MSN Live and contacts

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

Syncing with Vista....... it sucks!

So here's my quandry. My PC crashed with all of my contacts on it. Fortunately, my Kaiser is quite healthy. So I bought a new PC with Vista on it and would like to transfer my contacts from the Kaiser to the PC.
Microsoft, on the other hand, had other ideas. Despite coming with a Contacts program in Vista, Windows Mobile Device Center won't let my sync to it, I must sync to Outlook. I don't like spending hundreds of dollars more for Outlook, because I just bought a new laptop and I'm broke!
I know I can get Windows Live Mail to my hotmail, pocket pc, and vista together, but all of my contacts are stored in pocket outlook, with no way that I know of to import them into Windows Live. I tried using this program:
http://pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1479
which will extract my contact info into a .CSV file that I can import into hotmail, but hotmail won't identify the file properly (so close!)
Does anybody know a way to get my contacts off my phone without typing them out one by one?

Use the free outlook licence/disk that came with your phone?

how do I transfer contacts from windows contacts?

I got windows Vista, and i can't figure how to do nothing with the sync or the mobile device manager, its like it has no options for any of that.
how do i transfer my contacts that are now in "Windows contacts" to my Diamond ?
- also, appearntly i can't do anything with my vista, stuff just won't work, it won't sync (or i don't know how) any one has experience with this ?
I think im gonna go back to my iphone this phone is driving me crazy it's too complicated for a phone and it's annoying on top of all.
Thanks in advance.

Use the owner manual

but how do u sync ? using what software ? i see the device it says: connect in the mobile device center but there is no options there to choose what to do just shows that its connected.
and when i try to flash a rom it says im not synced

As far as I know (and from a quick Google search), it's not possible to sync contacts from Windows Contacts. Only Outlook's contacts are supported.

Wouldn't it be easier to sync your contacts via your Windows Live Messenger or Outlook? I have my contacts stored in my messenger contact list and when I sync it with Windows Live the same information is synced to my contacts.

But i can't sync at all, I don't have active sync or anyway to choose my device and click sync it ! .. ?

Well then the first step would be to get ActiveSync. It's a free download from Microsoft (remember if you have Windows Vista or 7, get Windows Mobile Device Center instead).
The problem then is the fact that you don't have Outlook so you won't be able to sync anything. As VerusAmos said above, the best option if you don't have Outlook is to use the Windows Live contact sync. Of course, I'm not sure how this will help if you have all your contacts in Windows Contacts format.
It does seem pretty stupid to me that MS would just ignore people who don't have Outlook.

How To Sync The N1

Sorry if this has been covered already, I did search but could not find a response that suited.
I was using an HTC Touch Dual, on plugging into my desktop dock it synced with Microsoft Outlook, this was appointments, contacts, calendar etc. I want to do the same with my N1. I assume I need an App that works in a similar fashion to Windows Mobile Device Centre? I did do a little scouting about but a lot referenced doing so via Google. I prefer a non-online method if possible, plug and sync.
Can anyone suggest the best app or apps to acheive this please.

You can check out 'missing sync for android'. They have for both pc & mac.
That being said, i'm afraid i can't be of any more help as i've not used it. Personally pefer syncing to google's cloud

totally new, what is google cloud? and thanks for the info, i'll check it out, in the meantime if anyoone else has any suggestions, please respond.
Additionally, can apps be installed to memory card? if so, how in laymans terms
wow, $39 dollars just to be able to sync :-(

Your Google account, which keeps all the data (contacts, calendar etc) in sync with your phone over the air (or actually, over the data connection or WiFi). It wasn't designed to be plugged in to sync.

Assuming you're okay with syncing your Outlook data via the cloud and not only looking for a direct (ie plugged in) syncing solution, then gSyncit is a good utility to use to sync Outlook data to Gmail account; it's $14.99.
I used to use it before I switched from Windows to Mac at home.

I use the Google Cloud too. My info is available in the same form on my computer, my phone, and online. Contacts and Calendar at least. Best part of that method is that if you flash your phone it auto-downloads all your info from your google account when you log-in to through first boot. No plugging in and resyncing. I'm on a Mac, and this is the easiest and cheapest option for me. I won't shell out for Missing Sync because it gave me nothing but headaches for my former WinMo device. Other files are saved to my SD card and I can move them around as I please. Either via USB transfer or Dropbox.

where do i find google cloud please

We're using the term 'cloud' here to refer to cloud computing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing) where data is stored by third parties (in this case Google) and accessed via the internet.
Essentially what we're suggesting is that you sync your N1 with your PC's data via Google, ie the third party utilities mentioned above can sync to and from your PC to your GMail account (calendar, contacts, etc). Your N1 will then sync to and from your GMail account.
HTH

many thanks, i'll check the info out, still a shame there is not an offline method, so far being the only downside since my change from htc touch dual on windows mobile.

tried gsyncit but when i click on settings I get an error, perhaps not compatible with windows 7?
Error = Interface not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040155)
at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ApplicationClass.get_COMAddIns()
at gsyncit.TrayClient.frmMain.OnSettings(Object sender, EventArgs e)
Version = 1.15.27.0

got past the fault, have synced my outlook with my gmail account, however my phone is not synced with it, where am i going wrong please

In your phone it asks you for default account to sync with, when you just start it for the first time.
If you skipped that part - make sure you're on data connection (preferrably WiFi or fast 3G data), go to Settings / Accounts & Sync, press "Add account", add your Gmail account, and enjoy.

I'm running my copy of gsyncit at work on Windows 7 64bit without any issues - I run the 64bit release as I use Office 2010 there.
Best bet is check the faqs on the developer's site, or failing that contact Dave himself - I've always found him very helpful in the past.

I don't believe you can remove them. All you can do is delete the contacts so they don't show up on the phone (if you only use the Gmail or Outlook contacts). Removing them from your Live contacts will also remove them from you messenger contacts, so keep that in mind.

I believe Ms has copied this from google . so the only option is I guess you delete them in your live account or delete the live account under setting which of course will affect your market accessibility.
or better still make a new live account with no contacts

um how did
you even get your windows live contacts on the phone? i synced my contacts to windows live from myphone winmo 6.5.x then got my hd7 signed in with my windows live no contacts appeared, then signed in with my gmail account and it pulled my contacts from my gmail.

Whatever Windows Live ID you enter as the first/primary one will automatically sync with your Contacts (store in your Hotmail/Contacts account) and Calendar (stored in your Windows Live Calendar) account. There is no choice, as this is how it works. The phone assumes the first Windows Live ID you enter is your primary means of communication, therefore will automatically sync all that information to your phone.
To remove those contacts from your phone, you would delete them from your Contacts and/or Hotmail account and it will reflect the changes across all of Windows Live. This includes Windows Live Messenger.

The Microsoft MyPhone contacts are not part of Windows Live and therefore will not sync with your Windows Phone 7 device since MyPhone is not available for the platform and incompatible.

If you log in with your windows live account, WP7 will automatically use those contacts. This is by default and not changable.
Yeah you can probably delete them...or create a bogus account that has no contacts, etc., but the premise is still the same....first WL account gets the calendar and contacts sync'd automatically

Here it is what you have to do when you want to receive your hotmail e-mails but not sync hotmail contacts, in otherword to Exclude windows live contacts....
SETTINGS > ADD AN ACCOUNT > OTHER ACCOUNT > Then just type your hotmail adress and the password.
That`s it, the HD7 is only syncing E-mail !!!! all hotmail (windows live) contacts are NOT synched !!!!!
DO NOT USE "WINDOWS LIVE" option !!!!! when adding a new e-mail !!!
