Palm m515 Contact List is empty!

Fired up my PC yesterday and open the Palm desktop.  First thing I noticed looking at the month of December, was that almost all my birthdays were jammed on the 31st of December as unfiled.  Huh?  Then I clicked on the contact list and it was blank............. panic!  I have my contacts in groups (personal, business, restaurants, etc).  When I click on those, I get up to and including the letter K, but no more.  When I click on 'All' it is blank.  So it seems that my data is there somewhere but the program is corrupt??.  How do I fix this?  Where do I find the file that my contacts are actually stored in so that I can save this to some safe place before unloading/downloading etc?

Palm Desktop does have a repair option for itself. If you go to Tools-->Options-->Tools and click on the check now it will look for and fix any corrupted records. I do suggest that you make a backup of your Username so if anything happens you have that to recover from.
These are the possible locations:
XP
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One\[hotsync username]
C:\Palm\[hotsync username]\backup
C:\Program Files\Handspring\[hotsync username]
[Palm Desktop 6.2 only] My Documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]
Vista
Start-->Documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]
Mac
Macintosh HD : Applications : Palm : (Palm username)
Macintosh HD : Users : (Mac username) : Documents : Palm : Users : (Palm username)

    Hello Noushin,
    It sounds like you are unable to see your contacts in the phone, but have confirmed they are still at http://www.icloud.com. I would next try these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998
    If you're using iOS 7, quit and restart the Contacts app on your iOS device:
    Press the Home button twice to see preview screens of the apps you have open.
    Find the Contacts preview screen and swipe it up and out of preview to quit the application.
    Tap the Home button to return to your Home screen.
    Wait a minute before reopening the Contacts app.
    Turn iCloud Contacts off and back on:
    Tap Settings > iCloud.
    Turn Contacts off. Choose to delete data only if your data exists at icloud.com/contacts and on one or more of your devices. Otherwise, choose Keep Data.
    Wait a few minutes before turning Contacts back on.
    Restart your iOS device by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and then swiping the screen when prompted to power off. Then turn your device back on. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • 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.

    Hi,
    We are using Jabber for Windows 9.1.0, we are surprised to see that contact list is empty. Do we need to manually add all the users? We have Presence server integrated with LDAP.

    Did you configure the contact list in IM&P so that you had them when you logged in????
    If not, yes, your contact list will be empty and you need to add the users manually.

  • How do I import my Mountain Lion Contacts list into Maverick

    I updated my Macbook Pro from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and I was able to get everything working except the contacts list.  In Mountain Lion I had my contacts listed populated but my Maverick contacts list is empty.  For some reason the updated system no longer finds the contacts list which was used in Mountain Lion but it must be on the disk somewhere.  Where do I find it and how do I get the Maverick Contact application to read OR import the Mountain Lion Contact list?  (I do have a time machine backup).

    Megan,
    Do a Mail Merge from AddressBook to a Pages Document. The User Guide has details on doing the merge.
    After you get the merged document, there will be only one contact per page, but that's easy to fix by doing a search and replace to get rid of the Section Breaks.

  • HT4910 i as no contact list in the iclud

    i have contact list in my Iphon. i made backup to Icloud. when i looking in Icloud,com the contact list are empty only my privte contact.
    what i need to solve the problem

    The problem you have now is that iCloud will not sync contacts that belong to non-iCloud accounts such as Gmail and Exchange.  If you want to sync these contacts with iCloud, you will have to copy them to the iCloud account and then turn off contacts syncing with these other accounts (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your phone).  If you want to do this, follow the following steps:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version. If you aren't sure how many you have start with the free version; it will tell you if you need the Pro version when you run it.)  Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the Gmail and Exchange accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email.  Send this email to yourself and confirm that you have received it.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap your Gmail and Exchange accounts and turn off contact syncing with these accounts.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email you sent earlier and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.  Your contacts should all now all be in iCloud and will appear on icloud.com.

  • Empty results while importing outlook contact list with PHP

    Hello. Could you help me with such problem:
    I'm always receiving an empty result while importing contact list from my outlook mail account.
    I've had successfully created live app (https://account.live.com/developers/applications). I'm using REST api (https://apis.live.net/v5.0/me/contacts?&access_token=" . $access_token) and successfully received "access_token". But in the end
    I receive empty result in such form:
    { ["data"]=> array(0) { } ["paging"]=> array(0) { } } (certainly, I have few contacts in my outlook contact list)

    Desktop Manager is not contact manager. Restore it from Backup to a HH and then sync it with contacts in Outlook at home for example. Extract contacts to PST file. Import those to new company outlook contacts and they will sync over the air with handheld.

  • Breaking News: Palm Pre loses customers contact lists and finds entertainm​ent in ignoring desperate cries for help!

    I wish the subject matter was not true , but it is. I lost all my company contacts last week and have been pleading for help from Palm for over a week, I have already written a link based on Minkas complaint. I have heard stories about bad servers ect ect through the grapevine but the bottom line is , no matter what has happened....Palm has not honored any of the 3 promises to call me back that had been arranged at a Sprint Store with the help of the employees over the speaker phone, I head the promise, the employees heard the promise and over a week later I still have not heard back from Palm. I have lost important business contacts for my labor supply, my material supply and a handfull of contacts that I can not replace because they are not in the phone book....Bottom line, Palm does not care about you or the company your run, the support is lacking and almost comical...can you believe I was told the only way to contact or make a complaint about the company is to write a blog....If somebody has an issue with my personal products they can talk to me 24 hours a day, yet Palm has no such contact or even a official form I can fill out....THE ONLY WAY TO FILE A COMPLAINT IS BY A BLOGG....and hope somebody reads about this at Palm and cares enough to call back....this company acts like they believe in witchcraft and the only way they can handle a issue is that it must be delivered to them by devine intervention....I have never complained about a product in my life, but I bought this phone to help my business and what I got was abandoned, ignored and left to rot while they continously ignore me and my situation. Here are some things you should get used to if you have a problem with Palms products..1. Wait 72 hours and a level 3 or 4 tech will call you back but they do not  2. We will escalate your problem and you will be called back in 72 hours or less but they wont.  3. No, you may not contact the CEO of the company or anybody in authority. 4. If you have a complaint u have to write a blog because nobody specializes ln complaints about service. I understand problems happen , but a company that ignores customers begging for help almost every day because it affects a companies income... the money needed to pay bills and support families....this kind of company will watch you fall over a cliff and perish without a second thought....I will never trust Palm again, they will take your money and abandon you in your most dire time of need. They have done it to me, and as of tonight at 11 pm they told me somebody will call me in 72 hours.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

        To anybody who has lost a contact list from palm my deepest sympathies go out to you. Be prepared to be ignored and dismissed by Palm. Today is Sunday November 9 and this is the 9th day I have waited for a call back from a level 3 tech but I want to share with you what happened today. I actually got a call from Palm but it was not from a tech...after pleading with the online help last night and explaining I have been ignored and need to speak to a tech person guess who called me ? It was the standard help line that you can call listed on this website...He had no clue at all how to help but promised me again (This would be promise 5 from online chat help and Im still also on promise 3 given at the Sprint store) needless to say he said that because of the serious nature of my request and the time I have waited he would talk to his manager and make sure I was contacted today...I waited and once again received no call back but what was really disturbing was he told me that the Sprint manager and the 2 employees that assisted me at the store were a bunch of liars. He told me no calls were ever made to Palm, even though we all listened on the speaker phone to the Palm representative each of the 3 times I went back to the store for help....I go to the store on greenback in citrus heights, Ca  each time they have been fantastic in trying to help me and each time they have spent 30-40 minutes trying to clear my problems up and at the end of each conversation they make Palm promise to call me back with a level 3 or 4 tech. So...today they not only lie to me again but they call the employees at Sprint a bunch of liars telling me that no records of a call back have ever been made...once again Palm continues to abandon the customer and also offer up Sprint as the sacrificial lamb. As bad as the problem is, I noticed some disturbing facts again ( I am now on my 3rd palm pre in 3 months) My problems started over a week ago when all info was lost.Once I had the drive wiped and only got 6 contacts back.I actually entered 3 new contacts on my phone by hand  ( I do use any Google or any other site ect) long story short I got a new phone on Friday the 6th of November because of constant lock up and inability to answer...when I downloaded my Palm profile it downloaded only 6 contacts again (they lost aprox 90) but it once again lost the 3 new contacts I had in my phone for 5 days ( and yes all autoback ups were on) I see more and more people are having these problems and I want to let you know that Palm does not care about you or any issues you have that require level 3 help.( Please note if you look up level 3 help at Palm its refers you to a webpage about Santa Clause....because neither exist)..you should take a deep breath, get in line and hope maybe you will be luckier than I have been...I really saw the writing on the wall when they started calling Sprint a bunch of liars....I think Palm is pulling off the biggest pyramid scheme the industry has seen in years. They got the money and now they are nowhere to be found. Here is the bottom line once again...Something is still wrong on the servers...they continue to lose contact information and they know they have a problem. I speak the truth when I say this... Palm does not care about you or your business, If your really serious about your business and your responsible for the income of employees and families you should avoid Palm at all costs. After 9 Days of Begging for help I feel like a total chump for trusting Palm and believing in this company.

  • Old contacts showing up in siri and text search results but not in contacts list.

    So what I did was this. I had mobile me, and iphone ocntacts as well as contacts on phone. After updating to IOS5, i had tripples of almost all my contacts (but not all). I converted my mobile me to icloud to discover i couldnt use that email under my new official icloud accoutn as my @me.com adress. So what i did was this. I deleted my old mobile me (now icloud account) compleatly from my phone, my iPad and my computer so there is no trace of it. I then went to my new iCloud account (that i will now use as my only icloud account. going to let the old mobile me one just die so i have 1 central spot for all my stuff).  Now all my contacts are gone. So to start fresh and just be done with the confusion, i go to www.icloud.com and manually (by hand) re type in all my contacts. I updated some info and changed some names (like nicknames and stuff like that to real names). Basiclly compleatly organizing my contacts and such to the way i want them. Getting rid of poeple i no longer talk to and such.  I did it, it syned and all was well. However now here is hte problem.
    If i go to spotlight search, or text search, or search with siri, or any type of search function, all of my old contacts are still there and viewable. All the ones i wanted to get rid of are all still there. However, if i go to contacts and look for thoes old contacts, they are not in the contact list (yes iv checked every "group" and also "all contacts" in groups).  What i want is to figure out how to get all of these old contacts compleatly deleated so they dont show up anywere on my phone. Especially with siri its making searches and auto calling more difficult because its finding two contacts sometimes that are the same person and asks me to distinguish instead of jsut calling.  CAn anybody help?
    Sorry for the wall of text, wanted to make sure to give as much info on the specifics as possible so hopefully i can get this resolved.  Is this a bug or something i did wrong? can i fix it or do i just have to wait for an update?
    P.S.
    Iv since upgraded to iphone 4S and still happening. Also this does NOT happen on my iPad. Only my iPhone.

    Talked to AppleCare for about an hour. After trying many steps: deleting contacts, re downloading from cloud, disabling Siri and re enabling, even Reset all Settings. Nothing worked. Ended up having to restore the phone via Erase All Content and Settings. That of course fixed it.
    Not sure what the issue was. I did have a Mobile Me account before the iCloud migration. For some reason, my contacts would appear in Contacts on the phone and in the cloud only once, but when using Siri it would list 2 or 3 duplicate contacts. Also after we deleted all the contacts on the phone, did an iPhone reset (Home and On/off buttons), my contacts list would show empty. Then I would click on Groups and poof all of a sudden duplicate or triplicate contacts would be in the contacts list.
    Very strange.

  • Is it possible to keep Contact List and Address Book seperate on iPhone?

    I just made the switch today- big time – from Motorola to iPhone, and from PC to iMac, plus a Macbook Air as well for travel. Thanks to iphone and Mac forums I have been able to resolve most newbie issues and have exported my data, files and contacts without problem.
    However there is one issue I have not been able to resolve or clarify:
    - My old phone contact list has now been transferred my new iPhone, consisting of about 100 phone numbers which I use regularly.
    - Address Book in my new iMac contains about 800 contacts including phone numbers, clients, etc, as well as personal bank account numbers, and other confidential data in the “Notes” field, which I need to refer to only occasionally.
    But I understand that if I sync my iPhone with my Mac, it will merge my Address Book contacts on Mac, with the phone contacts on my iPhone Contact list, into one list. Is this true? Is it not possible to maintain 2 separate Apps on my iPhone, i.e
    1. The iPhone Contact list for frequently used telephone contacts, and
    2. The Mac Address Book with more detailed notes and account numbers, which I only need to refer to occasionally?
    3. If this is possible, can I configure it so that a password is required each time the Address Book on iPhone is accessed? (I realise I can configure the iphone to require a pin when turned on), but I would like a password to access the Address App because of the confidential data. Previously I had all this data contained on a Palm Zire 72 handheld and its PC Desktop counterpart, where a password was required to access.
    From what I’ve read on the forums, it will be very cumbersome to have a phone contact list with 1000 names on it, so I want to keep phone contacts simple with phone numbers only. (I realise I can set up Group folders in Address Book, but this is not what I need). I'm also concerned about having confidential information on my iPhone which can be accessed without a password for that particular application. I intend to get MobileMe but that also does not address the issue of keeping Telephone Contacts seperate from Address Book on iPhone.
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Speculating:
    if, as already suggested, you use the Groups function to sync only the 100 contact list numbers, then how to get the expanded Address Book?
    I've not used it myself, but Bento might be worth looking into--Bento on the Mac pulls your Address Book data (I'm pretty sure) and syncs to Bento iPhone.
    I don't recall hearing about any alternate phone books, but since pretty much any program on the Mac can hook into the Address Book, you might look at the more powerful note organizers to see if any of them pull that data?
    You might have a problem getting notes added on the phone back into Address Book on the Mac, though.
    I actually right now keep my main address book in MS Entourage (similar to Outlook), and only use the Mac Address Book to sync to the iPhone. I could sync Entourage to Address Book, but I don't--haven't sorted out the data yet, and I don't really need all the same numbers in both places.
    If that sounds possible, you might look at Mark/Space and Missing Sync for iPhone---something like keeping all 800 contacts in Entourage, and syncing them all, but moving the confidential portion of each contact into Entourage Notes and syncing those via Missing Sync, perhaps might work. (I think you can link a contact to a note in Entourage)
    An interesting problem. You might also send feedback to Apple:
    http://apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    as this is really not a usage scenario they've planned for. They probably don't care, though--doesn't seem all that common.

  • I'm having contacts problems. I just updated my iPhone 4S iOS to 6.0.1. And after that, I started having Contacts problems. My contact list is disappearing automatically, and I have to Import SIM everytime, to bring the contacts back.

    It all started after updating my software to iOS 6.0.1. Contact problems, disappearing automatically, and I have to IMPORT SIM everytime when it happens, to bring my contacts back. And this is happening more when I'm using Whatsapp application. Every two hours using Whatsapp, my contact list is dissapearing, I'm seeing only numbers. I thought it was an Whatsapp problem, but after that, when I go into my Phone's contact list, I can see nothing ! Empty ! So I guess it's a software problem or something. Please help. Thank you.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Problem adding contacts to the contact list in PSE7

    I am running PSE 7 with Windows 7. I had a similar problem last February http://forums.adobe.com/thread/581476?tstart=0 trying to update the contact list. The only difference last year is a different PC and I was running XP.
    I am running into the same problem today. In summary I could enter contacts manually or import via Outlook but once I closed the contact list and reopened nothing was updated. I followed all the instructions in John Ellis’s response http://forums.adobe.com/message/2583020#2583020 but it is not working this time. I am not logged into photoshop.com. I saw a link where this fixed someone else who was having a similar problem.
    I have my preferences set to Microsoft Outlook. I am using Outlook 2003.
    Does anyone have an idea what I should try next.

    Yesterday I posted this thread. After I convinced my self that I was properly following the directions given by John Ellis I needed to start elsewhere to resolve the problem.
    What I did was found my contacts.xml file and moved it to my documents folder. I then went back to the organizer and attempted to load the additional contacts expecting the contacts folder to be empty. It was not. I loaded the new contacts using the vcard/desktop method per John’s thread. Now everything is updating and an updated contact folder is in the original location.
    Can anyone explain how the new contact folder acquired all the original contacts?
