Email / Contacts / Calendar sync with @live.ca account

One step forward Two steps back!!!
I am just about ready to give up on BlackBerry
Right from the beginning not ALL my @live.ca contacts would sync to my Q10,after 3 tries I typed them in manually.  But now after the latest update (10.1.0.4181) both contacts and calendar no longer sync at all!
Beyond frustrated!!!

Syncing with cloud-based databases has been problematic for me too. I synced to my Apple iCloud account to get my contacts on my new Q10 but after that initial sync it stopped working. I set up GMail contacts and it never worked. I've also tried Live/Hotmail contacts and got nowhere. BlackBerry Link doesn't sync my contacts on my Mac either. So I'm back to maintaining two contact lists - on my Q10 and on my computers. It wasn't so bad because I had to do that with every phone I've owned until I used an iPhone. As a Mac user the iPhone is a dream as far as syncing contacts and files with iCloud.

  • Are Exchange accounts no longer the way to go for email, contacts, calendar, etc. with ios

    I have been reading around and learning that Google is not supporting Exchange accounts for ios7 any longer. I believe they still work if you previously used them. But I've also had some trouble with syncing elements of this account to my iPad.
    Is it recommended to use Google accounts instead of Exchange with the iPad/iPhone?

    Thanks. I cannot get all the calendars to sync with Google Exchange. So I double up with Google and select the calendars that won't sync.
    The down side of Google is that you cannot change colors of calendars (and I have a few that are obscuring each other). That's the main reason I am syncing to both at once (or rather to the obstinate calendars).
    I'd love to find a way to get all cals to sync via exchange, but they won't, above all my main personal google calendar. They work fine on the iPhone, just not on the iPad since I deleted the account and reinstalled it.

    One residual advantage of Exchange, when it works, is outlined in this thread.

  • Sync email, contacts & calendar on Live, iphone, PC

    I want to sync email, contacts, and calendar on my iPhone and PC just like
    it did with my blackberry, but I want to use a live mail account (or gmail or
    other provider if Live won't work). The iPhone web pages don't list Live email account information any more like they used to. So I'm not sure what is going on with Live email and the iPhone.
    I have an iPhone 2G (just today updated to OS 3.1) with the data plan. I have a Live mail account that I'll be using if possible. I currently have the updated contact list and calendar file that I want to use in Outlook 2003 on my XP desktop computer. I want to PUSH these items onto the iPhone because they have been painfully updated (from multiple accounts from multiple pc and phone upgrades). I want to continue using Outlook on the PC if possible, but want to migrate to using my notebook (that I plan to upgrade from Vista to Win7). I want the messages to dowload to the hard drive on the notebook for archival.
    I know I should upgrade the Vista machine to Win7 before I start trying to
    sync these 3 devices/areas (2 devices and 1 cloud??? ;-)). Once that is accomplished, I want to sync the notebook (outlook email and calendar and contacts) with the iphone (email, contacts, calendar) and Live (email, contacts, calendar). Will opened email show as "read" on the other devices at next logon? Will calendar updates work properly from any location and propagate to the other devices? Same for Contacts: can I change one anywhere and have it properly update at the other two locations? What about deleting email messages (or contacts, or calendar items), can it be done from any of the 3 and propagate to the the other 2?
    Can it be done? How?

    Google does not support Push access for recieved messages when accessing the account as an IMAP account.
    Google does support Push access for recieved messages when accessing the account as an Exchange account, but Exchange/ActiveSync is a new protocol for Google.
    I have no idea about service interruptions with a Gmail account, but since Exchange/ActiveSync is a new protocol for Google and still considered a Beta I believe, there are bound to be issues from time to time while Google gets the bugs worked out.
    The iPhone supports Push access for recieved messages with email account providers that provide/support Push access. The iPhone also supports Fetch access with an option for automatically checking for new messages every 15 minutes, every 30 minutes, or every hour. With an account that supports Push access, you can enable or disable Push access, automatically check the account for new messages, or manually check for new messages.
    Nothing personal, but what is the big deal about Push access for recieved messages? What sort of important email do you regularly recieve that must be pushed to the iPhone the instant the message is recieved at the incoming mail server - along with every other message the instant they are recieved at the incoming mail server? To each his/her own, but that would drive me nuts. Nothing I recieve via email is so important that it can't wait for the account to be automatically checked for new messages every 30 minutes (my setting), and I can always manually check the account for new messages in between the automatic check.
    Just trying to help you save what amounts to $8.33/mo with a MobileMe account. I haven't read about on-going regular problems with accessing a Gmail account as an IMAP account. This provides for keeping all server stored mailboxes synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, and you can sync contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process at no additional expense. You won't have Push access for recieved messages when accessing a Gmail account as an IMAP account, but I think you will get by A-OK having the account automatically checked for new messages along with being able to do a manual check in between the automatic check if you are expecting an email of significant importance.
    And in the interim, Google may get the bugs ironed out with accessing the account as an Exchange account which you can switch to when they do - still at no charge.

  • How do you correct the merging of contacts, calendars, etc with other members of your family on your account?

    How do you correct the merging of contacts, calendars, etc with other members of your family on your account?

    Wow!
    I'm not going to be of much use regarding answers but I sure am going to watching this post like a hawk for any replies. My package is a slightly diluted version of this and I do find the BBtalk and data limits hard to make the most of as well.
    If nothing else this totally highlights how complicated BT have managed to make their packages.
    A cynic would assume that they are trying to catch us out at every step and for us to either be overspending or not really getting the moneys worth.

  • I have a question regarding emails being marked as unread when syncing with an exchange account.

    I have a question regarding emails being marked as unread when syncing with an exchange account.
    In the evening I can see I have 10 unread emails on my exchange account. I leave them unread. The following day, at work, I view and read all my mails from today and yesterday, so that I have NO unread messages. When I then sync my iphone it marks only the mails from today as read but, leaves all the mails from yesterday marked unread. Only solution so far is for me to go through the mails on my iphone one at a time for them to be marked as read.
    My mail account is set to sync 1 month back.
    I have had this problem on all the iphones I have had.
    I currently have an iPhone 5 and my software is up to date.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Hey kabsl,
    Thanks for the post.
    What type of email account is attached to your BlackBerry Z10? (POP3, IMAP, Exchange).  Also have you tried removing and re-adding the email account to test?
    Is this email account only setup on one computer or several computer?
    I look forward to your reply.
    Cheers.

  • Is it possible to have my Google calendar sync with my droid but not sync my Google email??

    I love having my google calendar sync with my phone.  However, it is pulling down my email as well with more information than I would like stored in my droid.

    Thanks for your help!  I have been fooling with this and at some point must have turned the "sync" off for email.  Glad you gave me the path to get there and see that it was actually turned off. 

  • How do I set up my iphone to sync with my outlook account?

    How do I set up my iphone to sync with my outlook account?

    Hi maryannmc,
                          You have two options.
    1. You can plug the iPhone into iTunes and select the "Info" tab and choose "Sync Mail Accounts" and this will transfer the settings across.
    2. In the iPhone you can go to Settings > General > Mail, Contacts and Calendars and choose "Add account"
    You will need to know if your account is POP, IMAP or Exchange and this will help determine what settings you need to enter and how to set it up so both your computer and iPhone can receive email.
    The iPhone can add most popular accounts with ease such as gmail, yahoo or hotmail.
    Hope this helps,
    MiFFMaN

  • HT204150 My iphone contacts got synced with my daughter's ipod contacts and she deleted my contacts and now they are gone from my iphone.  How do I recover my contacts?

    My iphone contacts got synced with my daughter's ipod contacts and she deleted my contacts and now they are gone from my iphone.  How do I recover my contacts?

    First, your daughter needs her own iCloud account, otherwise her ipod will sync will all your data (email, calendars, contacts...).  If you have a backup or a copy on your computer, you could turn off iCloud syncing on your iphone, then restore from your contacts via iTunes.  After you get a new account for daughter, you can then turn on iCloud.

  • Controlling how often my Q10 syncs with my Gmail account

    I cannot seem to control how often my Q10 syncs with my Gmail account. I have adjusted the settings for Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts several times, but it seems to pull the emails frequently (within an hour) regardless of the setting. I want to control the syncing manually. What am I missing? The phone is brand new and unlocked, running on AT&T, and this happens regardless of whether I am using WiFi or not.
    Thanks!
    Solved!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    A few possible variables...
    1) What do you have set for "Use Push if Available"
    2) How exactly is GMail integrated? EAS? IMAP? POP?
    If the answer to item 1 is yes AND you have GMail integrated as IMAP, then the time interval setting is ignored. If integrated as EAS, it may also be ignored as well as the "Use Push..." setting might also be ignored. If integrated as POP, then there is no Push, so your time interval settings would be utilized.
    So, depending on the combination of factors, it may or may not be doing exactly now what it should be.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • ITunes settings reset with every new version, and I get: "...the information on the iphone is synced with another user account"

    Windows 7 64-bit with MS Outlook 2010. I've seen this now probably 10 times. When I first installed iTunes, I selected:
    Preferences -> Devices -> "Prevent iPhonse, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically".
    and on my iPhone, I selected:
    Info -> Sync Contacts with: Outlook.
    Info -> Sync Calendars with: Outlook
    Info -> Other -> Sync notes with: Outlook
    This works great, and the settings stick.  As soon as apple releases any new version (even minor) of iTunes and I install, I immediately receive: "...the information on the iphone is synced with another user account", and have to merge my calendar and contacts, but then once I get into iTunes, I find that ALL of the above settings (prevent syncing, sync calendar, contacts, notes) get reset and are turned off! I am running as a user account with Admin privaleges, but I don't right-click -> "Run as administrator" when I perform the iTunes update.
    To reiterate, once I change the settings back, things work normally until the next iTunes update at which it gives me that sync error, and resets my sync options.
    Any idea? Thanks!
    -Brian

    Is someone else using the PC and iTunes?
    Create another user for the PC with your name, and try syncing that way.
    This way it wont conflic with the other user.

  • Pre email push not syncing with Yahoo Mail or google cal after HP shut down

    HI.  I have a Palm Pre, and while I knew services going through Palm would be dead after the shut down, I assumed anything that was a direct email push through my cell phone carrier or WIFI would be fine.
    I have however suddenly lost email sync with my Yahoo account, google calendar sync (thought the gmail sync works) and Outlook calendar sync through Chapura sync manager.
    Is this a coincidence?  Is there something I can do to fix this?  It makes no sense that services that have nothing to do with Palm should cease to work!
    Thanks!

    I have set up the account using the iPhone's preset service - which I think means it's an exchange account.
    This means the account was created as an IMAP account with Push access for received messages.
    Surely I'm not supposed to close Mail down in order to receive push notifications? And if so, what does that means for Facebook, eBay etc?
    No you are not. With an account that supports Push access for received messages with Push access enabled for the account with the account settings on the iPhone, when a new message is received at the incoming mail server the incoming mail server "pushes" the message out automatically without having to check the account for new messages - automatically or manually, which is called fetch.
    Removing the Mail app from the fast app switching or recently used apps bar does not quit the app. It removes the app from the fast app switching or recently used apps bar only. The iPhone has supported multitasking since day one with included apps. Removing the Mail app, the Messages app, and the Phone app from the fast app switching/recently used app bar does not quit these apps. These apps are always running in the background so to speak in a suspended or frozen state.
    Yahoo has had on and off again problems with this since day one 3&1/2 years ago.

  • Why doesn't my iPhone calendar sync with my Mac-neither ICloud or USB connections work.

    My iPhone calendar will not sync with my MacPro either by iCloud or USB connection.

    Let's compare the settings on the Mac, I'm also using iCal on my MacBook Pro OSX10.9.5.
    iCal/Settings/Accounts -> iCloud CalDAV selected and activated, set to "push"
    On the phone:
    Settings/Mail, contacts, calendars: Syncing all events in calendar.
    And in calendar app "iCloud"->"All calendars" selected.
    I have no calendars selected in "On my iPhone"
    Are you also syncing contacts via iCloud? If yes, does it work between the Mac and iPhone?
