is there a way of deleting all my msn contacts from the whole contacts system
takes forever to find any one thanks to msn live sync all the contacts into me htc contact
you should have de-selected the option "copy contacts from msn to my contacts list" (sth like this) while configuring your messenger during installation.
I suggest you now use outlook, copying the contacts of the kaiser to your pc, deleting the unwanted ones from the pc (it certainly is easier with a proper keyboard and a mouse) and then sync outlook with your mobile phone (be careful you should set active sync so that it modifies the kaiser's contact list by keeping the changes you made on the pc - have a look at active sync's settings).
i found a software that can actualy do it lol its called ClearContacts
name says it all lol
Glad to hear you found a solution lad
tho i did try the way you mentioned
but vista mobile managing software wouldnt let me sync contacts into outlook
oh yea another problem does your msn live run properly?
im having a massive problem with mine
Well, it says the server is not working properly and I can't connect at the moment... dunno if that's a world-wide issue
At work i synchronize and update my Wings with Exchange (through Onebridge). At home I want to synchronize my wings with a home pc, I want to update the home pc with email, calendar and contacts from my Wings. Once connecting Wings to the home pc usb-cable, ActiveSync starts to synchronice, and synchronizes calendar and contacts to the home pc Outlook 2007 perfectly. A checkmark is also put on "Email", but my email is not synchronized and updated in my home pc Outlook 2007! Why is that? Could somebody please help me out?
Are you using the same version of outlook at work as you are at home? 2k7? I know with word 10 if you save it as a docx it will not open in the older systems and your phone might not be registering outlook 2k7 for some reason?
Just a thought.
The only connection my wings has with Outlook is at my home pc, through ActiveSync. At work I synchronize directly with Exchange, not with Outlook.
This is what i want for contacts, calendar AND EMAIL:
Wings -> ActiveSync -> Outlook2007 (at home PC)
But only contacts and calendar is synchronized, email is not. Why is that?
Hmm I dont sync anything so I cant help too much, but with the phone connected fire up active sync and under the tools > options there are a bunch of check box's for what you want synced, make sure email is checked and anything else pertaining to it?
I have tried checking and unchecking those boxes...., tried reinstalling outlook2007, reestablishing the activesync connection... still only contacts and calendar are copied to outlook2007.... email is not.
Hi,
I have a laptop running WinXP Sp3 office 2007.
Trying to sync with my diamond touch with Active Sync (AKA - "AS") It fails to sync some of the contacts while it syncs the rest of them... with no particular reason !
Can anyone give me a better sync software than the carapy MS AS ?
Thanks.
Daniel
Do you use iContact or another Software like this?
Try one: Save your last Folders of synchronisation.
Then turn it of - everything.
The do synchronisation again (and so without contacts).
then activate your former things to synchronize, with contacts, too.
I had the same problem - and this worked for me.

See bellow post
never mind, the http://myphone.microsoft.com only works with WM6.
Ok so how can help me get my full contacts, music and pictures from my HD2 to the new phone.
Very retarted I must add. There should be a simple application that allows you to transfer all that data to ur comp or some other place and then back to the new phone, no matter what the os version is like Nokia has.
Please help
Here's what i did:
1. first create a windows live account online
2. sync all your contacts to outlook (use active sync for xp) by connecting ur hd2
3. convert ALL contacts through outlook - access FILE, IMPORT EXPORT, choose EXPORT A NEW FILE, choose Comma Separate Values (windows), then type in preferred file name (take note of file location in ur pc)
4. log in to windows live account, go to contacts page and import the contacts by accessing the file you exported from Outlook.
5. activate your phone's DATA or WIFI connection, and set-up/turn on your windows live account on your hd7.
6. once complete, all contacts should sync on your hd7!
The process is lenghty and i prefer direct sync from outlook similar to WM6.5 but i think Microsoft wants to promote windows live.
Hope this helps!
** btw, for pictures and music, i believe the best way is to use ZuneSW on your pc or use the MAC connector if you're using mac (like me!). both can be downloaded through windows website, just "bing it"!

Thank you for the reply.
Two problems
Cant sync with Outlook, have it installed, set up accounts when I connect my HD2 to it, it tells me that out look is not my default email program, even though its set to be, i checked, then when I go into settings it only lets me sink notes and some other crap, not contacts.
So I used the windows live to sink, or what I though was windows live. but its for V6 only. ( very retarted on microsofts part)
When you log into windows live, it has nothing to do with your phone.windows account.
I cant get zune to install either, gives me a net frame error, even though net frame is up to date.
Im running windows 7, with all latest updates.
Im not idiot when it comes to computer, but man windows is making it tough to do simple things.
I just tried to install that stupid software for the cloud, it would not install any o fit either, cant figure out what is going on.
You guys make things to hard. add the windows live account to your hd2 and have it sync then add the win live account to your hd7. You can also use gmail thru activesync on the hd2 and it will give you an option to sync gmail contacts on the hd7
Never thought of that before! I only opened a windows live account when i transitioned to HD7. I used the hard way (outlook sync), it's great that u suggested an easier one.
Thanks!

Tried the Gmail version when I first got the HD2 and it did not give me option of which way to sync, it saw my gmail account had no contacts and cleared them all off.
Either way, I think microsoft should develop a simple back up and sync system, without having to use outlook or windows live, i dont use either way on a daily basis.

Just tried your idea, went to Windows Live on HD2, logged in, on sync options only option is to show windows live contacts on phone, not vice versa, do a sync, log on to my live account via pc, no contacts shown.
have you actually done this? or just going of of theory?
You should use ActiveSync on your old WM device to connect to your Live/Hotmail-account.
It will sync your phone contacts to your live account which then will show up in your WP7 device.
It worked for me, even though I don't have a hotmail-address.

I use for all sort aof information Notes on the PC, I cannot find a way to sync these notes or even Outlook notes with WP8 phone. It is importnant to have in my case. Any suggestions, why the WP8 notes are not sync with PC Notes? Please advise. Thankfull for any good idee
and happy New Year
You can use skydrive to syncronize between the PC and WP
Syncs without problems via SkyDrive like said above, but also via O365 if yuo have an account. For sync to your PC you need to have Office 2010 or 2013. Or if you are Running Windows 8 the OneNote app should do it also.
