it there.....if not, do a reset of your phone (you will not lose anything).....just press the SLEEP button and the HOME button at the same time ...CONTINUE TO HOLD UNTIL YOU SEE THE APPLE LOGO....then release the buttons....and your phone will re-boot.

  • Ghost contact group after syncing with Exchange?

    There seems to be bugs in syncing iPhone with Exchange. After I connected to an Exchange 2007 account, I have the following groups on the iPhone:
    - All contacts
    - (EmployessList)
    - Contacts
    - WORK
    - PERSONAL
    - TEMP
    I do have WORK, PERSONAL, and TEMP folders under my Outlook contacts, so those three groups are not stranger to me. But I don't understand why other two gets there.
    And I understand the "Contacts" groups are for those in the root of Outlook Contacts folder, which haven't been sorted into any sub folder.
    But the (EmployeeList) group totally comes out from nowhere, I don't have that folder in my Exchange mailbox. When choosing it to view on the iPhone, it is empty. I created a fake name under this group and it never get sync'ed to Exchange.
    Where exactly does it come from, and how could I get rid of it?

    This issue was resolved when I changed something for another error. I guess the email address has to match "case sensitively" with what you have in Exchange account. As soon as that was corrected, the (EmployeeList) group disappeared after a successful sync.

  • Duplicate contacts created after sync

    I support a customer with a bb:
    He indicates that he sync's his BB with Desktop Manager and today after doing so he see's two duplicate contact lists:  default and "desktop".   They both contain identical contact information.   He wants to get rid of one of them.  Which one can he remove and how?

    additional note.  Customer is now finding that the sync is now trying to pick up everything that has ever been on the calendar as a "all day event" (as opposed to haveing a specific time entered) and add it to the current day.

  • IPhone 4S contacts troubles after sync hotmail

    Hi,
    After synchronizing my new iPhone 4S with my hotmail account, I have had nothing but trouble with both the contact list (address book) on my iPhone and with my hotmail contacts (in my hotmail account). Contacts keep randomly disappearing (entirely or partly - only telephone number or email) from my contact list in my iPhone and hotmail has frequently been asking me (when using it on my iMac) to re-enter information on email addresses that have been in my contact list in hotmail for a long time and that have magically disappeared now. This is highly frustrating, especially as this happens whenever, and is definitely not linked to me rebooting my phone or synchronising it with my Mac (I've checked repeatedly). Does anybody know how to stop this from happening? Thank you very much in advance!

    The contact entered on my Mac are not syncing to iCloud

  • TS4036 all contacts lost after sync with icloud

    I activated the icloud using my iphone 4s. Suddenly all of my 1000s of contacts were gone. I hope they would still be there on my desktop (till recent sync). There were probably no contacts in my icloud and it wiped those on my cell. This should have been merge and icloud should have updated. Now should I turn off icloud and just sync my iphone.

    Contact applecare. they have procedures for this.

  • All contacts lost after Syncing with Outlook (Windows)

    Hi folks,
    i had sorted out all of my wifes contacts on her iPhone. You know, all had proper phone numbers, street adresses, e-mail adresses and so on.
    Than i wanted to sync them to my Outlook, but i didn't want some old Outlook contacts to get on the phone, so i removed all Outlook contacts from the contacts folder (made a backup, clever me).
    Then i set the iPhone to sync contacts with outlook. iTunes asked if it's allright if more than 5% of my PC contacts are beeing changed, i clicked "Yes", figured the contacts on the phone are whats interesting to me, nevermind the contacts on the pc.
    So here's what itunes did:
    It copied two new contacts from the iphone which previously haven't been on the pc, to the pc and deleted all the rest from the iphone (except the two new).
    Since the iPhone was my only source of the new and improved contacts, all my work that i have put in there (better part of three hours) is gone.
    I am not sure if i should shout, scream or just enter it all again with dignity...
    Is there any way to restore the contacts? Or to prevent something like this from happening again?

    Yep me too. Installed 10.2 onto my Windows 7 PC. Had no issues sycning with Windows Contacts previously, now I can't get them onto my iPhone 4 at all. Tried all the suggestion from Apple Support, still nothing.
    Very unimpressed.

  • HT4191 Why did my contacts disappear after syncing with 10.7 for the frist time and how do I get them back?

    It also apparently changed all the contacts on my computer. Now I have a only a portion of my contacts both on my PC and my iPod 4g with nothing to restore from. Thanks Apple! Hope you update your crap OS sometime soon. Maybe then my Messenger app will start working again. Maybe then I can use the app store again. Maybe then I can use a working map again. Maybe then I will start using my apple devices again.

    yes, i did too.. will probably just try to restore them from the iphone sync.

  • Nokia E71 and Isync-Delete my contacts after syncing

    Hey guys really need help! after syncing with entourage some of my contacts got deleted for no reasons. I am not sure how many but quite a few got deleted.
    Can I know how can I stop this from happening and sometimes it duplicates the events.
    Please help thanks heap!

    Syncing Entourage with iCal and Address Book and then onto your phone increases the likelihood of duplication or corruption of data.
    In general, the less things you are syncing with the better, so consider switching to Address Book and iCal rather than using Entourage for best results.
    Clicking "Reset Sync History..." in iSync's Preferences may resolve your current issue, but make sure you backup first and keep regular backups in the future to avoid data loss, if this happens again.
