Trying to get contacts from Blackberry Pearl 8230 to iPhone 4

Since the Blackberry Pearl doesn't offer Backup Assistant, I have my contacts backed up on the Blackberry Desktop Software program.  Any idea how I can get them onto my new iPhone 4?
I have not previously used a contact management software program and am hoping to just use the native MacAddress Book software on my MacBook Pro.  MacAddress Book does not recognize the file extension (.bbb) from the Blackberry Desktop program and I have no idea how to change it.
BTW - I'm not very savvy with this, so please 'dumb it down' for me!
Thanks!

Hi,
In order to export your contacts from a Blackberry device to a csv file, you would have to use a program such as Outlook or Outlook Express.  If you don't have Outlook, you can download a free 60 day copy of Office 2010 from Microsoft.  That should do the trick for you.  First, save your contacts with Blackberry Desktop Software into Outlook.  Then, from Outlook, export your contacts into a csv file.  From there, you should be able to use iTunes to import the csv file and set up your contacts.  Hope this helps.

  • Moving contacts from Blackberry Pearl to Macbook Air

    Hi,
    I still have a Blackberry Pearl as my phone but have just upgraded to a Macbook Air as my laptop (from using a PC).
    Any advice on how I move my contacts from the Pearl to the Air ?
    And will I be able to regularly synch the two (as I did with my old PC)?
    Cheers, Baz

    I am trying to sync contacts from my iPhone to Mac.  When I plug in my iPhone, I do not get the Info tab in iTunes (as mentioned in how to sync on this website).  How can I get the info tab to appear?

    Since the release of Mavericks (OS X 10.9) syncing contacts and calendars with a Mac via iTunes is no longer supported. The currently supported method is via iCloud. Setup instructions: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

    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?

    Good luck with that...I'm trying to do the same thing.
    I work for AT&T Customer Care/Tech Support and there's no way in hell I would recomend the 8220 to any customer unless RIM will actually start doing some customer service. Ive even recomended to AT&T never to support this device until RIM solves this OBVIOUS device issue.
    I've even offered to RIM that I am willing to pay some for an upgrade - or a downgrade to a lesser Blackberry - I don't care which, I just want a Blackberry that actually works!
    I don't think RIM will do anything untill forced to - ie. if someone needs to call 911 on an 8220 and it shuts off and someone ends up dying as a result. The court case would be LOVELY to see... Would be nice to see a class-action-lawsuit over this issue as well...
    If RIM would actually give us an option of replacing this obvious lemon of a phone, maybe, just MAYBE we wouldnt be as upset and would remain loyal customers/users - Just sayin...

  • I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when i try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported

    I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to Mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when I try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported. Any ideas? 
    Thanks,
    Ian

    If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts.  There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

  • How do i get contacts from my address book in entourage to upload to iCloud?

    How do I get contacts from my address book in entourage to upload to icloud and so onto my ipad??  can they get to the ipad some other way??

    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.

  • How do I get contacts from iphone5 onto new pc?

    How do I get contacts from iphone5 onto new pc?  They do show up on my Ipad but not in icloud on my pc.  Thank you.

    If you are trying to do this with iCloud, make sure your Mac is running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher, then go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, turn Contacts to On, then on your Mac go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign into your account and check Contacts.
    If you only want to import a copy of your contacts from your Mac to your phone without using iCloud, do the following:
    Open Contacts (Address Book) on your Mac, go to View>Groups.
    Click on the All Contacts group, select any contact to the right, thengo to Edit>Select All (Command-A) to select them all.
    Export to a vCard by going to File>Export>vCard, save this on your desktop.
    Send an email to yourself with this file as an attachment.
    Open the email on your iPhone and tap the attachment to import the contacts to your phone.

    The problem is non compatible devices. You could go to a Verizon corporate store and they could try to transfer them, however many customers stated this has resulted in loss of contacts. They don't guarantee a transfer.

  • 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.

    If Outlook already has a munch of contacts, do I need to delete them all (all but 1 unique) to sync correctly?
    I have and iPhone ith up to date contacts, and I have outlook with some of the same contacts with older info. When I sync, outlook is OK, but I get a lot of copies of the same contact on my iPhone. Now I'm not entirely sure which are the up-to-date contacts and which aren't (and there's hundred of contacts to go through).
    ...For future reference, is there a way to to send the iPhone contacts to Outlook without adding crap to my phone? Amidst the sync process I noticed and option for conflicting files and choose the "always use phone" but still wound up with a contact mess of mixed old and new on the phone.

    You should be syncing your contacts with your computer/cloud service regularly.
