Hiding private contact and other private information

I have used a Palm PDA for years and depend on its ability to hide private contacts and private information while having those not marked private visible. (To view the private information one must enter a password.)
I am trying to migrate from using both the Palm PDA and Blackberry to using the Blackberry 8830 World Edition exclusively. Is this feature available on the Blackberry? That is to have certain information visible only after a password is entered? If not, is there a third party program available which performs that function?
Thanks for your assistance.

The native OS will use the password to lock the entire device.
Yes, black pangolin appears to be the same as safebox. I don't know know about about Safebox or BlackPangolin to recommend it. I have not used it, and I have read show less than favorable reviews of it.

I upgraded to Ios5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?

I upgraded to IOS5 and have lost my contacts and other app profiles - is there any way to get them back from the backup taken before the IOS5 process started?

Thanks but have tried that - When I try to restore I get a -50 error and into a loop of taking another back up. I took a copy of the back up before the IOS upgrade and have it stored on my desk top but I cannot get Itunes to restore to that back up
Any ideas how I can do this?

How to upload pictures, contacts, and other things from my old iPhone

How to upload all my pictures, contacts, and other things from my old iPhone

If you want everything copied over then you can copy your iTunes downloads over to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and you can then backup up your old phone via File > Devices > Back Up - you can then restore that backup onto your new phone (or iPad as this is the Using iPad forum).
Backups and restores : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
Transfer content to a new device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109 (you can also backup/restore via iCloud, but not all iTunes content is redownloadble, so you might not get all items copied over).

If i reset my ipad will my contacts and other datas in my iphone be deleted also? I am using i cloud on both ipad and iphone

IF i reset my ipad will my contacts and other datas on my ihone be deleted also?. both are on icloud

if you "reset all content and settings" your phone will go back to its out of box factory settings

I have an Iphone4 and 3gs using the same apple id and same itunes account. is it possible for them to not share photos,contacts,and other information. I'm afraid to sync one and lose the info the other phone has

I have two iphone users sharing one apple id and itunes account. Can I snc both phones to the itunes account without sharing each others info i.e. photos, music, contacts? I am afradi to sync one and lose the information the other one has.

A solution would be to use Apple's iCloud to sync instead of iTunes. This requires the latest operating system, iOS 5. Now backups will be done to the cloud, and you can choose what gets synced across your devices by turning them off in iCloud settings (i.e. turn off Calendars, Photos, etc.).

I have a restriction passcode that I have no idea what the passcode could be. I know that I need to reset the phone to factory settings but how do go about doing this without losing all of my contacts and other info, etc? (mainly contacts)

     At some point, I don't even remember doing this it must have been so long ago, I set a restrictions passcode on my phone. This has become a problem now because I have so many apps that I do not ever use that take up so much space I can no longer take pictures or put more music on the device. I have read that I need to restore to factory settings but that once I do that I cannot restore to a backup because restrictions passcodes are saved in backups. Is there any way for me to restore my phone to factory settings and then get all of my contacts and perhaps as much other data back as I can? I have tried every passcode I can think of for the restrictions passcode (24 times! to the point that ever time I try and fail I cannot try again for an hour. To say the least, this is quite frustrating as is limits what i can do with my phone on a daily basis, whether it be music or taking pictures and videos etc. Can someone please help me solve this problem without losing minimal data? I have already backed the phone up to my computer as well as iCloud. Even the woman at the apple store told me I had to restore it to factory but was too busy to get further into it and I didn't have a genius bar appointment. If all else fails I can make an appointment and go in there. I just thought I may as well ask on here first to see if there was a way I could do it myself. Thanks for reading and hope you can help me!

You can't. Restoring new means everything is erased. If you have a backup made before creating a restriction code, then you can restore that backup, but none later.
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

My old computer got stolen, how can I sync to a new itunes without losing all my contacts, and other stuff?

So my old windows computer that my iphone was sync to got stolen, I bought a new MacBook Pro and it asking me to erase and sync What can I do to keep all my contacts, photos, and other data and sync my iphone then restore all my data? or anything similar you might think that could help. Please any information or tips will be helpful!

The right way is to restore the backup that you kept of your old computer onto your new one. If it is too late for that before you do anything set up a backup process for the new one so when it crashes (note I said "when", not "if") you won't be faced with this problem again.
In lieu of that the apps already mentioned will help you get content off the phone if it was not purchased from iTunes. But it it WAS purchased from iTunes just connect the phone to your new computer, Authorize iTunes on the new computer and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes file menu.

3GS: After upgrade to OS4 my BMW can not sync contacts and other informatio

Hello,
after the upgrade to OS4, my BMW can not sync the contacts, call information and other things via bluetooth. With OS 3.x, everything was fine.
How can I fix the problem? Reinstall OS3.x? Reboot my BMW
Thanks
Tom

Thanks, but as I've said I've tried all of that described in the reference you've kindly given. I don't have a local cache, and hence no PST files. The only one I have is an OST file which I have checked for integrity using the Microsoft supplied tools. I have switched to local PST (a suggestion given in another thread), and found that not to work either, so have switched back to non cached. I have even renamed the OST file to .BAK, and had it rebuilt. Again to no avail. There is a bona fide bug here. The http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306635 article does only say "This may be due to the format of the Outlook Personal Storage File (.PST)", so I guess as the operative word is "may", its not a guarantee of this being the solution.
Also I'm not syncing my contacts, I'm only doing the calendar nothing else.
Additionally, this used to work, so your hypothesis, of the "bad data", being synced in 7.6 and then not being able to be subsequently budged is a definate goer I think. But the trick would be to work out what the bad data is. I'm assuming the source of the bad data is the iphone, so I've deleted old calendar in outlook entries I know to have come from the iPhone, that has, as yet, been a fruitless exercise.
I do thank you though for your help though, I'll be scouring the internet for any tidbits of information which might help, and I'll post them back here if I find the solution, or anything which may help others unfortunate enough to be in this situation.

TS4036 Help: i deleted my iCloud account and now some of my contacts and previous calendar information is gone

I set up icloud account, then i got so confused i deleted it. Now my phone(iPhone 4S) is missing some of my contacts and all of my previous calendar events prior to the deletion. I used Outlook 2007 for contact and calendar...which i do not like either. Anyone with any help on how to get back my info would be greatly appreciated.

it asked if i wanted to merge i chose yes, now do i press back up now? Also, I do no think I would like to use the iCloud, how would i go about not using it, but keeping the info on my phone. Now, before i set up i cloud i did a backup under my device in tunes. can i just restore it and have everything back? Or can I just sync with my itunes backup and have everything back?

HT4623 keep on getting phone is in recovery mode when tried to install update, you must restore. Will my wife lose all her contacts and other things?

tying to install new software update. Message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." Will not allow me to go any further. Will my wife lose all her contacts and pix if I go to recovery?

Hey saandyy,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You can try to restart the iPhone to exit recovery mode.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
Have a nice day,
Mario

How do I transfer my contacts and other information from my 4S to my 5S when I receive it?

In the past, I've always purchased my iPhone upgrades from the store (either Apple or AT&T) but I think I'm finally savvy enough to do all this on my own.
I searched the knowledge base but I couldn't find anything that addressed this particular issue, and AT&T is even less helpful.
I'm guessing I would do this in iTunes, but how does it work? Are there any surprises I need to be ready for?
Thanks, all!

Skip it. I found the article:

How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in iCloud? In mail, contacts the apple id is correct and matches my new apple id. I had to change my apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have calendar, contacts and other sync with iCloud.

How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in settings/iCloud and settings/mail,contacts,calendar? iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4. iCloud syncs fine with my iPad and my iPad has the new apple id in settings/iCloud. I had to change my original apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have iCloud sync. iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4. My iPhone4 settings/iCloud shows my original apple id and will not allow me to change it.

To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID. Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this. Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge.

Can't switch input layout in Contacts and other ap...

When Contacts is oepend, it's impossible to switch input language with Ctrl-Space.
You have to enter 1 letter and then it is possible to switch layout.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Are you talking about creating titles?
