Troubleshooting: Contacts Contact list field data isn't appearing on my computer You can only synchronize the data in a custom contact list field with a text field in the email application on your computer. For
example, you can't add a contact's birthday to a custom contact list field on your BlackBerry® smartphone and synchronize it
with the email application on your computer, because the birthday field is a date field in the email application on your
computer.

My contact pictures keep changing The contact pictures in applications (for example, in the contacts application), might change if you set more than one
application on your BlackBerry® smartphone to replace contact pictures. Depending on how often or how many of your contact
pictures are being replaced by other applications, you might experience increased data charges.
To stop contact pictures from changing, you must change the options in each application that is replacing your contactpictures.

Synchronizing tasks and memos
About synchronization and reconciliation The wireless data synchronization feature is designed to synchronize organizer data (contacts, calendar entries, tasks, andmemos) between your BlackBerry® smartphone and the email application on your computer over the wireless network.
The wireless email reconciliation feature is designed to reconcile email between your smartphone and the email application on
your computer over the wireless network. When you file or delete email messages on your smartphone, these email messages
should be filed or deleted in the email application on your computer. Likewise, any changes that you make to email messages in the email application on your computer should be reflected on your smartphone.
In rare cases, if your smartphone doesn't recognize fields in a contact, calendar entry, or email account, some data or email
can't be synchronized or reconciled.
If wireless data synchronization isn't available on your smartphone or if you turned off this feature, you can use the
BlackBerry® Desktop Software to synchronize your organizer data. For more information, see the Help in the BlackBerry Desktop Software.
Research In Motion recommends that you regularly create and save a backup file on your computer, especially before you update any software. Maintaining a current backup file on your computer might allow you to recover smartphone data if your smartphone is lost, stolen, or corrupted by an unforeseen issue.

About synchronization conflicts A synchronization conflict occurs when you change the same email or organizer data item on your BlackBerry® smartphone and
in the email application on your computer.
If you reconcile your email using wireless email reconciliation, on your smartphone, you can set whether the email on your
smartphone or the email on your computer takes precedence when an email reconciliation conflict occurs.
If you synchronize your organizer data using wireless data synchronization, the organizer data on your computer takes precedence over the organizer data on your smartphone when a data synchronization conflict occurs.
