Turn off wireless Syncing for Contacts

Blackberry Desktop software will not sync, (via Outlook 2010) claiming that the wireless tab is activated for the Contacts on my blackberry 9700. This has been turned off, phone restarted via a cold restart, yet I still cannot sync the contacts. All other syncs, calendar, Memo, Tasks sync fine.

I have a 9800 and I was trying to sync my contacts and I had the exact same problem. It was really frustrating but I finally figured it out. I don't know all the details.. I just know how it worked for me. From the homescreen click contacts. Once contacts is open, hit the menu button and click options. Contacts Options will pop up and for me there were 3 options at the top ( Contact Display and Actions, Recent Activites, and AT&T Address Book) then a gray divider line that says "Contact Lists". Under that divider line was my personal email address. I clicked my personal email address and a second window pops up that has THE CHECKBOX.. the one the instructions refer to (THE needle in the haystack). I unchecked that box and magically in desktop manager, after hitting the "configure settings button" it worked. Hope this helps! believe me i know how frustrating it is. The instructions in desktop manager should be more precise!

  • Turning off wireless sync

    I have been trying to turn off wireless synchronization in my black berry ever since I got it.
    When I go to the helpsection in my Blackberry Desktop Software program, it says
    1. On you blackberry device, in the calendar application, Contacts application, Tasks application, or Memopad, press the Menu key > Options.
    2. If necessary, click a calendar or contact list.
    3. Change the wierless synchroization field to NO or clear the wierless synchronization check box.
    4. Press the menu key > save.
    NONE OF THAT EXIST ON MY BLACKBERRY!
    I mean have all the applications but there are NO wireless synchronization check box.
    There is NO wierless synchroization field! I can’t find any place where it says wireless synchronization on my blackberry. I can’t synchronize my calendar at all.
    This is really horrible, what kind of stupid instructions does blackberry give out?
    Has anyone come across this problem and is there a fix for it?

    'Ello,
    I have a BlackBerry Curve 9330 (v6.0.0.524, Platform 4.4.0.438).  After installing the desktop manager software and attempting to synch my device with my pc, I received a notification that I must first turn off the wireless synchronization option on my BlackBerry.  Okay, cool.  But how?
    Evidently with a headache.  I tried following the directions from Research in Motion.  I tried reading the user manual.  I tried searching the web.  I tried calling BlackBerry's customer service line to get a refund on the past two hours of my life I just wasted.  But all of these attempts were in vain.  You know why?
    Because there is no "Wireless Synchronization" field, that's why. 
    I don't know how a company manages to give its customers false instructions or no instructions at all.   I also don't know how I managed to waste yet another hour of my life on my BlackBerry.  But after playing around with  my phone, I figured it out.  And now I will share with you lovely people!
    So, assuming you already set up an e-mail account to be used with your phone, here's how to wirelessly synch your Blackberry Curve 9330 with Blackberry's desktop software:
    Go to Messages on your phone.  You can get there by either clicking the yellow envelope icon on the top of your screen or going into your apps and then clicking on the envelope icon.
    Once you're there, scroll to the top and click on the date.
    Click on Full Menu.
    Go to Email Account Management (above Spell Check).
    Click on your e-mail address.
    Click on Edit.
    Scroll down to the bottom and you will see Synchronization Options.  Open it up and uncheck Contacts and Deleted items.
    Save.
    Viola!  After following these steps, I could *finally* sync my BlackBerry with the desktop manager.  Hope this helps!

  • Turning off Wireless connection for WRT160N

    I have just setup the WRT160N and am using it primarily as a wired router for my home network.
    I am not wanting to use the wireless networking and am wanting to turn it off due to concerns for my Children's health.
    How do I ensure that the wireless component is not active, whilst still being able to use the wired connection.
    Thanks
    Solved!

    Its under basic wireless settings.. Maybe you can see two options that says "Manual" and "Wi-fi Protected Set up".. If you do, click on Manual then you will be able to see the Network Mode which is the first options under Manual..

  • Turn off Verizon sync of contacts?

    It's amazing how well things run until Verizon tinkers with things.

    You can switch the contacts to be saved as Google contacts and eliminate the Verizon sync.

  • Turn off wireless synchronization - Curve 9360 - Option to turn it off not present

    I am attempting to synchronize my BB contacts to Desktop Manager v6 and it is advising that I need to turn off wireless sync.  I have reviewed the forum and user manual however, I simply cannot see the option to turn off wireless synchronization.  It is not present under the options.  Please help!  Thank you in advance!

    Hello jamison2010 and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    Sorry to hear you are having issues synchronizing your BlackBerry® Curve™ 9360 smartphone and the BlackBerry® Desktop Software.
    You need to check the individual database that is being wirelessly synchronized. For example, if you are trying to do the USB wired sync with your computer and you get the message it is being synchronized wirelessly, you need to go to your BlackBerry Contacts then Menu>Options and select your contact list (most likely your email account).
    If it is the Calendar then you go to the Calendar>Menu>Options and select the calendar list (which again, will most likely be your email account).
    Hope this answers your question.
     

  • HT204019 Can I turn off the ringtone for one contact only?

    Is it possible to turn off the ringtone for one contact only? The block feature won't work because I still want to be able to receive voice messages from this particular contact.

    You can assign a silent ringtone to that one person. Google to find such a ringtone, sync it to the phone, assign the custom ringtone to this person and when they call, the phone will appear not to ring.

  • My 6th Generation Nano Shuts down my Thinkpad, I've tried uninstalling iTunes, turning off auto sync'ing and restoring my ipod, but every time I plug in my iPod, my whole pc goes blue and then reboots in safe mode. Please Help. Thanks.

    Hello kidmango,
    I am going to have to agree with planb77. Look into other drivers in your computer causing the issue, not just the nano's drivers.
    It is possible that security software is the culprit. Use this:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues
    You may have to restore your computer to a previous point. From before the issue started. Contact computer manufacture or Windows for steps, or do a search with a search engine.
    I would test the ipod on a known good computer to see if its the ipod is the issue. My gut says no. You can set a reservation at an Apple Retail Store. Apple.com/retail .You can also test a known good ipod on your computer.
    Hope this helps.

  • Turning off Wireless on N8

    I got my N8 3days ago. For now I'm very pleased with it and it works really nice and smooth.
    Now, my problem is that I don't know how to turn off wireless network, and I mean turn it off completely.  I tried everything that crossed my mind by I just can't turn it of. I go to Connections and turn it of, but it starts by itself automatically few seconds later (and I am talking about my home wireless network as well as wireless network in my office). Problem with this is that it drains battery during the time when I actually don't need to use internet at all.
    So is there any way that wireless network can be stopped and then resumed when needed ?
    I would be really grateful if anyone can help me with that issue.
    If I've helped you in any way, a click on the White Star to the left would always be appreciated.

    Ok this is the issue. It is a bug in mail app. Mail apps just over rides the settings in your connections settings. The solution is Go to mail - settings - Your account - Synchronization - set fetch frequency for everyday. Then re start your phone. Some times your phone still connects to WiFi but this time when you turn it off in connections it will turn off forever. You may need to do it again and again some times because as i said it is a bug in mail app. ( I assume that the widgets are set to offline mode, and ovi sync settings is auto sync off they may also cause the connection) 
    It is simply a bug, if i turn off my WiFi in connections that should override all the individual app settings and gain the priority, but there are some apps like mail which gains the priority over the system settings. Hope it will be solved in the next firmware. 
    I have the same settings from the beggining and the wireless keeps connecting with a specific wireless access point, i have ten access points in my list and this happens only when im in the range of this access point.
    My settings are
    Mail App Synch: All Days unchecked, 20:00-20:05, None
    Widgets in offline mode
    No apps set in online mode
    WLAN scanning turned off
    The problem occured suddelny after adding that access point which is a common Thomson TG585v7 and it's hapening only with that acess point, it's very annoying because i have to change the security settings (like wpa key) to make it go in offline mode. I read in forums that others have also the same problem and the only solution is to move the AP, delete ot change settings.

  • Turn off library caching for a Mail client on the Mac?

    Hi..is it possible to turn off library caching for a Mail client on the Mac? At work I have outlook 2007. I setup Mail client to sync Mail,contacts and calendar. The cache is stored in the library hidden folders. Is it possible to permanently turn off caching?

    I am getting more and more bewildered.  I just looked at google mails settings to see if they do something different from the isp I use and there they say the following: if the sent messages aren't stored on the server, then where are they stored?

  • Wireless sync of contacts

    I have had my curve for a while and use an enterprise server for email (which works fine).  recently I noticed that my contacts were not in sync and connected the device to my desktop and completed the sync.  I now have NO contacts on my phone.  My contacts are still on the desktop/server.  On the phone in the contacts the wireless is grayed out.  I need to get my contacts on my phone.
    Help. 

    Crispy, thanks for sharing your concern. I understand how important it can be to have your contacts on your phone. I am hoping this issue has been resolved by now, but if you need further assistance, here are some steps. First, when you say the wireless is grayed out, are you going to your Contacts, press Menu, Options, choose Desktop, then Wireless Synchronization? If not, make sure that option says available. Here are some steps to delete the Sync service book and re-add it. If you are still not getting the option to turn on wireless sync, I suggest contacting your IT department, since they are the ones who control your company's BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server). 

  • How do you turn off Auto-Sync without connecting  the ipod  to PC?

    My Purchased Tracks was deleted off my computer, but I still have all of them on my ipod. I have iTunes 7, so I am aware I can transfer all my purchased music from my ipod to itunes. But I know auto-sync is set up, so when I connect it to my computer, won't it automatically sync itunes with my ipod and therefore delete my purchased music on my ipod? Can I turn off auto-sync without connecting my ipod?

    A couple of ways...
    Hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys when you plug in the iPod. (For a PC)
    Or...
    Connect your iPod, but before it starts to sync, click that little X on the right hand side of the ITunes display at the top of the page. (Next to the "Do Not Disconnect" message.)
    Then click box at bottom that says manually manage music.
