Import Palm OS files to Blackberry

How do you import files like address book from Palm OS to BlackBerry?

Hi and welcome to the forums,
I have attached a procedure from the BB knowledgebase and a link to a thid party application that can convert all your data. The procudure use's Microsoft Outlook as being the importer. If you have a windows PC and have Outlook you are set. Outlook is the primary tool that most of the users synch their Blackberry's to, so the BB desktop software is compatiable.
The third paty app can convert all data into multiple file types for input into different programs.
Please let me know if this answers your question or if I can help you further.
Thanks

Unable to Import Unicode (csv) file to BlackBerry Bold 9700

Hi all
I'm facing some problems with my new BlackBerry Bold 9700. I have Nokia mobile, I exported my contacts using PC-Suite 7. The exported file includes Arabic characters, so the charset used was in Unicode. I've changed the heading for important fields (and removed others) so that they will match with BlackBerry. I imported the file with "BlackBerry Desktop Manager" using "Synchronize" feature. The import was successful, but the charset was in wrong format (just like viewing html page with different codepage!) it was like garbage!
Anyhow, I tried to export, as an example, one contact from my BB and I included Arabic text, when I exported the contact list as (csv) I received a "?????"!!! I then imported the same file with "Synchronize" and strangly it did import and accepted the "?????" and displayed the actual Arabic text as a substitution.
How come BB don't support Unicode?! Is there anyway I can import my contacts from Nokia?
I appreciate any kind of help, hints or tips, thanks in advance...
BlackBerry Bold 9700
v5.0.0.442 (Platform 5.1.0.121)

I guess, the only option that can help in such situation is to use Outlook Express!
This is how I managed to do it:
1. Sync between Nokia PC-Suite and Outlook Express
2. Sync between BB Desktop Manager and Outlook Express
3. Done
or
1. Sync between Nokia PC-Suite and Outlook Express
2. Export from Outlook Express as an address book (WAP) to use it on other machine
3. Import to Outlook Express (you can use Address Book from Accessories)
4. Sync between BB Desktop Manager and Outlook Express
5. Done

Looking for a program that can handel import and export of palm doc files

Could anyone give me a few suggestions of any plug-ins that would be good me?

Ok, you need to clean uninstall Palm desktop 6.2. Install Palm desktop 4.1.4 and download and install documents to go version 6.
Here are the clean uninstall instructioins for Vista.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. Use the username that is on the handheld.

How to import a zipped file?

Hi-
I am trying to import a zipped file (UCSF hospitalist handbook) into itunes, so I can then put it on my iphone. I've used this handbook on my palm pilot for years, but would like to now use it on my iphone. I cannot seem to import it into itunes though. I downloaded from here: http://www.meistermed.com/isilodepot/isilodocs/isilodocs_ucsf_hospitalisthandbook.htm:
but then don't know how to get into itunes. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Zip files are like wrapped presents. You have to unzip them to see what goodies are inside!
Usually double-clicking the Zip file will give you a dialog to start the extraction.
If by any chance that doesn't work, right-clck the ZIP file and choose Open With > Compressed Folders.
Presumably the contents will turn out to be iTunes-compatible files and you can add them to your library.

Import Palm calendar to iCal

I would like to import Palm calendar 4.2.1 into iCal. Both are on an iMac 10.6.8 Any ideas?

Thanks, Niel. One follow-up, if you don't mind....does your response mean that once the calendar file on the Mac was created, adding items to the iPhone were considered a separate calendar file? If so, is it possible to have just one calendar file that is shared between the Mac and the iPhone?
Thanks.

Import Palm desktop todos into iCal

Hi all,
does anybody found a solution yet how to import palm desktop todos into ical. The export function of Palm Desktop is only tap/line or palm desktop format. Or is there a software which could translate this into vcal or ical?
Thanks alot in advance - Christoph

When I export Tasks from "Palm Desktop 4.2.1 and HotSync Manager Rev D (Mac)" (downloaded from http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/33219_en.html) there are only two format options, namely, "Palm Desktop," and "Tab & Return."
Both options create tab-delimited files without headers. Unfortunately, the dates in these files dates in these files contain commas because they are formatted as:
longMonthName dd, ccyy
I've tried converting these files with lots of CSV (or TSV)-> iCal converters but I couldn't get any of them to work except for Toodledo (toodledo.com):
http://www.toodledo.com/connect_text.php
If anyone knows any other utility or service that can import tasks that are exported from Palm Desktop for Mac, please post them in a reply.
Thanks.

How do i import a csv file to icloud

Palm User and Potential BlackBerry User Looking for Info

I have long been a Palm PDA user and combined that with a 'regular' cell phone. For a variety of reasons, I am considering a Blackberry Pearl. I have found it surprisingly difficult to find good information to help me make the decision and I am hoping for some feedback here.
1 - How difficult is it to transfer my Palm data to the BlackBerry? In particular, will my extensive collection of Memos on my Palm transfer and be usable in the BlackBerry? Will all notes, included in my Palm address book, transfer to my BlackBerry contacts?
2 - Does the BlackBerry desktop software function like the Palm Desktop? Am I able to view and enter information at a desktop PC via the BlackBerry desktop software?
3 - Can I use the BlackBerry data in other applications? For instance, can my BlackBerry contacts be used to create mailing lists in Word or Excel?
4 - What does the BlackBerry allow me to do with data? Can I customize calendar entries with colors or categories? Do I have the ability to format text using color, bolding, underlining, etc.?
5 - Can I download and substitute third party apps for the BlackBerry apps, the way I can in Palm?
6 - My email client is Outlook, but my email service is provided by Google Apps. Any glitches there?
7 - Will BlackBerry sync to Outlook on my desktop or to Google Apps? Or is it my choice?
8 - What frustrations may I encounter? In other words, what does the Palm do (or do better) that the BlackBerry does not (or does not do well)?
9 - How will my expectations be exceeded? What does BlackBerrry do (or do better) that Palm does not (or does not do well)?
Thanks so much for any assistance and advice.
Mitch

1: Not difficult, there is a Device Switch Wizard availible in the Dektop Program for BlackBerrys.
2: No, the BlackBerry Desktop Software does not function like the Palm Desktop. You can sync it with Outlook or Lotus.
3: I am not sure what you mean by that. But you can sync the contacts to your desktop also in a .csv file and create mailing lists through that.
4: The BlackBerry calendar is different then the Palm's. It does not allow you to customize calendar entries with colors. But there are 3rd Party Calendars availible. The well known Palm-Calendar called Agendus will apparently soon be availible for BlackBerry.
5: Yes, 3rd party apps are on the rise at the moment; not yet as many as for Palm but there are many utilities and applications availible that improve the OS.
6: Google Mail also works with BlackBerry.
7: Choice
8: Palm has a better built in calendar; no doubt about that. Some functions are missing in the BlackBerry OS but for most of them there are utilities availible for download (for $). Overall I would definitely recommend the BlackBerry devices. I changed from a Treo 680 in December and did not regret it at all! You always have to get used to new devices but with the BlackBerry it is very easy to get used to!
9: Push eMail, better Browser, faster System, more Filespace, newer OS, nicer UI, easier to handle with the navigation Ball, no Touchscreen that can break, better built, newer hardware... there are many things, buy one try it!
Hope it helps.

I would like to combine multiple profiles into a new computer. Which are the most important folder or files to migrate?

The user profile in my old computer somehow became corrupted and I can no longer access it to log on. Unfortunately I was not aware of the Firefox sync feature at the time. I used a new profile and had to start from scratch to save new bookmarks and extensions/plugins. I did set up Firefox sync for this new profile. Now I have a brand new computer and desire to migrate the bookmarks to this new computer, including the original bookmarks in the old computer, as well as the bookmarks in the second profile. While I have located the profiles folder for each profile in my old computer (as well as extensions and plugin folders), the content of this folder is daunting. I would like to know which are the minimal folders I should select to migrate and would it be safe to simply copy and paste over the entire folder? Please note that I have also added new bookmarks into my new computer which I would not like erased. I hope these details are not convoluted.

Firefox has two methods of bringing in bookmarks from another Firefox profile:
* Restore a backup (JSON files in the bookmarkbackups folder): this completely replaces what you have, so is not the first step
* Import from an HTML file: this is additive and will create an Imported Bookmarks folder or add them under Unsorted Bookmarks
Restore is best if you tag your bookmarks because the JSON format preserves tags. If tags are not important, then it's easier.
What I suggest is:
(1) Export your current bookmarks to the HTML format; you can reimport these later. See: [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]. Open the file in Firefox (it's a web page) to make sure it looks complete before proceed.
Next, get the bookmarkbackups folders from each of your old profiles that you want to restore, and look for the most-complete-looking JSON files (they will have the most recent dates and largest number of bookmarks indicated in the file name). Proceed from the smallest set to the largest, or oldest to newest; basically, restore the most important one last.
(2) Restore a backup, then export to HTML. This article has the steps for a restore: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]. Then export to HTML and check for completeness.
(3) Repeat #2 until you get to the last/most important restore. You don't need to export that one.
(4) Import the HTML files you've made throughout the process.
(5) In the Library dialog, reorganize. Firefox doesn't have a deduplicator, but you might find one or more extensions to do the job on the Add-ons site if you find a lot of overlap.
Make sense?

Importing All the files from a folder at a time

Hi....
Can any body tell me how to import set of files from a folder into IDM.
It is becoming very difficult to import the files one after other....
Waiting for Reply....
Thanks in advance..........

We used an ant script to build an XML file that will contain the files. The script is configured to use the folder structure of our CVS repository.
We'd checkout our XML module and then run the build script and import the resulting init file.
Code to the script is below -- caveat emptor. You'll need to change the folder structure to suit your own environment.

Importing Avid MXF Files to short in Premiere CC

Hi there,
We are importing AVID Media Files MXF from MXF Folder into Premiere Pro CC 2014 and the longer clips are to short. All the long clips ends at 4min. 55 sec.
We were exporting the Files from AVID 8.3.0 as AFF, then importing in Premiere CC 2014 and linking the video files to the MXF Folder of AVID.
We tried also to consolidate all the clips from AVID again into a special folder, make a new AFF export and then import and link all again. But it gives us the same result.
Would be great if anybody knows a solution. The problem seems to be the import of the MFX Files into Premiere CC. The Export from Avid seems to be OK.

As Apple Inc.’s desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers, OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8) is the ninth major release of OS X. It’s quick, familiar, cheap, and drenched in iOS goodness. However, after updated and installed Mountain Lion on Mac, many Final Cut Pro (mainly FCP X and FCP 7) users found they could not import mts, mxf, ect files into FCP anymore.
You can try to redownload and reinstall the FCPX. If not, you can contact after-sales service to get a free way to solve the problem.
You also can ignore the problem and download and insatll a MXF Converter to convert MXF to FCP's antive format ProRes before importing. I have been using Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac, it work fast and it can keep the original video quality for editing. Besides, the conversion process will help you to save the rendering time. The most important is that it has five types of Apple prores codecs for choosing.
http://www.brorsoft.com/mxf-converter-mac/index.html

When importing an MXF file from a CF card, I can only get :30 of the original clip. What am I doing wrong?

When importing MXF video file from a CF card to Final Cut 6, I can only import :30 of it. Why am I limited to :30 and how do I get the entire clip?

That's the WRONG WAY! You have to use Log and Transfer, like Michael says. Here's A tutorial on how to deal with Tapeless in FCP
<a href=http://library.creativecow.net/ross_shane/tapeless-workflow_fcp-7/1 target=_blank>Tapeless Workflow for FCP 7 Tutorial</a>
BUT NOTE! If this is MXF from a CANON camera...their new 305 camera...you not only need a plugin to get it to work (they either include it with the camera, or you have to go to the website... the Canon Log and Transfer plugin), it also might only work with FCP 7. Because the camera is brand spankin new. Try the plugin first...well, if this is from that Canon camera.

After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow? Thank you, Filippo

On IMac 10.9 After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now? Anyone know? Thanks, Filippo

I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
Thanks
