No "Copy All to Address Book" option in SIM menu, BlackBerry 8100

Hi! I'm new here...so glad I found this forum! I have searched high and low but have not found a way to solve this problem. I've updated my device software, desktop manager, everything I can think of. I even went back into the Setup Wizard and selected the option to copy my SIM contacts to the Address Book. It looked like it copied them over, but when I went to check, nothing showed up.
I've gone into the Filter menu while in Address Book and nothing is checked, yet nothing shows up. I've gone into the Address Book, then SIM Phone Book from the menu, then hit the menu button again and the only options I have are:
New
Call Voicemail
SMS Text Voicemail
MMS Voicemail
Add to Address Book
Switch Application
Close
No "Copy All" option anywhere to be found. This is a BlackBerry 8100. Help! Any suggestions! Filters are off, Setup Wizard's been tried and retried and nothing appears in the Address Book. HELP!

Actually, just yesterday I figured out the problem. Once in the SIM address book I only had to scroll down past the "Voicemail" entry a couple entries down and then when I clicked the menu button the option to "Copy All to Address Book" appeared. All that time and all I had to do was scroll past the first entry. Sheesh!
Thank you for taking the time to reply with another option. I really appreciate it!

I made a copy of my Address Book; it now has abbu atop it and when I open it and try to import it, all my contacts appear for a moment,then disappear. How do I get my contacts back?

Before working with ICloud, I made a copy of my Address Book and saved it to my desktop. When ready to import the information back to my blank address book, the data appears for a brief moment, then disappears, leaving me a blank address book. It appears something is over-riding the permanent downloading of the information. How do I solve this problem?

The Address Book data is kept in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata (where ~ indicates your Home folder). The names of the files here aren't easy to decipher, but if you had a photo of the person with the address card then you can see their photo in icon view making it easy to identify who the card belongs to. And with any file selected and Get Info performed (Command I) you will be able to open More Information and see the phone number.
Another approach would be to copy entire AddressBook folder from the CCC drive and replace the same in your booted HD. But if you have a lot of contacts that you removed and don't want to go through that process again then it may prove easier to boot the CCC drive and open Address Book and write down those two contacts.

If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?
This should help you out to sync it back to several non-Apple software:

How to transfer or copy my complete address book from my BB to another smartphone

Hello Everybody, Could someone tell me how to transfer or copy my complete address book from my BB Torch 9800 to another smartphone and vice-versa? Many thanks in advance for your replies. Best regards, Eric ---------------------------------------- [email protected]

You didn't say what format the other phone will need to import a file into it. That is important.
But creating and exporting your BlackBerry contacts to a generic ascii csv file is possible.:

I have lost all my address book and iCal content on my MacBook Pro. How do I restore from my iPhone?

I have lost all my address book and iCal content on my MacBook Pro. How do I restore from my iPhone? I tried synchronising my iPhone to the MacPro but then lost all the content on the iPhone. I managed to get it back using the restore. This means the only content I have for Address Book and iCal sits on my iPhone!

Put one unique entry in both iCal & Address Book on your Mac. These entries can be fake, that doesn't matter, just make sure Address Book & iCal are not empty. Then when you select to sync contacts & calendars on the Info pane in iTunes, you'll get a merge or replace prompt. Select merge.

What is the cause of Duplicate "Desktops" in the Address Book Options.

Supporting our employees we've been noticing may people with duplicate "Desktops" in the address book options that are causing 2 different issues on their blackbery devices. Either the contacts are duplicated, or when syncing via the USB cable with the desktop manager the incorrect contacts synch to Lotus Notes. For instance, one "Desktop" will have 100 entries and the other "Desktop" will have 200 entries. When syncing with the Desktop Manager it's only syncing with one of the "Desktops" or address books. What causes this issue?

Purpose of the Address Book and the Bookmarks Menu

What is the purpose of the Address Book and the Bookmarks Menu under the show all bookmarks? What is a useful way to use the two? Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
In Address Book, you have the option of entering a web site address in an individual's record. In Safari, by selecting Address Book in System Preferences>Bookmarks, you can access a list of these web addresses via either the Bookmarks Menu or Bookmarks Bar.
Entries in the Bookmarks Menu are one way to enter, sort or access specific bookmarks. My preference is to access my Bookmarks via the Bookmarks Bar. More information can be found via the Safari Help menu (enter Bookmarks in Help's spotlight panel.

How to delete multiple desktop in the address book option?

I am trying to synchronise the adress book to a blackberry.
Here`s the setting,
BES version 4.0.3.5
blackberry 8330
e-mail platform: Lotus Notes on Domino servers
The adress book is the names.nsf file from the computer that is copied to a server.
In the BES console when I double click on the profile of the client to get the properties, I go into the "PIM Sync" and I add the server location in the proper field and the Relative path location in the proper field also.
Client called me this morning telling me that his contacts doesn`t synchronised with his Lotus Notes. After investigating, I see that in the option of the Adress book, if I go in the Desktop, "wireless synchronisation" is "not available".
1st: I removed the info in the profile and apply the changes (from the BES console) wait a minute or 2 then add back the relative path location and the server location.
- after a minute or 2, the client tells me that he sees the "wireless synchronisation" at Yes. but then he says it still not synchronise because he doesn`t see the changes he made that morning.
2nd: I do a soft reset (alt+caps+del)
- now we noticed that there is 2 "desktop" in the options of the adress book
3rd: went into the Options - Advanced Options - service books - and deleted Desktop ALP and Desktop SYNC - did a soft reset again
At one point, I had again only 1 Desktop but for some reason it "doubled" in entries and when I looked in the adress book ,there is a bunch of double entries.
4th: did an enterprise activation on the blackberry (without doing a hard reset to wipe the data) when it completed, I still had 2 desktop, 1 with 530 entries (the good one) was at "wireless synchronisation" at yes, the 2nd desktop (1029 entries) has "wireless synchronisation unavaliable.
When we enter the adress book all entries are now in triple, if I select "select adress book" and I select the 1st one, then all entries are fine. Is there a way to remove the 2nd desktop without interfering with the synchronisation of the first desktop whichi is the good adress book?
sorry for the long explanation and thanks for the help.

I am having a similar problem with an 8900 Curve. Unfortunately, the contacts are all in the BlackBerry, and I can't sync them back to the Lotus Notes address Book, it's the incorrect address book that is trying to sync to Lotus Notes.
I'm afraid if I delete the service books, I'll lose the contacts for good.
Has anyone solved this issue yet?

Copying a complete Address Book entry into the body of an email?

Is there a neat way (other than Copy/Paste one chunk at a time!!) to get a complete Address Book entry complete into the body of an email in plain text (NOT as a V-Card), if I want to send to someone who doesn't use an Address Book on their computer ?

The only way to do what you are asking about is to create an html email. This is possible and assuming you are using Leopard, you can use Mail to do this. Start a new email and select the Stationary button that by default is on the right corner of the new email message window.
Pages cannot be used to create html code and the only way to use Pages to create your newsletter would be to create a PDF and attach it. The other possible option would be to send your email with a link to a webpage. You could experiment with using the Share to iWeb function and see if this could work for you. (Since I swore off - not to mention at - iWeb some time ago I don't know how well this would work.)

How to print out a copy of the address book

No longer going to be using the Blackberry pearl 8130. Heading to a different phone.
I have never activated the email only used as a phone. Would like to printout a copy of my adress book.
I have backed up the address book using the blackberry desktop manager, but I don't see any way to print out the address book
Help

there is not a way to print out the Backup file.
You should sync your contact to outlook or outlook express and print it out from there.
Additionally, printing out and manually re-entering all the contacts when you already have the electronic data would be a waste of time. Just sync your data to outlook then you can export your data back to the new device, according to whatever device you are getting.

New PC W7, copyed Favoritea, Email, address Book on USB stick. How do I import, it only looks on same PC

I've built another PC with Windows 7 64 bit. I want to copy my
IE6 and Outlook Express entrys to Mozilla. You can only import
from MS on same machine. I've copied them all onto a USB stick,
but there's no way to change the file search location.
Any ideas please

Firefox doesn't do email, so it has no use for that address book and email files.
As far as "favorites", Firefox can't "import" favorites data directly from a file or series of files. Firefox will import a bookmarks.html that you can export from IE on that other PC.
In IE:
File > Import/Export - Export to HTML file
''then in Firefox:''
Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = From HTML file

How can I copy the Thunderbird Address Book from Windows to Ubuntu?

I use Windows 8.1 on one Pc and Ubuntu 14.04 on the other.
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards,
Ep

I think the best way is to export the required address books to LDIF files on the first machine and import those LDIF files on the second machine.
Alternatively you can copy the the data *.mab files from one machine to the other. The two default address books are represented by abook.mab and history.mab and can be simply copied. Other user-defined address books will be named as abook1.mab etc and will need to be imported. I'd suggest MoreColumnsForAddressBook for this task.

Warning Upgrade with Mac OS version 10.4.5 deleted all mails + address book

This should not happen. All my old (inbox, outbox) mails and my address book are missing after I uppgrated my Mac OS vesion from 10.4.4 to 10.4.5. There was no ask for Archive and Install so I have no old file versions saved. Is there any possibility to find the old files and recover them ? The spotlight program gives only my new (empty) adress book.
I changed the name of my Home just before the crash - not to recommend?
Power Mac 4G Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Have you moved or renamed your Aperture 3 version? If it is not installed in the "Applications" folder or not named simply "Aperture", then Software Update will not recognize it.
Put Aperture back and "Software Update" should find your version.

Problems with sending icard to all in address book.

I am sending an icard by selecting all in my address book.
You can only select all one page at a time. Well I am on the third page of my contacts & it won't let me send any of them because it says there is an error with the recipient list. I have gone back and checked every one of the addresses on that page and they look fine. Is this a common problem and what could it be? It automatically puts them on list when you select all & adds a comma in between names so it's not something like that.

You don't mention who your ISP is, nor how many contacts are in All. Many ISPs limit the number of e-mails that can be sent in a 24 hour period to thwart spammers. This may be the real cause of the error message you are receiving. All to often error messages don't really address the actual problem.
Just a guess.
Jim
