Palm 755P Contacts Transfer to Tour

Does anyone have a way to transfer contacts from a Palm Treo 755p to a new BB Tour? Apparently the Palm Desktop software is one generation higher (6.02) than currently allowed (6.01) as I cannot get an option to show up in the Device Switch Wizard at the "Select Desktop Organizer" screen. I have tried to export from the Palm Desktop to an Excel file, and then to Outlook and that did not work either as the fields are too different and I cannot match up.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Your best choice, frankly, is to downgrade your Palm software to a supported version...see this KB:
KB05459 How to use the Switch Device Wizard to switch from another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone
Your next alternative was to do as you tried -- to map the exported data to Outlook and import to there, and then configure for tethered sync between your BB and Outlook...but you have to go through the process of mapping fields...there is no way to avoid that...and you will need to do that no matter what method you use...
You can also export (from Palm) to CSV and then import those directly into the BB:
KB11194 How to import contacts from an CSV file to the BlackBerry device
But, again, field mapping will still be necessary.
Good luck and let us know!

HelpPalm755p

Hello HelpPalm755p, Welcome to the HP Support Community! Unfortunately, phone support for these long-discontinued devices ended quite some time ago.
Can you give us some more detail on the problem? Is the corruption on a computer inside Palm Desktop, or only on the phone?
What do you mean by "getting back on the email system?" What email are/were you using?

Palm 755p not supported in Leopard?

I have been syncing my Palm 755p in Tiger using Missing Sync for some time. Then I upgraded to Leopard... Missing Sync didn't hold a connection, and the 6.0 version seems to have it's own problems, so I decided to try iSync.
The problem is that iSync won't even recognize the phone! When I try to add the device it says, "This device is not supported by iSync". But I see that others are using it with iSync in this forum. Any idea what's happening here?
I'm on a MacBook, with a 10.5.1
Brad

i had the same issue. I just did not use isync. Only certain devices are supported by isync. i have a 755p Palm. The Palm Treo 755p is not supported on the palm Tungsten and Zire families. The Pocket PC is also not supported see http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/.
You must purchase third party software from http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php from mark sync for $39.95. Then your palm Treo 755p can sync with ical and mac address book. Then you can publish your ical and address book to .mac (dotmac).
First, I installed the version of Palm that came on the CD with my phone. Then, I installed the latest version of the Palm v 4.2.1 Rev D from the website at http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421revd.html#sysreq. Then I did a hot sync to secure my information. Then I purchased and installed the missing palm sync from mark space. Then I hot synced again. I followed the instructions of letting the mac overwrite the handheld for the first sync. So after the sync i had to export my calendar and contacts from palm then import into ical and address book. Then I synced again.
Afterwards, I published to my .mac and selected update automatically. No problems ever since.
PS. I am running Leopard 10.5.1 on the new 24" imac.

Hot Syncing my Palm 755p

Why when I hot sync my Palm 755p my events, memos and address on my contacts don't come over?
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Verizon)

All I need to know is what is under contacts and calendar. To view the hotsync log right click the hotsync manager icon next to your clock in the bottom left. Then to go settings. Once there you should have a link that says view hotsync log. Click on that and look under contacts and calendar.
Also did you install wireless sync on the device?

I-cloud contact transfer

When I activated i-cloud it put all off my Facebook friends' names and contact info into my phone contact list. I now have 250 new contacts in my phone that I do not want. When I try to delete them it won't let me erase Facebook-linked contacts. Anyone know how to fix this?

Re: i-cloud contact transfer
Along the same lines as the original problem but considerably more confused. Thanks for any help or ideas anyone has.
Explanation first:
When I activated my iPhone4 (let's call it iPhone4-A), I transferred my contact list from my Palm Centro and then when trying to activate email, I somehow got my very large Yahoo! email contact list as well - both of which had groups. So I have Groups, duplicate people with differing information depending upon the source. If I fix them in the iPhone, it deletes Yahoo! email addresses and vice versa. In other words, my iPhone4-A Contacts are screwed up royally.
We have a MAC laptop, a MAC mini, his iPod Touch, my old iPod Classic and my iPhone all using the same iTunes account (so we can share music). I used this same email for my iCloud on the iPhone4-A (not knowing what I was doing).
I now need to set up a second iPhone4 (let's call it iPhone4-B) for my husband who is using a GzOne Ravine and I don't want to screw his up like I did mine. We don't do many apps or games.
QUESTIONS:
If I leave iTunes account alone on the laptop, mini, iPod Touch, iPod Classic and my iPhone4-A - I think I can use this iTunes account on his iPhone4-B and we might wind up with some app issues but we can still share music - right?
Next thought is, I should set up a new iCloud for his iPhone4-B and his contacts from his Ravine should transfer over and backup to iCloud - right?
I've cleaned up his Ravine contacts using Contact Management on VerizonWireless.com through whatever nightly backup it's been doing - they're appear to be okay and in groups.
He doesn't need email right away so if I don't turn on his Yahoo! email, he won't get the 2 contact lists merged on the phone. I THINK I'm going to set up a gmail for his iPhone, just for essential communications - because his 20 year old Yahoo! account gets a lot of stuff he doesn't need on a daily basis. I can create a contact list from his phone contacts for this gmail account & update it with only what he needs from Yahoo!

Isync with palm 755p

I had to "hard reset" my Palm 755p, which essentially erases everything. I was hopeful that all of my contacts would return to the phone because I had used isync, but that didn't happen after the initial sync. Also, my ical has never loaded to my phone during a sync. I've spent hours with the Palm people (their online chat is very helpful) but they said this is an Apple issue. Any suggestions?

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
For a number of reasons, I suggest that you ditch iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit and opt instead to use the Missing Sync for Palm OS. It is far powerful and reliable than the Apple solution.

VZ Contact Transfer will not work on Wi-Fi; Synch with iTunes sets up mail

VZ Contact Transfer goes into a loop with Verizon iPhone connected to your Wi-Fi and does not work.
Your wi-fi network will come up right after registering VZ iPhone. You could wait until later to allow it to connect.
Otherwise, disconnect router to force iPhone onto Verizon 3G network and proceed. If you click the change phone number button, it will get you a new access code to your old Verizon contacts from Verizon back up. (Back up before signing up on iPhone)
Took me hours of fooling around to learn this on another bulletin board.
Also after hours of fooling around to set up mail, synched iPhone thru iTunes to mail, calendar, etc and the email accounts set themselves up.
Hope this saves you some time
Enjoy!

I don't have an answer for you but from my experience iOS WiFi syncing has always been a hit and miss affair (more miss than hit I'm afraid). I have gotten to the stage where I rarely use the WiFi sync. It is just quicker, easier and much less stressful to use the USB cable. I am having the same issues with all the iOS devices in our family which includes various models of iPhone, iPad and an iPod Touch and have been having them since WiFi syncing was introduced (in iOS5 ???). And then I have not even mentioned my favorite iTunes syncing messages: "Waiting for items to copy" and "Waiting for changes to be applied"!
iTunes is always extremely quick and eager to pick up the devices but as soon as I click on sync it shows "Looking for iDevice" and then the device disappears. I have found that initiating the sync from the Settings app on the device prevents this issue.
It does however seem as if it is worse with Windows 7. I did not have so many issues with my previous Windows Vista PC.
Sorry I cannot be of any help.

If you lose your phone, will your unread messages, missed calls and contacts transfer

I don't know why it's such a hard question to find the answer to, but I can't figure it out. If you've lost your phone, when you get your number put on a new phone, will the:
Contacts transfer?
Will you have your un-read messages?
Will you see your missed calls?
Will you have your voicemails?
Please, someone help me out here

Contacts transfer? If you had them backed up, i.e. backup assistant, Google or iCloud.
Will you have your un-read messages? As long as they had not been delivered to your phone yet(for texts). If they had been delivered to your phone but you just hadn't read them, then no. For emails, as long as they have not been deleted from the server.
Will you see your missed calls? Don't really think so.
Will you have your voicemails? Depends on what kind of phone you had and will have. For example an iPhone utilizes a different voicemail system than any other phone(of course it does, its an Apple product) and voicemails will not transfer to/from an iPhone to any other type of device. Any other phone, they should.
Please, someone help me out here
Edit: Verizon only tries to deliver text messages for 5 days. If you have not had a phone active on your line for more than that length of time, you will start to lose some of your "un-read" messages.

Verizon Contact Transfer and sorting contacts

I used Verizon's Contact Transfer and it worked great. I've went into Settings : Mail,Contact,Calendars : Contacts Sort Order and Display Order and have set both to First,Last. Contacts are displaying by first name but are sorting by last name. I cannot get them to sort by last name.

Sorry....I cannot get them to Sort by First name

Importing Palm IIIxe Contact List from G3 Power Book

Any hints on how to export my large Palm IIIxe Contacts List from my old G3 Power Book into my Entourage Address Book in my Mac Mini Os 10.45 ?
Weedie

Greetings,
I suggest that you use Palm Desktop to get the contacts form the IIIxe, then export them as vcard or other format for import into Entourage. You can also drag and drop between Palm Desktop and Entourage.

Problems w/ Syncing Palm 755p to Exchange 2003 Server - HELP PLEASE - Sprint

Hi, I used to be able to sync but now I can't (nothing has changed on our server). Only thing different I can think of is I got an updater icon "EAS Updater" and I clicked it and now my Exchange Email stopped syncing to my palm (on my old 700p). However, I just got a new palm (755p) and still having the same problems as the 700p even though I had done numerous hard resets. I have tried doing a hard reset, then set up the Exchange ActiveSync account but still didn't work. I tried syncing my info from Palm Desktop then setting up the Exchange account, still nothing. So I don't think it's the EAS Updater but then again, I may be wrong since nothing has worked.
Weird thing is I gave the Palm Tech person my log in and password and they got onto my server fine (I know I shouldn't have but dang, I've been trying to figure this out for the last 3 wks - have changed password). They used the port 80 as incoming server and nothing under proxy settings. But I tried the same thing and got the error message below. Did it when Palm was on the phone w/ me so even they are not sure what's wrong.
AirSAMStateMachine.c 2214 6 HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2007 06:44:00 GMT Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0 MicrosoftOfficeWebS
So I figured I change the incoming server settings to see if I can get it to work that way. When I changed the incoming server setting to port 443 (automatic checks the SSL box) a different error shows (no proxy settings, since we don't use one)
SSL Error: No trusted root Update certificate authority list. AirSAMStateMachine.c 1913 14721
So I went and got the certificate installed using the instructions on the Palm site and when I synced, a different error shows up.
AirSAMStateMachine.c 1913 109
This is getting so frustrating. How is it that 2 different Palm Techs can log on using the info I give them on 2 separate dates but I can't (we are doing the same thing according to them). Palm is saying it's my phone but I just got a new one last night (755p).
Any ideas on what I should do? By the way, I am able to log onto the web so that's not the problem. I have set up my AOL and Yahoo on Versamail and they both sync fine. Exchange ActiveSync won't sync anything, not even my Calendar (even when I did it separately).
I would appreciate any help you can give me. Many Thanks.

We finally solved this problem. We thought the requirment is to have Server 2003 R2 but it turns out also that installing Exchange Server release 2 solves this problems. As soon as Exchange release 2 was ugraded, the initial sync worked and OTA Push was working just fine.

Internal error 0x0701 on Palm 755p Verizonwireless

I am recieving a internal error 0x0701 on my palm 755p. How can I fix this problem?
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Verizon)

I been trying to find out when I get this error. It look like this error has something thing to do with my wireless sync e-mail. It also happen when my battery is low or the treo can not get to the server. That means the Treo has turn off the wireless and the system is not able to sync the e-mail. Now how do I stop getting the error because the is normal low power mode or it just can get to my e-mail server.

Can't Find VZ Contact Transfer App For iPhone 5

I have been trying to transfer my contacts on to my iphone 5. The only app that comes up in the app store is Backup Assistant but Verizon says it's not supported on the iphones and to search for VZ Contact Transfer but it does not exist. All that comes up when I search is Backup Assistant. backup Assistant won't get me past the security verification code. It rejects every code every time. I love getting a new piece of equipment that proves itself to be a big *** on the most important thing like getting my contacts transferred. But hey I can play Angry Birds all freaking day long now WOW!
Any help would be appreciated before I test my insurance plan throwing this across the room.

OK so before I share my solution I need to rip Verizon for having so much mixed and bad information on their site that needs to be taken down or corrected. In their Support section they clearly clearly state Backup Assistant does not work on iPhones 4, 4S, 5 etc.. so the clearly clearly state to use VZ Contact Transfer but it does not exist in the App Store. Customer Service had no idea and absolutely could not help me. I've seen some people use Backup Assistant successfully on their iPhone 5's but I could not get it past a verification code that Customer Service could not help me on.
ANYWAY...on to solutions. If your phone supports it try synching up your phones via Bluetooth and send your address card from the old phone to the new.
In my case I ended up grabbing the MyContacts .csv file and bringing it into my computer, imported to Gmail and then using the following link to import into my iPhone.
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
Now I have my contacts and Verizon gets a big GIANT goose egg zero from me. I applaud good service as much as I let others know about bad service. I'm in a customer service related field so I understand the effects of one person with a bad experience...they tend to tell lots of people!

Why didn't my contacts transfer from my iphone 4 to my iphone 5?

why didn't my contacts transfer from my iphone 4 to my iphone 5?

I've tried both - my 4 was synched both ways. My 4 (which still has its SIM card, but no service) still has all my contacts, but I must not be "checking" the correct options when I try to sync my 5... any thoughts?
