Whether there is some a replacement for contacts? The similar program can? Contacts do not work for me at windows 2005
I have upgraded to mUn_2.00.SE_WWE_GPS and everything seems fine apart from the orange voicemail bug mentioned in another post.
Messenger synchronized my msn contacts onto the phone so I had 2 of each which was fine as I have all ready read about this issue.
So I updated the msn ones and started to remove the original ones from the phone.. They have a different icon
All appeared fine. It would tell me when my contacts were on line etc etc.
I then went to outlook and made sure there were no contacts in there so I could have a fresh updated list of contacts when it synced.
However these contacts will not synced. I created a test one in outlook and that synced fine to my phone. Am I missing something here??
All I want to have is the same contacts on my phone/windows live and outlook. Surely this can be achieved??
Are you using ActiveSync 4.5 already...? I suspect that might have got something to do with your issue
Do you get any error-messages at all ? Giving us some more clues....?
And very important: what version of Outlook do you run ?
more info, hope you can help now
I have it synced with 2 machine and neither work.
1 is windows XP with active sync 4.5 and outlook 2003 the 2nd is vista with the mobile device center and office 2007.
I can sync normal contacts created on the phone or in outlook it is just the ones imported from live messenger that will not copy back to my outlook contacts.
I have a feeling the phone does not recogonise these as contacts as they have a different icon from ones created on the phone. It looks like a grey folder rather than the little address card.
Please help
Hmmmzz....actually this is very interesting; i didn't dare using Live Messenger up until now just BECAUSE of the syncing of ALL messenger contacts into Outlook. Now that you report that it doesn't, the question raises if M$ has meant this to be...
Then again; did you check the settings under Windows-Live (on your Trinity)? You can go to 'options' with the right soft-key, and there are 6 setting menu's there, where you need option 2 to check the box in front of 'Contacts and Messenger'
Let me know if that worked for you...

what has happened is all the msn contacts have sync'd to the phone but not to outlook.... any ideas why
update
on the menu. select what you want to sync both contacts and messenger and merge duplicates with outlook are ticked

contacts are NOT merged, but only show up in 1 list
contacts are NOT merged, but only show up in 1 list.
sim contacts
outlook contacts
msn contacts
are shown whithin the same contact browser but are not really merged.
Each contact type only syncs with it`s proper sourec, pocket outlook wit desktop outlook, msn with msn (or say "live"), and SIM contacts with SIM-import-export programs.
that's all and that's ok.
the real issue is that i find "show SIM-contacts merged yes/no" but cannot find "show msn contacts merged yes/no".
it sucks, but not really too much.

Hi there,
I have upgraded from WM5 to WM6 and I am running windows vista with windows mobile device center.
After the upgrade it has recognised my phone as a new device and therefore I cannot resync my contacts etc to it.
Can anyone help me as I have loads of contacts that I really can't afford to lose...
Thanks in advance
Im running vista and WMDC as well but whenever i flash even when it detects it as a new device it still syncs my contacts and everything else.
Do you have Outlook installed? Without outlook i believe it won't save any contact or calender info i may be wrong though...
yep have outlook 2007 installed
It isn't configured though - can anyone confirm if the above is true and whether it would need to be configured?

Yes. It will resync your Outlook contacts. Just make the new partnership and voila! I have deleted and repartnered my device many many times. Ever so often I backup my Outlook contacts to a CSV or XLS file.
My suggestion to you is open Outlook and export your contacts to a CSV or XLS file.
Then make your partnership!
hello all - i'm using b&b4.1 on my orbit (cheers tom!) and I was just wondering if there was a way in contacts to view only the contacts on the phone i.e. not live contacts or sim contacts? Also, having signed into msn I now have 100’s of unwanted contacts under different names and I can’t seem to be able to sync the contacts with outlook or windows address book so that I can delete/rename most of them. Anyone used an app to work around this – if possible I’d love to use pocket CM but is there a PC syncing utility?
Cheers
As you may have seen in my other threads I have updated to WM6 on my O2 XDA Orbit. I'm experiencing a number of problems and have just noticed another which I thought deserved its own thread.
I am trying to copy all my contacts to my computer (Outlook 2007 on Vista) using the Sync Center. I've never actually done this before so it may be something I'm doing wrong - please forgive any stupid questions. Anyway, I have told it to sync contacts between my computer and my phone but this just doesn't happen - no new contacts appear in Outlook. I also created a test contact in Outlook but this does not appear on my device. Also, my calendar isn't synchronised either.
I have also tried syncing on my XP machine (also Outlook 2007) and it also doesn't work. That's using ActiveSync 4.5.
Is there a step of setup that I have missed? This is partly to do with attempting to solve one of my other problems and partly just because I want to keep backups that are in a readable format (i.e. not just copying PIM.vol).
Bonus question: how can I make it so that the contacts that are saved on my SIM get saved to my device?
