Retrieving contacts from phone before

My friend recently COMPLETELY locked herself out of her BBM. We tried the link forgot password. But to no avail. Subsequently she is not able to access any function on the phone.
We agreed that SECURITY WIPE is the way to go.The concern is how will she retrieve her contacts which were saved on the device. Please advice how we can go about this dillema

1. Which contacts does your friend wish to save?
Her BBM contacts? BBM contacts will be connected with her BBID if she ever remembers her BBID password.
The device contacts, will not be saved if they are ONLY saved on the devivce. If your friend has ever performed a backup of her BlackBerry to her PC, or has BlackBerry Protect installed and backing up, she should be able to restore those contacts from the PC or Protect.
So, more information from you (or  her) is required for a specific answer.

2. Please resolve your thread by marking the post "Solution?" which solved it for you!
3. Install free BlackBerry Protect today for backups of contacts and data.

    I updated my iPhone onto my friend's MacBook
    Why would you do that, and not on your own computer?  See the hassle it caused you?
    can he just email me the folder
    Backup files are too big to email.  Use FTP, DropBox, etc...
    how do I then put all that data back into my current phone from the new computer?

  • I'm trying to retrieve contacts from iCloud on my new samsung but it says that there is no back up data in my account

    I'm trying to retrieve contacts from iCloud on my new samsung but it says that there is no back up data in my account

    If your contacts are on icloud.com, download them as a vCard as explained here: iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard.  Then import them to your phone as explained in your manual.  If you aren't able to, you can create a Gmail account and import the vCard to Gmail as explained here: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/183711?hl=en, then add the Gmail account to your phone and sync your contacts from Gmail.
    If they aren't on icloud.com, I'm not sure how you would access them from a backup on a Samsung, even if there was a backup.

  • How to retrieve contacts from icloud .plz help me

    If your contacts are no longer on icloud.com and you don't have another backup of them, you can try restoring them from your iPad backup by following this user tip from Winston Churchill: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

    There are apps you can dowload that will let you sync your contacts across platforms or backup and restore contacts without iTunes.  An app that will sync your contacts is Contacts Sync.  Search the app store and find an app that will meet your needs.

  • How to retrieve contacts from a previous back up?

    How can you retrieve contacts from a previous backup?

    Actually, this is correct.
    I didn't write they were not included in the backup, just why they are part of the backup.
    -> iTunes: About iOS backups
    "iTunes will back up the following information
    Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync contacts to a computer or cloud service such as iCloud to back them up).
    * Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss."

    Chances are some files are still on the drive, just marked as deleted, but not actually overwritten by new content (unless you've synced AppleTv with the new machine thta is - don't if you haven't).
    While you could apply 3rd party hacks or dismantle the AppleTv to access the hard drive partitions, in ths instance it's not going to be enough as you would need to have some decent Mac data recovery software to scan the drive and look for deleted files.
    As Winston suggests this is not something for the casual user and if the photos are very valuable consider an expert data recovery service, but it won't be cheap, and there are no guarantees you'd get anything back.

  • Retrieving contacts from PC Suite

    Hi - my phone has been destroyed, and so I cannot connect it to the PC (or anything else for that matter) anymore. PC Suite has all my contacts, but the program doesn't seem to have an option for viewing contacts without first connecting the phone. How do I get access to my own contacts without connecting the phone?

    As far as I know, you can't access the contacts within PC suite's back up files, nor can you access the callendar, notes and tasks, but you can access all other data within the back up files.You will need to connect a compatible phone to retrieve these contacts from PC suite.

  • Retrieve Contacts from Sprint Palm Pre

    I need to retrieve my contacts and data from my sprint Palm Pre.   The device took a dip in the water and I have decided on going with something different. 
    How can I retrieve all the contacts from the device and transfer to the new phone?
    Help would be much appreciated!
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I have a similar situation. Lost my Palm Pre, decided on a different (not webOS) phone, want to transfer as much info as I can.
    I saw the response saying you have to log in using a webOS phone. But what do you do next? Can you point me to a set of instructions for how to access Contacts and any other info I might be able to retrieve?

  • How to get contacts from phone to macbook air

  • Back up contact from phone to mac

    Since upgrading the OS to X, the info tab is no longer available in itunes to help me sync my contacts from my phone or mac.  Now the sync between the two are no longer working, why???

    Does anyone find the below paragraph to be true...I guess that I'm going to need to discuss with an apple person, because I am missing something.  My contacts do not stay consistant in all places. 
    You can create and edit your contacts by using the Contacts app on iCloud.com from a Mac or Windows web browser. Changes you make are automatically pushed to your iOS devices and computers where you set up iCloud for Contacts. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, changes are pushed to the Contacts app. On your Mac, changes are pushed to Contacts (or Address Book in OS X v10.7.5), and on your Windows computer, changes are pushed to Microsoft Outlook. No matter which device you use to edit your contacts, the changes are updated everywhere, so you never have to connect your iOS device to your computer to keep your contacts current.

  • Retrieving contacts from an ipod or Earthlink address book

    My hard drive melted down and I mistakenly thought I had backed some things I actually hadn't. How is it possible to retrieve my contacts from my 80G ipod? From my Earthlink address book?

    Thanks for the reply Julian, but I tried that and the only cards that show up in that "contacts" folder are the ones that come with the iPod: ipodcreatedsample.vcf and 2 others.
    I brought this to the genius bar at my local Apple store, and they couldn't figure out how to do it, so this one is definitely a challenge. The genius bar advice was: "try to find a solution online." Aaack.

  • Retrieving contacts from software without a Blackberry

    Hi
    My Blackberry contacts are backed up on the BB desktop software. My BB phone is currently in for repair and I have a replacement Nokia phone.
    Is there a way to access my backed-up contacts without a BB phone?
    Thanks
    James

    If you have a backup of the device, you can use the PC software Magic Berry from MenaStep to extract the contacts from the backup file.
