  • Transfer iphone contacts to windows contacts

    hi.
    i need to transfer my contacts from my iphone to windows contacts but i do not know how to go about doing it (without erasing the contacts from my iphone).
    thanks in advance

    There is no transfer, only a sync with the supported address book application on your computer.
    If you are currently using Windows Contacts - it is populated with contact info, the first time you sync your iPhone with Windows Contacts, you should be provided a merge prompt, which you want to select. This will transfer all contact info on your iPhone that is not currently available in Windows Contacts to Windows Contacts, and transfer all Windows Contact info that is not currently available in your iPhone's address book to your iPhone's address book. The data for any contacts with the same name will be merged.
    If you aren't currently using Windows Contacts - it is empty, before syncing enter one contact in Windows Contacts - make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt, which you want to select. This will transfer all your iPhone contact info to Windows Contacts.

  • Syncing iPhone Contacts with Windows Contacts and Windows Live Mail Contacts (Windows 7)

    Please see the following graphic in which I have attempted to depict this situation from what I have been able to find, and please refer to the following thread (third post) for further details:

    Microsoft copied Google and now supports accessing a Hotmail or Windows Live Mail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app. This provides Push access for received messages and for syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with the account on your iPhone.
    For syncing calendar events direct with an application on your computer via the iTunes sync process, you need Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010.
    I understand your second statement about the needing Outlook - but I'm trying to reconcile it with your first paragraph - there is support for calendar events over the air between Windows Live and iPhone? So it can be done, just not physically through syncing via iTunes?

  • Windows Contacts and Windows 8?

    This is a question for people on the operating system team: What is the role of the Contacts Folder in Windows 8?  Do the Contacts sync with the metro People app, Windows Live Mail, or Windows Messenger?  If not, is it pretty much an abandoned
    feature?

    Hi,
    In Windows Live Mail, it will sync Windows Live Messenger contact and Windows Contacts. Regarding People app, it just sync Windows Live Messenger contacts default, it won't sync Windows Contacts on local computer.
    The role of the Contacts folder is same in Windows 7

  • Windows 8.1 & Skype: how to call a contact from the Windows Contact List?

    Hi  I just added a contact on Win 8.1 Surface. When I try to call directly from the windows contact list I get a message that skype has been replaced by skype for desktop. When I remove the skype app (and keep skype for desktop) calling from the list is also not possible: I get a message that no app is associated (message-skype-com) Is there a way around it? Or is it currently not possible to call a skype contact from windows contacts? 

    Hi, Pancake12,
    Because I am not certain I an interpreting what you mean - although it looks quite literal - I am going to provide three separate pieces of information:
    - To remove a contact's name from your Skype sign-in window, please refer to the instruction in this FAQ article - using their account name, not yours:  https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA11070/how-can-i​-remove-my-skype-name-from-the-sign-in-screen-in-s​...
    - In case you mean removing a contact from the Skype Home Screen when you say, "sign in window," unfortunately, we cannot do this.  Skype has some arbitrary algorithm which places recently contacted people on the Home Screen.
    - In case you mean removing a contact from your contact list, here is an FAQ with the details how to do this:  https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA421/how-do-i-or​ganize-my-contacts   In Windows, it's as easy as highlighting by single-clicking a contact's name, right-click, and choose Remove from Contacts or Block.
    Hope this helps!

  • ITunes sync of contacts (iCloud vs. Window Contacts)

    Hi together,
    I have a question to iTunes and the sync mechanism. I am using iTunes with my iPhone 4S and at starting with it I imported all my contacts via iTunes. For this I use the settings “Synchronize Contacts with Windows contacts”. This works fine, but all contacts I added later directly at my iPhone are now synchronizes with iCloud and that’s not nice.
    At this problem I have two questions and I hope someone here can help me:
    How can I change the settings at iTunes / iPhone that all contacts are now stored and synchronized with iCloud?
    When I synchronize my contacts with iTunes the software always overwrites my meanwhile changed contacts at the iPhone with the old contacts stored at my Windows contacts folder. How can I change the settings that after synchronization the Windows contacts are updated and not overwritten with the old information?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Thomas

    Anthony...
    On the iPhone and iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Contacts to off. Same with your MBPro; System Preferences > iCloud. Switfch Contacts off there.
    Restart the iOS devices, restart your Mac. Switch Contacts back both devices and the Mac.
    See if all the contacts show up.

  • Syncing to Google and Windows contacts

    I was just wondering if this can be done. I currently have my iPhone to sync with google calenders via google sync. Works like a charm. I've also been trying to sync it with windows contacts on my pc when I use itunes. The first time I tried this, it created duplicate contacts on my iphone. Then I tried again after deleting the duplicates, and only about 10 or so out of 84 transferred to windows contacts. Google contacts showed no change. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    If your using Google sync that should be the only thing you sync contacts with. Google will be your "home" for your contacts in the cloud. If you want them on your PC you should look into how to sync Google contacts with Windows Contacts. Trying to sync another contact program with the iPhone will just cause headache and problems as you already have seen.

  • Is there a way to set an auto sync feature to icloud and windows contacts without using outlook or Windows live messenger just straight to windows contacts?

    Need to sync icloud contacts to windows contacts without using outlook or windows live messenger on my pc, i have itunes and icloud fully set up on my pc and i have an ipad2. itunes setting for syncing to windows contacts is not working, nor will it sync to my gmail. I tried to get icloud to sync to my gmail, and thought that i could then sync my gmail to windows contacts, but icloud isn't syncing to gmail either. I configured it correctly, (or at least tried). I was able to copy the csv and all that, and do it manualy, but would like it to sync automatically. Please help.
    using itunes new version (9/30/2012), on my windows 7 pc. My ipad2 is running ios 6.

    No, you need Outlook.

  • E-mail addresses don't transfer from Windows Contacts to 3GS i phone

    In preparation for my new i phone 3GS I completed all details in Windows Contacts. On syncing using Itunes, via cable connection, all names,addresses and phone numbers were transferred but none of the e-mail addresses. Yet I can now enter a new contact in Windows Contacts and all the info, including the e-mail address is transferred to the phone. Similarly I can add the e-mail addresses direct to the i phone for my existing contacts and they remain on both the phone and Windows Contacts after syncing without any problem. I don't however relish typing all my e-mail addresses into the i phone. Can anyone help please. (In case it's relevant I previously had an o2 xda Zest operating Windows Mobile 6.1 which I may have synchronised at some time using Windows Mobile Device Centre but latterly this hadn't worked so I merely connected using the xda as a storage device)

    Can you clarify what your question was ? Its a bit hard to figure out.

  • Sync windows contact - No numbers coming through

    Hi,
    When I sync to my windows contacts, the windows contacts do not contain any phone numbers if the contact from OVI contains more than one phone number.  Instead I just get the contact in windows but with no phone numbers at all.  The contact with just one number in OVI sync fine.
    Any ideas please?

    This problem was solved in earlier versions of Ovi Suite.
    There is a new minor update after the one which you mention, v3.1.1.78 - please update Ovi Suite and advise if there is still an issue.

    Have you been syncing and backing up the device regularly as recommended?
    If so, restore the device from a backup created when the contacts existed on the device.

  • Syncing Windows Contact List - Contacts Lost.  HELP!!!!

    I just replaced my older computer and of course updated the operating system to Windows 7.  In the old XP environment Outlook Express was bundled and I used the Windows contact list and it synced flawlessly with my Iphone (3GS).
    Well I just did my first sync using the newer operating sytem now running the Windows Live Mail that replaced Outlook Express and although I migrated my contact list to the new Windows Live, it won't sync with my phone, so all of my contacts are gone from my phone. 
    Can anyone help?  Itunes and the Iphone won't recognize the Windows Live contact list?  Thanks in advance.
