Copying contacts from N900

Can anyone help?  I would like to copy my contacts from my N900 to my new work phone, they are all syncd in Ovi Suite but I cannot seem to find a way to copy them.  Old phones were simple copy to sim!  I have tried mail for exchange but unfortunately this has never worked for me on the N900 I always get same error message re contacting the server!  I would really like to be able to use the same contacts on my new phone to save me having to input by hand.  Anyone know how to do it?

Thanks for the reply, new phone is iphone4.  The N900 is my personal phone, but I also use if for work thats why all my contacts are on it.  We have been issued with iphones now and they insist we use them to access data on a new system.
 I have over 600 contacts which I will have to put in manually if I can't find a way round it. Iphone will not transfer data from N900 using bluetooth either!

  • How can I copy contacts from n900 backup to n9.

    Hello,
    my n900 has just died (due to falling one time too many). I bought a N9 as a replacement.
    I only have my n900 backups (made with the in-phone default bakcup application, osso-backup).
    How can I read my contacts into my new n9. I tried just copying the n900 backup directory into n9 and restoring with the n9 backup program, but that didn't work out.
    I've checked the backup-files manually, and can read contac information from the unpacked Root\home\user\.osso-abook-backup\adressbook.db with a text editor, but I can't figure out a way to transfer non-manually into the n9.
    I have access to both vista & ubuntu computers (no windows 7 nor mac).
    Solved!

    ok,
    I managed to solve my problem by editing the addressbook.db I found inside the backup with a text editor and then reading the resulting multiple vcard file into gmail contacts and them adding a mail for exchange account on my n9 and finally syncing with the gmail contacts. Phew!
    I still wonder why there was no "read a vcard file" option in the n9 contacts import menu.

  • How do i copy contacts from one apple id to another?

    how do I copy contacts from one apple id to another?

    I assume you mean you want to copy them from one iCloud account/ID to another.  If they're synced with iCloud go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, when prompted choose to Keep on My [iDevice], then delete the iCloud account, sign into the other iCloud account, turn Contacts back to On and when prompted choose Merge.  Note: when you delete the account it only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud.  If you then want to go back to your previous account, delete the iCloud account from your device, when prompted choose Delete From My [iDevice], sign back into your other account, turn your iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted, choose Merge.

  • How do I copy contacts from an old SIM card?

    Is there a way to copy contacts from an old SIM card to the iPhone? Thanks

    the process i went thru was vigorous but it started by going to at&t and they sold me a flash drive for $15 and they transfered my numbers on there and then when i got home i had to go to att.com/support and type into the frequently asked questions, transfering contacts from sim to iphone and they gave me a program to download which extracted the numbers onto outlook and then i just synced my contacts from outlook but the at&t store will make it sound simpler than it seems

  • Copy contacts from iPhone to Address Book in Outlook

    Hi there,
    I'm asking to see whether it's possible to copy contacts from an iPhone to the Address Book in Outlook, reason why I ask is that I am trying to help my Managing Director with his wife's Outlook issue as described in the following link http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-outlook/outlook-cont acts-wont-display-in-address-book/e7c919cd-3e68-4cab-9b21-4e0080827e21?tm=142262 7591302, if so please could you either instruct me on how to do this or to point me to some references on how to go about this.
    Kind regards,
    RocknRollTim

    I have the same problem, sort of. When syncing iPhone with Windows Address Book, address entries that have more than one email address, get synced with only one email address. My only work around was to switch syncing address books from Windows Address Book to Outlook 2003. Now that iTunes 4 had messed up iPhone syncs with Outlook 2003's I've done one final sync with Windows Address Book, turn off the sync address feature in the sync window, and manually updated my address entries manually on the iPhone. I hope that Apple fixes this issue with Outlook 2003 soon, cause this is not why I shelled out $599 for a Treo upgrade!

  • Can't copy contacts from device to SIM on Blackberry Z10

    Good day!
    I'm trying to copy the contacts from device Blackberry Z10 to a sim-card, I go to the Contacts in menu, click "Copy contacts from your device to a sim-card", the phone displays "some information about the contact will not be copied to the sim-card," I go to the call, Contacts (on SIM), as seen nothing to copy, as it was a couple of contacts and left. Tell me, are there any other ways to copy the contacts from your device to SIM?
    Thanks in advance!

    that guide covers what the BB developers were supposed to implement. That fact is that in OS 10.1 it doesn't work that way. But most BB OS 10 functionality is still Alpha quality, not fully working, even core apps like Text messaging don't really work acceptably well for a production device. 

  • Can you copy contacts from PHONE to SIM?

    Does anyone know how you copy contact from  your phone memory to your sim card?? I have a backup phone which I use sometime when I go out but when I swap the sim cards over the numbers aren't ont here and I end up retyping them all.

    Hello,
    See this KB:
    KB04205Copy a contact to your SIM phone book
    To my understanding, it is a one-by-one function and not an "all" function. Mainly I believe this to be due to the fact that the SIM can only contain one phone number per contact while the BB Address Book can contain multiple addresses per contact.
    Good luck!

  • Can I copy contacts from iPhone to iPad

    Can I copy contacts from iPhone to iPad

    Sort of........I'm going to assume you're a Windows person?  When you sync your iPhone, you would direct where you store the iPhone contacts.  Again, assuming you're Windows, you have the option to store them in Windows, Yahoo or Google.  You do this by opening your iPhone after sync and click Information above, which is where the option to store them in Windows, Google or Yahoo is.  Once you've done that, then getting them to your iPad is easy.  After you sync your iPad, open it like you did your iPhone and again click the Information tab above and tell iPad where the contact should sync from (Windows, Google or Yahoo).
