Syncing contacts from old email to new email on BB Tour

I would like to have the contacts I entered on my phone that synced to an old email address sync to the new email address I now use on my BB. All the contacts I have entered since setting up the new email address have synced under that account but the old ones still say "Synchronize using: [email protected]".
Is there a quick fix for this or will they forever be synced to my out-of-date account?
Thanks for the help!

An easy way to do transfer your contacts is to download the free app My Contacts Backup. Run this app on your old phone to backup your contacts as an attachment to an email. Send this email to yourself and open it on your new phone, tap the attachment and import your contacts.

Syncing iPhone from old PC to new Mac

maybe the answer to this question is the same as if my new and old cpus are the same, but here it goes:
i had a PC (HP laptop) for 2 years to which my iPhone 3G was synced. smartly, i just purchased the new Macbook Pro. i would like to sync my iPhone to the Macbook. do i simply transfer all my iTunes files to the Macbook (via an external harddrive)? it is my understanding that i will have to manually sync the songs back on to the iPhone, is this correct?
also, how can i transfer the applications purchased via my iPhone?
many thanks.

You're welcome.
After transferring your iTunes library from your old PC to your Mac following the instructions included with the link provided, when connecting your iPhone to iTunes on your Mac, the same selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your PC should be selected under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your Mac.
Basically, I have 120 G of music and picked and chose about 14G for my iPhone. Is there a way to make that sync automatically or will I have to manually sync each song back onto my iPhone?
Does this mean you have been manually managing music and videos with iTunes on your PC? If so, when switching from manually managing music and videos to syncing music, movies and tv shows will erased all music, movies, and tv shows from your iPhone first. You can accomplish the same with iTunes playlists. I have a primary iPhone playlist in iTunes for my iPhone where the majority of all music I want available on my iPhone is placed along with a number of other iTunes playlists I have created and chosen to be transferred to my iPhone. Under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes you can choose sync selected playlists, artists, and genres. You can select your chosen iTunes playlists, artists, and genres in the windows below followed by a sync.

Transfer iTunes Library and iPhone Sync data from old iMac to new Macbook Pro

Hi,
I bought a macbook pro in September last year, previous to this I had an iMac. This has all my music and iTunes stored on it.
Is there a way to transfer my iTunes over to my new Macbook Pro and sync my iPhone as if my phone thinks it's the same computer, so I don't have to restore my phone or set it up as a new one.
Thanks.

Yes.
Simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

Trying to move my contacts from old BB8520 to new BB9360

good day to the community, I am trying to move my entire contacts list from old business BB to new BB9360 using my home IMac as a pivot. I have downloaded the program for mac and succesfully moved my contact list there, but now when I connect my new 9360 after succesfully prompting for BB password it says "cannot connect IMac to the BB". if I look at the BB Desktop Software, I only see on the top left the BB 8520 icon, so basically I guess it is not ready to dialogue with the new device, as if the system did not acklowledge that there is a new device which I am trying to connect. I tried to dowload again the BB Desktop Software, it does not change.
any suggestion other then manually re-inserting over 1k contacts?

Syncing contacts from unsynced iphone to new imac

Good morning,
My boss has an iPhone full of contacts. The iPhone has not been synched with a PC or Mac before. He now has a new Mac laptop, he wants to sync the two, without iTunes destroying the content on the iPhone. How can I, a) take a full backup of the iPhone before letting iTunes anywhere near it, and b) get the contacts synced to the iMac so that for that first sync it treats the iPhone as a master and does not delete the contents on the iPhone. Thanks.

Same here, I have an iPhone 4 and a MacBook Pro. On my phone I have 750 contacts and on my laptop only 100!
I can't get the contacts from the phone to the laptop. Nowhere does it say merge, or use replace contacts on laptop.
I hope I don't have to manually enter all the address book into the laptop!

How do i sync music from old imac to new iphone?

I synced Handels music cd to old imac and nano. Then I bought new imac and new iphone. Never did migration. The new iphone is synced with new imac. I lost the Handel cd and I wanted to get the Handels music onto my new iphone. I want to transfer handels music from old imac (or old nano) to new imac or new iphone. Is this possible?
Thanks for any input.
Tim

You cannot transfer it directly to the iPhone, but you can copy the music to the new Mac. If they are on the same network you can drag the folder containing the music from the old iMac to the desktop on the new Mac. Then on the new mac drag and drop that folder onto iTunes in the dock bar. If they are not on the same network copy the folder to a data CD on the old Mac, then put the CD in the new Mac and drag the folder from the CD to iTunes.

Syncing iPhone from Old to the New Computer

My operating system crashed last 2 weeks. That was the OS my iphone syncing with itunes. I recovered my music and videos from it and then when I reformat my laptop I put my songs and videos on the same directory as my old laptop's music and video directory. today I plugged my iPhone to my newly reformatted laptop to delete all the music but when I went to the "iPhone name" > "music". due to reason that I can't delete or even add a new music into my iphone I check the "Sync Music" checkbox and asked me "Are you sure you want to sync music? all existing songs and playlists on the ''iPhone name' will be replaced with songs and playlist from your iTunes library". So I clicked the "Sync Music" and hit the "apply" button on the lower right part of iTunes. After clicking the button I received another confirmation shown below...
My question is this..
If click the "Erase and Sync", what kinds of contents iTunes will erase? I'm afraid it might also erase my apps. or even my contacts.
any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Problem syncing ringtones from old iphone4 to new iphone4.

I got a new iphone4 and I'm having trouble getting all of my ringtones to sync. When I plug the old phone (also an iphone4) into my laptop and bring up itunes, it shows all 58 ringtones under "on this iphone", but only 22 of the tones show up under "tones". Those 22 tones are the only ones that will sync because the other ones won't show up. Help?

I backed up my iPhone 4 calendars & contacts to iCloud, and realize what you're saying, wjosten...if I keep this OS 10.5.8 computer, I will never be able to get my calendar back onto this computer unless I jailbreak the iPhone to roll back the operating system so the two can sync. Because yes, I realize iTunes 10.6.3 will not sync from iCloud.
Makes one wish apple might consider being a little flexible w/unalterable updates for cases like these where updating OSs and versions of software is not good for the customer, and without warning. I wouldn't have ever updated my iPhone to OS 6 if I knew it would mean I could no longer sync my iPhone and my $3500 still pretty super fast, quite capable, worth keeping, older 2008 Macbook Pro.

Need to transfer apps & contacts from old 4 to new 5S - BUT...

I hadn't updated the OS on the 4 for a long time, since each upgrade made it perform worse. Now I can't get the 4 to upgrade (when I try, it just says "software update unavailable, try again later"), and Verizon says without doing so I can't transfer over my apps and contacts to the new phone. No worries about photos or music - those are saved elsewhere already. Any advice? Thx!

Verizon is wrong. You have a current backup of your iPhone 4? If so, follow the directions here:

No iTunes content is included in any iPhone backup, so after you restore your new phone from the backup of your old phone, either re-download your apps & music, or sync it to your new phone.

Contacts From Old Phone To New

I will be setting up my iPhone as new when I get my new one. My concern is my contacts. If I push the slider on my current phone to green/on for contacts under iCloud, will then they show up on my new phone when I activate it? Is there an easy way to get my contacts on the new phone without losing any or creating duplicates? I don't want to restore from back-up, I want to set us as new. I have heard Gmail however I worry that will create duplicates and will put some on my phone that I don't want there.

Have you tried syncing with your computer?

Unable to sync apps from old iPad2 to new iPad3

I have a new iPad3, upgrade from iPad2.
Both the old and new iPads were issued by my company.
I have TWO PCs and TWO appleIDs:
1. The first PC is my work computer (Win7, iTunes 10), where I use my work-issued AppleID to sync with the company-issued MobileIron configured profile. This worked fine, all is good. Works great, no problems.
2. The second PC is my personal computer (Win7, iTunes 10), where I use my personal AppleID to sync with my personal AppleID to pick up my music, apps, etc.
On my personal PC, I keep getting the dreaded "We could not complete your iTunes request. The network connection was reset." I know this must be common because I find many posts about it, but most are several years old. I've tried several suggestion not on apple.com and none work. Network connections are fine, as you can see because I am posting here from my personal PC.
I was able to sync music and all loaded great onto the new iPad3. When I try to sync apps, it tells me the computer is not authorized. When I try to authorize again, it gives me the same error.
My frustration is this worked GREAT on my prior iPad2. I was able to sync with both PCs and both the work and personal AppleIDs and bounce back and forth between the two any time I needed to do so.
My company IT department says they have not changed anything in the MobleIron config that should prevent this from happening, and other employees do it with no problem.

Hi,
Is this resolved now? I am facing similar problem and would appreciate if you could help

Syncing contacts from old Touch to Touch 4G

OK, how do I do it. I set up the new Touch (4G) but the contacts didn't transfer from my old one (which I am still using). Any hints here?
Thanks,

If you setup your new iPod by restoring it from a backup of you original iPod the new Ipod would contain the address book and a lot of other information on your old iPod. See:

Need to sync Apps from old Ipod to new Iphone on different computers

I have apps on my old Ipod touch that I want to put on my new Iphone. My Ipod is synched to my PC, but I want to sync my new Iphone to my Macbook Pro. I also want to put the old apps on my Ipod and put them on my Iphone. What should I do?

Sign into the Apple ID used to purchase them on you iPhone (in Settings>Store), then download the apps as past purchases directly to the phone (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). Prior to syncing with your MacBook Pro, disable automatic syncing in iTunes (iTunes Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"). Then connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar, right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases (to transfer the apps to your iTunes library). You will also need to authorize your computer for this Apple ID in iTunes (under Store>Authorize this computer) in order to sync these apps to your phone.
