What he said.
I was activesyncing one time and had activesync screw up and delete all of my contacts in my phone and outlook.
Thank God I had them saved to sim.
I had to get all the pictures and crap back though which sucked.

pimbackup is a phone application. That means it will only open on your phone. It will back up all of your info and save them to a storage card for you.
If your phone is syncing with outlook, and all of your contacts are there, it should throw all of the contacts back in the phone.

yea.. thats what i figured.. thanks though
If they were at some point synced with your PC & your talking about losing them in both places you can use XP system retore for the PC & then re-sync.
Otherwise there's not much you can do.

System restore, isnt that just system files ?
I am pretty sure that no data at all is altered, it even says that no data is changed when you run it. Could be wrong though.
If your contacts were synced to an exchange server chances are that the IT department running it conducts regular backups and you could restore your contacts that way.
Basically, is there any copy of your contacts anywhere? Home computer? Laptop? Work server? A backup? Or perhaps someone stealing (touch wood) your data
System Restore works? It happened to me. . . LOL but that works for sure?
Try this in the future https://zyb.com/ . that might help
If you use Activesync with Outlook.
Look in your deleted items directory in Outlook on your PC/Laptop, you will find them there. Just select all and move them back to your contacts folder and when you next sync it will put them back on the device.
Same goes for anything like Outlook mail, Notes or Calendar items...
THANK YOU!!!! How do you select them all? I have 2007 version BTW so how?

Usual windows, left- click the first then SHIFT-click the last or CONTROL-left-click to select seperate ones. Right click and move to Personal folders/Contacts.
BE CAREFUL here.. when you choose where to move them, select the small '+' symbol at the side of Personal Folders to open, DON'T click on the actual Personal folders as it will just push them straight into the root folder and cause you problems.
EDIT: when I said select 'all' I meant all the contacts...Don't just select everything including mail to put in the contacts directory. Contacts to contacts, mail to mail etc...
I just clicked edit>select all and just moved them all to contacts!! THANK YOU AGAIN YOU SAVED MY ASS!!!
System restore doesnt restore the content of pst files or mailboxes- that would be insane! Imagine doing a system restore and losing your appointments/emails/contacts that you have received since...
Next time sign up for a free mozy account and save your pim data etc to their secure online storage site.
ODD, it says you have to pay?
Oops that the my referral link for paid for accounts!
Have editted it to the free mozy service now.

Told ya!! Voodoo dolls!!! (private joke...)
My wife has the Iphone and I have the Tilt. We both use the same computer. So the problem I am having is that some of her contacts keep ending up on my phone and sometimes mine get's on hers or some of hers get's erased. How can I tell my phone where to save and sync my contacts? Hers is right in outlook, but I don't know where activesync is storing my contacts on my computer. When I open outlook on my computer and go to contacts, all my wifes contacts are there and none of mine are.
I had the same problems trying to sync two different devices on the same computer. Anybody have a solution?
I had the same issue with my wife, what I did was get her set up with microsoft address book and when her phone syncs set it up to only sync those contacts, I use outlook. Once I did that I haven't had any problems. Hope that helps

there are a lot of cool people here that will help out if asked, just pass it on
I will be getting a replacement phone and have alot of information on my contacts like the address, emails, etc.
Is there anyway I can backup just the contacts and reinstall all my programs?
The reason is that I want to make sure that my installed programs are not causing my problem.
Please help! Hate to have to re-enter in all my contacts again and address/emails.
Either sync your phone with Outlook, or use a program like PIM backup.
Here ya go buddy

What does this program do?
Just what you want to, backup your contact/calendar/messaging data.

Weird, I never experienced Outlook deleting my contacts just because i removed a partnership.
so it deleted them off both your device and outlook on your laptop?

Use the backed up your supposed to make of things that are precious to you.
If you don't have a backup then I would suggest you learn your lesson and start backing up.
With all honesty, good luck.
Hey Guys,
probably is something stupid but I really don't know where looking for and how fix it.
I have my vCard file from HTC HD2 with Android 4.0.4 and I want to import the contacts to my Xperia Z1 and when I click the button Import I got the message: Memory Full. Could not import contacts!
I got more than 1gb free on my phone.
Someone can explain what happening?
Nobody have this problem? WTF? How I do now?

Not sure why you are doing this, why don't you sync you contacts from the HTC to your google account, then they will automatically sync to your Sony phone if you are using the same google account

I never did that and now I can't because my HTC is broken, but I did a backup of my contacts so I don't understand why I can't backup the contacts to my Z1. This is a problem on my phone anyway, why?

I have never been able to import a vcard sucessfully, have you tried searching the net, there are some youtube vids and some discussions on xda?
The easiest way is probably going to be to import the contacts to your computer, then use PC companion to sync them to the phone. Can I suggest in future that you store the contacts in the google account for your phone, that way whatever android phone you get in the future the contacts will be synced automatically after you attach the account.

Of course, one of them is this one: http://www.sonymobile.com/us/suppor...ntacts/backup-import-and-send-contacts-ps101/
Very easy, I click on Phone, Contacts, Menu at the right bottom, I click on Import Contact, I got: Memory Full.
On Sony Web site they saying to select Back up Contacts from vCard, where it is on Z1?

I can't to my computer because my HTC don't working. Also I was never worry to store my contacts in google account because we have the option to backup contacts in Android, the problem is that option is not working, why?
Now I am forced to store the contacts in other ways but how I will back up more than 200 numbers from my vCard Today?
Someone know how extract the contacts from vCard? That will be enough.
I really don't know why we are discussin this, surely you all back your contacts up to your gmail account....

You right, I don't know how but I was just trying to synchronize my gmail account right now and all the contacts appear on my phone. :victory:
I was 100% sure I never did that with my HTC and I remember when I back up to vCard.
Also I logged into my gmail account month ago and nothing happened so I was completely convinced.
Btw, Import Contact don't working but problem solved.
Thread Closed.
Thanks Guys.

Never solved the problem. Like never solved the problem installing (massage:no sufficient memory on phone) updates even if I have space on my internal memory.
I always used vCard because I never liked to store my contacts on a server, kind of paranoia privacy!
..but I give up so now I do not do anything than just log into my google account (play store) and they show up.
I think you have to do the same, log into your account and import contacts.
