Nokia N85 copy contacts

I desperately need help to copy my contacts from my N85 phone to my SIM!  The screen on my N85 no longer works (it is just black) but the phone does work so before I get a new phone I really need my numbers out of it!  I need a detailed step by step guide of which buttons to press to copy them across, I may also need to know how to mark them all first too so that it copies them all and not just one.  Its really frustrating because if I could just see the screen I could do it, please help, thanks!

The better solution would be to use PC Suite - connect the phone to the PC, and pressing once the middle of the navigation key should select PC Suite mode on the phone, then you can use the Content Copier to back up contacts, messages etc. without having to worry about going blindly through the phone. The backup can be restored to almost any other Nokia phone.
You could equally use the Communication Centre in PC Suite to export the contacts - you can eitehr export them as a big .CSV file which you can re-import to another phone (this method does not work for messages, only contacts); or you can copy/paste the contacts into a folder on the PC where they will be sotred as individual .VXF filesn which againcan be imoported back to another Nokia phone (It may be possible to import the .VCF files to antoher brand of phone, depending on the software that is provided with it).

  • Copying contacts from N95 to 6233 by help of Nokia...

    I try co copy 475 contacts from N95 to 6233 by using PC Suite: Nokia Content Copier. My OS is Window Vista 32 bits, PC Suive ver.: 6.85.14.1, cable connection.
    I started to backup the contacts from N95, thereafter I tried to restore the contacts to 6233. The restoration process looked normal untill all the contacts should have been copied (100%). Than the process aborted giving the error message: Connection to the phone was lost. Reconnect your phone and restart the import.
    The import log gave the following massage: A fatal error occurred during the import operation. The data was not imported to the phone.
    I need advice!

    Hello Menta!
    Thank you for the response!
    I have now downloaded and installed the Norwegian version of Nokia PC Suite, so now both mobiles, OS and PC Suite are in Norwegian language. I have made new backup of the N95, and tried to restore the contacts into 6233. I got the same error messages, unfortunately!

    Hello. I would like if you were lazy people from Nokia have made a new firmware for Nokia N85.

    Shame on Nokia. Wake up in the centrale and start finally doing something for people.

  • Help please problem with nokia n85

    hi guys
    after updating the nokia n85 to v30.019
    the speaker icon of the music folder disspeard in the menu
    and even the icon of utilities folder disspeard
    how can i restore the icons
    i've tried the hard reset and it didn't work ?!
    waiting for your help guys

    do a back up and reinstall firmware without memory card in your phone. right after the update use code #2 from the list below. 
     1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345
    2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)
    3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. ) For Nokia N97 (unofficial version but works) is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE while holding the power button. Again do not let go until you see the handshake screen.
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.

  • Nokia C7 - Changing Contact types???

    When you add a new contact it automatically shows it as a mobile number.  Is there a way to change this to call it "Home" as some of my contacts have a home number and mobile number but at the moment my C7 will only call them both mobiles and there seems to be no option to change this.
    I would be very grateful for any help with this.

    Hello again !
    I figured out what's the problem There is nothing wrong in your C7 at all ! The thing is : your nokia is saving contacts in your SIM card , which restricts all details what so ever ! In order to be able to save other details , you will have to save your contacts in your phone memory ! More space , more details , almost a unlimited number of contacts unlike in SIM card !
    I advice you to save all your contacts in your phone memory and delete all your contacts from your SIM , keep it empty ( if you want ) , and occasionly backup your contacts in order to be on the safe side !
    To do that :
    1/ We want to make sure you are seeing contacts in the SIM card only :
    * Open the contacts list .
    * Go to "Options" --> "Settings" .
    * Select "Contacts to display" and make sure ONLY "Sim memory" is checked, then press OK and then BACK .
    2/ We want to copy all contacts from the SIM card to the memory card :
    * Go to "Options" --> "Mark / Unmakr" --> "Mark all" .
    * Go to "Options" --> "Copy" , and then select "Phone memory" as it appears .
    3/ Now that the contacts have been saved in the phone memory , no need to keep them in the SIM card , so let's delete them from the SIM card [ /!\ SKIP STEP 3 IF YOU DONT WANT TO DELETE THE CONTACTS FROM THE SIM CARD , however I advice you to do so ] :
    * Go to "Options" --> "Mark / Unmakr" --> "Mark all" .
    * Go to "Options" --> "Delete" , and then select YES .
    4/ Now we must select the phone memory as default for contacts :
    * Go to "Options" --> "Settings" .
    * Select "Contacts to display" and make sure ONLY "Phone memory" is checked, then press OK and then BACK . [ Usually after this step , the phone will automatically do the following step , but here it is just to make sure : ]
    * Select "Default saving memory" and make sure ONLY "Phone memory" is checked, then press OK and then BACK .
    And that's it you can from now on , save in one contact more than one number ( unlike in SIM ) , you can add as much detail as you like ( unline in SIM ) , you can add a picture to each contact ( unlike in SIM ) , and you have almost a unlimited number of contacts to save ( unlike in SIM ) !
    If you have previously saved two numbers for one contacts seperatly ( which would be the case because you have been saving contacts in SIM card ) , you can merge them under one contact by going to "Options" --> "Merge contacts" and selecting what numbers you wanna merge under one contact only .
    Please keep me uptodate about this issue and if you solved it or not
    Please if there is anything at all you did not understand , let me know
    Have a nice day !

  • Nokia n85 fm transmitter

    I have nokia n85,
    I did update it to version 31.002.
    fm transmitter is disappear ! and I can't found it

    There are some countries which will not allow you to have a transmitter. - Some phones was released with it in one of those countries, and then it was removed with the next update. - I don't know if this is the cause of your issue...
    I've also seen a few people with handsets claiming that they have bought it in a country whic allows transmitting, and are in a country which allows transmitting, but still the transmitter app was removed with an fw update. - In this case you should contact nokia by clicking the "contact us" tab on this page or/and contact your nearest Nokia care point to see if they can install a fw version which has it. - You find your nearest Nokia care point here: http://europe.nokia.com/support/repair-and-recycle/repair/care-points

    Same problem here with a 3500 on both Vista & XP computers. USB cables (yes I tried two different ones) & computers work fine - can transfer data no problem in data transfer mode. But in Nokia mode? Well PC suite knows the phone is there but you can't do anything with it.
    I've disabled the firewalls & there's no AV software present on either PC.
    The silence on this issue is deafening.
    Nokia 6300 here and Nokia PC Suite is on and running in tray, but can't do anything with it. When shutting down the computer it says "Nokia PC Suite Responding... " and so on. 
    This is no solution but here's a way to make backups (OS: Win):  
     Navigate to PC Suite's install folder (default C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia PC Suite 7) and find ContentCopier.exe and run it. Now just do the backups like you'd normally do.
     My version of PC Suite is Nokia_PC_Suite_7_1_26_0_fin.exe and I haven't tested any other versions. I tried to re-install, uninstall & install and repair install multiple times but still no good. I even deleted all Nokia related files from my C:/ drive and checked Nokia start-up services via msconfig.
    This has to be fixed quickly

  • How do i copy contacts from one apple id to another?

    how do I copy contacts from one apple id to another?

    I assume you mean you want to copy them from one iCloud account/ID to another.  If they're synced with iCloud go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, when prompted choose to Keep on My [iDevice], then delete the iCloud account, sign into the other iCloud account, turn Contacts back to On and when prompted choose Merge.  Note: when you delete the account it only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud.  If you then want to go back to your previous account, delete the iCloud account from your device, when prompted choose Delete From My [iDevice], sign back into your other account, turn your iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted, choose Merge.
