Link 1.2.2.13, Q10, and Contacts: Time

Working with a new computer, Win 7.  Outlook already installed with all 3,000+ of my contacts.  I have about that many also in my phone, but I wish to do a 2 way sync with this new computer to get everything equal.  Everything is set up properly, and things go smoothly, up until what appears to be the last step.  Now, Link has the blue bar, full and darker like it should, but I've been waiting now 30 minutes for it to go on to the next step.  It doesn't give me any info on what it's doing (e.g.. A simple Google search found many people get stuck on the text "Preparing to sync", which I sat at for about 5 minutes), the computer has Link running 2 - 5% of my processing power (compared to 50+% during syncing), and there is no "Next" or "Continue" button.   With 3,000+ contacts, do I need to give Link more time to complete, or is there an issue with the software/corrupt contact?
Link is 1.2.2.13.  Blackberry is the Q10, fully updated.  I miss Link 1.1.*, the user controls are completely different and most help topics don't have the new setup.  

I gave up on this version of the LINK software.  There is something wrong with it.  I got no support from my provider and Blackberry Tech support wanted to charge me for a solution.
I down graded to Link Version 1.2. 1.31 and I have been able to synch my contacts.
I have larned  not to update the Link Software when asked to given often it does not work.

  • BlackBerry Link does not recognize my Q10 And now can't install Link anymore

    Hello, i had Link installed since few months working correctly. Suddenly, when connecting my Q10 with USB cable a pop up appears on my phone saying it is connected, however, my terminal shows as deconnected on Link. Usually, when i was connecting with USB, a pop screen appears asking for password but it is not thé case anymore. It does recognize That is connecting since it does open bblink but not when it is openned. There is no Way to get thé password screen to connect my q10. I hâve tried to desinstall And reinstall BlackBerry Link And now i CAn't even load thé software anymore. An error And it does uninstall everything again. Did tried via BlackBerry website And also with thé USB connecting my q10 directly. Thaïs Way is even worst since it does not even load. An error message saying That hâve à problem with RIM Is someone have an idea of what is going on And how i CAN get this fixed? Because now i can not sync or back up my phone. Thanks

  • Synchronizing Outlook Calendar and Contacts with Blackberry Q10

    I got a new Blackberry Q10 device and wanted to synchronize it with my Outlook calendar and contacts on my notebook. I installed Blackberry Link on the notebook. But in a pop down menu I was only allowed to choose from 2 pst-files which are not the correct ones. The one I want to choose is in another folder. But how can I select this one to synchronize with?
    Thanks for your help. And sorry for the silly question, but I am only a very normal user without any specific know how.
    Kind regards
    Malika

    Hey MalikaBauer,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Is the Microsoft Outlook profile that you're currently trying to access on an Microsoft Exchange server or is hosted at a different location?  If so, you will not be able to access that PST with BlackBerry Link.
    BlackBerry Link currently only supports local PST files.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

    Re Create the task:

    2. Go to the desired website/address

    Move the Safari app from the Desktop to the Applications folder.

  • BB Link does not recognize Outlook as a source for calendar and contact sync

    When setting up BB Link for my BB Classic it does not recognize Outlook 2013 (on Windows 7) as a source for calendar and contacts.

    I know there are people who can and many who cannot, never saw a resolution yet, I hope someone who can will reply to your post so that is why I am replying this sends your post back up to the top. Here is a recent user who can but does have a issue: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Link/Duplicate-Calendar-Entries/td-p/3108949 I wish I could do more but I do not use Outlook or BB Link.

  • TS4118 Ever since I got the iphone 5  my phone/icloud calender and contacts will not remain synced with Outlook.  I am constantly having to sign in and sign out and  unlink and re link to Outlook.

    Ever since I got the iphone 5  my phone/icloud calender and contacts will not remain synced with Outlook.  I am constantly having to sign in and sign out and  unlink and re link to Outlook.  this creates multiple categories of contacts and calenders and I have no idea which is syncing with my phone, ipad, outlook.  Help.  thanks.

    Sounds like the Outlook plugin isn't working properly.  You could try a couple of things:
    Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs, uninstall iCloud, the download and install the iCloud contol panel for Windows again from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455.  Then sign back into your iCloud account and check your syncing settings again.
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  (Uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.)  This will replace the Outlook plugin.
    Then try your calendar again and see if it will sync properly now.

  • Blackberry Link - not recognizing device and does not allow synching calendar and contacts

    I cannot get Blackberry Link to work properly on my laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro.  It takes a very long time to open and it does not allow me to sign in saying there is no internet connection and I cannot get around resolving this issue.  That is problem 1.  Problem 2, Blackberry Link sometimes recognizes the device and sometimes it does not.  Problem 3, when I do get Link to recognize the device, (it can backup), synching the calender and contacts on the device to Outlook does not work.  I try to do a one way synch from the device to outlook and it processes but Outlook is not updated (outlook has no contacts or calendar events as I want to pull them off my device).
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    I bought an iphone 4s off of kijiji and the phone is linked to the persons apple id, and i ant get in contact with them. is there a way i can activate my phone without having to jailbreak it.

    You won't be able to activate it even if you do jailbrake it.  There's no way around activation lock without the assistance of the prior owner.

  • I just switched from a PC and am installing googlemail on my macbook. it has successfully connected my calendar and contacts. But my mail is not linking. i get a unable to connect to the server message. any ideas wise ones pls

    i have just switched from a PC and installing my googlemail account onto my Macbook pro. I can successfully see my calendar and contacts but my mail will not connect. i get an error message - can not connect to the server. Any ideas please?

    Neil,
    I don't use Apple's Mail client (I use MS Outlook) but setting up your Gmail account should be fairly straightforward. Just make certain that you have your settings correct.
    For your incoming server, be sure to use the "map.gmail.com" server, using SSL, using port "993" (usually the default).
    For your outgoing server, be sure to use the "smtp.gmail.com" server, override the default port and use port "465" and use SSL to connect and make sure that you enter your email address and password to access the SMTP server.
    If you've already set up your account with these settings, you may need to Google "gmail setup apple mail" and find the Google document relating to same.
    Good luck,

  • Cannot synch my calendar or contacts between Blackberry Q10 and Outlook

    Hi Ewcia and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    What version of Microsoft Outlook are you currently using? Is your Outlook profile setup with a local PST file or are you using an Exchange mail account?
    Thanks.

  • SMS and Contacts transfer to iponhe

    Hi Guys!
    I have q10 blackberry lots of contact and message. I already did the backup using blackberry link. how can I extract or transfer my sms and contacts to my ipone?

    Hi dhomchie
    I'm not sure regarding transfer sms. Perhaps there's 3rd party sms app in BB World for that. But you can transfer Contacts, Calendar items, Pictures, Videos, Files and documents to Iphone using 'Device Switch'. BlackBerry Link is to transfer between BlackBerry devices only.
    On your Q10, tap Search and type Device Switch in the field. For more information, visit blackberry.com/deviceswitch
    Good luck.
