Migrating from Lumia 535 to the Z3!

I am currently using a Lumia 535, and wish to migrate away from it to a BlackBerry Z3.Have a whole lot of contacts (600+ unique entries) stored on their servers (people.live.com) which I would like to import into BlackBerry Z3 and have them synchronized with my BlackBerry ID account.Is there any straight-forward method to perform the migration away from the Lumia and to the Z3? Perhaps via the microSD card!I don't have a PC running Windows nor do I have a Macintosh.

Here is what I can tell you. Others may chime in, or you can fill in the blanks yourself..... I believe from what you say that your contacts are store online and associated with a Microsoft Live (or now, outlook.com) account. When you set up the BlackBerry you will add the Microsoft account, and select to sync contacts. I recommend that you set up the account as EAS. Reference http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB33940 (I originally used Live and converted over to outlook.com, but still use the live.com address for email. I started as IMAP and switched to EAS. But I don't sync contacts and calendar, hence the lack of detail in my post. But you will figure it out. From others I know it works like a charm.)

  • I was migrating from a 3gs to the 4s. Big mistake. Have lost contacts and access to music and apps.

    I was migrating from a 3gs to the 4s. Having never upgraded the IOS before, I thought that I should do that before handed the phone down to my daughter to replace her broken 3g. Big mistake. Even using Google sync for my contacts, following instruction from the Google webpage (ambiguous: cancel or not when error message is displayed?) the contacts did not sync to gmail. iTunes says it will sync contacts, but doesn't from the phone, only from the few that were in my old Gmail account. The iCloud set up asks for email and a new password- not specifying that you should use your old email and password for your old iTunes account or your phone will be instantly locked out of those apps and tunes stored there. The web info says you can't merge accounts or passwords, so, I bet I have to cancel the new set up and start over with the old password if it will even let me. I've spent 8 hrs reading, syncing, et c., on this! It will be a long time before I casually buy a new phone from them! I wonder how much time it will take to switch from the 3GS to the 4S? I now have a 3GS without contacts, no way to get the data from those files back, and can't get the apps to it or the 4S until Apple support helps fix the double identity problem.
    Considering that I had verbal instructions from the Apple store prior to the IOS upgrade, reviewed all the details on line, I think this process is woefully lacking in clarity and transparency. The local ATT branch offered nothing except backing up to avoid loss of contacts if both phones were taken to the store, but not any help with the IOS or iTunes content. Cable internet for the 3GS backup and IOS 5 upgrade seemed to take about 2 hours. At least calender, notes, etc. were done correctly and 2500 picture and videos were not removed.

    After the last post,I went to the local ATT for some feedback. The manager there, Stephen, was helpful and spent a long time, even after i had gotten the abbreviated list of contacts I had constructed from the 3GS to the 4S by an iTunes sync with the correct options selected. This however, would not sync notes. I took screen pix of my many stock symbols for future reference, and got them to transfer with Bump (as photos, in case I want to refresh my memory on some of the symbols added previously). I emailed myself copies of 28 notes i did not want to lose, because the iCloud back up would not initially work. After what seemed like years, I finally was able to get it working, following repeated refusal to Merge because of "not enough space available" @5GB even though everything was turned off except contacts and calendar.
    My old phone is finally backed up to the cloud after I turned off location service on new phone, and a bunch of apps and photo data showed up for the first time, as icons to be turned off on the old phone in the  Manage Storage window. It said it was going to back up 8 GB of photos when the photo backup had been turned off on the prior screen. (The screws are loose, and the worm has turned on this software at Apple.)
    Backup for notes, a few contacts, and calendar, over high speed wifi, took 25 minutes to complete without photos.
    I have never seen anything this troublesome in the Apple OS!
    You will need to set your own Apple ID and a .me email ID if you want to use the cloud. My recommendation and that of the store manager for the first time is don't back up any photos, let it erase the photo stream if it wants to. The camera roll should be ok.
    Backing up to the iCloud removed all my stocks from the old phone! It wasn't supposed to. Be sure to select leave data on phone at every opportunity- even so, there they went. It did not remove contacts or calendar when backing up, though the IOS 5 upgrade had lost my years of contacts since I had not specified that they should be saved when I hit the simple sync in iTunes the first time and since Googlesync failed to connect properly for me over wifi as noted above.
    All in all it appears nothing is going to clone your phone or preserve all the data through a IOS 4.x to 5 migration, though I did not do it right the first time with iTunes, and complicated matters by starting with a new ID instead of my old iTunes account and password, living in a small town, away from any Apple store, though if you can't be there at an Apple store with both phones in hand, they probably can't help much unless they walk you through each option in iTunes and you are very attentive. The store genius I saw did not do this, though I had yet to order the phone at that point.
    Good Luck!

  • Accessing Amazon Music Library from Lumia 535

    Greetings,
    I recently switched to Lumia 535 from Android phone. For Android, Amazon had the Cloud Player app which let the users access their Amazon Music library from their phone. How do I access the Amazon Music library on my new Lumia?
    Note: I do not have a Windows computer. I only have a Chromebook. I also posted this question in the Windows Phone forum, but didn't get any useful response.
    Thanks!

    Hello there, sueinspain.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information in regards to Home Sharing:
    Understanding Home Sharing
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819
    To create a playlist, the article mentions:
    With Home Sharing, you can stream music and video from one authorized computer to another, or drag music between computer libraries.
    So you may want to import the desired music to the Library on your Mac, then you should be able to create the playlist.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Is there an easy way to migrate from Outlook 2007 on the PC to Mac Mail?

    Upgraded to a new Macbook Pro. I have a laptop with Office 2007 with Outlook 2007. What is the best way to migrate to the new Macbook Pro? Also, If I set up the cloud, will it sync with Mac Mail (Do I have to have an @ icloud.com email or can I use the email I registered with ICLOUD?)
    Thanks for your help.
    Richie

    Create the zone, and migrate like a physical server -- but take care with your storage. You'll either have to add the devices into the zone's configuration or loopback mount them into the zone.
    Either way works.

  • Issue in usability of Microsoft lumia 535 - Behavior of Key '- ' , on bottom right corner of home screen, is ambiguous.

    Hi All,
    I am new to this forum. And I may have incorrectly raised my concern here - over the usability aspect 'Microsoft lumia 535' mobile phone. Please help - to forward my concern to the correct forum in that case.
    I faced issue in using the key '->' on bottom right corner of phone's home screen (scroll down on the home screen to use the key). Clicking the key '->' should ideally take to the screen to it's right where all the applications are listed. As per known
    behavior of earlier phones of the lumia series like 630,525 etc.
    However, the behavior is ambiguous, sometimes the click on '->' takes to its right screen, and sometimes it refreshes the home screen. And sometimes there is no impact of the click. The behavior is thus improper and provides bad experience in using it.
    Earlier I thought this defect is specific to the phone I purchased, but further I analyzed other 'Microsoft lumia 535' - and the same issue was observed in all the other pieces of lumia 535.
    Please let me know, if it is issue and is already known, or if the behavior is intentional then what is the reason for the same?

  • How best to migrate from MacPro to iMac w/ SSD and extrenal drives

    Currently I have a MacPro with 4 drives - 3 1TB and 1 2Tb, the 2TB drive is my main hard drive, so it has system, apps, documents, itunes etc....and it has been upgraded and migrated from one computer to the next as long as apple has had the ability to do so (and before that by moving over targeted drive manually). I currently am running 10.6.8 on the machine. I have ordered a new iMac w/ an internal 512gb SSD drive, and after speaking with an Apple rep, I got a THunderbolt enclosure to house my current 4 hard drives. Now my question is how best to get my preferences etc into the new computer w/o dragging along all the old stuff...(ie old apps not compatible w/ Mountain Lion, old system folders, etc). Here is what I would like to do:
    1. setup SSD with OS, fresh installs of Apps, and my fonts (i am a designer and i have a gazillion fonts and they always take way to long to load into my font app).
    2. I would like my 2TB drive to eventually just include my home directory where all my files, and such will be stored. But I would like to keep the drive as is to make sure everything is working just in case, I dont want to have any down time during the upgrade process (ie if a client calls me and needs something while I am still setting up I could boot off the 2tb drive and work). But after all is working properly then I would like to make it just the home directory and main place for all files etc
    3. My remaining 3 drives are broken up for manual backups of my work on 2 of the drives, and then photos and mp3s on one, and movies and tv shows from itunes on the other. I dont currently run Time Machine or Retrospect or RAID....
    I see most people saying to create 2 admin accounts, one that would stay on the SSD drive and the other which could be mapped to the 2TB drive and have its home directory there...but what do I do about moving preferences etc? is there a way when setting up that will let me import my current account and let me keep it on the external drive as is? should i move the files that i want to keep off the 2tb drive, wipe it to get rid of the old apps and system and then put back the home directory??I don't want to run into trouble with permissions, and I really dont even want to create 2 accounts because I hate having to close everything and log out for simple installs and updates...i have 2 on my macbook pro now and i run into errors all the time of i cant update this or that because of admin account...even though both accounts are set as admin.
    I want to keep the whole upgrade simple, but I would like to keep this fresh system clean as  am sure there is way to much left over garbage from upgrades past. So just not sure how best to do any of it.....

    I purchased the DataTale RS-M4t SMART 4-Bay Thunderbolt RAID storage enclosure. But it can do both RAID if you get their data manager software download, or it can just mount the drives and be used normally. So basically I can plug all 4 of my current drives into it...and it into my iMac and it will be same as if I had it in my tower....so really not moving over a ton of stuff. I will load all apps fresh onto the brand new iMac - so the SSD will be a clean install...my worries are trying to get access to home directories etc on the current main drive and have things get setup correctly, keychains, bookmarks, etc...as well as my iTunes which has iPad and iPhone backups, etc. I am just not sure as how to best setup the SSD to get the most of its speed while being able to get my current account working but on the second external drive.

  • Migrating from Powerbook G4 to Macbook Pro - Anything I need to know?

    I'm about the begin the process of migrating from one computer to the other. I have cleaned/tidied up my powerbook, tossing old files and making sure all is in order.
    Is there anything special I need to know?
    Here are my specific questions before I get started:
    1. Email/Calendar: currently on powerbook, I'm using entourage for email and calendar. Basically I like the calendar system because back a few years ago when I was needing a calendar, the entourage calendar made more sense to me. I've heard that "Mail" is much better these days. Is it? Can I import my current email settings in powerbook/entourage into MBP/mail and be good to go? Will my calendar import or will I need to start over? Do you recommend the calendar system in MBP or should I keep entourage. Let it be known: I HATE ENTOURAGE. ABout twice a day, it crunches and "freezes" while it does something behind the scenes and during that time, I can do nothing with EMAIL. Bleh on MS.
    2. I know I will use the migrate wizard in utility folder. Will it move my applications or will I need to reinstall photoshop, etc? Will it move my keychain (embarassingly enough, I require this tool as I can't remember the gazillion passwords I have)? Will it move my settings?
    3. Anything else I need to be aware of in the process?
    Thanks for your help!
    Sign me, Thrilled with a new MBP with Leopard!

    If you could copy you mail and ical data over and not use the migration software. You would have possibly a more stable machine.
    If you was going intel to intel then migration would be OK, but you going PPC to intel and you dont want it moving over any odd PPC app. You really want it to run all intel versions.
    You can copy the folder and pref files that are on your old Mac over to the same locations on the new one and it will all work OK, keychains you would need to just make a not of the passwords and add them again.
    We tend to only use the migration as a last resort to ensure the best possible migration we copy only required data and files manually and re install any third party apps as most put to many files all over the place that makes copying them tricky. Then try and make sure you have all intel version of any of your old third party apps to stop ressetta kicking in and eating up your free RAM.
    If you can do this then your not moving any redundant files across, a clean system is a better system.

    Dear Pranjal,
    If you are doing only the technical upgrade and to migrate from TAXINJ
    to TAXINN the following things should be done.
    1. Short close all the open Purchase Order and recreate the PO in the
    new upgraded system with TAXINN.
    2. Complete the LIV for all the Open GRs.
    3. Close all the Open Sales Order and Recreate in the upgraded system.
    We recommend you to not change the Tax procedure from TAXINJ to TAXINN,
    you may adopt the TAXINN concept only for the Sales side and not for the
    Proceurement process. You can keep the Tax procedure but you can
    implement the TAXINN concept only for the Sales side.

  • I can't migrate from my old mac

    Hello--
    I have an old mac, OSX 10.4.11, and a new mac OSX 10.8.2. I have updated both computer's migration assistants, and followed the tutorial for migration assistant on Apple's support section. I've even tried several ethernet cables!
    I click "migrate to a new mac" on my old mac, then "migrate from another mac" on the new mac, and the new mac tells me I need to update my migration assistant on my old mac. Since I just did that, I can't find any other apps that would involve a new/different update of migration assistant.
    My old mac is pretty putsy and old... it's turning 7 this year. I haven't always been good about keeping all programs updated on it. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Kate

    Create a backup of the old computer onto an external HD using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy cloner or if you want do a one time backup clone using Disk Utility. Then use Migration Assistant along with the back up EHD and you're all set.  Remember it will migrate apps if you have chosen that feature however you probably have some old PPC based apps  that  will not run on Mountain Lion.

    Arjun,
    you cannot do an online migration with MS Access as you can do with other foreign datasources. You can only do an offline migration.
    The first step that you need to do is to call the Microsoft Access Exporter. Click on Tools - Migration - Microsoft Access Exporter and chose the exporter of the MS Access version that you are using.
    The exporter creates an xml file for you. After the exporter has finished you can do the migration, click on Tools - Migration - Migrate, but in Step 4 please select "Offline", and then you can select the xml file that the exporter has created. The following steps in the Migration assistant are then doing the migration for you.
    You might also want to read the chapter "Before Migrating From Microsoft Access" in the online help of SQL Developer.

  • Data Migration from CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0

    Hi Friends,
    We are into a re-implementation on CRM 7.0. The old system was on CRM 5.0.
    Since this is not an upgrade, the data will not copied over from the old system into the new system.
    So, now I would like to know how to migrate data (master/transaction) from CRM 5.0 into 7.0.
    I have read that we can make use of BAPI/LSMW/IDOC/XIF adapters to push info into CRM.
    But, the customer wants all the historical data to be in the new system.
    I think master data can be handled....  but how to migrate the transaction data?.... i mean the number ranges/document flow.. and other relationships.. how can we maintain the same links into the new system?
    If it was a migration from legacy system into the SAP CRM, we could have gone ahead with new number ranges etc... but this migration is from SAP to SAP.
    Also, we will have ECC6.0 connected to CRM 7.0. ANy additional things to be taken care of when the connection is live in DEV/QA/PROd instances?
    Any pointers to this ?

    Hi Gary,
    As per my understanding, your data migration involves quite complex scenarios covering the CRM and ERP box. As the customer needs the old data to be present in the new implementation, the old data needs to be migrated from the CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0. For the migration to happen, you need to setup the customization (like the number ranges,Condition Data Tables, etc ). Then only you can proceed with the data migration. Also, you need a proper backup plan as this involves proper backup of the data.
    Once the setup is complete, you need to configure the ECC6.0 with the CRM7.0 system. Here also, you need to do a lot of settings and performing the Initial loading of the Adapter Objects. But before you proceed with the entire operation, the entire system landscape must be properly defined with appropriate settings.
    My recomendation is to take help of SAP Consultants and data migration experts as they are the best persons to guide you on this. Also it would be great if you can go through the SAP Best Practices documents which are best repository documents to guide you on this.
    Have a look on this link for an overview of the CRM Data Migration
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/1a/023d63b8387c4a8dfea6592f3a23a7/frameset.htm
    Hope this helps.

  • Migrating from a Mini w/ Tiger to a Mac Pro w/ Leopard

    Tomorrow FedEx should be delivering a Mac Pro that I got a sweet deal on via the Apple Refurbished Macs store online. I want to migrate the apps I have installed on a Mac Mini onto the Mac Pro so that I don't have to reinstall them, and I wouldn't mind having all my preferences and settings show up on the new Pro as well.
    I went by the Apple store in Green Hills and they gave me a primer on using the Migration Assistant to get stuff from one machine to the other. I have a question from my notes:
    I've written down that "the Pro will ask if I want to migrate from another computer - select the Mini" (which I'll have connected via Firewired).
    Then it is going to ask something like "Files" or "Home Folder" -- and I neglected to note which is the proper choice.
    Anybody familiar enough with this routine to be able to tell me which choice I'm supposed to make at that juncture?
    Thanks,
    --PS

    Is your Mini an Intel or PPC model? If the latter I'd recommend against using Migration Assistant. See the following:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (pre 4.0 does not work, 4.1 required for Leopard), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work, 4.6.1 required for Leopard), SuperDuper (newest release), and Drive Genius work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
    Intel In Macs
    Apple Guide to Universal Applications
    MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
    MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications
    MacUpdate List of Intel-Compatible Software
    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
    Basically the instructions you should follow are:
    1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
    4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
    Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
    Credit goes to another forum user for this information.
    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.
    Written by Kappy with additional contributions from a brody.
    If you plan to migrate an entire user account, then you cannot be logged into a user account with the same name. You should create your first admin account using a different name from the one you will migrate. You can log into your old account after migration and delete the other account.
