did any one use the my phone service with their previos phone 6.1/6.5/6.5.x OS with contacts and was able to import them once their windows live acaunt was sighned in?
i know that you are suposed to but sence i dont have an actual live WP7 device just my HD2 i need to know...
you can't import straight from myphone.
Easiest way I found was to sign up with soocial.com, install the cab file, upload my contacts, then share them with my live account. Soocial will also let you export a .csv file that can be opened in your live account to add contacts.

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.
Hi everybody,
at my office every employee is working with a HTC Touch 3G.
I'm looking for a program to select which contact I want to synchronise with each device, maybe just an export function? I don't want to lose the contacts already on the phone and don't want them to be imported to XP either.
Thanks!
hi
i bought galaxy s2 and i wants to import the calendar to gmail
i had the n73 of nokia and i export the file of the calendar
the file name is "2011-06-15 Nokia N73.nbu"
i try to import this file to calendar but i get error notice
"csv" or "lac" file only you can import
how can i import nbu file to gmail?
this is possible?
tanks
I do not think this is possible without converting the nbu files to cvs.
You could, however, use NbuExplorer (it's freeware) to do just that and then import the resulting cvs files into gmail.
Also, I cannot post outside links as I am stamped as a "new user", but just google it and you should find it.
i download nbuexplorer
when i export the item of the calendar
i get 3 folder
event,appointment,anniversary
in each folder i have many files of "vcs" (that include the information that i need)
and gmail can not import them
gmail also impory only one file
how can i zip the 3 folder to one cvs file?
thanks
Unfortunatelly I cannot assist you with that, I've never exported nbu files, as my last Nokia didn't even have an integrated calendar that was even remotely useful. Pretty old phone though. I'm sure there must be a help file for NbuExplorer or something of the likes?
i still have the n73 phone
maybe i can sync the calendar with application ?
Google Sync might do the trick, if it is available for your Nokia phone. I've used it before to sync my contacts from my Blackberry to my android phone. I'm not sure about calendar functionality though.
Edit: actually, yes, it seems to support exactly that. You need a google account, but as you have an android phone, I suppose you already do ;-).

I've always read it was not possible, if someone has a soft to do that mp me please
I currently use Gmail as my main email account but obviously needed a windows live account which I set up using my gmail address.
I havent really bothered sorting my contacts out before but not I have a decent phone I'm doing it so I deleted them all from Gmail and added them all to Windows live and synced to my phone no problem.
I realise I can export my windows live contacts to a CSV file and upload to Gmail which is fine.
What I really want is for all my stuff to be in Gmail on an ongoing basis.
If I therefore set google contacts to sync to my phone will they only update one way i.e. if I add someone on my phone that will sync to windows live and not gmail? If so that will be very irritating as I will need to remember to go into gmail and add all the info and duplication is what I want to avoid.
I guess this is also the same with google calendars?

Well, if it didn't sync both ways, it wouldn't be 'syncing' at all then now would it? XD
Syncing stuff with a Google account works the same way as it does with a Windows Live account. Any changes you make to the account will be sync'd both ways. I use Windows Live for my contacts, and Google Calendar for my calendar and it works fine.
Just, in regards to Google Contacts, you gotta watch out for those custom fields in a contact, as they don't seem to sync properly with the phone.
Ok thanks, well if I make them both match from the start (windows live and google contacts) and set the contacts to sync with google then in theory everything should match up and be the same in all 3 places regardless of if I add a new person on windows live, google contacts or the phone.
That what you mean yeah?
What are these custom fields you speak off? I've not spotted anything in there.
Sorry I'm not very clued up on all this technology business, I presume you mean fields in google contacts that arent within windows phone 7 or windows live meaning info will be missed when synced.
Are all the fields in windows live replicated in google contacts? (I know this is a lazy question)

The custom fields are fields you can define in Google contacts. For example, you can add a ton of numbers for your contacts and rename the label to whatever you want, Windows Phone only recognizes the first couple of numbers with common labels (work, home, mobile), and after that won't sync the rest. Stuff like that.
Also, while you can link an existing contact to more than one contact syncing service (for example, to both Gmail and Windows Live) on your phone, when you create a new contact on the phone, it only makes that contact in one of your services (so either Gmail or Windows Live, your choice). Because it only syncs to one service, you'll eventually have to remake the same contact on the other account in order to keep all 3 in sync if that's your plan.
Windows Live and Google Contacts share the same basic fields, its just that Google allows you to make custom fields as well and Windows Live does not.
Thank you.
From what I've seen it will always sync back to windows live if you create one on your phone as there is no way to change what you sync to windows live which means I'm always going to have to manually add things back to google which is a real pain.
It looks like the only way round this is to make them match from the start and then periodically export them and upload to google which I guess doesnt take too long but still annoying.
They should really fix that and look at upgrading windows live as its so slow and clunky to use, takes ages to browse around it when adding contacts and editing them etc
