Question on contacts through outlook

All,
I am a first time user of blackberry, so please forgive my ignorance.  I have a 8830 through Verizon.  Our company has a blackberry server with outlook exchange integration.
In my outlook I have several different folders of contact names.  The main folder has my important contacts and the others have older contacts that I like to keep track of.  Of course, right now my blackberry synch's all my contacts.  I would prefer to only synch the important group.  I know with my Treo I was able to specify to synch only contacts that were in a certain category (I had created a category called Treo and only those contacts with Treo as the category were sent to my unit).  This does not seem possible with the BB.  I know there is a filter setting in the BB, but it really does not work the way I would like.  Consider voice dialing.  Even though the contacts are filtered, voice dialing will still search through all contacts loaded.
Is there anyway to resolve this?
TIA
Mike 

Do you still have that old SIM? I hope so. If you do, take it back to your AT&T store WITH your iPhone and ask them to do it for you. They can do it two ways: 1) Take your SIM to the back and put all your contacts on a thumb drive that you can take home and sync yourself, or 2) I assure you the CAN take the SIM and your iPhone to the back and do the magic themselves. It may take anywhere up to 15 minutes or so depending on how many contacts you have, but the CAN do it FOR YOU in the store, no matter what they say. I know that from experience. They may not want to take the time, but it really doesn't take long.
Bottom line - just take it back and ask them to do it again. It was probably a fluke that it didn't work.

  • How can I restore the contacts of outlook?

    Very stupid happened. Edited all my contacts through outlook. On their phone removed to immediately burn through recent outlook. Connect your phone to WM (I have Vista, and I can't use ActivSync ), and WM synchronizes contacts so that they aren't only
    copied on the phone, and remove them from outlook. 
    Can I do backup outlook? 
    How can I restore the contacts and is it possible?

    You're that to far gone with it, try to restore the backup to your phone. 
    Rolled back to the last restore point synchronization.
    Or using software, Outlook Backup Toolbox 
    He is able to: 
    1) Restore accounts Microsoft Outlook (with password)

    Thanks

    Hi randers4.   Already have.  I have two (2) gmail addresses - only one of which I run through Outlook.  Both are set up in GMail  on the iPhone under Settings but Contacts and Calendars are only set up to synch on the account that goes thru Outlook.  My email from both merge OK on the iPhone but Contacts and Calendars from Outlook doesn't come over and its the only one i have the Settings turned on for Contacts,Calendars and Notes.

  • I am trying to load my contacts from outlook but not getting through

    I am unable to load my list of contact from outlook unto my iphone 5s

    What method of syncing contacts are you trying?  Are you using iTunes to sync Contacts?  Are you using iCloud Control Panel to link Outlook to iCloud, and then syncing Contacts from iCloud to your iPhone?

  • I cannot backup my contacts on outlook through itunes

    I could backup it easily and itunes updates all contacts on outlook, but I don't know why it does not update contacts on outlook

    If you have backups on both icloud and on your computer, then do a restore from either source.  If the phone is new, connect it to iTunes, it should offer you the choice to restore from computer or from icloud.
    Note: 
    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

  • When connecting SharePoint Foundation 2013 contacts to Outlook 2013 in Outlook it is read only.

    Hello.
    When I connect Sharepoint 2013 Calendars and Contacts to Outlook 2013 I receive the message " You cannot make changes to contents of this read-only folder" if I try to insert a new contact or a new appointment in SharePoint through Outlook (in
    Account Settings of Outlook, in the SharePoint tab I have "Server version=Not available" and "Permissions=Read Only").
    The same users, through the SharePoint web page, insert a new contact or a new appointment.

  • How to Control the Sorting Order of iPhone Contacts from Outlook?

    In a series of editing steps we've loaded ca. 1,900 personal and business contacts from Outlook into a 1st gen iPhone with 2.0.1 software on it. To our surprise we found that while most of the entries were listed and sorted by company, certain entries were listed and sorted by the person's name. It looked random and there didn't seem to be any way to control it on the iPhone.
    While troubleshooting the problem we synced up the iPhone with an empty Address Book on a MacBook Pro and found that the sort order flag was indeed set differently on these entries. When we changed the sorting flag of a contact in the Mac's Address Book to "Company" it also changed on the iPhone after the next sync.
    Problem: In our business environment it is impossible to switch to Macs for contact administration. We need to do it from Outlook. This is one of several features needed for the adoption of iPhones.
    Question: Is there a way to control this flag on the individual iPhone contact entries from Outlook Contacts?

    Well, I think we figured it out.
    Outlook doesn't offer a sorting flag on person or company name. Instead it uses a separate "File As" string. The problem with our contacts was that this "File As" string was frequently edited to be something else than exactly the personal or company name, e.g. it was set to an abbreviated company name. Once we set the "File As" to any of the defaults offered, i.e. person or company name, the sorting flag in iPhone was properly set through the synchronization.
    Obviously, the application logic compares the content of these fields in Outlook and decides how to set the flag. If it can't find the company name in "File As" it defaults to person.
    This was an expensive holdup for us. It cost us 2 man days to figure it out. Is there any place where such application logic is described?

  • Exporting selected contacts from Outlook 2011 for Mac

    I've wanted to easily export a set of selected contacts from Outlook in Microsoft Office for Mac 2011.  I've been through many threads about synching to Address Book and then exporting, but I've found a host of troubles, including duplicate copies of contacts being created.
    So, I finally broke down and wrote an AppleScript script to export all of the currently selected contacts from Outlook to a file in either vcf (vcard) or csv (comma separated value) format.  The best use of this script is to:
    -- Install this as a script in Microsoft Outlook by saving the script below to Documents>Microsoft User Data>Outlook Script Menu Items
    -- Change to your Contacts in Outlook.  Use the Outlook search bar to find the contacts you want to export.  You might search by name, category, company, or anything else that identifies the contacts you want to export.  Or, you might just leave the view showing all contacts.
    -- Select the contacts you want to export
    -- Launch the script
    The script will have you select between vcard and csv and select a destination file.  This hasn't been optimized for speed, so if you're exporting 100's or 1,000's of contacts, be patient.  And there isn't a progress bar at present, so you have to wait.  It will display an alert when it's complete.
    Sorry not to have a download location for you.  You'll just have to copy the script text :-).  Keep in mind there's been some but limited testing.  Read the comments for details.  And enjoy.

  • Sync'ing contacts with Outlook no longer works

    Ipod Nano 4gb with latest iTunes 7.02.16. Problem was also present on previous version of iTunes.
    At one time, for a while after I bought my iPod nano, I could sync my Outlook contacts. It used to popup a message in Outlook asking for permission and I would say, yes, 10 minutes or whatever.
    Now iTunes just keeps saying "Cannot sync contacts with Outlook, try closing all instances of Outlook and restarting" but that suggestion does not solve the problem.
    Anybody know how to fix this?

    You should probably post your question in the iTunes or iPod discussions

  • How can I sync the contacts from outlook on my macbook pro with my iPhone

    My iPhone 5 is backing up on iCloud and my music, etc is syncing through iTunes (11.4) on my MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3 but my calendar and contacts from Outlook 2011 are not syncing.  Does anyone know which settings I may need to change?  I have updated my operating system to OS X 10.9.4 and iTunes.

    You'll need to find a way to export your Outlook contacts and calendar to Apple's Contacts and Calendar applications. There are some paid software apps that can do this but I don't know of any free way other than exporting each event/contact individually. Outlook 2011, when it first came out, synced well with iCal and Address Book (or whatever it was called) but that's no longer the case... maybe when Office for Mac 2014 comes out?
    Sorry that I don't have an answer to what seems to be a common problem.

  • Trying to link Address Book Contacts with Outlook 2011 - iSync??

    Hi There,
    Would be grateful for some assistance.
    I've got all my contacts and other things in iCloud - wonderful!
    I've managed to get all my contacts from iCloud to show up in Address book.
    I want to sync my address book contacts in Outlook 2011 - after three days of trying I'm still stuck.
    I've checked the Syncing set up in Outlook, that appears to be correct.
    I've checked addressbook, and other than having two folders one entitles iCloud (which has everything I need in it) and one entitled On my Mac, which has a couple of testers in it but nothing else, everything else seems fine.
    I've checked that iCloud is synching into the iCloud folder in Address Book by putting some stuff on my iPhone and seeing it got pushed from the iCloud to my MacBook - all working fine there.
    I have read lots of forum posts and keep seeing references to iSync, and how its on all Mac's but then I see people saying that its not on with Lion - I'm running Lion, and I can't find iSync...so this would seem to be true.
    Can anyone tell me how I might achieve this sync process - I would much rather be using an integrated programme like Outlook...any thoughts

    Enthusiast: I just got back from the Apple Store. This is the solution they suggested and seems to work. We got rid of iCloud contacts. We just set up Yahoo account in the "mail, contacts, calendars" of the iPhone. Under the "contacts" section we have the "default Account" set to Yahoo. When any additions/delete/mods happen then it is updated on Yahoo.
    On the MacBook we deleted the "on My Computer" and deleted "iCloud" and then added the Yahoo account for synching. This is basically used as a secondary backup for the yahoo contact and used if using the computer. It is not necessary to use the computer for any of this.
    I've been having lots of problems with Yahoo contacts. I had previously pulled in facebook contacts. This was NOT a good idea. I cleaned up my contacts, exported them out to CSV. Scrubbed some more. Imported them to a new yahoo account. Then deleted all contacts from my main Yahoo, permanently deleting them. Then imported my contacts. I did lose all my "lists" settings. That was a small price to pay.
    Now iPhone, iPad and MacBook address book and Yahoo are all in sync.
    I was shown at the store is to refresh the Yahoo webpage (CTRL R) and then refresh the contacts on the iPhone. There is a slight delay in update. iCloud is faster at it. But its best to avoid iCloud if you are using Yahoo contacts. Also avoid Facebook contacts. If you really want to use the Facebook feature, I would do it on a different account and then bring in the contacts that you want through an import.
    I was having problems with Yahoo contacts and it might be that it was being flaky or they were experiencing problems ... because all of a sudden it started working again. I've seen similar problems with Yahoo Calendar.

  • Problems with compressed words in emails sent through Outlook in Office for Mac 2011

    I have had problems with sending emails through Outlook both when:
    1) I copied text from a Word document and pasted into an email.
    2) I shared as HTML and sent an email.
    The problem I experience is that emails are received with random spaces dropped, such that words get merged together.
    I have spoken with Microsoft and have been told that problems with the copy and paste from Word into Outlook is a known issue.
    However, I have been told that I should be able to "Share as an HTML" in an email without issue. However, the very same problem exists.
    Now I am told that this may be a problem with my documents. However, I have had a colleague use my docs in the same way in Outlook on his PC without a problem. The other possibility I am told is that possibly I have a problem with my OS.
    Have others expererienced the same problem?

    Is your Outlook window formatted as HTML or text only? A word file has formatted text. If you want to copy only the text from your Word file, you should make a detour over a TextEdit window, or if you have BBEdit like follows:
    Copy your Word text, paste it into a TextEdit window - in this window you have to make a command first SHIFT + COMMAND + T if you have a window allowing formatting ("rich text"). Copy it once again - all the Meta formatting from Word are eliminated now! - and paste the text into your Outlook Window.
    If you want to send an HMTL Email, I am not sure, whether a copy and paste between Word and Outlook will work. This would mean, that the copy and paste should transform the Word-formatting into HTML-formatting fit for Outlook. Perhaps some others could answer this question.

  • N95 Contacts in Outlook Express

    Hi,
          I've recently purchased an N95 and I remember on an older Nokia phone that I had and when I saved my contacts from my phone to my PC that all the names and numbers were saved in a viewable form in Outlook.
    Now I only have Outlook Express available and even though i synch my contacts through OVI Suite,when I go into the Outlook Express address book , there aren't any contacts viewable to me!!!
    I understand that syncing may only involve the contacts that i just have in Outlook Express I think?
    What I'm trying to do anyways is to get all my contacts of the N95 onto some windows program that lets me view them!!!
    Will Outlook Express do this somehow?  or any other program unknown to me?
    Hope somebody out there can help me!!!!!!!
    Thanks....... : )
     Sean.......   : )

    Hi,
    If I open up Nokia PC Suite and choose 'Syncronisation', the option exists there to sync with the Windows Address Book (which is what OE actually uses).
    It appears explicitly as Outlook Express (Windows Address Book)
    I don't use it, as I use ActiveSync to sync with my exchange server, so use at your own risk, but if you backup your phone data and your Windows Address Book (WAB) before trying it, you could always restore if it fails. 
    HTH,
    Alan. 

  • Syncing contacts with outlook

    I finally have my first issue. My iPhone 4 simply won't sync with outlook. I've tried changing it to windows and back to outlook, but nothing works. I'm glad I had saved my contacts through funambol or I'd be screwed. Anyone have a clue what could be going on??? I could easily sync with the 3G and 3GS with no issues, but it's not working with the new phone.

    Thanks, but I'm familiar with these steps. Outlook was syncing with my 3GS with no problems, but it's an issue with the new iPhone 4. Very strange!!!
