How to save new contact from phone app to ms outlook work account instead of local contact

Hi,
I need some help please.
I usually save new numbers that call me from the phone app, I just hit "add to contacts".
I keep all of my contacts on my work microsoft outlook account so they are synced with my work, I have absolutely no local contacts on the phone.
My Z10 saves these contacts directly as local contacts instead of saving them on my work account.
However, if I go to the phonebook app, and select add new contact from there, I have the option to select whether it's a personal or a work contact. If I select work contact, it will save it to my work outlook and everything's fine, however when saving from the phone app I don't have this option.
I don't understand what I'm doing, wrong, please help on how to save to work account directly from phone app.
Thank you
Solved!

Hey bllizzard,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
What version of BlackBerry 10 software are you currently using? Go to Settings>About to find this information.
When in the phone application and press and hold a number, choose add to contacts. Then click Add contact at the bottom, at the very top you'll have a choice to choose Personal or Work. Choose Work if you want the contact saved to your work email account.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Can't save new address from Mail.app

Hi.
I forget the name of the service, but when an address shows up in a Mail message you can select it and get a pop-up to add or update a contact in Address Book. It doesn't work when I try to do that. This error shows up in the log:
1/8/10 8:27:06 AM Mail[46985] AddressBook failed to save: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=1560 UserInfo=0x11b6e8150 "Multiple validation errors occurred." ({
NSDetailedErrors = (
"Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=1570 UserInfo=0x11baea950 \"group is a required value.\"",
"Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=1570 UserInfo=0x11ce1d710 \"group is a required value.\""
Any clues (besides 'delete the AddressBook-v22.abcddb file') would be appreciated.
Thanks

How To save Unicode data from Struts app.

I using Struts html:text . I am using wXP . it displays the data in unicode font (in Marathi language ) but When i tring to save it , it did't saved in
unicode rather its in the unkown format ?
pls anyone solve my problem . i will be very thankful !

When you enter unicode characters in html it will automatically converted to the unicode numbers (I don't know what name they use to call such case) eg &1234;
This is not an unknown format, but that's the unicode number of the character.
Eventhough stored in that format, you still can display the character properly by using <bean:write> tag, but rememebr to set filter='false'

"add to contacts" from phone number link doesn't work, iOS 8.1

When you click on a phone number, e.g. in a Facebook messenger chat, you get the option to call the number or "add to contacts". If you click "add to contacts", the contact screen appears for a moment and closes again. I have tried a few times but it's not possible to use this feature. Seems to be a bug.
iOS 8.1, iPhone 4S

Hey Kalii, I also have the same problem here. I'm in Hong-Kong with 3 network and iOs 8.1.1
Was working all fine when I bought the Iphone 6 about 2 weeks ago. Go to Thailand over the weekend and when I get back impossible to reconnect to the network.
Tried to force restart, tried to loose wifi and reconnect, tried to restore network and tried the airplane mode on-off..... nothing works!
Not sure if changing the sim will do anything, I'm sure it's the Iphone 6 antenna or software itself that got a problem!

There are apps you can dowload that will let you sync your contacts across platforms or backup and restore contacts without iTunes. An app that will sync your contacts is Contacts Sync. Search the app store and find an app that will meet your needs.

I updated my iPhone onto my friend's MacBook
Why would you do that, and not on your own computer? See the hassle it caused you?
can he just email me the folder
Backup files are too big to email. Use FTP, DropBox, etc...
how do I then put all that data back into my current phone from the new computer?

Are yoy sure that Apeture is not in the Applications folder of the new system? If it is move it to the trash and the App Store will let you download Aperture from it.
You will need to make sure you use the same Apple ID you used to purchase it in the past.

How can i get my contacts from textfree app if ipod wont turn on

Can i get my contacts from textfree app on my pc if ipod wont turn on?

If iTunes does not see the iPod then:
- See if you can extrac themn from an existing backup
iPhone Backup Extractor for Windows and Mac
- Restore an iPod 2G or later, iPhone 3G or later or an iPod from existing biPod backup. The apps have to be in the iTunes library in order to have a place for the app data to go.

Phone number changed, but old number still shows in iTunes and in contacts within Phone app

My phone number changed, but when my phone is plugged into iTunes, it is still showing my old phone number in the iPhone information box. Also, when you are in contacts from within the Phone app. and you you pull down the list of contacts so it reveals the space above the search field, it says "My Number: (old number)" instead of "My Number: (new number)". I have synced my phone with iTunes since the change and my new number has been updated in my name record in the Contacts app. but the old number is still persisting in the aforementioned places. How do I get iTunes an the space above the search field in the contacts section of the Phone app to display my new number?

Tank you from me too. I have been trying to sort this problem out for a few weeks and getting somewhat annoyed! It's so easy when you know! Thanks again

How do I stop itunes from transferring apps from my ipad or iphone to my pc ?

How do I stop iTunes from transferring apps from my iPad or iPhone to my PC ? I have App sync turn off and I have add files to library turned off. Yet every time
I sync iTunes transfers all my apps to my PC. I have 20-30 gig of apps on each. A lot of them are 1gig each and it takes for ever to sync , plus I don't want 100 gig of apps just sitting on my hard drive for no reason. Any app I ever want is always available in the cloud so what's the point of having them on my PC in the 1st place?

I'm pretty sure that the space is used up on your computer's hardrive.
Anyway my solution to this nuisance of apps/itunes transfer was to allow itunes to download the apps from my phone...
...First of all I had tried to uncheck a few boxes in itunes a) automatically sync when device is connected (in the summary section) b) prevent devices from syncing (edit>preferences>devices) and c) Automatically sync new apps (apps section of device)
HOWEVER, when I would click sync in any section, apps tried to transfer to itunes from my iphone.
So after all my apps went on my computer (approx. 9 GB), I checked the boxes back, disconnected my device and deleted all the apps from itunes and my computer simultaneously (by clicking del/move to recycle bin).
Now when I connect my iphone it does it's backup/sync thing automatically ...but no apps try to transfer
Note: apps from your library cannot be set to sync with your device
I can now also click sync in any section and no apps transfer.
(This problem started when I downloaded an app from itunes rather than my device and I later transfered the app to my device. My apps section in itunes is completely empty now and no apps appear in windows explorer either)
the only thing I am unsure of now is; what's going to happen if I purchase an app from itunes on my pc again ...I'm guessing I'll have to repeat the process (might want to avoid that)

How do i get contacts from iphone to merge with outlook contacts

how do i get contacts from iphone to merge with outlook contacts

If Outlook already has a munch of contacts, do I need to delete them all (all but 1 unique) to sync correctly?
I have and iPhone ith up to date contacts, and I have outlook with some of the same contacts with older info. When I sync, outlook is OK, but I get a lot of copies of the same contact on my iPhone. Now I'm not entirely sure which are the up-to-date contacts and which aren't (and there's hundred of contacts to go through).
...For future reference, is there a way to to send the iPhone contacts to Outlook without adding crap to my phone? Amidst the sync process I noticed and option for conflicting files and choose the "always use phone" but still wound up with a contact mess of mixed old and new on the phone.

How to execute Linux command from Java app.

Hi all,
Could anyone show me how to execute Linux command from Java app. For example, I have the need to execute the "ls" command from my Java app (which is running on the Linux machine), how should I write the codes?
Thanks a lot,

You can use "built-in" shell commands, you just need to invoke the shell and tell it to run the command. See the -c switch in the man page for your shell. But, "ls" isn't built-in anyays.
If you use exec, you will want to set the directory with the dir argument to exec, or add it to the command or cmdarray. See the API for the variants of java.lang.Runtime.exec(). (If you're invoking it repeatedly, you can most likely modify a cmdarray more efficiently than having exec() decompose your command).
You will also definitely want to save the returned Process and read the output from it (possibly stderr too and get an exit status). See API for java.lang.Process. Here's an example
java.io.BufferedReader br =
new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(
Runtime.getRuntime().exec ("/sbin/ifconfig ppp0").
getInputStream()));
while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) {...

How do I move photos from phone to computer

how do I move photos from phone to computer

For photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites then see this page.
For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPhone, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
