Can't figure out syncing contacts with Windows 7 mail

I've only been using Windows 7 for about a month and can't figure out why the contacts from my iPhone won't sync to the Windows Live mail of Windows 7. I want my phone contacts to override my mail contacts, not the other way around.
In the INFO tab of the iPhone sync section I have the box checked to sync contacts. It gives me three choices: Google Contacts, Yahoo Contacts, Windows Contacts. I have Windows Contacts selected.
If anyone can help me sync my phone contacts down to the Windows mail contacts it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for trying to help but unfortunately I'm even more lost. I followed those instructions but to no avail. I can't begin to figure out why a simple thing like syncing my iPhone contacts down to Windows Live mail is such a big ordeal.
There are a ton of my contacts showing up in the contact list of my mail but it's not even close to being the most updated list. I honestly don't know where Windows Live got them from but there's just a whole weird mix of people, many of which aren't even my contacts but just email addresses of strangers that I may have dealt with one time in the past. The whole **** thing is a mess and I don't know where to go from here.

  • Can't figure out whats wrong with this IF statement

    Hey.
    I must be tired cause I just can't figure out why this IF statement doesn't work. It's probably something silly but please help me get it right. The user is prompted with a form (textfield) and I'm gonna check if its the right password (this is not the reason im doing this but it works good for this example).
    if(displayable == form){
              String correctPassword = "abcd";
              System.out.println("Input: " + textfield.getString());
              System.out.println("Correct: " + correctPassword);
              if(textfield.getString() == correctPassword) {
                   System.out.println("Password is correct");
                   Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(mList);
              else {
                   System.out.println("Wrong password");
                   destroyApp(true);
                   notifyDestroyed();
    }Even though i enter the correct password, it still thinks it is incorrect. This is how the WTK compiler outputs the above statement.
    Input: abcd
    Correct: abcd
    Wrong passwordObviously the passwords DO match, so what am I doing wrong?

    The == comparison operator returns true for equal primitives OR for variable references to the same object.
    Classes (usually) override the .equals (Object obj) method inherited from Object to return true when objects of the class are essentially equivalent.
    Run this java code segment and try to understand the output.String aStr = "A string";
    String bStr = aStr;
    if (aStr == bStr) System.out.println ("== true");
    else System.out.println("== false");
    if (aStr.equals (bStr)) System.out.println (".equals true");
    else System.out.println(".equals false");
    System.out.println();
    bStr = new String ("A string");
    if (aStr == bStr) System.out.println ("== true");
    else System.out.println("== false");
    if (aStr.equals (bStr)) System.out.println (".equals true");
    else System.out.println(".equals false");
    System.out.println();
    bStr = new String ("Some String");
    if (aStr == bStr) System.out.println ("== true");
    else System.out.println("== false");
    if (aStr.equals (bStr)) System.out.println (".equals true");
    else System.out.println(".equals false");Ask again if it's not clear enough. But first, read the API for Object.equals (Object obj) to understand the contract of .equals (...)

  • How can if figure out which contacts are in both iCloud and on my Mac?

    I keep contacts on my Mac and on iCloud.  I want to see which ones are in both databases.  Some of them automatically "linked" and others did not.  The search for showing contacts that are both a member of "my Mac" and a member of "iCloud" does not seem to work.  I also want to figure out which contacts are not in a group and this has been difficult as well.

    If you change your preferences so that the defaul is not iCloud then you get two sections like this:
    When I don't have it set to On My Mac then I only get one section because all of my cards are in the cloud.

  • How do I Sync Contacts with Windows Live and Exchange on same phone?

    Hello,
    We use Exchange 2007 at the office for our corporate email. I also use Windows Live for personal email. Everything works great from the iPhone. I'm able to get both Exchange email and Live email via "push" on my iPhone.
    My question surrounds how to sync my Windows Live contacts to my iPhone. Can anyone guide me in getting this achieved? Right now, the only contacts getting synched are those in Exchange. Note that we use IMAP and not POP3 for Exchange. Not sure that it makes a difference.
    Thanks.

    To achieve this, you need to export your Windows Live address list to an XML file.
    Go to people.live.com, select Manage followed by Export. In iTunes, you can then select to sync the XML file.

  • We have two apple ID's and two libraries.  My daughter's IPOD is syncing with my library and I need to change this, but I can't figure out how.

    We have two apple ID's and two libraries.  My daughter's iPOD is syncing with my library and we really want to go to just one library--Mine for ease and we can't figure out how to do it.  Please help!!!

    Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
    If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.

  • The window displaying bookmarks is too large (suddenly happened with the new version). I can't figure out how to make the display smaller. Zooming out does not work on the bookmark menu display.

    I have version 4, just downloaded, and a Mac w. OS 10.6. 7.
    The bookmarks display (when I pull down "bookmarks") is much too wide. I can't figure out how to reduce the display size. The window is not persistent so I can't even get you a screen shot.
    Thanks, Sara

    It seems there was a change in Firefox 4 where the width of the drop-down is now determined by the length the longest bookmark name in the folder being displayed. Previous versions of Firefox would shorten a long name like that and add an ellipsis to signify the name was truncated.
    Sorry, I don't know how to change that other than to advise you to edit the name of that long bookmark name and make it less verbose. Just scroll down the list of bookmarks in that wide folder until you see the culprit, then right-click that bookmark and open Properties & edit the Name line at the top of that dialog.

  • IPad can't sync contacts with iCloud

    I need some help....  I have an iMac running Mtn Lion (10.8.2) and an iPad3 (6.0.1) and I'm trying to sync the two in iCloud.  Contacts are giving me a headache.  I've got the contacts into iCloud so I went to iTunes, clicked on the iPad and went to "info".  Thought everything was OK but no contacts (actually there are a couple) on the IPad.  Went back to iTunes and clicked on the iPad. went to "info" and now there is no box to check next to "Sync Contacts" and the message in the box says  "Your contacts are being synced with you iPad over the air from iCloud" and "Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on your iPad."  My contacts are syncing (iPad) with iCloud and I can't figure out to get the check box back so I can choose to sync my contacts.  I know there are other threads out there with similar questions but I couldn't find anything that helped me.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Correction....my iPad contacts are NOT syncing with iCloud

  • Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud

    Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud. The only way to do is to have a local copy of address book. What else can I do (before BB will fix the bug)?

    Ah! This explains why I have been tearing my hair out for the past 24 hours trying to get my contacts from Address Book to my new BB Torch!
    I found a workaround for a one-time sync:
    1. go into Address Book prefs and temporarily change Default account from iCloud to On My Mac (this makes the "All on My Mac" category visible)
    2. Go back into your contacts window, select all of your contacts, and copy them to All on My Mac (this will create duplicates of everything)
    3. Sync the BB.
    3. Return to prefs to change default account back to iCloud, and select all the contacts in All on My Mac and delete them, thereby removing all duplicates.
    This solution only works for a one-time sync and needs to be repeated for future syncs.
    Let's hope BB comes up with an iCloud compatible update ASAP!
