Personal contacts display as unknown

Hi, I just purchased the new blacberry flip , im slowly trying to figure out certain issues that I have with the phone, most have been resolved except for an issue with my personal contacts. All of my contacts saved in my personal phone directory display as unknown caller, I've contacted my service provider, BB technical support, and I've been searching all over for a solution to this problem. No one seems to know why, Im still waiting for BB technical support to call me back, because he couldnt find a solution over the phone. Is there anyone that can help me with this problem, or is this a glitch with the new phone that may need to be addressed? Please help if anyone has any info!
Thanx,

Oh, they are very smart. It is often the user or the settings you might have enabled, or sumtin.
Try this: With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.

Why is the validity of my digitally signed document displayed as unknown?

What exactly do I have to do under Preferences-Windows Integration?

Hi amyemia,
The signer's identity is unknown because it has not been included in the list of trusted identities and none or its parent certificates are trusted identities" indicates your recipients needs to add something to their copy of Acrobat/Reader. What the recipient of the document is missing is a certificate and only you can provide him with a copy of the certificate you created to sign the PDF. After you send him or make available a copy of the certificate, then he will need to import that certificate into his copy of Acrobat
Please refer : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/validity-digital-signature-displayed-unknown.html
If you want your PDF signature to be valid on your / co-worker's computer, you need to supply them with your Public certificate. To do this you need to export it out as an .fdf file, if in Acrobat X, choose Edit – Protection – Security Settings, select your ID that you used to sign the PDF with and choose Export, you can then either save it to disk, or directly email your certificate, get your co-worker to double click it in Adobe Reader and follow the prompt, when you see Set Contact Trust, select it and check Use Certificate as Trusted Root. Then click OK. Now open the PDF and it should now be valid.

Unable to open personal contact list Outlook 2010

Error when opening a personal contact list. To my knowledge it has not been edited in a newer version of Outlook as we all use Outlook 2010. Even tried restoring from 6 month old backup when it was supposed to have worked. Any ideas how
to get past this?
Error:
this contact group has been edited with a newer version of outlook and contains too many members to display.

Well. Does the DL have more than 5000 contacts in it? If so, that may cause a problem due to Exchange's 5000 recipient limit for sent emails.
Where is personal distrubution list stored in your scenario? Stored in OST and sync with mailbox, or backup in the local PST file?
If other contact groups and contacts can be opened just fine, it seems the issue may occur if the problematic contact groups is corrupted itself.
You can take a chance to open it via MFCMAPI tool. If it even cannot be open, I think it cannot be recovered unless we do a single mailbox recovery.

How can I prevent personal contacts from syncing with Exchange corporate email?

I have my phone synching with my work Exchange server over ActiveSync, and have 2 personal email accounts (POP and IMAP). The 2 personal accounts are also configured in Outlook 2010 on my home computer. Itunes is also installed on this computer.
I want my contacts from my 2 personal accounts to sync to my phone (which is working), but not have them sync to my work account (this part is not working the way I want). I now have all my personal contacts uploaded to my work account. How can I remove the contacts from my work account without removing them from my phone?

Unless you are in the same household, the agreement for Mountain Lion does not allow the setup you have now.
You need to spend another US$30 and buy an additional copy and get that other MacBook on its own unique Apple_ID.

Personal contacts end up in my Outlook contacts

Hi all..
Background:
- I have access to my work email (Outlook) through my iPhone, including my calendar and contacts..
- In my phone contacts the groups I have are "All contacts", "From my PC (All from my PC)", "Work (All work; Contacts; and Suggested Contacts)" and "work global address list"
Problem:
- I have just noticed that personal contacts that have recently been entered into my iPhone are appearing in my Outlook contacts list (on my PC)
- These new contacts from my phone are in the "Work (All work) and Work (All contacts)" groups, as well as "all contacts"
- If I delete the contact from my contacts list in Outlook (on my PC), it is completely removed from my phone
- BUT, if I re-enter the contact on my phone, through "All contacts", it appears back in my "work" group and back in Outlook on my PC.
My questions:
- How can I prevent my personal contacts going into the work contact group on my phone and in Outlook on my PC?
- I still want my work contacts on my phone, just separate, and I do not want my personal contacts ending up in my outlook on the PC
Cheers =)

Is anyone able to assist???

Work contacts vs. personal contacts

I am considering the purchase of an IPHONE but I have to work out some of the issues before I dive in. I was wondering if someone knows if you can keep your work contact lists separate from your personal contacts?
My other question - If I say -- enter the name Bob Smith, and his specialty... or any other info about Bob... can I search for Bob, using his name or his specialty or another piece of info that I may have entered?
Jackie63

Hi Jackie63,
To answer your first question, No, you cannot distinguish multiple contact lists. As of now, the phone only supports one list of all your contacts.
However (and I believe this answers your second question)with the knew 2.0 release, a search bar was applied at the top of contacts list under the 'Phone' icon and also to the 'Contacts' icon that was applied to the main screen. This search bar allows you to search for any information you may have put for "Bob Smith" such as his name, Company, Address, telephone number (although thats rather redundant), etc.
Hope this helps

Separate business and personal contacts/calendar on Exchange enabled phone?

I'm a new iPhone user (3gsi) with Exchange support enabled. What I would like to do is manage my business and personal contacts and calendar separately with work items syncing with Exchange and personal items with something else (like Google Calendar/Contacts). Is it possible to separate this way and possibly even manage it all together using the existing calendar and contact apps? I am not interested in the MobileMe service.
Example - I add a personal contact and I dont want it to sync with Exchange, but Google contacts would be nice. Or I add a calendar item that I want to sync with Google calendar instead of Exchange.
Thx!

With an Exchange account syncing business contacts and calendar events over the air, you can also sync personal contacts and calender events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process. You can view business and personal contacts and calendar events combined or separately on the iPhone.
With Windows, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007. With a Mac, this can be with the Address Book and iCal.
Or you can sync personal contacts and calendar events over the air with a MobileMe account while doing the same for business contacts and calendar events with an Exchange account.
You can access a Gmail account as an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the iPhone's Mail client, which provides for syncing personal contacts and calendar events over the air, but you can't access two Exchange accounts via ActiveSync with the iPhone's Mail client. This is not supported with ActiveSync with a Windows Mobile device either.

Keeping Business and Personal Contacts Separate?

I have a MS Exchange account at work and use Entourage for my personal contacts on my home computer.
Would it be possible to have both sets of info sync to my phone? I know the iphone has active sync for the Exchange data but then, would it be possible to sync with my home computer without having them then uploaded to my company's exchange server next time activesync connects?
I imagine a lot of people would want to do something like this??

Has anyone had a problem with their contact display on messages?

I have turned off other contact groups, but when texting I get all groups displayed when I search for names. Not only this, some of them seem to have downloaded name info from sender! I also now get some email contacts displayed in text name line. Very odd! Never had this problem before update.
I can't seem to find a way to switch this off. Somehow seems to be an iCloud mess up.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit, IE8, Dreamweaver CS4 and all is fine and identical to how it was under Vista 64.
So whatever the issue is, it's probably resolvable.

HT4623 person contact image does not appear while on a call,why?

person contact image does not appear while on a call,why?

when you say "Re-upload the image", do you mean reinsert it, or re-link it?
Neither.
Re-upload it to the web server from your local hard drive. In DW, click on the image file in the Files panel then click the Up arrow to Put the image to the server.
If that does not work, do as Nancy suggests and re-create the image in your image editor then re-upload.

Will I lose my personal contacts if I add an Exchange/Active Sync account?

I read that if I configure my business Exchange account via active sync I will lose my personal contacts on the phone. True?

i set mine up for Exchange today and when I went to turn on Contacts it warned me this it would replace all my contacts with the ones from Exchange. Since I have all of my Personal contacts in a group on Exchange/Outlook anyway it was Ok for me. Once you are setup to sync with Exchange and Contacts it no longer sync with the Contacts on your computer.
What worked out well for me was I was just testing the Exchange piece so I later turned off Contact synching and it erased all of the Contacts on my Touch. Then, the next time I synched with my computer I had the option to sync Contacts again from the computer and that put me back to the way I was before playing with the Exchange piece.

Separating business and personal contacts

I recently moved to a BlackBerry Curve from a Palm Treo. Our company used to use Goodlink to sync data from Outlook to my device. In order to keep my personal contact information private I created a separate contacts folder in Outlook which did not sync with my company's servers. I then used PocketMirror to sync the extra file to the phone. It wasn't the cleanest solution as I had business contacts in Goodlink and personal contacts in the phone's contact file, but it worked.
I want to keep my personal contact information off of my company's server. Is there any way to do this with the Curve?
