Cant sync windows live contacts on macbook

hi,
i wanna sync my windows live account for saving contacts and calendars on my macbook pro i somehow managed to connect mail application with windows live , on calendars i have registered it but it is not working , in calendars i cant see windows or exchange under the calendars bar , atleast in conatcts i can see exchange under groups but there is a thunder symbol beside it
thanks,

It won't work on your Mac, Sync access to .live accounts is not available from Microsoft, it is available for portable devices (phones etc) and that is why you are in this situation.

  • HT203097 Sync windows live contacts and iphone 5s

    Please help.  I am unable to synch my window live contacts (2012 version) with my new iPhone 5s 16G with iOS 8.1.2.  Only two of the 70 or so contacts come across.
    Thinking something might be off on the MS side, I  exported all the contacts to CSV, removed all duplicates and issues, deleted the original contacts in the windows live contact section, and then reimported the updated CSV file.
    However, after attempting this, no luck.  Again, only two contacts came across - one of which is no longer in MS Live Contacts.
    I have not been able to find any thing on this point in the apple help.  The MS help was for older versions. And the only online forum I saw with this topic was forum techguy  and he said it could not be done.
    Please give advise on how to proceed.

    Hi Carolyn F,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with the contact sync on your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact configuration you currently have set up on the Windows side, but if you are able to get your contacts into Microsoft Outlook, you may find the option outlined in the following article helpful:
    Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010 - Apple Support

  • After attempting to sync my iphone contacts with my windows live contact i now have no contacts showing on my iphone

    i was messing about with my itunes contacts and attempted to sync all my windows live contacts  with my iphone, i dont know what setting i have changed but i now have no contacts showing on my iphone, i have tried to restore my iphone but this failed.
    Cheers for your Help!

    The sync process for contact info and calendar events is a bidirectional or true sync process. You can't transfer only contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone only to the supported application on your computer. Contact info and calendar events available in the supported address book and calendar app on your computer and contact info and calendar events available on your iPhone will be synced so the info available on both is identical.
    If you have a MM account, you need to sync the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book first. After confirming your MM online address book matches the supported address book on your computer, follow this by enabling over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. This will erase all existing contact info on your iPhone and replace it with your MM online address book info, and the same for calendar events.
    If you have contact info available on your iPhone that is not available with the supported address book on your computer, you need to sync your iPhone's address book with the supported address book on your computer via the iTunes sync process first. Follow this by syncing the supported address book on your computer with your MM online address book. After confirming the supported address book on your computer matches your MM online address book, enable over the air syncing for contact info with your MM account on your iPhone. After this, your iPhone's address book will be kept synchronized with your MM online address book which is kept synchronized with the supported address book on your computer and vice-versa.

  • Link Windows LIve Contacts

    Hello, I just upgraded my laptop to windows 8.1
    Prior to upgrade I have an access database that linked (used as read only) my windows live contacts from outlook.
    Now that I have upgraded and reinstalled everything I can no longer link the windows live contacts folder in my access database.
    I do recall having to install a fix or add-in that allowed this but cannot locate.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
    Note: I can link standard contacts folder. Maybe there is a way to sync a standard contacts folder with windows live contacts.
    not using business contact manager please

    That's not quite what I meant. What I meant was that any authoritative forward looking information is not allowed on these forums (see the ToS). Anyone who has access to such information is restricted from releasing it. In essence, that reduces to "rumor" any forward looking information you might see here. Since these forums are not a user-to/from-RIM conduit, the information will come only from other users...who, by our very nature, simply don't have access to such forward looking information. I hope that RIM is looking into this situation (and hundreds others, btw), but we have no way to know if they are.

  • How to sync Windows Live Mail Contacts on PC to my iPhone 4S?

  • Windows Live contacts problem

    Hi,
    I have a Nokia N73 and I wanted to update my Windows Live application (Menu --> Applications --> Download!). The download and the installation succeed, untill Windows Live is synchronizing my contacts. It starts at 3 %, then 10 % and then I have to wait for a minute of 10 and finally it says: 100 %.
    So Windows Live (1.0.9000) didn't synchronize my contacts, because when I'm signed in, 0 contacts are online and 0 contacts are offline...
    Strange, isn't it? How to fix this?

    BIS is basically just another email client...it polls your email sever for things that need to come to the BB and pushes those to the BB. If you have another email client running (e.g., Outlook) and configure it to delete messages from the server when it does it's Send/Receive, then those messages won't be on the server for BIS to retrieve and push to your BB. It's basically a timing thing...BIS polls (per documentation) every 15 minutes. If you have your Outlook getting mail every 5 minutes, then there would be 10 minutes worth of emails that Outlook would have removed before BIS could get them and bring them to your BB. You need to configure Outlook so that emails are on the server when BIS makes it's attempt...many have found that using the setting in Outlook (or other email clients) to leave messages on the server for 1 day to be sufficient. Many email providers, however, impose restrictions on how long you can leave things on the server...you'd need to check with them to make sure you are in compliance.
    Hope that helps!

  • How can I sync Windows Live Hotmail to my iPhone?

    I'm using Firefox as my browser. I want to sync my email from my computer to my iPhone. My email is Windows Live Hotmail.

    You can directly set your email for Windows on your Iphone. Go to settings and then Mail. You should be able to add your email over there. All your email will appear on your Iphone.Firefox has nothing to do with your email from what I know. But if you want your bookmarks,tabs etc then getting Firefox Home app would be a good idea.Its not a browser but it will help you sync your bookmarks/tabs etc.
    Here is the link-

  • Sync windows live email account with other devices?

    Can i sync my windows live email so that if for example i delete an email on my iphone it deletes on my imac and ipad too?

    I was thinking that probably the mail wouldn't sync because it is a POP account I think with a live.com account (or at least mine is). I was just trying to determine whether or not I should go through the hassle of changing to an Apple email. It is very annoying to delete junk/read email on iphone only to have it still there on imac/ipad etc. However it is also a hassle to change email address...however it seems that as my live email is not IMAC it might be only answer. 

  • Cannot sync iphone 4 contacts to macbook address book

    HI,
    I'm using iphone 4 and I would like to sync all the contacts in my iphone to my macbook address book. The macbook address book is empty and is running on OS X Lion. iTunes is version 10. I tried syncing once and all my contact in my phone is wiped out as the contacts in the address book is empty. Lucky me there is a backup a few months back. How do i copy my iphone contacts to my macbook?

    If you put at least one contact, even a fake one, into your Mac's Address Book first, then when you sync you'll be given the prompt whether or not to merge the contacts.
