Moving Contacts from MacBook to Z10

Hello:
I am very excited about my new Z10
The main issue that has perhaps unnecessarily taken up too much of my time is getting my contacts to transfer from my Macbook to my Z10. I have saved them as a Vcard group as well as a .csv Excel file on my Mac’s desktop. I have also signed into my Gmail account on my Blackberry and so far, although I see my gmail account in the account section, I am only able to have my Linkedin contacts show up in my contact app.
I have spent a while reading forumsn user guides etc and have had no luck. Would anyone have any solution?
Cheers
Gord

Are your contacts in "Contacts"? Have you tried iCloud? I just did because my gmail calendar isn't working. The contacts synced over nicely. The calendar did not, unfortunately.
When I first got the phone, I used Gmail to do that. I specifically added a link in Contacts to my Gmail account. Then I was able to select all of the contacts and drag & drop on the "All Google" group.
One issue is that if any already exist in Google, then the info won't be overwritten or even added to. I had to manually go through those conflicts and copy the info in (using the Contacts app).
If you don't really need all that info in Gmail, I'd try iCloud first, personally. Just add a new account using the default option with your @me.com or @icloud.com address (not your Apple ID address if it's some other email address).

    How do I transfer contacts from MacBook Air to I Phone 6

    Hello Sm1942, 
    You can sync your contacts in one of two ways. The first way is to use iTunes to sync them over and you can find the option in the Info tab to sync them. The other option is using a syncing service like iCloud and you can set that up on both on your iPhone and your MacBook Air. For information on how doing either option, the articles below will get you going.

  • Asha 501 how to transfer contacts from Macbook

    Hi,
    did anybody find out about the best way to transfer contacts from MacBook's address book to the new Asha 501?
    I tried by bluetooth, however, whenever I try to open the Vcard with all my contacts only the first contacts starting with the letter "A" are copied.
    One work around would be to send my Vcard from the Mac by email to my phone and open the Vcard in my Asha 501. However, the Vcard with all my contacts is 4,6 MB big. I cannot open this attachement in my Asha 501. 
    Any tip appreciated. Thanks, J.

  • How do I move contacts from macbook pro to iPad mini

    How do I move my "contacts" from my MacBook Pro, to my iPad mini

    Not sure exactly what you mean by "move" (or what the circumstances are), but the easiest way to get those on the iPad would be to sync them via iCloud (turn on contacts in iCloud on both devices).

  • Moving contacts from nokia 6300 to Iphone 4

    hi,
    sorry if I'm making a new discussion uneccessarily but I can't find an adequate solution on the internet at the moment, so any advice would be much appreciated. I'm trying to move my contacts from my nokia 6300 to my iphone 4. I'm running a pc on windows xp with the latest Itunes (11.1.3), Iphone has latest os.
    I have used the nokia pc suite to 'syncronise' my contacts to my default windows address book so they are on my computer but I'm stuck on the second step from computer to Iphone. I was planning to plug in my Iphone and sync my contacts across by some button on under the 'info' tab in Itunes.. but itunes says 'your contacts are being synced with your Iphone over the air from Icloud. over-the-air settings can be changed on your Iphone'. my problem is that i am not using The Icloud, I've triple in my settings.
    I was using this video on youtube for help but got stuck 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAuEeOGduHk' but got stuck at 0:45
    any solutions for my specific problem or any completely different way would be more than helpful.
    thanks

    Ok I managed it, so in case anyone else has a similar problem and sees this, here are the steps.
    1. In your Contacts section of the Nokia, Options>Mark>Mark All.
    2. Options>Manage>Phone to Memory Card.
    3. Now your memory card has your contacts in .vcf format.
    4. Connect via data cable to Macbook.
    5. Once the icon shows up (Takes 10-15 secs), open it and under Other, see the folder Contacts.
    6. Copy to desktop (or wherever)
    7. Disconnect data cable.
    8. Import into Address Book (Figure out how you wanna handle duplicates...merge, use old or use new) I chose Use New
    9. Plug in the Iphone, sync through Itunes.
    10. Done!

  • Please help: Transferring contacts from Macbook Pro to Nokia 5530

    Hello,
    I used iSync to transfer my contacts from my Nokia to OS X. However, I am not able to do the other way around!! I want to transfer contacts from my macbook to my phone, what am I missing?
    Thanks

    I have 5230 Nuron, what Nokia do you have?
    Did you install the iSync plugin for your Nokia model? They can be downloaded from Nokia's European site
    My plugin in iSync allows me to either merge data on both or erase Nuron and overwrite it with data from my Mac. Calendars and Contacts

  • How to transfer contacts from MacBook Pro Retina to old MacBook Pro running 10.5.8?

    How do I transfer my latest updated contacts from my MacBook Pro Retina running 10.9.1 which uses the cloud to my old Macbook Pro running 10.5.8 which is not in the cloud?

    Thank you very much, Linc, for your suggestion.  I should have mentioned one other thing.  The reason I want to do this is that I use an old phone and, after I upgraded to Mavericks, Missing Sync no longer worked with my MacBook Pro Retina - so my address book in my phone is getting out of date.  Because my phone is old (it's a Palm Centro), they apparently will not likely update their software for this phone.  So I was thinking I could sync my phone with my old MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 if I could regularly get that old address book to mirror contacts in my new MacBook Pro.  You said I could open the contacts in the old MacBook by double-clicking the vCard file. But will that action put them into the old address book on the old Mac so that I could then sync the phone to it? I really need to overwrite the address book in the old Mac with the info that I am bringing over from the new MacBook.
    I'd be grateful if you could tell me whether what I want to do is doable.  This old phone works perfectly well and I don't need a new phone with a data plan that I would pay for but never use.
    Thanks!
    Note - I accidentally indicated that my response solved my question.  I clicked the wrong box.  Linc is the one who solved the problem.

  • Syncing contacts from macbook air to iphone?!

    i plugged my phone into charge yesterday and an hour later my phone had wiped all my contacts! >:(
    i tried plugging my phone into itunes to sync my contacts from my macbook air to my iphone 4s, but itunes 11.1.3 says it's only over icloud?
    so then i tried to do a back up from icloud and apparently my last back up was an hour after i lost my contacts, but when i try to restore it, it only offers back ups from september and prior to that...
    is there anyway i can get the contacts from my mac back onto my phone?

    anyone?

  • Moving Contact From A Group.

    I have set up several Groups in my iPhone but some of my contacts are in "inappropriate" groups.
    How can I move a contact from one group to another without deleting and retyping?

    How did you set up the Groups on your iPhone?
    Are you syncing contacts with the Address Book application on your Mac?
    If so, place the contact in the appropriate Group in the Address Book on your Mac and then sync.
