Wireless Synchronization of Calendar, tasks and memos

I'm a first-time user of a new Blackberry Curve 8310. I've installed the software and completed a wired-synchronization to my computer. Now, I want to set the device so that it synchronizes wirelessly.
I've followed the instructions that say Calendar>Menu>Options> but there is not a "Wireless Synchronization" field to select.
Can this be done on this device? If yes....what am I missing?
Thanks

In the DeskTop software program I use (4.5) in the upper right hand corner of the main screen is options, it contains connection options. Other than USB it does offer Bluetooth. I don't have any other options. If you look in the Blackberry Device manager it lists Com ports, USB and Bluetooth. Again, that's the only options I see.
What type of Calendar/contacts program are you using? Google offers a sync option.
Please let me know!

After Importing Tasks and Memos | Let's Move them from Remember to Calendar? More Extra Steps

After grabbing all your Tasks and Memos from BB OS 7.1, all the entries go unfiled into the Remember App. This is nice, but not nice. Anyone writing code to export these to the Calendar App or within Remember to 'move' them to the Calendar App? Does this make any sense to be left to redo these tasks and memos that invariably and potentially become Calendar worthy in terms of absolute reminders in advance of the due date?
It would seem logical, that say, for example, that if your old memos become potential Tasks, both the tasks and memos in Remember are somewhat treated the same. So now to export them possibly into the Calendar app? What am I missing here?
What would be the work around here temporarily until code is written to take all of your imported tasks and memos from, say, OS 7.1, now inside the Remember App, and send them OPTIONALLY to the Calendar? Nothing I can see at the moment...
Sometimes Memos turn into Tasks, which then could lead to Due Dates/Appointments/Do-To's in the Calendar App IF so chosen. But there isn't a strong blood relationship between Remember and Calendar. If there is, someone advise.
Relationship: Remember<>Calendar (In other words, strengthening the gap between Remember and Calendar.
When you've a SLEW of old Tasks and Memos coming from the previous OS's...wow...
In my Old Bold 9930 I had over a thousand valid memos, and over 2,300 regular tasks, segmented. Now joyously and unfortunately in the Remember App, WHAT A "TASK" TO FILE THEM WITHOUT ANY EXPORT to the Calendar or for the new Calendar to receive them with open arms and bifurcate them accordingly. (Splitting the main into two parts yet having the bond between the apps as close as possible)...
Sad that the old Tasks in BB OS 7.1 now imported into the Remember App has to be copied and pasted into the Calendar App for the Reminder and Re-occurrences, etc. Am I missing something? What a daunting task for power copy/paste people on a full qwerty to a touch keyboard.
Fervently experimenting with QNX Developers on this one. Need a cognitive, logical thought structure here to make this alleged "smooth" transition from one baton to the next baton (OS 7.1 to BB 10 in this area). Dropping the baton won't win the race against the competition here...

Well, what I've done is just the opposite as far as Calendar to Remember as the Calendar has the "Share" function base. With an extra step or two and of a 'cleaning house' from the import from the old OS7.1, I've brought all my tasks and memos into the calendar and brought them back into their respective folder(s) inside of Remember.
You see, because the Remember app is so vast or initially treated as vast, if one is fast enought to power copy/paste while cleaning house, take all your memos, tasks, etc into the Calendar and sync Remember with the Calendar manually via the due date/time function in Calendar, then you've a precusor reminder due date in Remember, which then leads to your day's events in Calendar.
For me I've not doubled up on the amount of tasks and memos, but provided myself as a power BB user the ability to work around and strengthen the relationship between the two apps. If the due date is accurate on the Remember app (if chosen), you do get reminded that particular day, and on that particular day you can then revew the day's notes/memos from within the Calendar app, clean the task/memo house as you move along, and sit back until the code is written just for the reversal of what protocol I've taken here. Either way, you avoid third party apps, your passion for BlackBerry remains, and your productivity is elevated with BlackBerry 10.
A lot of people don't realize how powerful QNX is as I am working with QNX developers now with feedback within the ebb & flow of the code. Give less than three years through BlackBerry Evangelism, Philanthropic aspirations and more, and BlackBerry will take back a strong segmented market space and enhance the quality of lives for those who are loyal and believe in BlackBerry as a lifestyle. All BlackBerry, all of the time.

Organiser sync with Yahoo calendar/task list/memo pad/ addressbook

Hi,
I have recently bought a Blackberry Curve 8520.
My problem is connecting to yahoo calendar/task list/memo pad/ addressbook
Each time I try to syncronise I get back the message "connection to the yahoo server was lost"
I am using the lastest version of the yahoo and blackberry software. I am sure I am not the only user trying to sync PCand Blackberry informantion!!
Help to resolve this issue would be much appreciated.
Many thanks DBF

Someone suggested that I switch to syncing to/with Google calendar ... but I don't know how to do that since it's not in the list of options that come up when I say I want to configure sync settings. Do you know how to do that?
I received a cryptic email response from Yahoo saying they no longer support syncing with Yahoo calendar ... but implying that they may still be working on it and the option may start working again if they get a solution. I responded that I'd like to know if they fix the problem instead of having to try every few days, but got no response to that request.
The iPhone 5 is supposed to come out next month. Maybe it's time to switch brands of smartphones.

Format of files for calendar, tasks and address book to export/sync

My idea is to sync the files that are used by TB/Lightning, to manage my calendar, tasks and the address book.
My question is, in which files calendar, tasks, address book are saved and which format do these have?
Do I NEED to export each of them, before managing them with another software? (Icedove and possibly Android)

When you export your calendar, it is in an .ics file, both events and tasks. The ics file is a text file which can be edited. RFC-5545 defines the format.
When you export your address book, there are two formats: CSV is comma separated variables, and can be input to a spreadsheet. LDIF is also a text file and is better for importing into another computer.
As far as syncing, I'm not sure what you have in mind, but Google is one way to share that data between devices.

.bbb; "tasks" and "memo"; Curve 8520; Playbook

I have a BlackBerry Curve 8520 and a BlackBerry Playbook.
Short context: Destroyed phone but salvaged the SIM.
Curve was synched to Playbook.
Playbook contains thesis information that I NEED to recover: Specifically, “tasks” and “memo” items.
Used BlackBerry Desktop Manager ver. 7.1 to backup Playbook bbb files.
Ver. 7.* of software will let me specify “organiser” function to isolate the files I need.
Uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, reinstalled…yadda yadda yadda… various archived versions of the software tried, but none work. Currently have active on PC ver. 5.0 – PC is Windows XP).
Have tried to recover the Playbook data in .bbb file. Have tried BlackBerry Backup Extractor (cannot find *any* files). Have tried “PhoneMiner.” Have tried “Magic Berry.” Have also tried renaming .bbb files as .zip (all “copies” – not the original backup file). 7-Zip recovers .tar files, but all refer to applications.
So…I’m thinking that in the ver. 7.1 of the software, it might not have actually backed up “memo” and “tasks” files. However, ver. 5.0 doesn’t seem to recognise the Playbook. When connecting Playbook to PC, I am prompted to upgrade software from the “Playbook directory.”
So, BB Desktop Manager ver. 5.* doesn’t recognise Playbook. Version 7.* of BB Desktop Manager gives me the error message
But, in so doing, the software (ver. 7.* of BlackBerry Desktop Manager) doesn’t allow me to specify the “memo” and “task” in the “Organiser” tab. Instead, I get an error message, and the prompt to www…/docs for support.
BlueTooth is not yet reconfigured and set up (but I am having a great deal of difficulty setting up the WiFi on my Curve, despite manually entering PSK when autodetect fails) but I am in no rush about this as I have not yet synched Curve with Playbook. I’m afraid that the Curve will overwrite the Playbook (and purge the “memo” and “tasks”).
I am making the assumption that the files are still on Playbook, but I can’t confirm this as a) BB Desktop manager using versions that recognise Playbook will not let me specify “memo” and “tasks” files in the “organiser” function, b) there has been no synch yet with an “empty” Curve. There has been no auto synch either as lauching “memo,” for instance, on Playbook, prompts the search for a connection to the Curve, which it cannot find. Once connection is established, will Curve automatically overwrite the Playbook files effectively deleting “memo” and “tasks” files?
Bottom line is this: I need to get “memo” and “tasks” from Playbook. How can I ensure the retrieval of “memo” and “tasks” files?
Sorry for “too much info” as I wanted to offer as much as might be necessary.
Sincerest thanks for 1) reading this post to the end; 2) considering my issue; 3) offering a solution, and 4) offering a solution that works!

Woops. Sorry forgot this detail.
I have a new Curve 8520 -- not the Curve 8520 destoryed.

Task and memo application

Hi,
I'm in the process of possibly upgrading my current curve 8310 to either that Z10 or Q10 and I have heard that both models do not have the task and memo applications Is their an application that can be installed on the z10 and Q10 in order to transfer over my tasks and Memo's on my current phone to the new phone and still use those applications? Any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

Hey robguzasjr,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
The BlackBerry 10 smartphones have an application called "Remember" that handles Tasks and Memos, when you migrate data from a BlackBerry 5.0 smartphone or above the Tasks and Memos are transferred to the Remember application.
Review the following article for information on what is transferred when switching to a new BlackBerry 10 Smartphone: http://ca.blackberry.com/support/transferring-to-bb10-device/personal.html
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.

Restored iPod lost my notes, calendar events, and memos

I backed my iPod up to iTunes and then I restored my iPod touch 5...after it was finished I tried putting my data all back on but a lot of the data wasn't there. The only thing there was my contacts. I also backed everything up to iCloud too before I restored my iPod. How can I get my notes, calendar events, and my memos back? Please help me I really need the notes I had

Restore from backup. That is all you can do. Make sure y look at the date of the backup to see if the media would be in the backup. Maybe you overwrote the backup that contained the data when/if you backed up after the info was deleted form the iPod.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

E71 no longer syncs Calendar, Tasks and Contacts

I'm hoping you can help me.
I am the owner of an E71. I have mail for exchange 2.07(22) preloaded on my phone. When I began syncing the device to my work exchange server, it worked a treat. Now, email is the only thing syncing. Yes, the emails are coming through fine, just as they should. However, now the contacts, tasks and calendar are not syncing at all. According to my IT department, nothing has changed at their end to cause a problem like this. When I open 'MfE' and force through a sync, it syncs my email then starts to sync Calendar then I get this message 'System Error. Try again later'. It's driving me mad! I'm a PA and need this device to work as the further I get away from my Outlook, the lower my IQ goes!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Lesley
Solved!

Manual Sync issues - no tasks, no memos, no calendar events or entries in the Password Keeper sync with my computer

A year and a half after purchasing my phone I realized it has not been syncing hardly anything.
It will sync my pics and videos and my contacts. It says it syncs my call logs, my texts, my calendar entries, my tasks, my memos and my "applications" which I hoped meant my Docs-To-Go and my Password Keeper - applications which were on my phone when I purchased it.
However, when I look for these, the applications are nowhere to be found and the tasks and memos are unreadable. The calendar entries just don't appear at all.
I have Windows Vista 64 on my computer and the manual says the tasks and memos should appear in Microsoft Outlook. They do not.
I realized this when a manufacturing defect forced me to replace an identical phone after only a year. It took me 7 days straight to re-enter all of the information from my previous phone into its replacement. After all of that, the phone still won't synchronize.
I realize it synchronizes "wirelessly" now, but from what I can tell I would have to send each entry through email, which is time consuming.
Why can I not plug in the cord from my phone into the USB port on my computer and it backup everything? AS I WAS ASSURED IT WOULD WHEN I PURCHASED THE PHONE?

Yeah, I sort of agree...
But the dock is clearly a culprit.. my phone syncs with no problem when in the old dock, and gets hung up when connected to the combo dock with the BT headset attached.

Only want2use iCal+Address book with iSynch and Memos+Tasks with Palm T/X

I was using Tungsten T2 and isync happily. I was using isync to use the address book and iCal and when I synched it also synched the palm info in the Calendar and address book in my Palm desktop. The memos and tasks in Palm desktop also worked properly.
I upgraded my palm to T/X and have had many problems with deletion of categories on the handheld, duplication of task and diary entries, address entries with weird symbols added that need to be deleted, desktop memos and tasks not updating. iCal seemed to work OK but the palm desktop calendar did not display any future entries. Is this normal.
I removed isync and after resorting everything on the device - enabled all conduits for palm and resynced. So now everything seems to work properly.
My main questions are: what did I do wrong for this to happen which led to me spending hours sorting everything out on the palm device manually?
And: Is there a way to keep everything synching on the palm device AND iCal and address book for palm?
And: If not: Is there a way to use iCal and address book for mac AND keep you tasks and memos synching on the palm desktop? As I prefer the palm software for tasks as I have several categories for my tasks and do not allocate tasks on given days.
Thanks for reading and I hope to hear some quality advice from you soon. Matt

Starting with your last question about first synchronizing with the Palm Desktop calendar and then later with the Mark/Space Events conduit, the answer is no. Your first synchronization with any of the three Mark/Space conduits—whether one, a pair or the more conventional all three—requires that you overwrite the handheld with that data type using that Mark/Space conduit.
You should read this article about the limitations between the display and transfer of calendar events between Palm devices and iCal:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93172
Understanding those limitations, you should selectively 'fix' the events in iCal so that they are represented properly in iCal. You will have to live with the limitations of such event display on your Palm. If you 'fix' them on your Palm, you will only create additional issues when they are synchronized with iCal using either iSync or the Missing Sync.
Old repeating events can be 'rescheduled' in iCal by selecting the event and changing the end date, or they can be deleted, though that will result in their deletion from your Palm device. That's one reason that it is important to take that last 'snapshot' with the Palm Desktop, so that you can refer to historic data if you need to.
It's also important to think about why you would want to carry possibly hundreds of aged events around in the Palm of your hand. Realistically, why would you want handheld access to data older than say, one year? After installing the Missing Sync, you can double-click on the Mark/Space Events conduit and optionally limit the transfer of events from iCal to your handheld. You simply select the drop-down menu labeled Ignore desktop events older than: and choose from an interval of 1, 2, 4 or 8 weeks, 6 months or 1 year, instead of the default Sync All option.
That technique is another method to deal with historic data, because the 'misrepresented' events older than will not be transfered from iCal to your handheld even during that initial synchronization where your handheld data is overwritten, if you select one of those delimiters.
Mark/Space recognizes groups and categories in iCal and the Address Book when using a Palm OS 5 or later device which supports them. iSync ignores them, because groups and categories are not mapped in the iSync Palm Conduit.

Task and Contacts (phone list) do not synchronize

Using Blackberry for over a month. Email and Calendar work perfectly fine, however Tasks and Contacts synched for a few weeks then stopped. My exchange server is working fine for all but the Blackberry server or device is not for Tasks and Contacts.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So you are on a BES?
Is wireless sync on for tasks and contacts?open each and press the menu button and go to options, and then look for wireless sync. The tasks usually are not enabled on the BES be default, so make sure your BES admin has that enabled.

I cannot make my Outlook 2010 calendar/tasks/contacts sync with the calendar on my iPhone 5, I cannot make my Outlook 2010 calendar sync with the calendar on my iPhone 5

I have wasted so many hours trying to make this work and researching Apple support. Nothing works so I am hoping to get an answer here.
First of all, here is what I am using:
Windows 7 32 bit
Outlook 2010
iPhone 5 and iPad 3
iOS 7.0.2 on both devices
I have downloaded the iCloud app for my Windows computer and checked that it sync my contacts, calendar, and tasks. I have enabled iCloud on my phone for contacts, calendars and tasks. I have not been able to get anything to sync. My iCloud calendar appears in Outlook but everything is grayed out. I see the iCloud reminders under my tasks tab but there is nothing listed.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iCloud on my Windows computer. I have turned off the calendars, tasks, and contacts sync under iCloud on my phone and turned them back on - nothing. I have restarted my computer and iPhone - nothing. Same results with my iPad - nothing.
Additionally, I have gmail as my personal email; also am forced to use Good for Enterprise for my work email.
I am at my wits end. I finally ended up syncing today with the USB cable via iTunes but the whole point behind iCloud is to be able to sync wirelessly.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello there janis143,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like after the recent iOS update, your Outlook content is no longer syncing properly to your phone.

Synchronizing outlook with mac contacts, notes, tasks and calander

I ahve all the settings for synchronizing beetween mac contacts, calendar etc....Why is it not sybchronizing with outlook?

Hi,
How did you configure your email account in Outlook 2013? Via POP or via IMAP?
To synchronize Outlook's Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Notes depends on your smartphone. If you are using an Outlook.com account, we can configure your email account via Exchange ActiveSync which is capable of synchronizing E-mail, Calendar, Contacts and
Tasks folders. If you are using another email service, you can switch to the Outlook.com email service and
keep your current email address. For more information, please refer:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/18
Seems another way to sync your outlook Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Notes is to use Kies. If you are not familiar with the tool, please check the link below and see if it helps:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00052710/61344
Since this feature depends on your smartphone and we can do few things in this forum, it's better to contact your phone
supplier to get further assistance. Thanks for the understanding.

Outlook Mail, Calendar, Notes and more?

Hi!
I am a Windows Mobile person but I recently feel in love with Bold, thinking of getting one right away but after going through the forums, I am slightly lost.
I am currently able to synch my HTC phone with my company's outlook mail, calendar, notes and contacts. My company has Microsoft exchange but no BES, so I am thinking of signing up for the BIS with my operator. Question is will I still be able to synch mail, calendar, notes and contacts with BIS? I only see references to mail only. Not sure about the rest.
Thanks a lot to anyone who is willing to help a potential newbie!

Hi JSanders,
Thank you for your reply. So just to confirm, there is synching of calendar, address book, tasks and memos. How about contacts? It that the same as the address book you mentioned?
How is the performance of the synching? Is that a significant delay or just a matter of seconds?
Thank you.
Yes, Contacts = Address Book.
The sync on Desktop Manager 4.5 and 4.6 is somewhat slow, it appears to give the data an extra couple of read passes for some reason. On DM 4,2, the sync was lightening fast.
Expect 7-8 minutes for a sync on DM 4.6 with 1,000 contacts.
