Thread: duplicate contacts, unable to delete duplicate contacts and other contacts deleted - BlackBerry® for Mac -...

Started 2 months, 2 weeks ago by sldowell
Hi, I have a bb curve 8330, I installed the destop software for mac and it seemed to work except that now all of my contacts are gone except for one that has been duplicated 5 times. Now when I try to sync again it fails, and I'm not able to delete the duplicate contacts or edit them. Is there anyway to get rid of these duplicate contacts? I can manually enter my contacts again but I ...

My favourite bit about your post is that no one from the Blackberry team or elsewhere has bothered to reply.  (I'm in the same boat as you and would really like a reliable answer.)

Hello sldowell, Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.   Do you currently have all of your contacts intact and up to date on your Mac Address Book?   If so you may want to try this:   *** Before completing these steps perform a full backup of your Mac Address Book and your BlackBerry.***   In Desktop Manager go to the "Device menu" and select "Clear Data."   In ...

Hi Fozzy, thanks for that information. I did try something like that before your reply but I don't think I did it exactly the way you described and it gave me an error that it was synced with an outside device or something like that. Eventually I did a master reset which got rid of the duplicates and then I resynced with the destop software to get my addresses, calendars and music back....

I suspect there was an issue with the Address Book database on the BlackBerry and the wipe of the device may have corrected it for you.   Thanks for following up.

Hi Fozzy Bear- I just tried this and it is still not working for me.  The address book is not in my list of applications in DM, but I have almost 1300 contacts on my phone.  Is there a reason why it can't see those contacts?   Any help you have would be great- this has been frustrating me for a week!   Thanks!

Hi Fozzy- Everything is configured correctly in Entourage- that is why I am frustrated, as it still won't work.   Any other suggestions would be awesome!   Thanks!

Hello   I could not find my contacts in the clear list.Could it be called something else. What I did find is "Handheld Agent", this is grayed out and cannot be deleted. This is the only item that has a high record number. Should I just Clear everything on the Storm and start over again? I am using Apple Mail if this matters.    Rick  Message Edited by RickSilva on 10-13-2009 ...

Hi Fozzy - I am not able to get your proposed solution to work either as I don't use Entourage. We have a Sprint BB Curve 8330m and am running  Snow Leopard on a 20" iMac.  I'm trying to synch the contacts in Address Book and it used to work fine when I had the leaked version of DM for Mac. I've tried to uninstall current version and reinstall the leaked version but I still the sync ...

Hey All   What I did was re-install the latest Storm file system. After I did that the Desktop seems to be working fine. Yes I did save al my files before I did the complete re-install :-)   Rick

All - I too ended up having the SW upgraded when connecting and it worked.  Fixed the address synch error.  Problem is the device rest itself and I lost the data.  I did a backup before hand and when I tried to bring back my wife's tasks that wasn't an option with any records.  Does anyone know where I can find the back up data file on the Mac? Which folder?

Stemmers - I am finding that since I upgraded to OS 10.6 and RIM's Desktop Manager v 1.0 for Mac, my address book will no longer sync. I can put it in the BB and sync - nothing. I put it in Address book and sync - nothing!   I don't use task or notes but the iCal is working fine and syncing.    If I have a new contact, I delete all my contacts in the BB 8330 and then sync telling Blackberry Manager to replace all contacts on my...
