I'd like to start over with a brand new addresbook

I would like to possibly back up and then remove current addressbook and start over Fresh.
What I want to do is back up my Blackberry/Altell phone's contacts to a new addressbook. without wiping out the information I have on the Blackberry I tried this once before by deleting everything in Current Address book on one of my computers. but in doing so using MissingSync it wiped all the information on the phone. Luckily I had a back up addressbook on another computer and had all the contact names. and most information was okay but allot of the details were wrong and I had to redo everything.
Any way to do it without jeapordizing my phone contacts whis is about 90 contacts.

Thank you for your response GabeAlan, am i able to back up my virtual windows without access through VMware fusion? its locked me out since i upgraded to Yosemite, i prefer to see if i can avoid having to pay to upgrade to the latest fusion

  • I have two Apple ID's and one is used for my iPhone, but I want to start using a different one. Will my library still retain the apps I bought or should I start over with a whole new iTunes library?

    ^^ that's the question... Want to delete the current and start over with the one I've already created, but want to keep all my songs and apps. Is it possible?

    You can have apps and music from multiple IDs on your computer or your phone, but you will need the password for each one to install updates or to reload the content. You cannot merge the content from one ID into another, however.

  • I no longer want to use vmware fusion to run my windows session, can I use boot camp to launch my vmware windows install or do I have to start again with a brand new installation?

    Hi,
    I would like to know if I'm able to use my current VMWare windows installation through Boot Camp, I don't want to use fusion anymore but I'm hoping there's a way to set up boot camp and not have to re-install windows again, if anyone could let me know that would be great

  • How do I start over with passwords?

    On my old Mac Mini I knew my Apple ID and never had problems.
    Now I have a new Mac Mini, it seems that I have different passwords for different tasks. 
    I had to create an iCloud password, which I don't remember.  I have to keep changing my Apple ID password because if I remember it on my new Mac Mini, I forget it on my iPad.  Then of course if I change it using my iPad, I have to remember that one when using the Mac Mini, and on and on it goes.  (Of course, writing them down would help but that's too simple.)
    I would like to start over with my passwords and scrub the old (i.e. current) ones completely.  It feels like I'm forever enterting passwords and I can never tell which one it wants. And why can't my Apple ID password be the same as my iCloud password?  Then I'd find it easier to remember; or it wouldn't be so bad forgetting just one instead of two.  The whole thing gives me a headache.

    The iCloud and Apple ID password can be the same. Mine are.

    Just make them the same and then go to all your devices and sign out and sign back in with the new password.

  • When I downloaded firefox someone else's bookmarks and homepage are there, it is a used computer. How can I "start over" with firefox?

    I have tried deleting firefox from my computer entirely (I have a macbook). Then when I download it again, much later, it still acts like it knows what bookmarks and homepage I want. These were obviously set by someone else, and I want it to be fresh, I want to start over with a new firefox. I bought the computer used, and apparently firefox recognizes it as having been downloaded before and automatically adds stuff to it. It is annoying!!

    The simplest method will be to create a new profile and delete the old one. User information such as bookmarks is stored in a profile folder. You can create and remove profiles by using the profile manager. First use the profile manager to create a new profile, then use it to delete the old profile.
    For details on using the profile manager see the [[managing profiles]] article. An alternative site that can help is http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager

  • Starting Over with my macbook

    I recently got a new macbook pro from work, and I have a macbook that is about two years old... runs great, but my wife is going to use my old macbook as her main computer (she has been using an old dell) while I use my pro as mine. I wanted to essentially start over with the macbook and give her a fresh computer, with none of the junk I had on it from work and school.
    Is there a way to essentially start over and erase everything on my macbook hard drive? I want to do everything over, like when I booted it up for the first time... name the hard drive, redo settings, etc. Do I insert the startup disk and go from there? Any insight would be super helpful. Thanks!

    Hi SlickRick321,
    You can do an erase & install of the HD and a clean install of the OS from the System Installation disc(s) that came with your computer. That will wipe everything out and startup the computer as though it was brand new (when the installation is completed).

  • Starting over with Users

    I'm trying for various reasons to make my ibook and mini config match. I did this with a G3 and the IBook previously, but screwed up when setting up the mini.
    What I need to do is recreate the ibook accounts in the same order on the mini. Is there away to just start over with brand new user accounts?

    The long term goal is to have to computers on the network, with identical accounts and identical permissions, so that a user on one has the same accounts on the other, and can log in. This means the netid db has to be the same on both. I'm trying to replicate what I was told to do in this topic.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1330775#1330775
    Where you'll see according to that poster I need to have the accounts have identical names, be created in the same order before I can migrate them to get the results I want.
    My understanding is also that using the accounts in system preference you can't change the first account created on the machine.
    So what I think I'd like to do is trick the OS into thinking I haven't set up accounts and go through the procedure again.
    If cloning would acheive this, I need to know how to do it. Do I replace the Users folder? Something higher up?
    Thanks

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

    Hello cheech07,
    The following article contains directions that can help get you back on track with iTunes. I'd recommend picking up at 'Part 5' of the 'External drive' section.

    You'd have to ask Intuit. They might give you a cross-license to download and install the Mac version.

  • I want to delete folders in the email I want to start over with new folders

    I want to delete the folders that appear on the left side column next to the email window..... I don't know how else to describe it. I saved folders that I now want to delete, or re label into new folders
    Gene

    you are correct, I am using an email program...Yahoo!
    I had created folders that line up on the left side of the page, next to the email inbox that is open with all the emails showing....I wanted to delete the folders and start over with new folders, without emptying them, or renaming them......
    I kept trying, and found out that selecting the folder, and actually hitting the delete button on my keyboard.....and it worked!!! what do you know!...I thought there must have been a super secret keyboard trick...and I feel ashamed I didn't think of that(''selecting and typing the delete key'') before posting the question...I want desperately to reorganize my email, with customer names, before starting over with new folders.
    thanks for your quick response...anyway.

    Thank you Csound1, ok I guess I did manage to delete it but now when I copy new mp3 files they come as mpeg and iCoud won't accept them? Why? Do I have to convert them all now or can I set it somewhere to take them as mp3's. Appreciate the help. Have a great day! Cheers Steve

    Why won't OS X Mavericks start downloading when I click the download button? It thinks and acts like it starts downloading with the thinking circle moving then stops and goes away. I have tried going to the purchases in the app store and restarting it there and that is not working either.

    Repair permissions, restart your computer & try again. 

  • Starting over with imatch

    I want to start over with iMatch - how do delete my existing library then statt again

    Hi,
    Two options:
    1. Select all tracks , ctrl click and select delete from pop up. Check delete from iCloud and the select keep rather than sending to trash. Next hold shift key whilsts turning of match. When you turn back on match your iTunes library should be empty apart from previous iTunes Store purchases. You can now add all your tracks. The process should be quicker than starting from new as match will remember previous matches and uploads. You will lose all previous play count and playlists data using this method.
    2. If you want to keep play counts and playlist, you could try this. Create a new library by holding option key whilst opening itunes. Turn on match and select add this computer. When process is complete, you will see all the music that you have in the cloud. Select all tracks and delete - you will get message that you are removing tracks from cloud.
    Once done, close iTunes. Reopen itune holding option key and select the original library. All your music whilst still be there but the iCloud status will now be "Removed". To see status, in song view go to menu> view > view options and tick.
    You can now select what you want to put back into match. Do this by selecting the track, ctrl click and from pop up select add to cloud. Match will ignore those tracks with "Removed" iCloud status.
