It was fine with my C3 nokia phone.
Remind: in gmail contact you can import csv or vcard file. And moreover, you can also export to backup (or whatever) your contacts.

Hey Guys:
Got a c3 last week when my bb went if for repairs (I am a contractor and even with a otter box it got wet!! Go figure we live in the pacific northwest!!)
Anyways thank you to whoever posted this tip.  Sounds like it is working for everyone except me!!
Heres the deal:
-I have tried 3 times
-first time sync went to 71%
-2nd and 3rd time sync went to 92%
Suggestions??  
I am going to check out gmail some more.  Also watchtower or something (BB backup security software thing).  It sucks I lost 500+ business contracts but should have back in a week or so once rogers repairs.
Cheers,
Tristan in Whistler

  • Syncronize groups of contacts with gmail

    There's a way to syncronize groups of contacts with gmail ?
    I can syncronize only my contacts but syncronizing groups seems impossible ....

    It would be beneficial to be able to make groups within your contacts for group messaging I believe
    You can make contact groups through iCloud. Keep in mind, however, that the Messages app only supports up to 10 recipients at a time. If you do a lot of group messaging, you may want to look at a dedicated group messaging such as GroupMe. It's cross platform and handles group messaging much better than the native client.

  • What do you do when your contacts with IPHONES or IPADS are not showing up in blue in IMESSAGE on my IPAD. The are showing up in RED and not allowing me to IMESSAGE them at all.

    It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did. 
    Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
    I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

  • Can't sync my local contact with gmail, help please.

    Hi all,
    I originally had my contact on BB Bold, then when i bought Z10 i transferred the contact using bb Link, now i have another phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) and i want my contact to by synced between both using gmail, so i configured my gmail on both devices, the configuration is 100% correct because in Z10 if i open Contacts then select Gmail category, and create a new contact i find it after a while in my Samsung,
    but the problem is all my contacts available in the (All) which i believe its saved locally
    Best Regards,
    Alaa Bayer.

    Thanks alot elessar,
    The problem that i moved my contact from my bold to Z10 using Link, and my contacts was saved localy in the Bold and the same in Z10, so i never used Gmail or so what ever to sync the contacts.
    but now to transfer my contacts from Z10 to Samsung Galaxy S4 i wanted to sync these local contacts with Gmail, but when i configured Gmail on Z10 it creates like a different container which is ofcourse empty, so if i go to All, i see my contacts, but if i go to Gmail contacts i have nothing.
    if i create a new contact in Gmail container it copied immidetly to the Samsung so sync and configurations is OK.
    So my problem  to move the contacts on my Z10 from Local container to Gmail container.
    actully after alooooot of searches i found a solution and it worked perfectly, i installed on my Z10 a software name (IntouchApp) which can see the local container on Z10 and sync them to IntouchApp servers then install the same softwar in my Galaxy and sync the contacts, then on the galaxy i exported the contacts to SD Card, then import it to Gmail, and finally i got my contacts on Gmail.
    i don't know why Blackberry completly separate the contacts as containers and there is no option to transfer from one to another.
    in any way i just sold out my Z10 yesterday and bye bye blackberry for every.

  • How do i synchronize icloud contacts with gmail?  The sys made me set up a gmail acct and I manage to get my contacts from blackberry.  your import did phone only.  I need the google data

    When setting up my iphone the store could import my phone numbers only.  They then showed me how to sync with Icloud. To complete the setup of icloud I had to create a gmail account.  I was finally able to get my complete address book from my blackberry to gmail.  Why can't icloud now sychornize gmail with icloud and the iphone?

    If your contacts are all in your Gmail account, set up your Gmail as an Exchange account on your iPhone and it will bring over all of your contacts:

  • Sync iPhone contacts with Gmail contacts whille having Outlook contacts

    Hi,
    I am currently syncing my iPhone's contacts with itunes ->Outlook.
    Which means that all my contacts being saved on my Outlook account.
    I also have many people/contacts on my Gmail accound that I wish to get in to my iPhone.
    BUT:
    The problem is that I am afraid to sync and get many many duplicates.
    There is a way to merge both without making a MASS?
    Plus:
    It could be really nice to have all the contacts from my iPhone backed up on my Gmail account.
    Thanks!!

    Do you want to sync with Outlook.com or Windows PC Outlook? I'm guessing the latter since it sounds like you prefer to protect your privacy by not synching with the cloud. Try http://www.akruto.com. I've been using it with my iPhone and iPad without any problems. Website doesn't mention iOS, but I found out from a friend that it works with iOS and it does.

  • Sycnchonising contacts with Gmail

    Is it possible to synchronise contact information between Address, Google Mail contacts and an iPod touch?
    There appears to be a mechanism for setting this up in Address preferences and in iPod touch settings.
    However, it just does not happen.
    Is there is something I am missing?
    Any ideas out there?

    Hi Ilia,
    Take a look at the article below, it will walk you through syncing the Contacts app on your Mac with Google Contacts.
    Contacts: Sync contacts with Google Contacts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11563
    You can sync contacts in your On My Mac account with Google Contacts.
    Important: If you’re syncing contacts with Google Contacts and you add an iCloud account, Google syncing is turned off. It’s recommended to keep it turned off while using the iCloud Contacts service. 
    Choose Contacts > Preferences, click Accounts, and then select your On My Mac account.
    Select the “Synchronize with Google” checkbox.
    Read the information, and then click Agree.
    Enter your Google account name (such as [email protected] or, for Google Apps customers, [email protected]) and password, and then click OK.You can sync only one Google account.

  • How do i sync my contacts with gmail without using cloud?

    I want to sync my contacts to Gmail, but iTunes tells me that I'm already syncing via the cloud, which is impossible because my Gmail account says I have alot more contacts than my phone does. So my question is, how do i sync manually without creating duplicates. Thanks

    Im sorry, I left out one important detail:
    I went through that a long time ago. My phone has actually synced with google before, it just refuses to do it automatically. So what I was trying to ask: is there a way to manually sync my contact to google..There are two things i suspect might be causing the problem but I dont know how to correct these issues:
    1) I have multiple Gmail accounts linked to my phone so maybe there is a priority issue.
    2) The cloud is taking priority over gmail, because when i check my iCloud it has all my contacts there.
    So, if i just needed a backup somewhere of my contacts in case i lost/replaced my iPhone then the cloud would be just fine. However, I need them backed up in google because Im switching to a Windows phone, and google seems to be the best contact backup to use across multiple branded devices. Everyone loves Google.
    An update to my situation:
    Windows app store had an app that uses bluetooth to retrieve all my contacts from my iPhone. It worked wonderfully. So any insight from here on out will only benefit others with this problem that happen to read this discussion, because my issue has been resolved. Thanks for your intended help nonetheless.

  • Curve 9360 can't sync contacts with Gmail

    Just recently this started. I have always been able to sync and now my contacts won't sync any changes. Any suggestions?

    Ah! This explains why I have been tearing my hair out for the past 24 hours trying to get my contacts from Address Book to my new BB Torch!
    I found a workaround for a one-time sync:
    1. go into Address Book prefs and temporarily change Default account from iCloud to On My Mac (this makes the "All on My Mac" category visible)
    2. Go back into your contacts window, select all of your contacts, and copy them to All on My Mac (this will create duplicates of everything)
    3. Sync the BB.
    3. Return to prefs to change default account back to iCloud, and select all the contacts in All on My Mac and delete them, thereby removing all duplicates.
    This solution only works for a one-time sync and needs to be repeated for future syncs.
    Let's hope BB comes up with an iCloud compatible update ASAP!

  • Duplicating contacts with Gmail

    Hi All,
    On my 4s in the contacts settings I have Gmail and Iphone ticked to show contacts. This duplicates a lot of contacts so I need to delete the duplicates.
    I need both Gmail and Iphone settings ticked as the Gmail is my work contacts with our full worldwide email distribution list and when I add a new number to the phone it saves it to the iphone contacts therefore needing that open too.
    So what I want to do is delete one of the two contacts but I dont know which is the iphone one or the gmail one as it doesnt say anywhere.
    Is there anyway to check this so I dont delete from my gmail or can I sync any added detail to my gmail so it shows up by just having gmail only ticked in the groups.
    Sorry this sounds a bit daft but I like to keep things neat and tidy on my phone!!!
    Thanks very much

    This is what i did
    I opened my phone browser from my computer--- memory card---contacts and copied all the contacts on my pc as a VCF File and then with the help of Nokia Communication Center i re-checked them and simply connected my new E90 and copied the same on the memory card.... and the job was done......(My phone was connected in Nokia PC Suite Mode)
    Another way is to use the application that nokia gifts its communicators users. Its called the Data Mover or Transfer...
    This application transfers contacts, calender entries and some other data from some another nokia mobile phone free of cost. It requires installation of nokia data transfer application on both the devices.

  • Synchronising E71 contacts with PCSuite

    I synchronise my contacts daily, without any difficulty.
    However I now have mnay hundreds of contacts in my PC and I do not want them all on my phone because it is such a fag to scroll through them to send sms or make calls.
    Can I select a sub-set of contacts to synchronise?

    There may be database corruption causing the issue. Click on the following link for the program called DbFixiT. This program has a trial version that you can download and install on your Palm OS device. The trial version will scan for database corruption and then report the corruption. You can then find the records causing the problem and fix them yourself or you can purchase the program and have it automatically fix the records.
    http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm
    To install the program, set all conduits to "do nothing" except quick install or install if using Palm desktop 6.2.
    After you install the program on the handheld, run the scan and also scan for Blobs in the calendar.
    After you clean-up the database on the handheld, set the conduits in hotsync to handheld overwrites desktop and perform a hotsync.

  • Syncing iphone contacts with Gmail contacts through itunes

    is there a way to sync my iphone contacts and calendar with Gmail contacts and calendar directly through itunes?
    when i am on itunes and i open teh drop menu next to contacts, i only get teh option of windowns contacts or  outlook. i saw in some blogs this same drop menu having google contacts as well.
    i jsut have a gmail account. does it ieed a google plus account or something? why isn't it appearing in the itunes menu?
    i have iphone 4 running ios 6.1.3 and the latest version of itunes.

    hi ArtisticGeek
    i am more concerned with syncing contacts and calendar (just the same way i sync them now with outlook)
    i am refering to the attached picture and the dtop menu in it and wondering why i don't have the same.
    reason being that i have a samsung tablet and an iphone and i just want to be able to have the same contact list and calendar notes on both and the only common platform to do that is Google contacts.

  • Problem to synchronise my contacts with my NOKIA 6021

    Hi,
    I have been successful at synchronising my NOKIA 6021 with my contacts and calendar events at my first attempt. BUT, after I have made changes in my vcard groups, i couldn't synchronize any more my contacts.
    What is strange is that under iSync, my contact list doesn't reflect my address book list. My calendar events still synchronize properly.
    I have tried to remove and then add again my phone, but I still get the old contact list. I have also reset the iSync history, without more success to get a refreshed list in iSync.
    What could I do to refresh my contact list in iSync?
    By the way, where is saved my address book information in my Mac?
    Thanks,
    Nicolas

    I think you have to choose which program you want to sync with, when your phone is pluged in and iTunes is up, go to contacts, calendars, and a drop down menu should pop up. you should be able to select outlook fom the list.

  • Cant sync existing contacts with gmail, new no problems

    Used the exchange setup method. I can not get my contacts to sync. If I make a new contact it pops instantly. Push is enabled....

    Can't you export Google contacts as vCards > place on microSD in Asha 501 > Copy contacts > Import to phone > Files > Search for file where it has been saved on your device, and then choose it. You will get the message “Start importing contacts to your phone?” hit ‘Yes’.

  • How do you sync contacts with gmail, not other place on computer? I don't know where the contacts came from on that are now on my new phone. There are way too many and it is not my list of contacts I have on gmail. Where else is this from?

    I don't know where the contacts came from on that are now on my new phone. There are way too many and it is not my list of contacts I have on gmail. Where else is this from? I spent a LONG time on gmail going through my list of contacts. There were about 400 and I got it down to about 90. When I went to sync my new phone, ALL 400 synced.
    Thank you for any help!

    Sorry for the repeat...new here. OBVIOUSLY.
