Trouble synching contacts from old non BB phone

Hi,
I am trying to import contacts from a samsung brightside onto my new q10. I got the contacts saved onto my computer (pc) as separate vcards. Then, I imported them into Windows' contacts folder. Then, using BB Link, I configured the q10 to sync with Windows Contacts.
When I sync, the entries in the Q10 look good, except that the name is repeated in the suffix. So John Smith shows up in the Q10 as John Smith John Smith.
How can I fix this? And is there an easier way to import these contacts?
Thanks,
Eric

You will need to find a way to get the contacts to a supported application on the computer, or if they are very minimal contacts, such as only a single number each, you can import them to the iPhone from the SIM, if they are the same size. If not, take it to your carrier. Many carriers have devices to read the SIM card and transfer contacts that way. This is generally the easiest method.

How to get contacts from Verizon non-smart phone to iPhone 4S

What is the best way to get my contacts from my LG Voyager to the iPhone 4S?
Thank you

Certainly the LG Voyager supports syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer?
With Wimdoze, the iPhone supports syncing contacts with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes or with the address book app used by Outlook Express or Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only, and with the Address Book on a Mac.
You need to get the contacts from the Voyager into a supported address book on your computer - the contacts should already be available on your computer someplace. Not a good idea to depend on a cell phone alone for contacts, which can be lost or stolen or damaged by accident.

Having trouble synching contacts from ipad and iphone to iMac

Hello, I have an iMac with Yosemite and an iPad and iPhone with iOS 8 that are all fully updated. I am having trouble getting all of my contacts to sync to my iMac. They sync between the devices fine. After a lot of searching around I found that my iMac doesn't show my outlook account as one of my internet accounts for contacts. I get my mail no problem from outlook (hotmail) on my iMac. But when I try to set up another internet account on my iMac it doesn't show outlook as a possibility. I don't know why my ipad an phone are using outlook for contacts but they are and I don't seem to be able to switch it up. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I don't know much about sim cards (being a Verizon user), but having an iPhone 4S, mysteriouly having a SIM card slot, I notices a button in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars that said "import SIM contacts. I'm not sure how you get your contacts in a SIM card, but thats obviously how you import them onto your new iPhone.
Thank you for choosing Apple.

I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5, but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Is there any way to access my contacts from a non apple device?

Is there any way to access my contacts from a non apple device?
I am waiting on my new phone to arrive but in the mean time can I access my contacts from a non apple device? Please help!

If you synced them to iCloud, you can view them on icloud.com from your computer. They can also be accessed from an Android device using SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts. Or, you can download them from iCloud as a vCard (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606), then import them to another service such as Google in order to sync them with a non-Apple device.

Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on 10.9.5

I am having Trouble importing contacts from a tab-delimited file into Contacts on MacBook Pro, OS 10.9.5, Intel 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo., 400GB drive, 4GB memory DDR3
So far I have:
- Followed closely the help screen in Contacts app
- Modified my source document meticulously - first in MS Word, then copied and tweaked in Apple's "Text Edit" app
- The problem arises when I go to access the document for import. Specifically, the target document, and all others in that file, are "greyed out" and thus can't be "opened" to facilitate the import process
- Tried changing the extension of the document name to ".txt", ".rtf", and ".rtd". No change or improvement.
- Searched Apple.com/help and found nothing relevant
Can anyone offer some advice or tell me what I may be overlooking in this process?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi Rammohan,
Thanks for the effort!
But I don't need to use GUI upload because my functionality does not require to fetch data from presentation server.
Moreover, the split command advised by you contains separate fields...f1, f2, f3... and I cannot use it because I have 164 fields. I will have to split into 164 fields and assign the values back to 164 fields in the work area/header line.
Moreover I have about 10 such work areas. so the effort would be ten times the above effort! I want to avoid this! Please help!
I would be very grateful if you could provide an alternative solution.
Thanks once again,
Best Regards,

Import contacts from old outlook 2013 to new Outlook 2013

I recently had to get a new computer. I removed the boot drive from the old computer and installed it as drive F on the new computer. This worked great in recovering my large data files. However, drive F contains an instance of Outlook 2013
as does drive C. How do I copy to or import drive F's contact info to the new Outlook 2013 contacts? I do not need the old email messages as I already have gotten them from the email service provider.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to import contacts from old Outlook 2013 to the new Outlook 2013 please follow these steps: -
Collect Files from the Old Computer
First, you need the PST from your old computer. In most cases, they will be in the default location Outlook uses. To quickly access the default PST location outside of
Outlook, paste this line in Windows Explorer’s address bar:
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Copy the Files to the New Computer
Now, you will copy the PSTs to the new computer. If you have several PSTs in the folder and are not sure which one is the one with your data, look at the file dates and
file sizes. If you have 265KB PST files, they are empty and don’t need to be moved.
Paste the following line into the address bar.
%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
In this folder you will have the NK2, SRS, XML, outlprnt, and VBA project files.
Open the AppData Roaming folder using the following command and copy the NK2 file to the folder.
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Outlook
Create a Profile
After the PST file is on the local drive, type mail in the start search field on the
Start menu or go to Control Panel, Mail then opens the profile dialog. (If you use the
Category view, mail is under the Users group; in Win 64-bit, Mail is under 32-bit application.
Click the Show Profile button.
Click Add to create a new profile.
Enter a descriptive name for your profile.
Enter the name you want to use for your display name, your email address, and your password.
Add Your Existing Data File (PST) to the Profile
If you have an Outlook data file PST, and you want to use with your new profile, then please follow these steps: -
Select the newly created profile, then click Properties.
Click Data files button to open Account Setting dialog to the Data files tab.
Click Add then browse to your existing PST file.
If the PST is a native Outlook 2003/2007 file type, choose the top entry for the Outlook Personal File. Click Ok.
Select your existing PST file.
You can enter a friendly name or just click OK to return the Account Settings dialog.
Click the Sets as Default button. Select the PST Outlook created when it created the profile and click Remove. If you want, click Open folder to find and deletes this PST.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Can I merge ical from old, non cloud Mac with new one?

Can I merge ical from old, non cloud Mac with new one?
I cannot sync from old G5 so if I backup that iCal, can I merge it with new iCal on my new Mac without losing new Mac calenday details?
Thanks.
Jeff

Jeff,
First, iCloud: How to back up iCloud data.
Next, use iCal>File>Export>Export...for the calendar that you want to use for the export. Move the .ics file to your new computer, and double click the file. You will be offered a choice of creating a new calendar in iCloud, or importing to an existing calendar. Make the appropriate choice for your circumstances.

how can l move contacts from old account to new

Hello,
This greying-out of your iPod's songs are due to what setting you are on in iTunes.
Go to "Edit -> Preferences -> iPod". Under the "music" tab, there will be three selectinos of options:
Automatically update ALL songs
Automatically updater SELECTED songs
Manually manage songs
From your description of this issue, you are on one of the "automatic" settings. To un-grey your iPod's songs in iTunes, change that setting to "manually manage music" instead of automatic".
If any post is helpful or solves your issue, please mark it that way, this makes it clearer to other users what solved your issue, and encourages others to help each other on here. Thank You!
I hope this answers the question,

Import contacts from old address book on MacBkPro Snow Leopard into new MacBk Pro Lion

How do I import my contacts from old address book on MacBkPro Snow Leopard into new MacBk Pro Lion (on MacBkPro Retina). I can see the "AddressBook" file on the old HD (extracted from old machine--which died) and have a copy of that file on to desktop of new machine. [Copied from old HD: Users/home/Library/Application Support/Address Book]. There is an Address Book in the same location on the "MacIntosh HD" of the new machine, but some of the files in that (new) folder have different names. Risky to simply over-ride this. What should I do?

My mistake - my groups are there! They transferred perfectly. Still getting used to my wonderful new machine. Sorry to bother you!

Hi all! Been given my bosses old iphone as a work phone. Need to keep his contacts on the phone and update my own(from previous non iphone phone). Ideas and Help PLEASE??

Hi all, I have recently been given a new work iphone. It was my bosses. He wants me to keep all his old contacts already on the iphone. However I will also need my old contacts from my own old phone(not iphone). I was wondering how I go about this?
This will be my first experience with iphones and so I know very little about them, however I am worried about itunes libraries. If I try to update my iphone software etc using itunes will I lose all my bosses contacts from the phone since I will obviously be using a new itunes library that is not his!
Sorry for the confusing nature of the this post. But any ideas, input or help will be greatly appreciately!

You'll need to restore your phone from the latest backup you made before he synced his phone.
To check if there is still a backup you can use, do this:
Open iTunes Preferences:
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Click Devices (the iOS device doesn't need to be connected).
iTunes will show the phone number, IMEI, and serial number of the backed up iPhone when you position your mouse pointer over a backup (iTunes shows only the serial number for iPad and iPod touch). You can use this to find the backup you want to use.
Then restore from that backup by following this article:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Do the same with his device after that, using his old backup.
If you can't find one, set it up as new device without using any backup.

Getting contacts from old phone onto iPhone

I've seen a few posts similar to this, but I'm looking for a simple answer. I had a Samsung phone through AT&T with a sim card and have many contacts on there. I'd like to bring them into the iPhone but don't know where how to insert the sim card to do this. Can it be done and can I do it myself or do I need to go into a store? I see a slot at the top of the iPhone, but it's not obvious how to remove it from the device. Thanks.
If I do this, can I then synch to my Yahoo contacts or will this overwrite the contacts from the sim card of the previous phone?

Page 6 of the iphone users guide covers SIM card installation.
