How do I transfer saved blackberry contacts to a new phone

I have backed up my contacts via blackberry desktop manager to my computer. How do I transfer them to a new phone (not a blackberry)? My old phone got wet and no longer works but I have saved my numbers.  If I plug in say a droid, via USB will it just restore or is there something else I need to do?  The backup is saved as a .ipd extension and my computer does not recognize it as a file it can open.  Any help is greatly appreciated!!

If you can open the file with your Blackberry Desktop manager and then save it or export it as a csv file or excel file, then you can import it into Backup Assistant and then sync it to the Droid or other phone (that is, if BA is working properly!)
If BA will not work (it's been really flaky the last couple of months for most people) then you maybe able to at least print out or view your contacts from within the Blackberry Desktop Manager program and manually copy the contacts over to the new phone.
If anyone else has a more elegant solution, please speak up!!

    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.

  • How do I transfer my iphone contacts to my new Macbook Pro?

    I have a iphone and I am trying to transfer my contacts from the phone to my macbook, as well as my calendar info. I already back up to the cloud but do I need to have the contacts and calendar items checked in itunes to have them sync to my macbook? I ask that becasue curently they are grayed out in itunes but sync to the cloud just fine. Any help would be appreciated.

    If your new Mac is running OS X Lion or Mountain Lion you can go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign into your iCloud account and turn on syncing for contacts and calendars and they should download to your Mac.  (See http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.)

  • How do I transfer saved emails from old ipad to new ipad

    how do I transfer saved emails from old ipad to new ipad?

    Hi trevorius,
    Happy New Year!  The answer to your question depends on what email account you are using.   If it is your iCloud email account, the email messages will be available when you enable iCloud on your new iPad.  If it is an iMap account like Gmail, the messages will be redownloaded from their server.  
    Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support

    Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
    You can use iCloud or iTunes to transfer content from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to another device.
    Use iCloud Backup
    Follow these steps if both your devices use iOS 5 or later and you have an iCloud account. If not, please follow the iTunes steps below.
    You can use iCloud Backup to back up your previous device and then restore the backup to a new device. Your saved messages, email accounts, photos, notes, and other personal settings will be transferred to your new device.
    See more about iCloud Backup.
    Turn on iCloud Backup
    Start by backing up your old device to iCloud:
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    Turn on iCloud Backup.
    You may want to connect to power and turn Wi-Fi on.
    Back up now
    iCloud backs up your device once a day. To back up your device before you transfer content:
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    Tap Back Up Now.
    Wait until the backup finishes. How long it will take depends on how big the backup is and how fast your Internet connection is.
    Set up your new device
    When the backup of your old device is finished, turn on your new device. Follow the setup assistant, which will ask you to choose these things:
    Your language and country
    Whether to enable Location Services
    A Wi-Fi network
    If you've already set up your device, you can reset it so that you can go through the iOS Setup Assistant again and restore from your backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do this only if you already have a backup.
    Restore from iCloud Backup
    When you're asked to set up:
    Choose Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Tap next.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Choose the backup
    Choose the backup of your old device and tap Restore. Wait until the device finishes restoring from the backup.
    How long it will take depends on how big the backup is and how fast your Internet connection is.
    Sync other content from iTunes
    When the restore finishes, your device will restart. You should connect the device to iTunes to sync data that isn't in the backup (such as music, videos, or apps that you didn't purchase from the iTunes Store or the App Store ). To change the type of content that syncs, click the syncing tabs in iTunes.
    Enter your passwords
    When you're restoring an iCloud backup to a new device, you'll need to enter your password for your Apple ID, email and other accounts, and voicemail. If you've forgotten your voicemail password, contact your carrier.

    Learn how to set up your old iPhone to be like an iPod touch (without a carrier plan)
    Use iTunes
    If you don't have an iCloud account or you just want to keep a backup on your computer, you can use iTunes to back up and transfer content on your device.
    Get ready
    Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer and the latest version of iOS on your original device.
    You can't install a backup of a newer version of iOS onto devices that are using earlier versions of iOS. If your backup came from a device that has a newer version of iOS installed, update your new device before you transfer your data. For help, see Unable to restore from a backup of a newer iOS device.
    Back up and transfer
    First, back up your old device using iTunes. You can also encrypt the backup so that it remembers the passwords for your email, Wi-Fi, and more when you transfer to the new device. Otherwise, you can re-enter these passwords on the new device.
    Then transfer your data from your device to your computer.
    Remove your SIM card
    If your device has a SIM card, use the SIM-extractor tool or a paper clip to remove the SIM from your old device and insert it into your new device. Or if your carrier gave you a new SIM card, use that instead.
    Set up the new device
    When the backup of your old device is finished, turn on your new device. Follow the setup assistant, which will ask you to choose these things:
    Your language and country
    Whether to enable Location Services
    A Wi-Fi network
    If you don’t have a Wi-Fi or cellular data connection, you can also activate by tapping Connect to iTunes.
    Restore the backup
    When prompted to set up your device, select Restore from iTunes Backup.
    Connect to iTunes
    Connect your new device to iTunes, using the same computer you used to back up your current device. iTunes will ask you to restore from backup or set up as new. Select the backup of your old device and choose Continue.
    If the progress bar in iTunes pauses for a while, wait until the restore finishes.
    Sync other content
    When the restore finishes, your device restarts, and then it's ready for you to use.
    Keep your device connected to iTunes to sync content that isn't in the backup (such as music, videos, and apps). To change the type of content that syncs, click the syncing tabs in iTunes.
    Enter your passwords
    If you restored from an unencrypted backup, you'll need to enter the password for your Apple ID, email and other accounts, and voicemail. If you've forgotten your voicemail password, contact your carrier.

  • TS2776 How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    Depends on how big the file is.  If itis only a couple of pages, or mostly text, the easiest way would be to e mail it.  If it is a very large file you are going to need wifi.  Take both pads to starbucks, and e mail it from there.  Or if you have wifi, use drop box, for example. 
    Your other choice, avoiding wifi would be a bluetooth type transfer.  There is an app call bluetooth file lite that reads like it will do what you need.   The good news is it is free.  The bad news is that it has terrible ratings.  For grins, i am installing it now on a pad and a phone, and will see if it works.
    With a bluetooth method, you need both devices in  the same place.  If you are trying to send your file across country, bluetooth will not work for you.  you need e mail or drop box type solution, and if the file is big, you will almost certainly need wifi.

  • HT204053 how do I transfer saved email to my new icloud account?

    how do I transfer saved email to my new icloud account?

    When you migrate a MobileMe account to iCloud your email is transferred to the iCloud server, including all folders on the server.
    However your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? (If not please amend it to prevent confusion.) Snow Leopard is not compliant with iCloud but you can set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email. Please see this page:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

  • How do I transfer Sim Card Contacts

    How can I transfer my numbers/contacts from my old cell phone sim card to my iPhone?

    This may sound frustrating, but on the older phone, you have to go through ever single one of you contacts and change them to be stored to your phone. If you don't want to do that, than you should just reenter the information on the iPhone one by one.
    FYI: Bluetooth will not work if the contacts are stored onto the SIM.
