N96 copy contacts to Memory Card

Does anyone know how to copy your contact to the MMC Memory card or internal mass memory (not sim card) on the N96 like you can do on the N95.
I go into contacts and mark all then goto copy but the only option I have on the N96 is copy to sim. My old N95 gave me the option to copy to memory card
Any ideas??

Firmware 10.065
Custom Version 10.065.256.1

Go to Solution.

So basically it's very similar to the N95...
Where you enter the contacts section, press the options at the bottom left of the display and scroll down to select Mark/Unmark and go right via the right centre button to open the drop  down box selecting mark all. Which places a tick next to each contact. Then press options again scvrolling down to copy, then across to the right to memory card. then select yes at the prompt
But in the N96 you select copy business card to other memory. The N95 also copies the contacts as these same types of files (VCF).
what would be interesting to find out is the N96 vcf format is the same and compatible with the N95. Bearing in mind  that a contact saved as a vcf file from the N95 when read in widows pc is not forced to see all the data available to be viewd on the N95. Moreover and this is bad coding from Nokia themselves their own software suite is unable to fully read the N95 VCF files that you might back up. Thus be warned that the only sure fire way to restore contact data fully is to back up to mass memory then import from those said files directly with the phone.
If you use the nokia suite to back up and restore or outlook there is a very good chance that you may lose some contact data in the process, especially where you have multiple numbers applied to a single contact. This is due to the way the vcf files are read.

  • Importing contacts from memory card

    Have recently got new 5800 after mine got wet. The new one is slightly different and I have put my memory card from old one into new phone.
    I can't seem to find the right route to import my numbers off my memory card.
    I'm sure the card is not corrupted as it had all my music on which automatically transfered when I opened real player.

    file manager>double click the memory card>option>copy contacts>from memory card...
    this is how i remembered doing it.

  • E52 backup contacts to memory card bug.

    I tried to create a backup of my contacts(550) to memory card. While doing so it copies exactly 205 contacts and displays "205 contacts copied,345 contacts not copied". I tried more than 10 times.
    When checked in memory card also there were only 205 contacts.
    Anybody else facing this issue?
    5110->1100->6100->3230->6233->6681->N72->N73->5800->(With E52 I am done with Nokia)

    Usually if there is a duplicate entry in the contacts database the name will not be displayed when receiving a call or an SMS, once you hunt down and delete the entry then it will display again. This has been the same in all of my Nokia, if I see no display I know that the NUMBER has been duplicated somewhere.
    @tranworld.
    I already checked, and no duplicate entries of them. Strange.
    Then I tested with my wife's phone, she has 2, 1 GSM, 1 CDMA phones. Those 2 numbers in 1 contact. I misscall my phone using those phones. The GSM is identified well. But the CDMA strangely only show the Numbers, not the contact name.
    And the second test, with my dad's phone. 2 GSM in same contact. 1 GSM (which had been used to contact me before) it's ok. It showed my dad's name. But the second number, again, is only showed the number not my dad's name.
    So, I thought that E52 failed to identified numbers in same contact, only one number will do. The other numbers will keep unidentified.
    I checked also the SIM contacts. Yes, there are duplicates of those numbers, but why first number (that identified well) are not failed also? Why it only happens to second (or third so on) numbers?
    Does anybody has some kind of this problem?
    btw. My phone is off by itself just now. And it already the 5th time for 7 days i had bought.

  • Extrovert phone: I moved my contacts to memory card. How do I get the phone to read them?

    the only way i can get the contacts to read is if they are on the phone's memory. how do I set the phone to look at the memory card first for contacts?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If your contacts are correctly synced, then as you start to type the address in the address line of an e-mail it will auto complete.
    If this is not happening, check that your contacts are synced properly, and that you have contact syncing turned on in your system preferences >Icloud settings.

  • Save all contact to memory card?

    I have 721 contact and i cannot save all to my sim card so it is possible to save to memory card? I using C6-00 and i just wanna save it for backup only in case

    Hi, should be able to do by going here: Select Menu-> Applications -> Office -> File mgr. and Backup.
    I suggest you do a back up to a computer if you have one too using either Ovi suite or Nokia pc suite (windows). Isync for mac.

  • Transferring contacts onto memory card

    Hi there
    I want to sync 1200 contacts from Outlook onto my Nokia 6300. But when i sync my Outlook with the phone, only 1,000 contacts are synced. Is there any way of ensuring all my Outlook contacts are saved on the 2gb memory card in the phone?
    Cheers

    The limit seems to be 1000 contacts - doesn't matter where it's stored.  I had a Sony Ericsson handset (K750i) that had a limit of 500 contacts.  Heaven only knows why manufacturers impose these random limitations!

  • Copying contacts name and number onto SIM card

    Hi. Firstly I know there are topics* on this, albeit outdated and offer no real solutions.
    This issue need serious attention.
    Scenario
    BB Curve scroller is broke, can't scroll up/down.
    Backed up my contact list to restore later when I get my fixed phone back.
    Meanwhile, to use a replacement phone, I will need some contact names + numbers on my SIM.
    I cannot count on the replacement being a BB, don't count on sync.
    Solutions
    Copying a few contacts one-by-one is _not_ an option, without a scroller this is impossible.
    Example: Home screen > press "c" for contacts -> filter to contact > menu > press "v" to select view > can't scroll to the number to actualize the 'copy to SIM' menu action.
    So, how can I copy my contacts to the SIM card?
    Notes
    Reading the older threads, there is very unhelpful biased rude remarks about how this requested "feature" is not 'important' enough or a real requirement for modern phones.
    I say this house is built on wobbly foundations. This is the base of HID (human interaction devices), cross communication and transfer of data. 
    I'm disappointed in RIM for locking down the device in such a way - so many folks ask for this feature, because it is a standard around since the first of cellular phones.
    SIM card may only have 32K of storage, but I still expect them to keep a name and a number if I need.

    Unfortunately, I don't either. If you delete the MobileMe account from the iPhone, I believe you'll erase all of the contact info on the iPhone. If it's not in MobileMe either...well, that's not good!
    One possibility for the contacts data (but not the calendar data). Contacts are backed up when you sync the iPhone (not to your Address Book via sync with MobileMe active, but in the iPhone backup made by iTunes before a sync). There's 3rd party app, MobileSyncBroswer, which can export the contact info from the iPhone's backup file on your hard drive. You'd need to buy a license to actually export the contact data, the free version lets you see part of the contact info so you can make sure it's there.

  • How can I back up from a memory card?

    I use Photoshop elements ver 9. I have moved my catalog from my harddrive to a SD memory card. When I try to make a full backup from the memory card to an external hard drive Photoshop reports "Backup sucsessful". But when I look at the back up Photshop has only created the backup informations files. Non of the JPG files has been copied from the memory card to the hard drive. How can I solve it?

    furoyv a écrit:
    Thank you.  But I do not feel very comfortable with the solution.
    A couple of questions:
    1. Is the problem solved if I upgrade to Version 13?
    No.
    2. I consider to use Lightroom. Is the backup function in Lightroom capable of backing up form a SD card?
    Lightroom does not backup picture files, only its catalogs. You must have an external way to backup your pictures. On the other hand, it's easier to reconnect 'missing' files in Lightroom.

  • Formating N82 Memory Card

    Hi guys,
    I installed an app (MovingBall_Example.sisx) on my N82 onto the memory card. The app installed two file. the MovingBall app as well as a RDAccelerometer.dll file. This app designed for the N95's but i thought it will work fine on the N82.
    On the first run of the app, it opened and ran for awhile then crashed. i restarted the phone and it hung on the nokia's white screen for ages. I then restarted it a again after removing the battery, but no luck. It will only work if the memory card is removed.
    I've had a look on the card, and it seems that some folders and files are corrupted. I have made a copy of the memory card and want to reformat it. What format should i reformat it to and what folders can i safely put back?
    I've got the following folders :
    -cities -- (Navigation folder)
    -Images,videos,sounds,other (Default storage)
    -Resource
    -Sys
    The corrupt files are in sys\uninstall...is it safe to delete items from this folder?
    Also, should I touch the sisregistery folder at all?
    If I remove all traces the MovingBall_0xE14A45B8.exe & RDAccelerometer.dll from the \bin & \resource will it be okay?
    Thanks

    Hi Hempiz,
    If i were you its best to format the entire card and not just deleting certain files.
    If its corrupt and you leave files on there the problems will probably still remain or return.
    Its worth biting the bullet and formatting the whole card.
    My posts are my opinion and in no way the direct views of Nokia.
    If my posts are helpful, please give me some KUDOS using the green star on the left.

  • Copying/Moving messages from Memory card to phone ...

    Hello,
    I had a nokia 5800, when i was changing my phone, i copied all my (important) text messages to the memory card and later i bought a nokia e71x. I inserted the same memory card and then went to my messages>settings>Other> and changed the path from phone memory to the memory card. All my messages appeared in my inbox.
    Now, i want to move all those messages into my phone memory and for some reason i can't do it. I don't wanna access my messages from the memory card cuz its slow. I tried to move all those messages inside the phone and also through PC SUITE but no luck...
    SO BASICALLY I WANT TO MOVE ALL MY TEXT MESSAGES FROM THE MEMORY CARD TO PHONE MEMORY.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thanks in advance.

    First of all if size of your mp3 was a concer then you should have used the Music Manager in PC Suite to convert them to aac as they would be super small in size.
    Next use File Manager to move from the card to the phone. Better to sva eringtones on the phone or you would lose the 'link' everytime you take your card out.
    Two ways to set the ringtone for everyone. First would be to set it in your profile. And the other would be to set it to Groups... and the last one, each contact at a time.
