NOKIA N79 CANT BACKUP CONTACT DATA TO MEMORY CARD

hello,
I am not able to backup the contact data of my nokia n79 to memory card. When performing the above function the progress bar progresses for sometime goes 50 % completed and then returns to the home screen. Tried formatting the phone/MC as well as re-flashed the firmware but no use. Is there anyone having similar issue ?. FYI the phone is under warranty and there is no proper response
from the nokia centre so i have decided to repair it myself. Is there any workaround for this issue ??
Thanx in advance

My question still stands though, if you look in the directory, has it actually backed up all your contacts or not? meaning are all the *.vcf files there.
if not, which file does is the last that was created,  find the equivalent in the contacts database, and check if there is something wrong/different with the next contact compared to others?
Yes, there may be an error, but at least until it is fixed you may be able to work around it.
(I presume there is plenty of space on your memory card? note that the phone has a self imposed limit to prevent memory card from being completely full, so if card is very close to full it is possible that backup utility stops)

    The Contacts are saved either on the SIM or in Phone Memory ..
    ..and since the code provided by aspergerguy will wipe user data (as already mentioned in that post)..back-up your important data before the Reset ..

  • How to move contacts from my Memory card into Cona...

    When I connect N73 to my PC via the Nokia PC Suite the Contacts folder as diplayed on the PC shows the same content as the folder with my contacts on my memory card. Yet when I use the phone the Contacts icon displays only the contacts from the SIM card and there seems no way how to make it see the contacts on the Memory card.
    I have tried everything I could think of but no joy. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I believe you will need to do this manually for a small number of contacts.
    If you have a large amount of contacts, you could export your contacts to a USB stick on your Mac, set up a second user account on a friends Mac running Lion and log into iCloud via system prefs > iCloud,, import the contact from the USB on your friends mac and sync them.

  • Nokia 6151 - i cant move contact to phone memory..

    does anyone know why i can't move all my contacts to phone memory..the phone shows this message "phone memory protected"..
    please help me..
    do i need to do any setting ?
    thanks a lot

    This is correct.
    iphone will sync with one library at a time.  Syncing to a new one will indeed erase the current content.
    Just put everything on the new hard drive from your backup copy and sync your iphone.

  • Not able to Delete the data from Memory card

    Hi all,
    I have bought a new nokia 3120 classic.it is working fine but recently i have received some data from my friend.
    Then suddenly the problem begins like.. when i take a photo.. i am getting error like the image is not in the format and i am not able to save that.And also, the main problem is I am unable to delete the data from my memory card.
    Every time after deleting i am getting the same data.
    Why this happening..is it because of VIRUS?? If so how to delete the virus from my memory card??
    When i contacted the nokia care people in bangalore they are saying that they can offer the service of formatting the memory card??
    Except that my Phone is working fine..the problem is with Memory card!!!
    Please help me...

    you can actually format your memory card first see if you have such option on your phone to format directly from the phone if that is not possible you can always use a card reader and reformat your card using your pc. just understand that all data from that memory card will be lost unless you do a back up of it. if you do a back up and restore the data to the memory card after reformat you might get the same issue so be careful as to what you will decide to do with the data from the card. once you format your card it should all be good unless the card is corrupted itself which can also happen. but first try with the reformat and see if it works out for you.

    Open Ovi Maps application upon device and perhaps download a few kb's of map data for your current position, then close application and re-try.

    THen when I turned it on it wouldn't pick up my memory card. I've done everything i can think of. But nothing works!
    I would be really grateful for any help you can offer
    Thanks in advance

    Have you a memory card reader you can use .
    Or tru connecting phone to Mass Staorage USB mode can you then read your memory card .
    If you can read by either method suggest you copy memory to PC .

  • 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.

  • Memory Card backup

    Hello everybody
    I bought a new 16 GB memory card for my N96, but I don't know what to de exactly now.  I just want to transfer the data from the old memory card onto the new one.  What's the best way to do this?
    Thank You
    Dieter Vanmarcke 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Best is to use the PC...
    1. Insert the old card in the phone in Mass storage (or use card reader) 
    2. Make sure you have set your Windows/Mac to show hidden files
    3. Create a folder on the PC and copy all files and folders from the card to the PC 
    4. Insert the new card into the phone and simply paste back the files and folders from the PC 
    Of course, you can always use PC Suite Backup (make sure you have selected to backup User files on Memory card), but the Mass storage mode is easier. 
    BTW, you may need to instruct the phone to use the Memory card for storage (SMS, images), but I think you won't need to do that...

  • Nokia 5610 does not recognize memory card

    I have acquired a Nokia 1GB microSD memory card for Nokia 5610 d-1.
    But  the memory card is not recognized.
    In Nokia 6303 the same memory card is recognized.
    I have formatted them with this mobile phone.
    Nevertheless, the 5610 (v10.00) does not recognize it.
    I have taken out the memory card also several times and have started again.
    What's wrong?

    anyone?
