Lost Phone Numbers after Sync with Mac

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the Blackberry forum and to the Mac.  I love both of them but yesterday I used the new Desktop Manager for the Mac to sync with my Mac and it wiped all my phone numbers on the Blackberry.  I still have the numbers on my hands-free car system.  Is there a way to recover the numbers from the car back onto my phone?
I am based in the UK.  My Blackberry is the 8310, the Mac is a MacBook Pro 5,5 and the car is a Mercedes E350.
Thanks,
Piers

Not sure what you mean by recover email.
iTunes creates a backup for your iPhone which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process which includes contacts.
If you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes again since this happened, don't. You can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. When selecting Restore, you will be prompted to update your iPhone's backup as the first step which you want to decline or your backup updated with the last sync will be overwritten.

  • How to recover lost phone contacts after Sync ?

    My Nokia 6230 was full of contacts.
    My MacBook Pro adress book was empty.
    After syncing, my phone is empty... I have no backup !
    When iSync deletes a contact from the phone, does it store the information somewhere on the mac before ?
    Is there any chance for me to recover my phone numbers ?
    Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Your contacts are not backed up as they are removed - they are simply removed. Unless you had previously backed up the contents of your mobile handset in some manner, there is no possibility of recovering your records.
    iSync executed what it believed you wanted it to do: a command to replace the contents of your mobile handset with the contents of an empty Address Book, rather than merge records from the two devices. Generally, you are given a choice of Merge or Replace when performing a first-time synchronization.

  • Iphone deleted all phone numbers when synced with Exchange, Please Help!!

    We recently received new Iphones for the Administrative staff and thought that like other Smartphones we've used in the past that syncing with Exchange would be a breeze. After doing a bit of research everything pointed towards it being a very simple process, this is the process I followed:
    Open up Itunes with Iphone connected
    Click your iPhone in the "Devices" section on the left
    Click the "Info" tab
    In the Contacts section, check "Sync contacts with" and select "Outlook"
    Click "All Contacts"
    Click the "Sync" button in iTunes lower-right corner
    Click "Merge", so that your contacts on your iPhone are preserved
    This seemed to work but there is one major problem, all of the contacts on the Iphone and the ones imported into Outlook no longer have any phone numbers associated to them. The contacts were all synced into Outlook/Exchange no problem with their respective emails but with no phone numbers at all. Unfortunately the computer which had the backup of this Iphone was recently decommissioned so I have no backup of the phone in its previous state.
    Is there any way to recover the old phone numbers/contacts on the phone without having a backup of it in its previous state? I have tried the "Import Sim Contacts" button in the settings on the phone but it doesn't seem to actually do anything. There are over 100 contacts on this particular phone, some of which the phone numbers will be very difficult to retrieve again.
    I have to say that I'm not very impressed that the most popular smartphone out there can't even sync with the largest email platform in the enterprise world properly. If anybody can help me retrieve those numbers some how I would be extremely appreciative.

    Does the Iphone actually support 2-way sync with Outlook properly or will it erase all of the numbers on the phone every time?
    If you are syncing directly with Outlook, there are options in iTunes to determine which set of contacts takes priority when duplicates are found.  Personally I do not use this.  I have my device set up to sync directly with the exchange server so all changes are made directly on the server.
    Personally I would recommend against using Outlook as the intermediary.  You will get much more consistent and reliable results if the iPhone syncs directly with the exchange server and no worries if the end user has not synced the device in days/weeks/months.

  • IBooks always shows update flag after syncing with mac

    Hi,
    I'm running OSX Mavericks on the Mac and iOS 8.1.1 on the iPad.I don't use iCloud and I backup the ipad over my mac via iTunes.
    Each time I sync via iTunes and, after that, I start iBooks on the ipad, many books are shown with the update flag. In the attached image, you can see that there are 23 publications needing an update, but it's not true because they are already up to date.
    I tried to update them on the iPad then I did a backup but, after the resync, they were asking an update... again.
    iBooks on mac displays the same books as the ipad but without the update-needed flag.
    Books on both ipad and mac are perfectly accessible.
    Any suggestion?

    The itunes content will be erased from the iphone when you sync to another computer.
    Iphone can sync to ONE computer at a time.
    Did you not maintain a back up of your music?
    If you have at least one contact and calendar entry in your computer, you should get the option to merge the data.

    My iphone after syncing with my mac is saying "64 items could not be synced, see i tunes for details" however I cant see what items are not synced as no obvious message. Where do I look for this info?

    Connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Reset Warnings.  Then sync again and you should get a warning listing the problem files.

  • Sync numbers for ipad with mac

    Hey I just got an ipad 2 and the numbers app.  I need to keep my databases in sync..ie updates on ipad should sync with mac and visa versa, please give me some advice on how this can best be achieved?
    Chris

    The only way I have found so far is:
    Syncing from the Mac to iPad - you need to ADD the file to the iTunes file list, under File Sharing, for the appropriate App. This applies every time the file is changed on the Mac. If the file already exists on iTunes you will need to accept the overwrite option for the updated file. Next remove the file from the iPad and import the file again over WiFi from the Mac.
    Syncing from the iPad to the Mac - highlight the file to be in sync [ for Pages and Numbers the file in the centre of the screen under My Documents ] and select the Transfer icon. Then select the option Transfer to iTunes. In iTunes you then need to select the file and click on the Save To button and then select where the updated file is to be saved.
    The problem with transferring documents to the iPad etc. is that it needs to be attached to the Mac in order that the list of Apps and Documents that allow File Sharing can be seen. Strangely the only way to transfer files back and forth is via WiFi - not USB. Stupid really. Apple needs to sort this out as the current arrangement is rather amateurish.

  • HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

    I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
    The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
    But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
    When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
    But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
    This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
    "Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
    But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
    Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
    Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

  • Lost calendar events after sync

    after syncing my mac book air with my iphone 4 i lost all my past and future calendar events on my macbook and iphone.
    I have backups on time capsule:
    Q: how do i recover my approx 900 calendar events from time capsule into my calendar on macbook without copy and paste 900 of them into their respective date on my now empty calendar?
    appreciate help
    thomas

    I can't get my iPhone 3GS to sync calendars with either iCal or Outlook.  Everything I entered into my iPhone calendar is GONE. The data I previously entered into and synced from my iPhone is still in my Outlook calendar, which used to sync seamlessly, but I can't get iCal to import the Outlook calendar, either (my assumption being that the iPhone would be more apt to sync to an Apple device more than a Microsoft application). The only calendar events that sync from my Mac Pro to my iPhone are the few that are in iCal.  Office 2011 for Mac just had a big update, too - I wonder if there are multiple culprits here. 

  • Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

    I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago).  Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer.  I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54.  The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app.  Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists.  Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes?  Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

    How to create custom ringtones ...
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
    3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
    4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
    5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
    6. Click the "Options" tab.
    7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
    8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
    9. Click "OK."
    10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
    11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
    12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
    13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
    14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
    15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
    16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
    17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
    Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
    Hope this is useful ...

  • Events not showing in iCal after sync with iPhone

    A whole week of appointments don't show up in iCal after syncing with my iPhone - all the appointments are on my iPhone but they won't copy over.
    Funnily enough, the week that is not showing up is changing every Monday...
    Anyone seen this before?

    I found this solution in another discussion. It's from this website: http://iphonewriter.blogspot.co.nz/2008/05/how-to-fixing-ical-iphone-sync-issues .html)
    "You'll know the syncing issue when you see it, because the new events you enter into the Calendar on your Apple iPhone will not appear in iCal. Said another way, you'll enter a new event into your iPhone, use iTunes to sync with your Mac (or MacBook in our case) and the new event on your iPhone will not show up in iCal. Keep trying, synch as you might, iCal and the Apple iPhone just won't get along.
    Here's the down and dirty fix:
    Open iCal and backup or export your entries. Make a note of the fie name and location, you're going to need them in a minute. Once your backup/export is completed, close the iCal application.
    Open Finder and remove everything inside the "Username/Library/Calendars" folder. For instance, if your username is "Joe", then move everything inside the "Joe/Library/Calendars" folder.
    Open the iSync application. It's located in the "/Applications/" folder. Once iSync is opened, go into the iSync Preferences (iSync -> Preferences) and push/click the "Reset Sync History" button. Then, close the iSync application.
    Re-Open the iCal application and Restore your calendar. When prompted, use your notes from Step #1 to select the file your created earlier.
    At this point all my appointments were showing up properly in iCal, and did not disappear after syncing again with the iPhone.

  • Entourage Tasks and iCal "To dos" have disappeared during sync with .Mac

    All of my “tasks” (both completed and incomplete) in Entourage and "to dos" iCal have disappeared, apparently during a sync with dot Mac. This problem has happened twice in the past two weeks (the first time I lost all of my Entourage “notes” too, but I haven’t put any back).
    The tasks show no problems for a week and then all of a sudden disappear from both Entourage and iCal. My calendar and address book (which I also sync) seem not to be affected. Entourage doesn’t seem to offer a way to sync the calendar without syncing the tasks as well.
    Here are my questions:
    Why did my tasks disappear?
    How do I prevent their disappearance again?
    has anyone else experienced this problem?
    My Entourage database is fine. I’m running Entourage 11.2.3 (which rencently added a feature "sync services" that allows syncing with .Mac and iCal).

    I had the same problem and I got my To Dos to appear when I clicked on the To Dos by Priority column header and checked/unchecked the Hide Items outside Calendar View option. (Doesn't seem to make any difference whether it is checked or unchecked ... it displays all of the items ... at least until restart iCal ... then it is a bit unpredictable.)
    I also have intermittent problems when I create or change a new Event. Sometimes the change does not appear until I move off the page that I am displaying and come back (e.g. move forward a week in week view and then back.)

  • My laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time.

    My Dell laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time. When I hit sync is says it will erase my phone and sync with the new computer which is blank. How do I get my phone to sync my contacts, pics, apps etc. over to my new hard drive without losing anything.

    Yes, so what's confusing... Did you not restore the backup of your data, contacts, pics, apps, music, etc. to the new hard drive after you replaced it or reformatted it or whatever you did? If so, then you can just sync your data back.
    If not, please try searching the forum. This has been addressed hundreds of times here.
