Managing Calendar and Contacts for two phones w/ 1 Mac
I am new to Blackberry and its software. I recently downloaded the Desktop Manager software for Mac from the website and have been able to sync both my husband's and my phones successfully. However, I would like to keep my Calendar and Contacts seperate from his. Can someone advise me on how to do this? Also, I have a Web Access Outlook account for my work and would like to be able to add the calendar items to the Blackberry calendar but I do not know how to do this eirther.
Thanks
Hi Flojo:
You will need a seperate "screen name" for each Mac in order to video chat. The nice thing is you can get another .Mac screen name by signing up for another .Mac account and and after the free trial, you can keep the .Mac screen name.
OR
Just sign up for a free AIM screen name here: http://www.aim.com/
You don't need a paid .Mac account in order to video chat!

Managing calendar and contacts for two phones
I am new to Blackberry and cannot find info on how to keep my and my husband's calendar and contacts separate. I am also wondering if I can inport my Web Access Outlook calendar to my BB as well.
I have DM for Mac and the phones are 8300.
Thanks for any guidance...As Ann154 said, you need to log out of the master account completely to set up (register) each line for it's own account. Separate browsers or even computers will work too, if you have those options. The initial setup of each line is a bit of a hassle, but once each line IS set up on it's own account, with it's own password, Backup Assistant will work properly for each phone.
Having separate accounts also allows you to purchase (if you are so inclined) ringtones and ringback tones for each line, and gives you access to cloud storage for each line separate from the others.
Hope this helps. -
My MacBook Pro is a few years old and I recently got an iPhone 4S. I want to know how I sync my calendar and contacts with the calendar and contacts on my phone? My laptop is Mac OS X, 10.6.8 and still has MobileMe on it. I tried to download iCloud but then I'd have to download and pay for a new OS.
If anyone could help me with this that would be great.Hello Fiona,
Congratulations on your new iPhone! You can sync information to your iPhone from your MacBook Pro using the Info tab in iTunes when your iPhone is connected. Use the steps in the following article:

How do I set up my windows phone to sync calendar and contacts with BT mail
ThanksOutlook 2003 and 2007 is supported. Outlook 2002 is not supported.
You must select Outlook for syncing contact information and calendar events under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
And copied from my previous post.
+If Outlook does not include any contact information or calendar events, before syncing enter one contact and one calendar event. Make these up if needed which can be deleted later.+
+This should provide a merge prompt when syncing, which you want to select.+ -
Accessing backed up contacts for two phones
I have multiple phones on my account, but can access the backed up contacts only for one of the phones. I read another thread that said you have to setup a separate account for each line to do this, but how can you setup a separate account for multiple phones on the same account? Trying to register a second time with the other line specified doesn't work because the number is seen as belonging to the same account.
I can't believe Verizon would have prevented this from being done.As Ann154 said, you need to log out of the master account completely to set up (register) each line for it's own account.

Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud 2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel. I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version).
The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.” After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
Sound familiar? Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue? Thanks much in advance!Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!

I use Touchdown from Nitodesk for my work email. Its a little pricey, but it works with your companys OWA (Outlook Web Access) portal. They do have a 30 day trial that they insist that you try to make sure it will work for you before you shell out any money for the app. It syncs the Calendar, notes, tasks, emails etc.
It has a discovery feature that it will figure out what it needs to configure. All you need to provide is how you log into OWA (Username/password, website) and the program does the rest. It works very well for me.
No I am not employed by Nitrodesk. I only use the program. There was no need to ask my IT people to set anything up for me.
Give it a try, it might work as well for you too.
One day I will have to give this app a try, I am just use to configuring my device to sync without a 3rd party app but I have heard that Touchdown seems to be the best thing going to setup a corp sync process.. -
I use google for my email, calendar and contacts. My photos are in iPhoto on my Mac. I have an Android phone. Is there any reason I should move to iCloud?
If you don't use MobileMe then there is no point moving to iCloud.

I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.
It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.

Yes but my point is that the device may not be able to connect to the internet for a period of time. Thus all devices will have different data on them.
So you are constantly (multiple times per hour/day) changing contacts/calendars on different devices with no internet around?
The data gets sync'd only when it changes.
So you are out in the field with no internet.
You make a change on your iPhone. It doens't get sync'd to your computer.
Who cares,? Yo have the data on your phone and you don't have your computer.
Now you drive back to town. When you get a data connection, everything sync's up.
why remove the functionality to sync everything else at the same time, should the user choose or need to do so.
The Sync Services functionality was removed from the OS, so there is nothing for iTunes to use.
It still works in Windows. -
I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?
If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you! -
Using iCloud (for calendar and contacts) AND MobileMe for Keychain
Does anyone who's migrated to iCloud know if it's possible to sync Address Book and Calendar through iCloud and the Keychain through MobileMe (on a separate account)?
Situation is as follows:
I have two accounts - one MobileMe (which I use today for calendar and contact syncing) and an Apple ID (which I used for iTunes)
I wish to convert the iTunes account to an iCloud account
That leaves me with my un-converted MobileMe which I'd like to continue to use for Keychain syncing until Apple puts that functionality in iCloud or they retire MobileMe.
I guess - the nub of the question is - is it still possible to access the MobileMe preference pane and put in a different account when iCloud is up and syncing?
Thanks in advance, Jonathan.SaltSeaShark,
I've looked at the iDisk and there's no way to do it automatically. However when you're back at your home iMac, you can copy the files that you find in ~/Library/Keychains onto your iDisk. Then when you're at your friend's iMac, you can copy the *.keychain files in your iDisk to the ~/Library/Keychain folder on your friend's machine (in the account that you're using).
That way - you can open your keychain locally - although it won't sync backwards and forwards. An alternative is to use a third-party product such as 1Password - of which there's an iPad app - as well as a web interface (when combined with Dropbox).
Hope that helps - Jonathan. -
Hello, Does anyone know how I can sync my BBZ10 with my computers Outlook Calendar and Contacts? It was working but since my computer returned from being repaired it doesn't sync and gives me the following message
"Device Pin not set in TransConfig.xml.for translator RimBB"I did resolve it, it was so long ago but here's what I suggest:
-First remove the software on your computer by going to the add/remove programs if you're using a PC. If you're using Mac, I'm not sure where you go.
-Then go to BB website and download the correct program for you phone
-Check both your phone and computer have all their updates
With the newest updates I have no trouble syncing my calendar/contacts from my PC to my BB and vice versa. It was just initially when the BB was so new they hadn't updated the programs. Over time the fixed the glitch, this is why I recommend you remove the program you have and start over, it will probably fix itself. -
Will Mail For Exchange sync calendar and contacts ...
Dear fellow Nokia Users,
I have had my E71 for 3 weeks and I am very happy with it!
I am running a small company, and I am considering moving our email from IMAP to Exchange. As I have understood things, there is an application to install to use MFE.
Will calendar and contact be synced on the phone, or is it just email?
Thanks and kind regards,
Jesper
Solved!
Go to Solution.You need a Microsoft Exchange Server for Mail for EXCHANGE to work.
For push mail to work with Exchange the MfE client uses Microsoft Exchange Activesync to connect to the server.
For IMAP - I think you'll need Nokia Messaging.
If you have an Exchange Server, then your content from your Outlook based service such as your calender contacts and tasks as well as your mail will work fine.
I rent an Exchange Service from one and one that works very well with the E71.
Shunts...
