When I look in the windows live options and then sync options, the only option I can choose is if I want to sync my email. Store Windows live contacts in your mobile phone's contact list and merge duplicate contacts are greyed out and preselected. But I do not want to have my live contacts in my contactlist. Anybody knows how to make those options selectable ?
Try asking in the WM6.1 v1.1 or WM6.1 v1.0b Threads.

I think it can be changed only when you are logging for the first time, because I have it grayed out too but it's disabled. I remember that I could change it when I was logging for the first time

Hi, you need to upggrade your Windows Mobile Device Center 6 to the version 6.1, the new version contains more phone drivers for Windows Vista Mobile Device Center.
Just download the appropriate language of the list and install it.....

In order to check those other boxes, you must run outlook once and configure it..or press don't add email account..

Got Tornado SP5m WM6 Vanila V2
Hi there,
I got a WM6 phone full of contacts. I've been using the phone with Windows
Live and I have spent hours tidying up contacts with MSN live accounts and
so on.
As I reinstalled the OS on my PC, I deleted the partnership of my WM6 phone in order to start fresh. Everything works fine if wasn't for the fact that my existing contacts simply WON'T SYNC. I'm using Windows XP SP2 with Activesync 4.5.0 and Outlook 2007 (installing SP1 as I write this).
I tried to tick/untick the option to sync my contacts. All I got as a result is that ALL of my non live-enable contacts have been whiped out (yes, OUCH!)
If I create a new contact on the phone (outlook contact only) or on the PC the new contact will sync. But as for existing contacts they are simply ignored!
If I copy an existing contact, IT WON'T SYNC
If I try to modify an existing contact, IT WON'T SYNC
If I try to create a new Windows Live contact, IT WON'T SYNC
I tried to delete the profile and parterships to start fresh but I got no luck. Could someone please advise? I'm about to to flip out here!
Thank you all in advance!
Regards,
P
I've searched here and there, far and wide until the search button wore off my screen.
I have a Sprint Touch Pro running WM6.1 and Touchflo 3D.
I'm looking for an application that will scan my contacts for birthday's and anniversaries and export them to my calendar on the correct date for the current and/or upcoming year(s).
I've found several apps that are standalone or Today plug-ins, but I don't want the additional overhead of running unnecessary applications taking up memory.
Anyone know or have such an app?
I am wondering if you have explored the contacts page on your WM 6.1 .
If you would, you should see that you are able to set birthday's and anniversaries. So WM 6.1 will update the calender.exe to show that it's a recurring event.
And if you synch with the desktop, it should show on your outlook too.
At least, this is happening for me.
Thanks for your input. I'm aware that if I sync my phone through activesync with Outlook that it will put my birthdays and anniversaries in the calendar in Outlook and on my phone, but I don't own a copy of Outlook and have no desire. I rarely connect my phone to any PC except for the occasional file transfer or software install.
thnks
ill be using that

I've been looking for the same thing too
Hey there,
I'd like to refresh my contact list. I'd like to use Windows Contacts or Windows Live to sync them with my Mails (what would be included in Live) and my phone. I can add contacts in Windows Live, but I cannot add a picture to them But I can't add new contacts in Windows Contacts... Normally, there should be a button to add a new contact, but even if I press right click -> new -> contact I cannot ad another one. What did I do wrong?
Another problem is that I cannot get the contacts from my phone to my computer. How can I do that?
I do not use Microsof Outlook, so this solution is unfortunateley not the right fo me.
Bye,
Chris
don't believe that activesync or vistas sync support anything but outlook
I would try to google alternativ sync programs to solve this if I were you
you may have to buy the sync program though
Think the Seven Beta program does sync of contacts with Windows Live. I know it is primarily and email delivery prog but as far as i can recall it also does sync betwee Windows live and your phone. Think it also does Google as well. I have never needed it for that as mine is all managed OTA with an Exchange server.
Question.....
Windows Live has a service that you can view all your e-mail accounts and social networks from one site....(they've seen Vodafone 360 services probably) but I've one big problem with that. I would like to keep one contact list between my HD2, Outlook and Windows Live.
So I download the Live Plugin for outlook expecting that it will sync my calendar, tasks and contact list between outlook and Windows Live...but no....My Windows Live contacs, Calendar and Task list appear as a extra list in Outlook....now can I copy it from one list to another...but that's not synchronization....or can I somehow change the list it syncs?
I tried to delete the standard outlook contacts,calendars and tasks so that the phone would sync with the list Windows Live made but I can't......I've made the Live data file "default" but the mobile phone can't sync with it.
You can select in the Windows Live application on your phone to download and merge the contacts in your phone but that's only once and not if I change something in the phone that it will upload the contact
What to do? Help me plz....
The thing I like is that when I add a contact in my phone it also synchronises to the Windows Live contact list and to outlook.....but how?
Moved as not software release..
This is something I'm wondering about also. How come Windows Live Contacts don't two-way sync with Windows Mobile? I know that they will be upgrading their Windows Live services to support full Exchange protocol soon, but what do we do in the meantime? I don't understand how come this was never implemented in the first place.
