Ok, I've given up trying to figure this out on my own, simply because the unfortunate keywords involved will show me Google results on just about anything other than what I need.
I want to sync my Windows contacts to Tab. Kies software does not see them. I don't have an Outlook, since Windows 7 64 bit has live mail instead. I've tried exporting contacts to VCF format, and then importing them through Kies but that didn't help either.
I also have an iPhone 3Gs that syncs to the same computer, using those same Windows contacts without a problem. Is there a way to get the contacts from iPhone?
I may be asking too much, but I'd also love to keep my contact photos that are neatly attached to many of my contacts.
This is really driving me crazy and any help would be appreciated.
Why not try exporting your contacts to CSV and then import the file into your Google address book (Contacts) online?

I don't really use Gmail. I have private server POP mail accounts and I keep my contacts on my iPhone, laptop and home PC.
Am I to get used to idea I'm gonna have to start using Google for e-mail, contacts, calendar etc.?
Use contact manager on your iphone to create a CSV and then email the file through the app to any email address you use, then on your tab log into that email account and save the CSV to your tab, then on the tab to into contacts and select import and it should find the file and loads them
that's how I did it

The problem is that CSV file doesn't pass contacts photos.

Export to VCF and import that into Google's Contacts. You don't need to really use gmail if you don't want to, but the gmail address book is the most convenient way of keeping track of your contacts. Plus you can then edit them from any PC with a web browser..
VCF (vCard) can embed images. I don't know if M$ Live Mail can write VCF with embedded images, though. But thats what you should try.
Just sync it with outlook contacts u can update with iphone and then pass to the tab. That's what in doing and when I change anything on the tab I just create a new sync so the.next sync with the.iphone will be clean and won't replace any contact.

You can export your outlook contacts as a csv file then email it to your gmail account

after flashing bunches of times, and for some stupid reason importing contacts from the sim each time and then having it sync with google, i have 6 or 7 identical numbers under each contact.
any ideas of how i can pare 'em down to just the one?
thanks!
Go to your gmail which is here http://gmail.com.
Login and then select contacts on the left side and edit away.
ps: maybe not a good idea to import sim all the time...the first time should be enough because it with auto sync to your gmail account.
that's kinda what i've resigned myself to. i guess i was just hoping that some dev had had a similar prob and had written a quick app...
oh well...
Im not sure if anyone would spend time writing an app that does that because not many people have that problem.
I guess you could use Outlook to import the contacts and see if it detectes the duplication. Or if you do some analysis on Gmail's export format, I suppose you could use regular expression to do the job as well. As zeezee said, it probably doesn't worth it to develop an app for this.
Had the same problem a while back, easiest way i found was to login to your gmail account, export all contacts as a .csv file. Open it in excel or any spreadsheet program and delete the numbers out of all but one column for each contact. After that save the file (might want to keep a copy of the original just in case), delete all your contacts from gmail, then import your edited .csv file. Let me know if you have any questions.
If you login into gmail, amd export you contacts as a cvs, then clear all you contacts and re import the csv, google will detect the dupes, and fix it for you
For best results log into Gmail and select contacts.
Check each one of the dupes and select merge contacts.
This way you won't lose any detail in case contact 1 has the email
and contact 3 has phone number and home address.
I have to do this after a day of flashing because my MyFaves numbers
always get added back into Contacts.
basically all my email contacts for hotmail have disappeared (online). I know I can export all from my contacts on my phone, but there's stacks of contacts with no email address.
I've selected only the ones with email addresses as favorites, is there anyway to export only these to save editing tons of people in the csv file?
cheers
Just use MicroSoft Excel to open the csv file, you can do whatever you want.
I dont know much about this but i do know that my phone savs the fav contacts in the PIM.VOL file because thats how I transfer contacts between roms and hard flashing and fav contacts is always there intact.
ok cheers, looks like i'll have to trawl through them. at post 2, thanks but I know I can open and edit the csv, but as I say I didn't want to ho through the crap! there's litterally hundreds of contacts mixed up with around a hundred more email people.
I was just looking for a quick way to export only favorites (the emails)

google sync for blackberry, sync up your contacts from the bold to google, then add your google account to infuse, sync contacts.
settings > accounts and sync
done.

Go to your address book > go to contact > press trackball >
press menu and select Copy to Sim Phone Book >
press menu again and select save.
You cannot do this in masse, only one at a time.
Or
I'm not real familial with RIM but you might be able to back up with Google, Exchange, or what ever RIM uses and from there put them on your Google contacts, and they will show up on your phone.

Dang sorry. If you need any more help just ask anyone.
download blackberry desktop manager, sync your BB to Microsoft outlook. then from outlook export your contacts to a .csv file(comma separated values), then log into gmail and import your contacts with the .csv file. then sync your phone with Google.

hello-
I tried the search function for the Xoom for this question but no dice:
http://motorola-xoom-tablet-help.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-to-sync-xoom-with-outlook-via.html
I used the above link to try to import contacts from Outlook into my Xoom. In the instructions, it says to make a comma separated values file, which I did, and import into my Xoom, which I did.
On the third step, it says the following: 3. On your Xoom tablet, log into the Google account and select Gmail > Conacts and import the CSV file to transfer contacts.
So I opened my gmail account (the envelope with the M partially in it), but I don't see a Gmail ->Contacts selection anywhere, so I'm a bit lost.
Anyway, I have the outlook CSV excel file on my Xoom. How do I get these contacts on my Xoom, or should I be doing this a different way?
Thanks!
The way I did it was log on to googlemail via Windows XP. I clicked onto contacts in Google Mail and then under "More Actions" there is an "Import" option. I imported my CSV file from there
And then I synced my device.
I hope this helps

Ah, you did it on the main computer. I was doing it on Xoom....or at least trying to. I'll give that a try when I get home. Thanks!
I use My Phone Explorer.
With it I get my Outlook contacts and Calendar in my Xoom.
How can I transfer the contacts from WM 6 to Windows Phone?
A quick search found the Outlook method, but I don't use Outlook and I don't have the app. Another way is copying each contact to SIM and then transfering but that is very time consuming.
Any other ways?
At least in Nokia there is a Contact Transfer application in the application menu. This works like a charm.
I don't think ActiveSync has that option.
You can transfer all your contacts to "cloud" from google: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299. On WP7 device add this account like exchange serwer and done. But you have to remember:
10. Check Contacts, Calendar, or Email, depending on which you'd like to sync. (Tasks is not supported and will lead to an error if checked.)

Here is what I did.
Saved contacts as cbf file to my PC and imported in my Google Mail account.
Now, I synced WP7 with the Gmail account. The contacts are there in the list with the numbers and I cannot call. There's no option or button for that.
EDIT: Now I checked the contacts in my Gmail account. The First, Middle and Last name are fine but the numbers are saved as notes, like
Mobile: **********
FileAs: First, Last name
I think, I got a fix for this.
If anyone any export any 1 or 2 contacts from their Gmail account which must have mobile tel, and preferrably work tel, home tel and email also and send the file to me.
You can replace the numbers by 00 or anything. Export in CSV file.
I just need the 'Fields' the gmail uses for numbers.
I am using imobiletool contacts.
