Restore contacts, calendar

I lost my Curve (8330) two days ago.
Since then, been trying to restore info onto my old 7250 (what a clunker by comparison!), which I have had activated as I had to have a phone but did not have the money to replace my Curve.
Why when I attempt restores will it not let me transfer contact info?
I got texts and messenger info to transfer over.
Cannot get email (don't need) or more importantly Contact info.
It is greyed out in the restore and says it is read only and cannot be copied (or copied to) because of wireless syncronization (which I do not use).
I cannot get the Calendar to restore either.
How can I get the calendar and contacts either to my 7250 from the backup, or at least get the info out to a spreadsheet (for the calendar)?
Thanks.

I'm gonna stretch here and tell you how this would be done on a newer device operating system, but I have absolutely no idea if this will work (the command paths) on your 7250.
Go to Options > Advanced > Service Books. Scroll to and find the Service Book listed as "[DESKTOP] Sync" and delete it.
Now reconnect to the Desktop Software and attempt the Calendar and Address Book restore. I hope this works for you, but remember that 7250 is about 7-8 years old in technology compared to what you're restoring.
For $25-50 you could get even a newer 83xx model to tide you over, from Ebay or Craig's list.

Exchange server down; restore contacts\calendar from iphone

Hello community,
i ran into a problem when helping a friend out trying to migrate his contacts\calendar entries from iphone3 to his new iphone5. We first used iTunes to back up his old iphone's data and then restored this data to the new iphone. However, his calendar entries were completely missing as were most of his contacts (not all of them). I then synced the calendar\contacts to Outlook, but got the same result: the calendar was totally empty, and most of his contacts too (however, the synchronisation process mentioned something about Exchange).
My friend is not very savyy when it comes to technical stuff and had his iPhone set up by a collegue a couple of years ago and didn't know anything about its configuration.
As i figured out the phone was indeed configured to save its calendar\contacts on an Exchange server hosted by an external company. I confirmed that when creating a new calendar entry, the phone was set to save the entry in a calendar hosted on the Exchange server. (The same thing with new contacts)
However, the problem is the Exchange server is down for a couple of years now as the external company no longer exists. Think my friend must have "clicked away" a notification about this once as i used the old phone for several hours figuring out the settings and NEVER got any notification about the phone not being able to access the Exchange server.
I searched the internet how to migrate Exchange calendar\entrys to a new phone, but all tutorials i found are based on scenarios where the Exchange server is still accessible. Does anybody know any way or 3rd party tool (the ones i tried only gave me the same result as the iTunes\Outlook approach) to retrieve the entries from the iPhone ?? Right know, i told my friend that his calendar is probably gone for good, and the he can add any missing contacts by sending the contact via Email from his old phone and then import the vcf file on his new phone (but as he has several hundred entries, this would be a very cumbersome approach).

OK, I THINK I HAVE FOUND THE FIX TO RESTORE CONTACTS, CALENDAR ETC

Try this.......takes about 2 mins
1. In itunes, top left click edit
2. when it opens click preference
3. when it opens click devices
4. this shows all your back ups
5. select the back up you want.
6. close that window
7. go to your iphone symbol on left and side and click to open
8. click restore from back up and hopefully it will work.
it says it will only work for contacts calendar etc and not change firmware.
I cannot try this as my phone is newer than my back up....different serial etc.
but if someone trys this and it works, please post that it works.

I used this information and correctly restored my contacts to my iPhone.
I was wondering if you happen to have any solutions, or what would you personally do in this situation:
After installing new software onto my iPhone, applications are visible in iTunes, I have selected the Applications to sync, and after the sync is finished, the applications are not actually on the iPhone. I have tried several times, which resulted in losing all of my applications from phone. I have troubleshooted and the most useful solution was to do with the restrictions of the App Store, although this is not the case for my scenario.
If you can find a possible solution could you please reply, or even if you cant assist, your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Jo.

Restoring Contacts & Calendars 3GS

I have not been able to restore a single contact, my calendar, my notes, four fifths of my photos despite 4 backups/restores/backups from restore, synching/merging w/google, yahoo, etc! I can see the files on my computer! I've tried seemingly everything!!! I opened a word doc, chose merge contacts, selected the file only to get the error msg: "File not found" and it's sitting in several places on my computer! I started researching converting dll files but... The guy who replaced my motherboard said, "Get an android, the iphone's crap! ... If there's anyone who can escort me out of the Twilight Zone? I'd appreciate it

Restore don't restore contact, etc on my 6233! :(

hi, can some one please help me.
I backed up my 6233 using the latest version of PC suite (everything was backed up without problem).
When i tried to restore everything back, after the nokia service centre updated the firmware on my phone from 3.9x to 4.91, it won't restore the contacts, messages, callender or bookmarks (all the important stuff), so it's completely useless, the only thing it restored is the user files which i could not care less about!
Please help me, as i NEED my contacts at the very least!!
Thank you.

Settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars screen closes immediately? I have tried Restore and all software up to date... help!, Settings Mail, Contacts, Calendars screen closes immediately? I have tried Restore and all software up to date... help!

When I go to Settings > 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' the screen closes immediately returning to the home screen? I have tried resetting the iphone - no change, I then restored the iphone completely - no change (all software up to date.) please help!

I have the same problem with iPhone4, iOS5. The only workaround i have found was to disable the contacts and calender for the iCloud account. So much for being able to sync all my Mac products. At least with Mobileme everything but my windows products synced and worked OK.

One Apple ID for iTunes...dont want to share photos/contacts/calendars....now what???

We have always just had the one Apple ID for the family....sync my iPod and the kids iPod along with my iPad. Just upgraded to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and hubby's iPhone 4....now our calendars have merged. We dont mind sharing apps but dont want to deal with each other calendars or contacts. Had to restore husbands phone once after upgrade bc iMessage was frozen on "waiting" ... how do I handle this when we all sync to same MacBook??

You'll want a separate iCloud account for each user in addition to the main Apple ID used for purchases.
Let's say you have a family of four (husband, wife, and two children). Here is what you will need:
Main Apple ID for shared purchases in Tunes (everybody will be using this)
iCloud (Apple ID) account for husband
iCloud (Apple ID) account for wife
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 1
iCloud (Apple ID) account for child 2
Yes, you can have both an Apple ID and iCloud account setup on the same device.
On each iOS device, setup the main Apple ID account for the following services:
iCloud (Photo Stream and Backup are the only items selected here).
Music Home Sharing
Video Home Sharing
Photo Stream
Additionally, on each iOS device, add a new iCloud account (Under Mail, Contacts, Calendar) that is unique to each user for the following services:
Mail (if using @me.com)
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Bookmarks
Notes
Find My iPhone
Messages
Find Friends
FaceTime
On your individual Macs (or Mac accounts), use the main Apple ID in iTunes. Then, use the unique iCloud account in/for iCloud.
Now that everbody is using separate iCloud accounts for your contacts, calendars, and other things, it will be all be kept separate.
The only thing that is now 'shared' would be iTunes content (apps and other purchases), backups via iCloud (if enabled), and Photo Stream (if enabled).

Have you attempted a restore?

One Apple ID, two iPhones, same iCloud. How do I get rid of this without losing contacts, calendars etc?

Hi there, hope someone can help.
My mum upgraded about 18 months ago to an iphone 5 and to set it up we used my Apple ID as it was linked to my dads bank card. Had absolutely no problems with this, everything has maintained separate.
However when my mum decided to update to ios7 (and as she is a novice has not backed her phone up since upgrading) At first it appeared that when she updated she had lost all her contacts, calendars etc but this was restored through iCloud.
Now our phones appear completely linked. Eg when I receive a FaceTime call it goes to my mums phone as well.
So is there any way of splitting our iCloud account without having to lose all our data? Especially as my mum has months worth of business meetings. To make it worse we currently live the other side of the country from each other, so going to the Genius Bar seems rather pointless!

IPod Nano 3rd Gen. Problems [Rebooting, Won't Sync Contact/Calendar Data]

I have noticed that my iPod nano will reboot itself after it has been syncing/charging. It reboots when I go to the last playlist that was playing before I began to sync/charge it. Also, it would randomly reboots when I am selection a playlist.
Then, it won't sync my contact/calendar data if it nearly full. But I can sync them when it is nearly empty.
What is causing the problem and how can I fix it?

if you have done restores then possibly it is a firmware issue... i would take it to the apple store if you can to get it looked at...

Mail contacts calendars option freezes in settings list

For no reason whatsoever, my Exchange Server mail stopped syncing with my iPad2 yesterday. When I go to Settings, "Mail Contacts Calendars", the line highlights but then just freezes right there and I can never get into those settings (eventually the iPad just takes me back the home screen). I did a soft reset, then a hard reset with restore (same problem), and now I am doing a hard reset with no restore (basically wiping the unit clean, which is such a pain in the a$$ to get all of my apps back into the appropriate folders that I've created). Any reason why this happened? Any way to fix it in the future? I have an iPhone 3GS and the mail was still working fine with it. No changes were made on the server or on the iPad2 (I own the company and know that no one did any changes yesterday). It happened just out of the blue. Thoughts? Thanks.

I have been experiencing some major sync/push problems with mail, contacts and calendar between my Mac, iphone and ipad for over a month now. The problems are still being investigated by Apples technicians.
However, a couple of days ago I set up a new iCloud account, whilst my original one is currently being investigated and is practically useless.
The new iCloud account works fine. All devices sync properly and I can create, edit and delete entries from all devices.
This is clearly an iCloud issue. I was initially suspected of causing the problem. I am now in the clear. If your email is of no consequence I suggest setting up a new iCloud account. Mine is important so I am waiting for Apple to reset my original iCloud account so that I can use it again.
Since setting up the new account my ipad works fine and no longer freezes in settings.
Result. Hope it works for you.

KB2687455 (SP2 for Office 2010) Breaks Outlook Searches of Shared Contacts/Calendars

Hello, everyone! I would love to know if anyone else is experiencing these issues.
I am an IT Network Technician for several clients that have had issues searching in shared contacts and/or calendars in Outlook 2010. These users are using Office 2010 in Citrix/Remote Desktop Services environments. When these servers automatically
download and install KB2687455, the users can no longer perform searches in shared contacts/calendars. They receive an error stating, "The requested Upon removing this update, and having the user close and re-open Outlook, the search functionality is
restored. Surprisingly, a reboot is not required to restore searching.
Is Microsoft aware of this issue? If so, what is being done to correct it? If not, is anyone else experiencing similar symptoms?
Our firm has already observed similar failure of the search functionality in Outlook 2010 due to the installation of another Windows Update, KB2956128. The issues with that update are already well-documented, based on a preliminary Google search,
and we have blocked the installation of that update, where possible, until we are informed of a fix for it from Microsoft. Any information on the repair of that update would also be much appreciated.

Hi,
Both KB2956128 and KB2956203 seem to cause this issue to some of our users, as you mentioned KB2956128, have you checked KB2956203? If you have installed this KB, uninstall it to check the result.
If it is KB2956203, we have been aware of some issues caused by the recent updates, and would like to collect more information for further investigation.
Can you guys share your detailed system info? Also, if you have any log files about the issue, kindly share with us by sending them to this email account:
[email protected] (please use the link of this thread as the subject).
We appreciate your assistance with this.

Contacts Calendars Bookmarks Find My iPhone toggle buttons won't switch on

I have a new iPhone 3GS, but under Settings - Mail Contacts Calendars - My .Mac account, I cannot get the toggle buttons for Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks and more importantly Find My iPhone, to switch to 'ON'. Mail however is 'ON'. When I click them to 'on' they just immediately turn themselves off again. This means that my iPhone does not show up in my .Mac/MobileMe account and therefore Find My iPhone will not work.
As far as I can see everything is set up correctly. I've looked through posts here, read Apple's suggestions, but none of these will switch to 'On'.
Fetch New Data is set to Push. Fetch is set to every hour. Location services are On.
In iTunes, Mail Contacts Calendars Bookmarks are all set to sync.
Under Account Info for my .Mac/Mobile Me account I am still using the older .Mac settings as I still prefer my [email protected] email address - could this have anything to do with the problem? Should I try deleting the account manually and re-adding it manually with the new Mobile Me settings?
When I set up my iPhone 3GS I used the backup of my old 1st Generation iPhone to set up the new phone in iTunes. The settings above wouldn't toggle on the old phone either, so I wonder if I have inadvertantly brought a bug across by restoring from the old phone backup?
Really puzzled now. Has anyone come up with a solution or is it a problem at Apple's end?

OK, solved my own problem! For anyone else having the same sort of problem, all I did was to manually delete my .Mac/MobileMe email account on my iPhone completely, shut down the iPhone completely, switch it on again, and manually add my .Mac/Mobile Me account back on the phone - this time using my address as [email protected], forcing it to use the me.com servers instad of my older .Mac servers.
Instantly I was able to toggle the buttons and switch on Find My iPhone, which is now showing up online in my .Mac account.
Now I've just got work out how to change my outgoing email address back again to [email protected] because I HATE @me.com! It's a horrible email address, and sounds really self-important.

3GS Sync Causing Double Sets of Contacts & Calendars?

I activated my 3GS this morning. I restored from my last backup. Then when it was up and running in did a sync w/ Mobile Me - now I have 'on my iphone' and 'on my mac (mobileme)' in both calendar and contacts - how do i get rid of the 'on my iphone' sets?!?! ie when I go to 'all contacts' or 'all calendars' I don't have to look at duplicates of everything and when add or edit something I know it's going to the 'cloud' and not to t he 'on my iphone' part...

ciphoto,
Open "Settings" on the iPhone>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks>Accounts>your MobileMe account and turn off Contacts, when prompted delete data, and wait two minutes, then turn Contacts back on. When asked merge the data, make that choice, and wait patiently. You should no longer have duplicates. If you are able, I recommend using a Wi-Fi connection to make the change.
;~)
