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.

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

Did you have them saved to sim?
if you had activesync setup with your PC, they will be in your outlook.

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.

how do i do that, or does it do it automatically
just bought a tilt from craigslist that is flashed with duttys wm6.1 and has a bunch of applications on there, everything works great...
the guy I bought it from has all of his calendar crap on there as well as his contacts. how do I get rid of them without getting rid of all the applications on there?
what exactly would a hard reset do? is that the one where I press the reset+camera+power button simultaneously?
What you need is PocketOutlook Eraser. I use it successfully when doing a new sync. You can choose to delete all PIM data, or just contacts or just messages or just calendar etc etc.
Here you go...

THANKS MAC!!
Awesome tip. I had a similar problem to the OP. I got a new phone, and am giving my old one to a friend, I wanted to leave programs etc. for them, but not my contacts and calendar stuff, I was ripping my hair out trying to figure out how to do it.
Thanks again!
Hi all,
Just recently i re-formatted my hard drive on my laptop and put vista back on it. Now i went to connect my Diamond to the laptop...it downloaded some updates etc and installed and also installed the windows mobile device center.
Anyways the phone synched but it didnt give me a chance to specify where and what i wanted synched etc. So anyways it seems like all my contacts that were on the phone have gone missing...which annoys me to no end as i had no back up. Usually i have my contacts backed up on my outlook email program.
Now it must have synched the contacts somewhere but for the life of me i cannot find where. So does anyone have any ideas as to where my contacts have gone??. They arent on the sim card as i usually keep them on the phone memory. Ive checked through the phone memory...checking through all the files and cant see where they have gone...they have obviously been taken off the phone when the stupid thing decided to synch itself before i had a chance to stop the synch. I dont know how it synched because it only installed the microsoft stuff after the first synch.
Anyways really hoping someone can help as i cannot afford to lose all these contacts that i have had on the phone...
I would say that it synced all your contacts from your laptop to the Diamond i.e. nothing. It is usual to sync this way when first connecting.

Did you never synct your contacts with any Gmail or MSN account, or did you never create a backup of your system with SPB backup, if you have then there must be a way to import them again in Outlook and sync them to your phone, an other way maid be easy recovery, with this program you maid be able to find your .pst back at your harddsik important is that you install as less as possible during the time you didn't found it back cause everytime you install something at your pc the possebillity to overwrite the .pst files gets bigger.

I did something very similar and learnt my lesson the hard way. Good news was I recovered quite a few contacts from old phone and even better news is that I've cut down my contact list to people I actually contact, rather just accumulate!
I am absolutley certain this has been asked before and yes i did do a search.
what do i use to back up my contacts etc. Active sync has this retarded warning that says there has been a change on my server and all changes since last sync will be lost!!
what kind of crap is that? I have contacts in there that i need since my last sync. what do i do?
I am trying to back up all my info because i just got a touch pro and want to put all info on the new phone
thanks

theres a really amazing program called PPCPIMBackup.
search for that.
it backs up contacts, appointments, etc. all from the phone, directly to your SD card.
just run program when you want to restore, hit restore instead of backup, and select the restore file created when you backed it up.
literally done in 5 minutes or less.
if you cant find the program, ill try to upload it later when i get off work.
ah nvm, i got it.
here you go homey.

ahh thanks alot kuz
I agree, I keep the PPCPIMBACKUP.exe on my sd card and I just switched over to a Fuze from a tilt, all I had to do was backup all my stuff ( texts, contacts, ect) on my tilt and restore it on the Fuze and I never lost a thing! Great program!
worked BEAUTIFULLY!!!!!
thanks a million
so can i use this to back up my info once in a while instead of active sync?
I really hate AS

I'm screwed, I can't believe this happened. I reformatted my PC. Installed fresh and clean version of Outlook. Installed MS ActiveSync. The very FIRST thing I did was set the ActiveSync options to have the PHONE replace OUTLOOK, thinking this will put all my contacts, calendar appointments, etc back in outlook. For some unexplained reason, that setting was ignored, and when I synced it, it deleted everything from my phone. A years+ worth of information I can't get back. So my question is:
Is there any way to recover all my lost phone numbers, appointments, etc? Or am I really SOL? I'm praying perhaps there's some file recoverable file on the phone or... I don't know. Help!
go to the recently deleted folder or something like that on outlook - this happened to me and luckily they were all in a deleted folder on outlook on my pc so check there
It was a fresh install of windows, and thus a fresh install of outlook. It was because outlook was completely 100% empty, that it erased (overwrote) everything I had on my phone when it synced. Hence there is nothing in the deleted folder...
ugh, I've done this by accident myself...
This doesnt help you now..
but it will help you from doing it again.

Did u make a backup somewhere else, like PPCPIMBackup or Microsoft MyPhone?
I don't think you can get the data back...
But I don't know why it delete your data. I reinstall my PC many time, and when I sync with my X1, the outlook copy data from phone, it doesn't delete anything.
Poor you....

Yeah, so did I, so I was shocked that the setting "Replace Outlook data with phone content" didn't take. Backup in spades and don't make the same mistake I did. I'm still crying from what I lost
