Hey there,
I try to sync my contacts and calender online. At the moment I use Windows Live. The problem is that I only can sync from pc to mobile phone, but I'd like to do it the other way and get the contatcs to the windows contact list easily. I do not use outlook.
How can I do it this way?

hi guys, just a quick and simple question.....
in windows vista, if i sync up and sync all contacts, where does it store this info, in xp it saved these contacts to my outlook, but on vista, alli have is windows mail and there are no contacts in there, i cannot seem to find them anywhere and need to know this works before loosing all my contacts with an upgrade.
I need help, I recently installed Windows 7 Professional on my desktop Pc. I then installed Windows Mobile Device Center and Microsoft Outlook so I can sync/backup my contacts. Well now when I try to sync my phone Windows Mobile Device Center gets an error. I tried to sync it with my laptop that is running Vista Ultimate and i get the same thing. I think I probably need to hard reset my phone but I can't because I don't have a backup of my contacts since I reformatted my desktop pc. Anyone know what the problem could be with my phone that's causing it not to sync? Or what is another useful tool to backup contacts. I have Microsoft My phone and it won't let me backup contacts cuz I already have it set to backup thru Outlook.
Are you running Outlook 2010 on a 64 bit operating system by chance? If so, the Mobile Device Center won't work. I was searching about this all morning.

No i'm running Outlook 2007. I think it has something to do with the phone cuz I'm unable to sync it with Vista or Windows 7
Have you a gmail account?
If so set it up with Exchange to sync your contacts and calendar, then you can reset the phone
i have the exact same problem!
besides that, i see that when i sync, Office 2007 (and WMDC 6.1 on Windows 7) takes the contacts i have in hotmail, and the contacts i previously had on my phone, and adds them all together, and then syncs them to my phone.. this is killing me, everything i sync my phone i have a bunch of unsorted and unwanted email addresses in my "contacts" in the phone.
any solution for this? before i used to sync contacts with no problem, in Office i even had a seperate group for hotmail contacts and just my phone contacts.. now its only 1 group together, any idea how to separete them??
Hi there,
I used to have a windows mobile 6.5 device. I sychronised over the air with exchange for work, contacts, calendar, email and notes and then at home via activesync and usb cable between the same phone and my home pc.
This meant that my phone, home and work machines had calendar and contacts in sync.
I have purchased a new Windows Phone 7 device.
For home I have configured the home outlook to sync with windows live. I have set the phone up to sycn with both windows live and with my work exchange account.
On my phone I can see contacts from either source (work exchange or home outlook) However this is displayed as being from the source accounts and will not merge/sync through to the other account.
I would like to (and used to be able to with 6.5) for example add a new contact in outlook, have it then sync to windows live (working) then sync to phone (working) then sync to exchange (not syncing contacts added elsewhere back to exchange). I would also like to be able to do the oposite (add something to exchange account and have it appear on home account via syncs.
Does anyone have some ideas, suggestions, solutions?
Please feel free to ask questions if I have not been clear.
from what i can see, you can link contacts but not merge them completely.
the only way i've been able to do it is to edit the contact details and save them to the appropriate account...but i wouldn't do it for all my contacts..
best bet would be to do it on the computer. can't you sync outlook to your work exchange and then sync your phone to outlook?
Hey there,
thanks for the response. unfortunately i can't sync home outlook direct to exchange, we have ip security for access.
It used to work a treat under win mo 6.5 this is a real backward step.
Any other ideas greatly appreciated.
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone tried to sync outlook contact with android. Is that easy to do ? Could we use the usb when in android mode?
Thanks.
Easiest to sync with Google - export your contacts from Outlook (to CSV) then import to Google. Any contact in the "My Contacts" section of Google syncs automatically. Works in WinMo as well, now you can sync your contacts between systems, and if you lose your phone you just put the info back in and bam wirelessly get all your contacts .
I could try to do that =). But I guess I'm wondering if we could use the usb in android mode to sync with like windows 7 or something? I"m not 100% comfortable having all my contacts in gmail in case I get hacked =P.

So you think your contacts are safer in Outlook if you 'get hacked'?
lol...
Not sure if that is possible, I've never tried... Perhaps someone has?
Yes - i also think that an Outlook running on my own machine is more secure than some Cloud-stuff i cant control/monitor/whatever
b2t: Outlook or Exchange? Exchange can directly sync with Android. If you are just using Outlook you could use SyncML-Tools like Funambol to keep contacts in sync.
thinking of coming across from my Samsung SG20 and i like how i can sync my desktop outlook calendar to it via smart switch. does this pixel pro have somethin like that? i DO NOT want to use GMAIL. i want to sync my desktop outlook calendar. cant find anything on the interwebs....
thanks
Use Outlook mobile? But I guess you don't want that either?
Use "MyPhoneExplorer"!
I use it to sync my Company Outlook with my phone´s calender and contacts.
Be careful in wich direction the first sync works... you could delete one side!
After that it works flawless...

+1 I use it also for my work calendar since there is no other way. As mentioned, pay attention to the synchronization setup.
To sync calendars, you will either need a host service (basically any email service provider that supports either Microsoft Exchange or CalDAV), or a service running on the computer you want to sync from (plus access to the computer from the phone, so things like ngrok, or a VPN - not talking about commercial VPN services that make you appear you're browsing from another country, but an actual, proper VPN that creates a virtual local network, or e.g. ZeroTier).
Haven't seen anyone clamoring for this feature since the WinMo days.
I've been using companion link for outlook desktop for years. i'm still on the original version 7 and it works great with most recent outlook and my p6p. They're on version 9 or 10 now but 7 works for me so I've not upgraded it.
It called deja office now not companion link.

Slightly off-topic, but if you want to sync your Outlook work calendar with a Gmail calendar, look at Gsyncit. It can sync Outlook cals to several different programs. It won't sync mail, but it works great on cals. It's automatic, (you can have it sync anytime a cal entry is updated), and runs in the background. It's pretty cheap too. It's how I get my work cal on my phone without installing all the MDM my company requires.
